Some Reasons for Home Buying.

In recent issue of the Des
Moines Register and Leader the
commercial page published the
creed of one loyal-spirited booster
who gives good reasons why one
should support the home merchant.
He says:
II buy at home
Because my interests are here.
Because the community that is
good enough for me to live in is
good enough for me to buy in.
Because ! believe in transacting
business with my friends.
Because want to see the goods.
Because | want to get what buy
when | pay for it.
Because my home dealer carries
me when | run short.
Because every dollar | spend at
home stays at home and works for
the welfare of my city.
Because the man ! buy from
stands back of the goods.
Because | sell what | produce
here at home.
Because the man / buy from
pays his part of the town, county
and state taxes.
Because the man | buy from
gives value received always.
Because the man / buy from
helps support my school, my
church, my lodge, my home.
Because when i'll luck, misfor-
tune, or bereavement comes, the
man | buy from is here with the
kindly greeting, his words of cheer
and his pocketbook, if needs be.
Here | live and here | buy"

who has played the part % adviser for
the last twenty years with such eismal
results. The governor while paying high
tribute to the personal qualities Of Mr..
Bryan, does not In the least allow these
to obscure the real politician Bryan. when
he sh )ws up the records of both parties.
Every republican ought 10 read the gov
ernors speech and be guided thereby, for
Il is as truthful as Il is interesting.
Bridgeport News Blade: Secretary OF
state Wait will suggest an amendment to
the present crippled primary law, which
will read as follows: mo person not a
candidate at primary election shall re-
eeive a nomination by having q name
written on a ballot unless such person
shall receive twenty-five or more votes
and file within Jen days after said vote Is
oanvassed, with the proper officers an
acceptance and receipt from the treas
urer Of the county in which such person
resides, showing payment of the fee as
required from regular candidates filing
for nomination at primary elections" The
best way to amend that foolish measure
Is TO repeal II.

The people OF Maine have found
out two months after their election
that the state retains constitutional
prohibition, at least nominally. The
result is satisfactory to neither the
prohibltionlsts nor the ants. The
former realize that a majority OF 75S
votes on an Issue OF this character
is far too scant to offer much en-
couragement for either the enforce
ment Of the law or the future, espe-
cially with the majority in cities over
whelmingly adverse. The antls know
Il means nothing but a dead letter
law 80 long as public sentiment in
the cities is so violently opposed
TO II.
Maine. therefore, has not solved
It's problem in these belated election
returns Indeed, Governor Plaisteil,
leader of the opposition. gives notice
Of his intention to convene the legis-
lature in extra session for the spe-
cific purpose of submitting to the
people a proposed amendment to the
constitution by which laws regulst-
ing the liquor traffic and possible Of
enforcement may be enacted. The
legislature is to meet in February. It
will be but a short time, then, until
Maine will have this same question
to vote on again in another form
Since not even the friends Of pro-
hibition In that state have shown
that this organic law has been en-
forced In the cities. II would seem
that they would prefer another law
that could be enforced there as well
as in the smaller towns and rural
districts, where, II Is admitted, pro-
hlbition has been effective. Governor
Plaisted, who has spent his lifetime
In Maine and ought TO know the sit
uation, declares:
There Is no question about the desire
OF the cities TO improve conditions by
adopting some other method OF dealing
with the liquor traffic. An amendment 90
the constitution should be submitted 10
the people, 90 be voted upon next Sep
tomber, under the terms OF which cities
should have the right 20 invoke and en-
act local legislation within their own
limits.
IL Is the old principle that without
public sentiment committed to en-
forcement 1t is impossible to make
any law effective or prevent IL from
becoming a dead letter and when a
law becomes a dead letter II would
be much better off the statute books.

a road grader has dug up the bones Of a
mastodon and the Fairbury News man.
whose speciality Is prehistorics, harks
back to the beginning Of things, away
back beyond the farthest reach of the
Oldest Inhabitants recollection, and
draws an accurate picture Of how things
looked in Nebraska when the mastodon
was roaming at large. Probably. il the
real facts were known, the road grader
collided with the carcass Of COW, and
imagination did the rest. The tendency
for grading and well boring machines to
exhune the remains Of the late mastodon
family Is due for rebuke.
Fremont Tribune: Let II not be forgot
ten that the proper classification of re-
publicans, II there Is to be any distinction
drawn, Is not progressives and standpat-
tiers, but progressives and insurgents. All
republicans are progressives. The re-
publican party was organized as pro-
gressive party and It has brilliantly
served the country by wisely meeting
every need in its rapid progress
