WHO CAN DIG IT OUT?

Farmers today are put to their wits end to know how to keep the young men in the country. No one seems to be able to solve the problem, and yet it must be solved or a few more years will see the farms almost completely depopulated ________ AND THE NATION IS DEPENDENT UPON THE FARMS. Young men are leaving the farms day by day because the life is too dull for them. They are intelligent, ambitious, full of life and spirits, and crave a more active career. They rush to the cities in the belief that fortune awaits them there. But ninety-nine out of every hundred become simple cogs in the great commercial wheel, . making barely enough to keep soul and body together, and NEVER SAVING A DOLLAR. There IS a remedy somewhere—some means certainly exists for keeping our young men on the farms, WHERE THE NATION NEEDS THEM. Who can dig it out?

Our prediction: Peace will positively come. It will occur on or about the time they quit fighting. Laugh at your own jokes and you will be ■sure of a laugh.

French Flyer Halts Germans.

Paris, Oct. 7.- i Thirty German trains are stranded in France as the result of a brilliant exploit by a French aviator. This man drove his Airship across the German lines unperceived in a dense fog and dropped 18 bombs, blowing up the Tergnier railway station and partially destroying a viaduct. The airship returned undamaged to the French lines.

See that it reads "Made in America.” Many a quiet man began life with a yell. If the pen is mightier than the sword it must be taking a snooze. There is one consolation left to the men in the ranks. Deatn comes bet Once. When a man speaks for himself be is doing all the Lord intended he should do.

Beware of Campaign Lies Sprung at the Last Hour

Here in the 10th District we have nominated for Congress Wtyl H. 4<le of Kentlaad. -He is ,a well-to-do farmer and stock-breeder who has made his own 1° the world. The voters of this District are asked to inquire into his ability, his reputation in Newton county, his private and public affiliations. If you are a real Progressive—looking into the future instead of clinging to super-

WILLIAM H. ADE Progressive Candidate for Congress

stitions that hre out of date —vote for Will Ade. A vote for Will Ade is a vote for a sensible and final solution of the tariff question.

Mr. Voter, here is a prediction. Mark it up on the wall somewhere so that it won't be rubbed out, and see if it doesn't come true. Prediction. BEFORE 1918 THE WHOLE MATTER OF ADJUSTING IMPORT DUTIES WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM CONGRESS AND PUT UNDER THE CONTROL OF A PERMANENT COMMISSION.

The date is made 1918, because in Iff Hi there will be elected a President and a Congress, both favorable to the commission plan advocated by the Progressive party. It is the only sensible solution of the everlasting tariff problem. For years Albert J. Beveridge has

favored a tariff commission. The standpatters have ridiculed him and roasted him but now—-wonder of wonders!—they have begun to see a great light and read the handwriting on the wall, and they too are beginning to favor a Tariff Commission! Listen, Mr. Voter.

Every blessed plank of the Pro-' gressive Party is going to be written into the laws of this country before j the children now in the primary grades are old enough to vote. v We are going to have a tariff commission, equal suffrage, the initiative and referendum, a minimum wage for women, free text-books in the schools, better protection for the lives and safety of workmen, a square deal for every citizen. We are even going to have the “recall,” which has scared some people nearly to death, because the “recall” simply

means that on a final a government “of the people, for the people, and by the people’’ means that and nothing elße. We are having a lot of tariff talk this year. Our standpat friends, who are trying to patch up the old republican machine and get it to working again, say that all persons who are not fully satisfied with democratic legislation should vote the republican ticket.

Can you remember as far back as 19 08? Many you voted that year for republican candidates, because they promised to -revise” the tariff.

Well, they ''revised’’ it, under the direction of the big manufacturing interests. The farmer, the day laborer, the small business man and the ordinary consumer had mighty little to say about the framing of the Payne-Aldrich law. You Were not satisfied with the I r.yne-Aldrich tariff law, were you? Are you going to vote this year for a man who favored that law and who has always been loyal to the organization that broke all the pledges solemnly made in 1908? Are you going to be fooled twice in the same way?

Ihe democrats came into power and made the mistake of going squarely against the protective pol4*>' In trying to correct the evils of standpat legislation, they jumped too far in the other direction. Mr. Ade is, and always has been a firm advocate of tariff protection, especially so when it meant protection (o infant industries, but when tbe infant had grown to be a giant and used its strength and power to dictate the policies of the nation, he believed it time to call a halt and was therefore one of Senator Beveridge's staunch supporters when he first advocated a tariff commission for the proper and reasonably ad-

justment of the question. Will Ade has always been an advocate of good roads, good schools, good fchurches, good libraries, good lodge rooms, good government, in fact, he has always been a booster for any thing and everything that was for the best interests of the public and the community wherein he resided.

He is for the square, honest, open and above board fight upon any public question and cfetests sneaking, guerilla warfare and underhand methods in any contest. He is a total abstainer from all alcoholic beverages and has always ■consistently and earnestly advocated the abolishment of saloons from his county and he has no apologies to make for what he has been able to see accomplished in that line.

Do not be deceived by any CAMPAIGN LIES, circulated the day before election, when the political scandal monger thinks there will be no chance to refute his nefarious work. All reasonable voters know r that if there were any foundation for such reports they would have been used early in the campaign. Beveridge for United States Senator on State Ballot. Will H. Ade for Congress on County Ballot.

The Bitter End.

To speak unkindly isn’t wit, To say things that wound the heart Is never clever—not a bit. Though at the time you think it smart, Far better is it to remain As silent as a marble bust Than srpeak and leave a track of pain Behind a smiling, bitter thrust. The poisoned barb within a jest That leaves a fellow being hurt Is not of cleverness the test. Nor of a brain that is alert. To gibe at age or private scars, Or sacred griefs proclaima the cad And he who does it sadly mars The laughter that Should leave us glad. Unkindness isn’t wit at all, There’s little humor in a sneer. One cannot drench his speech in gall And seek to laugh away the tear. And lie who poisons thus the gay Is just as cowardly as he Who kicks a cripple’s crutch away And laughs his helplessness to see. —Detroit Free Press. 1
