The JUDGE.


Judge Parker on a summers day
Raked the meadows sweet with hay.
Beneath his bonnet buzzed the bee
Whose other name was Democracy.
RaRlng, he thought, and within him
stirred
Thoughts-but he would not say a
word
Thoughts that he scarcely dared to
own
OF something better than he had
known.
But as he looked to the summer sky
A messenger came sauntering by.
"a telegram" said the kid. by gee!
For A. B. Parker" The judge said
"Me!"
The Judge tore open the envelope,
And his heart beat high with hope
ful hope.
Dear Judge: You're it if you don't
object.
Please wire reply. (signed Hill.
COLLECT"
Thanks" wired the Judge. "Democ-
racy;

"Ahal" said the sage OF fair Esopus

"Proverbial silence must now be
broke,
Though silence is golden--that amt
no Joke.
"And Of all glad words that e'er we're
writ,
The gladdest are these; Boys, l am

Rooray for the message that made

tnurv OF DEMOCRACY OF LOGAN.

DUTY OF DEMOCRACY or LOGAN.
The Democrats OF Logan county
have an exceptionally glowing oppor-
tunity to elect ticket this fall The
dissatisfaction in Republican ranks is
spreading rapidly. What with dere-
not Republican officials. wanton eX-
travagance esd high taxation the
time is ripe for change. The taxpay-
ers. regardless Of party Affiliations,
are heartily tired Of Republican ring
rule. and providing the Democracy Of
Logan county places in the field cap
able. intelligent and morally clean
men. the ticket will receive the sup
port Of e per cent Of those taxpayers.
However, unless such ticket car
be feIdcd the Democrats need not put
out ticket at all.
The Leader gives notice here and
now that no alleged Democrats or
dunehills will be supported Democ-
racy mas had two or three instances
of the futility Of placing halos ON the
brows Of "sweaters-on." The candi
dates on the Democratic ticket this
year must be right They must be
capable. clean. honest men. The age
of experimenting with drift-wood is
past. In years past the mere wish Of
a man has been sufficient to boost
him onto a ticket The Democracy Of
Logan county has been through eight
campaiens now Il has fiirted with
renegades, forgiven traitors. faUned
OF dunghills and executed sundry and
divers acrobatics little short Of com
hitting harl-kari. All this has hurt
the party and defeated it campaign af-
ter campaign. In the words Of the la
mented Jonn Havighorst 1T is time to
keep damphools off the ticket and pick
winners who can win" This fail Is
tho time for the Democracy of Logan
TO exert itself. The conditions are in
viting With intelligent, capable men
presenting the issues and showing up
Republican depnquencies success Is
bound to come why should Logan al
ways remain "black Logan?" No rea-
son at all. The fault has been with
Democracy
SO let the Democracy profit by past
failures in building county ticket
