IT DOEsNgT PAY.


A few days ago my attention was
called to the fact that. boy ABOUT
Is years of age in this county had
been used by some man who should
have known better, to obtain money
on a forged check. It is easy to COM
init an offense but it is mighty hard
to get away from the results of such
actions. 1t is altogether possible and
very probable the boy who Is charged
with having obtained the money did
not know the gravity of the offense,
but there are men in the penitentiary
who did not know Just what would
become of them when they were COM
hitting the crime for which they were
sent up. If the boys want to be
known as honorable and upright citi-
zens when they become men they
should keep free from anything that
looks questionable to them. The crime
this boy assisted to commit is one
for which he can be sent to the reform
school at Topeka, there to be branded
as a criminal. and to wear the uni
form provided by the state for such
prisoners. The safe way is to be care
full to do that about which there is nc
question. Keep safe, choose your COM
pany from the best people you know,
and be guided by the right.-Seneca

HOW TO KILL YOUR TOWN.

tortion. If a stranger comes to your
town tell him everything is overdone,

wants 10 Clean House.
Editor Journal:
Having felt for long time that the
Republican party has neglected u
"Olean house" and geta better repre-
sentation of the people, and having
also felt a dislnclination TO vote the
Democratic ticket, naturally became
somewhat interested in the proposed
new party, now dubbed the Bull
Moose.
While Roosevelt is doing exactly to-
day the same thing Lincoln did in
1856. yet doubt II the issues of today
are SO vastly important to the bulk Of
the people as to unquestionably carry
the election.
In 1856 every man, woman and
child, North, South East and West
was interested in the question of sla-
very. Since that time no political is
sues have ever burned so deeply, so
fiercely, save perhaps, the free silver
question.
Roosevelt is making a campaign on
platform of better government Well,
we all want better government pro-
yiding, always, that we can still go
ahead and do as we please. We are
not so hot after perfect government
as 1t may appear to an observer, You
can't stir up much enthusiasm over a
moral advancement. There isn't any
thing novel about 1t. An economic
platform shorn of any moral provis-
ions, promising less work and more
pay, catches the eye of the voter
quicker than anything else The aver
age man lets his wife look after the
moral end of the string. Whether the
new party can arouse sufficient latent
energy to bring out the necessary
vote remains to be seen. On the Other
hand, there may be millions of voters
who are fully minded as to theil
choice, and who will quietly cast theil
vote for the new Progressive party
Some doubt must be entertained, since
that isn't exactly the style of the grea
and mighty American people. AS sooI
as we get safe and sane Fourth o
July, nobody wants it any more.
While the local convention Of tht
Bull Moose party was not quite as baC
as pictured in the Taft newspapers
yet it is apparent that all these Pro
gressive conventions are a waste o
time and energy. The real people o

outburst for Roosevelt. To infuse, o
to attempt to infuse this personal ad
miration for Roosevelt into local
state, county or city parties is a mis-
take. There is no demand for state
or any other ticket. Progressivenes
correctly analyzed means an individ
ual preference for Roosevelt for pres
ldent, and any effort to build a new
party upon that sentiment alone will
fail because voters will stick to thei
own party upon every other issue
save that Of the presidency. Th'
Roosevelt sentiment has eaten int

A large crowd greeted the appear
ance of Katherine Ridgeway, the
famous reader, as the second number
of the lecture course, Friday evening
December 9Th. She was hailed with
JOY by those who had been so fortu-
nate as to hear her before, and with
eager anticipation by those to whom
her charming personality was yet I'M
known. Probably no attraction in
thusiasm as was manifested In this
event. Fully half an hour before the
usual time for opening the doors,
rapidly increasing crowd was wait
ing outside the auditorium, eager for
admittance. The audience which
cheered Miss Ridgeway as she walk
ed upon the stage. was a record
breaker. They occupied every seat in
the building and many stood in the
lobby in the rear.
Miss Ridgeway's readings consist
ed of series of short stories, poems,
monologues and songs, humorous
and pathetic, all picturing some side
or angle of human nature. Between
readings she was ably assisted by
Miss Grace Desmond, an accomplish
ed pianist. and Mr. LudwIg G. Mey-
er, an excellent baritone-and good
fellow.
The trend of Miss Ridgeway's
readings was steadily upward. Be-
fore she had spoken a hundred words
she had removed herself from the
minds of the audience, and went
with them as they followed low
able old California pioneer through
a cleverly planned battle with the
oil monopoly From this point on the
reader held her audience in fascinat-
ed interest, as she touched string
after string of the human heart and
brought forth some new, sweet mel
ody, with its message of cheer. AS
she neared the climax of her enter
