Several Things to Be Considered by
Democrats.

There are several things to be con-
sidered by this weeks democratic
county convention. 1t is of great i'm
pOrtance that the convention weigh
well its action with reference to the
Endorsement of a suitable candidate
for minority representative. The
office is the only one that the party
has within its gift the nomination
for which if properly made carries
an absolute certainty of election. and
it is desirable as it is just therefore
that it be placed in worthy hands,
not only as a token of the party's es-
TEEN and recognition, but with con-
sideration of its effect upon the party
and the other candidates that may
be named for the county officers at
the same time. The candidate for
minority member of the Legislature
from this district should be a repre-
sentative man politically as well as
otherwise. He should be such Il can
didate as will give strength TO the
county ticket and inspire the candi-
dates as we'll as the party and the
public generally with confidence.
Important. too, as it is that the
convention make no mistake in its
expression of choice for member of
the legislature, the over-shadowing
question of the preliminaries should
not be permitted to minimize the
equally important general duties de-
volving upon the convention. The
Question of minority representative
furnishes but part of what is to be
done, but such a part that it will
have its influence. of course, in what
the convention does otherwise. And
while the convention is putting forth
the best men available for the county
offices, it should so shape its course
in its preference for member of the
legislature that its entire work ia
ken together will receive at once the
commentator of all classes of peo-
pIe-and their support at the polls
election day.
The Argus has heretofore spoken
of the exceptional opportunities for
the success of creditable demo-
cratic county ticket in Rock Island
county this year. The party has
but to avoid the errors of the repub-
lican convention to make victory at
the polls reasonably sure.
1t is up to the county convention to
do the proper work in this respect.

There appears to have been eXcep-
tional reasons of a special and per-
sonal nature which brought about
the election of the democratic candi-
date for governor of Oregon. The
republicans carried the legislature
and reelected both their representa-
tives in congress. That Il mixed re-
suit should have been achieved, giving
democrats as well as republicans Il
taste of victory in a state in which
the republican majority is about 49,
900, will encourage the democracy in
other states. To nominate fit and
popular candidates is very excel
lent way to secure success. Where
elections are fairly conducted and
the voter is free to exercise his choice
a proper candidacy is a long step to-
ward favorable poll.

DAILY SHORT STORY

Edward Corbett came home 10 din
ner late.
Andrews kept me-" he said to his
wife. who met him in the hall.
Corbett pulled a handkerchief from
his overcuat outside pocket and with
it trolley transfer ticket, which fell
on the floor unnoticed by either Mr..
or Mrs. COrbett.
You rode homer asked the wife.
"No; walked"
Corbett went up stairs to dress, and
Mrs. Corbett espied the transfer ticket
and picked it up. Surely her husband
must have dropped it. What would
he be doing with n transfer ticket if
he had walked home, as he had said2
That was a lame excuse he gave for
being detained. Was he deceiving her?
Looking at the back of the transfer
ticket. she saw some figures in pencil.
At dinner Corbett ate sparingly. His
wife noticed it. She was sure he had
taken his dinner with some one before
coming home and that he had dined
with a rival.
Did you say you walked home,
uearE' she asked.
Yes
Mrs Corbett made no reply. Tears
came into her beautiful eyes.
What in the world is the matter,
my love?" asked the husband.

"Deceiving you? In what respect?'

Cuba win Need No Foreign Master

William J. Bryan, who was present
at the birth of the Cuban republic
when the first president was inaug-
urated, writing from Havana, where
he was studying the situation, said:
Cuba is capable of self-government,"
and continues: 1T is not n ques-
ton open to dispute. Henry Clay
declared that God never made a peo-
pie incapable of self-government.
CIay's logic is sound. Capacity for
government is not thing to be ac-
quired or bestowed; il is inherent in
people. As individuals differ in
wisdom, in moral character and in
self-restraint, so nations differ; but
il cannot be said that any nation
nas reached perfection in the
science of government or in the art
of Administrations; neither can it be
said that any nation is so low down
in the scale of civilization that it
needs a foreign master"
