Heart Cheer

''Oh, trust God and take courage! n
He has seemed to set bounds to your
path, and hcdged you in, be assured
that there is for you a broader, higher
and grander mission than any you
have yet conceived OF for yourself.
Strive to be bit OF blue sky in the
lives OF those around you. Then your
life cannot be f, lure any more than
those blue rays are failure
Never was there a c'oud which has
not passed,
A storm, however long, which did not
cease;
And though our way be darkly over
by sorrows shade, beyond is sure
release:
AS sure as that God lives for aye and
aye,
If only we keep on our steady way"
Some people are always finding
fault with Nature for putting thorns
on roses; | always thank her for pun,
ting roses on thorns."
Il have told you OF the man who
always put on spectacles when about
to eat cherries, in order that the fruit
might look larger and more tempting
In like manner | always make the
most of my enjoyments, and, though
do not cast my eye away from
troubles, pack them up into as small
compass as / can for myself. and
never let them annoy others"
The man who cannot be strong,
cheerful, creative, in his own age,
would find all other ages inhospitable
and barren'
Is not man or woman who puts
Oh magniiying glasses to make the
pleasures that come look as great as
possible, much wiser than he or she
who puts on smoked glasses and at
once declares that even the sunshine
is dark, and there is nothing but dense
gloom everywhere? To be sure, trou-
bic comes to all OF us; but we know
that if God sends us on stony paths
he will provide us with strong shoes
What a happy, blessed thing it would
be for all OF Us il we would implicitly
trust Gods promises! Our lives
would then be as bright and CHEEKY as
sunshiny winter day. And why is it
that we do not trust Him Implicitly?
He has told us that all things work
together for oui good if we but love
Him; and if we would but take Him
at His word, even the shadowy parts
Of life would bee ome radiant with the
reflection of His tender love and car
'It is a blessed privilege to talk
over our troubles to our Heavenly
Father, but it is not at all necessary
for lis to be forever harping upon
them to our friends. We should, like
Robert Soutley. pack them into as

WILSON is BIG ENOUGH.

Woodrow Wilson may not be the
logical candidate for the presidency on
the Democratic ticket in 1912. but in
his public utterances he has certainly
demonstrated the fact that he has n
logical mind, and is man of sufIi
cent dimensions to occupy the pres
dental chair. The following taken
from speech delivered short time
ago is an example:
What We wish to prevent is any
thing which will relieve our people
fem the necessity of taking care of
themselves. Our system of govern
ment has been great because IL has
put on the States the necessity of
working out their own problems and
has put the people everywhere upon
their mettle, has left their economic
and social salvation to their own dis
cernment and their own exertion. The
present problem of our politics is not
how to redivide the powers of gov
eminent but how TO revitalize and
redignify and redeem the powers of
the State

though IL be proven he did distribute
the booze on election day, and abuse
the Democrats IL they remove him
for that cause.
Another thing, we would like TO ask
did anyone ever hear OF these same
Republican papers saying word In
condemnation OF the Republicans for
stealing the Senate in 1899 long
enough to elect one Nathan b. Scott
United States Senator? oh no. that
was smart, the Republicans just un-
seated two Democrats. the Democrats
having one majority on joint ballot.
long enough to elect Scottsz which
they thereby did by one majority, and
that was all right This was as bold
and outrageous theft as was ever
perpetrated and we suspect these
same Republican papers defended
their party for doing it. But the Dem
orats are not that kind and will not
resort to such methods or any other
which are not honorable and fair Our
Republican friends, who are now howl
ing themselves sick, will find il out
when the time comes.

ton. he shall If elected. forfeit his
Office. and upon proof of the fact be
removed therefrom," .,.s-
AS TO Mr.. Whites not being eligi.
BILE on account of being a member of
the county court, we do not know,
since 1t seems purely legal ques-
ton. The other question OF the dis.
tribution OF liquor is question OF
fact and If it can be proven that Mr.
White violated the above provision,
then he has forfeited his right to
the office and should be removed
therefrom under the law. We do not
know anythying about the facts and
do not presume to pass judgment one
way or the other. neither do we know
what right Stevenson, who only got
one vote and was not a candidate. has
10 contest the election of Mr.. White
or whether Mr.. Stevenson would have
any right to the seat upon the
strength of his one vote II Mr.. White
should be unSeated. But the Repui.
hcan papers aforesaid. in their dis.
tress at the thought OF loosing Mr..
White in the Senate, are throwing
hts and declaring that it is all a
scheme of the Democrats TO steal the
Senate, and heaping abb upon the
Democrats generally, and especially,
we take it, directing their abuse and
charges to the Democratic members
Ioi the legislature who are to do the
stealing according TO their theory.
The continual harping of the Repub.
ican press upon the matter indicates
that they have grave reasons to be.
lieve that their man White is guilty
of the charges and that if the Demo.
Gratis do their duty he will be un-
seated. BE that as it may We will
wager dollars to doughnuts that the
Democrats give Mr.. White square
deal from top to bottom and If there
is nothing in the charges he will be
indicated, and we just as strongly
wager than these same Republican
newspapers will not be fair enough
to give the Democrats credit for IL
even If they decide in favor of Mr..
White. And We will also wager that
our radically dry (for political pur.
poses only morning contemporary
