EVANS AND MITCHELL.
URGES LE|N|sTOWN PEOPLE TO ACT

William j. Bryan prefaced both his
addresses at the Judith theatre and
at the Presbyterian church with a
glowing tribute to the democratic can
didates for congress. In speaking of
Senator Myers, he said in his position

ice to the president in promoting con
servation legislation; that he had been
loyal to the trust imposed BY the peo-
pie OF the state of Montana nasmuch
as he had diligently worked for the
states best interests, continuously. He
commended the democrats upon their
selection OF men of the caliber Of Sen.
ator Myers, Congressman John NJ.
Evans, and Harry b. Mitchell as their
candidates, and urged the people to
send these men to congress to uphold
the hands OF the president.

AS an evidence of what pluck,
perseverance and energy will &C.
complish, the case Of Governor
Ferguson, Of Texas, is cited. 1t
is said that in 1883 the Texas
Chief Executive was bell boy
in Denver, Colorado Hotel
and later waiter in a Denver
restaurant. But the Texas Gov
ernor was made of the stuff
which it takes to constitute a big
man and consequently he could
not be held in obscurity. He
was ambitious and intelligent and
by his own personal efforts, with
no one to assist him, has climbed
the ladder of life until he has
reached the topmost rung. From
bell boy to Governor, is indeed
a great ascent for any man to
make, but any boy can do the
same thing, who is made of the
right kind of material. The
Texas Governor is a shining ex-
ample, whose career it would be
well for every ambitious boy to
emulate.-La. Democrat.

A BOYS INVESTMENT.

Last spring year ago." says
Farm and Preside, ten-yeal
old neighbor boy was given ter
cents by his grandmother. He
purchased seed with his money
and grew a nice patch of cucum.
bers for the local village market.
His crOns Of cucumbers brought
him little over So in money, all
OF which his mother allowed him
to keep and spend as he pleased
with $l.O0 Of the money this
boy purchased an eve lamb. BY
the spring the eve lamb has
grown into mature mother
sheep, and gave birth to twin
lambs. So now the boy has three
sheep from his investment. The
mother sheep is now worth $40
and the lambs are worth 50 each,
making a total value of 500 he
has earned with his 10 cents in a
wear and half. In addition he
sold the wool this spring from the
mother sheep for $3.50, which he
has just placed in the savings
bank as the beginning of bank
account of his own. Ga. Dem

PLUMBER AND POLITICS.

There is no question in the
mind of those familiar with the
facts that through political chi
canery the Government, that is
the people who pay the taxes, Is
annually robbed by corporations
which are as guilty of stealing as
the highWayman and the burglar
Congressman Quin, of Missis-
sippi, dared to assert in Congress,
recently, that the rifles manufac-
tured by the Government cost it
SIC; that those bought from priv
ate factories cost it $27-identi-
cally the same gun. He con
tinued:
This machine gun which YOU
have read about. that weighs 81
pounds. cost 1920, purchased
from private factories. AS to the
little tripod and the pack that
goes on the mules back, great
statesmen on that committee in
curing about it discovered that a
tripod that Sears & Roebuck, of
the gentlemen s own town, would
for about 30 cents, is sup
piled by this gun manufacturer
at $500, and that the little pack
that goes on the mule S back costs
the Government $500 at the
hands of private factory. Any
man who ever used a shotgun, and
who is a judge of arms, knows
that the machine gun, weighing
81 pounds, and a little tripod or
pair of tongs to hold it up, is
worth about $50, but, manufac-
;ured by these people and sold to !
1ncle Sam, it costs the taxpayers
If this Republic 5000!
When we know that every year
or decade we have spent upon
'nr navy many more millions
han any other nation save Great
Britain, it is plainly evident that
% small part Of these millions
ave gone into the treasures of
'rivate corporations whose prop
ganda just now in behalf Of pre-
and larger patrio-
ism" is too transparent to be
