The Olympia Recorder says that
elf it is worth while for a republican
to vote for Taft for president and
Cosgrove for governor. it is also
worth while for him to vote for the
candidates on the republican ticket
straight through. The democrats of
this county. realizing they are hope
lessly outnumbered and have no
chance of landing even a single office
save through disloyalty on the part
of republicans knitting their own
ticket, are concentrating their efforts
in behalf of two or three of their can
didates. and are using every kind of
a plea or argument thought likely to
have effect. The republicans will
prove too wise and too loyal to per-
nit their jealous prejudices to be
played upon in this manner to the
possible undoing of any republican
candidate.

81 think we want to urge more
strenously upon young men the need.
the absolute necessity, that IN the
appointed and demanded work OF
their life they should look for and
should find the JOY of their life. To
do your work because you must: to
do your work as slavery. and then,
having got it done as speedily and
easily as possible. to look somewhere
else for enjoyment-that makes a
very dreary life. No man who works
so does the best work. No man who
works go fingers lovingly over his
work and asks himself it there is not
something lie can do to make it more
perfect. My meat is to do the will
of Him that sent me. and to finish
his work.. said Jesus. Philips
