Grant Harrington, Of HiaWatha,
thinks that a great Democratic uphea-
val viii occur in the year 1908: that W.
J. Bryan will be elected president of the
United States, and that Kansas will go
Democratic from top to bottom.
Il am free to confess" said Mr.. Har-
rtngton today. that 7 don't see much
hope for the Democratic party in Kan
sas in the coming state campaign. We
seem to be up against it pretty hard.
But just wait two years. Then you
viii see something happen. I want to
predict that BRYAN will be the next pres
ident, and that every Democratic can
didate in Kansas will ride into Office on
the tidal wave of Democratic success.

/ date for governor. tsIt has been years
since there has been such a unaninity
! between the members of the various
factions of the Democratic party IN
the state. In fact there are no fac-
tons now. The old line Democrats
and the great majority of the old
Populists are becoming united this
year in way that they have not been
for ten years. This is particularly
true of Franklin county and the same
conditions are developing all over the
state. We expect to carry Franklin
county this year, and there is the most
hopeful feeling on all sides that this
IS the year for Democratic victory
in the state. As to my being a candi-
date for governor" said Mr.. Morgan,
in reply to a question to that effect,
Il guess the mention of my candidacy
IS nothing more than a compliment
from a few close friends"
Democracy at X. q.
A veritable hotbed of Democracy is
eXtant at Kansas university. There is
Democratic club there which boasts
OF an enrolment of forty-five members
from the student body. Seven of them,
headed by Dennis J. Sheedy of Ere
donia, president CT the club and who is
to respond to toast at the banquet,
came up from Lawrence todav to par
ticipate in the festivities With Nj
Sheedy are John W. Blood. w J.
Luckey. Ernest Disney, George Benson.
T. F. Perry and Everett Eyler All of
this DELEGATION are the most enthusi-
astic sort of Democrats and they say
that the members of the club who did
not come are just as enthusiastic as
they are. This club meets on the first
and third Saturdays of each month,
when Democratic men and doctrines
are discussed and Mr.. Sheedy said to-
day that every member of the club
would be at the disposal of the state
Democratic organization for any kind
of work in the campaign this fall.
senator Hodges Is Cheerful.
Senator G. H Hodges of Olathe,

down there will be just as Democratic
this year as they were two years ago,

Ex-Ambassador Choate was discuss
ing an awkward error that had been
committed by a senator.
"The man reminded me-" he said,
"of a Sunapee farm hand at q Christ
mas feast.
THE leading farmer at Sunapee
gave a grand Christmas dinner to his
forty helpers.
"There was roast turkey, roast
goose, cranberries, pumpkin and
mince pies, hot doughnuts with hot
maple sugar, plum pudding-a feast.
And before certain tall and
strong farm hand Platter containing

REFORM THE MEN FIRST.

". M. JdCkSOn Ill OldJe JOuTHdl.)
Clara Morris has come to the res
cue of the chorus girl. She declares
the chorus girls are not vampires,
seeking to fasten themselves upon
helpless victims; they are not sirens
striving to decoy and destroy the hap
less and gilded youth of America
While she admits that some chorus
girls are bad, she makes the claim
that they owe their position in society
to the work, evil work, of the men.
Clara declares that wealthy men are
to blame for the downfall of girls who
go on the stage, and in support of her
declaration recites an experience OIL
her own with man of money. There
is no need of going into the details OF
her anecdote, or paying further atten-
ton to the generalities of the story in
it's completeness.
She is right in her statements. We
may talk about woman, or a girl, 60
ing wrong all we please, but the fact
is the girl is only the victim; it is the
man who goes wrong. Behind the
wreck of every woman who falls is the
man, and the story of every nymph du
pave was written by man.
Women are not naturally evil. Wo.
men are naturally good. They show it
from the time when, as little girls,
they enter into life's activities. While
your boy is a rough and tumble fell
low, with a head full of mischief,
wants to scrap with his playmate and
is psrpetually conjuring up some ac-
ton calculated to get himself or some
one else into trouble, the girl, as a
rule, is gentle in manner and conduct
She grows up that way. She is re-
fined and tender. When she errs it is
because she has been tempted.
For ages humanity has been crap.

