Democrats Trus to Ideals
Globe Silver BeIt)

The warmth of the welcome and
 the size of the audience that gree ted Tom Weedin and Marx Smith and opened the eyes of those who had fondly hoped that democracy-real democracy was dead in Gila county Democrats, because they are demo crats and willing to hear every side of every public question, will listen to any man or set of men who set themselves up as political leaders, but because they listen it should not be taken tor granted that they have been won over. They remain true and can be der ended upon to flock to the standard of real democracy when it is borne aloft by men of abil- ity and high ideals such as charac- terize the leaders of the party who are now honoring Globe by their presence.
 Weedin and Smith and Rouse never in their zeal to catch votes have abandoned their party faith nor have they wandered after false gods be- cause it seemed to be the popular thing to do-they are of the sterling, rock ribbed type of men who would rather be right than popular. Their democracy has never been question: ed; while always open to convic tion and as ready to receive as to advance a new idea if it is calculated to bene- fit the majority of mankind they never have sat at the feet of the La Follettes and the Bourues and the Bergere with a pretense of imbibing political wisdom actuated by the hope that the pretense would be ac- cepted by republicans and socialists as the real thing and cause an acces- sion of votes.
 With Weedin as chief executive, Smith in the senate and Rouse on the ! bench, the people of Arizona rich and | poor, la borer and capitalist, will feel | sure that their interests will be | guarded and that every man no mat l ter what his station will be given a square deal.

Greetings.

This is a week of festivities and en-
joyment, and we send greetings to all
our patrons, trusting that the holidays
will be highly enjoyable, and that no
accident will occur to mar the pleasure
of a single person; that happiness may
abound in every home; that when the
New Year comes that each individual
will start with a determination of be-
ing better men and better women in
1912 than they were in 1911. There are
no better people than those who read
the News, but lowering clouds some
times come, and if there are dark
spots in our conduct, made in the Old
Year, let us go to throne of grace
and ask, reverently, that they may be
blotted out. Ask and you shall receive,
is teaching that is as old as the Book,
and he who contritely petitions the
Giver of all that is good will be re-
warded.
We earnestly hope that many bright
prospects are in store for our readers
during the year that makes its advent
next Monday.

Gov. knott and the Circus.

When Grover Cleveland was elected
President for, the second time. a gentle
man from Lebanon was candidate for
the position of Surveyor of the Port OF
the city of Louisville. Governor Knott
was this mans friend and chief sup
porter for the position to which he as
pired. When the time came for max
ing the appointment, so interested was
the Governor in his friends race that
he went to Washington to see the
President and personally to make an
appeal for his friend to be appointed.
Accordingly arrangements were made
and MIR. Knott went to the White
House. On being admitted to the
presence of Mr.. Cleveland, the Cover
nor said: Mr.. President, have come a
thousand miles to ask of you favor,
personal to myself and in behalf of a
dear friend. When was little boy a
circus came to town one day. Bare
footed and alone l started out to the
county seat to see the procession.
When got there the house was full of
people, the streets were crowded, and
everyone was smiling and cheerful be-
cause they were going to see the wild
animals. When saw the parade and
the happy, laughing, merry throngs. all
bent on pleasure and fun l began to
cry because I realized that having no
money was the only one in that vast
crowd that was not going to the circus.
While giving vent to my feelings, a
kind gentleman with a smiling face,
passed by, and seeing the tears rolling
down my cheeks, stopped to inquire
what was the matter. told him that
l had walked ten miles to see the pa
rade, had no money, no friends, and
that every other boy in town was going
to see the circus but me. This kind,
noble gentleman took me by the hand,
went with me to the circus, paid my
way in and showed me the wild animals,
bought peanuts and lemonade, and
caused me to pass one of the most
pleasant of my boyhood days. 1t is the
son of this man that ask you to ap-
point as Surveyor of the Port of Louis
vile, and l have come thousand miles
to ask of you this favor.
A pause then ensued for few mo.
ments, which was broken by the Pres
ident remarking, Governor, it is a
nice day out" To which Mr.. Knott
instantly replied, eyes. MIR. President,
but add gloomy one for my friend

