Chance to Write for the

Who has not at times had ideas
which he or she would like to see in
some newspaper? Many good
thought has slumbered in the brain of
the thinker because of the difficulties
and rebutfs which are always supposed
to lie in the path to the editorial
sanctum. THE CHICAGO RECORD HER
AID, however, welcomes such ideas
and has page in its Sunday issue
called "The Battel Ground of Modern
Thought" which is devoted exclusive
ly to letters from it's readers. The
best articles received each week are
carefully edited and printed over the
writer's names. The amount of really
valuable matter that finds it's way into
the department is remarkable and is
proof that the ability to write well and
entertainingly is not confined to pro-
fessiODal writer's. The only retrictiOn
THE RECORD HERALD puts upon writ
ers for this interesting page is that
articles must be of a controversial ma
ture and devoted to the discussion of
some current topic.

A Wholesome Philosophy.

Absolute honesty and a definite will
often produce better results without
unusual intellectual gifts or OppOrtun-
ity than the keenest intellect can attain
without these moral qualities. 1t
would be an easy thing to quote cases
of noted men and women in whom de-
fects of character have practically
nullifed the most conspicuous intel
lectual gifts.
A philosophy of life is not what we
think about life, but the convictions
which govern our actions. 1t has well
been called the working hypothesis
of life" Since well. directed power is
the measure of success, it is within the
reach of every human being
Play your part well-be it great OF
small-and despair will Disappear
like the morning mist before the sun.
Your part is not to expend your ner-
vous force in cynical criticism, but in
the high obligation to build on what
ever foundation of conviction you

of Maryland has written for the New
York World. The glad welcome they
give the senator and his statement of
real Democratic principles shows why
the Democratic plant everywhere is
dropping. Now, Mr.. Rayner simply
talks the A. 3. c. of Democracy
principles that are familiar to every
Democrat who has reasons for the
faith that is in him, but of which so
little is heard these days. Briefly,
Senator Rayner's programme is as
follows:
81 have tried to show that Democra-
cy stands for tariff revision and
against territorial expansion; in favor
of governmental economy and against
governmental subsidies; opposed to
executive usurpatiOn and in favor of
the reserved rights Of the states. [
believe that the Republican party is
against tariff reform and in favor Of
territorial expansion, and of liberal
expenditures in order to Justify its
continuance of high protective tariff;
that 1t is in favor of subsidies; that it
believes in the broadest possible con-
8truction of executive power, and that
in its Interpretation of the reserved
rights of the states it proposes to re-
strict them by forced construction of
the constitution within the narrOwest
possible confines whenever they came
in conflict with it's purposes in it's
march to Capitalization. Upon these
issues l would be willing to throw
down the gage of battle.
What boom Democracy would get
in Wisconsin if it could get candi-
date who would fit so excellent plat
form. At one blow would be eliminat-
ed not only the Belmonts and Ryans,
but the organs as well.

Some One Said INVESTIGATE

It is the heighth of idiocy for min
ing company to declare a dividend
when there are several thousand dol
lars of debts unpaid. OF course stock
is bound to 60 up when a mine can
declare a legitimate dividend, but
merely to declare & dividend to en-
able some promoter to unload his stock
at an advanced price-well, it is a rot
ten game! But it has been done. It is
just a "gentlemanly" way of sand
bagging the innocent investor.

Why Democrats DrOop.

The Democrats of Wisconsin, like
their brethren in the other states,

Democracy are set before them, is we'll

AS a sample of the singing language
Blackburn sometimes uses may be
cited his characterization of Il western
judge whom he had introduced to
President Cleveland late in the cam
paign of 1888. After this judge re-
turned home he gave out an interview
in which he professed to quote the
president as having given up the cleo
ton because of the trearhery Of Sen
atOr Hill of New York, Mayor Hewitt
and others. Blackburn characterized
the whole statement as false and
wound up his sizzling roast in this
fashion:
II can do no more than to crave the
presidents pardon for having been
misIed into introducing to him a carl
cature upon humanity. for whose ex-
istence the Lord in fair dealing owes
an apology to mankind"

