WILL MEET
To Consider the School
Treasurer's Bond.

The amount of the bond which the
new treasurer of the Richmond schoo,
board must give. will be one of the
important questions before council
this evening. Council met for about
ten minutes last evening before II I'd
journed. A small number OF council
men discussed this question. The sal
airy of the treasurer Of the school
board is 800 per year. He Is reQuir-
ed to give bond in the sum of $2eo.e0o
and to get this bond from q bonding
company or through a bank win cost
him S425 per year. The Council will
discuss a method OF making up for
this discrepancy between the treasur-
ers salary and his bond. Both the
bond and salary are fixed by law, and
il is impossible for Council to raise
the salary of the treasurer after his
acceptance of the office.

Mr.. Judkins accepted the nominal
ton saying that he would be in the
General Assembly next year. He de-
clared that he would live up to the
platform of the Progressives in every
sense of the word
A small stir was created when one
of the delegates made a motion that
the convention delegate to the county
central committee the power to fill
any vacancies that might occur on the
regular county ticket
Edward F. Warfel a delegate, arose
and declared that such method of
selecting men to fill any possible va
cancies on the ticket was impossible
and not true to the teachings of the
new party. He declared that while all
of the members of the central commit
tee are honest, straightforward men,
yet a second meeting of the county
delegates should be held to fill vacan-
cies. Other delegates expressed the
same sentiments as those expressed
by Warfel and motion was passed to
the effect that the convention meet at
the call of the central committee to
fill possible vacancies.
A Harmonious Affair.
The county convention was one of
harmony and enthusiasm was rife
When the announcement was made
that Albert j. Beveridge would speak
at the district convention this after
noon, the delegates gave vent to pent

gressive candidate for governor of the
state.
At the mention of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt's name the delegates again
cheered themselves hoarse.
Richard Vansant nominated James

representative for Fayette and Wayne

The nomination was seconded by E. E
Oldaker, the present incumbent. Mr.
Oldaker stated he believed Mr. Mason

ton. He said that inasmuch as the
last joint representative was from
Wayne county it was fair that a Fay
cite county man should be nominated

LOYAL PLEDGES To PEOPLE

from economic as well as moral evils.
Albert ]. Beveridge, the Progressive
candidate for governor of Indiana. for
hos fourteen years of loyal service in
the cause of his fellow citizens OF this

ed the pledge he made years ago in
these words. The people alone shall
be my master and to them l will be

The following were the resolutions
adopted by the sixth district Progress
sive convention this afternoon:
Mr. Chairman:
We the resolution committee submit
the following report:
We, the Progressives of the sixth
congressional district Of the State Of
Indiana, unreservedly and enthusiast
cally endorse the candidacy of Theo-
dore Roosevelt for president of the
United States and Hiram w. Johnson
for vice president. Both have served
their countrymen in the past faithfully
and with honor and credit to them
selves Theodore Roosevelt as presi-
dent fearlessly and impartially enforc-
ed the law. regardless of the wealth
and power of the law-breakers and has
been a mighty force in arousing the
moral sense of the nation to a revolt
against present political and econom-
ical evils Hiram w. Johnson. as gov
ernor Of the great state OF California,
has led to a successful conclusion the
fight against the powerful Southern
Pacific railroad machine and restored
popular rule in that commonwealth.
We heartily endorse and commend
the Progressive national platform.
Containing such proposals as for the
initiative, referendum and recall 1t
must ever be regarded as a new dec
laration of political independence. In
it's declaration for equal suffrage, a
minimum wage law for women and
the abolition of child labor slavery, 1t
must be regarded in the light Of a
great proclamation of emancipation

He devoted his time to considera.
ton Of the state platforms presented
to Indiana voters this fall He compar.

