While going home to dinner a few
days ago we saw couple of children,
boy and girl, making mud balls by the
roadside. Their hands were muddy and
their clothes were soiled, though their
faces were bright with smiles. We
thought as we looked at those children,
says the Concordia (Kansas) Empire,
that some people never get past the age
Of making mud balls. They are forever
doing or saying something dirty or nasty
and never seem SO happy as when they
can besmirch someone with a mud ball.
A mud ball thrown at young girl may
stain her reputation as long as she lives;
a mud ball thrown into family circle
may disrupt it and sully the lives Of all
its members. A mud ball thrown by
one jealous business man at another may
blacken his credit and demoralize his
business. A mud ball thrown by one
spiteful woman at another of whom she
is envious, may rankle and distort and
discolor an otherwise clean life. All
these are to be pitied, but that man or
woman is most deserving OF pity who
can find nothing better in life to do than
to make mud balls to throw at those
about them. Stop making mud balls.

The theory of criminal Jurisprudence
in our courts is fairly good but the prac-
tice is so VIGOROUSLY bad that it meets
with universal condemnation. Our courts
ought to be not only above suspicion,
but above imposition by shysters of large
practice and respectable regulations.
We are seriously in need of speedy
trials of all indictments, courts that are
above fear or favor, and clean district
attorneys. This means taking the ad-
ministration of the courts out of poll
tics, for politics and judicial probity
never work well together.
The Elbert County tribune., 1902-11-27

There are merchants in all towns who,
while not asserting that newspaper ad-
vertising is not without some results, do
not give the same a fair trial. They are
not persistent enough and for the most
part not extensive enough in the spread
Of printers ink. The stand-up- fort the
town policy of the paper meets their
hearty approval, but when it comes to
liberal advertising patronage they are
willing to be counted out And yet
some of these same merchants will in
dulge in fake advertising schemes that
come, placing money where it will GER
tainly not do the most good. 1t has
time and again been demonstrated that
the most renumerative advertising is
through the legitimate newspaper, and
in addition to this the satisfaction is ever
present of having encouraged an enter
prise that is ever ready to help the com
munity in every good and perfect under
taking.

the mountains a great deal Of money in
the course of ten years to keep the tracks

even more expensive. Drive stake on
the side Of a mountain, take the location
with the greatest care and return after a
few months. The stake is not in the
same location. The whole side of the
mountain has moved. This experiment
has often been tried, and in all cases the
result proves that the mountains are
moving. The mountains are gradually

Report of Teachers reetlug.

We are indebted TO Miss Therese
Brockman of Kiowa, secretary OF the as
sociation, for the following excellent re-
port Of the meeting OF the teachers asso-
citation. The report was received too
late for publication in last weeks issue:
The eighteenth meeting Of the Elbert
County Teachers association, held at
Ebert, was opened by Mrs. May Atche-
son Georgia Friday evening. Nov. IA.
Tie iirst number on tho program was a
song by the male quartette, followed by
we'll rendered humorous recitations by
Miss Minnie Morgan and Mr.. George
McKimmie, which were greatly enjoyed
by the large number present. The lee
ture, "The Man and Woman Of Tomor-
row. by DR.. b. o. Aylesworth, was GER
tainly very interesting and instructive
and we hope he will lecture here again
soon. At the conclusion Of the lecture
the male quartette favored the audience
with another song after which Nearer
My God to Thee" was sung by all and
the people left for their homes, we'll
pleased with the program.
The attendance Saturday was small
on account Of the inclement weather.
The meeting opened with song, Battle
Hymn of the Republic" and few re
marks by the superintendent. Papers
on History and Primary Methods, by
Miss Henry and Mrs Mayer, were read
and discussed by all present A Long
fellow story by Mrs. G. l.. Hames fol
lowed, after which the meeting adjourned
until l:3O p. m.
A selection on the violin and organ by
Mr.. Kaempfer and Rev. Gramcko opened
the afternoon session. Papers on Pri-
mary Music and Orthography, by Miss
Seeber and Mr.. Kaempfer, gave us food
for plenty of thought. An address by
Rev. Gramcko, on education in Germany,
let us peep into the schools Of other
countries and made us happy that we
were in America. A recitation by Miss
Gcssel was followed by the closing song,
Were Tenting Tonight on the Old
Camp Ground"
Officers appointed were: President,
Mrs May Georgia; vice president, Mrs.
o. A. KILN; secretary, Mrs. Alce Mayer;
treasurer, Miss Lola Coble. 1t was

stitute the program committee.

cellent recitations.

BUT Two PARTIES IN CONGRESS

The Fifty Eighth will be the first two
party congress since the Fifty First,
elected in 1888. In that congress there
were 169 straight Republicans and 184
straight Democrats. In the Fifty Eighth
congress there will be 20s straight Re
publicans and IT'S straight Democrats.
In the Fifty Second congress, elected
in 1890, there were SS Republicans. 23G
Democrats, and eight members represent
ing the Farmers Alliance. In the Fifty
Third congress-. elected in 1892, the
Farmers Alliance members dropped out,
and their places were taken by eight
members elected by the Peoples party.
In 1894 there was landslide to the
Republicans, and in the Fourth
congress there were 246 Republicans, 10i
Democrats, and eight Populists and Sill
verites. In 1896 the Democrats gravi-
tated toward Populism, and in the Fifty
Fifth congress there were 27 Populists,
three Silverites, 204 Republicans, and
127 Democrats, the Republicans having
majority of Al over Populists, Demo
crats, and Silverites.
That was the high tide of Populism.
In the congressional elections of 1898 the
Democrats who had coquetted with
Populism largely returned to their own
party, and in the Fifty Sixth congress
, there were only five Populists and three
Silverites, to 100 Republicans and 159
Democrats.
In the Fifty Seventh congress there
are 1877 Republicans, l52 Democrats, and
eight Populists and Silverites. In the
Fifty Eighth congress the Republicans
gain SO seats and the Democrats 26,
while the Populists lose all the seats
held by them in the Fifty Seventh and
previous congresses.
The country has returned again to an
alignment on the policies of the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties. In ma
tional politics there is no third party.
In the last twoparty congress, the FIJI
ty-First, Speaker Reed had n majority
OF five behind him. In the Fifty Eighth
congress, with only two parties repre-
sented, Speaker Cannon will have a ma
jority of thirty behind him.-Chicago

doing greater volume of business and
drawing more trade from afar, which
had hitherto been going to other towns,
than ever before. This speaks well for
the town as trading center and market.
