OUT OF HIS PLACE.

The report is out that Senator
James K. Jones has been in Wis
consin using his good offices and
influence in behalf of Senator
John C. Spooner, who is a candi-
date for re-e., cotion 10 the United
States senate. When asked as
to the truth Of the report, Sena.
tor Jones said:
mo, would not confirm or
deny such a report. But | will
say in all seriousness that If the
Wisconsin people want to be well
represented at Washington they
can pick no stronger man. l
should be glad to see a Democrat
at the capital from Wisconsin, but
this is hardly possible, and if a
Republican must 60 to Washing
ton I want to see Spooner go, and
would do anything in my power
to bring about this result" "
The average democrat can see
no reason why Senator Jones
should mix up in the republican
troubles in Wisconsin. Senator
Spooner may be Senator Jones'
firm friend, but it does not ap-
pear clearly to US why the chair
man of the democratic national
committee should take an active
part in a campaign out Of his
party. In Wisconsin there is a
fight in the republican ranks be-
tween Spooner and his friends
and an element that is trying to
overthrow Spooner, and the
national democratic chairman
might take advantage Of the con-
ditions and put in a few licks for
the election of o democrat to the
United States senate from Wis
consin. Atleast, that would have
a better appearance than spoon
ing with Spooner. There is a
screw loose in Senator James K.
Jones somewhere if he has been
in Wisconsin dabbling in a re-
publican contest.

A Married Mans Musings.

The happiness Of a man who
has just bought wedding ring is
only by the happiness of
the fellow who has just got a di-
vorce.
It will always be a question
whether a man would better pick
out a rich, cross father.in-law or
an amiable, poor mother-i law.
Just before a girl is married
she is apt to be pensive; after
wark, expensive.

A gool many girls cast their
bread upon the waters and then
get mad if it doesn't come back
in the shape of wedding cake.
On his wedding morn a fellow
feels like criminal about to be
hanged; a year later he begins to
wish he had been the criminal.
No man has any business to get
married until he is able to shave

Money.

Money moves the world and
pays for a lot of mean whiskey,
1t can prevent the truth and
knock reason off the perch in the
fourth round. Money makes
the mare 60" For money man
will work, sweat, bleed and lie.
1t is the head stone of activity,
the north star Of energy, the
acme Of mans highest ambition.
Most people want a part OF it;
and a few want it all. Money
getting is q virtue and a crime,
With it is blended prayers, pre-
varications and loathing; poverty
peevishness and parasites, misery
and meanness; blood, bliss and
bludgeon, hell, heaven and
happiness; sedition, salvation
and suicide; brain, Drawn and

Money is some peoples God,

tion and sacrifice that puts the

THE PEOPLE CAN STOP IT.

Gov. James P. Clarke address
ed 4 crowd at Mabelyale one day
Hast week, and among other
things said:
"In recent years there has been
60 much talk of the practice OF
Iboedline in the general assembly,
and the circumstantial evidences
have been so numerous, that |
think the matter has progressed
to a point where some notice
should be taken of it. There is
TOO much smoke for there 10 be
no fire. The people should
scrutinize the records OF the
men they send to the iegisla-
tuf5.
Gov. Clarke has stated the
truth. At each session Of the
legislature the charge is heard
from one end of the state to the
other that boodling members are
in the body; that legislation is
secured by the use of money, and
Legislation is killed with money.
These charges are no doubtlarge-
w true. No man who has for the
past several years kept his eye
upon the members Of the legisla-
ture and legislative proceedings
can be induced to say that the
legislature is free from oorrup-
ton, and that money has no in
fluence with some members in
controlling legislation. Many
good, honest, conscientious men
90 to the legislature, who are in
corruptible, but there are just as
many or more whc do not make
up their mind early on important
things, but wait for "develope-
ments." Above all, the general
assembly should be composed Of
clean, honorable men. The power
to help frame laws should not be
entrusted to the boodler or dis
honorable man, yet, beyond
question, it is sometimes done.
The people are at fault if un-
wholesome legislation is fastened
upon them. They have it within
their power to elect legislators
who will be influenced by notr.
ing except a duty of justice and
patriotism. Let the voters do
their duty and we will hear
nothing more of a corrupt legis-
lature.
