Now Did TheY7

The simplest and plainest laws
of health are outraged every hour
of the day by the average man.
Did Adam smoke? Did Eve wear
corsets? Did Solomon chew to-
bacco? Did Ruth chew gum?
Did the children Of Israel make
for a beer garden after crossing
the Red sea? Did Rebecca eat
gum drops and ice cream and
call for soda water? Adam was
the first and was made perfect
from head to heel How long
would he remain so after eating
a mince pie before going to bed?
Suppose he had slept in a bed

dows down, the doors shut, and
two dogs under the bed? Sup.
pose Eve had laced herself up in
q corset, put on tigA. shoes, sat
up all hours of the night eating
her fill of trash, and sizzled her

of the way a man misbehaves

sound Pretty Good.

1t is refreshing to near a judge
say that the law is no respector
of persons, /" and that it can make
mo distinction between a rich
man and a poor man" ofcourse
that has always been the case
theoretically, but il has not al.
ways worked out that way in
practice. Sometimes the law
has been stretched in favor Of
the rich criminal while the poor
one has had no such considera-
tion shown him. Then, too, the
relatives Of rich culprits have
been known to boast or threaten
that they would spend immense
sums to secure their release, and
the expenditure has sometimes
been made with the desired re.
suit. But with Judge Lands in
the Standard Oil case, there is
good hope that the fact and the
DRY Of the law win be the same.

What's the Use7

An exchange under this head
ing gives a few truths that might
be worth while to remember:
We were once confronted
with a picture that appealed to
us with keen and subtle philoso-
ply. The study was that Of a
human skull resting upon a book
and underneath were these
words: What's the User Man
is born with a worry, and the
worry grows on him from the
days Of his first childhood 10 the
days OF his second childhood.
Could he keep before bis minds
eye this simple query, What's
the use?' would not his life be
sweeter and his satisfaction
greater? True happiness is not
in straining ones strength,
bruising ones hand, tearing
ones flesh 10 reach some coveted
goal away up on the rocky noun
tain side. Ii is in stopping now
and then TO pluck a flower that
grows beside the upward way.
Today holds many beauties for
those who halt 10 analyze and en-.
JOY them. Tomorrow may have
naught but the shroud. Then it
will be too late 70 ask What's the
use.

Are you a Republican, Then
be proud Of your party's record.
Let us enumerate what IL has
done,
The country was in bankruptcy
in 1897. IL asked the Republi-
cans to get II out OF the hole; the
Republicans got Il cut.
The country wanted sound
money; it asked the Republicans
to give the nation a sound finan-
cial basis; the Republicans
brought it about.
The people wanted to see
smoke curling from the smoke
stacks of furnaces and machine
shops; they asked the Republi-
cans to start the thing to going;
the Republicans started it.
Laboring people wanted en-
ployment; they asked the Re
publicans to bring about a con
dition that would give them some
thing to do to keep the wolf from
the door; the Republicans did it.
The manufacturers wanted
protection on their goods; they
asked the Republicans to give
them protection; the Republicans
did it.
The people wanted a pure food
law; they asked the Republicans
to enact one; the Republicans
did it.
The people wanted the rail-
roads regulated; they asked the
Republicans to regulate them;
the Republicans did it.
The nation wanted the conf
dence of every other nation, and
the Republicans to make
the stars and stripes an emblem
of freedom wherever the sun
shone; the Republicans did it.
Now, in the light of history, in
the face of prosperity, in the
time of plenty, where is that Re
who is not proud that
he is a Republican?
Be proud! In the old Roman
empire it was an honor to fight
under the imperial eagles Of the
Caesars. In this new American
republic it is an honor to fight
under the exalted banner Of Re-
publicanism.
Republicanism has a glorious
history. You can point to its
past and 20 it's present with a
glowing pride.
If you are a Republican, you
have nothing to be ashamed of.
You are the salt Of the earth
the fairest amid ten thousand -
Elk.

little mixed in the report that
Gov. Hoch, Of Kansas, referred
to w. J. Bryan at the Carthage
Chautauqua as the country's
chief pessimist. The Kansas
governor merely spoke of the
men throughout the country
preaching the doctrine that
money and millionaires were the
only thing and that the poor boy
had no chance. No direct refer
ence was made to Mr.. Bryan and
the governor showed that the
poor boy had the best chance and
that the contrary doctrine was
misleading and absurd. He re-

that such a quality would hardly

result. There are other things

Revolutioni1es the Selection Of
Candidates.

Siews the new primary law which
revolutionizes our system Of Sc,
lecting party candidates;
The act provides that a state
shall be held the first
Tuesday in August in 1908 and
every two years thereafter upon
which day the people viii ex
press their choice for all elective
candidates except city officers,
county superintendent Of
schools or village and district
officers; in other words, it means
that on the above day all parties
will express their choice of can
didates for elective Offices, in.
Guiding county, state and con
gressional, and those receiving
the highest vote will be deemed
the party nominees to be voted
at the regular November election.
Thus it can be seen that this act
fixes the first Tuesday in August
for the biennial primary and
does away with conventions or
party primaries called af the in
slant of party comitties, county,
congressional or state. The ex-
penses of this primary are TO be
paid out of the treasures of the
city, county and state, the same
as in general elections.
The state committee of any
party may call a convention of
delegates to be determined in
any way it sees it fit, which con-
vention viii nominate presiden
tial electors, delegates to national
conventions, and adopt a party
platform, etc. United States
senators will not be voted upon
at the state primary, but at the
general election in November,
and the act provides that no man
can vote for a candidate for sena-
tor on one ticket whose name ap.
pears officially on another ticket;
in other words, a Republican
cannot vote for the Democratic
candidate while voting the bal.
ance of the Republican ticket and
vice versa. 1t compels a straight
party vote and the candidates re.
ceiving the highest number Of
votes for any party will be deem
ed the caucus nominee in the leg
islature of that party.
At least sixty days prior to
the August primary any candi-
date for a county Office must file
his name and address with coun-
ty clork, state the Office to which
he aspires and the party upon
whose ticket he win run. A can
didate for a state office mast be
nominated by at least one per
cent of the vote of his party and
this one per cent must be distri-
buted over at least six separate
counties; such petitions will read:
Il, the undersigned qualified
elector of such and such party,
hereby nominate so and so as a
candidate for governor, attorney
general, etc, F" this one per cent
of the vote to be based upon the
presidential electors at the last
election.
In case Of congressman, two
per cent Of the voters Of the con-
gressionsl district must petition
for his candidacy and such two
per cent must come from at least
one.tenth OF the precincts of one.
half Of the counties in such dis.
trict.
A space is left on the ballot in
which the voter may write his
choice Of ward or township com
mitteemen and the men 90 select
ed shall meet at the county seat
the Friday following the primary
and proceed to elect a chairman,
secretary and treasurer, and the
chairman SO elected shall become

The effect of this decision is to uphold

state notes, taken by non-residents on ac'
count of business transacted there.
This law was brought into question by a
leading life insurance company of New
York which was required by the city OF
New Oreans to paw tax on notes taken
for ten thousand dollars wocth of business
TRANSACTED in that state.
The company resisted this levy on the
grounds that the notes were taxable only
in New York, where they were held; the
attempt # the authorities was character
iz.d as IN effort to extend the taxlng power
