There is much talk of reorganiz-
ing the Democratic party. The
party needs not to be reorganized
but il needs to organize Each
individual of the party needs to
feel that defeat. or victory, is de-
pending to great extent on his
actions or influence. There
breathes no man. that has not
some influence over some fellow
man. and generally that influence
will extend across the line and
and bring some from the ranks of
the opposite party. But We are
sorry to say that the opposite
party uses their influence success
fully One thing then to do is to
organize and instiIl in each ones
mind that he is host within him.
self, and if there are any that has
"a tendency to be Influenced. let
those who have the interest of the
party at heart infueno him be-
fore the other man gets chance.
While there is. as yet, no issue on
platform. passed upon by the
party in convention, yet we of
the Democratic party have faith
that the people of the party will
say what shall be inserted in the
platform In this party the will
of the people is law. On the op-
posite side the party is law unto
the. people.
In the Democratic ranks the
party makes its leaders; on
the opposite the leaders makes
the party. 1t ia almost an asserted
fact that when one party gets alb.
solute control until nomination
is as good as an election, that
party becomes, corrupt. forms
rings, becomes selfish, do anything
to further its interest. The
Republican leaders are shout
ing for rotation in Office"
They show up some State officials
in bad light. Their esgerness
to promote their own interest are
bringing to the lime-light some of
the gigantic frauds praotioed on
the people. We believe many
leaders and organs of the party
are telling the truth just now
We believe in rotation in office.
But We believe it will rotate
towards the Democratic party this
year. We believe the Democrat
party should in it's state ocnven-
ton adopt resolution of thanks
to certain Republican gentlemen
for exposing the inside workings
of Republican ring. Now if
there be any faint.hearted in our
party we would like to say take
couragel The old party is going
to win once again.

Professional Scabs.

When publisher offers an author
better royalties than other publishers
have been paying him. he is scao.
bling on those other publishers. The
reporter on a newspaper who feels
he should be receiving larger salary
for his work says so. and is shown the
door, is replaced by reporter who is
a scab; whereupon, when the belly.
need presses. the displaced reporter
goes to another paper and scabs him,
self. The minister who hardens his
heart to call, and waits for a certain
to offer him say five
hundred year more, often finds him
self scabbed upon by another and more
minister; and the next
time it is his turn to scab while a
brother minister is hardening his
heart TO call. The scab is every
where. The professional strike
breakers, who, as a class, receive
large wages, will scab on one another
while scab unions are even formed to
prevent scabbing upon scabs.-Jack
London in Atlantic.

MERELY MOTHERS.

When Johnny, and Jimmie and Dolly
Are asleep in their little beds
Their mother goes softly among them
And picks up the broken threads.
She mends torn apron for Dolly;
Then, scanning the broken-up toys,
She wonders if any more mothers
Have any such troublesome boys.
Then little brown paw is uplifted;
TITS Johnny's-a vision he sees;
"Teach-teacher!" he gasps, and his
mother
Is down by the boy, on her knees.
Hush! Mother is here, love; you're
dreaming;
It's mother, my darling; no harm
Can come to you here, my own John
ny;
No teacher can hurt or alarm"
And he opens the eyes that resemble
The ones looking into his own;
Jaw, there. Is it you, dearest mummy /?
Don't g'way and leave me alone"
IT'S written that God made the
mothers
To help where he couldn't trust
man;
That he needed their goodness and
patience
To finish his wonderful plan.
