» (Taeoma Daily Xews)
Manv years ago, the story runs,
v. ben taisj • glorious republic was
younger and political enthusiasm
expressed itself la foolish; eocalta
♦'on such as we sedate and deep
thiukin*; peorla do not indulge,
•wo men of opposite persuasions
liid ajwager, the-winner tot dine
on chicken .the loper to have crow.
And thus-the bet was 'paid, to
tl1- gle© of those -who witnessed the
consumption, of the 'scolding sable
b'rd of thievishly covetous! natune.
From that day to this the "politi
cal loser has been the crctw-eoter, j
aiil thousands suffer just as muclt j
from the thought-of it as "if they
were compelled actually to nibble
f!:e last shreds from the crow skele
ton. • i •
Ther« aTe a lot of us who can't
♦3ke jdefeat without a grimace and
a ypll, Just as many who cannot wi
without lampooning: itha vanquish
ed ,and between the two the days
fallowing an" election are sorry
enough for the [fellow of .equable
♦emperament, who accepts all
events 'as the •'will of fate, 'smiles
aiid buek9 into the next thing' In
which he believes and:'for which! he
is willJng 'to fiht—and to laugh) *t
he loses, Just 'as he laughs H he
wins. | ! I I

FREAK BETS AND NATIONAL
SANITY
Freak tgta hardly Beam. compat
ible with, either individual or na
Monal *anity.j
To see a man rolling a peanut
along a .crowdejd thoroughfare,
headed by a band' playing the Dead
March 19 calculated* to give quite
the opposite impression.
By many it is takem as an indi
cation that Darwin, jwas Iright
about humajiUy and the monjoeya |
But *here is anotheij thought
tha*; freak bets encourage in many
minds aoid that is that peop^ are
learning not to take political dif
ftrfrnce^ J too seriously. i
We are getting away from the
pioneer days when political .differ
ences fermented by election con
tests left a residue of bad| ■ blood
an1, feeling which; tinged and talnte
oost-electloj) dealings.
Freak bets ia the i>aying is a
health" sign—the sing of nation
al safety. )
It prores that men can _losa With
a good grace. 1
The Chicago" man who is now en
>faged la ieating a gallon' °£ molas
ses with a tootle pick and the East
Aurora 'resident whose -pleasant
is Kej drink a barrel of jcider,
ufing a -spoxigo as a medium, will
undoubtedly swallow their disap
pointment in' Mr. Hughies defeat
a» the same; time. | i
Let us continue to have these
freak bets jwherein losers .go to
work In the garb ot suffragettes,
walk like bears, >*ark 'like dogs,
sleep 'on tombstones and publicly
ask thft world's pardon too- the
fac* they^ are living.
There is then jlittle danger that
♦■his country will dgvelcji that hy
steria which is the foe of fcood will
an' good 'work.
Pay up. Loot 'pleasant. For
