to her for a good many years, as You

THE REGISTER is not newspaper we

Democrats should take it. We know OF
no stronger political paper, and it has
long been recognized by the public as
the most enterprising journal In this
section of the country. We have more

instead of 'ferninst" US.

1t seemed to put a premium on lying. We
do not wish to assert that we think all men
are liars or even a large per cent, but 1t Is
sometimes rather OF q temptation for the
cash. But out OF our needs there has grown
a great demand for a better and more direct
way of doing business between the manu-
facturer and consumer on a cash basis
which problem has happily been solved
through the Patrons Commercial Union.
where we can deal direct without this
middle mans per cent and no danger OF loss
TO either manufactures, wholesaler or
Patron.
Now the great problem or question. Mr..
Editor did you ever wake up to the fact that
you were 81 years old and that you had a
legal right to call your father ''Old man"
and let your name run for path-master, and
do you remember how bad you wanted the
| Office and how much better you could make
the boys work the roads than the old man
| couldP Well II you have perhaps you can
| sympathize with the Patrons who have
woke up to the fact that we are at least
100, 900 strong and are anxiOus to grab the
| old ship of state by the wheel and lift her
clear out of the mud and do it with a rush.
| for we are really of the opinion that those
| who have run the machine of late have run
IL altogether too much in the mud as there
seems to be altogether too much scum on
the wheels for a newly awakened man like
the Patron. But perhaps the scum is yet
in our own eyes. Be this as 1t may, the
Patron has woke up and We shall hear from
him later. But as to result that can only be
a matter of conjecture and yet we do honest
ly believe that II Is good bye to the party
that ignores the Patron. Certainly we have
no cause to complain so far as usage by the
old parties at present is concerned.
No organization that we have ever heard
of accom- lished as much i'm so short a time
as we have in getting representation In all
branches of our State government. But
must close as / realize l am getting too long
in answering SO short u question. But
really we can say truly the half has not yet
been told of the good results of the organi'
cation of the Patrons of Industry Of NORTH
