BLANKS AND PROMISES.

So far there has been no move upon the part of the president to check the talk at this time concerning his can- didacy for a second term. There has been no denial of the statement cred ited to him that he will seek the of dce again nor has hs even cslled off the bankers who have of late been sounding the country upon such pos- sibility.
 Just what defense the president may offer for going after a second term is not revealed. except. of course. the usual one of changed conditions, but platforms are not sacred things as have previously been demonstrated. Platform pleuges have been ignored or forgotten with little or no feeling so that it may have been created only to confuse when the democratic party platform upon which the president was elected said: We favor a. single presidential term and to that end urge : the adoption of an amendment to the constitution making the president ei the United States ineligible to reelec- tion, and we pledge the candidate <of this convention to this principle"
 Thus however spoke quite plainly change and so do men. It is quite within memory that an ex-president emphatically and sol- emnIy promised that he would not be a candidate again. The promise amounted to no more thar some platforms, but from that re- pudiated promise undoubtedly sprung the democratic plank. Having played fast and loose with the civil service plank 1t is indicated that as much freedom will be felt in doing the same with the one term promise.

THE MAN WHO TALKS

It is an mplishment to be able to mind your own business. It Is thought to be something of a virtue; and 1t may be a. real bar to progress. You can see that 1t would be fatal to the politician, who being ambitious to mind the business of the public must necessarily ingrattate himself into the business of. many citizens. If people habituafly minded their own business we should not see on so many desks in business offfces-'HThis is my busy day. Men who mind their bus mess do not have interruptions. or venture to interrupt others. Men whose business it is to mind the bus mess of others may be mtnding their business, but they are not included in the class we have in mind. If every- body minded their own business the back fence would never have became notorious as the dumb witness of so many conversations about others. It is meritorious to have a business to mind, for this is what too many per- sons really lack, hence the extravagan number of bores and busybodfes in the events of life. Prize the person who minds his business for he is a treas ure.

Farmers Showing Great Interest In

On last Saturday afternoon,
the Farmers Mutual Fire and

meeting in the Davis Opera
house in this city to take up
routine matters pertaining to the
company's business. A large
gathering was in attendance.
After the meeting had made
headway, it was turned into a
political meeting and Ed. Fisher
delivered a speech in favor of
passing a resolution that all par
ties make the run for office in
the proposed Wibaux county on
a non-partisan ticket. This res
olution was passed and to make
it still stronger, 7. J, Bushell.
Ed. +. Fisher and T. J. Lynch
signed resolution stating that
they would use their best infu-
ence to have the Republicans at
their meeting, pass a like reso-
luton. W. A. Organ, w. H.

ed a similar resolution, being
democrats present, agreeing to
the same proposition at the first

1t was supposed to be kind

that the meeting was not adver-

many of those vitally interested
were not present, and with the
