WE NEED A LITTLE HIPENIfT
"We are not ripe enough for self-gov
ernment."? Governor Hoggatt.
Down where old Teddy R. bold* swav,
We used to vote and have tome say,
But here? Hoggalt he Bays "Nay.
We nerd a little rlpenin'."
It seems tbat here we're much too
green,
Something like the Philippine,
Not fit to run our own machine,
"We ?eed a little ripeoin'.
Does coming North make us such
chumps?
Asses, dot's, mere loutish lumps.
Devoid of all sulf-governm nt bumps.
Thai we need any ripenin' ?
Or is Hoggatt's densenesa so obtuse
Tbat he thinks we've "frix" our men
tal juice,
Or that our wheels are ruonlng loose.
Well, wait till we get our ripenin'.
We'll show him then our unripeness.
By having no Hoggatts govern us,
Tut we'll elect some unripe cuss
Tnu don't need any ripenin'.

THE RESULT THAT HAS FOLLOWED A
600D FIGHT
The election is ovei , the returns are
counted and the names of the city coun
cil for the next year are known. It
was a close and hard fought contest
aed the result is of course t? be accept
ed with good will. As nearly an equal
division of the honors waa made as could
have been effected with seven men to
elect, the odd man bring picked up by
the Taxpayert' tickot by a margin of,
three voles. It was a good fight and It J
only remains to assume tlm the >e>t'.
men won. With wh.it dlvison of senti
ment as was represented by the two
parties in tb j eampa'gn so is th at divis
ion represented on the council by * vot
of four to three. As staled (.inline of
division isdra.ru as nearly In the tr:id
die as is possible under the circum
st new and uiualty where this b the
case the best results are to be had.
We csn therefore look forward to
good, conservative and businesslike id
ministration for the year upon which '
we enter today.
The passing in review of Admiral
Evans'blg fleet, does noi t>eom to have hid
the desired effect upon our old college
Obum Castro. Either he believes that
those ships were all wo had, or he is not
easily scared, or be is one o( those
tough siclnned people who cannot loarn
from anything but experience. One
experience with that fleet however,
and tbev would have to begin ull over
again.
It looks as though the other auto

are not going to take the American's

pleased to loam that ther-s Is at least
one dreaded disease that solenoe has
been able to cure In all Its stages, and
