Corporations are the children,
not of q political party, but of the
State as an entity. It is the bus
mess of the state to protect them
against blackmail, and also to
coerce them, if necessary, into
right conduct. Certainly institu-
tons that are created by the State
have no shadow of right to dc
anything prejudicial to the inter-
ests of the State. And nothing
can be more prejudicial than the
contribution of vast sums o1
money to be used to corrupt the
suffrage, especially when the Civ
ing of these sums is made the
basis of demands for Legislative
favors.

Wealth is power and the theory
on which our government is based
is that power should be distribute
ed. That is what the Democratic
idea means. We have pitted the
president against congress, con-
gress against the president, the
courts against both and one house
of congress against the other, and
all this in order to prevent any
branch of the government from
being too powerful. And when
you build up vast fortunes in the
hands of few men who use their
power in politics you construct an
imperium in imperio, and may
end in making the citizen strong.

you have taken such pains tx

Beastly Ethics.

In recent speech Mayor Jones,
of Toledo, Ohio, said in part:
"We have reached the point
where we are discovering that
wild-beast ethics are not sufficient
upon which to base an enduring
Republic. The ethics of the wild
beast, the survival of the strong
est, shrewdest and the meanest,
have been the inspiration of our
materialistic lives during the last
quarter of a century. This fact,
in our national history, has
brought us face to face with the
inevitable result. We have a ma
ton in which a few are wealthy, a
few are in what may be called
comfortable circumstances, vast
numbers are propertyless and mil
lions are reduced to pauperism
and crime. Certainly no reason
able person will contend that this
is the goal that we have beer
struggling for; that the inequali.
ties that characterize our rich ano
poor represent the idea that the
founders of this Republic hao
when they wrote that all men are
created equal.

meaning, and a desire to laud our
self before men. How long, O,
how long will men pervert thy
meaning and praise themselves
to their final death?
God grant to give us that holy
charity which is the bond of per-
fectness; which claims its chill
dren among those whose motives
are right and whose deeds are
pure; that magnifies not the in
firmities of our nature into crime
nor emblazons our faults to the
world; whose mantle hides a
multitude of sins and points the
erring to a higher, holier life and
says, ''all things whatsoever We
would that men should do to you,
do We even so unto them"

To Prepare for Fires.

At a mass meeting of the citi-
zens of Plain Dealing, on the 21st
instant, Mr.. Charles Banks was
called to the chair and Mr.. Sam
uel Cochran elected secretary.
The obejct of the meeting, as
stated by Mr.. Jones, was to adopt
means and measures looking to
greater security from fire.
On motion, and unanimously
endorsed, it was agreed that
every one (merchants) should
keep at their respective places of
business two barrels of water, one
at each end of the building, and,
as a further protection, each
house be provided with a ladder.
To make things doubly secure,
a night Waterman was agreed
upon, who is to keep on the move
from dark to daylight. A number
of candidates applied for this po-
sition; "Uncle" N. G.. Gillian
being elected by an overwhelming
majority.
The meeting then adjourned
subject to call of the president
all business having been dispos.
| ed of.
A good move, and worthy of the
following up by many of oul
small towns. M. D.

In Memoriam.

Thomas Haskins, youngest son Of John
B. and Delaine Holland, was born Feb.
81, 1888, and died Sept. 10, 1899, aged
II years, 6 weeks and 2 days. He died
of swamp fever after an illness of five
days, bearing his suffering patiently.
Two sisters and one brother have al
ready gone before him. A little while
before he died he threw his arms around
his mothers neck and said, "God bless
you, mamma"
Mother, remember your darling's dy-
ing words, and may his little prayer be
answered. Weep not for thy dear boy;
he is safe in the arms of Jesus.
Father, brothers and sisters, weep not
over the loss of thy little son and brother.
Prepare to meet him in Heaven, where
you viii never have to say "Good-bye''
any more.
May God comfort all the bereaved
ones.
His friend, MARY KrMBALL.

The trust does not see why it
should divide the profit with a
jobber. In some instances the
wholesaler is already ignored and
the sales are made directly to the
retailer and the trust gathers in
all of the profit. It no longer di-
vides with anyone and it does not
intend to do so for the future. Is
the public benefited by this side
tracking of the middlemen? It is
not, for the selling prices of the
manufactured articles have not
been lowered thereby; it is only
the division of profits which is
affected. The middleman is
crowded out and his share of the
profits goes to the combine.

In the Twilight.

My hands are growing weary,
While from my setting sun
The gold is slowly fading,
And so much work undone.
NV every passing mment
Some task unfinished brings
To hands grown weary doing
So many useless things.
My feet are also weary;
The ways they walk are hard,
The thorns have held and hurt them,
The stones have left them SCARED.
Here, in the gathering twilight,
They falthr now and fail,
Poor feet that stray so often
The straight and narrow trail.
Away off in a canyon
hear lost sheep cry,
And on the perfect pathway
See happy souls go by.
But, o. my soul is weary
AS YEARLY I piod,
And ali because I've wandered
So far away from God.

From the following it will be
seen that the editor of the Lafay-
cite Gazette has poor opinion
as all gentlemen should have-of
editorial would-be DULLES and
blackguards:
sThe Lafayette Gazette has
always endeavored to clothe its
utterances in decent language and
to confine its criticisms within the
bounds of respectable journalism,
which should be observed by all
well-bred persons. The Gazette
does not propose to engage in
blackguardism. !"

THE TREATING HABIT.-If every
man who is in the habit of taking
a drink now and then would join
q non-treating club and keep the
rules the consumption of intoxi-
cants would fall off one-half or
more. This would result to the
financial advantage of the club
members, be a distinct service to
many families and would give
clearer heads to business. The
treating habit has been woefully
abused in this country and it is
time that sensible men put a stop
to the foolish pracdce.-Omaha
