A GREAT DUTY.

Granted that cntizen's most valuable and impor-
tant possession his vote and that it is his paramount
duty to vote, what now?
National parties present two matters-measures and
1t is not rarely that, out of the of platform
assertions denuncations promises and patitudes, APP
pears issue upon which the voters decide Such was
cal questions swayed the vast body of voters Now
have different situation The great parties pract
cally advancing the important 1t would
bother any partisan democrat republican to give good
for changing his coat because of attraction
the other fellows declarations 1t is choice between men,
the nominees and to all those who don't for party
it is very difficult choice.
Many voters have little faith that Mr.. Taft will carry
out the Roosevelt policies in respect of control of
centrated capital. Mr. Bryan president may not have
a congress and courts to make his very best intentions
effective. Mr. Taft has made good in important Offices
with which he has been entrusted Mr. Bryan certainly
made good congressman and cannot be accused of
lack of courage sincerity. But decision must be
made
Let no voter believe that because the platforms are
similar and that much is to be said in favor of either
nee he should stay away from the polls and leave the
selection to the politicians Every choice, whether of
measures should be decisive in this country 1t should
be expression of the whole people. The greater the
majority given Taft the greater his power to accomplish
And the Of Bryan
The records of both men, their personal characteris-
ties aims and qualities public. Let the best
but let not any Individual think that he is not OBJ
gated by patriotism and selfnterest, to help say who
is the best

The cold rain was swept in blind
ing sheets by the fierce gale.
Mickey glanced at his bundle of
unsold papers and frowned. A pc
destrian rounded the block, and be-
ing unable to manage his umbrella,
halted beside Mickey somewhat re-
lieved Say, kid, you can't sell
papers tonight" exclaimed the big
fellow as he eyed the youngster.
"You had better come with me and
have a good supper and then I'll
take you to the theater. Here is
a dollar. That will pay for your
lost time" Mickey's eyes bright
ened as he thought of how his in
valid father would appreciate his
luck.
After a good meal with Bill Blus-

travelling man, Mickey found him

INDUSTRIAL WORKER FINED

James Wilson, secretary of the
Industrial Workers of the World,
was fined $40 and costs by Justice
Hyde yesterday. Ed Miller, an
employment agent, accused Wilson
Of disorderly conduct in that he
addressed street meeting and re-
ferred to Miller as one of the EN-.
ployment agents who robbed poor
laboring men, and stated further
that Miller once was connected
with an employment office that
shipped girls into British Columbia
for immoral purposes. Evidence
which 1t was claimed by Wilson
would substantiate his charges, was
not admitted.

CAN THROW CONFETTI
WEDNESDAY, NIGHT

Confetti is barred at the labor
carnival, except on Wednesday
night. The committee thought a
long time about barring confetti al
together. But a carnival isn't real
iy a carnival without some confetti,
SO there will be a confetti night.
This Is the night that the prize
ball is to be given. Expensive
prizes will be offered for the best
dancers, best lockers, best gowned
and all that sort of thing.

in later life by industry and nobil-
ity of character. The play made a
lasting impression on Mickey and
Bill Buster bade him goodnight
with smile, which showed that
he, too, had been happily enter
tanned. ''Be a good kid and put
up a good fight and you'll come
out all right was his parting in
junction.
Years passed and the night was
forgotten. Mickey no longer sold
papers. He was now a man of the
world and travelled from a great
city for one of it's leading firms
One evening as he was passing
through an arcade in his home
town h enoticed an old man selling
papers near the entrance. AS he
purchased his paper the forlorn ap-
pearance of the man appealed to
him in a queer and unaccountable
manner. Acting upon impulse he
asked the feeble old gentleman to
accompany him to lunch and then
go to a moving picture show. The
man smiled his appreciation and
was given sum which recompen-
sed him for his time.
Among the pictures exhibited
was one illustrating the tremendous
possibility for good possessed by
the most humble and forsaken of
earth's creatures. The scene was
at the seaShore. A child Of pleas
ure-seeking parents, who had been
told to shun a ragged beach-ocm-
Der, had wandered from the party,
and unbeknown to it's parents, had
been caught on a sand dnue by
the tide. AS the districted parents
vainly sought their perishing child
the beach-comber, who had noted
the peril, had swan meanwhile to
the rescue.
THAT picture calls to mind an
incident in my own life said the
middle-aged man to his aged COM
panion. Il was once a forsaken
newsboy and up against it, making
a bare subsistence. There are all
sorts of people, you know, but
some rise to the level of measuring
a fellow for what he is and what
he is trying to make of himself re.
CARELESS of what he's got or where
he sprung from. Well, one OF
these big-hearted chaps came along
one stormy night and gave me
good meal and took me to show
which made me better ever after

Can you give me some idea of
the show?' queried the old man.
evidently taking a deep interest in
the recital. Then, as the outline
of the play dawned upon him he
trembled with excitement, exclaim-
ing. Il am Bill Buster and you are
Mickey. Well, who would have
thought it!'
Time and its changes were for
gotten, as Mickey and Bill Buster
shook hands.
After this second meeting Bill
Buster became a sharer in the
prosperity of his friend whom
strange destiny had SO wisely pro-
vided.
