M In concluding an impassion ed speech to a, religijqs assemb lage four years ago in a 'Kansas town.'; J. Ralph Barton, then an aspirant, for senatorial honors declared: ' "The richest legacy that man can leave to man is th memory of an honored name and ' the inheritance of a good example," Today, the. author of t. those noble , sentiments - walks1 J the 'streets of Washington .' (disci-edited and friendless ' Since':. he was branded by a Federal !- jury at St Louis! less than a year ago as a bribe taker he has grown inoroee and despondent. ::To an intimate friend he. .remarked the other day that regardless , o! whether he served autermtin the Federal penitentiary or (joot in expiation of the charges made against him, or whether the Iwas acquitted later on of the, charge of accepting bribes be . coold never' efface the stigma placed upon his.name and reputation. Iam a- rained, .ican.". said in a trembling voice, my friends have deserted me and I am virtually an outcast'' ' VK" When the senator gaye utter-r ancesto these expressions .he doubtless recalled his 'admoni tion to his constituemts in Kan sas te live ? an honorable - life. To be friendless is a dreadful thing! but Id have ''once' held 0 a high position and been the idol ot a million and a half of. con- stituents who were ever . ready to dance attendance, upon his every wish and then to be sud denly ( Stripped of f, influence, power, adulation, confidence and respect and to be shunned by those who formerly courted him is a more dreadful cundi-v tlOn : . ?

He might have attempted to have represented his constit-j uenta on the floor of the senate had it not been for a remark made by the venerable senator Qeorge Hoar of Massachusetts, that it would not be proper for a man with so serious a charge pending against him to enter the senate cbsmber aud partici pate in the enactment of laws for the' government of the peo ple of the country, - - - - fh new year will soon be here and thja will be a good time to make a resolution to quit kicking about the town and join the. glad, hand club, and begin shaking hands with your self and demonstrating to your neighbors that you are glad you are a live and dad you live in La Graude,'l 0,! ' Every one should begin now to prepare themselves for the great era of prosperity which is sure to strike this town early in the year of 1905. It is coming jast as sure as' Grande Ronde valley , j produces,, big i apples. Those who are ready (to receive their share of this great wave will have reason, to be happy and those who ire too slow to rnnw "791 :z.r nMvu iu rives will " continue to wonder why they are not on the road to projpV.rity . and will very likely, put up wail about the op opression the massed and tend ency of the times to keep , the poor man down. if lci im- W do a general hanking and exchange business. 11 D r rafts'bonght and sold o earternand (oredgn baake.
