FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1907
An exchange truthfully remarks
that good roads not only save
money in the matter of saving ve
hicles which travel on them, but
they increase the price of land, at
tract immigration and make a
country rich and prosperous.
Journal through the columns of
the Newport Democrat.
The Journal never pays any at
tention to the wail of the individ
ual who is ashamed of the name[
he wears, and we want to assure
Brother Waterman that he must
either stand up and take his medi
cine in person, or quit the game.
We refuse to engage in a mud
slinging contest with a substitute
who is too cowardly to come out in
the open.
And we want to say to Brother
Waterman that if he thinks we I
are afraid or ashamed of any of :
our political conduct, he is badly;
mistaken. We believe in Demo
cratic principles, but we are a
man and a citizen first and a
Democrat next; in other words,
we have a higher regard for right
than we have for the success of
any political party. We have
scratched the Democratic ticket,
more than once in our life, and,
unlike Waterman, we are neither
ashrmed of it nor afraid to admit
me eauor or an excnan#e asiteu
a lady teacher why there were so
many old maids anion# the teach
ers, and received the following
tart reply: “Because teachers, as
a rule, are women of sense, and
«io sensible woman will #ive up a
$40 a month job for a $10 man.”
The candidate for office who
seeks to make votes for himself
liy debauchin# his fellow man with
«tron# drink should be sat down
txpon hard by the people, for a
man who will steal a man’s senses
(by means of liquor will steal any
thin# else that he can #et his hands
on and thinks he can #et away
with without bein# cau#ht.—Mon
roe County Citizen
_ ' —
THE COWARD RUNS
Waterman, the cowardly cur,
«eein# that wo had proven him
#uilty of downri#ht and unscrup
ulous lyin#, has sneaked off, like a
whipped cur, with his tail between
iris le#s, and induced some un
scrupulous and conscienceless liar,j
who is ashamed of his identity, to ]
**lin# a lot of putrid slush at The j
it. In fact, we havn’t got much
respect for the man who walks up
to the hallot box like an obedient
slave and casts a straight un
scratched party ticket all his life.
The man who does that is not
much more than a brute. He al
lows other people to do his think
ing for him and he merely acts as
they direct, just as a horse goes to
the right or left as the driver pulls
the rein. We have never sur
rendered our individuality to any
man or set of men, and we never
expect to do so. We do our own
thinking, form our own opinions,
say what we please and act as we
think is right—and we never con
sult Col. Skinem, Maj. Tightwad
or Capt. Skypilot to see what they
think about it, either.
And there are other things w7e
don’t do, which Brother Water
man can’t say with a clear con
science. We won’t slip around in
the dark, for a little filthy lucre,
and knife the Democratic party.
Neither will we, for a free pass,
a little spending money and a meal
ticket at a summer resort, gather
up our duds and sneak off when
there is a tight on, just to keep
from showing our colors, and
then come home with an insane
desire to “save the country,” and
begin boasting of our undaunted
and unadulerated Democracy and
go to braying for pie.
