A QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION.

The oration of Roy Richards
"a New Era in Politics" was the
best socialist speech we have
ever heard. and his explanation
of the "Initiative and Referen-
dunn" was the plainest and most
convincing. We almost (notice
we use the word almost) said to
ourselves: From now on we
are socialists" but after sleeping
over the matter and recovering
somewhat from the influence of
his arguments we find ourselves
pretty much where we were be-
fore, polite ally.-Paonia Booster.
Now is that comment truer In
this paper in another part sp-
pears the essay in question. We
invite our readers to examine it
and tell US whether it is actually
socialistic. We read it very
carefully in the process of max
ing it ready to print and the read
ing was complete being twice
over. And it impressed US as
being very democratic. But we
observed nothing to indicate that
it was in. the smallest way tine
tured with republican ideas. Why
is it that when any theory of
government that makes for better
conditions for all the people is
projected by any writer, it is usu-
ally challenged as being either
socialistic or democratic. We
are not criticising the Booster.
We are interested. We invite all
our republican friends to con-
slider why this is true. Does it
not create a reasonable doubt in
your mind as to whether the far
famed &. o. p. is just what it pur-
ports to be1 The essay is easily
worth the reading as are all OF
them. but this particular one gains
in interest if we add the specula-
tion as TO how far it advocates
the tenets OF any political party.

just trifle sultry over the des-
perate attempt to retain Martha
Shute as the real secretary of the

republican loose from the public
teat, and while Martha is old
enough to be weaned, it will take

WRITING "AGENTS"
MAY SAVE MONEY

1t may save you money and trouble and
worry some time if you will consider for
a moment few suggestions regarding the
form OF commercial papers which almost
any one is called upon TO handle occa-
sionally says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Most OF the business Of the world is
conducted by agents Of some kind, what-
ever their designation-elerk, salesman,
agent. representative, cashier, secretary,
collector in the larger businesses using
modern methods, this agent Of whatever
title is restricted by forms and environ
ment in behalf Of both customer and en-
ployer.
Money paid him is receipted for on his
employers blanks and shows in the re-
ceipt form that the money was paid to the
person in his capacity as agent and for the
benefit of tho firm which he represents.
Yet thousands Of business men have not
taken this precaction.
John j. Blanke writing in regard to
purchase by mail or payment Of debt
Of some kind. simply signs his name at
tho bottom Of the sheet. Perhaps YOU
write out a check or buy a draft or
postal money order, payable TO John J.
Blanke" and forwarded IT,
There is a risk there. Blanke may take
such check. deposit it to his Individual
banking account and assert that il was
personal matter only. Probably a Court
would sustain him in il, too. Make all
such paper payable TO John j. Blanke,
agent" or cashier or collector, whatever
his title in the business. That form ''halls''
both him and his house.
a reputable bank would not receive such
a paper for deposit TO his personal ac-
count unless the implied concern for
which he was agent should indorso it over
to him. or If it did, the bank itself would
have to show cause for the act
In paying cash over in person to such a
person an agent save in the ordinary
cash sales. places where one gets his
goods in his hand at the same time, care
should be taken about receipts.
Ordinarily a person receiving money in
an amount making a receipt worth while
doesn't look upon making out the re-
ceipt as an imposition. That's doubly easy.
But as to the form of the receipt. ask this
business agent to add TO his own signature
that OF his house.

BRIDE DANCES
FOR 81 HOURS
Concentrated Into Single
Effort Her Outlay Of Energy

Horse power is a standard theoretical
unit of the rate of work, equal 10
$4,000 pounds, lifted one foot high III
one minute says the St Louis Post
Dispatch.
What is a woman's power?
Stupendous and almost unbelievable.
Recently a wedding between Polish
girl and a man was celebrated in East
Madison. Ill. At Polish weddings the
bride dances with every guest at the
ceremony who asks her. For this priv
ilege the man tosses a silver dollar
upon a plate. If the blow On the
plate breaks il he has the privilege
of dancing with her again without pay
ing another favor"
The men who attend Polish we'd
dings in and about St Louis work in
the packing houses and steel mills, are
porters in wholesale houses and are
employed in the gas works. They are
powerful men.
The "favors" a Polish bride receives
at her wedding are her silver dover.
She dances as often as she can, be-
cause every dance brings her husband
a silver dollar. A Polish wedding cere-
mony lasts as long as the energy of
tho bride and her male guests lasts.
When every one is too exhausted to
dance any longer the bride and groom
retire from the festal hall with the
dollars the bride has earned by dane
ing. often the wedding ceremony lasts
three days and nights, the bride keeping
on her feet and dancing all that time
If she has the physique. The best
lowered bride is she. who has the
greatest dynamic power.
At the East Madison wedding Mrs.
Rosie zapowa. the bride of Fred Ia
powa, danced almost continuously
throughout the celebration of the event.
which lasted four hours and her dover
was $3.50
Mrs Zapowa was married Wednesday
morning at nine o'clock and the cele-
bration began Immediately. 1t was the
intention to close it at three p. NJ. Fri

dancers had played out and fell on
beds and they were in utter exhaustion.
Rosie Zapowa, having no one to dance
with tied her silver dollars up in a
.tablecloth and went home to rest, con-
tent with having brought her husband
a dover of $3.50.
Mrs. Zapowa was unfortunate in
having as guests men VINO were more
powerful in their arms than in their
legs. They broke two tubfuls of plates
with their silver dollars and were only
able to dance thirty-four hours. II the

When asked just what the healers
did in their treatment. the witness said

the healers persuaded the dying wo-

that she did not understand Just what
they tried 10 do. but that she did know
that the healers taught her to live a
