TO REPUBLICANS
A Few Timely Suggestions by One
Interested

l. time 70 DtSllr ourselves Il We
expect to accomplish the end for
which our candidates were nomi-
mated.
This IS a crisis in or nation, as
our friend the Hon. Hoke Smith
told us, and if We do not wake up
to the issues of the day and the
level headed conservative men of
our country will not put their
shoulder TO the wheel, the peo-
pie will rule" And It will be the
class Of people too who are ar
ried away by just such oratory
and catchy, slushy doctrine as
was advanced by Mr.. Smith. We
heard him from an unprecedented
standpoint and must admit that
he is an o~rator,a forcible speaker,
and an earne politician and we
think that whatever Mr.. Bryan
may say in behalf of himself and
his own cause, will sound cry
tame in comparison. Mr.. Smith
Is a large powerful built man
with a heavy voice and a good
flow of language but actually de-
void of the chivalry of grand old
southerners, whom we have been
privileged to listen to before. In
speaking of our president, he
never once had the manliness to
call him President Roosevelt but
invariably called him Mr.. Roose-
velt or Roosevelt. While IN the
old days of President CleVeland'S
administration our own speakers,
though denOuncing his policies,
never failed to give the proper
title of president to the man rul-
ing a great nation like ours. He
spoke of the legislation favoring
the few. Twas the merest boSh
for we knew that President Roose-
welt has done more for the common
people and against the trusts and
monopolies than any other man
living. He said 'how much Mr.
Bryan had aged that he was
wearing his life out for the peo-
Pile If he has aged and is
breaking down it has been done
in making his own fortune ana in
his own ACKNOWLEDGMENT. He also
spoke OF the tariff for revenue
only which was tried to our Sor-
row from 1892 to 1896, and of
buying our farm implements
abroad under free trade with moth
ing to buy with. He spoke of the
bread line in New York City
caused by the panic. How mis-
leading. There always has been
a bread line there, and always
will. In a city of over 1000, 600
of people there are many who
cannot work and many more who
will not, who would Starve or beg
if it we're not for charity of the
city rulers who established this
plan. In other large cities on the
globe pedestrians and especially
visitors can scarcely walk a block
without being accosted by beg
CARS and street waits while you
may walk for miles in New York
City and see no more of such
things than here. We who were
priviledged to hear Mr.. Scott,
chairman of the Bureau of Agri-
culture know that he answered
the whole argument of free trade
when he said That the differ
ence in farm products in p~urchas-
ing power between then and now
is this: The farmer then might
buy the binder. Now with the
same number of bushels of grain
he could buy the binder and d
nice surry and have SOC left. And
so like the closing remarks IN a
clear field what would we do in
the brush, tariff tinkering, finance
%tinkering, etc. Be up aud doing
republicans, while it Is day.

Gus. The more -four they sell the
more home grown wheat they will
have to buy and consequently can
pay more money for il, This mill
deserves your patronage because II
Is a home institution, because II
uses home grown wheat, because
It's -four Is the equal Of any -four
you can buy. The only way a
community can be prosperous Is to
keep our money at home. This
you can, should and will do when
you patronize the Monroe City Mill.
Let us one and all stand closer "a

community except to see how much
money they can take away from
our midst.

Samson and Louis XVI.

Three letters written 10y Samson. the
executioner of the terror" are printed
In the Paris Gaulois. one OF the most
interesting OF them is short enough TO
be quoted In full:
"Citizen-I have just learnt that the
rumour Is current that ! am selling or
causing to be sold locks OF the hair OF
Louis Capet If any have in fact been
sold. this abominable trade can only
have been carried on by impostors. The
truth is that | have not allowed any
one In my house TO carry away even
the smallest relic"
Samson, IT appears. had I'm his private
capacity much sympathy with the
king whose head il was his duty in his
professional capacity TO cut off. In
another letter he attributes the courage
with which he met his death to the
firmness OF his religious principles.
and when he himself died In 1906 he
bequeathed money TO pay for masses
for his victims soul

State Superintendent OF Education
Z. ID. Cameron is urging all OF the
County Superintendents TO advise all
of the school districts in the mum.
crous counties of the state to levy a

Under the constitution levy TO ex-
coed ten mills on the dollars valua
tion of property is the maximum but
by a special election held this may
be increased to 10 = Ms The five

school purposes especially in ne

ed and are without buildings.
The constitution provides that five
mills be the levy and that 10 mills
the maximum levy, but under a spe.
cial election the same may be raised
TO Is mills which will be required to
sustain the schools.
The recent law provides that all
first grade county certificates must
be endorsed by all county superin-
tendents and shall be valid any
where in the state. Second g-ade
certificates are valid only in the
county in which they are issued and
It's adjoining counties. Third grade
certificates are valid only in the
counties in which they are issued and
cannot be endorsed in any other
county
The superintendent also calls for

Ardmore proposes by all fai rmaens