New Postage Stamp.

postmasters hsve been notified that
the Department at Washington has
decided to issue a special registration
stamp to be used on all registered let
tiers, so that it can be more easily dis
tinguished ny the mail clerks. The
new stamp is oblong in shape, of light
blue color; with an eagle with exte nded
wings sitting on rock, pictured on it.
Heretofore any kind of a stamp
could be used on a registered let
letter or package, and frequently the
tiers so stamped were overlooked by
the clerks and not taken through the
regular registery channels. To avoid
any such mistakes in future the new
stamp will be put into nse. The price
of the STAN p will be ten cents.

NOT A SURPRISE.
Mss vara hutchison and Mr.
Lawrence Pickett Married by
Ed. Z. 7. Williams.
WILL LIVE WITH BRIDES MOTHER.

Last Saturday afternoon at o'clock
Miss Vara Hutchinson, who is a compos.
itor in the News office, a daughter OF
Mrs. Bette Hutchinson, was married by
Ed. z. T. Williams at the home of the
minister Only relatives and a few
friends witnessed the ceremony. This
marriage was not a surprise to the
friends of the contracting parties.
The bride is very deserving young
lady. She has been employed in this
Office for the past four years, and she
ranks first-class as lady assistant in a
printing Office, having general knowl.
edge of the work in all its departn ents.
We are glad to state that she does not
surrender her position with The News,
and in her new relation the office ex.
tends its best wishes, trusting that her
married life will bring that happiness
that should follow plighted love.
The groom is son of Mr.. and Mrs,
Junius Pickett, and is well-known
about town. He has no particular vo.
cation, but he is willing worker, anC
does what his hands find to do. Being
Industrious, and having married q
young woman who will do her part. we
see no reason to prevent them from
getting along in the world. AS they
are young, if they will economic, after
awhile they will have little home OF
their own, and when age creeps upor
them they can refer to their early mar.
riage with pleasure. that pleasure that
delighted them to grow old in.
For the present the couple will re-
side with the brides mother.
There were a number of nice, useful
presents.

Thursday Evening At Court House

Thursday evening. December p
marked the close of the third year Of
the Columbia Public Schools for the
Christmas holidays. The two plays
given at the Court House on this oc
casion indeed reflected much credit or
the school. Higbee of Harvard, was
without doubt one of the best plays
ever seen in Columbia, Nothing but
the highest praise could be said of the
play given by the primary pupils.
Christmas Secrets" came first. This
PLAY was given by the pupils of the pri.
mary, assisted by other pupils of the
lower grades. Several of those who
took part in this play were not over six
years old. Each pupil performed his
task Exceptionally we'll.
"Higbee of Harvard. came second.
This play was given by the senior class
of the High School. assisted by other
high school pupils. All who took part
performed their tasks perfectly. Abba
Eubank, who represented the wealthy
mine owner of Montana, seemed to be a
favorite with the audience.
To say those who attended enjoyed
themselves hugely, lis putting it in too
mild of terms. The audience was more
than pleased with the evenings enter
tainment.
Since the Graded School was estab-
lished it has been ago. Each year
seems to be an improvement over the
preceding one. 1t is progressive. We
are reliably informed that the enroll.
ment and daily attendance have in
creased each year over sthe preceding
year.
We do not believe the Public Schools
of our town second to the Public Schools
OF any other townin Kentucky. One OF
the leading educators of our State, who
is familiar with the Public Schools OF
Kentucky, in comparing our Graded
School with the other Graded Schools OF
the State, said to one of our leading
citizens, that the faculty and the class
of work being done in the Public
Schools of Columbiayare surpassed on
ly in the city schools.
The teachers with the exception OF
Prof. Wilson, will spend the holidays
at their respective homes. School
opens again January 2.
