years and being so closely con-
nected with the church and the
deep interest that was always his
for the people here we in
some way feel that Mr.. Gordon
belonged to Dover. And we feel
that it is but due him to write
this short tribute to his memory.
Mr.. Gordon was a man who tried
much harder to live a Christian
life than the average man. We
are told that no mans life is per-
feet and in his life then may
have been some faults, but surely
they would be far out-weighted
by the good deeds he has done
for his fellow-men. He was
always ready to sympathize and
and help those who we're in trou-
bic. The last time We ever saw
him was in the old Christian
church here in Dover standing by
the casket Of a much loved and
honored friend speaking words
of comfort and sympathy to the
bereaved ones. And we realized
with a feeling of sorrow that the
sands of life we're almost run
and that he too would soon
lay down life's burdens and be
at rest.

fore, appears to be too much to take.
1t is possible, Of course, to hold the

would mean the expenditure of large

Estate and who has since leased it back
again. His lease has only a short time
to run and it is doubtful if any large

To be a good citizen does not necessarily mean to go around with an
axe, a torch, a handful of poison and bottle of sulphuric acid, to kill
and destroy all we don't like. We may object to the offcious police
man, or to the smell Of the hostler and his stable, o to the noise of the
boiler factory, or the CRIME Of the coal miner; yet all these things are
a part of the world and its activities and they may even fill a more i'm
portant place than we do ourselves Even the humble bottle of Paris
Green that poisons the festive Colorado beetle and saves the potato
crop CT the nation, Of the smelly fertilizer that replenishes the depict
ed fields, have more important places in the nations growth and pros
perty than the average Individual With these facts to hold down the
rising tide of self esteem. there are few who are big enough to say that
the whole people voted wrong in selecting the republican state ticket in
new fried shirt every day some may wear eowhide boots with milk and
set Of paws that could wrestle with every elemental force of Nature-and
win; but you can bank IN the fact that the people chose every OF
them understandingy. with a definite idea that they could and would
fill the place assigned to them. No one need bolt that ticket. 1t is a
good ticket, and any one who took part in the primaries is morally OBJ
lgated to support twhne both thos who voted and those who didn't
have the majority rule. the basic principle of Americanism, as their safe
guide in voting the ticket straight
In the county, there is still an echo of the county division war; but the cen
trail committee which met Thursday of this week made heroicaIy successful eff
forts to smooth the tronbled ways, and by election time the incident will be al
forgotten. 1t has no legitimate part in the deliberations of the republican
party, and can well be dropped. It is agreed that the legislative ticket, though
has both division and ant-dvison candidates, is especially strong, rnd that it
will stand high in the state councils. Two years ago, the county platform was
one of the best in the state--the Recorder editor is proud to have written most
# it-and it served as a model for a lot of important legislation With as pro
gressive a platform this year, and with a larger and stronger delegation this
it is a duty for every republican to vote the ticket straight. The rest of
the ticket was neutral on county division, and was the easy choice of the whole
people. There is no fractional fight on them, and no reason for a bolt or refusal
o accept the majority choice.
Stay by the whole ticket.
