When politician gets in the dumps,
with few friends and no money. and an
election ahead he usually begins to feel
desperate and visions of clean election
pas. through his brain. Our Republi-
an friends are just now in that boat.
They have been resolving that they
will not use any money and invite all
the other candidates to- join with them
in this lAudasle plan. These fellows
are getting very good. Their action re-
minds as of that old couplet;
"W hen the devil was sick, the devil
saint would be. But when he got
well, the devil of saint was he"
This is q poor proposition. 1t binds
no one but the candidates and every
body knows that the candidates spend
little or no money. 1t is the other fell
lows and this plan does not bind them.
The Democracy has always been in
favor of clean elections and will gladly
join with our friends in plan to last
for number of years and especially 10
cover the election next fall but it mus
go further than this little scheme. Mr..

Whenever you think | have preach
ed long enough | want any of you to
say so and will Immediately announce
the last hymn. 1t is not always PCS
sible for preacher to tell just when h
should saw off, and for one would be
grateful for suggestions. You will not
offend me by calling time. Say when
and I'll stop"
So said the Rev. Charles Clarkson of
Detroit to his congregation.
He is wise parson who knows when
to quit.

in his peoples minds. He can't do

The tendency of all public speech is
toward condensation.
The Edward Everett style of Grafton
belongs to the stage coach era. This is
an elsctric age demanding an electric
speech. Brevity is the soul of eloquence
nowadays. The direct nervous utterance
is the speech of the busy day. Aud
Robert g. Ingsrsoll, if he may be men
toned in this connection, did as much
as any public speaker to fix the con-
densed style, the short, simple words
of modern oratory.
The same tendency is seen in the
later newspaper editorials. 1t was a
great shock to the literary folk when
Arthur Brisbane began to write edito-
rails on common every day things and
cut out all the long words. But that
style of editorials has won out,
If the pulpit is to keep i'll touch with
the times it must adapt itself. The
modern audience is quick to catch or.
The preacher need not spend unneces-
sary words to tell the old story of love
and sacrifice. And only the speaker
of unusual charm is able to hold an
/ audience longer than 30 or 40 minutes.
Before all else the future man of the
pulpit must stay by the gospel themes
the themes that. touch mems hearts
and hopes. He must have something
vital to say. And he must say il
without unnecessary rhetoric. The man
with real message can say enough in
40 minutes to keep his audience think

The day of the ponderous polish. d

Never sincethe tme of that Sir Robert
Peel was driven to 1t was the policy of
free trade raore securely established in
the United Kingdom than now, if APP
pearances do not deceive. The protec
ton advocated by Mr.. Cham erlain
would be denounced as the rankest
free trade in our country, and it pro-
vides for freer trade than Robert j.
Walker, William r. Morrison, John
G. Carlisle, or Frank Hurd ever dream

practical federation of the empire. MIR.
Chamberlain knows that England is
not very popular on the continent, and
hence he would foster the colonies. to
make their loyalty certain and their
PATRIOTS profitable.
But England has been so prosperous
under free trade that it will take years
of academic discussion to bring her 10
favorable consideration of the Cham
berlain idea. Never did people more
reluctantly embrace policy than did
England when she plunged into free
trade, and never did people cling
more tenacieusly 10 policy than Eng
land cliRgs to free trade.
The liberal majority in the present
House of Common is the largest any
party has had in Pertinent since Pitt $
time, and Mr.. Chamberlain's new de-
partuTe is RESI- nsible foT il. England
f-tches and carries on every sea. For
example, she exchanges her maniac
lures for coffee in Brazil, and exchange S
the coffee for cotton in New Orleans,
and thus she is subject to the Brazilian
tariff instead of to the Dingley tariff in
that transaction, snd the Federal
Treasury gets no one cent of revenue
from it, that is what England does
in every quarter of the globe every hour
of the day.
She admits all raw materials free, and

The rank and file of the Republicans
in West Virginia show disposition

In Gilmore county the Republicans
endorsed Roosevelt and their congress-
man woodward, but said nothing
about Elkins. OF course this was en-
ly an accidental oversight.
The Republicans of Wood county in
their convention at Parkersburg on
May u, baked on the resolution en-
dorsing woodward for Congressman,
Elkins for U. S. Senator, and Thomas
GartIan for State Senator, and despite
the frantic efforts of the bosses all the

President Roosevelt has been thre,t-

found his opportunity at the laying OF

ether Republicans, is that "the I'M n

other trust propositions. The devil ,on
one side, is urging him to stand by his
friends, the corporations, and rely up
on the usual plan of fixing" those

the other side is the taX-ridden and cor

last Sunday morning. The church
was beautifully decorated with ported

sang solo, "Hosanna," by Granier,
in her best style, and Mrs. Austin also
rendered solo, sThe Golden
