Considering the high slate of
political tension fourteen months
ahead of the presidential elec
tion, a person of decided political
views will possess but few speak
ing ucipiaintauces by November
1, D.M2.
Politics will not rut much
figure in the elect ion in Cass
county this fall, if we are lo
judge from the way the farmers
are talking. They propose lo
vote for those whom they think
are the best fitted for the no si
lion, and no one can blame them
for thus looking out for their own
interests.
:o:
Let us cultivate a public spirit
and talk less and work more.
F.ncoiirage our local authorities in
making improvements. Speak up,
speak well, talk encouragingly of
our town and its bright prospects.
It is the.se many little considera
tions that makes a town grow.
Nature lias showered upon us her
choicest blessings and with
perfect unity and effort for the
good of our common cause, great
will be the result.
It is all right, to talk now about
prospective candidates next year,
but we want to remind these fel
lows who are talked about that
vvln-n the lime arrives there won't
he one of them that will stand a
ghost of a show for the nomina
tion. Talk is cheap this year, but
next year the democrats will be
in the field with men who are able,
men who have worked in the har
ness when needed and men whom
the democrats will place on the
ticket because they are deserving
and have nol been constant blood
suckers upon the party.

Probably it never would occur
lo anyone except an American to
compare the present F'rench-Oer-
man-Moroccan tangle to a poker
game, but all the same it has its
points of similarity. From the
outside it looks like a game in
which a good deal of bluffing is
being done. Things were running
along smoothly enough in the lit
tle game of dividing Northern
Africa, with England and France

when that irrepressible man, the
kaiser, took an active hand in the
game by sending a German war
ship to a Moroccan port and prac

They have had an opportunity to

The office of county treasurer is a

competency should relgu. There
