out what the trouble With us IS,
 what is the cause of the condi-
 tions that now confront the tax
 payers of the county. If pos sible find out why it is that OUT
 County warrants are being l hawked on the market at fifty cents on the dollar. Why it is that our county road tax is today overdrawn. es I am told, in the sum of ten thousand dollars, or in other words that much road money of the next collection has been squandesed, even before the people had a chance to vote road tax 1 say gentlemen that somebody, somewhere. ought to be placed in a position ] to find out about these things. Why just three years ago our county script and road script was worth one hundred cents on the collar. What is the matter now? Why is it that county officials whose duty it is, have not made and published the financial state ment of the county as the law d. rects to be done? 1 promise you that if elected as your County Clerk that 1 will each year as the law directs publish the financial statements as required so that the tax payers may know what the true conditions of their county is
 Yes, fellow citizens, the time is here when we should lay aside personal friendship, political ties and all, and vote for the best in- terest of our homes and our county, and l promise you that if elected to the position to which -f aspire, that 1 will give you faithful and honest service and do everything in my power to put an end to the extravagant administration of affairs that seem to hold sway in the county's business matters.
 You all know, that there is something wrong somewhere. That the peoples interests are not being cared for as it de- serves and that it should be cor rected. If you feel that way about it, then go to the polls on the 9th of September and cast your vote for me with the as surance that if elected that I will do my best to correct the exist ing extravagence and misman- agement of it's affairs.
 Now gentlemen, it will be i'm possible for me to meet all of you in person and discuss these matters in detail with each and every one of you. l will say that in accepting this nomination and offering myself for the place, l am doing so as your servant, expecting that if elected to at tend to the duties of the office to the very best of my ability, to do the biddings of the people, to i've and work under the laws made for and by the people.

The Cost of the Schools.

Half a billion dollars was spent last year in thls glorious country on common school education.
 It seems like a very creditable sum. It is a lot of money.
 Yes, it is almost as much mon. iey as Rockefeller could lay bis hand to.
 Indeed, it is more than half as much as was spent in the same year in this country for tobacco. 1 Why, we spent third as much for com non education as we did for intoxicating beverages. | Let the eagle scream! l We are a great people, and ev- cry year are growing ..reater. Who knows but that in another hundred years we may be spend- ing as much money for the edu- cation of our children as for booze?
 Then, indeed, can we brag some.
 The value of our corn crop alone last year was four times the amount spent on common school education. AS we pro- gress in greatness. perhaps the peanut crop will pay the school bill.
 It is delightful to survey the figures that show us to be the most prosperous people upon the earth.
 But it would be more delight ful still if our boast of being the most enlightened people in the world were truer. N
 A self-governing people need common education more than any other. When the fathers established a new principle of government, they also estab- Iished. inseparable from it, new responsibilities. It may be to the safety and self-interest of czar to keep his people ignorant, but it is to the success and progress of a republic to have them as highly enlightened as possible. Just as there were no principles of government any, where in force which the farm CTS of our constitution could adopt, so there are no standards of general education anywhere today which we can recognize.
 The strength and safety of some nations are in their armies and navies. The safety and progress of some others are in the wisdom of their monarchs. But the strength. the safety. the progress and the hope of this nation are in the education of the common people, who are their governors.
 The man who can turn one dollar into ten amasses millions, while the man or woman of higher quality who turns a child into a good citizen wins a bare living.
 Capital flows freely towards business enterprises that promise high profits. but it goes slowly and grudgingly to the enterprise of common education, the real profits of which are beyond cal culation. -News-Scimitar.

Robert is, the glad hand artist, to
repeat 9 few of his stillborn con-
gressional speeches made history

stand-patters except once in awhile
when he probably becomes
ashamed and refuses to vote at ell.
