A few minutes later another wom-

The clerk produced the boa and she

NO clerk to please to tell the hotel
detectives or the police or the newspa-

LIVING A LIFE

Life" declares a writer Of today,
sis but one long farewell"
True! Think of it moment. Always
farewells. Farewell to days and
months and years; farewell to youth
and prime and old age; farewell finally
to life itself.
Since this is so, how live; so that the
farewells may be free from regrets and
shames and the ashes of remorse.
That, too, is simple. Live straight,
think straight, act straight. Do good
because it is the good; avoid evil be-
cause it is the evil. e9Tf u rps scssI
So living, one may always say:s'Fare-
well, happy hour! The thought of you
fills me with quiet joy; the dream of
you is grace and pension. May all
my hours to come be likewise; may |
have the strength and the honor and
the kindness to make them so. Says

EDWARD ]. HAMMER
the LOGICAL CANDIDATE FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY

The Hillsboro Sentry, where Mr..
Hammer was born and reared, has this
to say of his candidacy for district at
torney:
When one engages professional ser
vice, or even a farm hand or clerk, he
engages what he believes to be the
best. Why do less in hiring a public
servant? The business of the public is
your business as in your taxes you pay
the freight. The foregoing applies
generally to the selection of all public
officials and the following especially to
the selection of your district attorney.
The district attorneyship should be
out of politics, and man selected who
is upright, reliable, and above all, hon
orable. In many respects it is the most
important position in the county. 1t is
''tax-saving" or tax making, depend
ing entirely upon the manner in which
the duties Of the Office are executed.

The district attorney should be as i'm
partial as the judge upon the bench.
His duties are not alone to prosecute
the guilty but also to protect the limo
cent. The people are entitled to the
protection the law affords them. Our
fellow citizen, Edw. j. Hammer, is
candidate for this important position,
and by no means wholly upon his own
solicitation. The editor of this paper
has known Mr. Hammer all bis life and
knows MIN to be an honest and upright
man with no questionable habits what
ever. He is making q good clean cam
paign and, taking everything into con
slderatiou, we believe he is entitled to
the nomination. The east end Of the
county has no other candidate to pre-
sent for favors in the primary, and is
clearly entitled to this recognition, be-
sides presenting q worthy and we'll
qualified man for the place.
