RIGHT MOTIVES
The Biggest Part of an Act \ the Intention That
 Prompts It.

A motive is that which moves a man, an internal reason pushing 8 man to decision. Man as a respon- sible being acts only from motives; 6 machine is made to go from out ward compulsion. The mind may be in indecision, in doubt; various mo- tives appeal to the will; finally the mind is made up. and the man acts in view of a controlling motive. The moral quality of an act depends on the motive back of it, not on the out pray in fervent manner, so that men may regard him as an Israel hay ing power with God, but if the prayer be offered in insincerity. if it be de- signed to please the human ear, it lacks every element of true prayer. 1t is the motive that measures the life and the act.
 An outwardly good and shining act is hollow thing unless it is begot- ten from a true motive. A well-inten- toned and blundering life becomes covered with moral beauty if there be a good intention back of it. We are not fitted to sit in final judgment on men around us, for we see only the outside of lives and acts. The biggest part of an act-the intention-we cannot see. God alone can separate the tares from the wheat. We should be considerate in judging and slow to condemn, for we lack the power to a& fhn Snx man and true has been most griev- ously misjudged, many deceiver ap- plauded and acclaimed.
 Failures and mistakes may, under Gods penetrating gaze. be lifted up and transfgured into shining suc- cesses, if the intention be high and holy. A right intention with an un- enlightened judgment is vastly better than clear understanding but a moral nature that is not true to duty. Browning has in one stroke drawn the distinction between attitude and act:
 '"Tis not what man does which exalts
 him, but what man would do."
 And he writes again:
 What aspired to be,
 And was not, comforts me-"
 If a man has fellowship with good motives good intentions. he can stand upright even in Gods presence and say: "I mean to do what is right" God sometimes takes the will for the deed. David wished to build the tenn pie. God forbade the work. but gave him this comfort: It was in thine heart to build it. Our motives are under our control, they are ours. We must care for them. and see that they are clean and holy. We cannot be omniscient, nor all-compelling, but we may make sure of this: the in- tention to please God, to be on inti- mate terms with duty. No man can finally commend himself unless he can honestly say: "I mean to do what is right in Gods sight. P. Eaches, in Baptist Union.

field. Perhaps you can do more good
with the ballot than you could with the
gun. Your country did not seem to need
you as a soldier, but your country does
need you in the. realm of citizenship.
3. No matter how long you may live,
you will never have an opportunity to
vote for better men than this year. We
have a magnificent ticket. Mckinley
and Roosevelt! What a superb combina-
ton! They are both statesmen and both
heroes, one of the great Civil War and
one of the was for the deliverance of
Cuba. Mckinley, steady, earnest,
thoughtful, calm, kind and faithful;
Roosevelt, impetuous but efficient, brave
and dashing, with both moral and physi-
cal courage. Was there ever a better
ticket or one which more thoroughly COM
mands. the respect, the confidence and the
affection of the American people?
If you don't stay and vote you will be
sorry for it twenty years from low. Make
some sacrifice for your country's sake.
Oh, my boy, you must not go until the
election is over. And when in November
the ballots fall
"As snowfakes fall upon the sod,
And execute the freeman's will,
As lightning does the will Of God"
Cast your vote and then sleep sweetly
that night, with a sense of duty faithfully
done. YOUR FATHER.

EX- MAYOR SQUARELY
FOR REPUBLICANS.
Supreme Court Would NuIIify
Any lmperialistic Ideas.
Every True Democrat Can Take M
Other Course Except to Vote the p.
Republican Ticket.

