Morris tribune., 1907-07-27

Belview Independent Those who figure
that the railroads is down and out as political
issue in this state certainly figure again for
it will be very live issue in the year OF our
Lord 1908. Wait and see.
The saloon men of the cities feel that they
have been Disseminated against in being COM
g,elled to close their places of business on Sun
day when other businesses allowed to be
run on Sunday contrary to law. That the law
should be enforced is too plain proposition
for one to disagree with them.
1t now develops that Jerome, whose admin
istration of the office of district attorney in New
York was heralded at in the interest of the
people and who made successful campaign
there as an independent, had enormous
paign fund, the source of which he "does not
know" This campaign fund may explain his
failure to prosecute insurance company officials
guilty of the misapproprations of trust funds
as disclosed year ago.
The referees appointed to recount the bal
lots cast on the constitutional amendments
have found that the tax amendment is already
short of enough votes to carry it. However,
the ballots have been destroyed in some places,
and a complete recount is impossible, and it
is doubtful whether the supreme court will
overthrow the returns from the state canvas
sing board without complete recount.
Litchield Saturday Review-In many cases
it would seem that good laws were made for
good people and then not enforced in order to
please bad people. AS consequence we have
in this country many excellent laws that are
practically dead letter. For more than one
reason this is an evil. It is so largely response
BILE for the impunity with which in some places
and by some people the law is disregarded with
injurious results to society.
Be natural. Do not try to impress People
with your importance. If you really i'm
portant they will find it out. If you are of no
account you will not deceive anyone by acting
as though great interests rested in your keep
ing. The day of pomposity is past we hope
never to return. More people than ever before
are intelligent and able to judge you and place
a true rather than afalse estimate your
abiIities,-Lakeield Standard.
A slandering tongue is more to be dreaded
ethan the most loathsome reptile that crawls up
On the face of the earth for he will give warn
ing before he strikes you-but a slanderer-
anever. Let woman start on the down
ward road to ruin and we are all prone to step
tion,' instead of stretching out the hand of
sbrotherly love and staying their progress, we
stand by and let them slide. He who can stoop
down and lift up his fallen brother from the
,nire and place him this feet and whisper
sweet counsel in his ear and bid him go and
lead better life, is truly benefactor to the
sracr-Lakefeld Standard

America. 1t was claimed and held by the
Kings of France the ground of
discovery by their missionaries and travellers
from 1873 to 1853 In that year it ceded to
Great Britain and held by that country for
twenty years In 1893 it was ceded to the
United States, 1t was then claimed by Vir-
