BUXTON. N. D., April le.-My Dear
Readers: Both Of my parents were
Democrats long before they ever got
acquainted, or knew they were going 20
be parents.
They were Democrats when they took
the preliminary steps to become single
soul. They were Democrats when their
hearts first beat as one.
They not only remained such till
death parted them, but until they both
departed.
This would not only make me nat
ural born Democrat, but thorough
bred, standard bred. But, not being
satisfied with natural Endorsements anu
this pedigree. l have taken some paius
70 look into Democratic principles on
my own account. so it could not be said
was one lust because dad was"
And. after looking through my own
eyes. long after dads were gone to look
through. became SO thoroughly con-
WINGED of the justice and virtue OF DEM
ocratic principles, that have hopefully
and enthusiastically stood before rack
without any fodder iii it over thirty full
grown years. $50. ,.4-,
So great was my faith that believed
fodder could be raised from seed that
had lai II buried thirty years without
sprouting. My faith that it would spr0ut
was well founded, and has not been
disappointed. But now the seed is up
the fruit is so different from anything
looked for the oldest Democrats are
puzzled. But Republicans feigning to
believe the Democrats are wholly re-
sponsible for the present streaked and
weedy condition of the country, SO
about every day some one will
take delight in turning to me
and saying. swell, Budd, how is
this? You ought to know. You
are Democrat. viii you please ex-
plain the benefits and advantages to us
of Democratic administration? Is
this the glory and good times promised?
The people asked for change and they
have it. What are you going to get out
of it?''
Then they turn away with a sly
wink in one eye, or both, or derisive
smile. or sarcastic leer, just as though
they had stuck fellow.
A full chapter Will be written on true
Democracy little later on, as dad
taught it to me, and as 1 have figured it
out for myself.
1t is true, there is much to fill one
with disgust and contempt with the
present condition. At the same time
great waves CT sympathy, respect and
charity roll over me for the old Democ-
racy-for Democratic principles, pure
and simple, high and noble.
Everything has been delayed, torn
upside down. and the country distracted
by an issue that never inflicted any
party before-that of weaving an in
FAINT. WEAVING an infant is not always
a pleasant or easy job. And may
the nations of the earth and
ever having second child to wean like
the Republican protection infant. 1t
has not only worn out its parents, but
keeps everybody walking the floor
night and day. 1t is particularly try
ing. crying, lusty, kicking brat. Audit
is enough to make the best Democratic
preacher swear TO see lot OF old gram
MES In the senate trying to act as wet
nurses to quiet it down instead of
hlorofor ming the thirg.
All infants make more or less fuss
about being wcaned. But Jerusalem!
this protection infant beats all others
combined.
Like the infant calf. it seems to think
all it was born TOR is TO hold on to teat.
1t never thinks about how the COW is to
feed her. have helped to wean infant
calves. but may fate spare me from ever
helping wean another protection infant.
You can lock an infant calf up into one
corner OF rail pen, get astride of its
neck. put your largest and latest finger
in its mouth for an artificial extension
OF an udder; thus fixed, you sit down on
top OF Its head. force its nose into a pail
OF milk, and the work of weaving this
infant has commenced. Yon hold
your seat as firmly as possible,
the infant twists and turns and rolls up
Its eyes. You can hold its nose in the
milk till 1t can't breath any longer.
Then 1t gives lunge. and if you don't
land on your head you will be thor
oughly convinced that the infant knows
the difference between a teat with
tinger-nails on and one without-with
milk on the inside of il instead of the
out. When arguing to convince you of
this the infant calf gesticulates wildly
with its tail, and besmears you from
head to foot, and tramps on your toes.
But if you had all the infant calves,
pigs. puppies. colts and cats in your
hand at once trying to wean them, it
would be nothing compared to this Re
publican protection infant. 1t has been
kicking and squalling for years in an
ticipation Of being weaned. and now
that the job has actually commenced, it
is smashing everything in the country.
1t has driven the old man down into
