HELLER, Chairman. Tlie new primary law is being worked out and those who wish to do ,:o are finding a number of points about it that reserve favorable comment | rather than the objections that have I been so numerous. Maybe you will like it yet. They’re off in a bunch. With the meeting of the democratic committee today, the primary campaign opened and wWI continue until election day, March 7th.

mary and it was the unanimous opinion that every man who claims to be a democrat should be permitted to cast his ballot at the primary. We want their votes next November and they should have the right to assist in selecting the ticket. Le's join this year in putting up an old-fashioned majority and the way to do it is to work together. Help select the right ticket and then work for the ticket. Some people are born pessimist*. The scream with which they open up on a doctor and, the nurse at birth sticks to them throughout life. They don’t think it essential to look for the bright side of a proposition but are in their element on the dark side. They are gloom-makers. Whenever ft’s necessary to inject a bit of sunshine into a sad existence — to open the window — they hurdle along with soqie such statement as, “Well, what can you expect; that’s always the case. Life is just one blame thing after another and we’re better off dead.” There is no excuse for gloom-making. Those who follow that plan are excess baggage. It may be a lie that every black cloud has a silver lining; but let’s lie about it to ousselves and get a bit of satisfaction out of life. The truth at the wrong time may be the worst thing on earth. Come in out of the gloom. There is light, cheer and gladness to be had on the inside. And besides, it’s just as cheap.—Laporte Herald. DOINGS IN SOCIETY J wm J muttat WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Friday.
