The Bluebonnet
+ Political Announce
* mente
Your Very First Opportunity To Wear
On the highway wide
Grew the cactus and the bluebonnet
side by side.
The cactus in all Its dignity and grace
Laughed as the March winds slashed
Its thorns into the bluebonnet's
face.
"Ah!” said the cactus, "far better to
me it is to be feared and never
plucked from my stem than like
you, to wither and die."
But the beautiful bluebonnet replied
with a cry, . '
"Pierce me with your thorns if you
like, laugh at me if you dare,
But me, I would rather be admired
and loved and live only for a spell
Than for fearful stories to be told of
me as of you little children tell.
They gather me with their dimpled
little hands a,id hold me in their
soft little arms and take me to
their homes where laughter and
happiness is Unown,
And my seeds are kept and in a Dsau-
tif-1 garden sown.
You see, I only die for a while, then
blossom again and again.
Now, thorny cactus, hurt me if you
desire, but I shall live on and wHh
pride remember the year, the day
and the hour when I was chosen

GIGANTIC “HOOK-UP.”
INDIFFERFNCE TO CRIME.
The bursting of a dam, part of
Lo6 Angeles water supply in San
Francisquito Canyon, cost hun-
dreds of lives. Reasons are given
for the dam giving away, but no
adequate excuse. "Water, seeping
into the eartb ?* each end of the
dam, weakened the hold of the
great concrete wall.” It should be
someone’s business to iearn why
the dam was built that way—and
what danger there is at other dams.
Why fragments of broken concrete
crumbled in the fingers.

w Compared with familiar disasters,

fo. jnately mild. There was the
big flood that drowned rl‘. but
Noah's family. The rainbow guar-
antees against a repetition of that
wholesale calamity, but small
floods have wrought havoc.
Five hundred years ago in Hol-
land 100,000 were drowned, and at
Kaifong, China, nearly three hun-
dred vears ago, 300,000 lost their
lives; 200,000 were drowned at
, Bengal, in India, fifty years ago
Many times in history eruptions
of the sea, river floods and similar
disasters have taken 100,000 lives
and more at a time. This country
can congratulate itself upon the
fact that the Mississippi flood of
'last year, destroying hundreds of
millions in property, cost only two
hundred lives. That was due t'
admirable work done by the army
and navy, and to prompt scientific
direction by Herbert Ho-.vt-
chosen by President Coolidgc r.

•I The Census Bureau says United
States population on July 1 next
will be 120,013,000. At the end
of this century, if births, deaths,
.impiigration and health run along
Vs at present, tbe population will I
be >260,000,000. If the larger per
cent of that number know how to
think it will be quite a nation. .
In the last eiftlu JUSTS fSf>’ula-
tiCb has Increased 14,302,380. The
annual arrival of babies exceed by
6ne million the number of deaths.
That is good news for the editor ■
publishing an up-to-date paper.
Bill Curley, formerly of Chicago,
now of New York, used to say,
"Every birth is a new reader for
my paper, every death of an old
man means a reader forever lost
to the opposition.” And it was
true.

A gigantic “hook-up" of radio
stations will enable 8,000,000 Amer-
icans to hear all that goes on in the
Democratic and Republican con-
ventions.
From the first announcement of
Alabama’s choice, to final howling
when the winner is announced,
everything will be heard. How-
ever, sad to relate, many of the
8,000,000 that might listen to the
convention will not listen They
will tune in for jazz music, sad
heart-rending songs, or daily doz-
ens to keep thin. In this nation,
where only half vote that might
vote, there is little deep interest
in politics.

Speaking of slush funds, bribes,
etc., you should read the book writ-
ten by Judge Kavanaugh, of Chi-
cago, after thirty-three years on
the bench. Three hundred and

says i.ast year they contributed

Heaven Help Us!
Another Saxophone!
Not content with spring house clean-
ing, presidential campaigns, senate in-
vestigations and nine saxophones, the
Fates have thrust upon us another saxo-
phone, making ten. We just received
this bad news from the Conn Music
Center, Elkhart, Indiana.
That will increase the suffering of the
public ten per cent, according to the
{■sports of the country's best statisticians.
The latest perpetration is a saxophone
Jii "F.” We don’t know what that
means blit it is reported to mean "Saxo-
phone in Finale.” If it is true that this
is the last saxophone, we're humbly
thankful. Procuring no more saxo-
phones are made, we guess we can stand
just one more. Hospital records wil\

Public indifference is to hlame
says the Judge. Each country gets
as much crime a* its indifference
deserves Judge Kavanaugh favors
use of :lie whip because:
“No crime leader retains the
respect of his gang after he has
winced under the lash. The moron
and racketeer fear the cat o’ nine
tails more than prison. Our 350,000
criminals steal yearly enough to
build the Panama Canal.”
