THE MAN WHO LOSES HIS VOTE There once lived in these United States—no matter where a man who ever since his majority had voted for the losing Never once had there been a president in whose election he had any part candidates in national elections. Always his vote had counted only negatively in reducing majorities. He had had it.” He was a good citizen, but he got tired of “losing out,” as his neighbor said, and “losing his vote.” So he changed There came a time when a man named Cleveland was run always voted “no” when “the ayes ning against a brilliant statesman named Blaine and our old| would, this of being with the Luck, fate, destiny, whatever vote-loser made up his mind that he just So, purely for the sake once, | “save his vote.” winners, he voted for Blaine. it was that camped on his trail, was against him again and Blaine lost! And before the next election this man died, never having voted for a success ful candidate Now, which vote did he lose? according to his convictions?

They never! 79/7 elected an officer, but they remolded a government, trans formed a constitution and threw the nation into a war from which it emerged a new nation crats and Whigs cast votes so forceful as those deposited by the followers of Lovejoy and Phillips? Lost votes? Not one of them was lost. Did the old Populists lose their votes? Why, they have made both the old parties Populist! The Aldrich-Allison bill today contains the plan for the issue of money on warehouse receipts, essentially as advocated by “Pa” Chase, “Calamity” Weller and “Cyclone” Davis. The Populists never lost a vote, because they voted for what they believed If you are a voter, be a man. Vote as you believe. Pay ne attention to the crowing of the political cocks that each claim to herald victory. What do you care for victory, except as it forwards the political ideals in which you believe? This election means something. Great issues hang upon its event. It may bring in great reforms. But no reform embodied in either platform is half as great as that which would come when men would be ashamed to use that dastard’s expression, “I lost my vote!” The man who says that, loses his vote beforehand. For, when principle struggies with ignorance, he who would save his vote must often lose it.

Even were the pres- ent county commissioners re-elected, they would aot dare to set aside more money for the maintenance of prisoners than was asked by the sheriff and Hodge is pledged to ask for only the actual cost. The charge which is made that Hodge was once a member of the county ring Is without foundation. He has always refused to listen to dicta- tion In political matters and was kept in his position as deputy sheriff at Black Diamond by public sentiment alone That both civil and criminal cases be decided by courts of appeal on their merits and not ow technicalities, is the recommendation of a special committee of the Amertean Bar Association, appointed to con sider the question and report to the next meeting, whieh convenes in Seattle this month. Should this practice be adopted, it would greatly inorease the respect of the public for courts and law.

SCHAEFER. ¢ Yi, if THE LION, JUPITER AND THE ELEPHANT. ‘The Lion bad long been sursing a seeret grief, and one day gave it an exercise gallop for the benefit of his backer, Jupiter. He began gaesing tn this wise: “Ob. Jupe, it is true that I wear the belt In the heavywetght class, that I'm an ace when It comes to Imposing front, and am the big nolse in the jungle. Bat life ts & quince as long an I go to ploces at the crowing of a cock.” At this line of talk Jupiter didn’t hat an eyelash. “It gots you nothing to pan me Ike this,” he thundered. “I've handed you everything of the sort that I've got myself, and tf a hehen can bluff you, re member {t's the only thing that can.” But the Lion was good and sore, anyhow, and wished he woulkin't get cold feet every time he heard a noise like a barnyard. He was still yammertog over it when he met an Elephant. He noticed that the Eiph was making a per- petual palm leaf fan motion with his ears. Asking the answer to this, the Lion was told by the Elephant “Do you see th: nat buzzing around? Well, if he gets in my oar I'm down for the count. It would mean my funeral.” At this the Lion cheered up. “FI business!” he sald “Bring him over and see if he can kill a Dominecker rooster.” Moral: (Yeasthop forgot to supply one.) ae SHE RECOGNIZED HIM AT ES = TE i Confound the dod gasted blank- Who are they trying to get on this line?
