Honest Voters Wanted.

There are two sides to the ques-
ton of civic Righteousness. One is
the official, and the other is the
official-maker. 1t takes honest vot-
ers to make honest officials. The
fountain of corrupt suffrage will
send forth the bitter waters CT cor
rupt official practices. There is
the universal law of generation that
like begets like. A corrupted vote
begets a corrupted official.
The man who will sell his vote
for any price, whether the consid-
Grafton be one of personal gratifica-
ticn, financial gain, or political
preferment, is a CRATER. A voting
CRATER is bound to reproduce him
self in grating ruler. Of course,
the rule works both ways. An un-
scrupulous man, seeking to get in
to office, does so by corrupting the
voters. But if the voters were hon
est to begin with, he could never
succeed.
The man who will sell his vote
for any price is neither fit nor wor-
thv to be a citizen of any country.
He is mere civic tramp and vaga-
bond. The only way to protect the
rest o. the herd from a dangerous
OK is to dehorn him. The only way
to protect society from the danger
Gus vote-seller and vote-buyer is to
pass a stringent and unequivical
law, that will decitizenize every
man who sells his vote or who buys
votes, providing that he shall never
again become a voting citizen.
Next to the altar of Cod" said
DR.. ]. R. Straton, "no spot is
more sacred than the ballot box,and
similar centers of public thought
and activity" The right to vote
is a God-given right. No man has
a right to ignore Or abuse that
right. It Is just as wrong not to
vote as it is to vote wrong. Both
are bad citizenship. To quote DR..
Straton again. "Our country has
suffered more from the bad citizen
ship of good men than from any
thing else." Good men violate
moral obligation when they neglect
or refuse to exercise their suffrage
Ia electing good men to office.
In the last analysis then. 1t is
an abused, neglected and corrupted
suffrage that is responsible for our
present civil evils. One of the
visible and outstanding evils is that
of political bossism. AS has been
truly said, "The boss system nulli
flies the right and opportunity of the
people to rule themselves. Under
the guise of party loyalty it really
negatives party rule or popular rule
in the correct sense and substitutes
for II individual rule, something that
was far from the thoughts of Wash
ington and the men who with him
helped launch the republic on its
career"
In short, for a man to sell his
vote, is to sell his right to rule
hims elf. 1t is saving off between
himself and the trunk of the tree,
the civic limb on which he is
sitting. absurdly foolish. If we are
to escape the thralldom of political
bossism, we must muster in great
army OF honest voters. Victory
must come out of the Appomatax of
vo;es. Garcon.

IN mem0riam.

In sad, but loving, remembrance
OF my beloved sister, Mary E. Stan
ley. who departed this life eleven
years ago today, Feb. Is, 1902.
At Rest.
My dear sister is sleeping, so free
from all pain,
suffer again;
She slumbers soundly. oh, let her
sleep on,
Her sickness is ended, her troubles
all gone.
Oh, think how she suffered and en-
dured the pain.
Through the long night hours, as
we soothed her in vain,
Till God, In His mercy, sent down
from above
An angel, that whispered a message
of love.
Eleven years have passed and my
heart is still sore,
AS time flies on l miss her more;
She sleeps leave her in peace
to rest
The parting was painful, but God
knoweth best.
Farewell. dear sister, it is an awful
word,
Which pierces brothers. heart,
But, oh, it is the will of God
That our dear ones from US shall
part.
BY her brother,

Entitled to The Credf,

During the past few days The
Banner has learned that the action
taken by the States Attorney and
the Town Commissioners relative
to stopping the delivery of whiskey
and freight at the freight houses, on
the Sabbath, was due directly to
the action Of the local branch of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, which considered the SUBJ
ject at its regular meeting, and then
appointed a committee to wait upon
the States Attorney and the Town
Commissioners concerning the mat
ter.
The promptness with which the
organization took hold of the mat
ter Is deserving of the highest
commentator. Believing that such
deliveries were wrong. they pos
sessed the courage of their convic-
lions to publicly take a stand and
action against it. There are so
many reform organizations,o of which
the members, while willing to criti-
else abuses, are unwilling, personal
ly. to take any action, that is is
refreshing to find one in which the
members possess courage as well as
enlightenment.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union deserves the commenda-
ton of that portion of the public
which believes that the position
which 1t has taken Is correct. If
1t is upheld In this position, it will
be an aid and inspiration to it and
other kindred organizations to con-
tinue to take an active part in
making our country better.

