CRITICISMS.
Pertinent Comment or County
State and National Political
And Business Affairs.

There is no doubt about the Repub-
licans of the First District trying TO
interest Will Jackson in politics in the
hope that he will consent to take the
old man s place as money bags. We don t
believe Will is ION the job" He is
very sensible in prefering to motor and
enjoy the beauties and comforts of his
nice home to allowing other people to
rifle his pockets. 1t looks like Uncle
Bill has had enough Of that kind Of
business and William z. will take
warning.

Taft and Sherman have been nomi-
mated by the Republicans for President
and Vce-President respectively. Mr..
Taft is "A resident of Ohio, while Mr..
Sherman is at present Congressman
representing one of the New York dis
tricts. The platform is kind of a
straddle and not much anyway you look
at it, 1t is well-known that Mr.. Taft
is President RoOsevelt's man and will
carry out the policies inaugurated by
Mr.. Roosevelt. The business men Of
the country know full we'll that these
policies are responsible for the present
business depression. and therefore
thousands of the best thinkers in the
country will use their influence against
the election of Taft and Sherman.
Senator Foraker, one of the most ar
dent, uncompromising Republicans in
the country says his party is going to
have hard struggle to win, and if
anyone thinks the Republicans have a
walk-over. they had better disabuse
their minds at once.

the man who never accomplished any

keeps his face open all the time for

what they ought to do. He prates Of

He Was A Gentleman.
Rams Horn.

Rams Horn.
A few days ago | was passing
through a pretty shady street where
some boys were playing at baseball.
Among their number WAS a little lame
fellow, seemingly about twelve years
old-a pale, sickly-looking child, sup
ported on two crutches, and who
evidently found much difficulty in
walking, even with such assistance.
The lame boy wished to join the
game: for he did not seem TO see how
much his lameness would be III his
own way. and how much it would
hinder the progress OF such an active
sport as baseball. His companions
very gOOd-naturedly tried to per
suade him to stand at one side and
let another take his place, and was
clad to notice that none Of them
limited that he would he in the way,
but that they all objected for fear he
would hurt himself.
'Why, Jimmy" said one, you
can't run, YOU know"
ooh. hushw said another, the
tauest in the party. "Never mind !;
III run for him. and he took his
place by Jimmy's side, preparing to
act. ''If YOU were like him." he said
aside to the other boys, you
wouldn't want to he told Of it all the
time
As passed on thought to myself
that there was IL true gentleman.
