WHAT IS "MY" DUTY !?

This is question that we hope every voter
Within the boundary lines of Kenosha Coun-
ty will feel incumbent upon him to consider.
The election of judge to administer the re-
sponslble duties of probate court is a mat
ter that no voter can afford to pass careless
~ by. Important as such an Office is, having
the power that such an officer has, he is de-
serving of severe censure who permits ON
election to go unnoticed or uncared tor.
has the reader a reasonable appreciation of
the position itself, what then is his idea Of
the man who should occupy that position {?
should he be ''good fellow" without good
ness partisan withcat principle :;
"Smart" without integrity; witty without
Judgement? Is it the crotchety man, he of
caprieious opinions, who is fitted for such an
Office Your reason tells you "No,'' ana
your conscience approves. If you were going
to project the governmental scheme of q
world, would you not exclude this class of
beings from your plan? Would you not
count them out ? Would not these, who by
some means get into prominence, take
back seat? What. in view of this, is the fact
in the case? Are you not moulding the
political structure now Is it not your duty
to leaUe 1t in a better condition than goa found
it? Let the progress of public reform pre-
vail in Kenosha County. In every voter
there is the means by which this can be ac-
comptished. His vote should be the period
to an honest search for the right. His vote
should receive the approval of his conscience
His vote should put into office the mar who
is adapted for, and will give character to the
position. We want men who can oring in.
tegrity and character to these pablic offices,
and will not have men who depend upon
office for character.
We trust that the action of the Republican
Convention on next Thursday will be such
as to call forth the approval of all right
minded citizens. Aiter that, let every man
do his duty.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE UNION.
A YEARS WORK IN KENosHA

It is now about thirteen months since thu
Catholics OF this city, after @ little private
canvassing, organized themselves on the
side of temperance and proclaimed 10 the
world their determination to drive from theil
doors the peace destroying and l-blightine
demon of intemperance. Simultaneous with
this local movement, other societies were
springing up on every hillside and in every
valley Of the country. From ocean to ocean,
from the lakes to the gulf, was heard com.

The society in this city is branch of the To-

Of Father Dougherty, who has had the
great burden to bear in bringing about the
present condition of things, we would speak
in terms Of high praise. His part in this
years work has been performed with geat
efficiency, not with any show of self, but in
the spirit of an Earnest reformer, Naturally
shrinking as he does from the public
gaze, he yields silent and powerful inAu
ence among those with whom he laborS. He
has, as it were, created new men in our midst.
and the blessing of the Father of all has been
upon his lsbOrs. What a transcendant work
is this The uplifting Of man from the
coils of low ambition, and fixing his aspira-
tions and his energies upon the work of self
pNrifcations How it br,ghtCns the m an,

A natural outgrowth of the Society is
mutual benevolent scheme, which is de-
signed to relieve the sick. The initiation fee
is 81, and monthly payment of % cents is
required. When q member Of the benevo-
lent society is confined by sickness he is
looked after and weekly appropriation of
50 made to him until his recovery.
The results that have followed this Catho-
lie temperance movement are most cheering
To-day there is only one son of Erin sClinp

Look at the bright side. 1t don't pay to
go through life with tear in your eye and a
sigh upon your lips, IF your friend has a
fault DON'T dwell SO long on it as to forget
his virtues. 1t is folly to look for perfection
in everything. Don't you do it Accept the
best you can get, and lie thankful for it.
