Some of the people are unreasonable and others are un fair, says the Griffin News and Sun. They believe almost any re port about a candidate or a man in public place, unless he happens to be their favorite; and there are not wanting alert competitors for the place who will rarely hesitate to make capital in any way they can. That there are a great many com petent and worthy men who would never consent to accept public of fice or attempt to serve and please the people, is not the least aston ishing. The people fail in some instances to either hold the incom petent and unworthy responsible for their shortcomings or to give due credit and commendation to the capable and faithful man who knows little about the art of elec tioneering. It should be the study and the pleasure of every good cit izen to find out just who are the efficient and faithful public officials and to say and do everything within reason to sustain them; but how many ot the voters do any thing of this kind? Many of them vote against the very candidate who most deserves their support. There is another school who must not he classed with people who mean well but do wrong, as indicated above. These latter are the cheap grafters who fasten and fatten upon the candidates. Truly, it has Welcome the custom of some individuals to practice graft and in timidation among political candi dates. The demands of these peo ple are so rapacious that men who are fit are often discouraged from entering contests. The worst type of these strikers is found in the unscrupulous and unauthorized gratter who demands money from every candidate he can reach un der threat that refusal will cause the enmity of whatever organiza tion, society or union he may claim to represent. Selt-respecting or ganizations uf men do not author ize such practices. There can be no doubt that this is a practice which is worse in ef fect than a statutory property qual ification, for it tends to crowd the man of modest means out of the competition unless he is willing to accept the support of self seeking interests which will pay his ex penses if he will wear its collar and do its bidding when elected. Can didates should stand with united front in resistance to the grafters and strikers. The fellows who at tempt to hold up men who stand for public office often have no more influence in deciding elections than the confidence men and beg gars who solicit money at all times in business circles. Not one of them can show authorizing cre dentials, but each is attempting to make hay by practicing upon the timidity of both experienced and inexperienced candidates. Yet these “fellows” sometimes have an influence that is extensive and many a candidate has been de feated because he declined to buy one or more of them. Candidates are held up during almost every ; election and the “special interest” that holds up the more timid of them is not always the soulless ! corporations. It is a most shame ful state of affairs, tending to ab solutely debar from the public ser vice the man who stands for hon est methods and sound principles, and to even drive honest voters away from the polls.

It is easier to avoid temptation than it is to overcome it. The man who is afraid of failure should never begin. Stories unfit for ladies to hear are unfit for gentlemen to tell. Nature loves a joke—that is why some men are what they are. The bread of idleness is very apt to produce mental indigestion. The man who takes no interest in politics seldom has any civc principles. / \ The highest ambition of some men is to be appointed marshal of a parade. It is hard to argue with a man who invents his own statistics; it is also foolish. Some revival meetings would re sult better if started with a resur rection, There is one thing about this “postal card” fad: it enables one to keep the promise to “write every day or two.” The world owes you a living, but collection of the debt entails an awful lot of hustling.
