Mir. L. E. HOke, for County
 Treasurer.

Mir. L. E. Hoke, one of Drew county's oldest and best known citizens, has decided to enter the race for County Treasurer, and his announcement appears in to-day's Monticellonian.
 Mir. Hoke is no new man Tn this part of the country, and his record is clean one. For sever al years he served the people of Drew county as, first, Deputy Clerk, and afterwards as County and Circuit Clerk, and in this ca pacity he measured up to the standard of efficiency.
 MT. Hoke has been making Wilmar his home, for the past five or six years, where he has the high esteem and good will of the citizens, as he has of all oth- CTS where he has lived, or who know him we'll. He is thorough ly qualified for the office of Treasurer, and we bespeak for him that consideration which a good man deserves.

The old maxim, "where igno. rance is bliss 1t is folly to be wise" does not always work true. We have, in every Com- munity, some ignoramus who is so self-conceited as to imagine he knows it all; and the folly of such gross ignorance might be arcial and prove innocent of harm, were 1t not for the fact that there are a lot of others who sometimes share in his belief, and thus incompetent men are foisted upon community very much to its detriment, and all hands are made to suffer. In such cases, and they are by no means isolated ones, the ig- noranee of bliss hangs as a heavy load about the necks of the public. It is a case of the blind leading the blind, and il there are pitfalls they are almost certain to be encountered. The bliss of ignorance should be a. yOjded.

It is the imperative duty oi the citizen to carefully study men and measures before cast ing a vote. The prerogative ol suffrage is a most solemn and sacred privilege and one which should never be lightly consider ed. When an array of men pre- sent themselves for preference for a given office the voter should avail himself of every fa- cilitv to learn of the in dividual fitness, and never allow nrmself swayed by popular passions or improvised hobbies. "Is he hon. est. is he capable? is the one great question, and this should be earnestly, intelligently and honestly answered in the afr native before voting for any man.
