It is seldom that a mnn's duty to
himself Is a compelling factor In his
life. There must be someone outside
himself, whom he loves and for whom
ho will sacrifice and suffer nnd toll.
It Is tho life which touches ours,
perhaps unconsciously but no less
certainly, that makes us fight for
success.
We don't find any newspaper say
ing much about the character, abil
ity or past performances of George
W. Klpp, who Is a candidate for
Congressman in this district. George
is a money-maker and a good spend
er, and if you read between tho
lines printed in the papers that sup
port him you can get an idea of
where he is spending some of his
money.
The woods are very inviting these
days, but the warm weather is rapid
ly drying the dead leaves and other
inflammable matter so that it would
be easy for a fire to spread. Groat
care should be exercised by camping
parties and smokers. The state for
est commission is sending out warn
ings for the prevention of fires and
suggestions for preventing a small
blaze from spreading.
The Ohio State Journal laments
tho passing of tho bicycle. From all
we can understand, the funeral dirge
is rather premature. Statistics show
that there are more bicycles manu
factured and sold in this country to
day than there were during the
height of the craze 15 years ago. The
wheel was a fad for the rich then.
It is a convenience for the poor now
and there are more of us.
Paste this in your hat: The aver
age wages of the ordinary laborer
in the United States is ?1.GG per
day, as against 80 cents per day in
Great Britain. The average dally
wage for bricklayers, stone masons,
stone cutters, carpenters, painters,
plumbers and machinists in the
United States is 3.14 as against
fl.GO in Great Britain. Tho United
States has a Protective tariff. Great
Britain has a tariff for revenue only.
It is now being clamorously urged
that the United States adopt Great
Britain's tariff policy.
Inventor Edison's remarks on Im
mortality and the soul which were
published in ono of New York's Sun
day newspapers, go to show that if
wo apply ourselves exclusively to
and become absorbed in materialistic
research, that the facilities by which
wo understand things that aro spiri
tual, undergo a kind of atrophy by
which their functions are destroyed.
Darwin admitted before ho died that
music or poetry had ceased to ap
peal to him. Ho preferred earth
worms to Beethoven and Shakes
peare. Because Sir. Edison did not
find tho soul In his labratory or Is
unable to find any trace of same in
his Inner consciousness, should not
weaken tho faith of those who
KNOW.
WHEN THE DEMOCRATS HAD A
CHANCE.
Not so very many years ago tho
Democratic party had a chance; had
a chance to thump all tho bad laws
that wore upon the statute books;
had a chanco to hit tho trusts a sol
nr ploxus; had a chanco to reduce
salaries that were too llgh; had a
chance to pass laws to regulate or
suppross tho trusts; had a chance
to mako all political plaeoa straight
nnd rough plncou smooth; had a
chanco to enact all reforms needed.
In fact thoy had a chanco to produce
such a flood of prosperity and good
times and bring so much content-
niont and happluesa to tho peoplo
that no other party would over stand
any allow any moro. Thoy had a
chanco to provo Democracy to bo
tho only nnd original IT.

With n House and a Scnato and a
President, all of one party nnd nil

and undented essence of Jefferson
ism, they went to work nnd straight
way busted the country. They re
pealed laws that wore keeping times
good nnd added a law upon us thnt
reduced our revenues to a bond
selling basis. They fritted away tho
golden moments quarrelling among
themsolves about questions thnt time
proved they knew nothing about.
They split up Into warring factions
nnd turned their backs upon their
own chief nnd called him a Republi
can for no other reason in tho world
than thnt their plnns had all failed
to make good and they saw they had
to plnce tho blame on somebody. So
tho only way out was to cuss Cleve
land. Cuss tho only man in tho par
ty that had political wisdom enough
to foresee a way out of tho difficulty
the party had gotten Itself Into.
And this is Democracy. This is the
history of the party that wants to
try it onco again. Wants to get
to the bat and make another strike.
Yes, a strike that put labor on the
bum. A strike that brings want and
suffering and privation to curso n
people that should otherwise be
contented and prosperous.
And ns you listen to tho Democra
tic cnndldato as he froths and fumes
in this good year of grace, telling
the farmers of the bad laws that he
seems to imagine that the Republi
cans have Inflicted upon tho people;
as he roars against trusts, and tariff
and monopolies and so forth and so
on, just ask yourself what did his
party ever do when it was in abso
lute power to regulate any of these
so-called evils. Ask yourself what
sort of times hit this country when
his party was at the wheel. And as
you ask yourself these questions try
to imagine just what sort of times
we did have along in those years
when Grover was trying to keep
the Detns in check. And if you are
true to yourself, to your wife and
babies, your God and your country
there is not much danger of your
deciding that you want to entrust
your affairs in the hands of tho
Democratic party the next go round.

