TO DISCOURAGED. - Don't feel
discouraged if you can avoid it, but
do your best to get along and bear in
mind that you will find, if you SEEK
some good people left in the world
who will help you out the best they
can.
I've been up against it pretty hard,
and am now, though perhaps not as
badly as you. Yet feel sorry if you
are in a worse fix than 1 am. Mine
is not a case of self pity, for 1 have
pity for others as well.
There are things that we know and
some that we only believe. We know
that we poor who are alive are des-
tined to struggle hard for our sup
port, but know nothing of the here
after. That doesn't worry me as
much as what will become Of us here.
Poverty is not always a curse and
riches not always blessing. Life is
worth living if we can believe it is,
although it is very hard to believe
that way when everything seems
working against us. Idon't ask you
to smile, poor brother or sister, if you
don't feel that way, but for heavens
sake chase away the blues-for it's
the worst feeling that can come over
one and indicates no good whatever.
Always think that there is some way
out of every difficulty, for it's boost |
sometimes to think that way.
The poor man deserves better |
treatment than he is getting, and if !
every poor person understood the |
game thoroughly and all would stick |
and work together for their own pre-
else benefits the poor would have |
rank and glory and wealth instead of |
the undeserEing rich.
No doubt you have drunk from the |
cup of misery, and your sorrow may |
be almost too much to bear, but l ask
you, undeceiVingly, to look forward,
forever forward, toward the bright |

CROKER FUNERAL
AT OAKDALE

Sigourney, March 11.-Wednesday
afternoon occurred the funeral OF
Harlan Croker. who died late Mon
day afternoon at Oakdale. Harlan
Croker was just past 20 years Of age
and the only son of the late G. l..
Croker who, at one time, was county
recorder of this county and who died
about fifteen years ago. Harlan grad
uated from the Sigourney high school
about three years ago, after which he
learned the printers trade on the Keo-
kuk County News, working for that
paper until his health failed him about
one year ago.
About ten months ago, on account
of his failing health, he was taken to
Oakdale in the hope of recovering his
health, but all that medical skill could
do for him proved Of no avail and he
passed to the great beyond on Mon
day. He leaves surviving, his moth
er Mrs. May Croker Of this city. to
mourn his early demise. He was a
member of the Methodist church and
a most excellent young man.

pp00E OF HARD TIMES.

In Chicago four men have been IN
dicted for buying votes. Inc lhaict-
ment charges the men with paying
eight voters sums varying from tWen-
ty-five cents to fifty cents for Young
for Sweitzer for mayor at the prllh-
aries. If that is all these men PAID 1or
votes, they ought to be indicted, con-
yicted and sent up for long term.
Whenever the industry of buying votes
petsl down to such a low level as TO pc
: the hands of men who will only pay
two bits for a good Intelligent, Wen
meaning United States vote, 1t IS time
for the authorities to step in and put
the industry under government own
ership. There certainly should De
commission appointed to take charge
Of this matter and see that no such
price cutting monopoly In the vote
buying business IS allowed.
This is a serious matter and lmmed-
,ate investigation should be demanded,
and the Illinois legislature shoulo ap.
noint a commission to take charge Oh
this unheard of price cutting arrange
mont that has just been unearthed IN
tho matter of vote buying in chicago.
In order that expert knowledge OF the
noottar NAV at once be put into thls
work we suggest that the legislature
make Leo ONeill Brown chairman OF
the commission.
The national administration likewise
cannot overlook this instance, because
Il Is absolute proof that hard times do
nrevail. Vote buying and vote selling
in Illinois and Ohio have long been
recognized as big and busy channel
for the transfer of money from one per-
son to another. No further evidence
is needed to show that times are GER
tainly hard when such well known
industry is pushed to the extremity or
depending upon transactions involving
rnly twenty-five cents in money.
The price of votes that has in the
past governed Illinois LEGISLATURES IS
seriously threatened by TINS recent eA'
nosure We have no doubt that this
recent price cutting will have the I'M
mediate attention of the Illinois
solOns.