Mr.. Foulke criticized Governor Mar

of vice president of the United States
citing the new constitution drafted last
year by Marshall and declared that the
method proposed for it's submission
was wholly unconstitutional.
"Now this governor, said Mr.. Foulke

ty proposes to elect as vice president
of the United States. So long as he is
vice president there is little danger
, in permitting that kind of man to pre-
side over the senate. But God help the

A SANE CHRISTMAS

We hope Christmas will pass of
this year without the Christmas
Eve reyelry that sometimes char
acterizes this occasion. The bois-
ferrous fun frequently engaged in is
very Objectionable and dangerous
and should be cut out. We be-
lieve in young people having a
good time, and innocent fun and
amusement is all right, but when
amusement becomes dangerous to
life and property it should be sup
pressed.
The city authorities have passed
an ordinance against the shooting
OF fireworks. There is a law also
against selling them or giving them
away. The city marshal will have
authority to enforce these laws and
he will endeayor to do so. The
law is posted at the court house
and will be published in the town
papers this week.

Mr.. Bryan in his Commoner has
the following to say about the &C
ton Of President Taft along this
line:
THE democrats in the senate
are right in insisting that import
ant appointments should be re-
served for the presidcnt-elect.
This is especially true when the
appointees are to hold office for
life.
The democrats at Washington
are justified in condemning the
paytisanship which leads the presi-
dent to extend the civil service
when that extension bad no higher
purpose than the retention of re-
publican appointees.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1912-12-20
OFFICE GRABBING

The effort being made by Presi-
dent Taft to extend the civil SER
vice so as to insure the retension
of republican appointments, and in
trying to make important appoint
ments that will cover nearly the
entire term Of President Wilson,
is hardly in keeping with the
presidents former conservation
and dignilied action. The civil
service extention to $4,000 fourth
class postmasters will be consid-
cred, by the public, as last gift
from repudiated administration.

WHAT is CHRISTMAS

It is something more than the
exchange of gifts or the bestowal OF
stereotyped charity; it is intin-
iteIy more than ths hanging of a
stocking or the fixing Of star
above the altar.
1t is the season of a new birth,
not only of the child in the man
ger, but of spirit of tenderness
in your heart, a waking Of your
soul to new and gentle responsible
tiles.
Christmas is what you say to
others the word of cheer, the
soft answer that wins the errant
heart, the call of comradship that
gives the down-trodden a sense of
equality that strengthens his pur-
pose and lightens his sense of isola-
ton. Therefore, speak kindly at
the Christmastide.
Christmas is what you think
the clean ideas, the uplifting sug-
gestions, the inspiring thoughts
that fill you with an exhilaration
that sits your standard on the
heights and quickens your feet for
the upward climb. Therefore,
think pure, sweet things at Christ
mastide.
Christmas is v hat YOU care for
not the trimming feshpots, but
the happy things, the kindness Of
action, the smile of sad neighbor,
the laugh of happy poverty, the
star-glow among the greenery, the
pealing melody of an anthem that
tells of love that never dies. There
fore, learn to care for the spiritual
side of the Christmastide.
Christmas is what YOU do the
srcrihce you make for others, the
gladness you carry to darkened
homes, the cheer you scatter where
gloom prevailed, the helping hand
you hold out to those who stumble
or totter, the faiths you restore BY
your unsel6Sh zeal. Therefore,
be not idle at Christmastide.
For it is not what we get, but
what we give, that makes this
festival a season of peace and good
will. And what we give must not
be of the purse alone; but We must
give of our time, our patience, our
tenderness, our very selves.
Already there is a pale pre-
mention in the sky, already
the rising Star trembles on the far
horizon, already the Christmas
spirit is calling, calling. What
will you say and think and care
for and do-wbat answer will you
make to the reckoning Christmas
tide. Commercial Appeal.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1912-12-20

The plea that prohibition fails
to prohibit would be quite valid if
it could be shown that every license
system succeeds better in regulat-
ing the liquor traffic. Police adj
ministrations fall down in the at
tempt to restrict the illicit selling
Of liquors in any community where
the traffic is licensed. Prohibition
does throw the business into dis
repute Itclears the main thorough

them from the sight Of the many
