A MAN OF WISDOM AND
NERVE.

Too much can not be said in
praise Of Governor Beckham.
He shows himself a man Of great
nerve, power and wisdom.
He lives above partizan spirit
and political policy-seeking that

be for the best interests Of the
Great Common People"
His name will live long after
his body has returned 10 earth
and will be a correct example TOR
generations to come end to those
who may succeed him as well.

Whv TOO MANY Laws Arc Made

The growing tendency of legisla-

mischievous lawmaking is a question
that affects our democracy. The pres
