Man comes into this world with
out his consent, and leaves it against
his will.
During his stay on earth. his time
is spent in a continuous round of
contraries and MISUNDERSTANDING.
In his infancy he is an angel; in his
boyhood he is devil; aud in his
manhood be is anything from
lizard up. In his duties, he is a fool
and it be has no family. he is COM
hitting race suicide. If he raises a
check he is tibet; and the law rails
es cain with hun. II he is a poor
man, be is a poor manager, aud has
no sense. II he is a rich man, he is
dishonest, but is considered smart,
II he is in politics, be is a CRATER
and crook. Ifhe is out OF politics
you can't place hIE, and he is an un-
desirable citizen, II he goes TO church,
he is a hypocrit. II he stays away,
he is a sinner If be donates to
foreign missions, he does it for show,
and if he don't, be is stingy and a
tight wad.
When he comes into the world
everybody wants to kiss him; but
before he goes out of it, all want to
kick him.
II he dies young, there is a great

lives to ripe old age, he is in the

expenses.

known, at least, the biggest
crop since the Democratic hard
times years ago. In many co I'M
ties, there are from eight to
twelve candidates, where, ordi-
narily, there have been only two
to four.

well, If there are not many
candidates for sheriff, you can
put it down the country is pros
porous, but if aspirants for
sheriff are numerous, then the
inner Judgment of the country
is that we are going to have con-
tinued hard times"
If the institutions of the swarm
of candidates for sheriff are
sound, then there will be more
chance that the disposition of
property will be taken from the
the owner and given to the sher-
if and receivers, and that the
hammer heretofore welded by
the artisan will be swung to the
accompaniment of the raucous
voice of the auctiOneer. Con-
gressmen with literary inclina-
tions say the crowding candi-
dates for sheriff scenting hard
times remind them of LOngfel-
lows words:
Never stoops the soaring val
ture
Der his quarry in the desert,
O'er the bison, sick and wounded,
But another vulture watching.

Washington Letter
{ SPECIAL To THE ADVOCATE J

Washington, ID. O., Sept 20. ia
Congressman Kinkead, of New
Jersey, is running for Sheriff
If he gets the nomination he will
resign his seat in Congress. They
offered him the postmastership
at Jersey City, one of the choicest
bits of Federal patronage in that
State, but he shook his head.
He was not to be sidetracked.
He had started out to run for
sheriff and he was going to run
for sheriff, and that's all there
was to it. His Democratic col
leagues looked at him in amaze
ment. They couldn't figure out
his game. That puzzled them
all the more was that he had al
ways enjoyed a reputation of be-
ing pretty longheaded. And he
had good show to stay in Con-
gress.
So they began to speculate on
what he was up to. They have
solved the problem. They have
decided that the Jersey states
man is cannier than any of them.
They have handed it to him for
his foresight. This is the way
they have figured it out. There
is not much money in being a
Congressman, especially when
he has to stay on the job in
Washington all the year round.
But there is money in being
sheriff, provided there are hard
times ahead. When things 60
badly for the people, they 60
we'll for the sheriff, for then
there are law suits, executions
for the sale of property, receiv-
erships, and all those other steps
incident to the disposition of
property through courts of law,
steps SO generally known and SO
widely despised. So those Con-
gressmen have concluded that
Mr.. Kinkead sees continued
hard times ahead and sights big
fat, juicy fees, emoluments and
perquisites which sheriffs en-
Joy when other folks are up
against it.
But Congressman Kinkead is
not the only man~who wants to
be sheriff, although his candi-
dacy is notable because he is
willing to give up seat in Con-
gress and go back to the sheriff IS
office Those who have looked
into the subject say there is the
largest crop Of candidates for
sheriff the country. has ever
