protests against political machines be
ing made over the country and efforts
on behalf OF reform are making head
way will sooner or later resuh In
radical change Of our present political
system
The present movements originate
Ia the cities of the country. People
In the rural sections follow their po-
ihioal leaders without serious question
aud do not come much into contact
with the bad results they do so much
% secure. The one or two men In
each town who are relied upon, at
headquarters. to do the party work
usually get office. II seems to be
because they are fond Of political at
mospheres. As office has for such a
long line been the reward OF political
work. II is looked upon as quite the
regular and legitimate thing.
THE city Is almost the only place
where the authority Of the political
leader Is questioned. lie looks to the
small towns for loyalty to his policies
and DEGREES. and relies upon them to
carry his end of the state, In state
campaigns, just as the ward men are
relied upon TO carry their wards In
certain city campaigns.
The managing men in small towns
are always In Correspondence with hea-
quarters an their work is one so quick
ly and cleverly that the country voter
is never made TO feel the yoke or led
TO suspect that he is the tool of a cor
rlpt cabal Of office holders and OF.
flee seekers.
Good men are often reproached
for their neglect Of political duty
especially as Il relates TO primary
elections The reply to this reproach
Is thai no good man can undertake to
have anything to do with the prim-
aries unless he belongs to'the ma
chine" without the loss Of selfrespect
An attempts to have anything to do
with them ian the way OF Influencing
their policy is useless. II any clear
headed voter doubts this let him try.
The machine man does as he is todd
at headquarters and that is all there
is 10 IT,
THE machine politician has a con
tempt for what he denominates reform
or sentimental politics. II man
permits either moral on sentimental
considerations to enter into his mo
lives of political actions he has done
an that is necessary to arouse the
suspicion OF the average party poll
dician. Power and office are whll
dhe machine men are always after ana
sentiment and principle are generally
In their way"
The above editorial is adaptable TO
che situation In our county, and con
dains meat for thought. The purpose
of Democracy Is lost in the process
used Each primary finds us deeper
in the mire and more az the mercy
Of political vampires. who eschew no
method that will help them gain
their selfish ends. These tactics are
daily adding strength to the Repub-
lican ranks.
Harmony will never-and should
never-preyai! so long as We have po'
litical demagogues who will buy. beg
borrow or steal an election-lock, STOCK
and barrel.

"Uncle Joe" Makes
Speech Opposing
The Pension Plan

s"Uncle joe Cannon. former Speaker
of the House, came out vigorously
against pensions for Government em-
ployes In his speech on the floor this
afternoon. Uncle Joe's" program Is, to
avoid civil pensions and to give them
better pay instead Of entering upon
VIII Athe terms such a dangerous pol
ICY"
The former Speaker delivered an i'm
passioned speech in favor of the Sher-
wood dollar-a-day pension bill for the
veterans of the civil war. Then he
touched the subject of the Government
employees.
II see in the press" said Uncle Joe" /"
Postmaster General have recommended
in their reports civil pensions for Gov
ernment employees. 1 think 1t will be a
Of nE pans ms eS nse the had Policy bs
ter not enter upon such a policy, and 1t
of these employees rather than to recog-
nize the propriety of civil pensions. II
1t will STOP
Urging the passage of the Sherwood
bill, which will carry about $4o,0OO.0O
increase in the per sion rolls of civil war
veterans, Uncle Joe said:
IF you take the 100000 people in
this country. their earning capacity and
their prosperity, we are far more able
to pay pensions now than were our
fathers to pay Revolutionary pensions
This bill sounds big because we talk OF
! millions, but this nation Is rich enough
to take care of its old soldiers"
Uncle Joe told the House that when
the Sherwood bill becomes q law 900 ad-
ditioEal clerks will be required in the
Persion Bureau Mr. Cannot said he
had talked with officials Of the bureau
and they estimated thai. this additional
number would be required to handle
the claims expeditiously.

Fresh Air and
Food Alone Cannot
Cure. Consumption
Something Must Be Done to Check
the Germ Growth II Permanent
Results Are Expected

Fresh air and exercise, together
with plenty of nourishing food, are q
necessity to the cure of lung dis
eases, but they are not sufficient to
effect permanent results unless
something is done to. prevent the
Tubercle Baciln from continuing
their destructive work.
Nothing is more effective in doing
this than the famous Swiss remedy
Sirolin, a preparation which has
lately been imported into this Coun-
try In large quantities after long
list of successful cases have been
placed to its credit abroad.
Sirolin agrees with the weakest
stomach and greatly aids digestion.
1t is endorsed and recommended by
the leading Specialists in Europe
and contains no harmful or habit
forming drugs.
Additional information about Sir
olin can be secured in this country
from the Sirolin Company, 228 West
Broadway, New York City.
Ali leading druggists are recon-
mending and distributing Sirolin with
considerable success.

UNCLE SAM TO PAINT
THIS BIG BUILDING

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-The two
miles OF corridors and domes OF the state,
war and navy building are receiving
their first new dress since they were
originally painted in 1875, when the edi-
fee was constructed at cost of $5,000.
COO The state, war and navy is one of
the largest government office buildings
in the world. To cover the domes and
the walls. ceilings and countless pillars
of the corridors, it is estimated it would
take one painter more than lifetime. A
gang of workmen is expected to finish
the task in two months. Light bun is
the color which is to cover the blue gray
begrimed walls. After many experiments
the painters believe the new hue will af-
ford more light in the extremely dark
corridors.
