The Yorkville Enquirer has the following complimentary reference to the work of Mr. S. E. Boney in covering the State campaign: "We are especially struck with the good work that S. E. Boney is doing in reporting the state campaign for 4L. XT 1 /l tue iiewii anu courier, in t.ne nrst place the task is a most difficult one. Verbatim reports are out of the question, and since each side is naturally inclined to consider as favoritism or partisanship anything that seems calculated to create a friendly impression for the other, the judgment and discretion of the reporter is tested to the limit. Mr. Boney is evidently trying to be fair, as a newspaper reporter should always try to be." Mr. Boney is one of the best newspaper men in the State. He has the gift to seize the heart of the discussion and in a few sentences brings out the real issue in the campaign. Mr. Boney began his c*reeraa?*k. newspaper man with/-'-'1- *n? ? -v ?- |rf?? with a great 'deal ox interest and pleasure. Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, has been nominated by the Democrats as presidential candidate, .and Governor Marshall, of Indiana, has been nominated as candidate for vice president. This will make a strong team, and the Democrats have a good opportunity to win. Had they nominated conservative instead of procrressive*. the Democrat* would have had no show. As it is, President Taft, the Republican nominee, is a conservative of the conservatives. Gov. Wilson is a progressive of the progressives. It will be a drawn battle between these elements and the opportunity to see the matter thoroughly tested is at hand. We predict success for the Democrats this year, and feel sure they have a fine opportunity. The tendency of the times is toward progressivism rather than towards conservatism. There is danger in progressive policy, but so also is there danger in conservative policies. One is liable to move too quickly; the other is in danger of never moving. One is too quick to experiment ;the other Iaqoq fVlO Konofii o f V?of ton roonl f from experiment. In the present nominee of the Democrats it is a thoroughly trained mind that gives itself to the issues. His progressive policies are theories, largely, and with a thoroughly trained mind there is little danger of passing too far in these pol., icies. The theory, when turned into Lr t practice, will be changed to suit the exegencies of the case. "Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?" I am in need of a good horse, let us suppose. I go to a friend of mine who has a good horse for sale. "Friend John", I say, "I hear you have a good horse to sell." He replies, "Yes, I've got a splendid horse; works anywhere, and looks well; will not kick, bite, run away nor balk." "That's good," I answer, "What will you take for that horse?" "Four hundred dollars", is the reply. "That seems reasonable", I reply, "I believe 111 take him he looks to me to be a first class horse; I like the way he holds his ears forward, don't like a horse that lays his ears back on his neck." Then I say to my friend: "Friend John, I'll try that horse. If he does as well as he looks, I'll (five you $400 for him; suppose you put on the bridle and saddle; I'll take a ride to test this horse!" Friend John gets out bridle and saddle and the horse * i 1 " hi"4'1. Is about ready for me. I take hold of the bridle and put my foot in the stirrup to mount, when suddenly my friend John sayt? "Wait a minute." Then he goes into the stable and brings out a little shining instrument with a needle on enp end and a plunger oh the other and starta towards the horse. He pUtches up the skin on the horse's bade and shoots in the needle and the liquid is forced out of the tube and under the skin of the horse. I Say to my friend John: "Friend John, what did you do that for?" "Oh, nothing; it's just to give the horse a little ginger; it will make him prance about and hold up his ncau ana swiccn us tall/ "Yes, Friend John, but do you have to do that to make this horse go?" "Oh, yes, that's the way to get the best out of him." "Well, friend John, you just keep that horse; 111 keep my $400. I'm looking for a horse that does not have to be doped to get him to do well." Gentle reader, would I be a fool to refuse to trade after I found out that the horse had to be doped to get him to go. Not much. You would say I would be a fool if I bought with the knowledge that I'd have to administer some stimulant each time I wished to take a ride. Yet there are men in all professions who are thought to be very smart fellows, chiefly because they dope up on whiskey. "What a smart man lawyer A is" says one. He would be the biggest lawyer in the State if he did not drink. As it is he is the smartest one in these regions." Yes, but some day he will not have the dope just at hand; or he will make the dose too big, and vou, his client, will hang for the lack of a lawyer. Certainly I don't feel like entrusting my life to a "doped" lawyer; nor to a doped doctor, nor to a doped druggist nor to any other mortal man who has to take a stiff drink to be in trim to serve me best. It's foolish to risk such a person in a trying time. It is not common sense. It does not show the man to be worthy of trust in a crisis. The Almighty never intended that a man should have to "dope up" in order that he might get the best out of his mind and body. It's just as unwise to tie to such a man in a pinch as it is to purchase my friend John's horse that must needs be "doped" to get him to go. News From West Springs.
