city for Il few hours Friday. having

the instrument had at some time been
broken but the body was all right eN-

The richest piece of pure fiction, of

der the headline Len Mccoy Chair

asks the people to believe that Len
Mccoy, chairman Of the "stalwart"
campaign committee has been fired"
by the North Western railroad be-
cause of his loyalty to the Kittredge
cause. after devoting the best years
of his life to its service this grand old
man" has received his "kibosh" from
this heartless corporation and aside
from the warm sentiments cherished
in the hearts of Allen, Murphy & Co,
has been set adrift in his old age as it
were-cast out upon the mercies Of
a cold world. Such self-sacrifce ON
Lens part IS q sumner. If it were
true we might join Allen in flushing
the sewer with u tears-but alas for
all these fine sentiments and posi-.
bilities. In Brookines city, where the
conditions are known the yarn merely
creates a laugh. The people here
know that Len couldn't be disconnect-
ed from the employment which brings
that little check he gets from the
North Western pay car each month,
by anything short of death, so far as
he is concerned, and as he is obed-
lent and the brass collars need
some one to do their camp work and
shoot their ducks for them when they
take their fall outing, he is n no
danger from them. Don't doubt for
a moment that he will be back at
work for the Nortn-W Western again
when the clouds roll by" He'll be

IMPORTANT TO VOTERS.

When the trainers of the constitu-
their deliberations came to the office
of clerk Of courts they foresaw that
the work Of that office would be along
judicial lines, and instead of placing a
two consecutive term limit upon this
office they placed it in the same class
as the supreme, circuit and county
judgeships, and removed all limita.
tons. The work Of the clerks office
cannot be learned in a month or two
and it is usually a year or more be-
fore an incumbent of this Office is
thoroughly competent to do tie work.
In Beadle county the republicans re,
cognize this fact and have again, with.
out opposition, placed Asher Pays
name on the ticket for this office, al
though he vas first elected clerk OF
courts in 1S9S-aEd they will continue
to keep him in that Office as long as
he cares to serve. The writer is per-
SOnally acquainted with a gentleman
holding the office Of clerk Of courts
in a Minnesota county adjoining the
South Dakota state line, who has held
the Office over twenty years without
interruption and the probabilities are
that he will continue to remain in
the office for many years to come.
Taking into consideration the custom
elsewhere, and the fact that no en-
plOyer will discharge a faithful en-
ployce simply because he has served
him we'll for a number Of years, we
do not believe the Republicans of

primary turn down Fred YOungberG.

cast aspersions upon one of the most

do not try to ride in on hobby. In

people you want the Office for what
there is in it and because you think
you can fill it acceptabIy don't try to
demagogue the people into believing
that you want to serve them because
of the great love you have Cor this or
that cause. Be what you really are.
Be a man and gentleman. Tell the
truth, and il the people want you they
will elect you. Otherwise you will
love a great deal of self respect and
feel ashamed of the dirty tales you cir

Denies Divinity OF Christ.

Rev. H. C. Morrison, the evangelist
and editor of the Pentacostal Herald,
is sending out circulars asking the
voters to repudiate William H. Taft as
he repudiates Christ. He says that the
Republican nominee denies that Jesus
Christ was the Son of God and says
that every minister of the gospel and
layman of the faith, and every mother
who loves the Lord, an every Sabbath
school child in the nation. ought to rise
up and march to the polls on election
day, singing, "All hail the power of
Jesus name," and give Mr.. Taft re-
buke that will go ringing around the
world. IN to heaven, and down through
the centuries.
