RECENT ELECTIONS.

Elections held in a number Of
States last week indicate a tendency
on the part of Colonel Roosevelt
prcgressives to desert their new loye
and return to the old. This is cs@
pecially significant in the returns from
Massachusetts, which show the cleo
ton of the Republican candidate for
governor, displacing a democrat who
won on a plurality vote two and four
years sago. The Republican majority
is very small, but sufficiently large to
change the political complexion of the
Bay State. Similar gains in other
states would indicate a line up next
year between the two old parties with
present prospects favorable to tno
who are united on their
bearer, while the Republic
cans face a bitter pre-convention con-
and probable division after their
are made, Mr.. Wilson
is exceedingly popular with the masses
and a general feeling prevails that LIE
will surely succeed himself.

THE HOUSE LEADERS POSITION

I~
washington correspondents of some
of the newspapers state that they are
told on good authority" that Presi-
dent Wilson docs not sympathize with
any movement to GUST Congressman
fClaud Kitchin from the leadership OF
the house branch of the congress. II
there is any such movement" on foot
or in sight it is superfious.
If Mr.. Kitchin finds that he cannot
avoid attacking the administrations
program, in providing ways and means
for the, national defense as recon-
mended by President Wilson, he can
eliminate himself as party leader with
more grace than the party could "oust'
HIM. And that is probably what the
second district congressman would do
If the contingency we have just sug
gested should become unavoidable"
But it is suggested by Senator I'm
derwood that Mr.. Kitchin's position Il
not fully understood by the public yet,
and that there may be no necessity of
the elimination of the Tarheel by any
method as majority leader of the in
coming House.

WHEELS AND COMMUNITIES.

When a spoke in a wheel is broker
that wheel is weakened and only O
partial or slight value to the rest 81
the vehicle. The vehicle itself is Of
no greater value than its weakest spot
the broken wheel. It's usefulness will
not be restored until the wheel is re,
paired and placed on a par with the
other wheels. Then it is again ready
tc assume its proper functions in the
scheme of life.
And as 1t is worth the wheel and the
wagon, SO it is with the citizen and
the community. The latter is only az
strong as the loyalty of the former.
The. community will advance only in
accordance with the loyalty and pro-
gressiveness Of its people.
The man who forgets his home mer-
chants and sends his money to out
side sources is the broken wheel o.
his own community. He is the weak
srot that retards the growth of all.
that produces commercial stagnation,
that creates local hard times and re
duces the community that shelters
him and the people who feed him To
the level of a hand to mouth existence.
We don't want any broken wheels
in this community; we don't want any
useless vehicles, commercial disin-
tegration, or hand to mouth existence;
We don't want any poverty or distress.
But we want prosperity, and pro-
g-ressiveness, and happiness and CON
tentments and full 1arders and dinner
pals, and we can have them if eacn
one of us will do our duty to the towr
in which we live, and trade with homo
people, and keep our own money IN
our own community.
We want to keep prosperity in this
city" and We can only do it by trad
ing where we live"
Personally, we intend to practice
what we preach in this respect, for the
good of the community, for your good
and for u own good, and we would
dearly love to see you trailing right
along by our side, and we are quite ex-
Epecting to see you doing It because
we don't think we are one whit more
loyal to this town than you are. s
Come along. brother. When we all
pull in the same harness we make a
mighty strong team.

event this, year. A great deal of the

and means much for the community,
therefore the teachers should be en-
ccuraged to h fullest extent in this &
worthy undertaking.
