Editor Standard:
Whether right or wrong in it's
comments upon subjects or indi-
viduals. newspaper invariably
pleases its readers best when IT
assumes a positive style of criti-
Cism, void of insiEuation and
possessing nothing of the sneak
nor of the bastard, and | am glad
because told by the Standard that
all act of the Republican Execu-
tive Committee is "nervy" Il
suppose the word was intended to
mean nervous designating force
and vigor) rather than the pro-
duct of pudding-heads, and | am
doubly grateful for the terse les
son in ethics so elegantly given by
the use Of the single word gall
lest"
From unqualified statements in
its columns relative to the COM
munication from the republican
chairman to the presiding officer
of the democratic committee, the
Standard certainly knew its. char.
acter; and the published erron-
eous report, when forced on an
intelligent public, can but be
credited to its author as an act of
political Workmanship gone mad.
Does the Standard constitute it
self the mentor of each of its dem
Ocratic readers, privileged to in
ilict upon them a prevarication
rather than offer all an opportu-
nifty for individual thought and
comment?
Fairness is a characteristic
trait Of all true Americans, ma
tives or naturaiized, irrespective
of political affiliations, and the
vast majority of democrats III
Tom Green county will condemn
a foul act, the more promptly
when deceit is practiced upon
them.
| have no fear of the Judgment
of my numerous democratic
friends. Can the Standard say as
much and publish verbatim the
communication Of Chairman Rich
ardson to Chairman Pulliam?
Yours for fair play.

BE A FoRCETTER
BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH

Just be a forgotten IL you would win out;
The wise men have said it-forget. It's
a inch.
A whole lot of worries will be put to rout
II one can contrive to forget on a pinch.
Look round for a school where they teach
how to do it,
Go in for a medal; forget and stick to 1t.
Contrive to forget all the bills that you
owe.
How happy the thought! It will take
from your years.
Fair, youthful and charming twill cause
you to grow
II you can forget when you get in ar
rears.
The poor bill collectors will learn with re-
greet
To take absent treatment If you can for
get.
Forget when the rent is about falling due;
No good comes of nursing the matter,
you know,
And ask the collector If he ever snew
The wise man who says that remem-
brance must go.
Just give him the number and street of
the man
And tell him to try to get next to the
plan.
The man who forgets is the man who ar
rives,
Some sage has declared, and perhaps it's
no dream.
A first class forgotten in some way con-
trives
To get into action a pretty good scheme
To push himself forward and into the
game
And cop out a place in the temple of
fame.

An Omen Letter.

From the Chaplin, S. c., News.: Early
in the spring my wife and | were taken
with diarrhoea and SO severe were the
pains that we called a physician who
prescribed for us, but his medicines
failed to give any relief. A friend who
had a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy ON hand
gave each of us a dose and we at once
felt the effects. 1 procured a bottle and
before using the entire contents we were
entirely cured. 1t is a wonderful rem
edy and should be found in every house
hold. H. Q. Bailey, Editor. This REM
edy is for sale by Cohen Bros, Wild

Just the Spring Fever.


When all the birds are singing
Their cheerful roundelay
And everything proclaims of spring
And tells of coming May,
Oh, then the young mans fancy
Leads him of love to think;
He huns a u n n starts to SPOON,
And all the neighbors wink.
Perhaps 1t Is a microbe
That's gnawing at his heart;
A naughty germ may have a firm
Grip on some vital part.
And so he spends his money
For neckties and such trash
And takes the road for her abode
Determined to be rash.
Nor is his errand fruitless,
Nor is his welcome rude,
For In its whirl spring gets the girl
And puts her in the mood
To hear his tender message
And lead him inch by inch,
And so before he finds the door
The wedding is a cinch.
As in the hazy twilight
He slowly seeks his rest
A heavenly peace has signed a lease
On all beneath his vest.
With JOY his heart Is jumping
And turning somersaults;
His brain whirls round, for he has
found
A maiden without faults.

NATIONAL RESULTS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-President
Roosevelt probably will have 325 elec-
toral votes as result Of yesterdays
baloting. Late unofficial returns
give the basis for this estimate,
which may be increased by the
eighteen votes from Missouri, when
the returns from the state shall have
been completed, or on the other hand
may be reduced by seven votes when
the count is complete in West vir.

Missouri where the republican state
committee believe they have elected
WaIbridge governor by 1000 to 1000
and have carried the state for Roose.

coming in very slowly, but republi-
can victory is indicated. A careful
estimate shows Roosevelt CARED
every state except the southern
states.
Returns from Missouri, Maryland
and West Virginia are awaited with
great interest. The first named is
claimed by both sides, although it is
generally conceded Folk will be
elected governor by the democrats.
The general belief at Wheeling is
that Roosevelt carried West Virginia
by more than 10000 but the returns
are meaere. Those 50 far received
show slight republican losses Re.
turns from Minnesota indicate the
election Of the democratic; candidate

the state by at least 100000. 10 Wis:

next house Of representatives will be
heavily republican. Dispatches so

elected by republicans against 1873 by
democrats. OF forty-five remaining
districts thirty.two are now represent

democrats.
The tabulated statement indicates
results as follows.
