responsible capacity Of vice president OF
the Natioral bank. This is not only a
lucrative position, but one of honor. re-.
sponsibility and trust, and one that sell
dom comes to a man OF Mr.. Shower
mans years.
His advancement in banking circles
has been rapid. He grew to manhood in
Paw Paw, and while yet boy entered
the employment OF the Paw Paw Savings
bank. He served ia this institution for
a period of 20 years and two years ago
was appointed state bank examiner. In
this capacity he proved his real worth,
and the fact that the department placed
him 10 complete charge of every bank
failure in the state during the past year
or more is ample evidence of his ability
and standing with the officials of the
department, who are 10th to part with
his services.
Mr.. Showerman will assume his new
duties about the first of July and Mrs.
Showerman and Tudor will follow soon,
when that place will be their permanent

LawtOn the Mecca for
Van Buren, Co. Students
Saturday.
lAWTON WON THE BALL GAME
Willis Was the Whole Works. Bio om-
ingdaIe Sluggers at His Mercy.
Hit for a Home Run.

Saturday last was great day for the
schools of the county, as we'll as for the
village OF Lawton. 1t was the county
Field day and the first time this impor-
tant event has been held in Lawton. The
day was ideal and an immense crowd
saw the sports.
As usual the interest centered in the
ball game between Lawton and Bloom
ingdale. These two teams had won the
right in the preliminary series to battle
for the championship of the county.
The general feeling before the game
was that Bloomingdale would easily win
the honors, but they did not reckon
with their host. They did not know
what Willis, the elongated twirler of
the Lawton team had up his sleeve.
The game had not progressed far, how
ever, until the great crowd of rooters
knew that real ball game was in pro-
gress. Lawton scored in the first when
"Pint" Abbot the dimunitive left fielder
in wild dash crossed the rubber.
There was nothing doing again unGil
the sixth, when Willis to make his game
sure, swung on one that looked good to
him, and when it had been dug out of
left field, Willis and another runner
ahead Of him, had crossed the rubber,
and the score was 3 to O. Blooming
dale put two across in the seventh, and
played desperately for the balance Of
the game to tie up the score. Willis
was getting better all the time, however,
and there was nothing doing The final
score stood Lawton to Bloomngdale 2,
and Lawton or Willis rather, had won
the cup.
1t was impossible to complete the list
OF scheduled events before dark. and
the directors decided to postpone the
balance Of the program until Saturday
June 22.
This was not Paw Paws year in
athletics, A total OF llA points was
all the boys could land. They are not
discouraged however, and will go after
the events hard again next year.

volunteered to rise before his usual

son to the school in a wagon and
call for him in the evening. Nc
MILAN refused.
The Knobelochs took the matter
before w. r. Bender, st. Louis

and Bender promised to help him.
Mcmillan steadily refused and gave
Bender his reasons. Knobeloch
again went to see Superintendent
Bender and pleaded to let the boy
return to school, saying it was his
boys only chance for an education.

HAS SHOWN RATHER GOOD
WORK FOR AN AMATEUR

Isn't 1t about time to have done
with that particular kind of crit
icism of Woodrow Wilson which is
expressed by calling him an anna
teur politician?
In New Jersey, as everyone
knows, he has made monkeys of
the professionals. He has put
through mass of legislation
against their wishes, and he has ov-
erwhelmed them at the polls.
In the national campaign he has
succeeded in uniting the Democra-
CIV as it has not been united since
1892. Gold Democrats, Silver
Democrats, Eastern, w st ern,
Northern and Southern Democrats
they are all united behind him.
Could the most astute professional
politician do better?
In this campaign. with so abnor-
mally shrewd an opponent as
Roosevelt against him. he has so
conducted himself that one of the
most restrained newspapers Of the
country has truthfully said of him
mot a flaw has been found in
his record by his opponents, and
his fair ard reasonable attitude to-
ward all the great problems of the
day makes thousands of converts
10 his cause daily. Not since the
days of Lincoln has there appeared
in public life a man who showed
such a firm intellectual grasp of
the difficult situation confronting
him. No longer do we hear sneers
about "the schoolmaster." Gov
ernor Wilson has proved himself
distinctly a statesman and man OF
affairs, and the confidence felt in
him and his prospective election
is indicated by the business activ-
ity and prosperity reported from
all sides"

things is an amateur, then II is

SHORT SKETCH OF
THE THIRD PARTY
And Who Constitutes 1t,
BY Gov. Wilson.
MADE UP OF THREE ELEMENTS
Which Are Apt:y Described
Only Thing Remaining
to Choose Between.
KINDLY STATEMENT OF CASE
(By Woodrow Wilson. }

(By Woodrow Wilson,
There is new party which it is
difficult to characterize because it
is made up of several elements. As
| see it, it is made up of three ele-
ments in particular. The first con-
sists of those Republicans whose
consciences and whose stomachs
could not stand what the regular
Republicans were doing. Added to
this element are great many men
and women of noble character and
of elevated purpose who believe
that this combination OF forces
may in the future bring them out
on a plane where they can accom-
plish those things which their
hearts have so long desired. | have
no word of criticism for them.
Then, there is a third element in
the new party of which the less
said the better. To discuss 1t
would be interesting only if'I could
mention names and | have forbid
den myself that indulgence. We
have in this party two things, a po-
litical party and body of social
reformers.
Mr.. Roosevelt puts forth an ad-
mirable platform of what he would
like to do for the people; but how
is he going to do it? He proposes
in his platform not to abolish mo-
nopoly, but to take it under the
legal protection Of the Government
and to regulate it; in other words,
to take the very men into partner
ship who have been making it i'm
possible to carry out these great
programmes by which all of US
wish to help the people. 1t is per-
fectly idle TO talk of doing things
when your hands are tied for you
so long as the men who now control
the industry of the country contin-
lie to control it. Now, we don't
want to disturb the industry of the
country. We are not here to de-
stroy the industry which these men
have built up. But We are here to
destroy the control over the indus
try of other people which these men
have established, and which makes
it impossible that We should give
ourselves a free field of service.
There are two programmes. The
Democratic programme is this-to
see to it that competition is so reg
ulated that the big fellow cannot
put the little fellow out of business,
for he has been putting the little
fellow out of business for the last
half generation. The programme Of
the third party is to take these big
fellows that have been putting the
little fellow out of business. and
regulate them, saying, that is
right, you have put the other fell
lows out of business. but we are not
going to put the little fellows back
where you destroyed them, but we
are going to adopt you and say,
you run the business of the coun-
try, but run it the way we tell you
to run it" The only thing you
have to choose between, therefore,
is this; Are you going to have
fresh brains injected into the bus
mess of this country, and the best
men win, or are you going to make
the present combinations perma-
nent?
