Overthrow Bossism.

WE are supporting the feopie
ticket from principle, not as a mere
party measure. The ARGUS is a
Democratic psper,-Democratio to
the core. It wants Cleveland and
Hendricks elected. 1t wants E.
Willis Wilson for our next Governor.
and earnestly desires the success Of
the whole Democratic State ticket,
It has worked and shall from this
on, work for the accomplishment Of
that result. Let no man be deceived
as to the politics of this paper on
these questions, as indeed no man
can be from its past career.
But my Republican reader of
Preston county, don't be deceived in.
to voting against the Peoples ticket
because the ARGUS is supporting
that ticket. Look at the complex
ion OF that ticket. The candidates
are composed of all parties. Their
previous party record is wall known
to the ARGUS ss well as to you.
There are Republicans of perhaps an
extreme type on that ticket. So
may there be Democrats. The AR
Gus ia not supporting them as such,
and don't ask you to do so. It is
matter of business. It is a matter
Of conscience. 1t is a matter OF hon.
ssty. II the Ring does not suit you,
and the Peoples ticket does, vote
the Peoples ticket. Don't let the
Ring or its organ persuade you to
vote against the Peoples ticket, be-
cause Democratic paper is support
ing 1t. 1t makes no difference to
you who else is supporting it, if it is
good enough for you, support it.
You don't like our politics. In this
election we don't ask you to endorse
a SINGLE principle that you dislike.
We dislike the Ring and the Boss
rule and we believe you do. Let US
join hands and overthrow both. We
can do it. Let us put the afairs of
the People into the hands Of the
People. To do this we must all vote
the Peoples ticket.

Not His Fault.

A County Treasurer in New Hamp-
shire was forced to acknowledge the
other day that the county strong box
was not only empty, but that his books
wouldn't balance within $4,000. There
was a rumpus and an investigation, but
the Treasurer carried serene expression
and was ready to answer all questions.
1T really isn't my fault" he pro-
ceeded to explain. you know we want
a new bridge over Lickskillit Creek? L
hoped to build it without calling on the
taxpayers. That $4,000 went to buy
wheat, and | calculated on a profit of at
least IS, 200 in one deal"
"And you lost alp"
every dollar. Wheat went right down
on me-"
"You might have known itn' shrieked
one of his bondsmen.
How? Do | control the wheat mar
ket? I'm sorry, gentlemen, real sorry,
but have the consolation of knowing
that while my two bondsmen lose
$4,000, the toiling masses will have the
benefit of the decline in wheat. - Wall

THESE ARE YOUR BROTHERS"


A Plea for Tender Treatment of the
Beautiful Feathered SOngsters.
A well-known Frenchman of letters
wrote book, nearly thirty years ago,
with the express object to reveal the
bird soul, to show that it is person, "
in the hope of diminishing the enormous
slaughter for purposes of personal
adornment, of ministering to our appe-
tites, adding to our collections, or worst
Of all, gratifying our love of murder,
pure and simple, by whatever name we
choose to dignity the taking of life for
our own amusement. To this noble
mans effort every lover of birds, for
higher uses than to put in the stomach
or on the shelf, should add his chroni-
Gle, however unpretending.
1t is mystery how men of hearts
tender to suffering can be so carried
away by the excitement of the hunt "a
to lose sight of the terror and pain q
the victim. Many hunters have con-
fessed to a return to their better selves
the moment the chase was won. In
what does this short madness differ from
the sudden rage which impels one to
lift his hand against the life of man,
merely a Should be) nobler gameP 1t
seems even more strange that a gentle
woman can endure the beautiful plum
age of delicate winged creature, whose
sweet life of song and JOY was rudely
cut short by brutal men that the poor
dead body might shine among her laces.
For those who are willing to crafty
their palate at the cost of so much
beauty and music there is nothing to be
said-they can not be reached. Not
until man has outgrOwn the barbarism
OF nourishing his body at the expense of
his soul can we hope to touch those who
eat birds. 1t is sad enough to turn our
murderous weapons against the gentle
OK that trusts us, the innocent-faced
sheep and the honest-eyed calf, but to
rob the world of inspiring robin or
rollicking bobolink, for the small bits
OF flesh under their feathers, is too pitt
full.
open your eyes to the evidence"
(says Miehelet.) Throw aside your
prejudice, your traditional and derived
opinions. Dismiss your pride and ac-
knowledgea kindred in which there is
nothing to make one ashamed. What
are these? They are your brothers ~
