Republican candidate their electoral
vote but chose their governors from
the Democratic party. In Illinois and
New York and Michigan the Repub-
lican governors elect ran far behind
their tickets.
In the contests for state executive
mentioned there we're special and ex-
traordinary reasons for the fight
against the Republican nominees.
These are generally understood. But
TIE significance of the result is not
changed thereby.
In Indiana congressional districts
there was almost a revolution, the
relative standing of the parties in the
lower house being reversed. In many
local struggle party lines were en-
ltirely obllterated voters acting with
an independence notable for its bold
ness.
The blanket sheet ballot demanded
under the Australian system OF vot-
ing tended toward the casting OF
straight tickets, owing to the danger
of loss of vote because of faulty mark
ing.
Even this did not prove a deter
REM to individual discrimination with
in the polling booths. People are
gradually becoming educated how to
mark the clumsy sheet.
Ina number Of instances. such as
that OF the contest between Stone
and Folk for the Missouri senatorship,
there was an apparent triumph for
machine methods against the desires
OF the better class of citizens.
A closer examination OF the returns
even there seems to show distinct
gain for the cause Of the intelligent
and discriminating e.ector.
Not the least interesting Of the af-
ter thoughts OF the voter is that
which demands a separation of local
issues from national by the return to
the once common plan OF holding cleo
tons al different times instead OF
massing 81 the politics" in a single
campaign.
Those who have been trying to de-
velop sentiment in favor OF more Sc
rious study Of candidates find much
to cheer them in the result of the
1908 Ell ctions.
The politicians have ruled in the
past. There IS increasing evidence
that the people intend to take charge
of matters in the future.

PATRIOTISM

Patriotism and religion are two
th;ngs-self-sacrif and service
producing heroes and martyrs in times
of great need; little practiced in ev-
cry day life. Few of us conduct our
business and live our lives with the
one end in view. to be OF service 60

relations TO the government. city,
state and nation, willingly make sac
rifice for the common good. Jury
duty and election duty are begrudged
the time OF the best men in the land
Selfish, private interests hold them
back.
One of the strangest perversions OF
mans relations to the state Ia appar.
ent in the every day dealings between

Local dealers combine to fix a price
and bid for public supplies. An out
side concern offers the city a price
far below the offer OF the local deal
ers. If the city presumes to buy at
the lowest price; cry goes up that
the city should buy of tax payers"
That Is the cry of universal graft.
Patrlotism-service - self-sacrifice-
would have induced q local dealer to
sell to the city at cost. or. at least,
as low as an outsider would sell. Yet
80 per cent of the population would
join in just such a cry; buy of the
tax payer"

PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS.

A recently Invented system for re-
ducing cotton stalks to a suitable
form for the manufacture of paper
lis described in Farm ana Ranch.
According TO this paper most of the
difficulties which have hitherto pre-
vented the accomplishment OF this
task appear now to have been solved.
Says the writer:
For many years experts have
been engaged in devising some
method for producing in a satisfac-
tory manner paper from cotton
stalks. With the new invention, II
Is claimed, farmers in the south will
have great use for the discarded cot
ton stalks. which have hitherto been
either thrown away or burned. II
has been demonstrated that by the
new process the heretofore waste pro
duct can be made into pulp and paper
OF good commercial quality"
Comparing the cost OF production
of cotton stalk paper over that OF
straw paper. the writer finds that
there is difference OF sl.1Q in favo.
of the cotton stalks. II Is estimated
that cotton stalk paper costs s1i a
ton. straw paper $1S.35, while
ground wood as stock for paper man
ufacture costs from SIS to 500 9
ton, and bleaehed suliite costs from
$50 to SEQ for the domestic and con.
siderably more for foreign stock
According to these figures the cos

HONESTY.

Honesty Is not an attribute of a
mans relation to others, or a mere
technieality Of the law. Honesty is
quality that exists. regardless Of legal
structures and the presence OF a party
OF the second part. If one should
take a dollar from another's pocket
and spend Il or gamble It away. and
the other should leain the truth, the
law would say the one was a thief
the person losing the money would
know he was a thief and he would
know il himself If one should owe
another man a dollar and the debt
was due and he had the dollar, but
should spend IT or gamble It away, the
law would not call him a thief and
the creditor might not be any the
wiser; but what could ne think OF
himself? After all, If a man hasn't
enough self-respect to value his own
opinion as highly as he does that of
Others, he is -ather hopeless morally.

Stories Around
the Town,

o. J. Jennings, editor of the Muir
ray Ledger. who made the race for
county clerk of Galloway county on
an apparently unpopular ticket, takes
his defeat philosophically ana in his
characteristic way tells many anus
ing incidents of his campaign. Ont
OF his best Is a story he tells on an
other candidate who went down in
defeat with him and who also repre-
sented the same faction In Galloway
politics. According TO Mr.. Jenning,
the issues were so clearly drawn that
IL was decided by can iidates friendly
to himself that they pool their cam
paign fund, so a meeting was called
in Mr.. Jennings office and the mat
ter was discussed. All the candidates
present agreed on putting up a pro
rata amount except one, whose name
is withheld. This one was so conf
dent that he hal his race won by ex-
ceeding 500 majority he would not
contribute. whats the use OF me
spending money said he. 81 al
ready have my race won and / don't
care to spend my money to help you
fellows"
Well. the over-confident candidate
was mistaken, like thousands Of
others have been, and when the votes
were counted he was behind his only
opponent. The next day he went
around 10 Jennings. who was beaten
several hundred votes, and began TO
talk contest and leading up to the
subject declared that It would be
cheaper for the defeated candidates
to pool funds and make a general
contest. and Mr.. Jennings reply was
something like this:
What's the use of me spending
money? / got beat and have sense
enough to know il, and don't care
to spend money to help you"

 When the great Chicago & Northwestern Railroad Company was sitting her labor not long since the order was:-" Keep the total abstainers. Ev n though they may not be quite as expert workmen as some of those who drink, let it be re membered that a sober man is better laborer, even though he be not quite so good, than one who drinks. "
 So say we as to our next gov, ernor. We hear the question, Is the one who declared for prohibition as strong a man as some of the other candidates?" If not so strong in some points, and we would not say he isn't, we make bold to say that any thing else in the world can wait for adjustment rather than our morals. If we can get the state sober, the other difficulties will be more easily remedied.
 Let us have all the candidates declare themselves on this pro- hibition issue, and then with might and main work for the cleanest man.
