things that l have said against
the methods pursued to advance
his candidacy. 1t was plain and
deliberate attempt to deceive the
party. The New York platform
was vague and purposely so, be-
cause the advocates of Judge
Parker were trying to secure
votes from among the people who
would have opposed his views
had they known them. The
nomination was secured, there
fore, by crooked and indefensi-
BILE methods. THE Commoner,

Bryan's view of platform 81
shall not misrepresent the situa-
ton, or appeal for votes for the
ticket upon false grounds. A
Democratic victory will mean
very little, if any, progress on
economic questions so long as the
party is under the control of the
Wall Street element. The
labor plank as prepared by Judge
Parker's friends on the sub-com-
mittee was a straddling, mean
ingless plank. The nomi-
nation of Judge Parker virtually
nullifies the antitrust plank. .

THE COUNTY DEBT.

The democratic party, so called,
of Idaho county are pointing with
pride to their, to them, one SOL
itary achievement, the reduction
of the public debt; and under
normal conditions, this would be
a legitimate subject for general
felicitation by republicans as well
as democrats. But,when we stop
long enough in our self gratula-
tons over a good stroke of bus
mess to inventory our possessions
acquired at the expense of this
800, ZOO indebtedness, that swell
ed-up feeling of self satisfaction
is apt to collapse with the sud-
denness of a pricked bladder.
Where are the county assets?
Has it a court house to it's name?
Where is the public road situated
of any considerable Importance
built by any part of this debt?
Where is the bridge of any i'm
portance built or repaired by any
part of this debt?
It's a fact that while engaged
IN this epoch making stunt of
paying off the public debt, those
financiers permitted the most i'm
portant bridge in the county to
fall off its abuttments into Salm-
on river; and it was estimated at
the time that $1,000 would have
placed it in good condition.
1t is also d fact that a number
of bridges throughout the county
at this time have the commission
ers sign manual of incompe-
tency nailed on them, setting
forth the legend in Roman char
acters that they who drive across
them do so at their own risk
And all this time they are en-
gagged in paying off a debt incur
red for no obvious reason.
Would it not be a prouder boast
if these gentlemen could point to
a few paying mines which were
brought to that desirable stage
largely by the aid given them in
the matter of good transportation
facilities which could have been
done and still have reduced the
debt at least one half of what
they say the present reduction
totals Sized up in its true light
this, their proudest boast, takes
on the. characteristics of a boom

Some Quaint Traditions.

Berlin has some curious Christmas
traditions Thus, the clothes line
must not hang in the loft between
Christmas and New Years day ON
penalty of bad luck. Dreams dreamt
within the same period are sure to be
true. while children born on Christ
mas day will have the gift of proph-
ecy To insure wealth, people must
eat the roe of the carp on Christmas
Eve, because fish roe signifies money;
and scales from the Christmas carp
carried in the purse will keep it we'll
filled throughout the year. Herring
roe win suffice for those who are too
poor to buy carp. A less cheerful
practice is to make little sand heaps
with a thimble Tor each member of
the family on Christmas Eve. and
whoever's heap has fallen in by next
morning is sure to die during the
year

TIME BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
December Is the Most Inspiring
Part of All the
Year

The early weeks of the month OF
December are, in a way, the most in
spring of the year The inspiration
comes not from the outside, but from
within. 1t is not like the spring sea-
son, when the sap begins to flow in
trees and the blood to run with new
vigor in the veins; nor like bodied
summer, when all the world looks
green and fair and the spirit Of man
is filed with the glory of Gods beau
tiful world; nor like autumn, when
things animate and inanimate seem
to be settling down to rest after work
accomplished-the twilight of the year.
Unlike these. early December has a
distinct atmosphere of anticipation, as
OF a time of reckoning, as of a time
of reward. In every heart, in spite 81
the rush of business or the daily
work, there is a feeling akin to that
which in the old days we felt when
counting the days to the school vaca-
tiOn-and home, says the Indianapolis
news. The thought of Christmas days
is in the very air every day; a thou
sand things keep it in mind, from the
early-lighted shop windows filed with
their invitations to good cheer to the
happy look on many faces that testi-
fies TO some unselfish preparations
made. or making. that a friend
Christmas may be joyful.

THE BLUE CHRISTMAS"
A Little Incident That Occurred in
the Childhood of Miss Frances
Willard.

Among the beautiful and tender
memories of the happy childhood
which Frances Willard always counted
one Of the richest possessions of her
life was that of the blue Christmas"
Times had been hard that year, and
although actual want had not visited
the prairie home, there was no money
for gifts; and 10 tie father, i'll with
ague, things looked dark and gloomy.
But the children were not sick and
they did not know encouragement;
Christmas had always brought its gifts
before, why should it fail now? So
the two girls hung up their stockings,
and the brother put his book-strap on
the front door-knob.
OF course the gifts came. When in
all their lives had their mother ever
failed them? The next morning the
book-strap held Polloks Course of
Time" and each stocking contained a
few little sea shells long treasured by
the mother, an artificial flower and a
false curl, relics of a fashion Of Mrs.
Wizards younger days.
Poor, pathetic gifts they sound to
US, but to the happy, healthy hearted
little trio they were all that could be
desired, says the Youths Companion.
AS for entertainment, what could be
more full Of winter delight than going
to the woods and dragging home great
branches for the Christmas fire? To
Frances Willard the woman, looking
back through the years, those kindlin9
flames still shone win their old ra-
dance.
I'VE thought it was great fun" she
wrote, but father called it his blue
Christmas"
There are always, and always must
be, those who dwell upon the shadow
side OF the Christmas joy; not only
the very poor-to them more and more
each year warm hearts and eager
hands are sending the gladness-but
the men and women of narrow means
whose hard toll wins them no margin
for Iuxuries, or pleasures. Ones heart
must always be tender for the women
who have nothing to give at Christmas
time
Does not Miss Wizards memory OF
her happy Christmas bring a message
of hope to those whose purses are
empty? Children are the happy pos
SCISSORS of two magic powers which
those of older years too often lose
freshness of Imagination and a keen
zest for life A tiny homemade pres
ent and a holiday atmosphere, il it be
created by nothing more than 3
Christmas pie, will make the day 8
shining one in the child's memory.
