ing the gospel of Democracy and good
government in the states where the
batteries of the Republican party
have been turned loose.
The Democratic party has no claim
on the protected interests. The trusts
are not furnishing the sinews of war
for a campaign that is being waged
against the policies by which they
nave grown rich. On the contrary. the
Democratic party must look to the peo-
pie for the sinews of war with which
to complete this battle for the rights
of the many against the privileges of
the few.
Contrary to pessimistic prediction in
the beginning of the campaign, the
idea of popular subscriptions has
proven a winner, and ample funds
have thus far been provided for all
legitimate needs.
But the final charge is yet to be
made. The last days of the campaign
will probably decide the contestant
the Democratic party must hold the
ground which it has already gained
and evangelize new territory. if pos

campaign fund can be used for this

it-More if you choose. But con-
tribute something, anyway. Every
cent will be cheerfully received.

signed GRANDMOTHERS'
NAME To The CHECKS
Drew $113.4o From Citizens Bank,
Which Amount Has Been Refunded.
Signature Was Fine Imitation Of the
Original Signatures of Mrs. Meador.

Deputy Sheriff Dan McGilvray ar
rested Jack Brantley, a young white
man, last night on charge of passing
forged checks on the Citizens bank.
1t is alleged that the young man
signed the name of his grandmother,
Mrs. L. P. Meador, to a number of
checks without having her authority
for so doing, the total amount received
by him being $1134O.
Brantley was found at the home of
his father-in-law, Mr.. Wilkins, about
four miles from the city. He had
made no effort to leave and it is said
that the young mans father stated
last night that the matter had been
arranged, but he was brought to the
city and placed in jail. He was placed
in the cell with another man and the
night sergeant at the police station
kept a close watch on them as ne
thought he heard noises that indicated
'h'" 'hS hiSh WSlS Trying 10 get out,
but when he investigated he found
them quiet.
A meeting of the directors of the
Citizens Bank was called this morn
ing, and, while in session, some of the
bona fide signatures, as we'll as some
of the forged signatures. were pre-
scented, and they were so similar that
different members found it very diff.
ficult to distinguish the difference. :.
cause Of the striking resemblance be-
tween the genuine and the forged the
body exonerated the employees of the
bank. Mrs. L. P. Meador came in this
morning and relieved the bank of anv
further liability by giving her check

I he Born Gentleman.

That prince of gentlemen, Sir Philip
| Sidney, said: High erected thoughts
are seated in the heart of courtesy"
And the saying is just as true today
as ever before
But good manners, like good clothes,
are best when not conspicuous. AS.
sumed courtesy is vulgar, and the dis.
corning man or woman is not deceived
in the metal by its shoddy polish. The
element of display should be altogeth-
err lacking.
Manners are minor morals and of
scarcely less importance, for, while
we need morals only upon important
occasion in the crisis. as it were. of
our lives, we need our manners every
day Morals are good taste in great
things; manners conscience in little
things.
Edmund Burke goes so far as to say
that manners are of more Importance
than laws. Upon manners. he de.
clares, "in a great measure the laws
depend. The law touches US but here
and there, and now and then. Man.
ners are what vex or soothe. corrupt
or purify, eXalt or debase barbarize
or refine us, by constant, steady, uni
form, insensible operation like that of
the air we breathe in. They give their
whole form and color to our lives. Ac.
cording to their quality they aid NOR
ais; they supply them or they totally
destroy them"
The business advantage of good
manners is universally recognized in
civilized countries. The social stand.
ard throughout Christendom is high.
The plainest people often have beau
tiful manners. They come natural to
gardeners and people who have to
work in the open air. The inhabitant
.of the cottage may be better hammered
than the boor who lives in a mansion.
Nor are good manners confined to
race. Some of the old uncles and
aunties among the ante-bellum ne
groes were splendid in their behavior
and the old mammies bore themselves
as examples to any school of deport-
ment in the world.
Books of etiquette are useless. and
rules of conduct of little avail Good
manners come only from a good heart.
The root of proper bearing is in con.
sideration for others and forgetfulness
Of self Brass may be polished;
pure gold is not capable of such a bur.
nishment. The ideal is not in bowling
and scraping, or flourishes, but in gen.
tie feeling, kindness, and that charity
which is the quintessence of Chris
tianity

the donors and the amounts they con-
tribute over and above a hundred dol
lars the people can get a pretty good
idea of the financial influence being
used in the interests of the Democratic
ticket and who is using that influence
A preliminary publication of the
larger contributors shows that the big
gest contributions are not sufficient
in size to arouse suspicion of undue
motives or wrongful methods in rails
ing and distributing the funds to con-
duct the campaign. There are no
large contributions from trusts and
special interests with axes to grind, as
in the case of the Republican cam
paign through which fairfield inter-
ests desire to keep in power their po-
litical agents to continue the favor
itism upon which these interests have
grown fabulously rich, and from which
the millions of consumers have been
burdened for years.
The sum total of the funds raised
for the Democratic campaign up to this
time is published as less than $3.50, 000
This was raised by large numbers of
contributors and includes the dollar
fund which was widely responded to
all over the country as we'll as the
funds raised by Democratic newspa-
pers and made up of many small con-
tributions The total amount bears a
striking contrast with the $1,000
raised by one trust magnate in New
York in two or three days for the Re-
publican campaign of 1904, and the
contributions by big insurance COM
panies and other great financial inter.
ests ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
each, and exposed under the pressure
of public sentiment.
The two systems of raising and dis
tributing campaign funds for the presi-
dental election cannot fail to attract
widespread attention and create much
comment. One system is adopted as a
legitimate measure to meet the legit.
innate expenses of the campaign. The
other is a vicious method of corrupting
the voters and debauching the cleo
lions in the interests of trusts and
monopolies in their efforts to control
legislation at Washington.
The self-respecting, fair minded vot-
err who believes in individual liberty
and in the rule of the people must
necessarily be impressed by the con.
trast. The Republican party an
nounces its purpose to publish the
names of the contributors after the
election. That will be too late to adj
wise the people who is controlling their
elections. The dirty work will have
already been done then. The Repub-
hcan proposition is like locking the
stable door after the horse has been
stolen.
