his family and friends, he expects
to spend few.1weeks each year in
rest andIrecreation.
Although Representative Bah
cocks father left modest fortune
for division among the three child
rem who survived HIM, the Repre-
sentative may well take rank as a
self-made man, particularly in the
best sense of the term as applied to
those who by industry and applica-
ton make the most Of opportunities.
While Mr.. Babcock has been in so
great a degree the artifcer of his
own fortunes no man now promin-
ent in the public eye has owed less
in life to what is known as chance
or good luck. Every advancing
step in his public career has been
the natural legitimate result of fore
sight, integrity and cheerful labor.
No one who has an opportunity TO
observe the persevering industry,
native good sense and soundness of
judgement which has characterized
his entire legislative career can
doubt that a similar measure of
success would have crowned his
efforts had he chosen to enter some
other field of activity instead of the
domain of public service where he
has accomplished so much for his
fellow men and the well-being of
our republican institutions.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY,
Republicans Alone Deserve Credit
for Inaugurating the Service.

When democrats assert that their
party is the father of rural free
delivery, they willfuly mistake the
facts. It is charity to call their
assertion plain falsehood, for it is
a deliberate lie, uttered with the in
tention to deceive many persons.
Rural free delivery had it's origin
under the Harrison administration
and Postmaster General Wanna
maker was it's father. He pro-
posed and established the first ex-
perimental route. When the demo-
Gratis came into power under Presi-
dent Cleveland they did everything
possible toskill rural free delivery;
in fact, they absolutely refused to
expend any of the $40, ZOO congress-
ional appropriation for it's nourish-
ment and both iPostmasters Bissell
and Wilson, in their annual reports,
did their utmost to discredit it.
President Cleveland also threw cold
water on it in a hostile message to
congress. c When Mckinley became
president, \ rural free delivery was
pushed.to the front as republican
policy. This policy has been
continued under President Roose-
welt until now there are 27, 500
routes in operation. No farmer
need be deceived by Democracys
false claims, for the record shows
that to republicans alone belongs
the credit of inaugurating and fost@
ering mail service that is Of in
calculable benefit to the rural COM.
munities.

Notice to Subscribers

Owing to the great increase in
the number of subscribers to the
Herald the past year it has become
necessary to purchase a new sub
scription book which will accom-
modate record for 5000 names.
All present accounts will be trans
ferred to the new book from the old
one. which has been in use for the
past decade, and we should like to
have every subscriber enrolled upon
the new book with clean, up-to"
date account with the paper.
The process of transferring will
be closed prior to Jan. LIST, and in
the meantime every patron in ar
rears will receive statement of his
account in order that all may be-
come acquainted exactly as to their
standing, and be given an oppor-
tunity to start out the new year
right in so far as indebtedness to
the Herald is concerned.
The new subscription book is the
latest perfected record for proper
keeping of subscription accounts
and is especially made for the Her
aid. 1t will be of sufficient size to
accommodate this paper for another
decade and it behooves all patrons
to make an effort to be tabled in
advance or as nearly up to date as
possible.

Inyents Everlasting Light.

A light of thirty-six candle-power,
which, it is claimed, will never go out,
has been discovered by an inventor
named Magrady in London. While ex-
perimenting with Photographic chemi-
calls some years ago Magrady's atten-
ton was attracted by glow in small
globe. The glow was caused by a
chemical which the discoverer keeps
a secret. Magrady enlarged the glow
and perfected the light by placing it
in an alright glass. He says there is
no reason why the light will not re-
main brilliant forever if the glass is
not broken. A company has been
formed to manufacture the light in va
rious sizes. A patent hood fits over
the light and hides it when the light is
not needed.

JOSEPH w. BABCOCK..
CONTINUED FROM PAGE / J

thorough and systematic methods
were demonstrated in a particular
ly striking manner by his conduct
OF the campaign of 1894 which re-
suited in the overwhelming defeat
of Democracy in November of that
year and restored to the Republi-
cans the control of Congress. In
1898 Representative Babcock was
a candidate for election to the
United State from the State of Wis
corsin, and sought to resign the
Guardianship of the Republican
National Congressional Committee.
This proposed retirement raised a
storm of protest from Representa-
tive BabcOck's colleagues in the
House of Representatives who had
come to have implicit faith in his
ability to lead them to victory, and
finally President Mckinley, hearing
OF Representative Babcock's deci-
sion, made strong personal re
quest, amounting almost to de-
mand, that he reconsider the matter.
The Chief Magistrate set forth the
great necessity for Republican
Congress to deal with the grave
questions growing out Of the Span
lsh War and the annexation of
Hawaii, all undertaken by Re-
publican administration. IT think,
Mr.. Babeock," urged the President,
that existing conditions require
you to sink your personal wishes,
and again take hold and conduct
the campaign for Congress. There
can be but one valid excuse for you
declining it, and that is the con-
dition of your health. With your
previous experience in the manage
ment of campaigns, and the prestige
of the success you have acquired in
the work already done for the party,
you can win the campaign for the
control of Congress, if any man
can" Under such circumstances
Representative Babcock laid aside
personal inclinations and, entering
heart and soul upon what was
generally regarded as the most
perplexing and burdensome cam
palgn of the generation, justified
the Presidents confidence by doing
what had been done but once before
since the Civil War, saving the ad-
ministration in an ''off Year" from
the general hostility of an opposi-
ton Congress.
When Hon. T. B. Reed retired as
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, Mr.. Babcock was one of the
most active managers in promoting
the candidacy of Hon. D. B. Hen
derson. This contest resulted in the
unanimous election of Mr.. Hender-
son, and, while the Republican
majority in the House was only
thirteen, business was handled
promptly and without serious de-
lays, and the cordial support given
Speaker Henderson enabled him to
make most enviable record as
presiding officer Of the House.
Upon the retirement of Speaker
Henderson, Mr.. Babcock's many
friends urged him to become a can
didate for Speaker of the Fifty
eight Congress. He received the
solid Endorsement of the Wisconsin
delegation in caucus, as we'll as that
of the State of Maryland, and as
surances of strong support from
many other States. Northumberland
ing this, Mr.. Babcock, after careful
