The campaign for state and
county officers closes today. Ail
the candidates appear to be con-
fident of election and in many
cases their confidence is a true
illustration of the fact that a
•‘man up a tree” can see better
than the one in the fight,
Joseph Cannon, speaker of the
national house of representatives,
was overcome by the heat while
speaking at Mansfield,Kas., last
Saturday. It was feared by his
family and friends that serious
results might follow, but he has
shown no bad effects and was
able to continue his speaking
tour.
The attorney general’s depart-
ment has answered a great many
questions about the election law
during the last few weeks, but it
safe to say that many features of
the law are not now understood
by a great many election officers
and voters. It seems hard for
some of them to understand that
a man must be a qualified voter
in order to vote in the primary.
The fact that one offering to vote
will become a qualified voter at
some future time will not suffice,
be must be qualified NOW and
where a young man has become
21 years of age since Jan, 1,1909,
he must have an exemption eer
tificate issued by the tax collector
prior to Feb. 1, 1910.
The person who is governed
by deep prejudices has a hard
time in this life, and probably
will have a hot time in the next
world. Prejudice takes the
place of reason, sympathy and
all those qualities which are lov-
able/and soon become a hard
and tyranical master of those
who are ruled by it, It cuts off
its nose to spite its face. It
drives away those who would
otherwise be friendly helpers. It
makes one’s religion disgusting,
one’s politics a stench, and so
cial standing unappreciated.
There is more or less reason in
all things, but prejudice cannot
see any reason why others
should enjoy equal rights. Prej-
udice is little and noisy. It rec
ognizes no good in what it don’t
happen to like, and cannot Bee
weakness or defeots in what it
admires. It leads those governed
by it to foolishly think they are
muoh holier than others.—Ex.

country are very spotted indeed.
As a whole they are very sorry.
I, like most other people that
leave Mills county, have most de-
cided that old Mills is awful hard

all the coons up one tree. 1