WHERE THE HAWTHORN Bios.
SONS BLOW.

(Song)
Where the hawthorn's spreading
branches
Overhang the ferns and fells,
Stands little white frame cottage
Wherein my sweetheart dwells.
All day she sews her dainty seam
But when the moonlight pale doth
CLEAN,
She wanders to the hawthorn tree
And counts the petals all for me.
Chorus.
He loves me-he loves me not"
Softly the petals tell her lot.
He loves me true, he loves me well,
He loves me better than words can

Can my secret thus impart,

Who has stolen away my heart,
Why need | for fear repine,
When | know that she is mine?

measurement. 1t welcomes to it's en-
brace the roue, no matter how morally
rotten he may be, but bids his para
mour to get herself to the gutter, even
though she may have sinned but once.
What is regarded in the woman as a
sin past forgiveness is overlooked in
the man as a mere indiscretion.
Strange as it may appear, women are
even worse than men in the infliction
of the ostracism that makes of fallen
girl a social pariah. While men are
often inclined to overlook errors OF
this sort, a woman who is ready to
forgive her unfortunate sister is an
exception to the rule.
If mothers and fathers would only
teach their boys that they are entitled
TO lead just as pure lives as their sis
ters, and all humanity was to engage
in the work, in two or three genera
tons at best, conditions in this re-
spect would be greatly improved. But
so long as the young men are led to
believe that they have the right to
ruin, either by solicitation or by pur-
chase; so long as society tolerates the
man and turns away the erring part
ner of his sin, just so long will the
rave and complex problem, which has
been and will be the subject of so
many ringing resolutions" and de
termined actions" exist.
Clara Morris is right and we all
know that she is right; yet knowing
she is correct in her views and prem
ses, 1t is fair to presume that most of
us will content ourselves with the sat
lsfaction of having-in our minds
agreed with her, after which we will
dismiss the subject.
Because, after all, what are few
girls? Nothing. Suppose they do go
| lstray. Let's charge it up to destiny,
d say such things always have existed
md always will. Tell the poor, sin
sick creatures that Jesus paid it ALL :"
or something of the sort, and advise
them to quit. That fulfills our duty.
If they keep on going from bad to
worse, until finally they end their
lives by going the morphine route, we
can say: 81 warned her, but she
wouldn't listen" And then we can
sigh deeply and so peacefully, and, if
it should happen to be right after din
ner, why, we can draw the paper over
our faces and keep off the flies and
have such a nice little nap, filled with
visions of how good we are to our
hayward ones. Consoling, itsn't it?

N. r. Ansel Gaining In Charleston.

In letter to The Courier from Hon.
John d. Cappelmann, of Charleston, he
takes occasion to say:
OF course endorse all you said last
week about M. +. Ansel for Governor.
As a native Of Oconee am going to do
all can for him, and am glad to note
that the number of his supporters are
increasing all over the State. He will
get heavy gots il Charleston, where ne
has many friends and kins-people. His
ambition to be Governor is laudable. AS
Governor he would wear tho honors with
a genuine appreciation of the dignity of
the Office and with all his energies bent
on being of service to the State. His
4'home rule" platform gives assurance
that the best interests of all the people
of the State will be his chief concern.
The people of the Eighth judicial Cir
cult know him we'll. What they thought
of him was shown by the numbe, Of
times they elected him as Solicitor. His
popularity is not such as that Of mere
politician. He is popular where he is
known, because he is sincere and trust
worthy. l believe he will be elected
Governor. John D. Cappelmapn.

Prompt Action 0utwits Mob.

Louisville, Ca, August But for the
prompt action of Deputy Sheriff Willis
Clark in ruseing him off, Will Adkins, a
negro about II years of age, would pos
sibly have been lynched yesterday at
Speed, Ga, for attempting a criminal
assault on an old lady in that vicinity.
The negro was landed safely in Jail here.
The lady on whom the attempted
criminal assault was made, in order to
capture the negro, practically kept the
matter secret for two or three days unti.
the officers of the law could lay hands on
him.
When the crime became known, the
citizens in the immediate neighborhood
became infuriated and If the negro had
not been hustled off immediately he
would probably have been lynohed.

