From the returns of the election last Tuesday shows that the American people are yet sane and that you can't fool all the people all the time. They are sane and do not propose to longer allow their opportunities and the privileges; to drag in the dust the enemy of good government thought they had killed the republican party, but as the Forum said two years ago, the republican party had not served out its usefulness and that her principles are right and therefore, infalible and eternal. Republicanism and sanity, good government and prosperity, have returned, the country is safe. God bless the people, farewell to the party of negation, the minority. A CCMMENDABLE THING The prohibitory rules of Mr. Burns of the Leland hotel of the playing of cards and other games, by the waiters, during their off hours and between times, is commendable and will accrue to much good. It will be well for other head-waiters to adopt this rule, playing cards and dice by the men during their off time is fraught with much danger and leads to no good. Use the spare time in reading or resting or studying how you can best serve the guest to advantage. "Be Ye Doers and not Sayers only."

One of the most essential things right along is sticking to your job, doing what you are also well that the boss cannot find the space with you. And the man or woman who what they are told to do but finds other tasks them, that are helpful to their employer is doubly sure of incurring his favor and a great appreciation often takes a tangible effect kept employed even when business is still really little need for your services. And anything you undertake is to have the most in your mind. There are some whoir task in the morning before the are wish ever and and with whom the hours drag like. Such a man or woman is of little use to her and the quicker they are gotten rid of them, financially and otherwise. How often saved the career of two young men starting bottom doing the same kind of work. Then, one is still at the bottom, the other has longer or perhaps a partner. And why? Because he was not working by time; if he began a few minutes earlier or worked a few minutes it made no difference to him. He was merely his salary.

The habit indulged in by young men at balls, has become abominable. If the average young man knew how awful he looks and how silly he acted, dressed up in his best clothes, under the influence of liquor, he would never take another drink at a public ball or intertain- ment. ‘They take liquor, pre- sumably, to “nerve up” or for “courage” for boldness. No de- cent lady should attend balls if the young men are to get drunk, What condition is a young man who is drunk in to accompany a young woman home? But, if the young ladies acquiesce in this spices of law- lessness and moral decadence, they dre no better, if as good, as the young men. It should not be tolerated by the parents, either, it must be stopped. Edgar C. Pruitt : ; v \ é ® Re-elected County Superintendent of Public Schools Andrew Russel ; | F. G.

Brown Hotel 3327 SPRINGFIELD The rally last Friday at Masonic Hall by the Colored republicans was the largest in ten years and conspicuous for its enthusiasm and representation of the best people. The house was jamed to overflowing and every candidate on the 9 senatorial and congressional ticket was out and made splendid, effective and intelligent talks, non-vituperative and void of personalities. The meeting was presided over by Attorney C. S. Gibbs, and Mr. Gibbs, in his inimitable manner interspersed with wit and humor, presented each candidate, after giving each man a send off. The parade in the Negro district and down Washington street, illuminated by fireworks, was a brilliant and magnificent thing. The Greater Springfield Band led the march and furnished music for the occasion. Everybody is talking about the meeting and those who were a little lukewarm on some of the republican candidates, were converted and have come over to the G. O. P. The speech of Dr. Vernon is pronounced to be the greatest treat the Colored people of Springfield have ever before been the beneficiaries cf. Mr. Vernon is one of the few, if not the ablest and most eloquent, orator in this country, without exception. His was a masterpiece of historical and literary eloquence, and he held the vast audience in rapt attention while he, like some great Demosthenes, spake. Never a man spoke more eloquent. His peroration capped the climax, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians," and too, great is Vernon of Kansas and Mississippi, "O King live forever." We have heard some great speeches but none to excel Vernon's and few to equal his. His illustration of "Sambo" changing his name is magnificent and eloquent beyond our power to express. His historical settings and teche supply of choice English, embelished with fine rhetoric, hold his audiences spellbound. Glad are we, and happy is the race to possess so rich a heritage of this, our gifted son of a former slave, this great orator touring ever up to, if not above, W. J. Bryan, A. J.
