Must be A Real Democrat.

| The campaign of 1912 will be a
plain, unmistakable, clear-cut discus
sion and decision between two lines
of national policy, involving radical
differences upon fundamental points
not alone Of national legislation, but
of the attitude and temperament of
the federal executive and federal
judiciary as WELL.
The national conscience, not less
than the national intelligence, demand
a thorough change, reversal as we'll
as revision of the national policy in
many important particulars.
The Democratic candidate for pres
ident next year must be distinctively
Democratic. He must be not merely
non-Republican, but he must be pos
itively anti-Republican. He must
stand for the things that Taft does not
stand for. He must represent, in
dividually and personally, without
chance of question or doubt, all the
principles and policies of progressive
Democracy.
The success of 1912, now seeming
ly assured, can only be consumated
along the lines of progressive De-
mocracy, which is true Democracy,
and with candidate who shall be in
all essential particulars the apostle
and representative of those progress
sive principles. -Denver News.

expense of fitting up room in the
city, renting it by the month and hav-
ing it kept at all times ready for oc-
cupancy concerns not Mr.. Funk nor
any one else, but for the edification
of the public at large we will state
that while in this city on county bust
ness the members of the court devote
their entire time and attention to
county affairs, and their interest does
not end as court adjourns from day
to day, but retiring to the privacy of
their room the affairs of the county
are discussed and matters concerning
the county's welfare, which will work
for the advancement of the county's
interests are brought forward, thus
allowing the expectation of court bus
mess and thereby allowing the nec-
essary business of the county to be
taken care of in much less time and
therefore at minimum expense to
the county. In order to do this it is
necessary that the members of the
court be together during their leisure
hours, condition which would not
always be possible were they in a
boarding house or hotel, hence they
have rented adjoining rooms upon
the square by the month.
The fact that Republican paper in
attempting to find fault with Demo-
cratic court is unable to pick flaws in
the official records of its members,
but is forced to complain of personal
matters, is indeed a compliment to
the members of that body, and we
congratulate the people of Bates coun.
ty upon having. court in whose rec
ords even so acute a student of politi-
cal economy as Mr.. Funk is unable
to find subject for criticism.

A GOOD COURT.

The success Of men in public life
may be measured by the criticism OF
their political enemies. The mistakes
of municipal officials are carefully
pointed out by their political oppo-
nents. while, no mention is made OF
their official acts which might be
creditable or praiseworthy.
Our present county court, three
good men successful in their own
respective business ventures, known
to be thoroughly conscientious, and
having at heart the welfare of the
county, have, as officials, served the
county we'll during their incumbency.
In fact, they have so well cared for
the county's interests that local Re-
publican newspaper, in casting about
for flaws in their official records up
on which to build political capital, has
been unable to find one fact in the
official careers of these gentlemen
which, if brought to the attention OF
the public, would but rebound to
their credit. Hence, rather than give
them the credit due them for their
economical administration of Bates
county's affairs and desiring to criti-
cize rather than praise, this sheet
goes into the private affairs of these
gentlemen, and questions their right
to establish headquarters at the coun-
ty seat of government Cat their own
personal expense.)
Mr.. Funk's criticism is so puerile,
90 weak and groundless, that it is
really undeserving of attention.
The economy Of the county court
is to be praised rather than censured.
That the gentlemen composing the
court are Of economical personal
habits Is q ground for most hearty re-
spect for them.

BALLOTS CAST STRAIGHT
CAME OUT SCRATCHED,

Evidence Adduced at Hearing Proves
Fraud Was Used to Beat Democrats
The Democratic contestants for the
offices held by Republican Supreme
Judges Kennish and Brown and State
Superintendent of Schools Evans,
dealt terrific blows at the ''fair" cleo.
ton methods of Republicans at the
continuation yesterday of the hearing
before Special Commissioner r. E.
Culver.
The first blow was squarely landed
when eight witnesses called in sue
cession by Judge William C. Mar.
shall, counsel for the contestants,
testified that they had voted the
straight Democratic ticket at the
election. Counsel for the Republi-
cans failed to shake their testimony.
Not one of these men testified that
he had scratched his ballot, and yet,
it is claimed, and will be introduced
in evidence, that the ballots purport-
ing to be theirs had the name of
James CAN'T, Democratic nominee
for Judge of the Supreme Court,
scratched, or had an entire Republi-
can ballot substituted for it in the
ballot box.
Colonization Evidence.
Then, bearing out the statement of
The Republic, after the first of last
weeks hearings, evidence was intro.
duced into the record and will be
submitted to the Supreme Court,
showing that from fifty-seven houses
within few blocks on Franklin av-
enue, Twenty-second, Twenty-third
and Morgan streets, more than $40
voters were registered for the cleo
ton of November, 1910, negroes in
nearly every instance, and from some
places as high as from twelve to sew
enteen names being recorded as of
those having the right to vote.
Along with this will be introduced
the fact that these persons did vote,
or ballots were east in their names,
and that after the election the names
were scratched from the registration
books. +.

RECIPROCITY BEATEN;
LAURIER OVERTHROW
Seven Men in Premier's Ministry are
Defeated in Their Districts,
Although Leader Himself
is Returned.

Montreal, Quebec, Sept. 2l.-Can
ada has rejected the United States
offer of reciprocity.
By an overwhelming vote in all
parts of the Dominion the Lauriel
Government, which submitted the
Taft-Fielding agreement to the PEG.
pie in general election held to-day,
was swept out of office.
The Conservatives have come in
with majority of not less than so.
R. L. Borden will be called upon to
form Government and to become
Prime Minister in place of Sir Wilfred
Laurier, the Canadian statesman who
has governed Canada for fifteen
years.
The Liberal party, having just re-
turned to almost forgotten Liberal
low tariff principles by advocating
better trade relations with the United
States, is smashed.
The Conservative party, with a
workable majority, enters on high
tariff platform, avowedly, undesirous
of reciprocity with the United States.
The victory is a triumph for the
Canadian manufacturers, who asked
the country to stand pat on its pres
ent prosperity. 1t means there will
be no lower prices for food in the
United States if they depend on reci-
procity with Canada.

Missed a Train That Was a Day late.
When the Swift City division of the
Illinois Central was built it was known
as the Indiana and Illinois Southern.
1t was a narrow gauge road; the road
bed was bad. the engines and cars
were built on a miniature scale. and.
while there was a schedule, had a train
been on time the fact would have been
regarded as a miracle. The road was
known as the Try Weakly" On one
occasion Josiah Mcconnell desired to
go to Swift City from Sullivan. but
missed the train by minute or two.
The clock at the station showed that
the train had left Sullivan five min
utes ahead of time, and Mcconnell
sued the railroad company for $1,000
damages. On a trial of the case it was
proved beyond a doubt that the tram
Mcconnell missed should have gone the
day before and was really twenty
three hours and fifty-five minutes late.

France was being continually called

chiefly from fever incidental to the
climate.
At that time the practice of bleeding
still prevailed. Bleed them till they

Broussais. the head physician of the

the condition of the soldiers was re-

resolved to see if it would not reduce

At first he employed the quinine
merely as an adjunct to the bleeding.
He soon found that bleeding was kill

bleeding, to the great scandal of the
medical profession.
Exactly in proportion as the bleeding
ceased the deaths in the hospital de-
creased. In two years the deaths fell
off from one in three and half of all
who entered the hospital to one in
twenty and finally to one in forty-six.
