The pioneer citizens of Wash
burn will remember the George
Heffner family and with regret
read the following clipping from
the Turtle Lake Republican: Mrs.
Geo. Heffner died on the home
stead of her daughter, Nettie, near
the Three Buttes, four miles east
of Russo, last week. She was
one of the pioneers Of the county
and encountered many of the
hardships that all the early settlers
had to contend with. She was
noted as a woman who had prac-
tically hewn her own way in the
world, and had always successfully
carried on her business affairs.
All those who were acquainted
with the deceased and her. invalid
daughter, will sympathize with the
latter in her hour Of bereavement.
Interment took place at the Russo

The New Currency Law.

The democratic convention at Denver visited its
condemnation upon the bill that was railroaded
through congress during its closing hours-the bill
that assumed to relieve business interests in times of
financial panic or stringency These things the con-
vention charged upon the republican party
While refusing to rescue the wealth producers
from spoation at the hands of the stock gamblers
and spectators in farm products, it has deposited

force through congress bill changing the basis Of
and has failed give the 100000 depostors of the
country protection in their savings.
Several weeks prior to the Denver convention, the
Philadelphia North American republican
paper, said of the currency law that passed by
congress:
This law will mean the turning over of the treas
ury of the United States to the gamblers Of the New
York stock exchange for a period of six years
1t will mean the making of good times" and bad
times" of "buP' markets and bear" markets
cordng to the pleasure of Rogers and Rockefeller in
the National City Bank and ]. P. Morgan in the
National Bank of Commerce
1t will mean not the slow and certain movements
of contraction and imitation by the natural laws of
commerce but sharp changes forced at will by the
master gamblers.
1t will mean the gift to the chief enemies of the
nation to issue retire half billion of dollars

to whatever suits their betting book
What the effect will be upon the coming elections

punishment long suffering people will nAict upon

Is it your horse your COW! Either may die.
Is it your ability to have good time? Disease may
destroy that.
Is it property of any sort! You may be robbed
Did You think of all these things and then decide
that outside of your loved your most valuable most
important possession is your vote?
1t is that and nothing ese 1t cannot be lost stolen

obey 1t fixes the amount of money which shall be taken
from you in taxes. 1t arranges for your protection in
your enjoyment of life and liberty Millions of men were
slaves to few before got the ballot 1t is that which
guards the poor and the weak against the greed and force
OF the rich and strong is that which gives opportunity
to every to become truly great. But let's have
direct testimony to the Importance and value your

The fellow who knows what your vote can do knows
