WE SIT UP AND
TAKE NOTICE
az the Pcculiaritics Regarding the
Ways of Some Politicians I'm
Isluefield.

Owing tn the Leader being a new
enterprise and young i'm knowledge
OF Blueteld customs and courses in
municipal elections. We have learned
much concerning the peculiar perfor-
mances OF rings and factions during
the recent campaign. and. since a
victory. in name. for the Republi-
canism, we are trying to- take notice
also, IL we can. as TO where the plums
drop. Everyone knows the crop was
matter OF procuring votes was at
hand and IL will be rather interesting
Co see the outcome.
The colored people. overw helming-
~ strong in the fourth aud fifth
wards. must have received great
promises from their so-called tradi-
tional party to have prevented them
from electing one OF their native col
or over Hauley In the fifth ward and
also over Feltz, who IL is claimed was
"a nonresident. and was elected in the
fourth ward.
II would be unwise to say or ad-
NIT that money alone resulted in
this submission OF the colored folk
AS We really believe there are lead
ers of the blacks in these two wards
who are property owners and would
not dispose OF their influence and
rights in matters so vital for mere
compensation. We are wathching to
see il II will develop, or If II can
be known just how this trick was
turned. knowing that at the Repub-
lican convention the colored people
were in excessive evidence as voters.
Especially was this the case from the
fourth and firth wards, and colored
councilmen would have been nomi-
mated from both OF these wards had
1T not been for the unusual shrewd-
ness OF the white minority.
Aside from all this. there are many
porrnIses standing to Republicans
whom ii seems nave been run over,
down trodden in the past by the
leaders-more commonly known as
ringsters-of the party. How many
OF these sores will be healed and
how many doubly irritated by tail
ur and inability TO make good is
also "a question.
The wardheeler, the policeman,
etc, who hold such promises as GER
tain improvements at the city's ex-
pense, job, taking care of friend.
and even down TO the dive where
noaters have ben promised to be let
alone" when the poker room is open
ed after the new administration, in
turn for services in election, must
necessarily, too. receive some little
disappoint
es. it may be said we sit up and
take notice and from what we see
and hear the coming year, If no more
will be corrupt one to place to
the credit of honest people and tax
payers according TO indications.

Marriage

God made the man for the woman and the woman for the man. Each is incomplete without the other. In our experience even those who have married indifferently will have de- veloped completer and nobler char acters than those who have remained single. Marriage teaches both the man and woman tolerance, patience, tenderness. It lulls the passions and stimulates the intelligence. When there are children the noblest virtues and asperations are aroused. Father and mother are united in the desire to do their utmost for the helpless little ones who depend upon them altogether, and make life fresh and young and beautiful for them.
 There are certain men no woman should dare to marry. She would not dare to marry a man she does not love, no matter how exemplary his character and how attractive his bank account. Happiness ir marriage is first and foremost de pendent upon the individual and his power of not simply respect, but the deepest and completest devotin. The man who would make one woman devinely happy would make another miserable, because he is not her mate, and the good Lord never made her to dwell with him There must be that congenality that sympathy, that inexpressible something that men call love, that accepts its mate altogether, ignor' ing all faults bearing all thing: enduring all things, never failing tenderness and loyalty even though the whole world should turn against he beloved one. Such love k worth waiting for and worth living for. To most women there is mol much else in the world worth living for-and to most men, also since il is the only sure basis for permanent happiness.
 No matter how much woman may think she loves him, she should not dare to marry a dissipated man True love is rooted and grounded il respect. A woman may pity pro foundly man of weak character but she cannot love him. Pity il so akin to love that women are de ceived by it into the belief that i is a real devotion. But it will no last. It is no proper foundation fo the married state. The more inti mate your relations with dissipat ed man, the more wothless h. seems. He is like a rotten brancl that the first wind will sweep to tn ground. There is no dependenc upon him, no pleasure in him, n true love for him.
