For every noble deed begun,
For every strife of conscience won,
For every kindly service done,
The path of life grows clearer;
Gods hand is ever at Our side;
Gods voice is ever close TO guide;
Trust Him, and so be satisfied;
Each hour makes Heaven nearer!
IT is announced that Col. Roosevelt
will not stump Ohio for the Republican
ticket. He cannot stump for that when
he cannot stomach.
THE Democrats all over the second dis
trict are getting busy in the interest OF
Junior Brown, and he's got fine chance
TO 90 to Congress This year.
AN inventor in Pennsylvania has IN
vented a machine for sorting and count
ing money. This will fill a long-iell
want in the editorial fraternity.
WE are real sorry that Senator Scott
was so shamefully robbed in Europe, but
he now knows how the poor consumer
feels in this country under the Aldrich
tariff bill.
AN Oregon woman announces that,She
is going to run for Congress. Somehow
we think that Congress would be inn
proved if about three-fourthS OF its men,
berS were women.
WE feaf that our friend Charles +
Light is not making good as State Com
missioner of Highways. u one mile o
improved road can be traced TO his work
we'd like TO hear OF it.
THE belief is growing that the Demo-
Gratis will control the next House OF Rep
resentativeS. The Republicans are still
clinging to their diScredited idols, ant
the people are going to smash goot
many OF them.
THEY are running two Republican tick
cts in Fayette county, w. Va, and tht
Democrats have wisely endorsed the in
dependent faction, which seeks TO breat
up the corrupt ring that has disgracec
that county for so long.
SENATOR ALDRICH is building himself
a home in Rhode Island that will cost hin
the snug sum OF 100000. You can figure
Tor yourself how long it takes a Senator
TO save this amount from his salary whet
els the directrepreSentative OF the trusts
THE respectable Republicans OF MaSor
county, this State, are in open revolt
against the Poifenbarger whiSkey gang
and will hold a primary election OF thei
own. Mason county is easily the wors
old whiskey hole in the State, and i
surely needs a cleaning up.
THE Ohio Republicans are all torn uT
over tile outcome OF their convention las'
week, and the ticket put up by the bosses
is so woefully weak that there seems little
chance to elect it. The leaders are call
ing each other very hard names, and /
half of what they are saying about eacf
other is true, most Of them should be II
Jail.
1t is going to be another Democratic
year in Ohio.
HOWEVER much a hero Col. Roosevelt
is in the eyes OF ordinary Republicans
the bosses do not like him, and are ready
to knock him at every opportunity. His
views were openly rejected by the pro-
fessional politicians in Ohio last week
while the standpatterS in New York sa
down hard upon one OF his nephewS who
aspired to a congressional nomination.
Maybe the Colonel will have his vim
dication in November.
THE Unsuitable desire of President Tai
for travel grows more intense, and he i:
satisfied to remain in no place for more
than few days at time. Although he
has not yet fixed the time when he shall
return 10 Washington, he is already plan
ming TO 90 away again, and announces
that he will next visit the Panama Cana
10 inspect the work being done there
There's no place like home" ii may b
remarked, is not the Presidents favont'
song.
DECENT citizens OF Pennsylvania II
both political parties who decline to sub
nit to the outrageous conspiracy by which
the whiSkey interests have named alik'
the Democratic and Republican candidate
on the State tickets, met in Philadelphl
last week and put an independent tickle
in the field. In the platform which the
adopted they charge both OF the old par
ties with treason against the people AM
declare that they have conspired togetll
