Just now the republican papers are
working the prosperity" racket for
all it is worth, because the indications
are good for a big crop. They sing
very low about the Cuban poStoffice
steals which amount to millions, the
Philippine steals of which no one
knows or can approximate the amount,
both of which were committed by
close friends of the president and are
yet unpublished They do not mention
the outrageous extravaganza of apprO-
priations both in congress and the
Kansas legislature. Possibly they can
continue to make people believe that
Mckinley is responsible for the good
crops, but we do not see how they will
keep them from believing his admin
iStration is responsible for the scand-
ais and extravaganza that is being
practiced.

The state of Georgia fifty years ago
built and still owns the Western &
Atlantic railroad from Atlanta to the
Tennessee line. There was more in it
for the legislators to ''leaSe" it to a
corporation, which was done, and the
state has been receiving 1920, O12 a
year from the road, which has been
going into the state treasury. The
state could have employed the talent
and operated the road and saved the
people all the profits the corporation
made off the operation, but they
would not do that as it would have
been an object lesson too plainly seen.
Why, the very men in Office said they
were such thieves that if they were
permitted to run the road they would
steal everything it made! And they
have now, under the paid impulse of
the corporations who want to own the
road, started an agitation to have the
state sell it and ''go out of the rail-
road business. And there is not much
doubt but that the road will be sold,
because the railroad interests have
seen to it long ago that they got their
men nominated and the working peo-
pie elected them, who will do the bid
ding Of the roads. What ought to be
done is for the state to employ compe-
tent men to operate the road at
cost and give the people the benefit
of their own capital. The state of
Tennessee owns half of the other end
of this line that runs to Nashville,
and such road could and would give
the people transportation for one-fifth
Of what they now pay-but it will
never be done so long as the people
elect men to Office who do not want to
see this dOne-whO do not believe in
the public doing anything for itself.
There will be fat thing for the men
in the legislature when this road is
sold-and for the officers who are OPP
Grating the state government-for
that railroads bride public officials is
so well known that it is a matter of
common street joking. Men who be-
lieve in the public doing business
would make success of it-people
who do NOT so believe will do all they
can to make such public operation a
failure, for that will tend to disgust
the public with the public ownership
idea.-Appeal to Reason.

You'll Be a LONG rims Dead. .

Per Request of Josiah Davis.
In nosin' long the crooked trail
o. life, if things don't come yer way,
Don't hang your underlip an wall
Because you make losin' play.
Just give your energy spur,
Put OIL a smile, hold up your head;
Enjoy life while you've got it, fur
Yer going to be long time dead.
Don't let pleasure pass you by,
Bask in the sunshine all you kin,
An when reverses hit YOU, try
To make another play, an win.
Sip sweetness from the flowers o. mirth
The skies o. jollity paint red,
Fur when you quit this bloomin' earth
Yer going to be long time dead.
Yer face was made to pack a smile
Instead of discontented frown,
An you should on the measure pile
The grains o. fun an jolt it down
If fortune should deny you pie
Be thankful fur your daily bread
An butterine, fur by an by
Yer going to be a long time dead
IN psssiii' down the valley try
To scatter sunshine by the way;
Play pleasure chips, an play 'em high,
Encourage others to be gay.
Don't waste minute settin' round
But keep a-goin, bulge ahead
Fur when you leave this pleasureground
Yer goin' to be long time dead.
Don't scatter thorns along the trail
To stab the feet of others, who
The rocky heights are tryin' to scale
An win success the same as you;
Bat plant some flowers as you go,
By dew of kindness keep 'em fed,
Furwhen your lamp goes out, you know
Yer goin' to be long time dead.
To box it in a nutshell, you
Should live heap while you've the
chance
An never miss a chance to do
A merry-makin' song and dance.
Should squeeze the sponge O livin' dry
Sip pleasure from its fountain head
For when it comes yer time to die
Yer goin' to be long time dead.

Love and Duty Lead 10 Dratb.


the city of Louisville fire occur
red. a cigar maker, Max Belo-
witch, and a patrolman named
Purdon lost their lives.
Purdon had lost his lie in the
effort to save the life of Belovitch,
who lost his life in the effort to
save the life of Rosa Warner, who
lived above one Of the stores, and
to whom he was engaged and with
whom he was in love. When the
fire broke out he was not present.
Rose and her mother had been res
cued but were lost in the crowd
when he reached the scene, and
he was under the impression that
his sweetheart was in her apart
ments, and this simple cigar ma
ker rushed up the stairs to rescue
her whom he loved. But as he
did so the patrolman attempted to
prevent him from going in, and
when this failed he followed him
to save his life. Falling walls
killed both.
The editor of the Morning Her
aid, Lexington, in praising their
heroism, says:
We forget that the truth is that
we are sons of God; that in some
mysterious but real sense the Al
mighty created us; that in the
likeness of the Divine Original
this race Of ours was formed: that
each Of us carries about with II,
obscured, II may be defaced by
our lives, but really existing som,

1t was not figure of speech whel
it was said by inspiration tina
man was little lower than the An
gels. This is sober fact, sim
pie, practical reality. And it il
because of this that these act
like that of this plain cigar ma
ker and that equally simple patrol
man of Louisville are so common
and it is because of this that thos
who realize it and believe it as
fact never despair of the future
No cloud can be so black, no con
} dition so deplorable, no state o
community so lamentable as t
make those who do believe tbi
truth despair of reformation, res
toratiOn and progress. When
plain cigar maker in the commu
: nifty can die for love and the pa
trolman die for duty, surely W
, need not despair of the communit
of which they are members.
