bolt the convention? No, they
cannot, and they surely will not.
The place to correct or regulate
is in the party. Because it is
reported that some of our pres
ent and would-be officers some
times drink is no excuse for us
to violate our promise. Says
some, there was no obligation.
Well, let us see. What is a pri-
mary for? All we'll know that
each and every one that goes in
to the primary agrees to abide
by the will of the majority. There
are two kinds of contracts in law
and both are binding. e. ex-
pressed and implied. When a
man goes into the primary he
understands the whole of the
contract. The Democratic Com
mittee met and ruled, and the
rules were published. The judges
were instructed that any man
believing in the principles of the
Democratic party, and who would
support its nominees should be
allowed to vote, otherwise they
should not be allowed to vote. 1t
was a plain contract. Now can
we afford to violate our part of
the contract and vote the Social
list ticket just because some find
fault with a few indl yiduals in
the party? 1t would be like a
man leaving his wife and child
rem because he found fault with
one of the children.
Do you think that the Socialist
party is a party of purified saints?
If you do, take up the individual
record of some of its members
and investigate, and you will find
it worse than drinking a little
whiskey or striking a fellow ova
the head. Now let us be honest
and reasonable and not jump at
conclusions. Don't never do
things in haste. or we may have
to repent at leisure. Many times
we hear reports that upon inves-
tigation we find they are quite
different, or not nearly so bad as
first reported. Now, as to the
whiskey drinking. We fear that
if we should kill every man that
takes drink, or would take a
drink of whiskey, there would be
very few left to administer the
law. If we can't afford to vote for
one man because he drinks a lit
tie whiskey, let's not act the
hypocrit, but turn down all alike.
A justice of the peace. school
director, constable or road over
seer is just as important as a
representative, only their sphere
is not 80 large. So then, if we
aim to clean up. let us clean up
the whole thing. We should
make the rule work both ways.
Before we condemn a man for
doing a thing, let's be sure we
are free from doing it ourselves.
We should get our bibles and
turn to where the woman was
taken in adultery and consider
Christ's admonition. Then turn
to where the mote and beam is
spoken of. then examine our
selves. so tar as drinking is con-
cerned. the writer of this oppos-
es drunkenness as much as any
man does, is one of the most
earnest advocates of law and Or

ing temperance. but has set an

whiskey only as a medicine.

Why, bless your life my dear
would-be boilers, have seen the
most uncompromising prohib-
itionists about election time drink
the most whiskey between cleo
tons. (Say, WI. are you aludin'
to editor.) We should new
err howl about honest elections
unless we are strictly honest in
our dealings with our fellow
man. We should never blame an
officer for not executing the law
on the other fellow, then when
our folks or friends violate the
law keep it struggled.
We are aware of the fact that
some have. from long practice,
acquired the habit of
scratching the ticket. Whatever
we may have been in the past,
the ticket we vote at the time is
beyond question the party We
belong to at the time of voting.
The Bible tells US, mo man
can serve two masters" If you
have in the past voted the Repub-
lican ticket and wish to vote for
our nominees, we will thank you
for it. Or if you have sometime
in the past scratched the ticket,
we will take you back now by
recantation, but we Eve fair
warning to all that our primaries
hence forth wiki be straight
laced. The worst enemy a man
can have is the man who pats
you on one shoulder with one
hand then stabs you in the back
with the other. The Democratic
party is not absolutely perfect.
No party is, but we do claim
that it is as free from political
shortcomings as any party, and
has just as good men in it as in
any party. There are none per-
feet. 80 let us lay aside all per-
sonal differences and not allow
our enemy to accomplish our ruin:
and not violate our obligations by
scratching after going into the
primary. Firmness is part Of
my religion, and my word is my
bond.
With friendship for all,

Say, w. j., climb some mount
ain peak where the wind will get
a sweep at you and cool off. Look
across the crags to the peaceful
valleys below. Contemplate the
grandure of nature about you
and the serenity of the blue vault
above you till you get your nerve
back. Don't you know that the
men who are threatening to
scratch the ticket have not voted
for all the nominees since Heck
was a purp. There are not enough
of them to amount to a Wart on

we've been foxy" ever since.
When a boy we pitched camp one
evening in the midst of the great

Scarcity of Army Horses

The army quartermasters who have 70
do with the purchasing of horses for the
military establishment says that there is
a really alarming scarcity of animals.
says the Army and Navy Register. or
course, the war department is more or
less hampered by the fact that Congress
has not appropriated sufficient money to
enable the auartermaster's departmentatc
acquire horses in sufficient number to
supply all the mounted commands. 1t is
hoped that during the coming fiscal year
1t will be possible to make good the short
age in horses caused by the distribution
of troops on the border and elsewhere
and by the increase to war strength of
troops serving abroad. The price paid for
horses Is about the same as Ii has been,
indeed the contracts most recently
awarded are at prices less than they haze
been for two years. With sufficient
funds the army could easily obtatf
enough horses to supply the commands.
of peace strength. If there were al
emergency requiring a larger number cy
horses the war department would han 3,
great difficulty in getting them, even wit1
the reasonable departures from the Off.
cial specifications. This is due, in part.
to the falling off in the product of those
who are raising horses The automobile
has, finally had its influence on animals,
despite the assertion to the contrary. and
this is observable to those who have tie
task of buying horses in quantity.

Then the old man took his bull s-eye

reached the ceI;ar, Il know you love Eliza

The cook house is also the source of
all the steamboat news, and an unesta h.

steamboat men.
The custom is kept up even when the
boat is In port. On tow boats the cook
house is more of an institution than on
the packets, because the men have less to
divert them than on a passenger carrying

A passenger very seldom gets an invi-
tation back to the cook house, and it is
not good form to go unless accompanied
by one of the crew. The steamboat fra
