Bryan Urges That None but Pure Dem
ocrsts Be Ssnt to Congress.

In statement issued last week w. ].
Bryan sounded the slogan for 1912. de-
claring that none but pure Democrats
should be sent 10 congress and advising
battle along that line. Among other
things he said:
democratic voters, you cannot begin
too soon to select candidates for congress.
Let those Democrats who believe in pnre
and indebted Democracy get together in
each district and pick out Democrat who
cannot be bought or frightened. The trusts
have stealthily secured control of some OF
the congressman who were elected n,
Democrats and they will have the inan.
ence OF the trusts in securing renomi.
nation.
The trusts can very well afford to nm,
up the campaign funds IL they can con.
troll the congressman after election. Wber
you see that a congressional candidat.
has money TO spend find out where he /,
getting it. Take it for granted that h,
cannot get money from a predatory cor
poration without promise, expressed O,
implied, and that be will pay the cor
poration back out Of the pockets Of th.
people"

Once upon a time man who was too
economical to take paper sent his little
boy to borrow the copy taken by his
neighbor In his haste the boy ran over
81 stand of bees and in ten minutes
looked like a watery summer squash.
His cries reached his father, who ran
to his assistance, and failing to see barb
wire fence, ran into it, breaking it down,
cutting a handful Of flesh from his anat-
omy and running a - pair of pants.
The old COW took advantage OF the gap
in the fence got into the cornfcld, and
killed herself eating green corn. Hearing
the racket, his wife ran, upsetting a four
gallon churn full OF rich cream into a
basket Of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. In her hurry she dropped a 81 set
Of teeth.
The baby, left alone, crawled through
the spilled milk into the parlor and ruined
a $40 carpet. During the excitement the
oldest daughter ran away with the hired
man, the calves got out, and the dog
broke mp eleven setting hens.

highly desired job by Roosevelt is binding

honor and emoluments of the place be-

1t ON the jump. There has been the sug
gestlon by some of the intensely practical
poiitclans OF the state during their visits
that once Dawson lets go of the offer the
appointment might go TO Sam Mont
gomery. Now, it is admitted that as n
young man Sam may not measure up i'm
experience and craftiness with Dawson.

the nerve to write personal letter TO
President Roosevelt and secure good

Ten Business Commandmen Mt.

i. Thou shalt not wait for something 10
turn up, but thou shalt pull of thy coat
and go to work that thou mayest prosper
in thy affairs and make the word "Fail-
ure" spell Success"
2. Thou shalt not be- content 10 90
about thy business looking like bum,
for thou shouldst know that thy personal
appearance is better than letter of rec
ommcndation.
.. Thou shouldst not try to make ex-
cuses, nor shalt thou say to those who
chide thee, 81 didn't think"
4. Thou shalt not wait to be told what
thou shalt do, nor in what manner thou
shalt do it, for thus may thy days be
long in the job which fortune hath given
thee.
.. Thou shalt not fail to maintain thine
own integrity, nor shalt thou be guilty
OF anything that will lessen thy good re-
spect for myself
q. Thou shalt not covet the other fell
lows job, nor his salary, nor the position
that he hath gained by his own hard
labor.
z. Thou shalt not fail to live within
thy income, nor shalt thou contract any
debts when thou canst not see thy way
clear to pay them.
3. Thou shalt not be afraid to blow thine
own horn, for he who fullest to blow his
own horn at the proper occasion findeth
nobody TO blow it for him.
o. Thou shalt not hesitate to say "'No"
when thou meanest mo" nor shalt thou
fail to remember that there are times
when it is unsafe to bind myself by a
hasty judgment.
10. Thou shalt give every man square
deal. This is the last and great command
ment, and there is no other like unto it.
Upon this commandment hang all the
law and the profits of the business world.
