"
"How?"
"Sending 'em up this telephone-pole."--_Judge_.
PUBLIC, THE
What the country needs is not a phonographic record to preserve a
candidate's voice, but something to preserve what's left of the voice
of the people.
_The Ultimate Victim_
When capital wants extra gains.
On profits tightens all the reins,
Who has to suffer all the pains?
The public.
When labor gets dissatisfied,
And would conditions override,
Who gets submerged beneath the tide?
The public.
When strikes put up the price of food,
And each side holds firm attitude,
Who always has to make loss good?
The public.
When street-cars cease to run, and balk
At all conciliation talk,
Who has to pay the freight and walk?
The public.
When managers and actors fight
And theaters are closed at night,
Who sees amusement out of sight?
The public.
Who in disputes which rise each day,
Is not permitted any say,
But always loses either way?
The public.
The public! the public! How many fools does it take to make up a
public?--_Chamfort_.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
At a teachers' institute in an Eastern city a speaker said that, in
his opinion, "the trouble with the public-school system of today is:
The teachers are afraid of the principals, the principals are afraid
of the superintendent, he is afraid of the school committee, they are
afraid of the parents, the parents are afraid of the children, and the
children are afraid of nobody!"
PUBLIC SPEAKERS
A captain in the merchant marine who received much commendation
for his wonderful courage and endurance during the war was asked to
address a meeting in the West.
