CHILDREN Hope

most unique Opponents ever hcsri

Silver Lake, Kosoiusko county. De-
Won Getty and Ruth Arnold, aged re-
speotively and 6, were the chief fig

extra clothing, slipped away from their
homes, and walked ont of the town TO-
gether in the dusk Of the evening.
There was alarm in the two house
holds when the two children were
missed two hours later. They were
followed for miles into the country
and were overtaken at farm house,
where they had stopped to rest.
When questioned by their parents as
10 why they had run away, Master De-
Won Getty put his arms around little
Ruth Arnold and said earnestly: eve

PITY THE SORROWS.

Speaking of the race Of former At
torney General Breckenridge for the
Democratic gubernatorial nomination,
the Louisville Herald says that he
bases mis- appeal for support upon two
particular claims:" First, that he was
elected attorney general On the ticket
with the late william Goebel, and,
having been uhseated, is entitled to
reward as a martyr; second, that, as
Governor Beckhsm is, under the
constitution, ineligible to succeed him
self, it would be a great mistake for
the Democrats to nominate him and
throw the Office open to contest.
in arguing out these two claims
side by side Judge Breckinridge. dis
unguished lawyer though he be, is
open to the criticism that must attend
every lawyer who has himself for q
client Under both heads he Is per-
sonally and keenly interested, and his
judgment, therefore, may be taken TO
be not as good as that of other men
who have no personal stake on the is
sues. In fact, If his argument against
Governor Beckhan.'s eligibility is no
better founded nor more worthy Of re-
spect than mis- argument in favor of
his own deserts as q martyred public
official, he has bat little to stand upon
before the people Of the state.
"There is something palmetto in the
spectacle OF member of the grand old
Breckenridge family of Virginia and
Kentucky, in the evening of his life,
bowed with life's service to his par
ty, appealing like a mendicant to his
merciless former accomplices, the ra-
pacious and conscienceless machine
that is held together by the memory
of its crime, and fat with its spoils,
ssying: ~ am the poor old man who
failed TO get his share of the theft Of
the state, and you should make it up
to me-"
Speaking of Governor Beckham's
eligibility, it says: "He is eligible by
every tie that binds sccomplices to-
gether for self protection. He is eligi-
Die for that machine and its ramifica-
lions by the virtue of his success. He
has been the chief beneficiary of fraud.
He is the symbol of safety and hope
to the workers that promoted and &C.
complished the intamy of that fraud.
He has covered 1t with the respecta
bility Of profit He is young and ar.
dent. He sits in his office in the sun
shine of adulation, full of confidence,
backed up by the support of the same
rapacious crew, and smiles with the
serenity of assured success Is he lis
tens to the voice of impotent opposi-
tion across the square crying: pity
the sorrows of poor old mau who d
not get his share Of the swsg."
According to all the rules Judge
Breckenridge is himself clearly ineli-
gible because he failed to carry off the
plumber. d"

It is claimed by some of the county
officials that the county can do the
road repair work for $40 a mile. If
she can, she ought to do it. Last year
something near si5 a mile was paid
for the work, aud his year the lowest
bid was $50. The county, under the
circumstances. ought to proceed to do
the road work herself without any
further parleying. The county, fur
thermore, could have done the work
last year for $40 a mile If she can
do IT this year for that amount. The
man who did the work last year for
SIS mile wants $50 q mile this year,
consequently if the county can do 1t
this year for $40 it could have done it
for proportionately less last year, ac-
cording to the contractors way of fr-
uring. There is no use in wasting pub
lie money on the county roads. The
roads all ought to be grnveled as rap'
IDLY as possible. and just as little mon
ey spent on the dirt ones, outside Of
gravcling them,a as possible.

CONCERTED ACTION.

The Fundamental idea of labor
unionism is to accomplish by concert
ed action, for the benefit OF the men,
bership. what the individuals of that
membership. acting singly. could not
accomplish for themselves. But still
the real status of every man. no mat
ter to what union he may belong. il;
that of individuality. Each man is
bound to work out his own destinv.
The union can never supplant those
virtues in the individual, such as in
dustry. economy. Judgment. sobriety
and honesty and steadiness of purpose
which are requisite to success in this
life. The reliance which every man
must repose in himself far exceeds in
Importance any that he may place
in his union The world today is
the resultant of causes that have been
operating through ages. We shall
not be able to effect any very radical
or startling changes in it. AS we
CLEAN it from history. experience and
observation. the vital requirement of
the world. is that every man must
possess n safe anchor and ballast with
in himself Upon any other plan he
will scarce be more than "a poor,
harmless mark. floating through
space " A good community is one
made up of good individuals. A pros
porous community is one composed of
prosperous individuals. The sheet
anchor of success in this life is locat-
ed in the individuals soul. The office
of the collective union is to aid the
individual in his personal struggles
when that aid is needed. 1t cannot
free him from those struggles, for
life, at best. is but one prolonged
struggle. which is only ended by
death. Without that struggle man
would not possess the strength nor
the world the civilization we see
about us. The union exists for the
benefit of the union. II at any time
the union shall undertake to supplant
the individual. instead of merely aid
ing him in his just fight. the union
will be found to be acting outside of
its true sphere. In any such case the
union. instead of being the blessing
intended. will be found to be the la
boring mans greatest curse. -Ouray
