FATHER AND SON.

Never neglect him.
Though young. still respect him,
Hear his opinions
With patience and pride.
Show him his error,
But be not a terror,
Grim visaged and fearful,
When he's at your side.
Know what his thoughts are,
Know what his sports are,
Know all his playmates,
It's easy to learn, too.
BE such father
That when troubles gather
You'll be the frst one
For counsel, he'll turn to.
l. = :.
You can inspire him
With courage and fire him
Hot with ambition
For deeds that are good.
He'll not betray you
Nor lilly repay you,
If you have taught h1m
The things that you should
Father and son
Must in all things be one
Partners in trouble
And comrades in joy.

If August, tisy year, there appeared in the local Casper this
advertisement in display type:
T the Democratic Citizens: Have you voted? Polls are open

Natrona county is the key to Democratic success this fall. Your
vote for Rose nay insure Democratic success
Are you interested in u prosperity? Rose or Senator Committee"

large Casper vote he would defeat his opponents for the senatorial nom

BRYAN BROTHERS OR A oooLIpGE?

h leading Democratic papers agree on things-that in h
present situation Coolidge is leading and LaFoHette is second. and that
LaFonette la carry enough states o prevent an election and throw the
contest into congress-. There is n o n who believes that Davis has a
chance of winning a majority of the electoral votes.
That being true, the outcome narrows down to Coolidge and BRYAN
for. if Coolidge fails to win in November, there will be a deadlock and
no election in the House, and the contest will then g to the senate fol-
the election of a ce-president. The LaFolete forces n radical Dem
ocrats would unite in the election of Bryan. Not by any arrangement
would the LaFonette forces and the Democrats in the House mite upon
Davis for president
This is a contest, therefore, between Coolidge and BRYAN Those
who do not want Bryan should vote for Coolidge.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Some
folks have freak ideas Of light
literature; Senator James Cou-
zens Of Michigan, for instance.
Couzens was recently operated
on at Johns Hopkins Hospital at
Baltimore. While preparing for
the operation the doctors told
him to take things easy for
while. The nurses might read
some to him, he was told, If time
got too heavy for him-light liter
allure Of some sort.
Whereupon Jim sent for back
numbers Of the Congressional
Record and kept the nurses read
ing Senate debates to him each
evening until 10 o'clock.
And now he wonders whether
the doctors were kidding him
when they said they were sur
prised it didn't make him worse.
The Record does make some
folks sick, you know!
