judge C0MSTOCK CALLS FOR CITIZENS
TO show PRIDE IN THEIR REPUBLIC

I troll. While all are not permitted the
right of suffrage, yet in many ways
their power may be felt. The press
and the platform afford to those who
may not in all the states under the
present system express their views on
public affairs through the ballot, OPP
portunities of combating political or
socitl error as it appears to them,
often as potent as the right of suf-
frage. 1t is scarcely possible for one
who has not lived under some form
Of monarchy and has not felt the AFRO
sance Of arbitrary power fully to ap-
preciate the manifold privileges of a
free government
ereignty which constitutes the state.
The right to exercise it should be to
him more precious than is his peroga-
tive to a king No power is above
the people because the laws and con-
stitution are all Of their making The
serious character of the obligations Of
citizenship has been the test since the
formation Of our government of who
either praised or criticised its form
We can not close our eyes to our duty,
however old the subject; nor can we
escape the responsibility or burdens
of bad government by refusing or fail
ing to take part in the selection of
those who are to make or administer
our laws. Believing in the rule of the
majority and recognizing the neces-
sity Of parties, an alliance with any
one of them should be the result of
intelligent thought and not OF, passion
and prejudice.
Right Of Suffragists.
The right of suffrage is too sacred
to be unemployed, or to be lightly eX-
ercised. The citizens of this Republic
who dwells so far apart from his fell
lows as not to feel called upon to vote
upon QXuestions affecting the political
or social or property rights of the peo-
pie is not in harmony with his envir-
cnments. He who prostitutes this sa-
cred privilege and votes only to pro-
mote personal ends, is unworthy the
protection our liberal laws afford
him. Each one, Of course, must de-
eide for himself how he may dis
charge his duty, but as we recognize
the necessity of opposing political
parties, and as each must have can
didates representing the principles adj
vocated by its members, it is obvious
that the first duty of the voter is to
take part in the selection Of candi-
dates, and in choosing between appli-
cants for public favor. no better test
can be applied than that formulated
by JefferSOn-"IS he honest? Is he
We must remember that public Of
ficers are fair index of their constit-
uents-a candidate is very apt to be

directly appeal to his own interest, of

United States, Even tile opposition

IS that the Republicans raise to the
present prosperity are, irst, that only
republican administrations are sup.
posed to create prosperity; second
that prosperity is not attribL table b

third, that while the country is ad.
mittedly prosperous, it will not last.

perlty say, ''and when the war is oyeI
1t will go flooey."
What are the factsY
The Official figures OF the Depart.

country's so-called "war business
does not exceed five percent OF it's to.

tons over tile business booked at the
end of March. The phenomenal show

merely tile prosperity of the company
itself and the steady employ yment OF
thousands of men engaged In the
steel plants, but alsn tells the story
OF new bridges being built, new rails
being laid, and new steel buildings
constructed in various parts Of the
country. In all sections there has
been an increase in building opera.

Of the steel corporation.
In the perold OF nine months the
trade Of the United States with

the nine months period increased

was due largely to the supplanting OF

through the better understanding

The commission made no reference
to the complaint about the telephone

effect a physical connection between

All the same, the railroad service
is not what Salmon is entitled to

service. Just what remedy to apply
as to the dual telephone nuisance has
not yet been determined upon by the

them, being underneath. When dis
covreed by a neighbor it was thought
a serious accident had befallen the
wayfarers, and so DR.. Hammer was
called. Sheriff Stroud heard OF tue
happening at the same time and ac-
companied the physician in answer
