Smithtleld Election.

Prior to the recent school election
held in SmithHeld the leaders of the
Republican and Democratic parties
agreed to place a Citizens ticket in
the field, thereby eliminating party
lines so far as this particular election
was concerned.
A convention was called and after a
contest which required ten ballots to
decide, Mr.. James Meikle was declared
the nominee. Inasmuch as leaders of
both parties participated in the con-
ventiOn and IL was the distinct under
standing that the nominee was to be
supported by both parties, subsequent
results at the polls occasion no little
surprise, and considerable criticism
1t appears that certain persons dis
satisfied with Mr.. Meikle's nomina
tion started a boom for Mrs. Bert
Merrill, Democrat, and worked fol
her election so effectively that sht
landed the plum.
THE REPUBLICAN recognizes Mrs
Merrill as an eStimablc lady wei
qualified for the position of schoo
trustee and has naught 10 say agains
her election except so far as IL relates
to the principle involved. If our un
Outstanding is not at fault, some o
her warmest supporters participated
in the convention which nominated
James Meikle, and by that actor
signitied willingness to abide by til,
decision of that convention. In no
doing so, these gentlemen have vic
lated every obligation OF honor, ant
are deserving Of seyerest censure, ant

any town, county or nation, and there
is no necessity of going outside the
party for official timber. However,
since the Smithfield people see 1t in
another way and convention COM
posed of Democrats and Republicans
decided to support nominee of that
convention, who was to run on q
Citizens ticket, the agreement should
have been kept implicitly.
To the Republicans who bolted this
convention and worked for Mrs. Mer-
rill, this affair should and no doubt
will prove boomerang and at some
unexpected time may hit them hard.
The REPUBLICAN believes that the
primary and convention hall are the
places to make the fight, and when
the majority Of a body so assembled
decide on certain line Of action or
places certain man on the ticket,
the minority Is i'm honor bound to
abide by the conventions work. All
private piques and personal objections
should be buried when it comes to
casting the votes, and the winner at
the convention should expect and
receive the individual support of every
man i'm the convention-and an ex-
ceptional obligation is placed on all
when the nomination Is made unani-
nous.
The tiaSco at Smithtield should
prove warning, and lead Republi-
cans to view with disfavor any move
at any time that has "Citizens' !"
ticket as its aim. 1t is better by far
to go along each year and be defeated
overwhelmingly, that it is to join with
the enemy and come out with half a
victory. The mixing of tickets like
mixed drinks, gets the voter in bad
shape and he finally doesn't know to
which party he belongs; loyalty to
party organization becomes dead
thing with him and he is blown where
ever the strongest wind may carry
him. There can be no success in ma
tional affairs without perfect state
and county organization and there
can be no successful state and
county organization without the
same in city and town politics there
fore stay with your party, first last
and always. Don't be picker be-
cause you can't have your way in a
convention, but take your medicine
like man and 60 into the next con-
vention prepared to win.

The wives of the men who frequent
saloons should observe the eXtraordin-
airy improvements being made in the
different places where liquor is sold,
and learn a lesson. The saloon men
spend hundreds and thousands Of dol
lars in fixtures calculated to please the
eye of those whom they wish to be-
come their patrons; the building is
made as attractive as possible, the
walls are papered with the best there
is and are hung with elegant pictures,
large mirrors are to be seen every
where and colored lights are made TO
throw glamour over all, electric fans
are kept in operation, finest of limo
leum is placed on the floor, flowers and
potted plants are to be seen, and the
whole is made as delightful as money
can make it. With such odds to fight
against, the poor wife has reason to
be discouraged, but let her remember
that she possesses charms the equal of
which cannot be purchased-but she
must exercise these charms as does
the saloon man. Unfortunately. the
wife of drinker seldom has the money
to buy costly furniture, fine rugs, cut
glass, etc, but IL she is woman of in
telligence and industry she can give
such touches to even the humblcst
home that the husband will in many
instances be attracted to them rather
than the saloon. Let her look neat
and pleasing as she was wont to do be-
fore she became a wife, let her use the
same little allurements that were so
fascinating then: let her do all this
and more, yet be strong and reliant.
The husband usually knows how weak
he is and there is always in him a
spark that is waiting to be stirred.
Awaken that spark into life and then
lend him helping handle strong
for him, be his sympathetic loving
wife and friend, and your confidence
in him will frequently win out. If it
doesn't you are not to blame, and are
none the worse Off for having tried.

INDUSTRIAL EDITION.

Providing there can be secured the
necessary advertising to make itpay for
itself in measure, The REPUBLICAN
will in September or October issue
5000 copies of an Industrial Edition
printed upon good quality of book
paper and profusely illustrated with
excellent half.tones. The edition will
be devoted to the valleys progress and
its present and typOgraph-
ically is designed to compare favorably
with anything of the kind ever gotten
out in the State. We figure on 40
page production with very attractive
cover, and so filed as to prove of the
greatest value i'm advertising the
Valley.
The affair will cost a goodly sum of
money and will entail voluminous
amount of hard work, but beyond the
prestige resultant from the successful
completion of such an enterprise, THE
REPUBLICAN cares for naught. We
expect it to pay for itself-in fact it
must pay for itself else it cannot be
issued but we feel that the business
men of the valley will see in it such an
opportunity of advertising themselves
and the valley that they will readily
support it.
A REPUBLICAN representative will
call upon you within short time and
it is to be hoped that you may be-
come personally interested to the ex-
tent of lending your financial assist
ance.

The Farmer Boy.

~ tilc INooocNCit itScpUioh uo VIZ
den, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
i'm speaking of farmers and farming
conditions, touched upon the lack of
first class agriculturalists TO take
charge of large farms, saying that
there are thousands Of such farms in
this country needing superintendent,
who cannot be found. In referring
to this condition he suggested that
this failure Of young men to tit them
selves for such positions is due to the
fact that agriculture as pursuit is
looked down upon by many, and the
young men as a natural consequence
prefer to become professional men
doctors, lawyers. engineers, and such
like, to which there Is no imaginary
stigma attached.
Secretary Wilson argued earnestly
against such injustice to the farmers
calling and to the young men who
might otherwise engage In it, and in
sisted that when the same intelligence
and brain capacity Is put into the
farm work as is required in other pro-
fessions, farming becomes science
that is the equal If not the superior
of any of the learned professions. The
delving into and solving of natures
problems relating to the production
of the worlds food supply Is no child's
play, but an exact science that deals
with creation and the Creator. 1t re-
quires brain power sagacity, earnest
ness, industry, perseverance. investl-
cation, study, and Is not the hap
hazard sort of thing it once was
when the ground was scratched and
some seed dropped, with the expecta-
tion that The Lord would do the rest.
The secretary's whole speech was an
urgent appeal to the young man to tit
himself for first-class farm work, and
to stick by the farm.
That there is a dispositio ion OF young
men to forsake the farm for the city
with its extravagances, tawdry splen-
, dor and great temptations is a fact
that Is TO be dcplored, not altogether
for the farms sake, but for the young
men themselves. The young man in
the city or town usually spends fol
