Montour Democrats Name Ticket

The Democrats of our neighboring
county Montour, meet in convention
at Danville on Monday and endors-
ed the following ticket:
County commissioners, Clarence
Seidel and George NJ. Leighow:
District Attorney, Major ChAs. P.
Gearhart: Associate Judge, Frank
G. Blue: County Auditor, Thos.
Vansant.
Clarence Seidel was made one Of
the nominees for County Com
missioner on the first ballot, but the
selection of the other candidate was
hotly contested. Five ballots were
taken without result and then the
matter had to be settled by the
popular vote. This showed that
Leighow had received 377 at the
primaries and Andrew Billmeyer
3II which of course made the form
er the choice.
The following resolution among
others was adopted.
Inasmuch as this Congressional
District has been won over by the
Republican Party by an unusually
big majority, it behooves the Dem
ocratic Party to put forth its best
and strongest man in order to bring
it back into line in 1906: therefore
be it resolved that the Convention
endorse Hon. Alexander Billmeyer.
who so ably represented us IN the
end Session of the 57th Congress,
to be the candidate in this County
in 1906, to represent US in the next
Congressional Conference.

Frog Season Opens July |.

There is law protecting frogs
and to capture one out Of season
will incur heavy penalty. Frogs
may be killed or captured only be-
tween July Ist and November Ist.
The law provides for fine oftwen-
ty-hve dollars for every violation.
The fines collected are to be turned
over to the school district. Those
who are catching frogs at present
are running a big risk.

POLITICS.

Politics is, defined to be "the
science of government. The
dictionaries that still cling to that
obsolete definition are in need OF
immediate revision. Politics of to-
day is 1.-THE science of securing a
public office" 1t is a game OF
"you tickle me and L II tickle you. "
"You help me into an Office this
fine and I'll help you there next
time. Combinations are formed
everywhere, and offices are parcel
led out for years to come by the
gangs, and men who are not in the
ring stand no earthly show of Sue
cess. 1t is so in Pennsylvania
where the Republicans have count
ed whelming majorities for
years past. 1t is SO IN Philadelphia,
the hot-bed of Republicanism. 1t is
so in New York, where Democratic
Tamany rules the roost, and it has
been so in Columbia County to a
large extent. People lose sight
Of the fact that public office is Great
ed for the purpose of transacting
the public business, and that those
who are selected to fill the offices,
are the servants of the public, who
are put there to guard the interests
of the people. The first considera-
ton in the choice of a public official
should be: Is he competent topper
form the duties of the office? Is he
all honest and upright citizen who
will serve the public faithfully, and
who will conduct the Office not
merely for the purpose of getting
cut of it all there is in it for hi H.
self, regardless of the rights of the
public?
The second consideration should
be: Is he a consistent member OF
the party from whom he is asking
favors? Has he supported the state
and national tickets of that party
in years past' Nothing can dis.
rupt party more than the fact
that it bestows its favors on men
who have not been loyal to it at all
times.
In the present canvass voters
should be governed chiefly in the
selection of the candidate they vote
for, by these three things: compe-
tency, honesty and loyalty. If you
know a man fails in any one of
these points, do not vote for him.
If man is comIe:ent, honest and
loyal, it does not always follow that
he should be nominated. Where
several are seeking the same office,
all may measure up to this standard, :,
and then some other rule must de-
eide betweenthem. Every voter must
use his own judgment in the mat
ter. Above all, do not vote fo- a
man simply because "he is a good
fellow" or she needs the money"
Vote for him only because you be-
lieve he will best serve the people
whose money pays his salary.
If we can only get back to these
principles, we shall again be able to
say that politics is the science Of
government, and not merely the
plaything of Doodle politicians.

D. II. Weyant, well known in this
city, then presented his proposition to
establish a paint manufacturing estab-
lishment in this city. Among other
things, he said:
"I have lived in Salem and this
county for many years, and would
rather establish my plant in Salem
than in Portland, where inducements
have already been made. +"
According to Mr.. Weyant, he and
those associated with him have ~
acres of mineral paint land near Eu.
gene. and which contains 81 natural
colors. This is called pigment or min
eral paint, and the amount that is
produced in this country is only 10
per cent Of the amount consumed. The
rest is shipped in from Italy, and the
duty on Il is cents per pound, thus
showing that II the mineral exists in
such quantities and quality as Mr..
weyant and his testimonials state, 1t

fair, and won the grand prize. A paint

charm. For another child. Ethel offered
prize every week for the greatest number OF
times over ten that she had controlled her in
clination TO whine. and gave her little book
marked off into squares; one page was TO con-
tain the number of whines the other the times
she had stiffed a whine. At the end of each
week l examined the book and 1 found the dear
little conscientious soul made such good be-
ginning that at the end OF a month she was
nearly cured Of her habit. This self-cor-
rection and seIf-managenent. Another child,
Robbie treated in quite different way. When
his whining fit knew he was tired,
worn out and peevish so I led him by the hand
to the bathroom undressed him and gave him
a hot BATH put him to bed, and he generally
slept an hour. When he awoke he refreshed
and the whine in his voice had all disappeared.
Another child, Alice I took up in my lap and
told her a story, and she lost all the whine in
her voice. Another child, Ella, I studied. and
found that she generally whined when she was
not dressed properly when she too hot
or too cold, too tight, and Immediately
changed the conditions of her clothing and ex-
planned TO her how her physical unrest was af-
fecting her mental state of mind and tone of
voice Another child Albert whom we called Al.
mimicked out of the habit of whining l knew
he had caught the habit from some one else,
for his initiative powers were very strong, but
he did not like to be made fun OF or initiated
himself, so he became cured OF his disa-
greeable habit

Generally in the case of boys the temper is hot
and RACES hercely while II lasts, and immediate
action is necessary, first by drawing the atten-

and all rules made in family should be ar

we can hope to succeed In rightly disciplining it.
