It finds that after seven years fully 90 per cent of the people who received the mcney had either lost or Spent the entire amount received. It has also found that 88 Per cent of men over 65 years of age in this country are dependent, either upon their children for support, or upon publie enarity. And this is a country where men are better paid for their work than in any other country in the world. Poverty isn’t criminal. That’s true. But it's worse. It’s disreputable. You can avoid poverty if you want to do so—but you have to practice some Self-denial and cut out wasteful expenditures. It's up to you! Keep your money in the First National Bank.

THE BIGHT TO FEEL PROUD

Do you know If I WP re an Adams county democrat Id be so proud that THE TOWN simply WOULD NOT HOLD MF. Why, it is ‘ he most remarkable thing, the record of Adams county de--mocracy.

FJ

Nothing else in the state like it. Listen: Adams county HAS NEVER HAD A republican official IN IT. HISTORY—It’s the banner county of the state. I fairly held my breath while 1 listened to the history of this greatest of all democratic counties, it seemed like a fairy tale. And then again 1 began to speculate on what a sterling democracy the county must have—l formed a mental picture of the type of men who live in that county, strong, sturdy, dependable, not given to fads nor easily changed by the stray winds of fancy. But true to an ideal and ready to fight for their honest convictions to the last ditch. Well, I repeated this estimate that I had formed of the character of the) citizenry of Adams county to a man who was born and bred up there and he told me that — "I had guessed right the very first, time.” As a matter of fact I soon learned that the county has a certain fame of its own—is pointed out with pride all over the state as having the distinction of a simon pure Democracy not equaled by any other section. But what a splendid thing it must be to have a record like that—l can imagine ail those Democrats up there polishing it up—the record— and cherishing it tenderly, oh, so yiAnd I’ll wager that not a single one of ’em would allow the slightest little tarnish on it —I should say not. I can see, in my minds eye, the hurrying about, the rubbing and scrubbing, whenever a tiny spot appears. And I know exactly how they line up on election day—every man among ’em a special guard of one for the honor of the county that has never had any officials but democrats since the day it became a county. Os course a class of men who are so steadfast in their political convictions would be equally dependable in the affairs of business. So it follows naturally, that the citizenship of the county ranks high.

I did feel, however, as if i WWJ I like to congratulate thus. Demqrai up there. I think that I uiiderstn., better than most people. For I figure it out this way. j( t own father was born in a foreign law and coming to this country in manhood, was deeply impressed wi- I our American institutions, and t a , ( great pains to study our system o( ! government and tv look into our » cial conditions. Americans up to the present hatnot given so much attention to w 'cial and economic questions as it some of the European countries where they have been studying thes. problems for hundreds of years.. Sc |it was natural for my father to look deeply into the political parties of ha day. study the underlying motim [that governed their public declan tions of principles and make his choice. He selected the party to which hs adhered all his life for its principles, not because he had Inherited Democratic traditions. Such I take it was the condition when those sturdy foreign ancestors of the present generation settled it Adams county—they chose their party as a matter of principle, not political expediency —and they have stuck u it on principle, pure and simple Because they believed it to be right and because they never allowed person! considerations nor selsh interest a blind their true judgment. Now I think it is a mighty fine thin: to live up to an ideal like that—like Adams county has lived up to its Ideal.
