Unconsciously, the thrower of dice comes to regard all business transactions as mat ters of chance, and the poker enthusiast becomes the business sneak. A certain gentleman of with five hundred dollars, as bout. His wife entreated him to denosit the money m the bank, loney in the her advice. He returned ing with a thousand more, to the fifteen for he pleaded with him, in vain,! with a total of four thousa nd. would have it, he lost it a and gold watch. The misfortune bed and his broken hearted wife she explained the whole si tuation. "Madam," said the doc or, "I vou. I am a veternary surgeon. "That is exactly why I band is a donkey." sent The man who imagines that he the gambler's methods, reminds me of one of the boatman condem ned by John Bunyan, because he looked one way and rowed the other. He's not puiling nimself in the same direction that he wants to go. Not only does the gamb to the element of chance in business, .biit it makes him lazy. to A man who would quit his til nine o'clock at night ti help his. sitting uo at a card table until three in the morning, or indeed, allnight, in the vain attempt to secure money that he ought to work for, like an honest rr an, in the day timevx A boy who would not work as extra hour for fifty cents, will spend an entire even ing trying to beat a gambling machine out of, twenty ' or thirty cents, and come out loser in the end. He fools away his time un til he is dismissed by his employer, and becomes eventually a chro nic and constitutional loafs r, industrious only when an opoportun ity presents itself to "take a chance" on something, stirred from his lethargy only by the news of a raffle or the possibility of a bet He becomes so thoroughly Satuated with . thase lazy ideas that they utterly control him, like the man who ate so many oysters that he rose and fell with the tide. . 10 VITAL REASONS WHY YOU (Compiled, Copyrighted,! 1.

W, tne xnj Our Greatest Modern Leader ' . ; " . ... " - On entering the Natienal Democrat ic convention hall in Baltimore; I fear-: ed that I would not have the opportun ity of heading much from the "Peer less Leader" from Nebraska. : The one above ;ajl from whom I was most anxious to hear, He. had been crushed by the preda tory interests so many times, that I couldn't comprehend "his. ability to withstand their contemplated onslaught inthe greatest and most powerful of all National Conventions. - But before 48 hours had passed, I was the glad est man In the armory of 25000, I saw him immediately upon two occa sions confidently and gracefully bring order out of chaos," after all the etren ou3 efforts by the other leaders had failed. He seemed to be the only man in the convention who could command the respect of the majority of the, whole people. These all important incidents for tne procedure of the work proved to my mind that William " .Jen nings Bryan was the livest dea'd man in America. He was head and shoulders above anyman in the convention and -the most conspicuous personage in Balti more. I have never witnessed such forensic .oratory and debate as 0was presented by -him to that great throng Everything simply melted in the wake of his logic and reasoning. ' Hi3 burn ing words could be Jeard in every nook and corner of the great armory, and his remorseless crusifictions "of those who were trying to saddle upon Democracy the stigma of the "preda tory interests' ' was at once the shib boleth of the convention war. -I shall never forget the scene which was created when asked to be allowed to explain his uote for. Wilson; "He was calm . and -collected When he had finished a delegate shouted : Will y ou support tnenominee . af - this " con- venticn?" Then came this replyi whieh was withering in the effect: 'There is a difference between the lawyer who defends the criminal after the crime has been committed and the lawyer who connives with the criminal in the enmmission of the crime." In stantly the vast assemblage , caught his reasoning and a cheering was started which lasted thirty minutes. The affect of his vote was realized later when the country folks were heard from by thousands of telegrams urging their delegates to follow Bry an and voto for Woodrow Wilson. Then s'came the inevitable.' The Wil son votes were there. It was like prising an ice berg from its moorings when it started its course was easy, it gathered -as it moved. - Bryan was the hero of the conven tion. He was the medium through which the nomination of a candidate of progressive policies was reached; His progressive ideas too, are written in the National Platform and he him self is a bigger man than ever before. He is to the American nation what Bismarck was to Germany, what Garibaldi -was to Italy, and 1 he. t stands before the people in the worth of his usefulness as a "Gre at Commoner' ' the invincible champion of govern ment, W.

