A WORTHY EXAMPLE.

A special from Temple says: with
in rs minutes last night $4,000 was
subscribed by the citizens of Temple
TO the proposed interurban electric
railroad between Temple. Waco and
Marlin. This amount was subscribed
by 2S people, no amount of less than
500 being put down. During the
progress of the meeting a message
was received from Marlin stating that
the citizens there had subscribed si2,.
600 of the $4,000 asked of Marlin and
Temple, respectively Temple has yet
to secure $4,000, which will be done
within a day or two, when the citizens
will be ready to tell the promoters TO
go ahead with their work"
The Eagle has several times men
toned the interurban line referred TO
i'm the above and commended the en-.
terprise of those promoting II, espec
tally the people of Marlin. Fifty
thousand is a large amount to be sub
scribed by a town of the size of Mar.
lin. ga
In spite OF the hard times and the
falling of in railroad construction the
building of interurban lines has suf.
fered little interruption. This Is the
best evidence i'm the world that such
enterprises are profitable and the
business interests OF enterprising
towns are awake to their opportuni.
ties. The increasing activity in this
line of improvement as well as the
revival of railroad construction are
indications Of the approach of better
times.
During the long, weary months of
business depression the Eagle has not
insisted on a revival Of the Bryan.
College trolley line agitation, but il
believes that the time is now aus
picious for taking II up again. Let
us at least keep the matter before us
and let no opportunity pass TO land It
The Eagle understands that capital
from the outside has recently mani
tested an interest in the project, and
believes that the time is not far dis
tant when renewed interest will be
felt in the enterprise.

LOYALTY TO The PARTY

We hear much talk from some peo-
pile about being loyal to your own
home, your own town, and your own
county. And this is all right We
believe in it. And we believe it should
extend to the church, the lodge, the
political party. But there are too
many people who belong to the lodge,
the church, the party, and enjoy its
honor, it's prest ige andprivilege, who
seem to take special pride in finding
fault with its policy, its membership,
and work. They assume that criticism
is sigh of virtue, and finding fault
an evidence of superiority. This is
very noticeable in every political
campaign. There are those who boast
of belonging to the Republican party.
They participate in its primaries and
rejoice in its triumph. But they are
n3t satisfied. When nominations are
not according to their notions, they
are disgruntled. They arej just as good
republicans as anybody, they say,
but they don't like this man or that
man, and, therefore they will not vote
for him. Instead of that they will
talk and work and vote for the enemy.
They are just like some boys on the
playground. AS long as they can have
their own way, they are all right and
put up good game: but when some
one else has his way, they are all off
and quit and pout and won't play any
more until the are coaxed and humored
to take part again. We like to see a
man who stands by his party and its
nominees through defeat as well as
success. One who doesn't backslide
between elections and who doesn't des.
pair when the enemy wins. If you are
a Republican, be one every day in the
year. If you are Republican, be
loyal to the party. Be loyal to its
principles. Be loyal to the ticket. BE
loyal to every man on the ticket.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAs
An Interstate Celebration at Omaha
November e, 1908

Audubon knights of Pythias are
making arrangements to prepare d
class of candidates for the Inter- state
celebration to be held in Omaha, Neb.
November 23rd, 1908. II will be the
fortieth anniversary Of the organiza-
ton of Nebraska Lodge No. /, Nov.
BIRD, 1868, and was the first permanent
lodge instituted west of the Allegheny
mountains. This will be an Interstate
celebration lasting all day and all
night. The Auditorium has been en-
gagged for the occasion with seating
capacity of over twelve thousand.
The afternoon program will be pub
lie. The lola degree team of Dayton,
Ohio, the finest degree team in the
world, consisting of one hundred
members, including fifteen members of
the orchestra, will put on the drama
of Damon and Pythias; and in the
evening will confer the third rank up
on all those ready for the work. They
expect about one thousand Esquires
will be present to receive the third
rank. The paraphernalia used by
this team, is the finest in the world,
and said to cost 100000. They have
given the drama and the degree work
in the largest cities of the country.
Audubon Lodge has engaged a num-
Der of seats, and we would suggest
that any knights who contemplate
taking this trip, notify K. of II. & S.
or M. of f. at an early day, that ad-
ditional seats may be engaged. For
any Knight, who has not seen this
team work, and those who take
this degree at this time, it will be an
event of their lives,

