STARTING The new HOME RIGHT
TIMELY AND INTERESTING TALK TO THE
YOUNG MARRIED COUPLE.

The excitement Of the wedding is
over-the new home has been select
ed and furnished, and the newly made
husband and wife draw a long breath
of satisfaction and relief that at last
they are settled" They look about
the coy home and their hearts swell
with pride. that ii is ali theirs-their
very own. Surely they can want
nothing more to make them perfectly
happy. They have each other, they
have their home and a comfortable
salary to maintain it They have their
friends-what more could mortal
wish for, There is, however, one
other thing that they do need or the
time will surely come when this hap
py family in their comfortable home
will not be able to weather the storms
of life
When we are happy we do not like
to look ahead for trouble, nor do we
need to do so. That would mar our
happiness-all that is necessary is TO
take the history of every man or wO-
man that ever lived and il will show
that life is made up of both storm and
sunshine. The storm does not bother
us much, however, if we are safely
housed and warm, and there is moth
ing that can secure us from the
storms of life like bank account
True love will stand the test of
many troubles, but if the time comes
when illness or financial disaster cuts
off the income, then a bank account,
however small, is the rudder that
guides love through the storm.

out pencil and paper and figure up
the exact amount of your weekly OF

aside a certain sum TO be saved every

According 10 those who know the
facts of his early life, Orchard is not
naturaliZed citizen of this country.
His parents. of course, were Cana
dians, the father of English and the
mother of Irish descent. Orchard
himself had but little education. He
attended the country schools in Can
ada. but passed through only a few
of the lower grades. He is the second
child of seven. All his brothers and
sisters are living. When but a boy
he hired out and worked for the
neighbors, and. according to his own
statement on the stand, he was over
twenty years old when he left home
and went to Saginaw, Mich
From Cheese to Crime.
In the course of Orchards examin-
alton, Richardson asked questions TO
prove Orchard began a career of dis
sipatiOn early in life. The man him
self says that il was only after sew
eraI years of hard work that he began
TO drink and gamble. At that time
he was building up a good business
in the making of cheese. but ii is now
twelve years since the turning point.

The Unwept Demise
of the Chicago Chronicle.

No one will grieve over the demise
fof the Chicago Chronicle which
passed in it's checks last Friday.
The Chronicle was the property of
John R. Walsh, the banker, who is
now under indictment for bank
wrecking, and who lost hundreds of
thousands of dollars in an unsucces-
full attempt to foist on the people of
Chicago a newspaper which no one
wanted and in a field already cov-
cred.
The Chronicle was established
May 2S, 1898, and 1t suspended May
81, 1907, having lived exactly Il
years and days. and having lost
probably over 100000 a year or con-
siderably more than million dollars
during that timo- The paper was os-
tensibly democratic, but it support
ed Mckinley in 1896. knitted Bryan in
1900, and after helping pawn the Par
ker gold brick off on the Democracy
in 1904, openly went over to the re-
publican party. 1t was one of the
most ably edited and completely
equipped papers in the country, but
it was organized in a spirit of person
al malice, its whole object was the
qualification of that malice, and it
lost money and died, as 1t deserved TO
do. AS the Montgomery Journal
says:
The Chronicle attempted to create
a demand for a newspaper where
there was no demand-in a field al
ready we'll filled-and it had TO go
where so many others with like mis-
sions to I'LL a long felt want" have
gone before it But its management,
tiring of the effort, firing of losing
money, wisely and sensibly concluded
the best thing to do was to quit the
field and leave il to others. But
there was no more ably edited or
more readable newspaper in Chicago
than the Chronicle; and il was not
his policy, not the lack of ability in
sits management, but rather its at
tempt to create a demand for another
paper, where there was no demand.
that made it a losing proposition.
and finally caused it to turn its toes
TO the daisies.
The fate of the Chronicle ought
to prove a warning to any other vim
dictive millionaires who imagine that
money is all that is necessary to
make successful newspaper.

Just so it is with your saving. II

you have a bank account you can

Why not start the new life in
double harness on a practical busi-
ness-like basis-young man be frank

help you save a certain sum each
month, so that when old age comes
you may sit together and rest in COM
fort, after your many years of labor.

Hon. ]. NJ. 8arco.

F1Ons j. w. 6aTCO.
For some months past it has been
rumOred that Hon. ]. NJ. Barco. of
Marion county. was a probable can
didate for state comptroller. He has
been prominently mentioned by the
state press as a good man for the
position, and the Democrat today
learns from a good and reliable
source that he has decided to make
the race, and that his announcement
will be made at the proper time It
goes without saying that he viii
make an active and aggressive cam
paign.
Mr. BarcO is a native FIOridian
and one of the best known men in
the state, and his friends are num-
bered by the thousands who will only
be too glad to give him their sup
port He has been prominent in bUsi-
ness and political circles for a num-
Der of years, and is regarded by all
as a true, honest christian gentle
man, who would do honor to any
office within the gift of the DemOcra-
cy of this state.
If nominated and elected to the
office of state comptroller, the affairs
of that Office will be properly and
honestly conducted without fear or
favor Mr. BarcO is we'll qualified to
fill the position and would make
model official. and we predict for him
the largest vote ever cast in the state
primary for a candidate for any Office
who had an OppOnent-Live Oak

STATE PRESS ON
THE LEGISLATURE

the lawmakers are loud in their
praises of the body collectively. Those
who did not get it, or who got what
they did not want, are equally loud,
and perhaps more positive, in their
denunciatiOn of the legislature as the
toughest old gang that ever met at
Tallahassee.
Now it seems to US, as dlSlnter-
ested observer, that the late legisla-
ture averaged up pretty well. 1t did
not set the world on fire, but it passed
some good laws. made rather liberal
appropriations, declined 10 pass some
bad laws and behaved generally as
legislatures are wont to do. There is
perhaps no occasion for writhing in
agony on the part of anybody. Let
us especially demand of the man who
demands that he shall be permitted
to run the Legislature that he shall
cause himself TO be elected a member
thereof, else hold his peace down to
a tone Of voice that will not deafen
the people of the entire state. Now
that the legislature is dead and gone