"Equal rights to all, and special

gospel but It is blame poorly prac
ticed. S
We have a mighty poor opinion of
tho man whose tombstone Is the only
thing that speaks well of him after

Tho editor wrote "hobble-skirt,"
the printer mado It read "horrlblo

that way.
More business and less politics

Every time the clock ticks you are

Listen at this from Joe Bailey:
"The Democratic party has served
the Republic more worthily and more
effectually iu defeat than tho Repub
licans have served it in victory."
That being the case, what in
thunder do they want to get in for?
The foundation of a Republic Is
that tho people rule. And this ap
plies to town, county, state and na
tion. Now, Brother, If your party
don't stand for local self-government
then you aro not for a Republic,
Home rule la what Jackson of Tyler

The capstone and foundation of

KEEP IT OUT OK PAPER!
Nobody but a newspaper man vHio
has actively played tho gamo can
rcallzo how many times tho editor
hears tho request, "Plcaso keep tills
out of tho paper."
It may como from a young fellow
who has been "out for n good tlmo
nnd wound up by getting in a light;
it may como from a mother whoso
sou has committed sulcldo; it may
como from a party of young peoplo
who havo been to a danco and who
aro ashamed to let peoplo know that
they wore there; It may como from
a wlfo whoso husband hns dofaulted;
it may como from tho parents of a
young girl who lias run away.
Any one of tho thousand unceasing
comedies or tragedies of life may
servo us a causo for tho request, but
bo It gravo or gay, tho editor must
listen to It many times during tho
course of a year.
And gonorally the editor must do-
clino, and almost as certainly ns ho
does ho la misunderstood. He is con
sidered n hcartloss bruto, hardened
to the world and devoid of principles
of common Humanity.
Such is not tho case. Tho editor
has as finely strung sonsibilltles as
most men. Ho feols a sympathy for
tho mothor of tho young mnn who
takes Ills Ilfo, or whose daughter una
gone astray. Tho editor feols sorry,
but he can't help It. Ho Is not re
sponsible for tho scheme of exist
ence which decrceti thnt such things
shall he printed In the newspaper.
Ho knows thnt so long as thoro Is a
world horo with peoplo In It there
will lie such things, nnd thnt so long
as there nro newspapers such things
will bo published.
In a small community news Is
scarce nt best nnd should the editor
plcnso evoryono who wanted news In
regard to themselves "kept out of the
paper," tho paper Itself wouldn't
amount to much and soon there
wouldn't ho a paper. Everybody
wants nil tho news about everybody
else except themselves. If tho paper
contains anything nbout thoniBOlves,
or their friends, which thoy think
ought not to bo published, they Im
mediately assume a grouch whenover
they encounter tho editor, nnd It
genernlly tnkes them several Weeks
to get over It.
Thoy lose sight of tho fact that
tho paper never publishes a criticism
unless It Is deserved; that It always
shows the greatest respect for the
person who Is honest nnd lends a
good, clean, moral llfo and treats his
fellowraen In a righteous way.
Thoy forget thnt a good newspa
per will keep the morals of a town
cleaner than any other ngency In
existence, beennso tho hoodlum, tho
crook nnd tho degenerate fear the
publicity which It gives them.
So, therefore, tho next tlmo that
something happens which concerns
you, don't come to the editor nnd
say, "Please keep this out of the
paper." Ex.
PARABLE OK THE TOBACCO SEED
Then shall the kingdom of Satan
bo likened unto a grain of tabacco
seed, which, though exceedingly
small, being cast Into the ground,
grew and became a great plant, and
spread its leaves rank and broad,
so that vile worms formed a hablta
tion thereon.
And It camo to pass in tho course
of time that the sons of men looked
upon it and thought it beautiful. To
make them look big and manly, the
lads put forth their hands and did
chew thereof; and some It made sick,
and others to vomit most filthily.
And It further came to pass that
they who chewed It became weak
and unmanly, and said: "We aro
enslaved and can't cease chewing it."
And the mouths of all, who were en
slaved became fowl, and thoy were
seized with a violent spitting, and
did spit even in the ladies' parlors
and in-the house of the Lord of hosts
and the saints of the Most High were
greatly plagued thereby.
And In the course of time it came
also to pass that others snuffed, it,
and they were taken suddenly with
fits, and they did sneeze with great
and mighty sneezes, Insomuch that
their eyes filled with tears, and they
did look exceedingly silly. And yet
others cunningly wrought the leaves
thereof Into rolls, nnd did set fire to
the end thereof, nnd did look very
gave and calf-like, sucking It, and
the smoke of their torment nscend
ed up forever nnd ever.
, And the cultivation thereof beenmo
a great and mighty business in the
earth, and tho merchantmen waxed
rich by the commerce theeof. And
it came to pass that tho saints of
the Most High defiled themselves.
And oven the poor, who could not
buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for
their little ones, spent their money
for it, and tho Lord was greatly dis
pleased therewith and said, "Where
fore this waste; and why do these
little ones lack bread and shoes and
books? Turn your nttention to
change tills wicked evil which has
grown up in your midst In a gospel
land. Turn now your fields into corn
and wheat, and defile not yourselves
iny more, nnd God will bless you
nnd cnuso the smile of his counten
ance to shine on you." But with one
accord they' all exclaimed. "We can
not cease from chewing and snuffing
and pulling. We are slaves to tho
evil plague."

