Experience Is
What Counts
It Juts Seen tritely said "ex-
perience js the best teacher.''
The average business man or
farmer if confronted with the
necessity of solving a knotty
legal problem or tilling1 a contract for a large amount of cord-
wood would employ a lawyer of
ripe experience or a sawyer,
not a novice fresh from the
academic halls of a college or a
sweet voiced singer. What is
true of the individual business
is no less true of the public's
business and sadly has experience taught the American voter
tlie folly of entrusting'' liis business to inexperienced representatives. The" value of experience
as a teacher is vividly brought
home to the Republicans Of the
Sixth congressional district
this year. In L902 and again in
15.104 the wisdom of the choice
of the voters of the Sixth district was clearly shown in tlie
accounting made by C. B. Buck-
man during his two terms in
congress. The results he obtained were remarkable. He did
not attempt to electrify nations
with flights of oratory. He did,
however, go to work to promote and care for the interests
of flu.' people who sent him to
congress His four years of experience especially lit him to
return to the national body. He
is full}'equipped to cope with
the big questions of the day,
never for a moment losing sight
of the needs of his constituents.
