A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM.

The nomination of Woodow Will
son for president means new dem
ocracy. 1t means a new epoch in
American self-government
The democratic party at last has
broken its shackles. 1t has emanci-
pated itself. 1t has rehabilitated it.
self in power and principle. 1t has
! turned it's face to the rising sun, to
re-establish the faith of the Ameri-
can people in their own institutions.
Woodrow Wilson will be the next
president of the United States. But
he will be more than that. He will
be the first president of the United
States in generation to go into Office
owing favors to nobody except the
American. people and under obliga-
tions to nothing except the general
welfare.
No political boss brought about
his nomination. No political ma
chine carried his candidacy to vic
tory. No coterie of Wall street
financiers provided the money to
finance his campaign. He has no
debt to pay to corrupt politics or to
corrupt business. He was nominated
by the irresistible force of public
opinion, and by that alone. He
stands before the country free
man.
The American people have set out
to regain possession Of their govern
ment, and Woodrow Wilson was
nominated for president because he
embodies that issue. The bosses and
the plutocrats who tried to prevent
his nomination were beaten by the
power of the people, and the power
that nominated him is the power
that will elect him.
With Woodrow Wilson as the dem
ocratic candidate FOR president it !
makes no difference what Mr.. Roose-
welt does. 1t makes no difference
how many third parties he organ
ICES. Progressive democrats and
republicans now have a
candidate of their own. The contest
between Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Taft
is now contest for the control of
the republican organization, and
nothing more. The menace of a
third term no longer hangs over the
The menace of personal
no longer threatens
American institutions. The United
States is not to be Mexicanized. 1t
S to be re-Americanized.
1t is because Gov. Wilson repre-
;ents this vital principle that The
World so persistently urged his NOM
nation. 1t is because Gov. Wilson
represents this principle that the OPP
position within the party was forced
o surrender 1t is because Gov: Will
on represents this principle that he
will be trumphantly elected in No
'ember. Such a man is imperatively
leeded, and the American people,
rue to their traditions in every
risis, have again found him.
Gov. Wilson's nomination means
hat the rule of the boss is over. 1t
means that the partnership between
orrupt politics and corrupt business
n national politics is forcibly dis
olved. 1t means that the old re-
ime of protection to privilege and
lutocracy is on the scaffold. 1t
leans that the old gods are dead.
The United States is back to the
enediction pronounced by Abraham
lincoln on the battlefield of Gettys-

A C
REMEDY
By Nj. QUAD
Copyright, 1912, by Associated Lit
erary Press.

When Philetus Smallmal aud Eunice
Carter were married Deacon Roberts
rubbed his hands together and said to
his wife:
"A happy match. my dear-a very
happy one"
Both are religious" answered the
wife.
"Very religious. Neither has skipped a
sermon or a prayer meeting for years.
1T will be one long. happy day for
them
1T surely will. This match was made
In heaven, whether any others have
been or not. l shall be only zoo glad
to take them by the hand and con-
graduate them"
The fact that Ph1letus was an old
bach and Eunice an old maid and that
they had courted for three years before
marriage had nothing to do with it.
This is a free country, and n may fall
in love at sixteen or wait Until he is
forty.
Yes, the happy pair were religious
and belonged to the same church; but,
though many things were discussed be-
fore marriage, religion was laid away
on the shelf and left undisturbed. That
they had it and lived by 1t was enough.
And yet there was a surprise in store
for both. While church members, there
were certain things open to doubt in
their minds. 1t was Philetus who first
gave expression to one Of his doubts.
They had been married q month when
one day he called attention to the phys
1cal fact that Jonah would have suffo-
Gated inside Of two minutes in the
whales belly had he been swallowed.
But he didn't s%uffocate,' replied Eu-
nice.
Because he wasn't swallowed"
what! You doubt itY
II must say I do"
Eunice said no more. She sat down
and gasped for breath and an hour
later visited the deacon in his real
estate Office to relate the incident and
ask for advice.
I'D a leetle rather Philetus believed
that Jonah was swallowed" replied the
deacon, "but I can't say that his disbe-
lief is goin' to keep him out Of heaven.
I've met some good men that kinder
SHE'D off from that story"
But of course he was swallowed"
"Of course, but it shouldn't get up
any hard feelings in the family. Better
go home and say nothing more"
1t was Eunice that expressed the
next doubt. She did it by asking Phi
letus If he really believed the children
Of Israel crossed the Red see dry shod.
"Why of course they did," was the
reply.

