tied him with honesty of purpose in
his private life and patriotic purpose
in his official life, and the worst
enemy OF the dead president could
not have more perfectly misrepresent-
ed his mental attitude toward public
affairs than to proclaim that if living,
he would have advocated the candi-
dacy of one who was arrayed as a
leader against the party that had
twice made him president; one who
was standing on platform that
placed that candidates party outside
the pale of common honesty; a plat
form that promulgated political tenet
that had for its central thought So
cialistic seed.
For a party today that it will not
proclaim the source of its campaign
income is for that party to say that it
expects income from sources that it
dare not proclaim.
Can anyone imagine Grover Cleve-
land, whose primal Characteristic was
honesty. advocating the election of a
candidate who stood for admitted dis
honesty of purpose?
IF the postal savings bank is es-
| tablished, the federal government
goes into the banking business and
| socialism is just that, viz: The intro
duction of the government into the
field of private enterprise. Can any
one imagine that stern old individual
ist Grover Cleveland advocating the
election of one who stood for even
Semi-Socialism?
Obligation is Accepted.
'In 1896 and 1900 Mr.. Cleveland
was silent. although it was recognized
that he did not approve of all fol
which democracy stood in those years
but he recognized the obligation that
rested upon him and saw clearly the
path to propriety that these obliga
can lay claim at once to candor and
an appreciation of Mr.. Cleveland's
character say that in the year wher
the national democracy is united ant
his personal adherents have CLOSED
the ranks and eliminated all strife
his voice would have been lifted fol
the creation of discord?
"To misconstrue the dead who have
known naught but private life is I;
shameful thing; TO misconstrue thu
dead whose life is a part of his coun
try's history, and to exploit that mis-
representation as a political asset, il
both a shameful and wicked thing.

Size of Plurality of Interest.
With Proutys election admitted by
all opposing party leaders. the ques-

of the size of his plurality over Burke

siderable bearing on the conduct OF
the national campaign.

Dakota have ordered the side
track put in between here and

at that place offered to do all
the necessary grading, aud it
was with this understanding
that the side track order was
made by the com missioners.
We have heard consld ole
talk as to the effect this would
have on the business of Wagner,
and the general opinion seems
to be that we viii not notice
much difference, aud that the
people of Avon are the ones who
will be the hardest hit. Avon

Evidences of Prosperity

In driving over the country
around Wagner one is impress
ed with the many evidences of
the prosperity OF u people.
Hundreds Of acres of new land
are being broken up, new houses
aud ontbuildings are being
erected, and many new farms
are being fenced. Not many
years ago, when We wanted to
drive any where, We "angled
across the country in most any
direction. Now we have 70 keep
to the section line roads, or we
are liable To run into a ''circum
stance and not a very pleasant
one, either. The country has
developed until it would be al
most strange to those who used
to live here. should they ever
return here for a visit.

 The excellent condition of Birmingham 5 youth is due to the encouragement re- ceived from prominent citizens. w. D. Nesbitt is a tireless worker. Mayor Ward and the city administration have given their aid. James Bowron has been a power for good. The Miles brothers at the Birmingham Athletic club are to be congratulated. Chairman Shute deserves great credit. L. H. Putnam of the Boys club, has done his share, too. Judge Feagin has given his aid and encourage ment. If this state of affairs continues, Birmingham's youth will be stronger, and more able than that of any other south ern city. The people in Birmingham seem to realize that which college professors often overlook-that strong body is strong minu and a clean character
