THERE is entirely too much partisan
feeling among a great many people of
this country. Some of our best citizens
very often think their neighbors dis
honest and rascals simply because
they do not agree with them on polit-
ical questions. The American people
are honest and patriotic and while
they disagree on many questions, they
are in favor of the very best govern
ment for the people.

IT Is q curious fact that the only
means the man who is elected to the
presidency of the United States has OF
finding out that fact is through the
newspapers. Every other person
who is elected or appointed to any
office or position under the United
States Government, no matter how
large or small, receives an official
notification. With the President
elect 1t is different, as no proviso for
anything like an official notification
has ever existed.
