Some day must take thirty from the hook
When that time comes, pray you ALL forget
That was outcast; that lived, crook;
For on that day I'd want of you to let
Me lie in some quiet spot, where children go
To play and romp with happy laugh and song;
l think, perhaps, that might catch the glow,
The purity that / had missed so long.
OH Do not lay me where the wild winds blow
I've had enough Of wiIdness: let me rest
In some calm spot where only flowers grow,
And have some little maid, place my breast
With simple prayer, rose of purest white
A rose of white, because by angels kissed
All! Yes when have bid the world, goodnight
I'll want at last the things I've always missed.

Corrupt Practices Act Test
Editorial-Pioneer Press

The corrupt practices act, recently
passed by the Legislature, has had
it's first test in the eourts and has
been upheld by Judge Grindeland of
Mahnomen, who ruled that the man
elected treasurer of Mahnomen coun-
ty is ineligible to hold the office be-
cause he gave away drinks and cigars
during the campaign. 1t was shown,
for example, that the candidate at
tended a dance at which he passed
a bottle" He gave cigars and drinks
to voters on other occasions, accord
ing to the findings Of b e court.
That was in violation of the corrupt
practices act and consequently makes
him ineligible to hold the office to
which he aspired and for which he
received majority of the votes cast
in the county.
The corrupt practices act has been
condemned by many politicians and
others since the fall campaign began
They have contended that it is too
drastic, and there may be features
that should be modified. But those
prohibiting the passing out of cigars
and drinks are not among the OBJ
jectionable restrictions. Some will
contend that man should not be
debarred from serving as county
treasurer simply because he gave a.
way a few cigars and drinks; that
such campaign generosity should not
be held of great Importance SO long
as the candidate is qualified for the
office he seeks. 1t is of much i'm
portance.
Why should a candidate for coun-
ty treasurer pass a bottle" among
voters before election? It is a re-

We never will have satisfactory

considerations. What this country
needs is an electorate that will not
be influenced by the passing of a
bottle; that will consider only the
qualifications of the candidates.
The task of reforming people to
such an extent that they would re-
fuse a proffered bottle would be a
large one. 1t is, however, COMPARE

heart of Seattle. 1t is pleasant
voice; not musical prehaps, but
full of rugged strength, fall OF pur-
pose, full OF honesty; voice once
heard not to be mistaken, voice
full of purpose. and determination to
carry that purpose through at any
cost. It is not cultured voice, but
rings pleasantly 10 the ears. 1t is
the voice Of the frontier, the voice OF
the north. It is the voice OF the
fighter and the voice of worker;
and the voice fits the people fits the
city.
Seattle is, l believe. the biggest
city in the United States. That
makes you sit up and take notice, but
I do not mean big in numbers; but
big in purpose, big in city pride, big
in open handed hospitality, big in
ability to see and grasp an oppor-
tunity. You remember the Frisco

Seattle decided she wanted some

KEYNOTE TO FARM SUCCESS
Man Who Counts II Economy to Keep

man who counts II economy to keep
his cows on starvation rations and
his horses down to skin and bones
will never get one bit ahead.

ductor or city policeman-we have
known such cases-but they never

VALUABLE QUALITY TO HAVE
ties Of Other Men Is the One
That Succeeds.

Seeing" men is an art. 1t amounts
almost to second sight. Often, in a
business line" some man makes his
way mysteriously and rapidly to the
top, or near to it. He does not seem
to have greater trading ability than
many others, nor has he been favored
by a larger capital or a more mag
netic personality. But he rises. His
faculty of seeing" men has been the
magical force.
1t is no trick at all to discover the
man who has triumphantly made a
record, who is already a personality
in this trade or that. Unfortunately,
such a man is unfailingly costly.
What he has done, moreover, Is no
positive guarantee as to his future ex-
ploits. Men of great reputation as
lieutenants many times prove great
disappointments when they shift. The

reputation is yet to be made, and
thereby gets the profit himself.-Har-
