Now my advise to the young

lends enchantment to the view.

TO making her daughter, Miss

always teach school, and a young
man in the south part of the
county knows exactly why.
Some weeks since we took oc-
casion to mention that a certain
gentleman in the neighborhood
had commeced wearing sox.
We understand that he denies
the charge as being absolutely
false and without foundation
We also understand the afore-
said gentleman spends several
hours each day clawing chunks
cut of the air because of his IN
bottled wrath. It is our opinion
that when a persons bile is work
ing in such manner, and whose
alimentary canal is so studded
with warts that he cannot accept
little free advertising, he had
Setter forget about the banking
business and go into the bull
business and remain there.

Men Who Work.

The demand of the times is for
men-men who are willing to take
off their coats and go to work.
The country has plenty of law
yerS, and musicians. and preach
ers, and editors, and others who
conspicuously fail to make two
bales of hay grow where but
one grew before. The profess
sionS are all over-crowded, the
Offices are full of men who are
going hungry in genteel refine
ment; the Streets are being worn
smooth by the weary feet of
countless thousands of gifted
and highly educated individuals
who are filed with an unspeak-
able yearning to accept lucrative
situations, but who never think
of hunting jobs. Every situation
that involves an arm chair is be-
seiged by clamoring applicants.
When a city business man adj
vertiSeS for cashier or book
keeper, he has to have a platoon
of police to protect him from the
answering throng. There are
too many lilly fingers in the
country, and not enough hands
with blisters on them Narcis-
sus admiring himself in pool is
a sublime spectacle, but Tubal
Cain at the forge is the one who
delivers the goods. The good,
old fashioned hired man is a bet
ter emblem for country of ag-
riculture than a besotted eagle
that feeds on carrion. It is a
pity that there is no capable
American poet to sing the hired
man; the man of Drawn who lives
and moves and has his being in
the open air; working in the early
morning and in the dewy eve;
contributing by every motion of
his stalwart arms to the welfare
of the nation; toiling so diligent-
| ly that night and rest come as a
| benediction; carrying to the
house at meal time the appetite
of primeval man-an appetite
that is worth more than tie
boarded riches of Rockefeller.
The American hired man is no
brother to the OK. Nobody is
more independent than he, for
his Drawn and industry are al
ways in demand. A hundred
farmers are reckoning to him;
that muscle of his is a commod-
ity that is better than rubies and
precious stones. The diligence
of his is of more practical use
than a knowledge of the art gal
leries of Europe, or the ability
to discuss the philosophy of the
ancient Greeks. And while the
hired man goes his glad though
laborious way, besought of all
men who need help, the cities
are full of sad-eyed misfits who
have no place to lay their heads.
and who regard the civilization
of this day as a Juggernaut
whose wheels are stained with
the blood of its victims Where
as the civilization is all right, but
it is adopted to the needs OF
workers, rather than of dream
ers--William Allen White

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

To the Voters and Taxpayers of the
Sixth Ward of Aberdeen:
AS a candidate for councilman
from the above ward, and having
been accused Of having neither pol
icy nor principles, hereby make the
following declaration:
| believe in and commend the wise
and fearless administration of Pres
ident Theodore Roosevelt.
favor strict honesty, economy and
efficiency in the city's affairs, and if
elected, will do everything in my
power to enable the taxpayers to re-
ceive a dollars value for each and
every dollar expended.
| favor a reduction of water rates
whenever the same can be reduced
without injury to the finances of the
city.
am strongly opposed to any mem
Der of the city council furnishing sup
plies or material or having any in
terest whatsoever in contracts where
the city government is in any way in
terested.
| believe the liquor business when
properly conducted, should be en-
titled to and given the protection of
the law.
l favor the Kidding of this city of
that class of so-called men who
have no visible means of support, and
who exist off the earnings of prosti-
tutes.
am in favor of first filling the
business streets of the city and later
on the establishing of an improve
contract for the filling of the same,
after proper competition has been
had, and provided the bid is a reason
able one.
In this connection it may be proper
to state that | am not owned nor
controlled by any one connected with
dredging company, and II elected |
am in such shape financially that |
will not be compelled to steal in order
TO live. In other words, | have no
special interests to serve or protect,
aside from those of the general pub
lie.
This platform briefly given, l stand
to my election or defeat.
