1 hereby announce myi-clf n» a candidate for
the lfficc of Town Marshal of Snyder aubject to
: . the action of the Ocmncrutlc primary April 19
ANDY CoDTKN.
As the towu trustee receives no
. salary and the Denochat desires
to see the best man of the party
in these offices we will print their
announcements free.
Those republicans who have
lueu expecting the president to
uso the “big stick” in favor ol
statehood received a slight jolt
wh.iu the president refused to dis-
cuss statohood with Delegate
McGuire.
The United Htates senate does
iu>t seem to bo so far away from
the people as has lieeu supposed.
It is at least willing to allow us
to govern ourselves after we get
statohood and tho house of repre
aentativos is not'.

to d eive the people they are en-
titled to know it. he must say
that at present it looks had.
, Tho Iudialioma Union Signal
has been denied admission to tbe
mails at second-class rate because
in the language of Edwin C. Mad-
din, third assistant postmaster
general, ‘‘The publication, judged
by the copies submitted, is mere-
ly the organ of The Farmers

Mill 0/d:r Business and
Building Churches.
It is not my purpose to d ifend
(V mail order business, for the
| ' sent I a n not interested iu
that pro or cm. Hut it is l*e-
o lining quite common to tind in
l'.ic paper.! of small towns editor-
iul.i mid selected stories aimed
against this f >rm of out-of-town
trade, tho principal argument ii.
mid literary productions ‘being
•t'lat the l teal b t.siness man sup-
0 .i ts and builds the churches,
1 herefore he ought to have a i
ilie patronage of tin* citizens
,,,iiv in Inhall of the church, I
, ..ject to her being used as a
p.lilting ground for this footbao
local cauunvree. The real
d jwery o! Christ’s Bride comes
front • far different aonree thnn
that of the advertising nhe can
carry on her ls*ck.
There are always two general
classes of givers to the church, or
to any benevolent institution or
enterprise. To one of these be
longs the individual who sees the
worth of the undertaking, the
ethical, intellectual, aosthetical or
physical need of his community
which the enterprise is to alle-
viate, and he gives that the un-
dertaking may become a fact.
Cot only is his money available,
but he gives of his thought and
lis time,(both oftimfes of more
Value tliau the money. He does
not expect a commercial return
nor thinks much of honor at the
hands of liis compatriots, deem-
ing himself well paid if tlie sur-
roundings of liis family are better
and higher, and his only regret is
dint he cannot accomplish more.
Strange to say, however, such
really public-spirited men do re-
ceive, and that without the i rging
of newspaper editorials, the very
rewards which the articles, ol
which I am complaining, urge
should be theirs, for his proven
integrity aid worth is the beit
business surety he can possess.
To this general class of givers also
probably belong the less generous
man who sees clearly enough the
jeed presented to him, but sees
dso the parting with the dollar
he loves. Pathetic is the struggle
.vithin him as he doles out his
small contribution. We look
dinost with contempt upon his
littleness Yet he is more gener-
ms than some others who give
uoro liberally but with a differeut
motive.
All the “tainted money” that
iai passed through tho church
ms not been giveu by the Rocke-
fellers and the Morgans. It
matters not whether a man be
luroliasing honor’, renown, busi
mss or sillvc (?) for bis conscience
.vlion ho gives to the needs of
humanity, because lie is actuated
bv tho same motive, his scheme
s tho same whether his gift b.
.rent or small. M bile because
of humanity’s need, tho church
has al vays received such contri-
butions, perhaps always will, yet
the man who gives to any philan-
thropic cause, that his business
nay ho increased and advertised,
thereby is no more public-spirited
than the mail order devotee and
Iocs not deserve that flie lattei
should give him consideration ii
to cau do hotter elsew here. It is
uicli men who are always com-
olaiuiug for the lack of apprecia-
tion of their gouerosity they re
joivo ou the part of their fellow
jitizons. They remind one of the
Texas land agent who boasted
that he had given more dollars
toward bringing citizeus to the
town, thus building it up, thnu
ill tho rest ol the towu together.
While liis victims said he bad re-
ed ved from ten to a hundred foi
iverv one he li.il used in inducing
them to come.
Too long the church ha t boon
to blame for appealing to tho sel-
ti-.li rather thnu to tho unselfish
instincts of humanity to secure
gifts. W. G. Lano.