' ' On the whole 'it is doubtful that Aulander ever started at session under such favorable conditions and our peo-. pie are a unit in trying to make the 1912-13 the greatest in our history. It is not "only advisable, but essential to the welfare of the students that they, enroll on ' the first day of the Session and not wait until the school has' been in progress for several " days or weeks. - v . -,. There is a lot of work to he done in classifying the grades and otherwise laying the foundation for ; the 'work, and both the faculty and Trustees will greatly assisted in their duties if students an roll on the first day. Pa rents of schoor children and all others who" are interested in the work: are given special invitation to be present on the opening day when several ad dresses will be made.

(Mr. Josiah W. Baiiey's speech on Senator Simmons whole record) North Carolina Democrats had a right to hope that: the campaign for the Senatorship would be conducted on a high plane!" That right was bas ed on the fact that each of the candi dates occupies a high office in the State and a high place in the party. But, we regret to say, the Governor of this State has from-; the beginning dissappointed that hope. He began his campaign with bitter attacks upon Senator Simmons. He has sought to maintain it by essaying the folly of try" ing to convince sensible people that Senator Simmons. is "Republicanizing the State," And, what is more re grett able, he has pursued, and is pur suing; methods that are manifestly un fair, and that menace the welfare of the Democratic Party. He must real ize that his ardent supporters are dis-! appointed in him. What methods we refer to wilL ap pear upon a casual review of his speeches and, his literature. . For example, when the State v Con vention endorsed Mr. Simmons' record the .Governor did not come out like a true Democrat and acquiesce in the de cree of his Party, but, instead, s in his Durham speech, he " denounced the convention, and . attempted, to make light of Jts action. Evidently he thinks himself greater than his party. ; Again, when the National Demo cratic Convention failed to declare for free lumber, free raw " material, and reciprocity with ; Canada, Governor Kitchin let go his opportunity to set himself right with his party, and at temptedjby sophistry to create the impression, in the face of-ithe, -practical indorsement of Senator Simmons course, that the platform was against the Senator. ; This was so obviously a peace of spacial pleading and'' of -- per version that the Governor's best "friends must recognize that he has proved himself neither candid nor frank. JThe party's platform is not a; proper sub ject of jugglery. A bigger man would not have attempted to create .an im pression so contrary to the spirit and letter of his party's National platform. - - Our platform was never : meant ; to be put to such uses and to undertake to do so. cannot but lessen the respect in which the Party's declarations are held. - ;: -: :, But by far the worst behavior r of all the Governor's unhappy course is embodied inTiis circular entitled - "READ.THE RECORD. '-' Jt that circular he ,r seeks to " make capital of Jihe-fact 5 that Senator Sim mons, sitting as a juror,: voted against declaring Senator Lorimer's seat va cant on the ground of corruption.' - It is new doctrine 'in this country that political capital, can be made of- a Ju ror's Verdi .t,: , vr It-is true that upon the discovery, of new evidence the Lorimer- case was reopened,-and upon the presentation, of that new Evidence " Simmons vntpd to declare Lorimer's seat vacant. But this does not justify Governor Kitch in's course in seekfng to make" political capital of a juror's vote. Nor is the Governor, any the more satisfied - than ' he was before. . . Neither ,vote suits him He seema bent on his course joined to his idols, In that circular .he speaks; of thq yote for the South American ; Ocean mail service as a subsjdy. He I knows that every Democrat in the United States Senate voted just as did, Mr, Simmons, and that not one of them U more" favorable to; subsidies than ia the Governor.himself, ' . And yet., he : singles tmt Senate? Simmons as voting for a subsidy!' Mr. Simmons has voted just as every oth er Democratic Senator has voted on, every bill about the merchant marina (Continued On -Another Page) ' ... The News Froni Lewiston .

W. Bailey stated In, his speeches that Simmons was: th Democratic leader of the Seriate, an pointed, to that as proof of SimmonaK worth, etc.. The trouble is that Xb statement is not true. Thomas Martin of Virginia Js the true and onn ly authorized leader of the Democrat in the Senate, made so some two year -by the democratic caucus. Simmon?J name, in connection with, the leaders ship, has never been mentioned in any democratic caucus.; Bailey's speeches state that a 'democratic caucus of thlfj senate un animou tly resolved to ; placq Simmons as the fittest man, in charge the. tariff bills sent overrby the House,,' There is not a word ot truth m tnia. Simmons name in a senatorial dem ocatic caucus has never been mentions, ed in connection with his leadership Jq the. tariff fight; he has had' control of the tariff bills in the Senate by rea son os.tre custom prevailing for Veara in the Senate.
