Woman's Civic Club at the Park.

Patrons and friends of Mt. Lake Park
and of the Woman's Civic Club will be
glad to know that they are once again
to have the opportunity and pleasure
of attending another Civic Club
Lawn Fete These fetes have been a
delightful feature of the Park for a
number of years and every effort is be-
ing made to make this one especially
attractive. The splendid work accom-
plished by the ladies of the Civic Club
in identifying the Park, in adding to its
natural attractions, golf links, tennis
courts, and bowling alleys, speaks for
itself and we feel that each and every
one will be glad to assist in the work
so ably started. Those who in previous
years have attended the lawn fete need
no urging. Those who have never been,
have in store for them a treat. Ice
cream, the finest home made candy and
cake, fish pond stocked with mYsteri-
ously shaped fish, fancy table that
each year becomes more famous for its
wonderful bargains and beautiful works
of art. Special features of interest to
the children as well as to those who are
older. A Mother Goose" pantomine
entitled Little Peggy's Dream" will
be given by the children of the Park in
the old auditorium at $3.50 O'Clock
Bring the children.

can party, the democratic party or the
new party, best meets his idea of govern
ment; and whether he can best bring
about the desired end by remaining
member of one of the old parties or by
becoming a member of the new. For
there is no question about it one cannot
remain a member of one of the old
parties and at the same time claim al
leglance to the new. There IS more
difference between the new and either
OF the old than their is between the old
parties. This is what will make the
new party live, if it lives at all.
We have good deal of admiration
for the one who boldly sets out to sail
the unknown sea; but think little of the
one who attempts to launch his boat
with one end of a rope attached to it
and the other end firmly attached to the
land ITO be or not to be is the question. y

A DIVIDED HOUSE

A long time ago it Was said, "A house
divided against itself cannot stand. 5"
At the present time-there is no deny
ing 1.-THE Republican party is split in
twain. For half century this great
party.has been strong cohesive organi-
zation, which hasscontrolled the policy
of the country.." What progress has
been accomplished in that time, in so
far as governmental policies promote
progress, is due to the Republican party.
1t must also accept the failures that
come from the same source.
The Republican party has a glorious
history. 1t has enacted great many
wise and progressive laws While we
do not believe in living in the past, we
do believe that we have no way of
judging the future except bv the past
The very fact that the Republican party
has successfully met and solved great
economic questions in the past guarantee
that it will continue to do so. We must
confess, however, that the party is i'm
portant because it is, ssand not because it
was, But we believe even though it be
measured by this standard, it will not
fall short.
The Democratic party has been the
great opponent of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
They have met and,fought many battles,
notably among which were secession,
slavery, the tariff, free silver, imperial
ism, and many of less Importance. In
every one of these contests the Republl-
can party has been the victor, and the
judgment of mankind, by even many of
those who fought against it is, that it
has been right in all these contests.
A third party, of more potential force
than any new party since the Republi-
can:party, has been launched. 1t re-
mains to be seen what this new party
will accomplish. Such a party is the
outgrowth of the ultra-radical ideas
that have existed among the two old
parties. 1t perhaps would not have been
launched this year had it not been for
the bitter fight waged within the ranks
of the Republican party. In any event
it would, sooner or later, have been
formed. Those who are EXTREMITY radical
and yet too conservative for Socialism
must have some avenue or channel
through which they may direct their
energies.
The question that now presents itself
to every member of the Republican
party, and which every member of the
Democratic party viii have to meet
sometime in the future is whether the
principles as advocated by the Republi-

WHAT OAKLAND OWES TO
MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK

THE REPUBLICAN wishes to call at
tention to the necessity of the people of
Oakland and vicinity coming to the help,
even to the extent of some personal
sacrifice and Inconvenience, of the Noun
tam Chautauqua 1t should be remem-
bered that the continued rains through
June, July, and so far in August, and
the extreme cold of the latter part of
July and the first week of August, have
made the patronage very small.
The,program has never been better,
and the entertainment features, entirely
Independent of the great lectures, which
are scheduled for the next few weeks,
would command enthusiastic support
anywhere. When it is realized how
much of the success of this vicinity, to
merchants and farmers, depends upon
the crowds that are brought.here by the
Mountain Lake Park Association, it
ought to appeal to every one that in their
hour of need the Association could
depend upon loyal local support.
THE REPUBLICAN calls attention to
the wonderfully strong program of the
next week or ten days. Two evenings
with one of the greatest magicians of
the land; three evenings of great pic
lures culled from all over the world;
eight or:ten strong. musical programs;
"Old Soldiers Day" and Governors
Day." with every promise, that as last
year at the very last moment, some of
the greatest men of our land may be
persuaded to visit the Park
Let US all take off our coats and roll
up our sleeves and get'to work to give
the Mountain ChautauQua a successful
season even yet. AS they say out West,
Boost, boost. let everybody boost.'
