WHAT IS A PARTY /?

A political party is a conglomeration
of independent units, whose only bond
is common purpose and protection.
The same definition will apply equally
to herd of cattle or band of horses.
A political party is mixture as dis
tinguished from chemical union.
Like a sand bank it may defy the
waves as long as the particles remain in
body, but which the wind can move
one by one and roll up in great hills.
Each unit of party moves about in
side the limits and is therefore part of
the party. But when it gets outside it
is by itself, just like the stray from the
herd. Sometimes a lot of them stray
and then there is new herd. Someti mes
most of them; stray off together and
then what is left-is the remainder.
Just now, there are several If not
more, parties, all claiming to be the Re-
publican party, each following some
leader. They are not SO far apart that
they cannot get together, but when the
wolves come, will they get together or
will they still stay separate
Primaries occur in June. We shall
see what we shall see.

THE LOST WIGWAM AGAIN

Editor Hager of the st. Thomas
Times seems to take the subject of the
status of che lost wigwam t. heart, and
delivers quite breezy, not to say windy
editorial in last weeks paper, and has
considerable to say personal to us.
In our editorial on this subject of
what is party loyalty, we did not at
tempt so much to answer the question
as to show some of the difficulties in
answering it.
The great difficulty in the solution of
this issue, as previously pointed out in
this paper in the discussion of the prim-
ary law, is that it is impossible to define
what party is. just as in the primary
law an attempt is made togovern parties
while no attempt is made to define and
limit the term, SO in deciding as to party
loyalty it must first be shown what and
where the party is, before we can prove
or disprove where the "Indian'' is.
Editor Hager makes certain profess
sions of faith and says, that is Republi-
canism. He also claims that he acts
and votes as pleases himself without re-
ference to the opinions of the majority
of the party, provided he thinks they
are wrong. And this makes him all the
better Republican.
There is an old fable, that runs about
this wise. A certain man had two sons;
to one he said s'Go thou and do such a
matter" and the sun said 'sYea father, -
and went his way but did not what his
father commanded. The father said to
the second son; "Go thou and do such a
matter" And the son said 'sNay father
will not CO." but he went did as his
father had told him. And the fable
asks which, if either, was the most obed-
lent son?
Personally, and we think most peo-
pie will agree with us, we believe that a
man who processes to be Republican
and habitually votes the Democratic
ticket-to say the least, is not very filial
to his professed affiliations. .'By their
works ye shall know them" is just as
true in politics as in religion. sHe
that is not for us IS against u.s.
But Editor Hager takes this writer up
as horrible example. In the first
column Of his article the reader would
infer that we were one Of those "who
follow blindly the dictates of the party
machine or cringes in fear at the crack
Of the party lash welded BY unprincjpl-
ed and corrupt bosses" !" which ia some-
what OF . linguistic sentence.
