CAN YOU BEAT IT?:Here is the line of republican “argument” as it has progressed during the campaign: "Wilson should send the troops to protect our border from raids by the Mexicans.” , “It was an outrage sot Wilson to send the troops to the border in hot weather.” "Wilson can not stop the railroad strike and we will be plunged into the most disastrous civil war any country has ever seen.” "Wilson should not have stopped ' the strike, he should have let it come _ and let the industrial question be j fought out by force against force.” “Why doesn't Wilson-and the democrats do something to force England and the allies to stop interfering with 1 our mails and commerce, it is an outrage that we are so helpless.” “Congress was wrong and reckless “ in passing a law giving Wilson power r to force England and the allies to < stop interfering with out mails and s commerce. Wilson favored the pas- t sage of this law’. He will not I rise the power and intelligently and 1 will plunge us into war.” Can you beat it? • """ Albert Vestal the republican candi- < date for congress in this district is I trying to convince the intelligent vot- f ers of Adams county that until the t war came the balance of trade in this t country had gone to smash and yet the statistics show tljat the exports each year since 1912 has exceeded 1 the imports nearly a half billion dol- * lars. In 1813 the excess of exports 1 was $652,875,915, in 1914 it was $470,- 1 653,491 and in 1915 it was over a billion dollars. Mr. Vestal is telling the voters that as soon as the Under- £ wood bill became a law our balance 5 of trade began going to the dogs and c continued until the war broke out, 1 which is either a mis-statement or an exhibition of ignorance on the part of the want-to-be congressman. Mr. Wilson went into office in March 1913 and the Underwood law was passed during the congress which adjourned in October 1914. The war broke August Ist, 1914 before the Underwood law could have had much chance but even at that the revenue therefrom was sufficient during the first year. The second year the “war tax” was necessary because the im- ’

I ports fell off. If Mr. Vestal will looki! —— li up statistics he will find the govern-1; ment and the country in a rather pros- j porous condition, wo should say. Candidate Hughes will be here this afternoon and will s]teak from tin’ rear of his special train. While every one knows about what lie will say, having read his criticisms elsewhere over the country, he will nevertheless draw a large crowd it is expected. Tlie republicans while admitting that the democrats polled forty per cent of the progressive votes in the New York p-imaries, profess to gather from that fact great comfort. Well they are certainly easily cheered. Keep o*. whistling boys. # If some one don’t stop Candidate Hughes in his tirades against the laboring man’s eight-hour law, it will take an extra force of men to count the Wilson votes in November. ; Register October 9th.

j RELIANCE ONLY ON MEMORY Zulus, Having No Written Language, i Have Bren Compelled to Cultivate | 5 That Quality. It is said that the memory in savage i 1 or uncultivated peoples is often trained | so a degree very surprising to those I civilized men and women who have grown used to depending upon the written much more than on the re- | membered word. The transmission of ; i whole epics, like the “Hind,” by word of mouth no longer seems so incredible when one reads of the feats of memory of which present-day Zulus fore capable. These people have no writing, and are accustomed to transmit messages and record events by memory alone. This they can \lo because their mental impressions are mndq especially distinct by reason of their acquired or inherited habit of giving undivided attention to the subject in hand. Communications between the British authorities and the Zulu kings are almost invariably conducted by means of oral messages curried by natives. A certain ultimatum addressed by the British to Cetywayo was conveyed to him, not upon paper but in the brain cells of the messengers whom he had sent «u miles to receive it from the British commissioners. Although the document contained some 4,000 words, and was accompanied by some comment-bu the state of thingy it was desired to remedy, the whole was repeated to Cetywayo with perfect accuracy. LITERATURE NOW A BUSINESS' Days When It Was Considered an Art Seem to Have Completely Passed. ; An editor rend at the New York i Authors’ club a letter that had come ; in that morning with a story. I *Oh, yes,” he said, “we get lots of such letters. Literature becomes more and more a business, and less and less an art, every day. “ ‘Dear sir,' the letter said, ‘please let me know by return why? you kept my story so long and then returned it , all fingermarked up? I try you on another story herewith, which I expect to have better luck. Please don’t take me for a faker, but an honest, young hustler, who is trying to fight the bat--1 tie of life. If you accept the story pay • me a reasonable sum down, say, S3O. and the rejnainder year's royalty and bonus. Then you can announce in all the literary news columns all over the country, for I will stand by you in toto, that you paid me SI,OOO for the story, which Is the best of the year. They will take this as a news item. I will keep the real figure strictly secret and you will do the same. Have a short history of my life wrote up, with photo, and under photo the words. “The handsome young author who received SI,OOO for a few strokes of his pen.” ’ ” Take Only the Best. “The best is none too good for me.” Keep that thought in mind until the habit of claiming the best has become fixed. Some people have the idea that cheap, sensational stories are good • enough for them, and so they fill their minds with trash, while in the nearest libraries the volumes of the world's choicest literature gather dust. They Say that ragtime is good enough for ’ them and cheapen their taste by listening to the swing of some catchy ■ composition, when good music is to be had for the same price. In effect they • say that second-rate people are good I enough for them, and they associate > with the coarse and unprincipled, pass- , mg by those with clean lives and lofty . aspirations. - Only the best is good enough for , you. That does not include bigl houses and blazing diamonds, but it I does cover the finer, sweeter things of ’ existence. And the sad part is that ’ many who are satisfying themselves • with the husks, are tramping underE foot the sweet, nutritious grain. Where There’s a Will. First Friend —You know’ Jenkins, don’t you? He’s certainly left all the other optimists away behind now! • Second Friend —How’ so? First Friend —Well, he tried to give s the cheerful feeling to “Silver Threads 1 Among the Gold” by making it over - into something emphasizing the fact . of there still being Golden Threads [ Among the Silver. Second Friend —Yes? First Friend —And the editors all turned him down for it on account of the vice-versa form knocking the . meter endways. Second Friend—Yes? First Friend —Well, what did he do but write under the title “Vers Libre.” 1 and get a large check by return mail. Eat More Vegetables. I Tomatoes are so beneficial in their 3 effect on the liver that they have been aptly styled the “vegetable calomel.” Celery is an excellent nerve 1 tonic and is good for people suffering ? from rheumatism. Watercress is credJ ited with having tonic properties. We i, have always known that parsnips and i- carrots are good for the complexion. 3 The reason for this is that both vege» • tables contain arsenic, which has an f almost magical effect on the skin. • Onions are supposed to be without an [' equal as a nerve tonic, blood purifier , and general cleanser of the system, i Lettuce is conducive to sleep because it contains opium. Parsley is excellent for the stomach find aids dlgesc tloa.
