w. j. Fields asks the Demo-
Gratis of the ninth district to re-
nominate him as their standard
bearer for congress this year. In
the proper columns of the CoUR-
Ter you will find his announce
ment.
Will Fields as he is known by a
majority of the people Of the 9th
district needs no introduction at
our hands, and a personal tribute
to him would be supurhuous. Big
hearted affable and courteous he
makes and keeps friends wher-
ever he goes. The greatest tribute
that can be paid to his popularity
is to recall the election Of two
years ago when he, on account of
his personal worth and known
integrity, defeated Mr.. Bennett
for the Office to which he now
again aspires. The district had
gotten in a habit of electing Re-
publicans to congress. The politi-
clans tried to redeem it and failed.
Bill Fields is not a politician in the
usual deception of the term. He
IS an honest man. He asked for
the Democratic nominotion and
received it, and went before the
people upon the record of an hon
orable and upright life in all OF
his vocations. 1t won. The people
love the honest and just nan and
the possession of these qualities
are the only real foundation fol
a stable, lasting popularity. Mr.
Fields has pursusd in congress
the same course that has charact.
lied him throughout his life;
course of painstaking conscien
tious work serving his constituen
cy with faithful and devoted ap
plication.
Above all Bill Fields is a Demo
crat. He is in the vanguard of al
party battles. And when he lead
victory perches upon his ban
ner. Bill Fields personal popu
larity- the confidence the peopl
had in him personally wfeste
from the control Of the Republ
cans Of the 9th district when
was doubtful with the chance
: in favor of the enemy. No
that it is largely Democratic, sha
r we prove ungrateful and unal
, preciative of his work? But tn
is a minor consideration. II

speare, Spencer, Pope, Byron,
Shelley, Moore, Coleridge, Gold
smith, Cowper, Keats, Brown

Longfellow, and all of the poets
whose works will live, drank
deeply of this ancient lore. Mil

TUMPTION
THE OLD GODS.
Common Sersc without Frills.
BY L. II. HoyERMALE.

How intensely human were the
old gods, the gods of the an
clients! The average Christian
is apt to believe that the old pa
gan religions contained nothing
but ignorance and horrors,
when, in fact, many Of the basic
truths of our religion were tenets
of their faith. Their philosophy
has been the inspiration of our
poets and has left us a heritage
of the beautiful in literature.
The old gods were the crea-
tions of the people themselves
Their deities represented what
was noblest and best in them,
and how they compel in us an
admiration for the strong gods
and the strong people who made
them! Without the aid of Di-
vine revelation Tor were they'd
it was that belief in a Supreme
Being, or Beings, that has ever
been in man in whatever age OF
cline found, that caused them tc
create these gods and worship
them. Dismiss the idea that
their worship was directed tC
the craven stone. Those images
were only typical of their mag
mary gods their affairs.
Imperfect gods, you say
Granted. But Oh, how human
How like themselves and how
like u.s. How little man has
changed since Jupiter ruled the
universe!