(By Abram S. Hewitt Of New York, for
merly Mayor and Member of Congress.)
The political situation at this time is
of a very different character from that
which presented itself four years ago. At
that time it seemed possible to maintain.
a distinct Democratic organization, based
upon the fundamental principles enun-
cinted by Jefferson, and which had con-
tinued to govern the party in all previous
presidential elections. The recent con.
%vention held at Kansas City has, how.
ever, rendered all such expectations hope.
less. The party which calls itself Demo-
cratic is in reality Populistic, and based
upon doctrines which, il carried into eff
feet, would produce political anarchy.
You ask whether 1 believe in the coin
age Of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l.
You might as well ask me whether l be-
lieyed that an ounce should be made to
pass for a pound in the ordinary transac-
tons of commerce. The ratio is a false
ratio. The value of silver measured by
gold is, as every one knows, not 16 to /,
but 81 to 1. The proposition Of the plat
form therefore is to declare that fifty
cents shall by law be made equal to one
dollar.
You ask me whether the present admin
istrdtion is likely to establish an imperial
lstic form Of government over this coun-
try or in its new possessions.
l answer that the Constitution of the
United States is too strongly intrenched
in the affections of the people to permit
its possible violation by the administra-
ton, and that If such an attempt were
made, the Supreme Court of the United
States will surely interpret the Constitu-
ton in the spirit of it's founders and for
the preservation of the constitutional gov
eminent, to which we owe our stability
and our prosperity.
Y0u ask whether q Democrat, by voting
for Mckinley and Roosevelt, could be
considered false to the interests Of Dem
ocracy. L answer that / do not see how
q Democrat who is true to the interests
of Democracy can in the present exigency.
take any other course than to vote for
the Republican ticket. l propose myself
so to vote, and / do this because I am n
Democrat who feels that Organism and
all that it stands for is Numerically OBJ
posed to the principles of the Democratic
party, as they were enunciated by Jeffer-
son and MS they nave been construed by
all the great men who have led the Dem
ocratic party up to the time of the hold
ing of the unhappy convention of 1896,
when the old organization was broken up.
1t is certainly a lesser evil to continue
the government in the hands Of the Re-
publican party for the next four years
than to encounter the perils which would
confront MS in case Bryan and his follow
ers should have the opportunity Of put
ting in practice the insane policy to
which they are committed.

The Foolish Calf.

When Senator Hanna spoke at Youngs-
town, Ohio, recently, he told a story of
a calf that left its mother to run after
a steer. Secretary Heath has taken up
this idea and developed it into a cam
paign poster which very artistically de-
picts Senator Hanna's idea. The calf is
seen chasing the steer in the distance;
the COW is in the foreground sauntering
quietly home, while the boy stands with
uplifted fist shaking it at the calf, say
ing, you little fool, you little fool, you
id fools you'll be sorry when supper
time comes"
The picture is entitled 1.-THE Foolish
Calf, or a Lesson to Labor" and stand
ing by a fence in front of a cottage are
a farmer and a woman, the man with a
full dinner pail id his hand. This poster
is sure to catch on and is likely to be a
good vote getter.
When Senator Hanna arrived in Chi
cago this week it was shown to him and
surprised him. He had no idea that Mr..
Heath had been developing his story.

4DEAR BOY" LETTERS, NO. 9.

My Dear Boy:
You say that you are tired of working
for old man Skinner, and are thinking Of
going West this fall, where wages are
higher. You ask what I think about it.
Well, I have no objection to your going
West, but rdon't want you to go till after
the election. This is the first time in
your life that you ever had an opportu-
nifty to exercise your right as an Amer
ican citizen in voting for a President of
the United States. I don't want you to
lose your vote for the following reasons:
/. The only possible chance of the cleo
ton of Bryan comes from the over-conf-
adence of Republicans. 1t makes me sad
to hear a man say, "Oh, Mckinley is
going to be elected, anyhow. There is no
danger. I have arrangements made to be
in California in November, but you won't
need my vote"
Especially do I regret to hear talk of
this kind among some of the railroad
men. If any class of men ought to come
up unanimously to the support Of Nc
Kinley and the Republican party, that
class is composed of the railroad men of
this country. Four years ago there were
thousands of cars sidetracked, no build
ing and but little repairing going on,
and general stagnation in the railroad
business. Now new roads, new %roadbeds,
new cars, the roads crowded with trains,
full time and better pay bless the rail
road men of this country. And it vexes
me to hear a railroad man say, II would
have to lay off a day to vote, and l guess
I'll not do that. There will be plenty to
elect Mckinley without me" Well, if
by any possibility Mckinley should be
defeated, just such men as that will have
themselves to blame.
p. No American voter has any right to
stay away from the polls or to lose his
vote if it can possibly be avoided.
My son, you are one of the .soyereigns
of the United States, and you have no
more right to neglect the duties pertain
ing to your high calling than the Emperor
of Germany has to neglect the govern
ment of that mighty empire. To vote is
a matter of inestimable privilege, and
also a matter of earnest, conscientious
duty.
Two years ago you enlisted to fight for
your country as a soldier, but the sur
geon turned you down and would not let
you so. l sympathized with you in the
bitterness of your disappointment. ]
knew that love Of country led you to
enlist, and I was proud because you
wanted to go. And l think that the sur
geon was a little oyer-particular. You