MODERN FIGHTERS SKILLFUL

SO Says Jack johnson, Who Bears No
Bruises After 119 Fights.
No It'll" ears. nor battered face. nor
broken" hands.
Yet Jack Johnson has fought llS
battles in the prize ring
THE modern fighter is not beaten IN
like the old time gladiator" said the big
colored heavyweight in Cincinnati re.
Gently. Look at those hands" and John.
sou showed out two big fists. There
isn't Il thing the matter with them.
Ny ears don't show a single blow. The
modern fighter Is more skillful. He
learn how to box so as to escape pun
ishment. Speed and skill are his chief
characteristics"
johnson appears in excellent condi-
ton. He looks much bigger in ring
costume than he does in his street
clothes. he is wonderfully built from
head to foot. the unusual shape Of his
head making him appear taller than he
really is. Johnson still carries that
golden SMILE" and bis general de-
meanor is that of an overgrown boy.
Have You heard that Jeffries intends
to fight all the white hopes and then
challenge you If he is successfulY'
Johnson vas asked.
Il don't think there is anything In it.
Jeffries would never have fought ME If
he hadn't been broke" johnson an
swered.
"How about Flynn?"
"He is a strong fellow" said tho
champion, "but he hasn't had the expe.
rience, and be doesn't know how to
box"
johnson weighs 235 pounds, which Is
about fifteen pounds of excess weight

An Effective Whistle.

A popular English author was Who'll
~ incapacitated from work by a lady
who lived next door and strummed
through Handel's Messiah His idea
of the inviolability Of an Englishman's
house did not allow him to send in
any message, and he was at his wits
end till be saw in a daily paper that
steam whistles could be bought to fit
on to kettle spouts. He provided him
self with one and put the kettle on
the fire in the room nearest the singer.
As soon as the whistle began he went
out. OF course the bottom came off
the kettle. but it cost little to solder
1t on again. and after two or three
soldertngs the lady took the hint.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1912-07-18

"But there were some puddles LETT,
even if the waters rolled back
"You never mind about the puddles.
There wasn't any sidewalk built for
them as I know of. but nobody got his
feet wet"
"I've often wondered whether they
did or not"
Then away went Philetus to Deacon
Roberts to relate the incident and said:
1T will he a dreadful thing if it
turns out that I have married an unbe-
lever"
"Oh. l guess Eunice is all right
drawled the deacon. Its a woman's
way to kinder doubt. Even my wife,
who got religion when she was 'leven
years old. seems to be a leetle Shy on
some things. Eunice is purity sure Of
going to heaven when she dies"
Both Eunice and Philetus ought to
have been satisfied after an interview
with the deacon, but such was not the
case. And they ought to have had the
sense not to bring up other subjects Of
dispute, but those who have once start
ed a wrangle on religious matters are
agreed that it is a hard thing to break
off. The newly weds found it 50.
There were more doubts. more dis
putes. more calling on the deacon for
sympathy and advice. He was a good
natured man.. and for weeks and
weeks he bore with the disputants.
Then Philetus came again. and Eu-
nice came again, and the deacon's lin
it was finally reached. He didn't con-
suit with the parson. his wife or any,
body else. He just sat down and had
a good think and then told his wife
he guessed he'd drop down to the
postofice and see if there was a posta!
card from his brother in Vermont.
Philetus and Eunice were having a
hot dispute over the loaves and fishes
as the deacon walked in on them with
out knocking.
"I'm glad you came!!" cried both in
chorus.
"So'm T." he said as he began to shed
his coat.
what is it, deacon?"
"Philetus, I am going to give you a
gaul burned good whaling. and, Eu-
nice. I'm going to lock you down cellar
for two whole days. You've disputed
and wrangled and come to me till I'm
sick and tired of it. l thought you
had some religion and a little sense.
but ding my buttons if you've got
either"
"Pnt 6oacOnv-
mo butts about it. You either prom.
Use to quit here and now or III pro-
coed to raise thunder and blazes.."
The deacon had them on the run.
He'd neve made use Of such language
unless he'd reached the jumping off
place. He had his coat off and had
spat on his hands in a business way.
when the couple cried quits. And from
that hour argument ceased, and the
dove Of love and peace had a steady
