SENATOR CORES PLATFORM

United States Senator T. p. Gore
of Oklahoma, speaking at the JEFF
ferson day dinner in Washington,
said that If the Democratic party
would but delegate him to write the
next party platform he would con-
dense it into but twelve words, as
follows:
LESS tariff; more trade; free
ships; no trusts; no graft; no Taft"
"If compelled still further to re-
TRENCH" said Senator Gore, ~
would abbreviate those planks into
but two words. Less Tariff for
they include and signify all the
rest.n

cratic nomination for County Col
lector appears in The Times this
week. 1t would be matter OF SUI
pererogatiOn for us to essay All in
PRODUCTION of Mr.. Bradley to the
people Of this county, whose private,
political and public life are so well
known. He has represented the
county in both branches of the Leg
islaturc, and his record there has
been such rs to gain him statewide
reputation as champion of the
working man and wage earner's
cause, and to make him popular
with the people generally. His rec
ord for honesty and fidelity is clear
and clean. His friends have per-
suaded him to run for an office,
which, while ii hasn't the excite
ment and publicity that the posi-
tons he has filed have, il more re-
munerative, and Mr.. Bradley is
man whose financial acquisitions
are calculated to make good pay
ing public Office attractive to him.
He Is popular with the miners and
wage-earners of the county because
of the legislation he has championed
in their interests, and If nominated
La ffnlynt 10
friends believe he would be a great
help to the party ii, this county. He
has the Democratic qualifications,
honesty and capability.

hope before the next census is
taken that n woman Of sense will be
put on the question board, So that
the questions asked will not SAVIOR
80 much Of impudence. OF course
III" census takcr is not to blame,
but ! wager that Il hundred times
when he asked woman her age, he
was told /; was non" of his or the
Government business, before he
received an answer. What the Gov
eminent really wants to find out is
the number of persons between GER
and thirty, or forty and fifty, and
not whether you are twenty-scvcn
or forty-two, and the question
could have been arranged so it could
have hoen answered very easily and
without embarrassment. There are
not only women who do not want to
tell their ages, but there are a mum

had been one year younger, | would
have dropped about nine years from
my age, but as it happened to strike

pie who know me know that ! ar!

age, but | thought the Government
might have had little more deli
cacy in putting the question.

Then to another point: Nine

having ono occupation was uu-
decided whether would be put
down rs n fiuancier or a help.matc,
but finally decided on the latter.
There are many Of us who are the
former, if you consider the ability
to make one dollar do the work of
two. No occupation! When the
average day is often not long enough
for me or any other woman to ac-
complish the tasks we have or plan
to dol What the Government
wanted to know was, whether you
engaged in any business that
brought In n salary independent Of
your husband, IL you happened to be
married, but putting down "no oc-
cupation" IL a deliberate insult to
American womanhoOd. So | hope
in the next ten years there will be
a growth in intelligence on the part
Of the Census Board, or that they
let IL woman help arrange the qucs-

ophy for cheerful living.
Keep alvin Along"
Some folks they keep huntin' for
sorrow;
They sighifthey're right or they're
wrong;
But this days as good as tomorrow,
So jest keep alvin along.
| jest keep alvin along,
/ jest keep a-singin' a song,
There's no use to sigh
While the sun IS in the sky;
So jest keep alvin along.
When the Lord made the world
was | In it
To give him directions? He knOwed
| wouldn't know how to begin It,
Bein' nothin' but dust by the road.
So | Jest keep alvin along,
And | can't say the Lords work
is wrong;
] never will sigh
While he's runnin' the sky;
| jest keep alvin along.
I'm thankful for sun and showers;
The Lord makes the winter an
May;
An he'd hide all the graves with
his flowers
If folks didn't weed 'em away!
So / Jest keep alvin along.
Still thankful for sunlight and song;
I know when it's snowin',
Gods roses are CROWN,
So jest keep alvin along
