The city primaries Friday night
drew large number of voters to the
polls, possibly the largest vote ever
cast here at city primary and there
were some surprises in the results.
It was generally believed that Hahne
would be the high man for council
man-at-large, but Gustuson led him
by better than two hundred votes.
The big lead of P. M. Banks over E.
e. Valentine for mayor was also un-
expected. Mr.. Banks supporters
were very confident of success during
the closing days of the campaign,
but they were not prepared for
victory by vote of more than two
and half to one.
E. F. King, for city treasurer, R.
E. Jones for library trustee, Louis
Follett, w. r. Ryan and E. H. Mar
tin, for park commissioners were
nominated without opposition. For
assessor, VIM. Meekins defeated H.
S. Bourne.
The main contest was of course
waged upon the candidates for may
or and the overwhelming victory for
Mr.. Banks indicates that he is the
choice of the people and is
now ..-.i:led to the support
of every man who took part in the
primaries, and the Freeman Tribune
believes he will be elected without
opposition. 1t was fair contest be-
tween the two men, the voter not be-
ing mystifed by multiplicity of
candidates and resultant confusion
of the issues involved.
Following is the result of the
primaries on mayor and members of
the council by wards:

MEASURED BY INCHES
LITTLE THINGS GOVERN LlFE's
SUCCESS OR FAILURE.
A Little Contemplation VIII Show the
Truth of the Statement-Man Who
Considers 1t Is the One
Who Succeeds.

1 Everybody knows what little thing
an inch is. but few realize what big
thing it is. Few stop to contemplate
what the difference of an inch really
means, says a writer in the New York
American. A tailor knows when an
inch too much or too little has cost
him anywhere from S18 to $50. A
dressmaker knows when an inch too
little OF the goods on hand may cause
her, after an arduous day of planning.
to abandon chosen pattern for an
other. An engineer knows when his
train, with its carload of human
freight, has gone one inch off the track
over a precipice.
Some men have minds one inch off
the judgment track, and that causes
all their schemes. gigantic and bril-
liant as they may be, to run amuck.
Every calamity and every success in
life is controlled By inches.
Men rarely go TO their doom in an
hour; 1t is inch by inch.
All successes are won inch by inch.
AS inch by inch the waters of life
creep in to inguIf us. so inch by inch
the obstacles that impede our progress
move aside.
The man who attempts to leap over
the inches to reach his goal gets there
with broken leg.
The word inch has a forbiddng
sound. 1t is because it holds us in it's
clutches. We cannot ignore an inch,
or 1t Immediately thwarts our inten-
tions. Every simple thing is performed
by man, as the saying goes, within an
inch Of his life"
All diseases move inch by inch. Be-
fore the scarlet fever breaks out in a
child it has been developing inch by
inch for nine days.
A man built magnificent structure
the other day at an enormous expense,
and when 1t was proved that he had
encroached few inches on the land
OF another man the law accorded the
other man the right to pull it down.
Tho overstepping of an inch in the
proprieties OF life brands US. If a girl
In a theater laughs an inch too loud
the audience looks around and puts
uron her the stamp of mot lady"
Art is controlled by inches. A pic
ture an inch too high OF too low, and
the entire artistic effect of the wall
upon which 1t hangs is lost.
Department is measured by inches.
and woe unto the man who fails to OBJ
serve its dictates. Even in the deep
est grief if one goes too far in his
wailings the grief is questioned, If not
ridiculed. and sympathy turned aside.
An inch too far in the poets fight to
imagination's realms and the world
laughs 1T his best efforts.
A single inch in any direction may
throw away mans chances Tor the
worlds approval, and We. some men
do not even consider the yards.
1t Is the man who considers life
within an inch of every detail present
ed who succeeds.

the cause Of all his woe; he tightens
half a dozen bolts but still it doesn't
go. And then he tries the steering
gears but finds ne trouble there, till
wet with Precipitation, then he quits
in sheer despair. He squats beside
the road to give his brain a chance to
cool and ponders on his training in the

starts the job once more, until by
chance it's seen, the cause of all his
trouble is, he's out of gasoline.

social righteousness is in her charge.
Her beautiful life lights the skies OF
hope and her refinement is the charm,

latlve products of generations OF
queenly conquest, and her crown oil
exalted womanhood is ieweieo with
the wisdom of sanity mothers. She
has been a great factor in the glory
OF our country, and her noble achieve
ments should not be marred or her
hallowed influence blighted by the
coarser duties Of citizenship. A1seri.
a chivalry should never permit her
to bear the burdens of defending ard
maintaining government, but should
preserve her unsullied from the allied
influences of politics, and protect her
from the weighty responsibilities Of
the sordid affairs of life that viii
crush her ideals and lower her stand
ards. The motherhood OF the farm
is u inspiration, she is the guardian
of our domestic welfare and o guide
to a higher life, but directing the af-
fairs Of government is not within wo-
mans sphere, and political gossip
would cause her to neglect the home,
forget to mend our clothes and burn
the biscuits.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the d.
rection Of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership. where, aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful. where art charges the at
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life moro
attractive as we'll as the business of
farming more remunerative, The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for n%ourishing and
building character, so that the lives OF
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.