Why Use L. g. Nj. Semi-MiXcd Real

it is pure White Lead, Zinc and
Linseed Oil. Because it's the high
est grade quality paint that can be
made. Because when the user adds
quarts of Oil to each l gallon of
the L. & M. Semi-Mixed Real Paint
it makes 1 ga gallons of pure paint
at cost of about $1.40 per gallon.
This saves the user about 60 cents

The new creed, which better fits new

that others have good qualities which
she lacks, and sinks in humility at the

She must say, II will do as well as

say about the broadening effects
of travel

TIME women have a great deal to
say about the broadening effects
of travel
Which means, boiled down to meet
the limitations of actual experience
that every time woman goes to an
other town TO broaden her mind she
comes back glowing with tales of the
wonderful bargains she found there In
ten-cent store.
Daysey Mayme Appleton is a firm
advocate of this method of broadening
the mind, and is never so happy as
when at the depot ready to spend her
fathers money. get cinder in her eye,
and experience all the broadening eff
fects OF visiting a new ten cent store.
She returned from such broadening
trip with a gold" pin she bought at
the marvellous ten-cent store in the
town she visited. She had paid only
ten cents for it.
The next week she lost It. Then it
began to assume a value out of all
proportions. She lamented it's loss to
her friends, and advertised it in the
papers. 1t was unique and antique. and
she began to adorn it with a ruby.
No one Tebuked her
ut had four diamonds" she said
next, "and was worth thousand dol
lars"
TT was my great great grand
mothers betrothal gift" she said next
time, and no estimate can be put on
its value
She added more diamonds. and then
pearl or two. In short, within a
month Daysey Mayme had begun to
enjoy her loss so much that no greater
distress could be known to her than a
return of the pin.
why do you do this. and make your
loss greater2" complained her father.
why does any woman who has suf-
fered a loss, be it a ten cent pin, a
friendship or an umbrella, add to the
loss by looking at II through magnify
ing glasses? Why not admit that pin
is worthless, the friendship of little
worth since it could be lost and the
umbrella something that could be cas-
uy replaced?'

u "A !
wv making a shrine of that term
"old fashioned" and attribut-
ing to it all the graces the world has
ever known.
Yet with all homage paid to the rev.
erence, the modesty the thrift, the
purity of thought and word Of those OF
sweet memory there is one attribute
that made them lovely in their day and
generation which has no place in the
world today, and that is their humility.
One should be humble; goodness knows
there is nothing in our parts in this
passing show to make US proud, but
one should not make of humility the
supreme virtue 1t was several centu-
ries ago.
1t had it's place then. 1t should not
be overlooked now; but if we attempt
to be as humble as were our ancestors
we succeed only in becoming victims
Of the habit of inferiority.
The old fashioned girl said in her
humility, II am not as pretty as other
girls; l am not as witty, I am not as
clever, l am not as graceful l must
keep in mind all these shortcomings
and be humble
And humble she was. and as girls in
those days had no other part in life
than to sit and spin while waiting for a
lover to come riding by, her humility
became her and assisted her in accom-
plishing her desired ambition, and that
was to be wooed and won, to become q
wife and mother.
With the passing Of this sort Of a
passive existence, there has also passed
away some Of the grace of humility

own destiny, and to be something, to be

woman because she is so intelligent"
That would be a lovely high browed
justification of his sentiments, but it is
doubtful If any man ever really fell in
love with a womans brains When he
loves such a one 1t is generally in spite
Of them, and not because Of them, and
as a rule the more scrambled they are
the better he likes her.
Or a man might say: 'I love her be-
cause she is so good" That would
truly be an excellent reason for love.
But did ever the knowledge that
woman was an angel on earth set
single mans pulse a-futter? A man
may respect, admire, reverence good
ness in woman, but it has never yet
lit the fire of passion in his heart.
His Many Reasons.
Or a man might say: 81 love this
woman because she is so domestic, be-
cause she will be such a helpmate to
me, and make the sort of mother
want my children to have" That's a
fine and dandy reason to be able to give
for ones affection. But Cupid isn't a
practical man. He's a dreaming boy,
and no man ever fell in love with a
woman because of what she could do
for him. and how comfortable she could
make him. True, he sometimes marries
for that reason, but when he does he
marries for his stomach and not his
heart.
In all good faith, if a man had to
answer the question, "Why do you
think you love this woman" and he
answered truly, he would say some
thing that would never get by the
matrimonial censor He would say,
Il love her for that little dimple at the
corner of her mouth" Or, 81 love her
for the way her hair curls around the
nape Of her white neck" Or. 81 love
her for the cunning look in her eyes

but their minds. Among other heart
searching questions that she would ask
young man is this one:
why do you think you love this par
ticular girl?"
It's probably Just as well that the
issuing Of a marriage license doesn't
depend on a man speaking right up and
answering that conundrum promptly
and to the satisfaction of the Grand In
quisitor, for if it did there would be no
more wedding bells
No living man knows why he falls in
love with the one girl, instead of an
other, or why one maiden sets his

him as cold as ice.
or course, the enamored lover, If such
a question should be put to him, would
say that the reason he loves Arabella
is because she is the most beautiful
creature on earth, with the most lissom
figure and the sweetest voice. and the
dearest ways, and because she Is the
first and only female lady person that
was ever created that possessed all Of
the virtues and did not have single
fault.
An Alienist Needed.
Then the Grand Inquisitor would take
one squint at Arabella and. perceiving

pityingly commit the besotted youth

No No man can give reason for

that is the answer. She's Just the one
woman for him. and that's all there is
to 1t, and logic has got nothing to do
with the situation.
OF course, to the Grand Inquisitor It
seems that a man should be able TO
give some intelligent reason for the
most important step Of his life. and
that when he Is asked. why do YOU
