Presidential Candidates

The Democratic presidential
candidates at the present time
are mostly favorite sons of diff.
ferent states.
Governor Harmon of Ohio,
Gov. Foss of Massachusetts,
Gov. Marshall of Indiana, Gov.
Wilson Of New Jersey, Gov.
Burke of North Dakota, Champ
Clark, Speaker Of the House of
Representatives and ExGov.
Folk Of Missouri are perhaps
the best known andidates.
Foss has been twice elected
Governor of the Great Republic
can state Of Massachusetts.
Harmon has also been twice
elected by overwhelming ma.
ioriiies. Gov. Burke has been
three times elected governor
in this state where the demo
Gratis were so much in the ma
nority that more than half of
the votes that he received were
republican. Wilson, a college
president was elected governor
in the Republican state of New
Jersey and Immediately sprang
into National prominence by
his courage and ability in
championing the cause of the
common people. Of these can.
didates mentioned there are
none of them that has any
better standing in his own
state than Gov. Burke. but in
population and electoral votes
our state is small aud we are
west of the Mississippi River
which materially lessons his
chances of winning the nomi-
nation.

REAL Joy OF OLD AGE
TRUE FRIENDSHIP EXISTS ONLY
IN THAT PERIOD.
Young People Arc Too changeabIe
and Those Of Middle Age Too
Absorbed In Their strus-
gle for Life.

Old age has Its real joys, which are
not only efforts to make the best of a
bad thing. do not want to appear
paradoxical. but do not think 1t is a
paradox when / assert that the old
man or woman, with good disposi-
ton, is more able than anybody else
to enjoy friendship, love and-youth.
Young people know something Of
friendship. middle aged ones do not,
but old people know 1t thoroughly.
Friendship among the young is
comradeship, companionship hastily
chosen, more warm than deep, very
capricious. very changeable and al
ways with vague feeling that It is
not going to last long, far less for
ever.
Friendship between men Of mature
age does not exist, or is at least a
thing so rare. that 1t need not be
taken into consideration at all. At
that age a person has rivals. who are
sometimes loyal, sometimes sympa-
thetic and kind; of friends he has
none, If by friends you understand
people who take pleasure in your sue
cess as in their own and think of
your welfare as their own.
The struggle for life makes such a
thing impossible, because 1t puts into
conflict with each other the very peo-
Pile. who, because of their common
tastes and efforts, ought to be friends.
It Is the age when you have vague
feeling of distant friends who follow
your doings with interest in whom
you take certain amount of interest,
but whom you really d. not know, and
II perchance you came to know them,
you care less for them, because you
have reason to fear them, as they
have reason to fear you. They are
friends whom you ignore and whom it
is we'll that you should ignore, friends
to whom you say: my friends-I
have no friends"
Mature age knows no friendship. 1t
knows only patrons or clients or GUS
toners The man OF middle age has
patrons and clients. He is protected
and protector. he may be protected
without loss of dignity and act as pro-
tector without impudence. and If so,
he knows at least that cool and pleas
ant shadow of friendship, but never
theless he remains delicately protect
ed and protecting, while. friendship is
something far more than that.
The old man knows friendship. He
knows the real, true friendship, be-
cause he receives disinterested friend
ship and gives friendship that carries
1t no material advantages. Those who
are fond of him are not counting his
protection nor gives 1t to those he
cares for. Old age is like poverty.
Just as rich man never knows II
he is loved for his own sake, and as
the rich young girl never knows If
the man who tells her he loves her.
really loves her or just her money, SO
the old man and the poor man are
the only ones who may be sure that
their friends are really their friends.

Market Hogs Much Lighter.

The average weight of hogs market
ed in recent years is much lighter
than in former years; in the decade
1S7o-1S7s the average weight of hogs
killed during the winter months in
western packing centers was about
276 pounds; In the decade 1SSO-18S9
about PSI pounds; in the decade 1890
1899 about 23s pounds, and in the
past decade 1900-1909 about 21s
pounds. In other words. hogs mar
keted between 30 and 40 years ago
averaged one-fourth heavier than
