A W0SD TO REPUBLICANS.

1t is this month-this month every
NO years that the Democratic Of
ficeseeker in Grant county makes it
his business to coddle the Republi-
can voter. Election day is fast ap-
preaching and the Democrat needs
the Republican and his vote for
purposes Of his own, and during
these beautiful October days he isn't
at all backward about coming for
ward and asking for 1t.
Now Just a word to the Republi-
can voters.
Your party has nominated men
Tor the varions county offices who
are q credit to themselves. to you
and to the entire community. They
are every one of them upright,
earnest, square and honest men of
ability. They will make painstak-
ing and efficient officials. They
stand for an economical and bust
aess-like administration of the
county's affairs. They stand for
what you stand for politically, and
they are your candidates, your
friends. They have perfect right
to expect your undivided support at
the POLLS, not only because they are
Republicans, but because they are
as well if not better qualified to
perform the duties of the offices to
which they aspire than are their OPP
Saonents. This is a fact. Compare
4es candidates frankly as fair
minded man and you cannot fail TO
reach this conclusion.
ard such being the case, gently
ant firmly turn the Democrat down
who approaches you asking for a
rsvor which can be granted only at
rss expense of your own friends.
Consider how much use the Demo
c--at has for Republicans when
.a.4ction day is past. Isn't it a fact
-ecs.r after the campaign is over he
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1906-10-13

is a Democrat first, last and all the
time? Isn't it a fact that after he
has used you he will discuss with
his Democratic brethren the mum Der
of Republican legs he succeeded in
pulling and chuckle in glee at the
pleasant recollection?
Republicans, stand by your guns
as solidly and as firmly as do the
Democrats stand by theirs. Your
party has presented for your support
worthey men. Vote for them.

The Other Side of Ben
T'illman

Ben" Tillman, loling back in an
armchair, is one personality. Senator
Benjamin r. Tillman, on the floor OF
thing entirely different. Tho con .rdst
I is wonderful. but unstudied.
There is no individuality in Ameri-
| can public life so ungroomed and
earthly as Tillman. Beneath the
Tousled hair, behind the solitary
brown eye, is an intellect colossal and
majestic, contemptuous of the exalta-
tions of position, despising all pIa-
looming of self, inveighing against
whatever savors of sham and hum
bug.
Tillman dearly loves the hardships
of steadfast principles, and revels In
the hardest forms of righteous fa-
tired of lies and liars. He Is anything
but a novitiate: still he Is extraordi-
nary and a surprising proposition in
the geometry of suddenness. He Is
neither clever nor ponderous. But he
bends with no sycophancy, shakes
with no vacillation, snaps with no
disloyalty, wobbles with no irresolu-
ton. His intellectual weapons are
wit, satire, invective, irony and scorn,
welded with the edge of daring and
the swirl Of strength.
In the senate chamber he always
clutches brand-unlit, aflame or
charred. He is tirelessly a-buckle
and ARRAY, spurred and ungloved, a
storm-born blow-giver.
But, reclining in an armchair, at
his ease, his mind undisturbed by the
fumes of the day that has died, unagi-
tated by the expectations of the day
unborn, mischievous smile playing
about his mobile lips, the responsible
ties of craftsmanship laid aside, the
strife, conflicts and struggles of pub
lie life for the moment abandoned,
with just the sweet sympathy of his
little family circle to calm him, the
undisguised admiration of the woman
sitting opposite him, the playful hu-
NOR of his domestic side, and you
have another and distinctively oppo-
site Tillman. A tender mildness
comes into the brown eye; a musical
cadence pervades the worn voice; and
a languor that constitutes positive
luxury to this glutton of labor,
thought and toll converts into relax
alton the exhausting tensions of a
mammoth organis moi nerves.-wil-

red man was for many years the white
mans friend, and now that they are
few and we are many. let us remem-
Der only the deeds OF kindness of
their race and aid them to fulfill the
purpose for which they are created.
At this time when we do honor to a
great pioneer in particular and by so
doing do honor to all pioneers in gem

poet, Joaquin Miller addressed to the
New Oregon, seem to be appropriate:
Young men, strong men. there is work
to be done;
Faith to be cherished, battles to

Victories won were never we'll won
Save fearlessly won for God and

Have faith, such faith as your fathers

All else must follow II you have but

Be true to their faith, and you must
be true.

CONDEMN SEPTIC TANKS.
Yakima Board of Health Demands
Better Sewerage

After an investigation Of the septic
sewage tank at Vancouver, b. c.. the
state board of health special commit
tee will recommend to the state board
of health that all the cities of the
state be compelled to adopt some kind
of method that will do away with
the dumping of sewage that has not
been purified into the streams. saws
the Yakima Republic. The septic
sewage tanks alone have been de-
clared impracticable.
The board will hold a meeting in
July and will order the building of a
septic sewage tank at one of the state
institutions, probably Walla Walla, as
an experiment. This will test the eff
ficiency of such plant in the inland
cities.
The committee making the investi-
CATION decided that the septic plant
alone is not practical for inland
towns without filtering plant in con-
nection with it.
