OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
Providence Protects the Democracy.

Did you happen to see two Jefferson
Day speeches, both delivered in New
York, one by Mr.. Parker, who tried
without success to be President, and
the other by Mr.. Herrick, who tried
without success to be Governor of
New York State?
These two speeches we're printed
side by side in the columns Of the
New York Sun.
The Sun, you know, thinks that
"the earth is the trusts and the full
ness thereof"
Parker and Herrick said about the
same thing.
They said in effect that the Govern
ment should confine itself to prevent
ing the poor man from robbing the
rich man.
They expressed deep horror at the
anarchistic socialism, disguised as
public ownership, which would pre-
vent rich men from robbing poor men.
Herrick and Parker are agreed that
the business of government is to keep
the rich rich and let the Others take
care of themselves.
They both think that the way to
manage republic is to keep the peo-
pie from owning their own property,
in order that few very big rich men
may own it for them.
The Sun approves of these two
speeches, and SO do we.
That is to say, we approve OF them
as coming from two men who FAILED
In their efforts to get elected.
In these two speeches, rejecting the
lnmost hearts of Herrick and Parker,
we see that Providence is on the side
of the Democracy.
You will notice that these two men
not only failed to get elected to office
which means that they won't have
a chance to interfere with the will OF
the people, as the people IS representa-,
tiveS-
But, in the effort to get Office, they
also got off the bench-which means
that they will not be able as Judges TO
interpret the laws to mean what they
think-which is exactly the reverse
of what the people think.
1t is good thing to identify all of
the so-called Democrats who think
that the people have no right to man
age their own affairs.
Ali real Democrats are indebted to
the unseen Wisdom which prompted
Herick and Parker to leave the bench,
under the impression that they could
get Democrats to elect them.
They are nice men, of course-they
mean we'll.
But the trouble with both Of then
is that in their eyes dollar looks bl
and man looks little.
Each of them now is in his prope
sphere, working as corporation law
yer along the lines laid down in tn
two speeches that the Sun quoted
Chicago American.

Strange Form Of Insanity.

The whole world is crazy in one
direction or another. A perfectly
sane person is a miracle-that is, a
violation of the laws of nature. l
know of retired millionaire In New
York, aged seventy, who married a
sweet young woman of twenty-three.
That in itself is not extraordinary
or even criminal. The wife is the
most patient of creatures, humoring
the venerable husbands every whlm.
He is as crazy as loon, or two looms.
He imagines he is bird, and his
nightly diversion is to stick a bunch
of feathers in the hem of his pa
jamas and prance about the room,
growing and tapping his wings,
while his wife from her coy corner
cries encouragingly: Pretty bird
Pretty bird. Pretty bird" This
foolishness is kept up until he falls
exhausted.-New York Press.

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies and on
their failure pronounced it incura,
BILE. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure

A Night Shift Bee.

The old joke about the man who
crossed his bees with lightning bugs,
that they might see to work at
night, appears to have been realized
in India, where an unusually large
species gather honey only m the
nighttime.
There are many night blooming
flowers in that country, and this
bee apparently finds no difficulty in
gathering his store, for it is record
ed that the combs frequently reach
a height of six feet.
1t is not stated that the honey is
Of food value, and its use for human
consumption is to be questioned,
since many of the night Towering
plants possess strongly narcotic
properties. - S.

from Miles Dickey, Panhandle en-

but not until recently did the hoofs
grow on its feet, and the owner is
at loss to know how to account
for them. The growth has appeared
on all four feet and is as hard as
horn. When the dog walks across
the board floor of the saloon where
it is kept there is a sound like the
pattering of a couple of children
with wooden shoes. - Indianapolis
