Do not forget the mass meeting
at Lawrenceburg on the 4th, next
Saturday, TO select delegates to
the convention at Nashville the
18th of this month. Hon. John
NJ Forsythe, chairman Of the dem.
ocratic executive committee of this
county, is doing a noble work to
harmonic and hold the party to-
gether in the county. If the peo-
pie will listen TO and follow HIM
there will be no discordant note
sounded at the convention from
Lawrence county. The party in
This county never had II stronger
or more conservative leader than
Mr.. Forsythe. He is in close
touch with the body of the people
respected, trusted and beloved by
all who know him both in his owl
party and the ranks of the enemy
There are no two qualities NOR,
necessary to the successful leade
than the power to command tn,
confidence of his own following
and the respect of his opponents
Mr.. Forsythe possesses both thes
in marked degree. Lawrenc
county is fortunate in having sucI
a citizen and the party is lucky Il
having him at its head.

A fact, we'll worth the serious
thought of every voter before
selecting his public servants this
year, is very strongly and very
trulystated in the following from
the Birmingham Ledger:
"a deficit is a wilfull wrong,
doing by men, 1t is not an, act
Of providence. Deficits do not
Gust happen" They are made
by the reckless expenditure OF
more money than the state has
That is criminal because every
member of the legislature and
every governor took an oath t.
discharge his duties faithfully.

The laws of England, France
and Germany provide for FIRE
qpent revision Of the statutes
governing banks. A fundamen
tai law in Canada is that the
bank laws be revised every ten
years. The purpose Is to have
laws to meet the changing condi.
tions Of business. The national
bank act of the United States
stands practically as it did when
PASSED in 1868. Com mercial bus

Setting aside February % as
Colonist Day for 1912 Governor
West, in his proclamation, calls
special attention to the sort of
colonists Oregon needs. He urges
people Of the state to write back
East to their friens and invite those
who will help clean up the thous-
andi Of acres of timber and sage
brush land and assist in making of
it the agricultural state it should
be. The Governor says the state
does not need city men subsisting
on daily wage, except as he may
follow the institution of the fac
tory, the workshop or the business
house. The need of the state is ac-
tive men with active money end
efficient effort. The colonist period
this year is from March | to April
15. The success of the colunist
day last year was most unexpected.
Nearly every commercial organize
tion in the state participated in this
most unique advertising campaign
and set aside its own special day for
observing II, the total pumber of
pieces of mail that went East be-
cause Ct the special efforts made
ran up into the millions. The
school children and many social or

vices in writing letters and mailing
literature. The result was probably
the biggest short-time advertising
camp; j IN that any state has known.
