Remember the Old Folks.

The Christmas feeling is beginning to move
within US we relax our grip upon routine, slow
up on the march, and look about us with kind
lier interest in our fellow man Benevoence
softens us, and we surrender to the spell of
the unseen angel of Doing Good
There's no danger that the children will not
be made happy-We cannot forget the children.
From illumned mansion to darkened howell the
little ones will be made glad
Neither will there be forgetfu1ness of the
sick, the suffering, the poor Charity will go,
with open hand and radiant face, and minister
to the wants of every unfortunate.
But there are Others besides the children
and the afflicted, who should be remembered.
They are the Old Folks
Their lives have contracted until the path is
SO very, very narrow. Their interests are few.
A loneliness that words can never express is
upon them. They are haunted by memories.
Voices from out the Past call to thenl-voices
of lost friends, lost children, lost husband or
wife. The Present gives them little: the Flu
ture offers them nothing. Nothing? Nothing
but the Inevitable from which they recoil in
horror, SO long as life gives anything at all
Be kind to these Old Folks Be attentive to
them. Give them the cheering word and the
warm hand-shake, and the hearty smile. New
er let them feel that their day is over. Indeed,
it need not ever be over until the last day has
come and gone for there is beautiful and use
full Old Age that is beautiful and useful to the
end.
We ourselves can add immensely to the
comfort and gentle resignation and cheerful
helpfulness which give to the evening of life
the lovely after-gow which insensib1y fades
into the night.

The Bryanife Doodle.

According to their published statement, the
defeat of Bryan cost the Democrats $6I8ooo.
All funerals come high in this land of Trusts,
but it seems to us that the Bryanite "wake"
would have been just as successful had the pa
triots spent less money.
For instance, they paid $4,000 for room
rent at the Democratic headquarters. A rental
of more than three thousand dollars per month
for headquarters furnishes fine specimen of
Jefersonian simplicity.
The Door-keeper got $4,000 for 'minding the
gap" and keeping out undesirable citizens"
''malefactors of great wealth" and suspicious
characters generally.
The Advisory Committee took $1,000, and if
they gave Bryan any advice that was worth

the tail wag the dog? And what is Bryan to
do, if you divorce him from the Haskells, the
Roger Sullivans, the Charles Murphys the Pat
McCarrens, the Fingy Connerses, and the Tom
Taggarts?
You say, Brother Flannery, that "honest
Democrats must be put on the election boards
IN every precinct in the United States" NV
secret opinion is that you haven't got enough
honest Democrats" to 60 around, Thomas
Mighty few Democrats have any election

pounded by Mr.. Bryan. The replies INDICATE
the nature of the inquiries.

First, Mr.. BRYAN carried my precinct by 100
majority, a gain of I2o votes, because there

dishonest Democrats on some of the election
boards in said county Third Adopt the Den

Put honest Democrats on the election boards
in every precinct in the United States This is
the course the reformers in the Democratic
party should adopt in the future. The Demo

hfteen-years sentence for one crime of the same
general character as were the many crimes of
Tom Alexander.
The power of family influence, in the latter
case, is revealed by the fact that the sentence
imposed when Alexander pleaded guilty was
only six years.
The power of family influence is revealed
again by the fact that Governor Smith has par
doned this commtter of many fe1onies when
he has served but two years of his sentence
AS matter of fact, Tom Alexander has had
no real punishment at ALL his confinement hav-
ing been little more than form.
The statute requires that the Governor make
report to the Legislature giving the reasons
which influence him to pardon convicts
Has Gov. Smith been obeying the law in
this respect? Did he ever tell the Legislature
why he pardoned w alline-the young, unraar-
ried man who first insulted mans wife and
then killed the man?
II So we have never heard Of it.
Is he going to tell the Legislature why he
pardoned Tom Alexander?
If SO, we hope for the good name of the
state, that he will not say that his extraordi-
nary clemency was the result of the plea made
in Alexander's behalf, to wit-that the Grim
inal was a man of such refinement that two
years in the penitentiary for such a man, were
equal to twenty or thirty years punishment for
the average person.
What reproach to our state that such
plea should have been heard,-AND NOT RE
BUKED!
According to that reasoning, forgers and
swind1ers who are still more refined than Tom
Alexander should not even be arraigned. Their
feelings must not be hurt,-the sensitive gen
tlemen!
FOR SHAME! FOR SHAME!! AS if the
guilt of such man as Alexander were not far
more damning than that of some miserable
creature who has never been educated, never
had gentle horne-training, never known the
purifying influence of mother and sister and
wife, never had anything in this world but
hard knocks, AND NEVER KNOWN WHAT
1T WAS TO BE FREE FROM THE WOLF
FANGS OF POVERTY!

