j we wish to say Logan is gaining J
ground. Whitney Weils is'not far
behind. When you .vote him in
you will be glad you did. Now
brother, if you feel Logan is curl- !
ing up or dreaming by the way- j
side just visit the smaller towns, s
Gault &-Sons are a hundred and,
one for Logan's return to the
! same job. Its not fair to set him
j aside since he had only made one
; term. Some smart Joe Joes told
' me f should be fired by the Edi

proper language. Pshaw, we bud- ;
dy up at that place of business.

You might not believe an old
man. All things have become j
new. I can remember when men
wore shirt waists, and they call- \
ed a naircut a shingle, and wo- i
men didn't choke cigaretts down, j
Didn't wear bloomers and chase
men around. Now they can vote, j
That's all right. Play cards, and i

They wore no sox at all. Shorts i

heart once loving loves for ever)
the poet says. 'Surely he was
dreaming. I fell in.love with an
Angel-like girl. Her hair was gol- j
den, her cheeks were dimpled, (
her eyes were like the golden i
moon. Her lips were inviting for
a kiss. When you held her In
your arms, perfect was her form,
but when I awoke I found it was
a fancy of mine. Just a fickle
dream.

What is Democracy? It is the
combined control of man's af
fairs thru the combined control
of the majority -of the people,
without infringement 011 the
rights and privileges of the mi
norities. Vote as you please and
for whom you please. That's what
keeps the Government . going
strong, but don't misrepresent the
other man.
Sometime ago I was talking
with an old friend of . mine who
for many years has lived in Bos
ton. He was telling about the
glorious statute of the immortal
Abraham Lincoln, with the slave
boy looking up at him. On the
boy's wrists were the shackles of
slavery and Lincoln was striking
them off from his wrist. TJiat is
one of the reasons why Abraham
Lincoln will ever be enshrined in
the Imagination and love of
mankind. He set the poor slaves
free and that is just when Jesus
Christ does. He sets you free from
something that is more binding
than any physical yoke. He un
shackles the world spiritually.
Yes, old Abe did much for en
slaved mankind, but he's getting
his reward. Hitler is getting his
too, but alas, in hell. Judge not.
Yes, but a tree is known by its
fruit. Hitler never did unlock any
personalities. He enslaved the
poor fools that cherished him as
the Saviour of all Germany. Ano
ther man gave his lif? and all
trying to free mankind from the
fear of want. His name will ever
be immortal ? Roosevelt.

Mr. Truman loudly called for his
own election among the farmers
because of ills price support pro
gram. Now (ell me, dont that
bunch know how to catch on, and
hang on? I'm too plain for some
oi you. They care nothing about
you up at Washington.
And so Hi Tax Harry thinks the
way to make prosperity is to
raise taxes. and spend the money
Oh Government Jobs. 0" K. he
wants to get every one on the
payroll. Then he gets the votes.
So he can rest in the easy chair
another term, give the farmer a
little dole out. They don't ask
for much ? never had much. Vo
tes is what Sam and his boys
want. Oh Harry you are so very
wise. Tax the rich man, tax. the
poor man, tax the coffins, tax
the dead. Its not stealing ? its ta
king a part of an honest man's
hard toilings. I believe In taxes,
but don't bleed the nation to
death. ....
You never thought I\i ?e a
poet:
I'm just a little pig,
I don't know why.
My mother wap an old sow,
Before she died.
Not many days ago.
They killed all litrle pigs,
Left a few like me,
The price of pork chops,
Went up and then got high,
Had been nice and low.
Now they buy spuds and 'taters
too.
With other things that grow,
To rot spoil and waste,
Upon the dessert sands.
Watch spuds and 'taters go high,
To bless those men in Washing
ton.
Who are so devilishly wise,
Living costs gone too high,
Labor wants more pay.
Work less, shorter days,
What did you say, H. Y.?
Vote 'em out, vote in a better
bunch,
That wont kill little pigs,
And waste 'taters and spuds.
