DAYTON AND THE c. A. R.
Some Red Hot Letters and State
mentS From Old Veterans
At Grafton.

The old soldiers are down on
Dayton and will not be driven into
line by the Bosses. In fact, tho
fight is growing warmer all the
time and getting very bitter now.
Down at Grafton, DIR. Vankirk, a
gold Democrat. was appointed "a
Der of the Pension Board by
Dayton, and elected President. lie
said boldly to "a Methodist minister,
who spoke to him about his pen
sion, "lf l had my way, not u
damned one Of you would get n
damned cent" This was proven
by ahiavits, and Reno Post, G.. A..
r., Of Grafton, tried hard to get a
change made. Tut Dayton and Ell.
klns refused to pay any attention
to them. DIR. Alex Leeds, an old
veteran and Der of the Post.
was sent to Washington rs a special
committee TO protest against Van
kirk, but he was snubbed and lied
to by Elkins and Dayton, who
doiged him and turned him down.
so that he had to come home in
disgust. The Post passed unani.
nous resolutions OF censure and
printed the whole matter and scat.
tered it broad cast among the old
soldiers. This was over a year apo.
but the whole matter is up again
now hotter than ever, and the
Grafton Sentinel and Dayton lead
,ers down there are trying awful
hard to dodge around or lie out of
the whole business in some way.

Lieutenant of Co. "H," 9Th Mary

BRYAN AND BIMErALLISM.


The J%ournalof this place, has
been claiming that the Democrats
had no platform and we're advoca-
ting no principles in this camplign.
1t knows better than thnt. but
truth is so much stranger than
fiction to the Journal and the lat
teI suits It's purpose so much better,
that it prefers % keep on ro-
mancing. Almost every Democratic
convention throughout the length
aud breadth of the land has re-
affirmed the principles Of the
Chicago Convention Of two years
ago and endorsed Bryan for the
Presidency aid everybody knows
what that means aud exactly where
we stand in this campaign. We
published the platform two years
ago as adopted by the Democracy
of the Nation and it was scattered
broadcast and discussed all over
the country, and even if we we're
defeated on the issues of that cam
paign, we are not discouraged but
still standing squarely on that
platform in the firm and abiding
faith of victory in the end, for
truth is mighty and must prevail.
The congressional convention for
this district, adopted the Chicago
platform and Mr.. McGraw is stand
ing firmly upon it and declaring
himself IN no uncertain terms in

Snap Shots With "A GraphOphone.

The Graphophone is to the ear what
the Photographic camera is to the eye,
and more, for the Graphophone catches
instantly and preserves every tint and
shade of sound. A most interesting
use of a Graphophone is to make re-
cords of your friends voices, to be pre-
served for future'use. You can catch
the story of your jolly friend just as he
told 1T, or the favorite song of some
loved one just as she sang it, and have
1t reproduced perfectly at any time and
as often as you please. Besides, the
Graphophone affords wonderful enter
talnment in the way of reproducing
the music of bands, orchestras, or vocal
or instrumental soloists. No invest
ment will return so much in pleasure as
the purchase of Graphopone 1t is
the perfect talking machine. Write

TRY TO FORGET THEM.

1t Is unwise TO brood over our
past sins. We should try to for
get them. To recall them GER
talnly does not develop goodness.
1t rather has the opposite effect.
The thought of them dampens our
ardor, makes us timid and distrust-
full of ourselves. When we have
repented of evil, and asked our
Father to forgive us, we should
dismiss the thought of it, shut it
out, let it have no place in our
minds. Let the dead past bury
it's dead We must be busy with
that which is new and living. By
pure thoughts, noble purposes,
good works, we must crowd evil
out of our lives. God will help
us to forget the wrong we once
did, if we live with Him. We
must work with Him to produce
that blessed oblivion to the past
both by refusing resolutely to
harbor the thought of old sins
and by filling our lives with all
that pleases Him. Blessed is the
man who cultivates the forgetting
of evil.
