DEMOCRATS LOVE CLEVELAND
Because Be slapped the Pensioners in
the Face"

Harrity knows and the Democratic
committee knows that Cleveland vetoed
more pensions for the beggars than all
the other presidents from the days OF
the great Lincoln.
The record was written clear. he
slapped the grave robbers In the face
whenever he got chance, and the signs
of the times indicate that he will slap
EN- all again when they show up their
hands to loot the treasury.
Cleveland is the man for the south
and the north is no good except where
1t is Democratic.
Western states are going for the Pop
ulists, the south is going solid for Cleve-
land, and Harrison is not to be in 1t.
Cleveland is the man. He is the fell
low who refused TO come and shoot
Yankee lead into the southern soldiers.
He had too much sympathy for the
homes and the people of the south. He
merely hired a cheap substitute, and
saved himself for the duties which will
devolve upon him In the ides Of March,
and which did devolve upon him in the
year of 1SSI.-Durham Globe, Oct. Is.

We cannot comprehend how any west
tern or southern man especially can IA
vor the issue of state currency. 1t could
not be made a legal tender, as this Is
expressly prohibited by the constitution
of the United States. This policy would
discriminate against the west and south,
and in favor Of the great banks In New
York and the eastern money centers..
The currency C. these great money CEN
ters would circulate everywhere at par.
This proposition is clear and needs no
argument Western bank notes would
be thrown out by the eastern banker,
discounted and sent home. The west
would be impoverished and pay contin7
ual tribute to the east In its exchanges.
This would be necessarily the result and
pot the fault Of the east, but brought

more and more enrich the great money

Burton and the Farmers.

Sometimes you hear the remark by
some individual that Hon. j. Il, Bur-
toms interests are not those Of the
farmer in this district. Not stopping
to note that neither the banker Cooke
nor the stump speaker Davis have any
particularly close aflliation with the
farming class, 1t may be noted that
Mr.. Burton is more closely interested
In the success of farming in the West
than any man in the district. Nearly
every dollar he owns is invested In
farming projects. tie is one Of the
leading owners OF vast farm in East
ern Colorado on which 10000 bushels
OF wheat were raised this year and
where 100, 900 bushels will be raised
NEXT year. Are any Fifth district
people farming on a larger scaleY Mr..
Burton in addition to this large in
vestment in farm lands owns n hand
some farm just east of Abilene which
he looks after personally, being thus
directly interested in Dickinson county
farming.
The fact is that Mr.. Burton proves
belief In the Vests future by his acts.
His investments are in land, mostly
farm laod, and irrigation has no more
earnest supporter than he. In the
halls of Congress he will advocate the
farmers cause because it is his own.
lie will make Congressman who will
stand up for his district and accom-
plish something. Vote for Burton.

Good Words for Boys.

Be gentle, boys. 1t is high praise to
have II said of you, ''He is as gentle as
woman to his mother" 1t is out of
fashion to think IL you ignore mother
and make little sister cry whenever
she comes near you, that people will
think you belong to the upper stratum
of society. Remember that as rule,
gentle boys make gentle men gentle
men).
BE manly, boys. A frank straight
forward manner always gains friends
II You have committed a fault. step for
ward and confess it. Concealed faults
are always found out sooner or later
Never do anything which afterward
may cause blush of shame to come to
your face.
BE courteous, boys. 1t is Just as easy
to acquire n genteel, courteous manner
as an ungracious, don't-care style, and
II will help you materially if you have
to make your own way through life.
Other things being equal, the boy who
knows the use of II beg your pardon, ="
and IL thank you" will be chosen for Il
position, three to one, in preference to
a boy to whom such sentences are
strangers
Be prompt, boys 1t is far better to
be ahead of time than behind. Bust
ness men do not like tardiness. They
realize that time is valuable. Five
minutes every morning amounts tohalf
an hour at the end of the week. Many
things can be done in half an hour
Besidse, disastrous results often follow
lack of punctunlity.
Be thorough, boys Black the heels
as well as the toes of your shoes, and
be sure that both shine. Pull out the
roots of the weeds in the flower beds
Don't break them off and leave them to
spring up again when the first shower
comes. Understand your lesson. Don't
