POLITICS TAKES COIN
sTEPHENsoN's MANAGER TELLS
PRo5ERS OF EXPENSES.
Witness Testifles That All Money
Used by Senator In Campaign
Was Legally Expended.

Milwaukee, Oct. 4.-That the $107,-
793 which was expended by United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson in his
campaign for the senatorial nominal
ton was used legitimately for brass
bands, Autographs, buttons and other
campaign advertising, and was not en-
ployed corruptly, was the gist of tes-
timony given before the investigating
committee.
The committee, which is investigat-
ing charges that Mr.. Stephenson OBJ
tanned his seat by bribery and other
corrupt use Of money, examined L. A.
Edmonds, manager of the Stephenson
campaign in 1908. In the fear that
the opposition would be strong, the
witness said, thorough organization
in that state was determined on This
resulted in Mr.. Stephenson's nomina-
ton at the primaries and his election
by the legislature. The thoroughness
OF the campaign explained the large
amount of money spent, but all OF 1t
was for the nomination and none for
the election, he said.
Edmonds said none of the campaign
workers rendered a detailed report OF
expenditures.
DO you mean to say that, knowing
the law, you required no detailed re-
port of the moneys spent in Mr.. Ste
phenson's behalf?" asked Senator
Pomerene.
I'VE never required a report from
them" was the reply.
"A man has to be ready to spend
couple of hundred thousand dollars
to get the senatorial nomination in
this state; isn't that so?" asked Sen
ator Sutherland.
We'll, if he hasn't got the money
he'd better keep out of politics." re-
sponded the witness.
1t was pointed out that in some
counties Senator Stephenson spent an
amount equal to S. a vote
I'VE had hard fight, for the half
breeds were determined to beat u.s."
said Edmonds.
What do you mean by half
Dreeds?"
"Half-breeds in Wisconsin are what
We call the followers OF Senator La

A fellow, or cause any gladness to

Its a pretty good plan to forget 1t.
A Mistaken Idea.

II man walks two squares with a
Girl twice and calls on her once, there
are some people who start the report
that the man is in love with the girl
and that she is "crazy" about him.
Such remarks often spoil an ENJOYABLE
friendship between young people and
they get so Disguised and annoyed by
the round of talk that they feel COM
PEELED to drop their relationship with
each other. A girl should not get the idea
that every man who seeks her society
is in love with her and the man who
thinks that a girl is in love with him
because she is nice to him, is fool.
The sooner boys and girls-and the old.
er men and women and the meddlers-
cease talking about leases" and 'love
affairs, and encourage friendships, the
happier will be the social life of young
people.

Sleep, eat and smoke her pipe was her

would slip out to the milk pen and milk
the cows. There they use a cream

person would give it to me, said Mrs.
Thompson,i it is too hard to keep clean. 4"
They are in such hurry to get the
cream that they cannot wait for it to

ator, then spend SO much time cleaning
it, They make good butter, but the
milk is so poor and blue it is not fit to

get the cream of life that we cannot
wait for things to take their natural
course. 1--WE get the cream and ruin

THINGS TO FORGET.

If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd,
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
And you know of a tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed,
It's pretty good plan to forget it,
If you know of skeleton hidden away
In closet, and guarded, and kept
from the day
In the dark; and whose showing, whose
sudden display
Would cause grief and sorrow and
life long disnlay,
Its pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of thing that will darken
the joy
OF man or woman, girl or boy,
That will wipe Out a smile or the least
way annoy

THE COUNTRY MINISTER
Some -. Suggestions towards
Betterment Of Existing Con-
ditions In Rural Parishes

In discussion of The Plight of the
Country Minister" Rev. a. a. Mac
Kenzie offers the following suggestions
toward a solution of the problem:
THAT the county minister should
have a house and fixed salary of not
less than 81, 900 a year.
2.-Our rich men, instead of giving
the whole of their surplus wealth for
the endowment of universities and the
establishing of libraries, all of which
60 to cities and towns, should divert
portion of it to the endowment of the
country churches of their own demon
nations. James Baird, the Scottish
mine owner gave half million pounds
sterling to endow the smaller parishes
of the church of Scotland, and, largely
as result of this munificence, almost
every Scottish village or country dis
trict, no matter how weak financially,
has well established religious services.
American milionaries may well come
to the rescue of the American country
church, or if Christianity shall cease
to be power in the lives of our farm
ers, there is serious outlook for the
nation. Were church that pays $500
annually be endowed so that another
$500 would be available, a capable
pastor could be secured; one who could
afford tu stay.
5-Should our rich man fail to do so
great work, let everv denomination
raise sustentation fund for its country
churches, such as was raised by DR..
Chambers when the Free church of Scot
land left the Established church.
The objection to the last two sug-
gestions is that where there are two or
three rival churches in a small COM
munitY, it would be waste of money
to provide an endowment for them all,
or to support them all from sustentat-
ion funds.
4.-The different boards IN charge of
the country churches should come to-
gether and make a combined effort to
put an end to the divisions which are
the prime cause of the miserable con-
dition of so many of the country com
munities.
5-The country churches should be
managed by central board repre-
sentative of the various denominations.
The filling of vacancies should not be
left to local officials. The voluntary
principal" dear to so many in other
lands, has proved failure SO far as
our rural work is concerned. A pastor
should be sent to the country church
for a certain number of years, as is
done by the Roman Catholics and
Methodists, who have no vacant church
es in the country.

The Seeds OF A Drug Store.

Around the drug stores of most towns
here is usually a place-either outside
or inside-that might be called garden
spot for men gossipers, and the tales
that will not take root and grow there,
will never come up! Cloverport's drug
stores in this respect are unlike those
of other towns, and in them the seed OF
business and social gossip or scandal
have never been permitted to be sown
bv idle takers. The druggists them
selves have been cautious in their quiet,
firm way to keep the right atmosphere
within their walls. Nearly forty years
Mr.. Fisher has been in the drug bust
ness in Cloverport, and women and
children feel as free to "wait while
in his store as they do in their own
home. In many towns to even pass
"the corner drug store" is unpleasant,
especially for women. They naturally
imagine that those sitting on the bench
might drop a personal remark about
them. ~ heard it at the drug store is
a common expression of men in some
communities.
The barber shop, sometimes, is the
happy meeting place for idle takers,
but the day is here when the barber
shops, the drug stores and the stations
are being lifted to higher planes. The
proprietors are placing good reading
matter in their establishments for those
who have TO wait and are doing every
thing in their power to keep apace with
