Although the wind blew very strong yes

does not take marksman very long to
''get on" to the wind. All he wants is a
steady blow. The only thing that "rattles'
him is the fishtaii gales that so often pre-
vail at the ranges near the bag. When a
strong gale is blowing and the powder
smoke is driven from the range. the good
marksman is not afraid of his score. but
when the wind comes in puffs he cannot
rely upon the shot.
1t is a weli-kn0wn habit among our marks.

gun is discharge the man at the butts will

should have pierced. If he Is shooting on
the Blunt target he will call out "a bull" a

where he believes his shot ought TO be- on

man call his shot goes long way in making
the men proficient at target practice.

shots in eleven strings. His lowest record
in any one of them was &C. and yet he was

In addition to the members of the Ma

Mr.. Lods scored 153 rings and Mr.. Kerr l42

al had best stand ON the banks OF

DE- GraCV

A rock OF etcrnal strength, rock
of granite tirmness and integrity.
A principle of human existance, a
quality of human purpose. At the
base of this rock, liberty has often
taken refuge and here human rights
have been defended. Behind this
fortress, Divinely ordained and
fashioned, the forces of progress
have rallied and broad minded and
oad-purposed civilization has ad-
vanced. Whenever stand for lib
erty has been taken, by whatever
people and in whatever cline, the
sun of democracy has brightly
shone upon patriots whose example
has cheered other hosts, in other
lands.
Democracy resisted kIngly op-
preston and made the American
colonies republic. The spirit of
democracy of the Eighteenth cen
tury made the Nineteenth century
of Democratic independence, of in
dividual thought. and engrafted IN
dividual rights upon the written and
unwritten constitutions of the ma
tions of former autocracy. Not an
empire, kingdom or prlncipality,
that has not modified its authority
over subjects the past fifty years.
1t is democracy working steadily
upon mind and matter. The spirit
of the American torefathers is upon
this country and is impressed with
influence and power upon that pol
ltical party called Democrat. The
patriotism of Jefferson is profound
ly impressed upon the party he
founded, and the unwavering be-
lief in the people which was char
acteristic of Jackson is a cardinal
virtue of the party of Jefferson and
Jackson. He who has his political
faith pinned to the principals of
democracy is strong IN self, and is
living link in the chain of liberty
which binds the past with the pre-
sent and which makes the future of
the country hopeful and promising,
The landmarks of this party are
an heirloom to pass from generation
to generation in perpetuity. The
fundamental principle is the abso-
lutte belief in self government. One
man, if he be morally, is as good as
another IN the political home where
democracy has being-in the party
where democracy is perennial. The
right of individual sovereignty is a
gift from Divinity to man, and IN
