FAIR ELEGTI0hS--HOW?


fc the acreage mind and moral insight
of both man and woman:
1t is easier-to believe the thing right
which they want to do;
That subject in controversy should
be decided to their interest;
That the longest end of the single
tree should fall to them;
That the line fence should be little
further over;
the-water courses by natural
gravitation should run their way;
That the washes and drains should go
over the lands of the other fellow;
That the roads should run their way
and be built first;
That TIE best places fer churches and
school houses are the ones selected by
them;
That the best preacher is the one
they specially want;
That the clothes most suitable for
him to wear and the food to best nour-
ish him are sold by them;
That their children are the prettiest
and smartest and entitled to special no.
tice-and through all the manifestations
an twists of life the things that are
nearest right go their way.
Baseball players run inside the bases
when the umpire is off his guard; foot
>-SbRu players combine to put some strong
player of the opposition out of the
game; wire workers pull, politicians
scheme and cheat; capital combines,
laborers unite-all to obtain what they
think is right. By this it is not meant
that all men are bad or even that any
one man is all bad. 1t is argued, how
ever, that it is rare to find anything
true to type or perfect, either in the
mineral. vegetable or animal kingdom.
\ There may be men who really believe
that the great mass of men are trying
fellow gets a square deal. We really
have the champion of this cult in Gen.
eral Ayers. He has reached the ripe
AMI mellow age when thoughts are Sc
ricus, tender and soothing, or he may
even have passed beyond this to that
trOstful, confiding siege where all
seems real and true. Who knows? Some
q strange, soothing stream must have
wandered through his brain when he
said: ''The fact is, the electoral boards
have always treated the republicans
fairly in the matter of judges and
clerks" but, nevertheless, the republi-
cans have always claimed that they
were being robbed and defrauded by
the democrats in the appointment of
judges and clerks. The sentiment of
the General is ideal, his reasoning clear
and is, therefore, much to be desired.
Can it be true that he brings the fulfill
mfnt of the prophecy: 1.-The lion and
tho lamb shall lie down together and a
little child shall lead them"
To the stubborn, pig headed, horny
handed mountsineer, the fairly" used
by the General in the matter of select
ing lodges and clerks, win bear strong !

The Republican fails to see why the
democratic dailies of the state are so in
sistent that Fair Election Society
be org -nized in the Ninth district only.
Why not do likewise in the Fourth? The
recent congressional primary there in
dicates that such a society is badly need
ed Why not in the Sixth also, and.
Tor that matter, every district in the
state? The charges and counter charges
ot corruption and unfairness made by
the democrats against each other du-
ring the senatorial contest last wear
made it look like fair elections society
IS needed in every voting precinct. If we
are to escape the blighting effect of the
unfair and dishonest election laws of
the democratic machine.

At all events he made a capital Santa, doing his work quickly and impartially.
 MT Andrew Downing, secretary of the library board, presided. Mrs. James H. McClintock told two charm ing stories appropriate to the occa- sion. The first was a fairy story showing how the Christmas tree was first decorated; the second how Christmas is observed by the Indians Both were beautifully told and they
