fact that the stress Of latter day life Is
such that the mind is seldom found In

sion Of message from the mind OF an

spiration must have been dull in
deed. But the HERALD regrets
that the speaker did not more siren,
iously urge upon the individual
the necessity of greater faithfulness
in the discharge of his duties as a
citizen-that he did not emphasize
more forcibly the responsibility of
every voter in the use, or neglect,
of the privileges and prerogatives
of patriotic citizenship. The indi-
vidual voter is, in the final analysis,
the supreme ruler-the arbiter of
the destinies of the nation, and
he is as recreant to duty, as
morally guilty of malfeasance or
nonfeasance in misdirecting or me-
glecting his right of suffrage, as
is the elected officer who fails to
properly discharge the duties en-
trusted to him. Furthermore, the
man who does not, or will not,
vote is estopped from fault-fnding
or adverse criticism of the govern
ment and it's officers. Nor can he
plead that his vote would not have
turned the scale had he cast it, any
more than can an officer that it
would have made little or no diff
ference with general results in the
country at large whether he dis
charged or neglected his full duty.
With possible results neither one
has anything to do. All that is
required is that they shall discharge
their duties and obligations faith
fully and conscientiously-results
will take care of themselves. There
is no question of the benefcent
ultimate outcome of matters DO
litical when every citizen fully
discharges his duty. Tos popuH
may not'always be voc debut it
is the nearest approach to it, in
republic like ours, which it is pos
sible to arrive at; and if it mistake
once it will not be apt to repeat it
soon. No one may claim to be a
patriotic citizen who neglects this
fundamental duty of citizenship.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not

cure billousness, jaundice. constipa-

the secretions, moving the bowels
gently, yet effectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the glands
of the stomach, liver and bowels that
cause the trouble is removed entirely.
These famous pills exert decided
tonic effect upon the organs involved,

days there will be no return OF the

This legislature was not elected
upon an economy issue, and that
makes 1t difficult to understand it's
extravaganza. The populist legis-
lature of a few years ago made a
record for outrageous expenditures
but then the members were indi-
vidually and collectively pledged to
parslmonlous economy, and ex-
traVagance was expected. This
legislature shows disposition to
break the record of that session.

A farm journal offers this excellent
advice: Only rich man can afford to
keep poor COWS, but it is only the
poor man who does keep them. The
rich man who LOOKS carefully after the
dollars pays high price for An ami
NAL and still makes a profit; the poor
man buys poor cow, thereby saving
in the wrong place and then works
double time, feeds more food, gets
less returns and comes out a loser in
the end of the year. Better buy one
good cow than two poor ones for the
same amoun6 of money.
