SELECTED POETRY.
Don Z Crowd.

Don't crowd this world Is large enough
For you as well as me;
The doors Of art are open wide,
The realm of thought is free;
or all earth's places, you are RICH
To choose The best you can,
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles Of golden ore,
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from the door,
OF willing hands and honest hearts
Alone should men be proud
Then give him all the room he needs,
And never try to crowd.
Don't crowd, proud miss your dainty silk
VIII gllsten none the less
Because 1t comes in contact with
beggar's tattered dress;
This lovely world was never made
For you and me alone;
pauper has a right to tread
The pathway TO throne.
Don't crowd the good from out your heart
BY fostering all that's bad,
But give to every virtue room
The best that may be had
Be each days record such one
That you may well be proud;
Give each his right, give each his room,
And never try to crowd.
Alice Cary.

CERTAIN gentlemen, notably, Mr..
Claus Spreckels, the California sugar
king, have been expressing more con-
fidence in the rejection of the treaty
for the annexation of Hawaii, to which
they are violently opposed, than there
is anything in sight to justify. But
there is a reason for their confidence,
as will be fully apparent before Con-
gress meets next winter. 1t lies in the
manipulation of big corruption fund
to create public sentiment against
the treaty with the hope that enough
Senators can be influenced to prevent
the necessary two-thirds vote being OBJ
tanned for ratification of the treaty.
And all of this corruption fund will not
come from American sugar men. A
considerable portion of it will come
from the secret fund of European gov
ernments. There are at least two
European nations which are more in
terested in the failure of the treaty than
Japan is. But being smarter than the
Japs, they have not protested and will
not protest against the treaty, but will
try to accomplish its defeat by the use
of money, just as they have before
tried, and sometimes succeeded in in
fuencing the course Of the United
States. 1t is really great pity that
this scheme could not be headed off by
the ratification of the treaty by the
Senate at this session, but it is known
that the opponents of the treaty would
not allow vote to be taken on the
treaty at this session, even if il were
possible to keep quorum of the Sem
ate in Washington for any considerable
time after the tariff bill has been passed

citsdels must needs be stOrmed by the
front, but more victories are won and
more reforms inaugurated by methods
which do not antagonize, and in which
tsctis joined to perseverance moderation.
If damaging frost does not put an
end to the speculation, in the next few
days ]. B. Moore of La Blanche will go
into his fields with a binder and cut
the biggest crop of wheat, oats and
barley he has ever harvested in Sher-
man county. August 10 a hail storm
swept over MOore's possessions and
destroyed every vestige Of promising
wheat crop which was even then in
need of the sickle. In few days the
grain had sprOuted and a new crop was
coming on. It grew finely and now is
nicely headed out and filling nicely.
This a wonderful country and it may
be that Jim will get a harvest after all.
At least TIE REPTBLIC hopes be will.
There is grain of truth in the as
sertiOn humOrOusly put forth by
western paper that styling is expected
in a politician as much as in a circus
man, hunter or 6 fisherman, and no
body pays any more attention to it"
The writer had in view those who are
described by the word politician" in
its depracatOry sense. But in a repub-
lie every man should be a politician,
taking the word in its primary and
best meaning, No one would say in
seriousness that every man should be
untruthful regarding his political acts
and purposes. Even a diplomatist
should not be a liar. One Of the great
est of those said that he made it a rule
always to tell the truth, that, since no
one would believe him, it served the
purposes Of diplomacy better than
silence or evasion. Besides he kept
his conscience clear.

soms Things The yotsr sboald Know
ard Note.
When it comes 70 the election the
voter will note few changes in the
ballot law as applied to him. III the
first place he will get a ticket with his
poll list number on its upper right
baud corner. This be might not notice
at all unless his attention is called
toit.
When he gets into the booth and
unfolds bis ballot on the shelf he will
find it don't hang down so far over the
edge. 1t viii be much smaller. Then
the blank space With its square,undeF
each name. will have disappeared; and
il he wants to write the name Of a
candidate for any Office he will have to
go over the column Of blank spaces at
the right hand side Of the ballot.
The tickets on the ballot, be will, if
he is a close observer, remark are more
plainly separated by a double line
And the square, in which to mark the
the cross that indicates his choice, is
moved over from the left of the column
to the right. This is the greatest
change aud may prove confusing to
some who have got it firmly fixed in
their minds that they must mark on
the left Of the name. But the hand
viii no longer cover the ticket that is
to be voted, and the marking can be
done much more readily and convent
emily.
The arrangement of the tickets on
the ballot will not be hsphszzard, as
before, but the party that cast the
highest vote at the last election will
have the first place, the one casting
the next highest the second place, and
SO on. II there are tickets by petition,
they will come after the party tickets,
the one having the most petitioners
first, and so on. The last ticket will
be the blank, in which the scratcher
will have to write if none Of the can
didates whose names are printed suit
him.
In the townships the voter who has
heretofore found a whole string Of
candidates for road overseer to select
/ from, will now find only blank space
in which to write the name Of some
candidate residing in his own district
| The law expressly forbids the printing
of the names Of candidates for tbi;
Office On the ticket, and makes it G
misdemeanor for any voter to vote FOL
candidate who does not reside in hiI
own district.
In marking the ticket, the voter mus
use black lead pencil II the bsllo
is marked with ink, OF with pencil o
any other color than black, it canno
be counted.

THE FIRST BLIZZARD.
Rain, S1est and Snow Combine to Make
Very Nasty Storm

Rain, S1eet and Snow Combine to Make
Very Nasty Storm.
Monday evening a heavy rain began
falling and continued until Tuesday
morning at o'clock, during which
time two inches of water had fallen.
At 8 o'clock the rain turned to sleet
and in few minutes the sIeet was
snow, and the first blizzard of the sea-
son was raging. A heavy wind from
the north added to the general unpleas-
antness and sent the sodden flakes
whizzing along with great force.
The temperature was not low and no
damage to human life or stock was
done. The Snow was so wet that the
wind could not stir it up after it struck
the ground.
The soil Of Sherman county is soaked
deeper than it has been for years and
the prospect for winter wheat was
never better.

For Commissioner, Don't Fail to Vote

A good many people have been so
accustomed to calling George Wilkins,
the peoples party candidate for COM
missioner, by his nickname, "Bill Nye,"
that some confusion has resulted.
When you get the ballot next Tues
day look down the first column and
you will find the name of George G
Wilkins, otherwise "Bill Nye." He is
the man to vote for and to work for.
The cross mark on the ballot this
year should be made within the square
on the right of the name to be voted
for. a black lead pencil must be used.
If a voter desires to vote for some one
whose name does not appear on the
ballot bis name should be written in
