A Doubtful Introduction.

In Rubinstein's "Reminiscences' we
read how the illustrious pianist went
from Berlin to settle in Vienna, forti-
fed by letters Of introduction to vari-
q celebrities given to him by the
Russian ambassador at the Prussian
court. He presented several Of them
without any beneficial result, and It
then occurred to him to tear open those
which remained and read them. They
all ran, he says. as follows:
Dear Countess-Our position as am.
bassador and ambassadress imposes
upon us the tiresome duty Of patron
izfng and introducing all kinds Of COM
patriots, who are often most importu-
nate In their solicitations. l therefore
now venture to introduce to you q Ger.
tain ~Rubinstein, the bearer Of this
communication"
After that experience Rubinstein
threw all his letters Of introduction into
the fire, and he got on a great deal bet
ter without them.

Boycotting the Lower End.


Are the Stouts and the Maxwells
along with other landed interests
planning to build all contemplated
good roads in one section of the coun-
ty? This question has been asked by
many since the Democratic county
convention on account of the action
taken by the convention in nomi-
mating candidate for member OF
the county court.
Aside from personal reference,
the action of the conception in this
respect. is a serious one to the lower
end of the county, which pays large
proportion of the taxes and is more
populoqs than the upper end.
The two holdover mmbers of the
county court reside in what is
known as the upper end of the coun-
ty. 1t is tue that one OF them re-
sides in a district that is classified
as being in the lower end but his
home is within only a short distance
OF the dividing line between the two
ends with most of his own district
extending below 1t. The othei
member lives we'll up IN the upper
end. The Democratic county con
vention selected a nominee for the
place to be filed far up in the up,
per end, and his election would
virtually mean that the entire mem
bership Of the court live in the up
per end of the county. The lower
end would then be like the thirteen
colonies were before the Revoiu'
ton, when they declared themselves
against taxation without representa-.

The last year or more Democratic
newspapers in this state have been
alluding to the Democratic House
of Representatives as progressive.
William ]. Bryan openly charged
Clark and Underwood as being re-
dictionaries and representing the re-
dictionary partSof the party The
national convention at Baltimore
accepted Mr. Bryan's charge as true
and declined to give Champ Clark
the nomination for president, not
withstanding the fact that at one
time in the life of the convention
Clark and Underwood as being re-
the delegates. Bryan said Clark
and Underwood are reactionaries Z.
The convention said the same thing
The puzzle OF the age is how the
Democratic press can figure it out
that the Democratic House of Rep
resentatives is progressive with
a reacuonary leadership comprised
of Clark and Underwood.

II matters not what the platform
adopted by the Democratic national
convention says laudatory OF the
Democratic House Of Representatives.
the convention in fact and act, re-
pudiated that body. Champ Clark
after Bryan's attack ON him issued
statement calling attention to the
fact that he as speaker OF the House
OF Representatives was "the rank
ing official Democrat in national
pubic life. !" In this connection he
declared that william j. Bryan
was q traitor to his party.
Champ Clark readily recognized
that his defeat in the conyen-
ton could. not be construed by the
public as anything except a repudI-
alton of the Democratic House Of
Representatives by the Democratic
party in national convention as
scmbled and such It was in fact.
The reputation did not stop,
however, with Clark. ,but was ex-
tended to the conventions acton
concerning Mr.. Underwood, Demo-
cratic floor leader of the House or
Representatives and, chairman of
its ways and means committee.
Underwood was turned down. too,
by the convention. thus emphasizing
the attitude OF the national conven-
ton toward the Democratic House
OF Representatives.
Democratic newspapers have been
busy extolling the House of Repre-
sentatiyes as one of the greatest
and best in the nations history; yet
that same press knows now that
the party refused to pick from that
body SO mooted for greatness two
men for president and vice press-
dent. Instead 1t turned them
all down and went to the support of
men who had never made single
imprint on the statutes on national
government.
The convention plainly demon
strated that It had a very strong
suspicion of the leaders of its party
in the House of Representatives and
1t was openly charged and not sue
cessfully denied that the Houses
Democratic leaders, represented
questionable interests.
The reputation OF the Democratic
House of Representatives by rob
btng Champ Clark of the nomination
and by giving Oscar Underwood
such scant support will have far
greater bearing on the campaign
than the conventions itself suspected,
The Democratic press was cooked
and primed to lay great stress on the
work of the Democras in Congress.
but now it finds itself confronted
with the conventions act Of giving
that House and its record solar
plexus blow by refusing to stand for
either of the two Democratic leaders
Of the House.
Clark's defeat means much in the
campaign. Underwoods failure to
command greater following is also
significant.

EMIGRATION


There are SO many great stories
That to US have newer been told.
How many heroes, fought and died
In the rough hut good days Of old
Many fought and many suffered,
In the mountains and on the
plains;
Fousiht until their dying moments,
While their lSeItlOod ebbed out,
In pain.
Why did they all fight so hravely
And conquer everything so well??
1t was to save their followers
From the TERRIBLE pangs of hell.
Not the hell We have hereafter. =
But the one that's here on earth;
For, living always in It's grasp,
What WOULD all of our lives be
worth?
So, to free us from that monster,
Our own fathers strove amain.
Let us not let all their precepts
Or good example, be in vain.
Let us follow in their footcteps
In the race that they've begun;
Which, although it Is not completed
They with speed and power have
run.
That the world may be the better
Simply because We all are here,
Let us try to scatter round US
Bits of happiness and of cheer.
