The Nonpartisan Ticket.

The Nonpartisan Ticket.
1t would appear from a per-
ual of G. P's article against
such an outrage on Society arc
Politics as a nonpartisan ticket
in cur City E ecsicn that the
writer must have q friend who
W. uld be a candidate for an
{ flee, and being t, arful that
he coull not qualify, if all The
people had a voice, and that he
might get a nomination along
partisan lines, that he con.
Iemns the whole as unjust and.
simply a scheme of the crafty
Republicans, that all good
Democrats must avoid lest they
become polluted.
To a fair mind we never
could see any use for political
parties being lined up for such
elections as city elections. We
would thank the gentleman if
he can show US how a high or
low tariff affects a mayor or
councilmen in the performance
of his Official duties. The only
argument for or against a non
partisan ticket concerns an
arrangement like this.
In order for a political party
to win out at a local election,
said political party must of a
necessity nominate popular men
who are socially popular, the
hail fellow, too often we find
these men anything but quail
fled for public service much
less conduct their own business
successfully. If one party
should nominate such a man
the other party must do like
wise and the people must vote
for either of these two men or
g It up another ticket, and as
they have no organization such
a move is usually considered
out of the question.
In party nomination it is any:
thing to win; the unpopular
man cannot get a nomination.
however well he may be quail
fed for the office. 1t would
seem to US that Missouri Valley
should wake up to the fact
that we have had party tickets
in our city elections long
enough to prove their ineffici-
ency, and we could we'll afford
to elect men to the various Off
ces who could stand upon their
records as successful, honorable
men who would be expected
and could guide the affairs dur
ing a period of Improvements
such as the city expects to.
make this summer.
BY all means the city should
throw off the yoke of partisan
politics and unite on a set Of
men who would be an honor
rather than an apology.
Resp,
Regnant Populi.

KIDNEY AND BLADDER
TROUBLES DISAPPEAR.
Chronic Sufferers Always Find Relief
From Few Doses.

If you are bothered with backache--
or rheumatism, have disagreeable. an
moving bladder or urinary disorders to
contend with-or suffer with any other
of the many miseries that come from
weak kidneys, here is a guaranteed
remedy you can depend upon.
1t is a positive fact that Croxone
promptly overcomes such disorders.
1t soaks right in, cleans out the
stopped up kidneys and makes them
filter and sift out the poisonous waste
matter from the blood. 1t neutralizes
and dissolves the uric acid that lodges
in the joints and muscles, causing
rheumatism; soothes and heals the
delicate Innings of the bladder.
More than a few doses of Croxone
are seldom required to relieve even the
obstinate. long standing cases.
You will find Croxone entirely Diff
ferent from all other remedies. 1t is
so prepared that 1t is practically i'm
possible to take it without results.
An original package costs but a trifie.
and your druggist is authorized to re-
turn the purchase price If Croxone
fails to give the desired results the
very first tirne.-Adv.

Plans are now being made towards
securing a site for a new High school
building The matter will be brought

and the town will be asked to appoint

and report at a subsequent meeting.

the school building and site can not be

that the first thing should be to get a
lot.

Much complaint is heard concerning
the police system of this town, and 1t
is believed that the present unsatis-
factory and ineffective plan will soon
be changed. At the present time the
work is left largely with the sheriff of
the county, which requires his atten-
ton, not only during the days, but
nights and Sundays as well. 1t is re-
marked by observers that one seldom
sees a policeman on the streets at
these times. 1t is also remarked that
Sheriff Thompson is looking after the
protection of the city in a creditable
manner, but the people feel that the
police should have more active part
than is apparent at this time. In COM
menting upon the Skowhegan situa-
ticn, citizen, Saturday, said: In
Bingham, a policeman is on the street
ell the time. 1t is understood that Wa
tcrville has Is uniformed police, and
believe this matter should be brought
