Ea-ly Christmas chopping saves leg wear, temper, money and the proper spirit for the patrons and the clerks. ' , The republican press and the ers in the senate are now willing to accept the Insurgents and make the best of it. Reminds us of the song. “She may be wrong, but right or wrong, she’s still n>y baby.” While making up your list of Christmas gifts permit us to remind you that a subscription to the Daily Democrat will be appreciated as much as any thing you can do for those who are away from home. State Chairman R. Earl Peters is starting the fight for two years from now and with a determination that will help the democrats to win. The record this year was good but it can be bettered in the next tight if those interested or who ought to be will aid the county and state organiza.tions. Seems like there ought to be some way to put an end to this bank bandit business. They are n<* .ooking after larger cities and towns and apparently getting away with it just as successfully as they did in the rural banks. Here’s a chance for some one who is smart enough to work out the plan. If you cun do it you have a fortune at your command. The high school football boys lost a hard game yesterday, to their old antagonists, Bluffton, but thtey Ijave nothing to be ashamed of. They fought haru,’weakened by the loss of several players, gave the best they had and •>>«t a clean and well played Tlu-y had several chances to win but just couldn't put it over. The main thing is that they did their best for old D. H. S. and thats all that can lie asked ftom any team. “Helnj’’ Hendricks iu hi# talk to Rotary the other evening told about roads iu Europe that are 2.000 years old ami said they have lasted because they were built right. And that’s the whole secret, if we built better to start with we would save a lot of money iu a few decades. There is much to think about along this line and by the ~way many folks are thinking it right now. Advertising pays any time in the year but never more than at this season when thousands of people are in the market for winter clothing, for Thanksgiving goods, for Christmas gifts and all of the necessaries. This is a good time for the merchant to use our columns and likewise a splendid time for you to read carefully every advertisement in the Daily Democrat. It pays both ways. Farms along the federal and state highways will in a few years double and perhaps trippie in valuq. This has been proven along the National Road and/ the Dixie Highway, and others. Os course the roads will help . those towns through which they pass and help every county and so it becomes a case of every body pulling log< liter. By al! means we ought t<? send iu the easements asked for between here and Monroe and we ought to do It at once. / Uncle Joe Cannon, for haff a century a leader in republican politics in the Laiteil btates and a t.guye iu conI ,

I grew Is dead ut the age of ninety--1 one. He engineered many bills through congress including the famous McKinley tariff lats, he served as I speaker and he was for two decades 'a very popular American. He wore bis slouch hat in a slouchy manner, he smoked big black cigars and many of them, ho always had a smile and a good story and he held the record I for consecutive years in congress. His death came peacefully in contrast to his stormy and busy life. The nation will mourn over the death of one of her popular sons. .... The standpatters may as well understand now us after while that the only way they can continue peace

with the Insurgents is to permit them to have their way and that won’t pl-use them long. It may be alright to name them on the committees but . when the first real scrap comes up in i the senate, you may expect some dis- . agreements. However there must be. , I some serious reason for the advances now being made to Brookhart, Fr izier. Norris and the others for it has . aot been so long since they threw ,' these men out of the party bodily and ousted Brookhart from the senlite. The present effects show how hard put the old line republicans are but we doubt if they can reconcile for long young Bob LaFollette and his •cohorts. American women earn more than they used to. The average woman worker filing an income tax gets from SI,OOO to $2,000 a year. Over 150,000 women who are heads of families had average incomes last year of nearly $3,000. Os single working women there were some 773,314. with average incomes of $2436. There were 173,225 married women who filed nicome tax returns separately from their husbands, and their average incomes were, about $5,500. Os course many women earn money on a lower level than the income tax payers. Many of them work’half time, or are in illpaid occupations. But the general fact is that last year more than a million women earned enough to bring them under the income tax law, and they earned pretty competently. , —. —o READS STORY OF THE CRUCIFIXION UOXTIXIEI) FROM FWE ME) the Prophets.

