than usual. He first said that the

movement because they couldn't get
what they wanted from either of the
old parties, and then In q few minutes,
In denying the charge that they were
either anarchists or socialists, he said
"Both the old parties advocate the

seem then, that SO far from being un-
able to get what they want from
either of the old parties, they must
find both of them exactly to their lik.

under the impression that this was q

of having gathered here for the third

admitted that their success thus far
had not been exactly dazzling, but
hoped to get the people educated up

which they adopted SO glibly?

IT will be interesting to note how
many members of this convention viii
The Iola register., 1890-08-15

be members Of the Democratic conven-
tion also,-provided one lie held.
-
Frank Power was the only man
there who seemed to know anything
about how q convention ought to be
run. He learned the art when he was
a Republican.
A rising vote on the nominations
ton Of Mr.. Goshorn showed "a dele
gates actually present. That just
about represents the vote the ticket
will get in November.
-.
That good old non-partizan patriot,
Major Bond, of Humboldt, was In ap-
proving attendance and entertained
the delegates with an enumeration of
bis real and personal property.
-.
The list of delegates shows the
names of two or three Republicans,
but we did not recognize one in the
convention. 1t was the old Union
Labor crowd, aggravated by the ad-
mixture of dozen or so Democrats.
*s*
We asked Chairman Aitkin what
had become of the Union Labor party,
of which he has been the priest and
prophet for SO long. 20, there isn't
any Union Labor party any more," he
answered. Mr.. Aitkin can tell a
corpse when he sees it.

Do you take notice that i'm making
their nomination for county attorney
they passed by the only lawyer in the
county who is o farmer and member
of the F. M. B. A., and took up man
who is neither a farmer nor member
of the order? Was there any reason
for this except that Capt. Ewing Is a
and Mr.. Goshorn is a
Democrat? II any more light were
needed to show the animus of this
whole movement, it seems to us to be
by this one act.
~.
The convention acted wisely i'm sit.
ting down OIL the old hacks and max.
ing up their ticket of comparatively
new men. J. NJ. Lindsay is, we be-
lieve, the only man on the ticket who
ever ran for Office before. He was the
Democratic-Union Labor candidate
for county clerk last year, and we be-
lieve he was candidate for some 9TH
er Office once before that. He is a
nice young fellow, though, for all that,
and deserves better fate than to be
as he seems to be, to polit-
ical blindness. He was not present at
the convention, and we do not know
whether he will accept the nomination
or not. All the other names on the
ticket arc those of men who are well
esteemed personally. Mr.. J. B.
Goshorn is the new attorney lately
located at Moran. He is pleasant
gentleman, but an irreclaimable Dem
crat. We have not the honor of q per-
sonal acquaintance with either Mr..
Travis or Mr.. Allen, but they look
like honest men. Both of them, we ul-
have affiliated heretofore
with the Union Labor party. T.E.Kel-
ley is the only Republican on the tick
st, and he was placed there without
his knowledge. He has not made up
his mind yet whether to accept 1t or
not and our guess is that if he does
accept he will not work at 1t very
hard. For one thing he likes Mr..
Barber and thinks he deserves a re-
slection; for another he thinks Mr.. b
will be reelected whoever runs
against him, and for another thing it
kind o. worries him to work i'm any
other than Republican harness. Be-
sides he has good job now and is
very strongly disposed to hold onto it.

In thoroughly sound and readable
editorial on "Town Life" the Novem
Der Chautauquan deplores the ten
dency of people in the smaller Amer
lean towns to despise their own sur
roundings instead of striving to i'm
prove and build them up. We quote
The idea, for which Americans are
abused 50 much, that only that life is
successful which is growing richer
and buster, is partly at fault. Unless
there is a rush of business, boom in
building, and constant inflow of pop
ulation, there is tendency to con
clude that the town has ''had its day"
and that the quicker one escapes, the
better. The opposite is true. When
the booming Of town ceases, then
comes the real opportunity of making
it desirable place, of putting ideas
into it and of building up social life,
of refining its manners and correcting
its crudities.
Loyalty to the town interests is fire.
quently defective. There is always a
large number of citizens who in talk
ing of any public movement say "they
are doing so" not we. Other towns
appear to them superior to their own.
They compare them not for the sake
of improving their own but to show
their contempt for their home town.
If the citizens in a community have
not sufficient loyalty to appreciate it's
attractions, to develop its possibilities,
and to strengthen it's weaknesses, it is
certain that outsiders will not come in
to do the work. Loyalty to ones own
was vigorously enforced in settling the
colonial villages. So necessary was it
thought by these stern and clear-head
ed Puritans that every thing pertain
ing to the well-being of the commun-
ity be respected, that any contempt
was promptly punished. Leading
citizens were especially cherished. The
story is told that the Saco authorities
fined man for saying that Major
Phillips horse is lean as an Indian
dog" The major was light OF the
town. Neither he nor anything of his
could be spoken of lightly without
detriment to the community. More of
this respect for the ablest people
would improve most American com
munities. The strongest men and
women not infrequently cease to take
active part in town affairs because of
the contempt and interpretation
which they meet from the masses of
the citizens. 1t seems to be part of
the gospel of democracy to nag and
irritate them. All individual superior
ity contributes to the general tone.
TO fail to appreciate and to encourage
the efforts Of the intelligent, the rich,
the good, is to deprive the community
