There was more than the usual
number of tramps in town last
week and they were especially i'm
Fortunate. Considering the de-
mand for labor all over the coun-
try, as claimed by the Republican
sheets, it is strange that there
should be SO many able bodied
men marching around over the
country. The truth is, these men
or the most of them, arc hunting
work, and would gladly perform
any labor, if they could obtain it
but they cannot, Notwithstanding
the Republican newspapers claim
that work is plenty. Where could
a man get job of work in this
town, or in all of Mason county ?
Please answer you prosperity

Where Is The Greatest Strength2
For the Daily Register.l


Where Is The Greatest strength2
[For the Daily Register.l
Some will say, "do not kings ex-
oeed in strengthP" They are men
who govern all things; they force
the earth and sea to become profit
able to them, and over them they
have authority. When kings COM
mand theirsubjects to make war and
undergo dangers. they harken
to it. Kings command men to
level mountains, and pull down
walls and towers, or command to be
killed or to kill, they submit to,
and whatsoever the king commands,
it is done of necessity, while the
king is satiated with food and
pleasure and sleeps in quiet. How
can it be otherwise than that the
king exceeds in strength, while SO
great a multitude obeys his in
functions?
Another may say, that "wine ex-
ceeds every thing else in strength"
It decieves the mind of those who
drink it, and reduces that of a king
to that of pauper, and elevates
that of a slave to the boldness of
him that is free, and that Of the
needy to that of the rich man; it
quenches the sorrows ofsthose that
are under calamities,J and makes
men forget the debts they. owe to
others and makes them thinksof all
men, themselves are the richest,
1t takes away the remembrance of
their friends, and arms them against
those that are dearest to them.
These are some of the evidences of
the great power of wine.
Kings and wine are mighty in
strength; yet women are superior
to them in power.
1t is said "the hand that rocks
the cradle rules the world" For
it was woman that brought the
king into the world, and also those
that plant the vine and make the
wine; it was a woman who reared
them. Women often have unsought
for power over persons of rank and
intellectual ability, and gold and
silver or anything of great value is
offered them. AT the sight of q
beautiful woman, eyes are fixed up
on her and victims are willing to
forsake all things that they may en-
Joy her beauty and procure it for
themselves.
There was once great king, who
was lord over tens of thousands of
people. Smitten by the beautiful
face of Apame, the daughter of
Rabsases, she took his royal diadem
from h s head and placed it upon
her own fair brow, while he bore it
patiently. When she smiled he
smiled; when she was angry he was
sad -l.s,-- i
Great is tho power of kings,
wine and women; yet all of these
arc weak and mortal, and will fade
and crumble to dust, from which
they came, but truth and righteous
ness will last through all eternity
Though the earth be large, the
heavens high, the course of the sun
swift, yet all these move at the will
of God, who is truth and righteous
ness, for which cause we esteem
truth, the strength of oil things,
its power exceeds all else and, dis
tinguishes from injustices and puts
falsehood and sin to rebuke.
Blessed be the God of truth. p

The history of the past has proven
that when the Democratic party was
led by mon of real greatness, men
who conceived great thoughts and
dared proclaim them, it was an in
vincible power in the land. The
great leaders of the party never con-
cealed principle for the sake of
expediency or on the plea that the
people could not understand. The
party never lost ground until it be-
gan to listen to weaklings and hypo-
critics, men who thought moro of
self than the people. BY it's nature
Democracy should have led the
masses, but not since the Civil War
did it SO put itself in touch with the
people as in it's declarations in the
Chicago platform of 1896; and never
during that period did it put for
ward as fearless and true man as
Bryan to lead in the campaign of
that year, with a platform that
meant something, and leader who
was not afraid TO stand upon it, we
made a fight that astonished the
money kings of this and other
countries. We believe the people
are determined to keep the same
platform, and again choose the
matchless leader to stand upon it.
If the next national Democratic
convention is the voice of the peo-
pie the Chicago platform will be
reaffirmed and William j. Bryan
triumphantly renominatod for
President.-W Weston Democrat.