Here is another SAMPLE of the sort of
English Blackburn Sings when he is
feeling we'll. He was detected read
ing the presidents message, and as he
read he chucl1led to himself. Finally
one of his colleagues approached the
senator from Kentucky and asked for
the joke.
at has just occurred to me-" solemn
ly observed the senator, that Mr..
RooseveIts English does not coruscate
with the pyrotechnic scintilIations of
obsoIescent Iinguosity which so ex-
tensively Illuminated the lucubrations
and Mutations of President Cleveland"

Blackburn's fondness for speechmak-
ing is matter of common knowledge.
At one time he was on an outing trip
with some friends along the Kentucky
river when a few dozen residents of
the neighborhoOd joined the party. The
food was of the best, and there was
plenty of liquid refreshment. Black
burn, however did not seem to be en-
joying himself. One Of his friends
asked him what was the matter. 81
don't like this crowd" Blackburn re-
sponded. 'Why, Joe" his friend re-
monstrated, there's not a man here
who wouldn't die for you" 81 know
that" returned Blackburn. ITS not
the quality I'm objecting to, but the
quantity. The crowd is too big for ar
anecdote and not big enough for q
speech"
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-06-13

Since he halls from Kentucky many
of the tales concerning Blackburn
naturally relate to the beverage which
cheers. Here is one: A friend recently
met the ex-senator at the station on
his return from trip to the country.
''How are you, JoeY' his friend ask
ed.
I'm up against it," was the reply.
II lost the best part of my baggage en-
route"
did you misplace it, or was it
stolen" his friend inquired sOlicitous-
ly.
Neither" said Blackburn. 1.-THE
cork came out"
When questioned about this story
later, however, Blackburn denied it.
"Not a word of truth in it, he said.
"You know 1 would be more careful
Of the cork"
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-06-13

One day Secretary of War Taft ap-
peared before the military committee of
the senate, of which Blackburn was
member, advocating the view that jun
Tor army officers should not marry.
"But how" asked Blackburn, "can
you make that accord with the admin
istration views on race suicide?'
Secretary Taft met this question with
a characteristic roar of laughter.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1907-06-13

Blackburn was a stanch silver man
and therefore opposed to the repeal Of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
law. Representative Caruth and a
party of other Kentuckians called on
the senator and told him he was hurt
ing himself politically, as most Of the
towns in the state were passing reso-
Iutfons favoring the repeal.
'What do I care for the resolutions Of
the towns?' rejoined Blackburn. "They
are passed by bankers, lawyers and
dry goods merchants, and no country
men were at the meetings"
Glow do you know|' asked Caruth.
''How do l know? Why, Asher, I
know it darned we'll. Every town in
Kentucky is reached by a tollgate, and
the poor country people haven't money
enough to pass them. That's the rea-
son 1 know. Here, Jim, give these
fellows a drink Of Bourbon and let
them 60"
Blackburn one day invited Secretary
Shaw and Vice President Fairbanks,
who was then senator, to have some
thing. When Shaw was asked what he
would take, he replied:
'WeIl, I guess I'll have glass Of
lemonade"
Blackburn then turned to Fairbanks
and said:
"And what will you have, senatorY
.I'1l have a glass of moxie," was the
reply.
The bartender said to Senator Black
burn:
'-And what's yours, senator"
oh" said he, scarcely able to con-
ceaI his disgust, II guess I'll have

The Sleeping Baby's "smiIe.'

1t is interesting to see how old is the
maternal delusion about the smiling of
babies In their sleep. All children
asleep are taken with catching Of the
corners of the mouth, which is as I'M
like as possible to the real smile-the
humorous and delightful little silent
sketch of laugh, appearing first at
any age between a fortnight and a
month: Yet human sentimentality has
insisted on calling the sleeping girl
mace, due to flatulence, smile, and
even a smile caused by dreams of an

been as unintelligent on this point as
any other matron, for st. Augustine,
reviewing in his Confessions" the
growth of his own mind, mentions that
he had been told of the coming of In
