WATCH YOUR BOYS.
Manson Journal.l

| Parents are watching their daughters
and try and do see thai they are in at
night, and also associate with good
company. At the sama time they are
paying very little attention to their
sons. 1t may not be generally known
but it is a fact that half the young
| boys from 10 TO 10 years of age are
habitual eigaret smokers. The boys in
the lower grades of the Manson schools
smell as strong of tobacco as an old
| smoker. 1t was this that set some OF
the parents to watching their sons,
since which time tobacco and cigaret
papers have been unearthed in unlock
led for places. A boy might just as we'll
be a drunkard as clgaret fiend A
drunkard often has a Little sense when
he is sober but the cigaret smoker soon
| has little. if any. What parents want
| to do and should do is TO see that their
| boys are home nights and also know
where they are daytines. And IL the
| habit is not broken suddenly, endeavor
| to wear a few blisterS on your hands
| and at the same time on the posterior
part of your young hopefuls More
boys are injured from the lack of the
| rod. than are injured by oVer-lndul-
gence. You may think 1t Is smart for
your son to be a "tuf little nut" but
the history OF the young man of Man
son. whose early boyhood was along the
| line of the tut nut. Is that they are not
holding very profitable jobs at the pres
emf time. nor is there much prospect
that they ever will. 1t is just as i'm
portant for the future of boy that he
| has good bringing UP as a girl. Both
Hives are ruined without.
| COURTESY IN POLITICS.
| [Grundy Denroerat]
! There is one particular In when
| Governor Cummins' speech in this city
Saturday is deserving OF the highest
| form of eommendation. The governor
| treats his competitor for onlce, ZION.
/ J. B. Sullivan, as an equal ana
gentlemen. He assails Mr.. sullivan :
| position with all the force OF his logic
| and his eloquence, but IN no instance
does he forget to treat his opponsn,
with the greatest Difference de tries
TO belittle the mans position, not the
man.
Courtesy is repaid with courtesy as
LIT should be and no instance mas
heen recorded in his campaign where
Mr.. Sullivan has spoken other IMAM
| with the greatest respect OF his poiitl-
| cal opponent.
The preeept that is being given by
| these two leaders in the politics OF the
state is well worthy of the consider
| alton OF those who fellow beneath the
banner of each.
There are many whose spirit OF
craftsmanship at times elopes win
Their good judgment and leaves them
in 81 condition where they are unable
TO see any good in anything or anyone
! that has not a democratic or repub-
lican label on it.
Ever since the existence or the two
parties there have bsen sood ana paa
men in both and no doubt there Will
continue TO be- Everyone should
know this and none should be ashamed
/ to admit 1t.
There are those who think that
when an editor of a democratic paper
does not call his republican readers
domphools. horse thieves and sundry
/ other strong smelling: terms OCCASION
ally. that he is not loyal to the demo-
cratic faith OF vice versa.
The editor Of this paper has been a
democrat ever since he has been old
enough TO vote Had he cultivated
the habit of staying on fighting terms
with those who might not vote his
WAY. he would now be ripe subject
for the care of the society for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals.
