and manner of selecting the par
tvs candidates for county offices
to be voted for in 1905. 1t seems
t. be the desire of all concerned
that a primary be held this fall,
on the same day as the presiden-
tial election, and it is understood
that the chairman has this in
view in calling the committee
q ,Ncfher. Would it not also be a
{, 80 call the legislative
sElunIttee together at the same
time and have the thing all done
at once? By doing that the peo-
pie would be given a rest from
the continual grind of politics
and campaigns, and give them a
chance to devote their time to
other pursuits.

The men nominated at st.
Louis, and the platform adopted,
are worthy the support of every
good citizen. They stand for a
government of the people, by the
people, for the people; and
against the passionate, lmpul-
sive dictator whose ideas of gov
eminent are best represented by
the military, and is of Wall
street, by Teddy, for the trusts.

The platform adopted at the
st. Louis convention is one upon
which all wings Of the, democratic
party can stand. Mr.. Bryan en-
dorsed it; so did Mr. Hill. These
two men were the respective
leaders of the extreme factions
of the party, and now that they
have agreed that the platform is
satisfactory, there is nothing
which stands in the way of a re-
united party and a splendid vie
tory this fall.

Parker, of New York, for
president; and Davis, of West
Virginia, for vice president-tbe
men who will lead the democrat
ic hosts to victory in November.
Let every democrat resolve now
to do his full duty. When the
time comes, do it; and the bat
tie is won.

We should be thankful for the
private lives of such men as Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt, Bryan and
Parker. No party can afford to
put at the head of its ticket a
man whose private life will not
bear inspection. 1t is impossi-
bic to estimate the effect of moral
ly bad men in office. The young
take the man chosen for public
office as an expression of our es-
innate of true manhood,
and of what we all admire and
honor in them. Hence the powell
of "A public mans influence.
They re. mot far wrong, for we
put into office the men we want,
and the men who are in office to
day are the type whom we choose
of our own volition. Our pub
lie men represent the average of
the moral sentiment of the COM
munity that elects them. In the
long run the city is not morally
above those who govern it. Your
officials are the product of your
votes. But you say that you do
not all express your choice by
vote. Then you are guilty of
criminal Indifference. If you al
low bad and irresponsible men to
fill your offices, then you have on
lv yourselves to blame. You
should exercise your rights as an
American citizen, and see to it
that clean men, and men whose
lives will express your moral SEN
tlment, and only such men are
put into office.
"a mans public character can
not rise above his private morals.
There is no truth in the dream
that a bad man as a citizen can
make a good official. A liar in
private will be liar in public.
A man who will cheat you in
trade will also beat you in poll
tics if he can. A man who will
steal in private will also steal
from the public treasury. There
is nothing in the election TO Office
that works a transformation in
character, and a man whose con
science allows laxity in his pri-
vate life will not be made pub
lie saint by election to office.
''There is foolish notion that
the party altar sanctlfies the po-
litical gift. When shall we learn
that a man is not a safe and
sound man for the public
trust who has demonstrated
his open disregard Of
the laws of God and man in his
private life, and that no political
sanction can work "a saving trans
formation in him?
ave wake up TO realization
in the end that bad citizen can
not by any political legerdemain
be made into a good official.
Every voter should say to him
self, personally never mean, if
| know it, to vote for an uncIean.
bad man for any office, though
Endorsed by every political party
under the SUM-" And you will
never have clean politics and
decent civic government until
men who believe in righteousness
require that in the man they vote
for.
