Well, I now reckon the newspapers will get some rest from writing Register, register, register," and the people will get some rest from reading it. If every voter has not registered it is nobody's but his, and he need not say so either. It will not be long till some' men who now hold offices will be turned out and other raen put in their places, while, of course, many of the officers wUl stay where they are. Politics is a mighty dangerous thing to fool with.

A man may spend his whole life trying to rise I high-in- political fame, and when he is 'old, and his head is gray, luck will be against him, and he will be turned out to begin life anew in his old age. The saddest looking object to me is to see a disappointed politician trying to survive the blow and make a living, but some of them have a fat job. They get to office by their own shrewdness and then sell out and pocket the money. If they can be successful for a little while they can realize enough from the sale of their vote, their influence, or their principle to keep them the remainder of their days, if they do die in disgrace, Most all of that kind of men will be found out sometime, but it is generally too late to do the county any good.

One other thing hurts the farmers, which ought to be, and can be, remedied.

Just as soon as a boy gets old enough (and sometimes before), he wants to leave the farm and go to town. It weakens the farmers, and often these boys who have no one to look after them in their new homes, fall into bad habits, and dissipation soon winds them up a shattered wreck. It all has a cause, and what is it It is easily answered, and here is the answer: "Our coun iry homes are not as attractive as they should be made-" We should have good orchardp, good Btock and everything nice, so that home would have more attraction for a wayward youth than any he could find in any-other place. The farmer boy should be made to feel that his place is one to be envied. He should have his sports, and not be held back in his desire to go forward, and he will make a man some day.
