Today the Dally Democrat enters
upon It* thirty-sixth year. Its pub-
lishers and founders are still young
men, on the job every day nisi while
they may not look as young as they
did thirty-five years ago they fe*l
lightly the charge they assumed back
In 1881. We shall endeavor to give
the people the news and work for
those things that will count for pros-
perity. happiness, good government
and moral advancement.
We are grateful for the co operation
the people have rendered us from time
to time, for the kindly expressions and
patronage. Shaking of patronage, we
want to say that It is a policy of the
Democrat to do business on the high
ground that no one Is expected to
patron lie this Institution unless they
believe they shall get value received
for the expenditure made.
To keep the record straight let us
also say that the Weekly Democrat
was established In August. 1879.
A republican congressman has asked
why the United States army Is kept on
the border, and this leads the Temple
Telegram to suggest that the afore-
said republican congressman move to
the border and undertake to live there
awhile so he could get some first hand

ORIGIN OF WORDS.
Daniel Garrett leads the bunch for
congressman-at-large. He la a mighty
good man and will take hold of the
job like a veteran for he has been n
representative before. - •
.Bob Henry says be lost 60*000 votes
In one night. The antis must have a
pretty swift way of passing the word
up- and down the line and getting it
bade to the forks of the creek.
Congressman Henry not. only
scratched himself out of the con.
gressionul garden by his ambition to
go pp higher but may have lost votes
by bis attack on the man he wanted
to succeed because lie Is sick.
JHAnrls 18 game. He says he will run
for toveriior again In 1918. He made
a j»rfive fight against extravagance In

can'-not pull away from giving a man
a second term of Office.
The Austin American says: “It Is
announced that the senate Is ready to
bow to the Will of President Wilson and
IWns the child labor bill at this ses-
sion of congress. The measure has al-
ready passed the house and It would
be no less than folly on the part of the
democratic party to hearken to the
protests of a few mill operators. For
every vote the passage of the bill
would cause to be lost among thut class
it will bring a thousand from right
thinking people. .Child labor as now
conducted In many states, is no less
than a great crime.” According to the
latest dispatcher President Wilson has
aSked that the bill be taken up and
passed at onee.
expression* Sometimes Stray From
Their Original Meanings.
The word “sweetheart” seems eVefyi
thing It ought to be for expressiveness.
One would naturally think that It bad
been coined for tbe occasion, like such
a word as “honeysuckle,”
But that Is a delusion and a snare.
It has no more to do with “heart” than
it has with “lungs.” It Is a word that
belongs to the class which Includes
"sluggard” and “coward” and “dull-
ard” and “niggard.” Pretty company
for a poet's word 1 But it Is true, though
sad, that “sweetheart” ought to be
spelled "sweetard.”
Who has not joined In a country
dance? Of course the country dance
reminds one of maypoles and merry-
makings and harvest homes. Sir Roger
de Coverley and his quaint rural man-
ners and ways seem Inseparably con-
nected with the dance. But it has no
more connection with fields and hay-
stacks and corn ricks than tbe turkey
trot The partners In foe dance face
each other, and the French therefore
called It a “contre danse.” There yon
are! The secret’s out.
What are ‘ikickshaws?” Just the
French “quelquee choses,” which means
“anything.”

Cats and Needles.
Cats seem to have a habit of swal-
lowing needle*. Wbeu a cat Is brought
to a veterinary hospital suffering with
a cough the doctor always looks for a
needle. In one instance Dr. Childs of
New York operated on a cat to remove
what he thought was an ordinary
needle. He found a hatpin nine Inches
long. But the cat’s life was saved.—

James Whitcomb Hiley Is dead. The
poet of the Middle West v>«ssed away
at his home in Indianapolis in the
peaceful hours- of the night of July 22.
The mau who loved home life and
children and who sang of the Joys of
sweetheart days had no loved ones by
his skle when the summons came. Only
the nurse was there.
But foe Hooster poet went on no
lonely journey. For thirty-six years
ills verso has been known and loved
by hundreds of thousands from Maine
to California. He has a* many friends
on the oilier as mi this side the River.
There are Eugene Field and BUI Nye
and Henry Wadsworth
and a host of others who
and have gone before.
There are lovers on the other side
who heard foe poet read “An Old
Sweetheart of Mine” when the world
was young. There are others who
sang “Heart of Mine. We Shouldn’t
Worry 8of when gray heads were
bowed with age. They all knew aud
loved the man who sang their -joys,
their sorrows, their lives and their
deaths, and sang in the hiuguage they
knew and understood.
There were no loved ones at the bed
side when his spirit passed out, but
all over the country then; are mourn-
and many a tear has fallen for

Traditions of Mother 8hipton.
Of all British prophets Mother Ship-
ton Is beyond doubt the most cele-
brated. She was, In fact, all that a
prophet and witch should be, in
strange contrast to the serious and
scientific Nostradamus. The day shb'
was born the sky became dark and
gloomy and, according to her biogra-
pher, “bclcht out nothing for an hour
but fiames, thundering after a most
hideous manner.” Her personal ap-
pearance, described by her admiring
biographer in 1662, Is scarcely flatter-
ing: “Her physiognomy was so mis-
shapen that it la altogether impossible
to express fully In words or for the
most Ingenious to line her In colors,
though many persons of eminent quali-
fications In that lino have often at-
tempted It, but without success."
