Senator Durkett Begin hit Cam
palgn.
Senator Bnrkett begnn his speech
making tour last week, speaking at
Modern Woodmen picnio in Foutunelle
the 14th.
The Senator cave utterances to the
doctrine that Rood men were more de
tirable and necessary than smnrt men
and that the bost and biggest things
that bad been done were not done by
the men of the time. He referred to
the great lotanists whose names had
coin a down to us as the smartest men
of their class, but none of them took
the seed out of the orange. He
spoke of the flying machine, nud told
how all the wise meu of the ages
school teachers and aeiorjtints, hud
scoffed at Dan us Green when two men
unknown to scholastic fame, just com
mou boys, oame out of Ohio and upset
the smart men of all the ages with
"heavier than air " flying machine.
"Abraham Lincoln was not looked
npoo as a great statesman before he
became President, and the smart men
admitted it," said the Senator, "Some
of them wero in great distress of mind
because the great responsibilities of
his high offce and the dentinies of the
llepublio should be placed in so ignor
ant hands. B it Lincoln had ideals of
eternal justice, he walked and talked
with God, and communed with the
Brest masses of the people; and
greatest things come not from
smartest men bnt the best men.
"The good legislation that we
from our Congress and from onr state
legislature does not originate usually
with the wise men, but cornea from the
Toms and Dicks and Johns and Bills,
just ordinary men as fame goes over
the conntry. It 1b the gieat heart
tbrob of the people and not the brain
machination of great men that brings
great reforms. It is necessary there
fore to have tbe peoples' hearts right,
their ideals must be high, their pur
pose must be noble, their visions must
be clear and their motives pure, their
souls must not be congested with sel
fishness and greed, their outlook must
not be clouded with disappointment
and despair and disloyalty. We talk
about getting better i en in pnblio life,
but first we must have good men in
private life. Barring accidents of our
election system men in ofllce reflect
the character of the constituency that
elect them. If we would relieve our
selves of the rascals in office we must
weed out tho notions in private life
that publio ofllce is a private snap.
The man who will blackmail a man iu
publio life either for financial purposes
or because ho did not get an appoint
ment should be scorned just as would
the man who would graft the publio
in oflice. A man who will pettifog
with facts and mislead the people or
who Will pretend to be what he is not
to get into ofllce will be dishouest after
he is elected . The people ought not
to tolerate dirty practices by candi
dates for office if they do not expect to
endorse the same kind of methods af
ter Htich persons have been elected,
"These great fraternal orders are
doing a magnificent work iu civio
righteousness. They are elevating the
standards of men and deserve to be
classed along with the churches and
the schools. They are helpiug to weed
out tho vagabonds and disreputable
meu in our social and industrial life.
The Modern Woodmen of America has
become the most stupendous thing of
its kind in all the world. It com
mands our attention because of its im
mensity, but it commands our esteem
because of the good it is doing for soci
ety. It is helping and saviug aud
elovating men, for it teaches the liigher
ideuls and nobler purposes of life."

rested Tuesday night for assauting his
son-in-law, Lufe Lane, sat in the spec
tators' bench and moaned for fully two
hours. She was trying to effect a con

eral minutos before Judgo Sims begun

trailed after her, and the two were
seated ou one of the benches, Nlie

said Lafe, "if it is possible." Later
however, the si;n in-law became less
positive about his stand in the matter
and said ho did not know what he
would do. When County Attorney

fight in. which ho had been injured,
Lane said he was intoxicated when the

promptly answered, and asked for a
a continuance of his case until Thurs

the case will come up this morning.
Swartz's bond was fixed at $1,000.
He is charged with intent to do great
bodily harm through assault.