Land Policy in Ireland and in the
PhiIibbiueS.

By conquest, England got title to the land
of the Irish people, and for centuries they suf-
fered every conceivable species of wrong that
the oppressor can inhict upon the oppressed.
Naturally, the Irish hated the conquerors who
had despoiled them, and the story Of the TN
happy land is CHASTITY narrative of the ruth
lessness of British tyranny and the ferocity of
Irish retaliation.
The land question always stood out con-
spicuously amid the general murl1 of trouble
Vast estates carved out by the English mobiles,
for themselves, were the source of supply for
absentee landlords who squandered in London
or Paris the rents Wrung from the Irish ten
ants.
In the minds and hearts of these people ran
killed. the knowledge that the land was theirs.
Title by conquest they could never be brought
to reverence At first their leaders struck bold

Speaking in Parliament last week, Mr. Birrell
declared that the land-purchase policy had

Mr. Birrell stated that about half of the land
in Ireland had already passed from the land

SOMEHOW things sometimes don't
work according to our ideas Of
cause and effect. 1t would seem
natural that with the closing OF the
saloon one day out OF every seven,
there ought to be a corresponding
reduction of the consumption OF
"wet goods" But in st. Louis, UNI
der Folk, it is "on the contrary
quite the reverse" l quote this
interesting paragraph from this
weeks Censor:
Has crime been lessened.? Has
the consumption of beer decreas-
ed through making prohibition eff
fective during one-seventh Of the
time? AS to the last, Beer Inspec-
tor Marshall can make answer,
both specific and convincing, as
he collects a tax on all beer sold.
Mr.. Marshall testifies to me that
the beer tax for the present year
beats all records for "a like time!
That actually more tax has been
paid on beer this year, than was
paid even in the Worlds Fair
year, with hundreds of thousands
of strangers in the city! What do
you think of that? Does not it APP
pear to you convincing proof that
the policy of prescription and pro-
hIbition followed by Folk is wick
eddy useless and inexcusable?
Does it not make clear the fact
that so far from limiting the con-
sumption of beer, a Calyinistic
Sunday positively promotes such
consumption? Or, are you a pro-
hibitionist and therefore do YOU
thinking with your lungs instead
of your brain? In this connection
Mr.. Marshall comments on thu
methods of one OF the doped dali
lies. The Republic, for some rea'

to be the busiest man in town.
Mr.. Bond always does good work,

lives on Imboden, will have three
or four hundred bushels Of apples

DR.. j. @. Adams last week sold
to Mrs. Anna Logan his property
in this town. The property con-
sists of a house and lot, with good
out-buildings, and Office, and a
half interest in the store building,
now occupied by w. R. Read.
The price paid for the property,
we are reliably informed, was
5000. Mrs. Logan also purchas-
ed from w. r. Read his half of the
store building in question, the
consideration being $3.50. This
makes Mrs. Logan sole owner OF
the store building, warehouse,
and Office, which are all under the
same roof. Mr.. Read, however,
will still continue to do business
in the same store building, having
we understand, a written contract
for the use of the building for a
period of ten years or longer, il
desired. We are not definitely
advised as to what DR.. Adams con-
templates doing, but understand
that he wrll remain here until the
first of September, when he will
leave permanently to locate in
Wyoming. DR.. Adams located
here some ten years ago, with
considerable opposition to over
come, and to-day he has as large
q practice as any physician il
southeast Missoui. The writer
has, for more than twenty years
been personally acquainted witt
Dr.. Adams, knows him to be a
skilled physician, a good man
and wishes for him and his family
success wherever they may go.
