A Jewell City man, according to the

he lays the baby down and forgets
what he did with it.

The Democrats are telling this:
Eleven men were haying in Jackson
county IL few days ago. Politically,
the party stood nine Republicans and
two Democrats. A poll for governor
was taken. The result was II for Har-
ris. A poll was taken on q, train near
Ellsworth lately. The result: Harris
80, Hoch 8, Keefer 1. A grain buyer
at Salina recently asked 40 farmers
how they stood on governor. The re-
plies showed that Is were for Harris
10 for Hoch, and two had not made
up thir minds. An agent of the Re-
publican committee for Atchison
county a few days ago rounded up Il
Republicans who are Off the reserva-
ton, and asked them how much Of the
Republican ticket they expect to bolt.
Eight said they would vote the
straight Democratic ticket, three said
they would vote for the Democratic
nominees for governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, attorney general and railroad
commissioners, and one said he would
not scratch anybody but Hoch.

A well-to-do man thought he could not

This is probably correct. All that we

my friend" says Deacon Bert
Walker, you do a whole lot of talk
ing about the sins and frai1ties of your
neighbors,- but did you ever stop to
take a look at yourself2 Picking flaws
IN the conduct of your neighbor ism t
going to get you into heaven. Look
ing for dirt on your neighbours door
step while the weeds grow in your own
front yard doesn't make much Of q. hit
with st. Peter. The neighbors tell
about a whole lot OF things you have
done that are not exactly on the
square. You used to let your lawn
sprinkler run long after the lawful
hour, and the assessor thinks you
Judged a whole lot when you gave IN
your property. You slip away when
subscription paper is being passed
and raised the rent on a poor widow.
You can't wash away these things by
pointing out the sins OF your neighbor.
Your neighbor really has better
show for the golden harp than you.
The thing for you to do is to get ac-
duainted with yourself. You viii be
surprised at what an old crook you
are. Get right with yourself and your
neizhbors can take care of themselves.
Anyway. IL they don't 1t won't cost you
your passport to heaven"
