National Progressive Committees.
as we'll as the friends of Col Roose-
velt in several states, have felt and
do feel that it was both wise and
necessary to nominate a full ticket
| in the various states.
Anyone who is in earnest will re-
call the fact that political move
ments fail where there is no organ
lied effort upon the part of the sup
porters of the party. Col. Roose-
velt's friends realize that the organ
ization of a third ticket. immediate
ly places him upon an equal basis
with the other two great organiza-
tions who now have, as he will
have, an organized force in round
numbers of 10000 workers, who are
candidates for township, county, dis
trict and state offices.
On the other hand the failure OF
such third party ticket would leave
the progressive movement with thir-
teen electors (some of whom now
appear to be opposed to third state
ticket) and few county committee
men as their only organized work
ing force.
Again, the failure to put forward
a third ticket, puts the entire state
of Iowa in an attitude of very feeble
protest against the wrongs perpe-
trated at Chicago.
The primary law of Iowa demands
that at least 2 per cent of the en-
tire vote cast at general election
shall be cast for party candidate
for governor. in order to entitle
such party to place on the ticket
at the next succeeding primary, and
in the event that no party ticket be
placed in the field this fall, it will
be impossible for the progressives to
secure their political rights in the
primaries in 1914.
The voters feel that no man sur
renders his political independence
who boldly says to the public and to
himself, that he is doing right in
refusing to be bound by the actions
of theft and fraud at Chicago, and
in refusing to listen to the crack of
the whip welded by these self-ap-
pointed bosses, who would have him
assist the thieves in making away
with and dividing the spOils,
The real progressives should be on
the alert and be present at the
county convention August 81, to de-
feat the we'll defined plans of these
political bosses who in the language
of Col. Roosevelt in referring to
Murray Crane, are cuttletish who
muddy the waters, thus befogging
the issue so that they themselves
may escape.

Parks Must be Respected.

Eds. FreemanTribune The un-
dersigned has the care of both the
court house and city parks and has
never made any complaint. but I
wish to say that people driving
stock along the street should guard
against the stock running over the
grass and flowers in the parks. Peo-
pie are also asked to take care of
the paper and trash they take into
the parks. Visitors will not be per-
mitted to take melons, bottles, tin
cans or anything OF that kind on
the grounds The county supervis-
ors and city officials are authority
for the statement that the park
grounds must be respected.

A SUCCESSFUL
INSTITUTE
One of the Most Successful Insti-
tutes Ever Held in Hamilton
County Comes to
e.. Close.
A TOTAL ENROLMENT OF $50.
Teachers are Loud in Praise of In
structors Secured and Also
of Prof. Snow.
TOTAL ENROLMENT OF $50.

saturday closed one of the most
successful Institutes ever held in
Hamilton county. There has been
in all an enrolment of $50. The
deepest interest and enthusiasm has
been displayed throughout the en-
tire six days SO much so that spec
ial classes were organized and the
teachers asked the privilege of re-
naming to work after the regular
program. The faculty more than
met the highest expectations.
Our teachers are always glad to
meet Prof. Kelly and his work this
year was up to the usual standard.
In bidding the teachers farewell he
recited little poem, pat and the
OWL" which caused much merri-
ment and lightened the general
feeting of sadness which pervaded
the institute at the thought of part
ing with the splendid corps of in
structors who had been with them
throughout the week.
Prof. Smith, the instructor in mu-
sic and geography, awakened many
new lines of thought for the teach
ers and showed that he had made a
deep study of his subjects. He also
gave several lectures which were
much enjoyed.
Prof. Stout, who taught economics
and didactics, was highly appretiat-
ed His class work siwas clear and
concise. He was here to help the
teachers. His lectures were inter-
esting, instructive, inspiring.
Probably no one instructor has
ever pleased our people more than
has Mrs. Hattie Moore Mitchell of
Des Moines. Supt. Kelly voiced the
opinion of the entire institute at
chapel Saturday rorning when he
said: ''The influence Mrs. Mitchell
has with those with whom she
works cannot be expressed in
words" Those who listened to her
lectures each day cannot help but
go out better men and women for
the inspiration received from this
kindly, lovable woman. Her lect-
ure Friday evening was largely
attended. The audience gave her
the closest attention and it was pro-
nounced one of the best lectures of
the season. The teachers one and
all are hoping she may be with US
another year. At the close of the in
stitute the teachers expressed their
hearty thanks to Prof. Snow, our
able and efficient county superin-
tendent, for the unusually success
ful, interesting and instructive ses-
sion which has been held at this
time.