country as truly when you cast an honest
ballot US il You were a soldier in the

MOUNTAIN STATES
TURN TO M'KlNLEY.
Prosperity the Cause Of the
Welcome Change.
No One Fears .Imperialism," While All
Are Proud of the Records Made
by the Army and Navy.
(By George L. Shoup, United States Sen
ator from Idaho.)

CBy GeorgeL. ShOup, United states SEN
ator from Idaho.)
There are many reasons which impel
the voters of the mountain States to sup
port the nominees and the policy of the
Republican Party this fall. One word
more than any other explains the position
Of our people in this support and that
word is confidence.
The record Of the Republican party is
a record Of fulfilled promises.
The first act of the party after it's re.
turn to power was the enactment of the
on a protection basis.
Take for example the benefits which
have accrued to my own State, idaho
Among u principal industries are min,
ing, cattle and sheep growing and farm
ing
The great lead mines of the State are
working every man possible at wages of
$3.50 per day of eight hours. During
the three years of President Mckinley's
administration the value of the lead pro-
duced in the State was $14, ia, O05, while
during the last three years of President
Cleveland's administration the total value
vas only 81, S6O,151.
Our sheep have advanced in price from
$1.15 to $3.50 per head, a gain to the
people Of the State of over three million
dollars in the value Of the sheep alone.
In the year 1896 the wool clip Of Idaho
was valued at $442 ,GS5, while for the
year 1900 it is estimated that it will bring
to the wool growers Of the State 49,
$4,000.
~ aYr Norcorrp tfrn ncftptof 70 of fhn
number Of cattle in the State is 100000.
They have increased in value on al aver
age of SIS per head, making the cattle
men at least seven and one-half million
dollars richer than they were three years
ago. The increase in the price of horses
of $40 per head has also added between
one and two million dollars to the wealth
of the State.
The voters Of this State and of the
other mountain States are not blind to
these facts, and on election day they will
give earnest evidence of their confidence
in the party whose policy has so enriched
and prospered them.
We of the West are proud Of the
achievements Of our army and navy in
the war with Spain. The patriotic posi-
tion of the Republican party in declaring
for the retention of the territory so gall
lantly won from Spain appeals to our
people.
They do not fear imperialism" for we
have never met an American who was
an imperialist. I am in receipt of let
tiers from many men who have never vot-
ed anything but a Democratic ticket, but
who will vote for Mckinley and Roose-
welt on this issue alone.
You can count on the electoral vote Of
Washington, Oregon, idaho, Utah, Wyo-
ming and perhaps Montana and Colorado
for Mckinley and prosperity.

Germany,s Need Of Exnansion.

The vital need of Germany is the ex-
tension of its market. Bismarck saw
that the surest "a Of accomplishing
this was through Expansion" Hence
G~ermany's aggressive colonial policy,
which has already given it New Guinea,
several slices OF Africa, part Of Samoa,
the Solomon group, Kiao Chau in China;
made it eager to get the Philippines, if
it could; and caused it to pay Spain a
big price for the Caroline Islands, which
the United States left to that country by
the treaty Of Paris.