His Wiie's Body Found in Well.

Dillon, August 5.-At an early hour
White Hamilton was found in the lot
well on their premises, where it had
been since last Tuesday morning.
On that day Whit Hamilton, farmer
living about two miles from here, came
into town, bringing with him his little
daughter. the only child, leaving the
wife and mother alone. She had ex-
pressed some opposition to having the
child accompany the father, fearing, as
she said, that the horse might become
frightened at the automobiles and the
child be injured, and even said if the
father persisted in carrying the little
girl she would leave homo. Mr., Hamil-
ton playfully and banteringly offered her
$40, saying he bet she wouldn't leave.
When he returned home a few hours
later there was no trace Of his wife. He
saw that she had evidently changed her
clothing and he found the $40 sticking in
the fob pocket of the pair of pants he
had laid aside that morning.
BY having changed her dress the i'm
preston was made that she had left
home, but the most diligent search
failed to give the slightest clue to her
whereabouts.
Last evening after dark Lot Jackson.
a white laborer on the place, in watering
the stock, detected an unusual odor at
the we'll, which he attributed to the hog
wallow, and it also occurred to him that
the bucket was harder to sink and fill
than usual. Without the remotest sus-
picion, however, as to the true cause of
both conditions, he went homo.
Very early this morning the distracted
husband, who since the mysterious dis
appearance of his wife, while not away
hunting for her, has been staying at his
fathers, only about 100 yards away,
walked over to his home. Mechanically
perhaps going to the well to water his
stock, the gruesome spectacle of the dead
body of his wife floating on the top of
the water, met his Mortified gaze, dead
yearly one week.

a Gard from Senator Earle.

AS there has been some public discus.
sion of the condition of public roads In
this county, and complaint about the de.
fects of the law, desire to express the
views which / entertain, and have for
many years entertained, upon this sub
ject. s@
In 1894 this matter was discussed
throughout the campaign by the candi-
dates for the House of Representatives,
and the result of that was the enactment
into law Of what was at that time thought
to be the popular will-the payment of a
Communication tax of one dollar or four
days work. This has been changed q
number OF times since then, and in 1901
it was changed in this county, making
the Communication tax three dollars or the
road duty six days. This law was again
modified in 1902, making the commuta-
tion tax one dollar or the road duty eight
days. In 1904 this law was again changed,
leaving it in the discretion of the County
Board Of Commissioners to fix any num-
ber of days, not less than two nor more
oh"h OiSueS nha ohy ld4,
not less than one nor more than three
dollars.
Now, in view of the legislation upon
this subject and the position which 1
have taken in public and in private
speech, do not think it would be proper
to change the present law. which pro-
vides road duty of two days or COM
mutation tax in lieu thereof of one dol
lar. My reasons for this are, 1 think,
generally known, as I have expressed
them many times. In the first place, to
the man who has neither hoof nor wheel
to use public road, it would seem
great hardship to impose upon him the
duty of constructing and maintaining
highways for the use of vehicles and the
benefit of property. He may get some
very remote benefit from the public
highways, but he can get none directly,
and while he gets possibly some benefit,
all that he has is his labor, which he
property.
In Oconee county, think, there are
between five and six thousand persons
liable to road duty. and dollar each,
or its equivalent in labor, from them will
raise, say five thousand dollars. One
mill tax on the taxable property of the
county will raise something over four
thousand dollars. Now THE proportion,
it seems to me, is argument enough in
favor Of a communication tax of not more
than one dollar.
Our public roads are not in. as good
condition as we desire, it is true, but I
do not believe that stirring up the dirt
or scratching about over the roads is the
solution Of the question with US. When
ever the people who use tho roads will,
instead OF putting two-thousand pound
load on one and three-qnarter tire, put
the two-thousand pound load on three
and one-half to four-inch tire, the road
question for this county will be solved
desire to express myself in this way
because do not feel that the people of
the county have any choice in voting in
this election upon the issue.
Respectfully, j. r. Earle.
