dency of ours is manifest in the com
plants against the operation of the
primary law. Those whose power it
limits, the interests whose control it
has weakened and the politician of the
hole and corner variety whom 1t has
put out OF business to a very consider
able degree are quick to take advant-

Perhaps there are places where the
primary law needs fixing. If so let US
attend to that. No doubt that short

repair that is certain TO be considered
and adopted. The ballot with its null
titude of names and multiplicity of Of

A young man who wishes to conserve

est possible attainments in hfe's walk
will be open to him, can not do 1t by
wasting his time and strength and OPP
portunities by hours in questionable
company or entertainment. 1t may
seem & smart thing to do, at certain
age, but just as tomorrow succeeds to-
day. so sure Is the toll you must pay In
later years. The little vices which
YOU believe you can practice now in
safety will grow and dominate your
future, and in the end you'll learn
that true manhood is not to be de-
spised or held in light esteem. The
boy who doesn't drink. or swear, or
take pleasure in lewd stories. Is the
man you'll look up to tomorrow. and
who will gather unto himself the
respect Of his fellow man and the thing
which make life worth while. There's

and entertainment for young men and
boys, and they. should be careful to re-

the narrowness and cocksuredness of
youth which seldom takes time to look
into the future. and they know then
what a man sows in the earlier years
of life that will he reap when he
reaches lifes declining pathway The
young man who sows crop of wild
oats will reap a harvest of tares and
tears. The man who devotes his life
time to his own selfish interests. who
uses his powers TO trample under foot
those who trust him. will come to time
in life when he Will realize with bitter
regret that he has lived his life In vain.
He will then realize that he too. has
reaped what he has sown. The young
man who devotes his youth TO seeking
pleasures whever he may find them
comes to a time in his life when he too.
realizes that he has sown to the wind.

who violates them suffers the conse-

lHardin County Citixen.]
The worthless man, who never
works and never will. will be found
lounging along the street with fellow
men engaged in a similar occupation.
The gambler who dresses well ana
apparently does nothing will find
congenial companionship In a nest OF
gamblers. The man with graft or
skin game will seek a CRATER or a
skinner to assist him in his efforts.
A man engaged In questionable work
is liable to surround himself with
questionable help. A crook called to
account for crooked deeds will seek
crooked lawyer. They don't want
q fair and square attorney, who tries
case on It's merits and takes no
advantage. They want an attorney
who will resort to any method with
out scruple to save their guilty selves
from punishment. Thieves are not