H S . 8 sssssssxsssssssss LETTER FROM SPOKANE A letter describing the country around Spokane, Washington, where they now live, written by Mrs. Dick Peterson, formerly of this city, has been received here. While not written for publication we aro taking the liberty to give it to our readers because of its descriptive excellence. Mrs. Peterson writes: “You would have enjoyed being with us today. After church and dinner we went on a trip to Long Lake Dam. It is over the Pasco Plateau, which is one of the best agriculture districts in this part of the country. It is higher than the Spokane Valley, but flat, and devoid of trees. We could see towns six miles and ten miles aWay. They looked like they were but a m;le or so distant, but the. records showed differently. This; valley as they call it is surroundedj by mountains on all sides but they ■ look like tiny hills as the ground is high. Os course the country resembled the farmland arcund Berne, Rather rolling and occassionally a great pile of rocks in the center of field broke the monotony of j I plowed ground or wheat. Might have been lowa soil. After about 20 miles of this we began the desent into the valley along ! the Spokane, and for another 15 miles we rode on a wagon road with hundreds of feet up on side and the same number down on the other. Do I make myself clear? We passed Deep River, Spring Creek, which is rightfully named as it was a continuous chain of bubbling springs spout- ?..• up above the rocks, tnroug'n und- : i brush and fallen trees. A good hiding for fox, cougar, bob cats and stills. Don’t know which Is the more numerous or danerous, the wild animals or the stills. You can imagine the most beautiful scenery you have ever viewed and you have it. It was all there, if not on the way out. we saw it on the return trip. Where the Spokane river started at Long Lake, stood the two million dollar dam. It is situated there in the valley, which is surrounded by craggy hills, whose white sides are broken by evergreen trees and moss green and silver spots. From the ground it does not appear so large. We entered, registered and then went in with a mechanic as he came on duty. It turned out that he was from South Bend. He gave us a permit to go up on the top. We started eagerly, but after the first floor was passed began to slacken our pace. The long steep inclosed stairway did not seem so far. but its hard steel steps tired us. Through the gratings under the steps wy could sea the water passing over the mammoth rounded places below. Imagine our surprise when we reached the gate after we had climbed those 150 srteps, to turn and face another flight almost as long, then another and another liatll over 300 steps were passed. We came out by a beautiful placid lake. So peaceful and calm. One was tempted to run across on the pier or want to ride in the small row boat. But looking closer we found that the pier was a float, and the dark green still water could be msch more hazardous than it appearour Inclinations. On the other side of the cement lookbut. quite a different view appealed Hundreds of feet • below us the water, after passing through the large turbine behapie a white seething foam as it dashed against the rorks. then passed on into the Spokane river. French said it made him want to jump down into the. fresh white ’foaming liquid. It was a sight worth seeing and I am 1 sorry that we did not take the caui-

era up, as we missed some good pictures. It was rather late and 1 did not know what we were going to see so loft it down. Too far for any one to go utter. It is needless to say that there are no loafers about and that the place was as clean as could be. If the cement wull had broken while we were in the valley, this would be an entirely different story. I realized that while I lay awake last night. We saw the Queen. We did not try to pass In review, but wore very close to her in the parade, which was dignified and spectacular. The entire fort turned out and it gave an air of distinction and pomp worth remembering. She was quite beautiful, and gracious. The Prince was better looking than the Princess. Also they are breaking the ground today, just across the street, for the 600,000 dol-| lar cathedral, which is for all faiths. They expect to have the first part finished by spring. It will add to the beauty of our neighborhood and increase the value of our property. XINA. — o Dance Sun Set Sunday night Free Turkey given away. It

Suggestions To Water Consumers

PROTECT YOUR METER TODAY. % Frozen Pipes And Meters If pipes are frozen they may be thawed in some cases by wrapping cloths around them and pouring aot wafer on If there is a bad case of frozen pipes or if a house is to be closed for the winter it is best to secure the services of a competent plumber. Do not pour hot water on the meter. Do not build a fire on the meter as it will ruin the rubber piston and celluloid register. In case of a frozen meter call this department before the same thaws out and causes a damage to your property and a waste of water. Sill Cocks * K For Sprinkling Sill cocks or house faucets on the side of the house should be shut off in the basement before • reezing weather and when this is done, the faucet should be opened so as to admit air, which will cause the water to run out at the stop and waste in the basement. 1 his procedure should be followed when it is desired to drain the house pipes. Air must be admitted at the top to force the water out below.

DEMOCRAT WANT AOS GET RESIitTS

Water Closets And Faucets Water closets and faucets should be examined frequently in order to keep the consumption of water on a normal basis. After a closet has been ilmhed and the tank is filled, there should be no movement of the water in the bowl; if there it, water is wasting into the sewer. By holding a piece of paper or cardbard against the rear portion of the bowl, a flow may be detected which an ordinary examination would not disclose. STOP ALL LEAKS PROMPTLY as “a waste of water is a waste of money.” How To Shut Off Water The “shut off” known as the stop and waste, where the pipes enter the basement is your immediate protection in the event of a burst pipe or meter and also for the purpose of shutting off and draining the house pipes where and when there is danger ot freezing; it should be easy of access and in good condition. In some basements it is covered with coal or it is in such bad condition that it cannot be turned. The man of the house should see that the stop and waste is in good order and that the folks at home know how to operate it.. To shut off turn handle so that it is at right angle with the pipe, o u” t l turn or if a wheel valve turn to right until comply ’ ly closed. •