est market. Again the county purchas-
es blanks as they are needed, usually
in lots Of fifty to a hundred and pay
about an average of sixty cents for
fifty or a dollar per hundred for sim
gle sheet blank. These blanks are
kept in stock by the large companies
and can therefore be furnished at rea-
sonablerates. The Journal we'll knows,
as shown by the files of the Auditors
office, that it would ask from two to
three dollars per hundred, in fifty or
q hundred lots, for the making OF
these blanks.
The Journal also left the impression
in its article that it had received from
the county but Fifteen Dollars Worth
of printing this year to date. The facts
are that the said Audubon County
Journal has received from Audubon
county since the first day of January
1854 90; The Audubon County Repub-
lican, S720.03; and The Advocate,
1925. SO.
All of the above in regard to bills
are facts gathered from the records of
the Auditors Office. The Board SUBJ
mits them to the public and feels that
further comment is unnecessary.

CO Mpl.lMENTARY VOTES

There may be times when, because
of close friendship or relationship,
voter may be justified in casting his
vote for member of the opposite par
ty. But when it means the sacrifice of
party principle or upright party can
didates, it is time to call halt. The
democrats are great fellows to wheedle
around republicans and beg for COM
plimentary votes just as matter of
friendship or q Good home vote. "
should not be deceived by
any such fattery, and especially so in
this year of grace, 1908. Of all things
republicans should not sacrifice a
good man running on their own ticket
for the purpose of casting compliment
tary votes for the enemy. Never has
ticket been nominated with a higher
class of men than those on the repub-
lican ticket this year from president
to the bottom. Vote for all of them.

STATEMENT BY Mr.. KELLOGG

The Advocate says: 1.-THE county
has paid out more interest than it has
received" This is a gross misrepre-
sentation as The Advocate we'll knows.
There has not been county warrant
drawing interest since March, 1908
And the interest paid out on county
warrants, registered since January l.,
1907, is less than fifty dollars; and
the interest earnings on money in
bank is over nine hundred dollars.
Will you vote or work for a man for
county treasurer who runs a campaign
of misrepresentation and fraud? Or
for a man who has saved money for
the taxpayers of Audubon county and
whose records always opentor inspec-
tion will prove it?

Heart to Heart
Talks.
Ru EnWIM A MXE
THE FRONT PORCH.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.


During these days the country is
being edited from the front porch.
In the south the porch is more or
less of an all year institution. In the
north for seven or eight months in the
year the front porch is like the plat
form of a street car-of use only to
get on. But during the good old sum-
mer time it justifies its existence north
and south.
The front porch now ceases to be
the mere threshold of the house. 1t
becomes sitting room, sewing room,
nursery and library. 1t is the hearth
stone transferred to the open.
Here sits the family and solaces it
self. Inoffensive gossip floats serene
ly-and wisdom also. Here is the
forum. Here many grave problems
are sorted and settled. and laughter
and good cheer have place.
If you would study the average
American family in it's normal state,
observe the family as it sits on the
front porch after supper, amiably criti-
cising its neighbors or discussing the
evening paper or family or state af-
fairs, laughing at the play of children
good humored, satisfied with itself
optimistic, hearty, genial
And if you will watch close enough
you will observe the play of sentiment
and the undertone of wise judgment.
1t does not matter how pretentious
or how humble may be the front porch
1t is part and parcel of that home life
| on which is builded the real strength
Of this nation. The front porch is re-
lated to that family life in summer as
| is the Preside in winter.
| The porch may proximate the gram
| deur of wide and stored veranda.
or it may be only a humble stoop or
only few steps. But
Here foregathers that little republic,
the family.
In America, because of this custom
of the family, the front porch arises to
the dignity of national institution.
While it is not one of the things for
which the fathers fought, it is parcel
Of the heritage they bequeathed to us.
And it is as potent in its day as was
the town meeting Of its day.
