CRY POLITICS.


Wecommend the following article
from the Winchester Democrat this
morning. 1t is thes growing opinion
IF The people all overf thee country,
hat party politics should be elimin-
lted from municipal affairs. The
oyernment of a town is purely a
natter of business and the best bus
ness men In the community should
control regardless of their politics
rhe political views of a member of
Council In no way affects State or
National questions. What is for the
betterment of this community is the
only matter to be determined.
The Democrat says: "Ambassa-
dor Bryce is delivering a series of
lectures at Yale on "The Response
biEties of citizenship topic that
should attract attention in all our
educational institutions. The great
est thing after all is to be, an up
right, decent citizen and to see that
this fact has somewhat to do. with
the government, says a writer il
the Ohio State Journal.
Mr.. Bryce being beyond the par
tisan pale, is a fit person to deal with
the subject of civic and political in
stitutions. Here is one thing he saiG
at recent lecture: ''Party spirit in
national politics tends to arouse the
interest of the voters on questions
of national Importance, but in mu-
uicipal affairs it was better to keep
party politics out Of city elections"
We venture to say that at least three
fourths of the people agree with Mr..
Bryce upon this proposition. A state
law has been passed to encourage
the idea. But there seems to be
some power or influence that is able,
to defeat it."

A GENEROUS ACT.

The United States is one of the few
nations of the world which has prac-
ticed In international affairs the same
honor which exists among high
minded men In private life. When
the Boxer troubles took place in
China and the allies marched on Pc
king and captured that great capital.
the nations assessed the Chinese gov
eminent the costs of the war and the
DAMAGES done the missionaries.
After several years of administra-
ton of the fund received by the Unit
ed States and the settlement of all
claims, this government returned
$14,OOO,OO0 to China.
Such an act was unheard of among
the nations. Many of the statesmen
of the old world could not under
stand it. But it was simply putting
in practise as a nation what any
honest man would do as an individ-
ual.
Several days ago, a solemn en-
bassy arrived in San Francisco from
China charged with the duty of con-
veying to President Roosevelt and
the American people, the thanks and
anpreciation of China for the gener-
Gus act. M
Such acts of civic righteousness
reflects itself in its influence on the
average citizen. 1t aids in our con
slant struggle for higher private
life.
And it will have a practical return
in closer relations with the Chinese.
All the nations of the world are seek
ing for the open door in China. All
are striving for this great undevel-
oped Oriental market. We are in a
position to dominate that trade. Our,
situation across the Pacific makes
us and China near neiehbors. And

FAKIRS AND BEGGARS.


Fakirs and beggars are intolerable
nuisances. There is not the shadow
of an excuse for either. In a city
like Winchester, the merchants, as a
rule keep everything that the people
need to buy.
And if they should be out of any
thing they can get it promptly. The
street vendor pays no taxes, no in
surance, no rent and contributes
nothing for the advancement of the
community. The merchants have
done their full share in making a
Greater Winchester. They are en-
titled to protection, and innocent
buyers are also entitled to protection.
In nine cases out of ten, the fakr's
wares are not worth the price. We
are in favor of making the license so
high that the fakirs will be driven
from the streets.
AS to beggars there is not coun-
ty in the State that does not provide
for those that are unable to provide
for themselves. Neither fakirs nor
beggars are allowed to ply their cali.
ing in any first class city. Why
should we be an exception?

Washington, Nov. 27-The pres
sence of President Roosevelt at the
laying of the cornerstone of the new
home for the Colored Young Mems
Christian association made the event
most notable one among the col
ored people of the District of Column
bia. Although the weather was not
suitable for an out of door ceremony
OF this nature, the attendance was
large, including not only a great
gathering of colored residents, but
many distinguished officials of the
federal and local government.
During the course of his re-
marks the president said: Let us
all strive, according to our ability
and as far as the conditions will per-
nit, 20 secure to the man of one color
who behaves uprightly and honestly,
with thrift and with foresight, the
same opportunity for reward and for
living his life under the protection
of the law and without molestation
by outsiders, that would be his if he
were of another color. The avenues
Of empioymr mt should be open to one
as to the other; the protection of the
laws should be guaranteed to one as
to the other. The performance of
duty should be the test applied to
white man and colored man alike,
and each individual should be judged
not by the fact of his color, but by
the Way in which he meats theca do
mands of duty; and the first duty
which each colored man owes both
to himself and his race is to work for
the betterment both of himself and
his race"
He also called attention to the
town of Mound Bayou, Miss, peopled
entirely by colored people, and in
which there is not a saloon or vicious
resort of any kind

BOAST OF OUR CONTINENT.
America Has the Worlds Supply Of
Humming Birds.

Though the art museums of Europe
may have some treasures of which
America cannot boast, our continent
has the distinction of a monopoly of
the worlds supply of humming birds,
the gems of all the ~feathered creation.
OF these there are said to be some 400
species-the 400 we may call them
nearly all of which are peculiar to the
tropical regions. Only Is cross the
borders of the United States from
Mexico, and occur only in our south
western states.
The popular idea is that the hum
mer lives only On honey, gathered
from flowers. This is . mistake. The
bird does secure some honey, but its
food consists mainly of the small In
sects which frequent the flowers. Some
of these insects are injurious to the
blossom, and the tiny bird fulflls a
useful function in destroying them.
That the hummer is insectivorous is
also shown by its habit Of catching
tiny insects on the wing, which is
occasionally observed.-H H. K. Job. IN

How to keep our homes clean, sweet

the theory that "An Ounce of Proven

and no ounce of prevention has yet

more direct and more effective, yet
harmless to the human system, than
Borax.
Borax has been known and used for
generations as a purifier and proven
tive against epidemic influences orig
mating from u~ncleanly conditions re-
sulting from unsanitary sinks and
drains, and when used as a hot solu-
ton in the proportion of two table,
spoonfuls to a gallon of hot water
flushed through the offending loca-
tons, removes every trace of disease
germs and renders the pipes clean
and wholesome.
Borax in addition to it's hygienic
qualities, is a household necessity, and
a be used for numberless domestic
purposes. 1t softens the water, makes
linen dazzling white, will cleanse

THE STORY.

THE STORY.
THE choosing of a wife is one of
N the most important steps of life.
1t is a matter which must not be
considered hastily. Sentiment must
not be allowed to run away with judg-
ment or expediency cover up the OBJ
legation which one owes to God and
Gods law. Where love is based on
something deeper than mere physi-
cal beauty, and on something higher
than mere human attainment; in
other words, where love includes in
it's inspiration and its expression the
thought of loyalty and devotion to
God, then and then only is love a safe
guide. Sentiment and passion are not
love, and e~xpediency and convenience
are sign posts which point to the
matrimonial whirlpool of disappoint-
ment and ruin. Man was intended
for woman and woman for man, but
Gcd intended that they should be
mated and not mismated. What God
joins together is eve put asunder.
1t was no secret in Israel that a wife
was being sought for the young and
handsome King Solomon. Since his
coming to the throne it had been
recognized as one of the important
matters requiring solution. With the
chief men OF the nation and those
close to the king in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the nation it
was a question as to where they
should look for a consort for their
king.
More than mi of the chief men OF
the nation secretly wished that his
W fair daughter might be the one
selected to be queen, but. each with
becoming modesty %refrained from
openly advancing the claims of their
respective daughters, so that appar.
entity no progress was made in the
quest for a wife for Solomon.
And perhaps the n least con-
cerned ovel the matter was Solomon
himself. His had been q busy life
