Give Him a Chance .

Don't let the boy have to ask, or, worse
yet, tease, for every cent of spending
money. Every child should contribute
his share to the work Of the farm, simply
because it is right, and by no means
should he expect pay for doing his duty
However, to cultivate spirit of thrift
and independence, the orphan lamb, the
pet pig, or few hens, may well be the
property OF the small boy, and any money
accruing therefrom, his also. The larger
boy may cultivate a parcel Of the farm
(sinall or large, according to circum-
stances) on shares, with results satisfac-
tory to father and son alike. 1t will be
found that the average boy will be as
careful and wise in expanding his own
money as his fathers money.-Farm

 This is why they in all parts of the country in the south voted for Mr. Taft regardless of party lines It this that created the Taft landslide.
 The Herald believes in democratic principles and the old historic party it desires above all this time restoration of business activity and business confidence It, therefore accepts result in broad spirit trusting that Mr. Taft will be broad president and that the country will work hand in hand with him for the reopenng of mills and factories and for new tide of prosperity all industrial and affars-for happier and buster America

MARRIAGE IN TOPEKA

with full hands, he has right to res quire that she bring an equivalent in ex- change. This being true, how many young women in Topeka who desire to make commercial marriages would be able to complete the deal? What have they to trade that is really valuable on the mar ket? What have they to give in exchange for the material qualification they hope to achieve? There are pretty faces, soft hands and liquid voices for sale without number ill the open market and the price is much under that of marriage
 
 And so, if you are a girl old enough to know what marriage means and you are dead certain that you love him and that he is all right in other respects. his salary is the smallest item in the account ing. For you can be perfectly happy no matter whether his income is $40 month or $40 00O year. Meanwhile, am willing to lay long odds that if the girl marries her $75 month man she will need no hand other than his to lead her to her great joy.

The Atlanta Spirit.

Birmingham has developed a great deal of public spirit within the past two or three years. but in political matters af- fecting local interests our people are not, as a rule, as alert as the citizens of Atlanta said a business man. "I have in mind the new county amendment.
 "The Bessemer organization was hard at work before the people in and around Birmingham had walked up to the mean ing of the county amendment. Had Atlanta been confronted with problem of this sort, every man, woman and child there would have been up in arms.
 "Now, while I do not believe in imi- tating other cities in all things, I think it safe rule to ask in cases like the Bessemer movement how would Atlanta act under similar conditions? and act ac- cordingly. In civic spirit and civic achievement Atlanta leads all the cities of the south and is therefore a good guide. When Clark Howell of Atlanta was in Birmingham last week, he said that if he were a resident of this city he would oppose the movement to carve Jefferson county"

IN HOTEL LOBBlES
Regarding Prohibition.

candidate Eugene Chain. who carried the standard of the prohibition party. is doubtless man of high character and of sober habits, but he evidently lacks bal ance or practical sense" said a demo- erat who belongs to the Anti-saloon league.
 MT. Chain was quoted last week as saying that if all the men in the United States who believed in prohibition prin- eiples were to vote the prohibition ticket he would get all the electoral votes; and MT. Chain prophesied on Monday of this week that the party that goes down to defeat (referring to the two old parties) Tuesday will never put out another ticket
 Neither the republican party nor the democratic party will live forever, per haps, but they will be doing business at the old stands in 1912, and for several quadrennial periods thereafter democrats as well as republicans will be standing around the polls handing out tickets The chances are reaction against prohibit ton will set in and that as a presidential proposition prohibition has just seen it's best days

 In presenting the situation the Pres ident could not refrain from giving the magnates who have worried him dur ing his term a jab.

THE CHAIN.

From PUCK
 One summer evening an angleworm stuck his head out of hole in the ground to get a breath of air. He saw a work ingman sitting on the back stoop of a, tumbledown house and was seized with a desire to talk to him. The mans back was bent, and his head hung down, so the angleworm from his lowly position found it not hard to attract his attention.
 What do you do for living?- asked the angleworm.
 q make shoes in factory" answered the laborer.
 About how many pairs of shoes do you make in a day?"
 q make eight pairs.
 Then you get the money for eight pairs of shoes every day. You ought to be able to afford something better than this tumble down shanty for home"
 But I don't get eight pairs for my days work. I only get one pair"
 What becomes of the other seven pairs that you produce every day?"
 well, a little of it goes for raw mate- rial, and the rest goes for rent, interest, and profit.".
 What becomes of the rent, interest. and proft?"
 "It goes to the capitalist
 Why to the capitalist"
 "So he can buy automobiles, own race horses, endow colleges, establish libraries, and support the churches
 T see," said the angleworm, and slipped back into the ground.
 Why don't you keep seven-eight, and do these things yourself?' k "Why, I'm too busy. I've got to make the shoes.'

Some Political Truisms.

CT cannot understand how 1t Is that democrats with any sort Of campaign ex- perIence are misled in their calculations regarding the votes of given classes" said Confederate veteran. 'I have been voting the democratic ticket ever since the war and have analysed the election returns every four years. With enc ex- ception Tammany has always knlfed the national ticket Another fact that has impressed itself on my mind is thus: No man was ever elected President when Wall street, meaning the great financial interests of the great money center Of the country, was solidly against him. When MT. Tilden carried New York in 1878 he had the active support of many bankers and capitalists Each time that MT. Cleveland ran prominent bankers were found among his partisars. Still another fact of importance is this: No democrat has ever been elected who failed to carry New York The demo- cratic leaders are not as practical in polltical affairs as the republicans. The republicans often quarrel among them selves before election but always fol- low their leader when voting day comes.
 Finally, there are more republicans Tn the country, especially in close states, than there are democrats MT. Cleye- land was the only democrat who oc- cupied the White House since the war and both times that he won it was by the aid of mugwumps. He had back Of nm aunited democracy and many independ- ents or mugwumDs besides
