q
tainty that the reunion of the diff
ferent councils of the order of the
Jr. O. q. A. NJ. will be held at
Selbysport on July 4th. All mem
bers of the order and fair minded
outsiders are cordially invited to he
present. Brethren let us all be
present, and together rejoice over
the magnificent work accomplished
by our wonderful order. We have
a right to celebrate, to rejoice and
be glad oyer the past. but, my
friends, there are possibilities be-
fore us that should command our
attention. Come out on the 4th
and learn what those possibilities
are. AS is well known we are an
organization faithfully striving for
purposes so patriotic as those enun-
GATED in the declaration Of princi-
piles of the Jr. O. L. A. M, must
command both the admiration and
the respect of intelligent people,
teaching to young and to old alike
that the fabric of free representa-
tive government must be main
tanned by an unselfsh devotion to
the doctrines of Virtue, Liberty
and Independence; making love of
country and loyalty to its flag the
controlling impulses of every par
ticipatlon in public affairs; defend
ing zealously the integrity and pur-
ity of the great American system of
education for all il schools free
from the impregnations of preju-
dice and teaching by precept and
practice the generous and tender
mInistering of earnest fellowship of
honest sympathy and of wise benev-
olence. The Jr. o. U. A NJ. is
destined to achieve enduring onor
for itself and increasing benefits
for those included in the constantly
growing circle of its influence. |
know all visitors will receive COM
pound interest.
we hear so many OF our Repub'
lican friends complaining of bad
candidates and saying they will not
attend the primaries this fall, CIV
ing what they think and say as
good reasons. They do not stop
long enough to consider that they
as individuals are as much to blame
for the nominations as any other
man in the party, by not attending
the primaries. Under the present
rules of our party it is possible for
the majority of its voters to elect
the delegates who will nominate its
candidates and indicate its policy.
1t goes without saying that under
the circumstances It is the duty of
every loyal Republican earnestly
DESTROYS of the success of this party
and Its principles to attend the pri-
maries and cast his vote honestly
and intelligently. In many respects
it Is more important to attend the
primaries than the general election,
for the former de ermine absolutely
whether good or bad candidates
shall be chosen, while the latter,
if the primaries are neglected, may
only offer a cnoice of poor candi-
dates. 1t will not do to remain
away from the primaries and then
kick because the nominees result
ing therefrom are not so much upon
the men WHO voted at the prima-
ries as upon those who stay away.
If the result does not suit the latter
the least they can do is to pocket
the disappointment occasioned by
their own delinquency and yield a
loyal support to the party as a fit
ting amend therefor. Now this is
my honest opinion, whether ac-
cepted or not.
Business is far with brighter
prospects for wool.
Wonder if Jake meant what he
said about little Johnny B. FAY last
week? If he did | will tell him
when | see him that there is but one
more report to make out during his
term of Office and he should let lit
tie Johnny feel good just once. Do,
Jake.
