THE BEsr-LovEp MEN.


1t isn't all In getting rich, 1t isn't all in
winning fame,
A bigger thing than victory Is how you've
tried to play the game;
Success is keeping faith with men and
standing true to what Is best,
And finding Joy in humble things and be-

The good man need not come to wealth
nor need he rise to world renown,
Not often is the richest man the bestowed
citizen in town;
You'll find he walks in humble ways and
modest Is the garb be wears.
And on mis- back from day to day life piles
a multitude Of cares.
His glory is a generous heart, a voice that
carries hope and cheer,
A willingness to do his worS, wish to be
of service here;
He asks no favored place from life, nor
shirks the hardships in his way,
But meets all men with head erect and
plays the friend from day to day.
The best loved man in any town is honest,
manly, brave and true,
Sharing ais life with all who live, doing
what works he finds to do:
He may not climb the heights Of fame nor
come TO treasures golen fee
But he is still accounted great in all God

Tom Taggart, of French Lick, Ind,
predicts a Democratic comeback In
1924. The prediction can be based on
nothing else than that the Republican
president and congress will not do
what they were elected to do. The
result of the 1924 election is in the
hands OF the present administration.
The success of the new administration
will not be measured by the mere lit
era1 attempt to live UP to certain plat
form pledges, for these are but the
formulate to do service before an i'm
questionable electorate. Phrases may
be high-sounding, and they are sus-
ceptible of varying construction, but
policies are Judged by results. The
people expect the evils that have
grown up in the past six years to be
remedied and they will not be particu-
lar regarding the method to be pur-
sued. They are not calling for a
Democrat policy or a Republican pol
icy, but for a policy which will bring
relief from unjust burdens and estab-
lish prosperity for the entire nation.
II these things be given them, Mr..
Taggart will wait at least another four
years for his party's comeback.
