It is said the delegates to the Democratic Congressional convention from Hancock county will support Rev. T. H. Kuhn of Richmond for Congress. Hancock county is the birth place of Rev. Kuhn. If he is nominated, this will be the third race that Rev. Kuhn has made for congress in this district. One was against James E. Watson.

The appointment of postmaster almost always is an embarrassment to Congressmen. In most cases the selection has to be made from among the special friends of the official, and that fact makes it the more delicate. The fight for postoffice positions often affect the efficiency of the service. Congressmen could give their cengtituents better service if they did not have to be worried by recommending constituents for places. The citizens too are often not fair toward the Congressmen in such matters, and they use all kinds of threats to carry their points. The safest plan for Congressmen to follow is to get as nearly in touch with all the people as possible,

and then appoint the man who will create the least discord, always keeping in mind that he must be efficient and capable.

CENSUS WORK.

The census which is now to be taken in the United States is the most important in the history of our country. It is not only important to the United States as a whole, but important to the individual citizens of the country. It is the specific data of their doings and accomplishments. The more accurate it is, the better it is. Much of its accuracy will depend upon the people. It is the duty of every citizen to be equal to the emergency, and help out the parties who are taking the census. Blanks will be sent out to the heads of families and they should take up the matter and fill them out without delay so that when the census taker comes, it will require only a short time to complete the work. By filling out blanks at once upon receipt of them, time will be saved for the citizen and also for the Census taker. They have to be filled out no matter how long it takes, and it is the duty of every citizen to aid in the work. He can save time for himself as well as the enumerator by doing it in advance. The enumerator under the law can call in the United States marshall to enforce the compliance with the law. It is to save the citizen's time that blanks are advanced. It will also add to the accuracy of the statistics, if the individual does his whole duty. He should do it, and do it on receipt of the blanks, but he will eventually have to do it whether he does it promptly or tardily.

With all the Honors of High Position

Representatives in Congress Have

Their Perplexities.

No man can be elected to Congress without being put under some special obligation to many people. Perhaps no one appreciates this more than congressmen themselves, still in the discharge of official duty, there comes a time when congressxnen are compelled, under the law, to make recommendations from among their friends for desirable positions. No one from the outside knows just how embarrassing the position is to the congressman. It is not surprising that he so often says that he wishes he had a place for each one of the applicants.

One thing that impresses an outsider in such contests, is that many applicants are unfair to the man who has the power of appointment. They are not content to urge their legitimate claims, but resort to threats. They declare if he does not do as they want him to do, they will beat him for nomination or not vote for him at election.

They do not stop to think that if they were in his place they could select only one candidate out of the field, and if it is legitimate and right to bolt theirparty organization because a certain selection is made, then it is right for all the unappointed applicants for a place or defeated candidates of a convention to bolt, and refuse to accept results, but if that is right, then there can be not effective party organization. No one denies the right of every individual citizen to be independent, and to do absolutely as he, pleases in politics. He can vote with a party one time and against it at another, or he can vote for individuals of all parties, against this candidate because he thinks him an unfit man, and that one because he is especially qualified for the position regardless of what tickets they areon, or he may go even further and vote for or against men for mere personal grounds, but in any of such cases, to be consistent he should make no claims to being a party man, and should not attempt to control party action nor to influence party officials in their party appointments. The independence in politics is simply wonderful, and it seems to be growing, but nevertheless, there are many men laying claim to being both partisan and independent.

It would be a good thing if congressmen were not annoyed by the duty of recommending men for positions, but so long as they are, they should be treated fairly by their party men. Results of appointments should be accepted like results of elections. Each candidate should do his best to secure the place appreciating that only one can be successful and the others disappointed. He would not want all the others to bolt if he were appointed and he should not bolt if one of the others is. If he can not accept results he should stay out of the contest and reserve the consistant right of doing as he pleases in politics. Then he would not be suspected of being a party man simply from selfishness and a desire for place.

Did you ever see a hypocritical piece of Furniture? It pretended to be so and so— but it was REALLY behind th« varnish something very different. Such Furniture as that never fooled me—and never will. The sham is too easy to see through. With this store there is never any masquerading. Oak is always oak—mahogany is mahogany. If you pay for a certain quality you get THAT quality—always. My confidence comes from a knowledge of what's what in FurniI can truthfully say that I never asked anybody to view an assortment that was quite as worthy, and at such low prices.
