THE OLD MAN REPENTS.

AueIo are hopes GuaG the editor OF
the Tribune of this city may yet be.
come good man and stand show
with the rest of US to pass through the
pearly gates. He evidently has a con.
science. There are proofs of it crop
ping out. And by what strange meth
cd of reasoning have we come to this
conclusion? We will tell you:
Last week, in accord with the new
election law, the county commissioners
let the printing of the official ballots
for Barton county. By rights the
printing of the ballots should have
been awarded to the official printer
providing he did the work at reason
able price, but the commissioners saw
fit to let the work to the lowest bidder.
When bids were opened they we're
found to be as follows:
A. j. Hoisington, per thousand, SIS 90
d. T. Armstrong, 60 90
Will E. Stoke, IS 4 90
G. P. Townsley, - 2 90
AS 50 90 per thousand would be about
the cost of the paper (if the ballots al Q
printed occording to law) the bid of
Townsley was accepted.
Wondering why Townsley was anx'
ious to do the work for nothing, we
sought reason. In the Office of the
county clerk we found the bill which
MIR. TowEsley put into the county for
printing 13,O25 ballots last fall was
S435 so. The amount allowed was
$4,000, or at the rate of $3O.O7s a
thousand. Allowing that the ballots
last year were twice as large as this
year. and therefore worth twice as
much to print them, it should, accord
ing to Townships bid, have cost but
$53 90 for the 13, ,025 ballots. Therefore,
Townsley last year perpetrated steal
of just $4,000 from the taxpayers of
the county.
AS we stated to commence with, his
conscience is evidently working on
him. He is growing old and feeble,
and doubtless believes be is not long
for this earth, and wants to make
amends for his ill-doing so far as lies
in his power. Therefore having prac
ticallY robbed the taxpayers of Barton
county of $4,000 at one clip-and the
Lord only knows how much more in
former years when the republicans had
full sway-he now offers to print the
ballots for practically the cost of the
material.
If the old fellow is not repentIng of
his sins, will he please tell us what
ulterior motive he has in now Offering
to print the ballots for what any sane
printer will tell you is half price?

HENRY SCHwIER will make a care.

missioner has given him a thorough
knowledge of the way the county's
finances are handled Being a
sufferer from rheumatiam, he may not
get to see all the voters of the county,
but the DEMOCRAT has no hesitancy
in saying that the county funds will
be as safe in his hands as in the hands

This year the official ballot will be
arranged with the tickets on it in
accordance with the number of votes
cast last fall. Under the new law the
county Eclerk, who has charge of the
printing of the tickets, cannot arrange
the tickets on the ballots so unjustly
as they were arrangedlast year. GThe
party casting thelargest number of
votes at the lastprevious election gets
first place, the second largest second
place, and thethird third place. The
order this year will be: Republicans,
first column; democrats, second col
umn; speople's party, third column;
independent, fourth column, and then
there will bea blank in the fifth
column where voters who do not want
to vote for any man whose name is
printed on the ballot can write the
names of those he intends to vote for.
The ballots this year will be about half
as large as they were last year.

WHEN Benjamin Franklin wrote
GA penny saved is penny earned"
imagine that he did not mean penny
skimped from our daily living or from
our necessities. That is not "a penny
saved" in the best sense; it is penny
stolen from yourself. A penny saved
is penny rescued from waste. An
hour taken from needed sleep is not
an hour saved, but an hour stolen; an
hour taken from idle gossip and
turned to some good aceeunt-that is
an hour saved. And it is the same
with our money and our products.
There is no economy in self. denial. 1t
is the duty of every man and woman
to live the fullest and best life posi-
BILE; to nourish the body and mind
and soul, and to develop them to the
highest possible degree. Thls cannot
be done by "skimping." A fuller,
freer life is what we need. Economy
is necessary, but we must not mistake
what economy ls. We must save the
wastes: stop the leaks, but having
saved, we must put our savings to
some good use, else we are like the
miser with his gold, detriment to
society instead of good.-Farm
News.

AN HONORABLE RECOGNITION OF
LABOR UNIONS.

The action of the American League OF
Municipalities in session at Columbus last
week in endorsing by resolution the efforts OF
organized labor was most commendable,
They demanded that the published report of
the leagues proceedings and addresses bear
the Typographical Union label and that all
official notices and printed matter for the
national body should so far as practicable
bear the Typographical Union label, and be
performed by persons and firms employing
and recognizing union labor"
Whatever may have been back of the move
ment recognizing union labor, or whether there
was any thing further than an honest desire to
encourage workingmcn to organize for the
betterment of their conditions, the work of the
League of Municipalities will go far towards
giving the unions recognition in municipal
work as well as that given out by private indi-
viduals and corporations.
The union workirgman, whatever may be

is encouraged to educate himself on broader
lines and bring to himself and family better

sincerer evidence of the good will the union
men feel towards each other, then
the writer whose son killed
on duty, was cared for as tenderly by the
Brotherhood of Electricians as he would have
been by his own kindred. Their care for each
other while in life and their tender solicitude
in distress gives the union workingman a
tenacious hold on the community at large that
should be encouraged by all justice loving
citizens. The example of the American
League Of Municipalities deserves emulation
