Would like to hear from each of you and what subjects you want to talk about. Answer soon. Want to print program in next week's Democrat. THE POLITICAL POT. Bryan has campaigned through Ohio against Gov. Harmon and now Mr. Harmon has started on a tour to defend himself. He says Bryan thought he was all right in 1908 when they campaigned the state together and Bryan stated he would give him a place in his cabinet if he was elected. Roosevelt and Taft are thrash ing this way and that throughout the state in a frantic effort to car ry the state at the coming primar ies. If Taft wins the Ohio vote it will probably cinch the nomination for him and Roosevelt will be knocked out. If Roosevelt should win the Ohio primary it will be all up with Taft. They are very bitter in their denunciations of each other and it wouldn't be sur prising if the party would have to spring a dark horse at Chicago. Champ Clark is still gaining and it looks reasonably certain that he will be the democratic nominee at Baltimore June 25. Underwood seems to have con siderable strength and Gov. Har- moa is not entirely out of the race yet , as the convention will show if Clark fails to get enough to make a two thirds majority. There is some talk of a Bryan stampede again , but that hardly seems probable. There are enough delegates bitter against him be cause of his campaigning methods this spring to keep him out. STUDY THE RECORD. The tendency of congress under republican control has been to spend vast sums of money annual ly upon shipping and coast har bors , dredging rivers and digging canals for private monopolies , but never yet has anything been done by congress for public roads. Why has congress forgotten the roads its members have traveled upon daily to plunge into the sea thousands of dollars ? The answer is plain : Extreme partisanship and filial devotion to party has blinded the followers of a party until they know nothing but the name and to whoop it up at any cost for their favorite candidate. Glad to note there ' are some signs of a change along this line and that a few thinking men are doing some thinking. But there is still a vast multitude who will continue to think their side is all right and that it is the other fellows wl.o ought to change and vote their way. Voters should study the f record a party has made and upon what kind of a platform. Then study the platform each year and ask themselves conscientiously : ' "Should I favor and vote for ? " I THE FLEGE CASE. William Plcge , who was con victed two years ago of murdering his sister , Louise , and sentenced to life imprisonment , secured a new trial and was convicted this time of manslaughter , which ear- ries a penalty of from one to ten years , lie is a wealthy farmer , and _ his. . attorneys . are . goingto t * - H .W * * * * * * < * make another appeal for him , Ifoping to get him free. William Flege was either guilty - T "f - - t 1' ' ' < p - K " - v > ; Vt * j , % H ff ' . . ; .v . _ . ' or innocent of murdering his sis ter , - in Thurston county , near Fender , three years ago this com ing June. He either killed her or did not , and should be sentenced accordingly. The evidence seems to show that he was guilty and the next trial ought to be a short one. There are too many murderers go ing free. For instance , Morley , and numerous others caught in the act. But so many confounded goody people who boast they don't believe in capital punishment. And so many others who vvouldn't convict a man on circumstantial evidence , and so many others who wouldn't have penetentiaries at all just simply eating houses for criminals , elaborately furnished and provided with tobaccos , opiums , cocaines , and these ad mitted , they'd have beer , wines and cigars and entertain occasion ally. Now the above three classes are working hand in hand , though the first two will shudder at the thought and deprecate the expose. INSANE MURDERERS. Clarence V. T. Richeson , the murderer of Avis Linnell , his pretended sweetheart , is having a big effort made in his behalf by the people of Massachusetts to keep from hanging to pay the penalty. Of late the papers are full of murder cases being tried and re tried and then application for par don and clemency and murderers going free on the charge of mur der because the murderer was be lieved to have been insane at the time he committed the murder and therefore was not guilty of mur der. Would you kill a mad dog for biting and killing a child ? The fact a man is insane is the more reason for hanging him for murder. They're trying to get Harry Thaw out of the Mattewan asylum. If he'd have been a poor friendless brute he'd have been hung , or if Stanford White had been a poor friendless brute Thaw would probably never have had to throw a brain storm trt work him self up to a pitch to kill and like ly never even went to jail. Our laws should be enforced if people are in favor of laws. The majority should rule , but treat them all with the same considera tion , and instead of lawyers dis torting facts , they should keep facts from being distorted. Show This to Your Republican Friend. ( By Clyde Travenner. ) "We favor federal aid to state and local authorities in the con struction and maintenance of post roads. " This was a democratic pre election promise adopted by the national democratic party at the Denver convention in 190S. This pre-election promise , along with nearly every other one made by the democrats on the stump in the last campaign , has been full- filled. The democratic house of representatives has just passed the Shackleford amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill pro- vidirg for an expenditure of from ten to eighteen million dollars annually for the construction and improvement of the nation's roads. The principle on which it is proposed to spend this money is based on compensation to be paid by the federal government for the use of roads traversed by carriers in the rural free delivery service , and is'divided into three classes , as follows : Class "A" The highest form of improved road in the country , for which it is proposed to pay § 25 per mile per year. Class "B'5 A thoroughfare of high quality , but not equal to class "A , " for which it is pro posed to pay § 20 per year per mile. Class "C' ' The ordinary dirt road of the country , somewhat improved , for which it is proposed to pay § 15 per mile per year. Sentiment.in favor of .road im- * * t proveraent with money 'now being wasted for fake commissions like the Canadian boundary commis sion which exists solely to pro vide soft berths 'for lame duck politicians like Tawney of Minnesota seta is growing rapidly through out the country. For many years , too the people who live in the farming communities , and in the smaller cities and towns , have felt that too much of the public money was being spent in the large cities. In the last ten years fully 90 per cent of the public revenue has been spent in the cities , notwith-1 standing the fact the" people of the country have furnished more than half of all the money collected by the government. Neither the states nor the na tional government will be the loser by generous expenditure for pub- li ° road construction , for the mon ey will ultimately come back through the increase in the taxable value of farm lands. Nor is that the only way it will come back. Whatever makes for the agricul tural development , of the country also aids other industries in the land. All classes rely open good crops , and the transportaion of same at economical cost , for pros- parity. A NEW CREED. Senator Williams is responsible for a new creed , which he read in the senate the other day , asserting it is the creed of Ri.osevelt. It is a parody on the Apostles creed as follows : 5'I believe in Theodore Roosevelt velt , maker of noise and strife , and in ambition , his only creed ( My Lord ) , lie was born of the love of power and sugered under William H. Taft ; was crucified , dead and buried. He descended into Africa. The third year he rose again from the jungle and ascended into favor and sitteth on the right hand of his party whence he shall come to scourge the licked and the dead. "I believe in the holy Outlook , the big stick , the Annanias , the forgiveness of political activeness , the resurrection of presidential ambitions and the third term ever lastingly , amen , amen , amen. " The Only "Dolly" Type Machine Made That has absolutely no operating mechanism attached to the sides or top of the machine. Equipped with specially design ed reversible wringer , which is j operated by the same motor that operates the machine , and enables the washing and wringing to be done at the same time. The motor , together with all operating mechanism , is mounted on a metel frame underneath the body of the machine , out of the way of the operator. This metal frame is rigidly attached to the legs and insures perfect alignment of the gearing and reduces the amount of power required to oper ate the machine to a minimum. Only one Lever to Operate The machine and reversible wringer under positive control of the operator. The wringer may be operated at the same time or remain stationary while thd ma chine is washing the clothes. The only Dolly type machine fitted with special 1-inch drain faucet at the bottom for drawing off the waste or making permanent con nection with the waste drain if de sired. 15 days' free trial to convince you of the merits of this machine.
