POLITICS.
We ften hear it mentioned that,
""Hiere is nothing 'in politics,''
so snay it appear to them. By
jpriiitics ard political parties is
aceamt the means embodying the
actions of men through which
the government ofa country is
administered. The books say
hz&, ""political means pertaining
il iSie policy or the administra
tion of government; political, in
its ihigher and true sense, means
ihafc which pertains to the gov
ernment of a nation. In this
sense it includes the entire system
of a nation's laws, constitutional
sandstatutory." "Political rights
consists in the power to partici
pate directly or indirectly, in the
"establishment or management of
SgoFwernment. " "Political power
ccsasists of the three great attri
lirj&es of sovereignty, namely,
legislative, executive, and judi
ast authority. "
. This is all inherent in the peo
g&e. Why then do we hear men

rticsT Only one answer can pos- unto us. We may look back and
jsMylie given, that is the one so think we know where they made

The law of Heaven is obedience.
The Universe is held by the same
law. Every earthly government
must ' rtcogn'ze - the same or
an.trchy and ruin will be its
shameful distruction.. No home
will ever be worthy of the name
without the same law recognized
by every member of . the house
hold., ..Disobediences under any
government dare not gounpunish-
td. Rebellion is crime and must
be justly punished, otherwise no
government can stand. The
students of our common schools
must be subject to the rules and
regulations that are laid down
for the governmehf of the school.
The law delegates to, the teacher
the right to enforce the law, using
whatever reasonable means that
wisdom may dictate, in govern
ing his school, and when this
power is properly used it seems to
me to be the duty of parents to
stand by their teacher.
God gives the child parents and
gives the parents a responsibility
for which we must answer. We
a1! are thankful today for all the

It Is more necessary in a re
pEMiean or democratic form of
?gmernment that two substantial
gfflStical parties shall exist' and
lie strongly maintained than only
one. In view of this great truth
rMng out of the necessity for
. ear 'existence as a nation, the
democratic and republican parties
Ihase been strongly entrenched
in tlie hearts of our people for
lull a century. The other par
ties Tvhich often spring up for a
srsjrt time have a slight growth
agitate, do some good at times;
arouse the older parties to con
sider old questions again which
3iave at various times beencon
ssi&ered and passed out of notice.
11 would seem that there issome
hmg in politics when we learn
4he truth. How then can a man
fee a republican or democrat in
national and state elections and
in local elections the opposite?
. It would be as consistent to find
a man serving his great Creator
on Sunday and other selected
times, and a worldly; wicked life
ai other times. In politics are
embodied the principles of gov
ernment state, local and nation
al, which makes our country a
failure, or us proud of its history
and progress.
ing. it our parents did ttieir duty
on every line where they had
understanding we are exceeding
ly thankful and would not have
missed one stroke of the rod ap
plied bv a loving hand, that has
long ago departed from us. The
same hand that labored and toil
ed for our support, physically and
often smoothed our troubled brow
ana . field our little Hand as we
walked over dangerous places and
caught us as we were falling,
that hand also applied the rod of
correction fcr the purpose of our
security trotn trie evil mat so
thickly surrounded us.
Said Archie Brown on the scaf-
told in rortland a lew years ago:
''I was a disobedient boy, as a
result of my disobedience I am
to be hanged.',' Brown's case, is
repeated among us too often.
Disobedience toward the teacher,
encouraged by the parents; dis
obedience toward the parent, then
the" downward course is rapid.
Disobedience and disrespect for
law must be punished whether in
home, schoolroom, state or nation.

"Much indeed is expected of

in Which the jewel is guarded,
lest ;from want of proper care it

little children is a jewel placed

Then how great should be the

A meeting was held at North Palestine
church Saturday to consider the advisa

system throngh the Wells community
; Tin Bhoor came in due season, and
those who 'had taken time by the fore

Mr. John May berry who, has been

returned home Saturday. .
Rev. Lauver is still continuing his

The examinations begin today in pub

Mayberry, and Ben Mc Elheney, andfwe
hope they may be snccegsful.
County court meets Saturday, and from
general talk one is led to believe that
Oak Grove will be well represented at the
meeting, as there seems to. be quite an
interest taken in regard to the appoint
ing of road supervisor for this district.

Good printing is correct in
spelling correct in gram
marcorrect in punctuation
on good stock printed
with good ink and some
thing that it is a pleasure to
look at.
That is the kind
the Gazette turns
out.
Prices for good printing are
based on the cost of good
material, and the labor and
taste employed in doing the
work. To this every printer
adds a percentage for profit.
The cheap printer charges
the same profit as the good
printer the difference in
cost to you comes out of the
value of the material used
in fact you pay. for all you
get.
Skill, taste and ex
perience are ne
cessary factors in
producing GOOD
printing.
Examine your work, and
don't pay for it until you
know it is all right. It is
your own fault' if you pay
"good money for rotten eggs.
