THE POINT OF THE PRovERB

An old proverb advises the shoe.
maker to stick to his last. It means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business he knows. To the farmer
It means, stick to your plow; to the
blacksmith, stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush.
When we make experiments out Of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
1t Is amusing, however, to remark
how every one Of us secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself.
The painter imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac-
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
Job Of painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one Of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate Of the Painters Union, ANY
body can slather paint" and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
"None Of your ready made mixtures
for me; I reckon / ought to know
how to mix paint"
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last" The fancy farmer"
can farm, Of course, but 1t is an ex-
pensive amusement. If 1t strikes him
as pleasant to grow Strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars a dozen, 1t
is form Of amusement, to be sure,
If he can afford 1t, but it's not farm
ing. II the farmer likes to slosh
around with a paint brush and can af-
ford the time and the expense Of hay
ing practical painter do the job
right pretty soon afterward, It's
harmless form Of amusement. II the
painters customers can afford to
stand for paint that comes off In half
the time 1t should, they have perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill in paint making. But
In none Of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last
There Is just one class Of men In
The world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
FOR doing 1t right; and that is the
paint manufacturers-th makers of
he standard brands of ready-prepared |
,aints. The painter mires paints; |
he paint manufacturer grinds them
ogether. In a good ready-prepared
,aint every particle of one kind of
pigment is forced to join hands with
particle of another kind and every
vt of solid matter is forced, as 1t
we're, to open its mouth and drink In
is share of linseed oil. That is the
My way good paint can be made, and
{ the painter knew how to do 1t he
las nothing at hand to do 1t with. A
aint pot and paddle are poor
ubstitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills
nd roller-mills.
The man who OWLS building and
eglects to paint 1T as often as 1t
eeds paint is only degree more
hort-sighted than the one who tries
D do his own painting or allows the
ainter to mix his paint for him.

manifest by the great movement now

considerably more than reasonably

that this factory always uses thoroughly ripe

PRESIDENT FOR STATEHOOD.
HIS FRIENDS SUGGEST RIDER
FOR AN APPROPRIATION BILL. i.

Washington, May %. = There has
been a revival of the discussion as to
whether the bill for the admission
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, as
1t passed the senate, will be made
a rider on an appropriation bill. This
talk has been going on for some time,
but was given more attention be-
cause the proposition was preached
by one Of the close friends of the
president. But no suggestion of this
kind was made by the president, so it
was stated. The president is anxious
that statehood bill shall be passed
in some form, it is said, but has made
no suggestion as to the method of Sc
curing action.

satisfaction in Mclean county at
one or two meetings held this week

sembled and shivered while the ex-
congressman related the iniquities

the state, knowledge of which came
to the ex-congressman stimuli
taneously with his defeat of re-
nomination. It is not stated
whether the ex-congressman made
any explanation of the mileage

Dan Hermann: Came from

else). Has had much trouble in

partment and the patrons of the

The following decision is from
Assistant Attorney General Phil
brick relating to who can perform
the marriage rites and also who
can issue marriage licenses:
"That only judges of courts of
record and justices of the peace
and ordained ministers are author
ICED by law to marry people. The
act of solemnizing marriage is a
judicial one; SO is the act of issuing
the license. The clerk cannot per-
form a marriage ceremony; the
judge Of the county court is not
authorized to have a deputy. For
the same reason the clerk cannot
issue a marriage license, that is to
say, the Judge must inquire of the
parties and find certain facts, and
these acts are purely judicial in
their NATURE"
The above is the whole thing in
a nut shell. The issuance of a
marriage license by a clerk is lille
gal and a marriage ceremony per-
under these conditions
must be illegal. Do the citizens
of the county want these conditions
to continue? We believe not.
Then vote for a, man who will at
tend to the duties Of the office.

fully deceive the voters. Beck
thinks there is ten to fifteen thous.
and dollars in the sherifs Office
and no doubt there would be that
amount or more if he were turned
loose in the sheriffs Office. Beck
is a prohibitionist with prohi-
bitionists and a resubmissionist
with resubmissionists. When he
is talking with prohibitionists he
intends to have the law inforced.
When he is talking with resub-
m%issionists he wants the law re-
pealed. When he is out over the
county electioneering he says he
knows nothing about the so called
German movement-that they in
dorsed him but he is not in
favor of their methods. When he
is with the Germans that he has
succeeded in deceiving he is in
favor of organizing the Germans
and shutting everybody else out.
He is for Beck first, last and all the
time and for nobody else. The
party or the state administration
is nothing to him if he can get a
few votes to trade. The recent
meeting at Washburn vas not over
before he was around telling that
he was not in favor Of the German
movement but that they had in
dorsed him and he could not help
it but he had had no part in the
organization of Germans against
the republican administration. He
is a first-class hypocrite and all he
sees is a big graft for himself and
that is all he wants.
The reformers in the state are
seeking to select delegations that
will support Alfred Steel of Suits
man county for governor, and he
against Governor Sarles. Where
is the claim of the German move
ment that the Germans are in fav-
or giving a second term to good Of
fcials? Why should the voters Of
Mclean county attempt to send a
delegation to the state convention
against the nomination Of Governor
Sarles? Where will they stand
after the convention, when the adj
ministration is Endorsed, as it will
be, and they should succeed in
splitting the county delegation?
The voters Of this county will
not be deceived. They will stand
for the Endorsement Of the Govern
or and the administration of state
affairs and they will not be led
estray by a few Office seekers and
sore heads who are masquerading
as reformers for the purpose of
getting into Office.

has a strong objection to the habit
some young men have of parting
their hair in the middle. The other
day when one of his sons came to
the breakfast table he noted that
olfense was given in this respect

parting the hair in the middle was
not done to conceal the "soft spots"
at the sides.
