To Enforce Law.

The Times is informed that 1t
is the intention of the Clay City
Board of Education to rigidly en-
force the compulsory law. This
means that all children IN the
city must attend school. This is
as it should he, but we hope to
see the children attend without
the application of the law. 1t is
always better to willingly abide
by the law than TO have to be
made do so. Parents, send your
children to school and avoid the
penalty of the law. In after
years your children will thank
you for what education they may
have.

The vote in Maine Monday in
which the Republicans and Pro-
cressives united and carried that
state whereas the Democrats car
ried it two years ago, should be
conclusive that Omitted we stand
divided we fall" The liquor
question, however, is responsible
for the diversion of successes in
political parties in many states.
Maine IN the Presidential race
will go safely Democratic this
fall.

Highest Hopes Increased.

The State election in Vermont
which was held last week, has
greatly increased the very hi oh
hopes of the Democrats for vic.
tory this fall. 1t has demon.
Strated one point in particular,
which Is of vital consequence to
the democracy, and that is, the
source from which Roosevelt
draws his support, and this cleo
ton has demonstrated that every
Democrat in the State of Yer
mont voted the Democratic tick
ct and that Roosevelt polled a
little over one-third of the Re-
publican vote. The normal Dem.
ocratic vote in Vermont is about
5000 and the normal Republi-
can vote is about 10000, and
Roosevelt rolled ID, 800, the reg
ular Republican 26,OOO and the
Democratic candidate for govern
or, 20,330. This shows that not
only did every Democrat stand
true to his party but that many
republican first voters have evil
IDENTIFY left the Republican party
IN disgust and have now allied
themselves with the Democrats.
This election shows that Roo
sevelt and Taft will split the Re
publican vote in two in every
state IN the union, and that the
Democratic party is united. 1t
Is not only possible, but very
probable that Woodrow Wilson
will carry abMt 40 states out of
the total As in the Union.
However, the Democrats must
keep up their campaigning and
not permit the battle To lag
through over confidence. Stand
patism is sinking Taft like "A
nillsione and Teddy is soaked in
Standard oil to the neck.

From Kentucky only two con-

Kentucky milliOnaires do not APP

made public by the Democratic

NO ONE YET KNOWS WHO WILL BE THE DEMOCRATIC SHACK

In different parts of Alaska are men who at the present time would like to he democratic national committee man for Alaska. and so step into the shoes worn by Shackleford for so long.
 Davidson of Fairbanks was the first man 10 enter the field. He did SD i'm mediately after the lamented death of A. J. Daily, and his friends got to work at once to secure the appointment for him.
 At the present time the man who seems most likely to become commit teeman is Cheney of Juneau. At his back, il is said, he has most of the big guns of the Alaskan democrats. but the contest is going on quietly and nothing is being given out.

BELIEVES IN
 OWNING ROD
REMARkAsLe FEAT PERFoRhEo 0 BY MANAGER STEVENSON oF
 PIONEER COMPANY.

Louis Stevenson. manager of tn, Pioneer Mining Comapny. is a firm believer in the efficiency of the alvin ing rod for discovering the loci tior of gold. IL is said by his friends that the discovery of rich ground made last year by the company on Anvil ceek was due to the use of the rod.
 Many who knew Mir Stevens ms belief in the rod were inclined to smiE' but two of them were some time ago treated to proof of the rods power that has left them wondering. These two are G. J. Lomen and s. ]. Bakke Mir. Stevenson got one of them to bandage his eyes while the other hid two twenty dollar gold pieces. They then led him around while he held the willow rod in front of him with both hands. As they finally led him to the spot where the willow hung over the coins the rod rose and he immediate ly told them where the money was.
 The rod rises when it comes over gold and rises with such force, he says, that the bark twists in his hands. He is right now at this mo- ment sinking on his own ground on the Anvil bench to a depth of 125 feet because the rod told him gold is there. He says it never fails. When it says no gold there is no gold and vice versa.
 There is no joke to it. MT. Stevenson believes in it fully.
