seems that again the Democratic
party of this State is to pass
through a period of internal
strife in its efforts to name a
ticket for State offices. Just at
the time when peace reigns,
when the chickering's of the past
apparently had been laid aside,
when party confidence had re-
established itself, rumors and
signs of a heated campaign are
in evidence. A few years ago
our majority was small if it bare
ly dropped below fifty thousand.
At that time peace and good will
prevailed. Rivals for position
conducted their campaigns with
out disrupting their party, and
when the ticket was named, it
was heartily and solidly support
ed. From that era the party
shifted. and its living since has
been costly and hard. The
troubles of the past, largely due
to inordinate ambition of individ-
uals, ought to remind every true
Democrat who seeks position of
honorssthat the claims of his oppo-
nent are as lnuch entitled to con-
sideration as his own. He should
not put self interest too high, nor
underate the cost of creating
trouble in.hisfsown party. The
Democratic party of this State
has never lost by the power of
the common political opponent,
but by revolt from its own ranks.
1t has not suffered so much from
wars without as feuds within.
In thessface of recent defeat and
dwindling strength, why any
applicant who is true to party
and mindful of the public good,
S h o u d atvoluntarily pursue a
course calculated to create an
mostly, ssbring division and prob
ably defeat, in the final election,
is hard for us to understand.
Democrats ought to settle their
accounts on a higher plane, and
we trust that individual ambi-
ton will subordinate itself for
party good and the public well
fare. There's nothing to justify
a bitter campaign in our party at
this time. Good men for every
office have announced and it
ought to be a campaign of COM
petent Democrat against compe-
tent Democrat.

this county one time, by partici-
pating and entering into some
kind of a scheme called a pri-
mary election, and henceforth
|, according to words used by my
friend Sam Lewis once upon a
time, Draws Noting" from the
political game of chance, which
should satisfy my longings for
all time to come in that respect.
Men ofshonor..and integrity can
not conscientiously engage il
politics theseIdays from the fact
that the sole purpose in view is
to gain office regardless of the
toll it costs. You may spread on
all thes.Lorimer whitewash in the
whole country, and the corrup-
ton, fraud and hellish blackness
which underlies the whole thing
will eat it's way to the surface
like a cancerous growth. The
fact, is it would be we'll in my
opinion if women were given a
place in the political arena of to-
day, their presence would proba-
bly, lend a purifying influence to
the corrupt and greedy office
seekers among men. We need
more men~of honor iand integri-
ty in our legislatures, men who
will work for the best interests
of the people, and who have
some conception of right from
wrong, but instead Of sending
goods men to represent us at
Frankfort, We usually send a
lot. of "numbskulls" who sit in
tn e Legislative Halls Ii k e
bumps on a log" and do moth
ing except answer to the roll
call and draw the per diem.
Speaking of this brings to my
mind an instance related to me
not long ago, by a gentleman re-
siding in an adjoining county,
and something of the sort is said
to have actually occurred: HE
said that certain district, or
two counties not hundred miles
from here elected a representa-
tive few years ago, and the
honorable gentleman went t o
Frankfort at the appointed time,
There he met old John Barley
corn who took him in tow and
showed him a good time. He
was so busy with his old friend,
John that h e forgot to go
around on the morning the House
convened and it was several
days before the thought struck
him that he ought to drop in and
see how matters were progress
ing. So the next morning he
made his way to the Legislative
Hall and took a seat in the rear
of the building, his courage was
still backed up by Johnny B.
During his stay some measure
was put before the House that
he ought to have a voice in, so
he thought, and jumped to his
feet and cried: Mr.. Speaker!
Mr.. Speaker! Who are you, and
where are you from?' Inquired
the Speaker. L am Mr.. so and
so, and | represent such and
such counties I was elected,
and l am a member of this legis-
lature, too, replied the honorable
gentleman Have you ever been

Mrs. Charles Cant.

Ann Jackson was born in Yorkshire.

CONSCIENCE.

Canon Gore said wise thing
when he declared that "a mans
duty Is not to follow his con
science. but to educate It." A
little soul holding on like bull
dog to the tail end of great
principle and whip cracking
about among his fellows as he
follows that principle around In
its huge curves is deadly men
ace. That supreme life and
death loyalty to the right which
has bene so much praised is
not always good. Sincerity,
faith and devotion are essential
ly relative terms. And wheth-
err they are of service to the soul
itself or to the race depends en-
urely on that which Is the OBJ
ieCt of the said devotion. faith
and sincerity. There's only one
thing In this universe OF men
and near men that Is always
good, full OF health. soundneSS
and peace, whose apples are OF
the sustenance of the soul and
whose leaves are for the heal
ing of the nations, and that
thing is-the truth. God help
the poor fools who live in n little
world of their own. full OF ar
dent credulities. firm loyalties,
strong enthusiasm. but without
facts. - DR.. Frank Crane.
