PULL TOGETHER.
The Merchants Who Will Do II
Can Bring Trade to Their
Home Towns.

It is this pull together spirit
that is building up the small towns all
over the country {, and anything that
builds up a town builds up every
merchant in that town
1t is the pull together spirit that
IS bringing more trade to these small
towns, that is bringing people from
ionger distances, and that is virtually
killing mail order competition. And
when these things are accomplished,
while no one merchant can expect to
derive all the benefit, yet every live
and aggressive dealer in the town is
bouDd to get his share.
Yes, let this grand, good, brotherly
pull together work 60 on among
merchants. And instead Of the mcr-
chants Of a town going on the ''war-
oath" with each other. and bending
their energy towards downing the
other fellow, with the result that lcgiti-
mate living prohts to all concerned
nic sacrificed, give up trying to kill
your neIghborsInd all work HARMON

Kind Words.

Mrs. ]. +. B~risCoc, Of St. Louis,
in ordering the REPUBLICAN,, for
which she enclosed a 81 bill, writes
us the following letter:
'Lct me thank you again for the
help you have always given to the
Temperance movement. We owe
much to Won. and | hope the good
people OF Morgan County will show

The REiuBLirAH mas certainly
fought faithfully for the temperance
cause, for religion, morality, and a
better life Tor all. and while kind
words reach us sometimes, the sur
Siaa/iai aid has, for some cause, been
withheld, but we will keep up the
good fight as long as we may, fally
believing that the right will triumph
finally.

to vote.
assume that Mr.. Zehr is orthodox,
in the popular sense of that word,
and subscribes without mental re-
servation to the doctrines Of the
church of which he is a member, in
Guiding that which inculcates the
curious teachings that to cast a ballot
in an election is a sin. While the
opinion of this office is in no wise con-
elusive upon a point of this nature, !
do not hesitate to state that any per-
son who maintains this extraordinary
belief cannot truthfully be said to
be attached to the principles of the
United States. The whole theory Of
our government is based upon the
assumption that the original source of
all just government is in the people,
from which the sequence is easy and
inevitable that it is the duty OF the
people to take part in the consti-
tutional methods of exercising this
authority. 1t may be a reasonable
exercise of an American "sovereign's'
discretion to abstain from voting on
occasions, but to hold the position
that to vote under any conditions is
sinful. is in my judgement to take a
stand that is inconsistent with the plain
duty of American citizenship. Such
a man cannot be said to be attached
to an organic law which makes ex-
press drovision for that mode Of gov
eminent.
However, this is a point for the
court to be satisfied upon, and these
remarks are made merely in response
to the request in your letter OF the
and inst.
The division win be pleased to be
advised by you Of the disposition
made OF this case.
Respectfully,
RICHARD e. CAMPBELL,
Chief. Div. OF Naturalization.
Decatur Democrat.
The above proves our contention
that a man who can vote and refuses
to do so, is not entitled to the, pro-
lection of American citizenship.
Voting is an imperative duty, and he
who shirks this duty is an undesirable
citizen.