A DKMAtaxJE IN ACTION.
From tho Philadelphia Star.
Tho citizen who forms his opinion
In politics deliberately and with re
gard to tho facta has been hamper
ed somewhat In the present campaign
by nbuso nnd misrepresentation from
the third party candidate for gover
nor. The tempestuous Mr. Berry
hns endeavored to confound the vot
er with a view to forcing him to
hnso his Judgment not upon tho Is
sues nor upon the rolntlve merits of
the candidates, but upon sensation
al charges and other specious and
deceitful arts employed by the of
fice-hungry demagogue.
Berry's campaign is an insult to
every self-respecting Republican In
this state. By skillfully made
charges, Insinuations, innuendoes
and reckless falsification he hopes
to deceive the people and secure an
olllce. Instead of meeting tho voters
with honest discussion of tho Is
sues ho appears as the apostle of
abuse and Invective. Throughout
tho campaign his methods have been
those of the demagogue. After tho
most reckless statements ho will
shrewdly admit, "Now, I am not
prepared to furnish evidence that
would stand In any court of Justice."
Repeatedly Mr. Berry has said:
"John K. Tenor was nominated at
the dictation of the liquor inter
ests." This statement does not contain a
syllable that Is true. John K. Tener
was nominated by a convention of
delegates representing the great Re
publican hosts of this common
wealth. These delegates did not net
at the dictation of the liquor men
nor of anybody else. Thoy nominat
ed Mr. Tener because they knew him
to bo able and honest and because
they considered him the most avail
able candidate for the office of Gov
ernor. He was nominated without
a dissenting vote and the liquor in
terests had absolutely nothing to do
with tho convention's action.
The alleged protection of vice In
Philadelphia Is another favorite
theme of the office-hungry candidate
His charges are vague. Ho merely
repeats the scandalous statements of
others and smaller ofllce-hungry
candidates who have endeavored to
do in Philadelphia what Mr. Berry
is now attempting to do in the state.
But, even if Mr. Berry's charges
possessed an element of truth, tho
fnct would remain that John K.
Tener is not a candidate for tho of
flee of Mayor of Philadelphia, but a
candidate for Governor of Pennsyl
vania.
