Ten Wise Commandments,

l. Thou shalt not go away from home
to do thy trading, thou nor thy sons nor
thy daughters.
2. Thou shall patronize thine own
merchants that they shall also patronize
thee.
3. Thou shall employ thine own me-
chanics, that they may not be driven
from home to find bread for their little
ones. Thou shall also consider him that
is thy neighbor above him that dwelleth
in a strange town.
4. Thou shall not ask for credit as goods
cost much money and the merchants
heart is wearied with bills. His children
clamor daily for bread, and his wife
abideth at home for want of such raiment
as adorneth her sisters. Blessed, yea
thrice blessed, is the man who pays the
cash.
5. Thou shallnot ask for reduced prices
for Influence for behold! guile is thy
lColu ctllu ullC IlClCllotuU lCduOUu Ullo6 llhO
an open book.
6. Thou shall do all in thy power to
encourage and promote thy own welfare,
thy own town and thy own people.
7. Thou shall not suffer the voice of
pride to overcome thee, and if other
towns entice thee, hearken not unto them
for thou mayest be deceived.
8. Thou shall spend thy earnings at
home that they may return from where
they go and give nourishment to such as
come after thee.
8. Thou shall not bear false witness
against the town in which thou dwellest
but speak we'll of it to all men.
10. Thou shall keep these command
ments and teach them to thy children to
the third and fourth generation that
they may be made to flourish and grow
in plenty when thou art laid to rest with
thy fathers.

Paid Sunday School Teachers.

DHhklin Democrats: Salaried Sunday
school teachers are the latest innova-
tions. New York has them-people who
especially prepare themselves to teach
the Sunday school lesson.
A ST. Louis minister is quoted as
favoring the plan. He says that in some
instances tuition is charged Sunday
school pupils, and he also favors that, as
he says that children value something
that they have to pay for.

GOVERNOR DoCKERY would, we
believe, make as good a United
States senator as any man in the
state. The fact is we have perfect
confidence in him as a man, and as
a public servant, but he cannot meet
the expectations Of his friends, and
the people Of our great common
wealth, by resigning the high and
responsible position to which the
people have so confidently elected
him. The following from the Jeffer-
son Democrat expresses our feelings
in regard 10 the matter:

copy of the Butler, Mo-, Democrat

Dockery for United States senator.

it. Still, We have neither sympathy
nor patience with the effort to IN.

He was the very last man against
whom an assassin's hand would be ex

more proof that against the madness of
anarchism the kindliest, most blameless

TIM last issue of the Budget con.

Smiley Of the Wyoming University.
just criticism is a good thing. 1t let's
the light OF day into many dark places
and, in imitation OF tue suns rays, puri-
fies. But we think the Budget has
missed the mark this time. 1t happens
that we know President Smiley quite
intimately and the onn thing which we
have always loved and admired about
the man, among his many other good
qualities, has baen his b~ruudness, his
others. In fact we have heard him
charged with being entirely too broad
and tolerant. We are not, therefore,
ready To believe that he is $50 much at
fault as the people of Wyoming them
selves if there is anything wrong with
the University. Then, again, if Presi
lent Smiley has proved AN incubus on
that institution. how docs it come that
that the Board OF University Regents
has not found this out aud removed
him? They are a body Of men who are
thoroughly alive to the interests of the
University and perfectly able to manage
its affairs and If the institution is in the
shape claimed by the Budget her they
are to blame. We nave not lost an
atom Of faith in either President Smiley
or the University by reason Of the rath
er scathlng criticism Of the Budget.
