Toner is making some progress in his race for the republican nomination for the governorship. It's a difficult thing for those who said so many mean things about him when he was. progressive to now declare him alright and regular, but they are trying their best and that’s all you can expect. ft ft ft ft It makes us tired to read the advantages of being jioor especially when the article is written by a fellow who has millions of dollars and whose only worry is to fix it so his heirs can’t spent it. ft ft ft ft Harry K. Thaw is free. His penalty for murdering Stanford White on a New Yt»rk roof garden eighteen years ago has l>een a tvrm in an insane asylum for the incurable insane. If the evidence ami the account of his actions in the court room this week can be relied upon, ne is crazier now than he was when be was :-en to the asylum to avoid the electric chair or life in prison. He is worth six million dollars and that’s the answer. If he had been a poor| devil he would have never got to the insane ward and the freeing of him now will not help to restore faith in government to the masses. • ft * ft Democrats in Adams county owe their vote in the coming primary to Dale J. Critti'nliergcr who for forty yotrs has served them well. He has been a committeeman during most of those years, has erved as district chairman, made a splendid reeor das state auditor, has alwys taken his coat off for the other fellow when he was deserving, is tried and true ami capable. That ought to solve the question in your mind as to whom you should vote for. He is for home rule, lower taxes and the redaction of expenses to ma’ e that iiossible. If that’s whiit you favor, Crittenl.ergcr is y< t • candidate. ft ft ft ft The Ada~ County Witness contends that the lull in business apparent ovt r the country at this time is due to the fact that the democrats in congress prevented the passage of the bill to reduce taxes. That’s a thin argument. The republicans hs»c a miijority i nthc house and the senate. They could paas any bill they! coual agree upon. The trouble is that about half the mtsn'ierr of the republican jairty do not agree w ith Mellon’s plan to relieve the rich and rnerra* • the burdens on the poor. The responsibility i i their’s and they ' ill not be able to pass the buck as has beer their cm tom for yftirs. In tile past several campaigns they | charg'd every thing to Wilton. Now that they have ah admini tration dated by a large majority they have the nerve to say I the 1 suit of a ‘■do-nothing" congn ss Ixdongs to the democrats. I It won’t go down with thr voters. • • * * The primary law has many qqrar features and the election' commissioiiera here have one right now that ptgpdea them. The law provi(|ca that candidate* for d' lcgates to the state coavi nlioo may withdraw and names la* -übstitulod up to April 30th and then the same law*provides that liallots for (he, absent voters mu-1 be. ready' this work. How to meet l»>th of these requiretnnli is! enough to make any one figure a little. The state election contmia- ; ionrs have ordered that the local l*ard provide the absent voter tailots and print the rest of the republican candidates for delegate* and th*- mix-up in the printing of the ballots comes as a result of withdrawals and the proposed filing of substitutes on thut ticket. The democrat ballots have l»cen printed und arc now ready for d’*t-i’*utinn. The primary law al Irast has a number as fcatnrs that could la* eliminated and save much trouble and considerable expense. The rotation of candidates doubles the coat and means but little for the most candidates would [infer to have the fame |*»sition on all ladlots instead of rotating. • • • » V-r»ng thorc n.tme.i considered as Itemw ratic p«» ■ ihildn a for Aho presidential nomination is that of t’niled States Senator Samuel ,M Ralston, of Indiana. pvlndt has just received evidence.' that Fe rvor ilalston is, by general re< koning. an inditfcr’iit |m>H-| * tfc’t.r. Pru pHclive ui.ididat-* arc usually very gUd miteed of favorable oopr.rtunities to appear *»cforv the electorate and Senator Ralston wil< booked for just such a fine chance a* apeakcr at the ’••fferson (Uv, banquet in Detroit.

of falsehoods against the church of Christ with out ever inquiring about the facta of the case or the churches side of the controvcry. Now let us reason about these things for it occurs to me that other chinches are also at times bothered with backsliders and evil doers. Their alm is to correct those persons and to try to make good, honest, moral members of them, but when the church fails to bring such persons to obedience, then the neighbtkjrig churches do not blame und slander this iiarticular church; and why? Simply because they are all of the same mind, and led by the same spirit. Bi* when these case-J unfortunately arise in our church, there seems to be a universal willingness to conlemn the church and to sympathize with tho evil doer. This policy is cither a rampant spirit of unfuinmas toward our church and its godfearing members or else an unjust proof—which 1 huaitate to declare —that tho**- people who are so willing to . omlemu and criticize are of the same diaracter and evil mind as those who full away from the ghurch.
