not approve OF the republican platform.
They eritieise and say many displeasing
things concerning that great state paper
Of republican principles. Its so unusual.
and novel. too. for democratic organs to
crtieise republican policies. We haven't
heard Of such thing since the last pol
itical campaign. The fact is the republi-
can party does not need much OF plat
form this year Of grace. About the only
political issue is Theodore Roosevelt, and
not much OF anything else. The only quss-
ton for the American people TO decide in
November is. DO you want Theodore
Roosevelt for president for four years
moreP" He has proven equal TO the So
luton Of every problem that has arisen
during his administration. His life is
marked by consuming passion TO be
useful and TO be Just. He is not only
strenuous" but on the dead thievin'
square," requirements that he insists up
on and expects from every other public
servant. He has proved this abundan,ly
and the American people know 1t. Poll

Senator Tillman uttered a profound
truth when he stated that las, years eggs
in last years birds nest would not do
for Democratic platform for this cam
paign. He declared that the present need
is for new eggs in new nest. But the
difficulty will be in building nest that
will adjust itself to the various brands
of eggs which are under consideration.
MIR. Tilman likewise overlooks the fact
that eggs and nest are not the only es-

ing them after they are properly locs ted

The hail stones were big. ranging
from hens egg TO a foot in eireumfer-

Driven by a strong gale they pono-
trated deeayed shingles. awnings and the
sides Of houses. There is scarcely an un-
broken window light nor scream on tho
north side Of any house in Lamar. Dents
werc made in metal roofs. Trees were
stripped Of small limbs and foliage and
fruit was almost totally destroyed.
~ colt was killed in the street and
horses and cows stampeded.
Telephone wires are down everywhere
and 1t is impossible to learn what damage
was done in tho country. The electric
wires are also down and the town is in

Three persons were injured. L. c. Bar

and his scalp was torn looose by giant
hailssone. Mrs. Perdue was struck in
the left side by a haistono while trying
to cover her windows and suffered a
broken rib. Mrs. Smith received several
scalp wounds and hao an ankle and

which were picked up after tho storm
measured 6 inches in dametert?l.
The Lamar mill suffered damage of
$4,000 to building and contents. All the
north windows are destroyed and the
roofs were riddled. exposing the stored

FIRE FOR NOT VOTING.

L RNEST H. WALLACE. a. member Of
l. the New York legislature. has in.
troduced a bill making it a crime TO re-
train from voting and fixing the penalty
at fine of not less than s. nor more
than $40. A state election agent Is. pro-
posed in the, bill lie and his deputies
will go over the voting lists ana when
they lind man who registered and
voted in one election fails to vote in
the next succeeding election they are
authorized 10 collect from him q fne az
once.
Mr.. Wallace is satisfied that the pas
sage of his bill win result in getting
out the fun vote in every election.
Well, it's poor rule that WON'T work
both ways. If a voter is to be fined for
not voting once he should be rewarded
for voting more than once. If he votes
twice he should be paid s. or SO. and
If he votes three or four times his re-
ward should be increased proportionate.
y. II Mr.. Wallace wants a heavy vote
cast in every election that's the way
TO bring it about
Seriously, though we doubt il the bill
viii have the desired effect Suffrage Is
a privilege, rather than a right. and II
is difficult To compel any one 10 take
advantage of privilege. It IS the duty
Of every citizen 10 vote, but it is also
the duty Of every citizen to respect the
rights of his fellow citizen. You can't
legislate a sense Of duty into any man.
The individual who doesn't want TO
vote isn't going TO vote in order to es-
cape being fined. He viii be able to
find plenty Of excuses for not voting.
Besides. voting is a matter OF con
science, anyway.
Every candidate on q ballot may be
Objectionable to a voter. Is it right 10
compel him to vote for one or more OF
them? We rather think not. The re-
form that is most needed is a reform in
our system OF making nominations. II

ries and conventions and 50 bring about

win be easy.
