A courteous word to your neighbor today may bring you two tomorrow. o Sometimes we stop and wonder if ?vc it-aiiy nave a national election on tap and only a tew days off. But let us hope it makes up in quality what it lacks in noise. o Troops are going down to the bor-1 der, and troops are coming back from the border, and troops are remaining on the border, and we'd like to know what it all means, anyway. Now wouldn't you? o A public speaker has the temerity to remark that it is time for qualifications and not barrels to control our national and State elections. Put him out! But, on second thought, hanged if he ain't right. o The dear Chicago Tribune says: "Mr. Hughes will speak five times through Nebraska today."

Any community, town or country, is warranted in taking supreme interest q its young people. You may talk about your' mercantile ano banking nterestK your mills and other manufacturing enterprises; your -oooks and bonds; farms and crop' a:.(I blooded stock as much as you please. They may bo allright in tli''lr place. and doubtless are, but f ? asset in the world is the human beings in it. They are the body. life and soul of every activity o! life. The higher their thoug' t are the larger their aceoin-plishnients; the nobler tiieii thought the better their living. The duality of th-- life is a process of education?direction and training and the earlier it is begun and the more perseveringly it is enforced the more noble and efficient does it become. The greatest factor, therefore, in the life of any community, 4h its'boys and girls; and th" future of the community may be reckoned according as interest is taken tn dhlld life. Nurtured and tralnea with caro and affection it has Its ?)OHrtibility of reaching its highest .pinnacle; treated with Indifference or neglect it is almost certainly foredoomed to prodigal wastefulness of its higher powers. And the communilty profits or suffers proportionately as it takes interest In its child life, because Its welfare Is condl T] tioted upon Its interest In the life ?>f the beings ?ho constitute its human activities. Many present evils could be very greatly minimized, if not totally eliminated, in a community by the exercise of proper care over the children. They are [forced to see and hear many things Ithat should not be allowed to cross 'their young lives; and are permitted jmany privileges which they should1 inot be allowtd to have. Too much icare cannot be bestowed by a com-1 munity upon its young people. Give Ithe boys and girls the right kind of a fair chance and the community will never have cause to regret it.? j Kershaw Kra. * ITHE NEIGHBORHOOD MEDDLER. | 1 Most neighborhoods have her. She is the most noticeable feature oT the landscape. She is always on the job. It matters not thnt the job is self-assumed, she never sleeps on it. She is frequently the widow of some man whom the com pi unity held in high esteem. In a moment of fatal weakness he annexed her to his life, and very soon that life became worthless to him and he was glad to lay It down. Since worrying him to his grave, her ambition seems to be to send him plenty of company for fear he may become lonesome, deprived as he is of her presence. Nothing is begun, carried on or completed without her meddlesome interference. She knows the full' family history of every man. woman | and child for miles around, and if an' ill-timed breath of scandal is needed | to forever wither and destroy a1 promising career, she furnishes it with glee. Having long since parted with any youthful charms she may have onerpossessed. the possession of attractiveness in the young people seems to fill her withered heart with gall. Tinboys of the community are all trilling and vicious, the girls weak and silly. Their mothers and fathers are no better, and really one cannot imagine what the world is coming to. No affair of community or private life is too big or too little for her meddlesome tongue to dip into. She annoys us. hut we tolerate her. She nags us. but we hear it. At times she almost drives us crazy, but we endure it. And there is no remedy, no rej course? Yes. there is one. Dr. Ossler sag gested it. and was frowned out of court. Hut. honestly, when con-j templating the tyrannical rule of this neighborhood meddler we sometimes jwonder if the world was not too severe on the Doctor. + TilK ItKSPONSimiilTV. In the approaching general election it is possible that a number of persons will refuse to vote the straight Democratic ticket from president and governor to coroner, which thev are pledged to do. If i ,that should he the event where would the responsibility for such tf repudiation of the primary test? If there have been any party leaders who have openly or silently as-, sented to threats of repudiation of the primary and have thereby directly or by implication encouraged it. upon them will rest the responsibility. The preservation of the Democratic party and the Democratic primary is the business of party leadors. It [is for them to defend the party from .aspers'on if they purpose to lay chorn to future leadership and to ask for party rewards. For more than a month open disenssion and advocacy of party desertion in the coming election, as to certain of the more important offices. federal and State, has appealer! in newspapers. Has it been te huked? Has it been silenced? , 4i t v uiifKriiy can not ho trifled with. If a pa'ty is to livo and retain its strength, fho loaders who can lvroliod upon, through success arid through defeat, to stand by it are entitled to its confidence and to its honors. The opportunity to serve the Democratic party in South Carolina by throttling incipient rebellion against it has boon offered during the last 30 days and the opportunity passed weeks ago. To denounce party rehellion is safe now, of course.?The State. - - Sloan's Liniment for Neuralgia Aches.
