The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-01-14

A writer on the staff of Col
lier's Weekly says the strongest
figures in history, the men who
have led great political reforms,
knew neither kin nor friends in
the carrying out of the state pro-
grammes. James Stephen Hogg
was one of the strongest figures
in Texas history. He did not
even break with kin nor friends.
Woodrow Wilson will live in his
tory as one of its strongest fig
ures. Has he ever broken with
either kin or friends? Tis true
that he has escaped the abuse
heaped on Lincoln, Jefferson
Davis, Grover Cleveland and
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is also
true that the time maycomewhen
Woodrow Wilson will not be a
popular idol and will be subject
ed to the same indignities that
were heaped upon the great re-
formers in American history.
William Jennings Bryan is one
of the strongest figures in history.
He was target for abuse for
sixteen long years. But he won
in the end and today his fame is
international.

BIG ARM TOWN LOTS

Major Morgan and DR.. Heidel-

week and started on the work of
appraising the lots in that govern

most three years since these lots
were available for settlement and
the people of Big Arm have been
patiently holding the lots down
ever since, waiting on the slow
machinery of the government to
unwind the red tape.

LONG LIST Of CANDIDATES FOR
ALDERMEN AT COMING ELECTION

1t was thought up to the pres
ent time that no one would seek
the office of alderman in either
of the three wards, but later
developments have entirely
changed the aspect. There are
19 voters in the First ward, q
in the Second, and % in the
Third, and it is said that each of
them are willing to accept the
office Gf rendered on a silver
plate and with a guarantee of
prompt payment at the end of
each month";
No petitions have as yet been
circulated, so far as heard from,
and it may be there are not as
many candidates as voters, but
it is expected that no difficulty
will be experienced in filling the
offices when the time comes.
The voters in the First ward
are:
Barney Bassett, Jarius Curtis, Jay

SOCIALISTS WIN
IN M|SS0ULA

In the city primary held in
Missoula last Monday, the social
lists secured two places on the
city ticket to be voted for on
April 6, the annual city election.
The two candidates who quail
flied in the finals are Andrew
Getchell for mayor and Dale Hod-
son for commissioner. The other
candidates will be Ronald Hig-
gins for mayor and T. A. Price
for commissioner.
There were seven candidates
for the mayoralty nomination,
under the commission form of
government and the primary sys-
tenn which provides the method
of naming candidates, and nine
candidates for commissioner. The
vote in detail as to totals resulted
as follows:
E. G. Anderson, 227; Andrew
Getchell, 1888; Ronald Higgins,
391; j. 0. Newcomb, IS; l.. N.
Simons, As; W. H. Smead, So;
Frank Woody, 252. For COM
missioner: J. G. Ambrose, 60;
j. M. Brechbill, 1S1; Dale Hod-
son, 662; Charles Lindborg, 13;
J. B. Pigg, FL; T. A. Price, 424;
w. H. Smith, 296; F. T. Stod-
dard, 67: Edward Wohlschlager,
81.
The two highest candidates for
mayor and the two highest for
commissioner in this primary
make the race at the regular
election, when the candidates for
each Office receiving the highest
number of votes is elected. 1t
looks like there might be a good
show for the socialists to elect
both their candidates, as it is
said it will be impossible to rec
oncile the factional feeling in
Missoula as represented by the
opposition to the socialists.

Friends to the number of over
fifty were invited to a farewell

The affair was under the direction
of Mrs. |. M. Brandjord, Mrs.
John N. Bailey and Mrs. Rath-
bone, and the lady guests each
brought some portion of the
lunch which was served at mid
night. The party was a hurriedly
gotten up affair, as Mr.. Thorn
burgh was to and did leave Ro-
nan Tuesday afternoon for
Stevensville where he has ac-
cepted a position with the May
Mercantile Co, Mrs. Thorn
burgh will not go with him but
will remain in Roman until her
husband has secured suitable
quarters.
During the past four years
Mr.. and Mrs. Thornburgh have
been a part of the social life of
Roman and their friends, and
that includes each and everyone
here, are sorry to have them
leave us. Each one regrets their
loss and while realizing that two
interesting and hospitable people
are going away, that Stevensville
will find them an addition to
be warmly welcomed.
The evening was spent in pro-
gressive whist and the guests

have the opportunity of acquiring

Crow Creek.

One of the most enjoyable
events of the season was held at
the spacious country home of
DR.. and Mrs. A. K. Resner last
Saturday evening. The occasion
was a surprise party in honor Of
Mrs. Resner's birthday. Several
machines brought out the Roman
people and they were quietly
met at the Resner home by the
people of the neighborhood and
most completely surprised Mrs.
Resner. The Doctor had been
admitted to the secret and found
it very difficult to keep Mrs.
Resner interested in the local
news while several machines
were making subdued noises out
side. The entire party adjourned
to the school house where dane
ing was enjoyed for several
hours. At one O'Clock the guests
were taken to the house in the
machines and a delicious buffet
supper was served. Mrs. Resner
was the recipient of many beauti-
full gifts and a pleasant time was
enjoyed by all. About thirty
guests were present.
The Crow creek school has
purchased a Victrola and several
fine records. The machine was
bought with the proceeds from
entertainments and is a valuable
addition to the school equipment.
Crow creek school is very for
tunate in having secured so many
modern appliances this year,
playground apparatus, musical
instruments, framed pictures
and other things, and takes this
opportunity to thank the people
who have helped in getting them.

RETURNING FLATHEADERS ALL SAY
THE COUNTRY IS ALL RIGHT

Some Of those who have just
returned to their farms and
homesteads after spending the
winter in various portions of the
country, express themselves as
glad to get back to the Flathead.
They invariably say "the country
is all right.' Such expressions,
coming as it does from people
who had become dissatisfied with
their lot here, or else, were by
necessity compelled to seek en-
ployment elsewhere to meet the
demands upon them, shows that
there are many places where
times are no better than here.
The country is all right. There
is nothing wrong with the eli
mate, the soil, the productive
ness and the opportunities. What
has been the trouble is purely a
lack of working capital on the
part of a great majority of the
people who homesteaded the
land. They came imbued with
plenty of enthusiasm and lacked
only in available resources to Sc
cure a foothold. This shortage
Of money has made it an uphill
proposition for altogether too
many. They exhausted their
money before they had enough
coming in to weather the storms
of perversity and many were
compelled for a time to abandon
their homes and seek employ
nent at their old avocations, or
seek new means of earning
money with which to begin anew
again. But most Of those who
came here determined to make
for themselves and their families
a permanent home are made of
that sterner material which does
not know defeat. They may be
repuIsed in their first encounter
but simply follow the strategy
of more experienced generals and
fall back and await reinforce
ments. They renew their am
munition supply and again at
tack the front and right wing of
the army before them and the
result of the battle will eventually
be their victory.
This is is not the only cause of
many seeming failures. Condi-
tions have been exceptionally
hard. They expected to be as
sisted in every way possible by
the government in getting their
lands in a productive state. In
stead they find that same govern
nlent more than proverbially slow
in completing the project to
water their land. They find
their titles in an unsettled con-
dition, which, while not exactly
prohibiting a transfer of lands,
hinder to remarkable degree.
We're these things remedied as
they should be, then the rest
would be a comparatively easy
matter. Capital would be eager
to invest in such lands as are to
be found all over the valley.
Men with means would not hes
tate to invest their money in
such lands and where we now
have a stringency the condition
would be exactly the reverse.
But through it all comes the
ray of hope and promise of better
things to come, by reason of the
encouraging remarks one hears
from those who have returned
that the country here is all
right"
