POLITICS..

One of the greatest hindranCes TO tile
calm and fair study and Advancement of
this practical science, arises from the
insane ambition to secure some public
Office. Almost every man and some
notable women aspire to be nominated
for President or some other public office.
The universal scramble for office is so
intensely hot that the candidates and
their friends appear to lose all their sem
ses except one. These Office seekers
seem to ignore the existence of just
God who rules in the destiny of nations,
and as to the Devil, why he is good
fellow provided lie gets quick possession

date. Politicians neither lie nor steal 2

[Correct you are, my political friend.
But there is sure and speedy remedy
for this state of affairs and this class of
"patrots." When they come around
kissing your babies, drganizing societies,
side-shows, etc, tell them that they
have missed their calling, to go home
and put out crop of potatoes and occu-
py their time in hocing them, that the
only true and honest way to get living
is TO earn the dollar in honest labor aud
not waste so much time in striving to
get the dollar earned by the SWEET of other
brows, and then let all conventions zee
to it that no man is nominated who ha'
wasted his time and means in a canvass
for an office, expecting to make the tax
payer pay principal and compound in
terest for every day and dollar thus vol
unfairly wasted-and then you hav,
the problem fully solved. You can also
at the same time relieve all officials ant
all standing candidates from all prom
ises and tangling alliances to secure thei
own successors in office, secure better
work in official duty, make better citi-
zens of office hunters by driving then
into more honorable callings, secure thu
affection and cooperation of the officials
to the mass Gas was originally designed
instead of to the wire-puller who makes
low trickery and robbery life study
drive newspapers into their Legitimate
channels or into their graves to sleep the
sleep that will know no waking to peo'
Pile who have made up their minds to de-
mand facts instead of lies and deception
TO assist plunderers-in short there are
a hundred reforms that could at once be
accomplished by the people simply max
ing up their minds to nominate no man
who is brought out and groomed and
makes canvass for an office, thus car
rying into full effect and force the true
maxim, that public Office is public
trust" and he that prfits thereby mus,
have record for honesty, integrity and
efficiency, and some knowledge of his
obligations to both God and man that ho
may not commit the objectionable sin
of perjury" in taking a solemn oath OF
office. In pursuing this course the mass
will save to themselves the credit oi
being capable of conducting Republic
by the people for the people, and moi
reap the credit as well as the harvest oi
being governed by cliques and rings and
thieves in the interests of cliques anC
rings and thieves and liars. In pursuing
this course you can save the expense o.
supporting hord of political claquers il
every community who are always KEEP
on tap for emergencies and must be pro
vided for at whatever cost to the people
and who, when thus unemployed, vii
seek more honorable avocations-ant
thus you can save more souls from pur-
gatory than all others combined are
saving. All in all its the biggest anC
most profitable investment open to th,
American people at this time. and, il
fully accepted and approved in WOOD
county, taken in connection with oul
great discoveries in nuatural gas and oi
and rich agricultural and fertile politica
resources it will prove the most desirabl,
territory in which to invest filthy lucr,
in securing comfortable home and I
competency in this entire vale of tears
