DIDArIG cAusETngwARorIsis,

Mayor. A. w. Clancy want to
tell YOU story. It's not the FIRST
time I'm going TO tell it, Tor | told
1t at a political meeting not long
ago. Aud it is not original with
me. read It in newspaper and
the first man who ever told il was
Governor Corwin, OF OHIO. The
language is not even mine, but is
supposed to be that OF MIR. Corwin
himself, and my excuse for telling
1t is, that the lesson it teaches is
applicable IN Iowa politics
"ln the spring OF 1871, at the
annual election i'm Rhode Island. i'm
one OF the towns or precincts the
voting between the Fcderals or Re-
publican parties had been for years
very close, not more than majori-
ty OF one or two votes. The polls
closed at g o'clock and Federal
farmer, living mile or so distant
irom the voting place, having been
busy all day, allowed himself lust
barely time to reach the polls in
IN the evening. He hurriedly
crossed his fields on foot, and reach
ing his last on division fence
found one of his valuable pigs fast
between the planks and stopped to
get it out, which he found more
difficult than he expected, but he
worked with all his strength to pun
his pig out, and failing in that tried
to pry n plank from tho fence,
which, after some time, lie succeed
ed in doing, and then started on a
run for the voting place. Just as
nc got within one hundred feet Of
1t the town clock struck 6 and the
polls closed without his vote. The
result was that n Democrat or war
representative from that town was
elected by one vote. When tho
General Assembly met few weeks
aftcrward u Democrat or war Uni.
ted States Senator was chosen on
joint ballot by one majority. In
1912 the declaration of war with
England was carried in the United
States Senate by one vote. Ger.
jackson was nominated us major.
general and confirmed by one vote
January 8, 1915. He commanded
the army at the battle of New Or
leans, gained victory, became n
popular military hero, and 40 his
reward was elected and reelected
President Of the United States,
turned all the Wings out of Office,
removed the deposits, vetoed the
National bank bill, and played the
devil generally, and all because u
-- pig away up in Rhode Island
got fast in plank fence"

LEND YOUR PAPER.

BE kind TO your neighbor and
lend him your paper to read if ne
does not take it, and don't humii-
ate him by compelling him to ask
for it, but lay it out where he can
find it when he comes in next morn
ing after publication day. Don't
be 50 uncharitable as to hide it be-
cause be does not take it.. Perhaps
he has conscientious scruples against
paying for paper he can got for
nothing. Perhaps he is mad at the
editor for saying too little or too
much about him, or the mean thing
may have shown his ingratitudo by
asking for long unpaid subscrip-
tions in which case the paper don't
amount TO anything and no won't
have the dirty thing iu tho house.
But he wants TO read it all the more
on that account, just to SEQ "what
the fool has TO say" lie has q
right to think it not good enough
to take any pay for SO humor the
fellow and give him your paper to
read. You may get your 'back
mp" at the editor some time and
want the compliment returned. -
