adapted to me that the persons who

the harmony Of the individual and

window and some woman buys a
costume like mine. Then she is
amazed that there is something inap-
prOpriate, that it does not seem right.
She never realizes that she would be
in nearer harmony with herself if
she would study her own individual

me. Often it is only the slightest
change that is needed to procure this
harmony. In this respect l almost

Fall Celebration Committee Picks
This Place for Use OF Miss
Ruth Law.

E. F. Renaud, J. p. Ingle and j. w.
Wfnger, members OF the fall celebra-
ton. examined available sites on the
outskirts OF town this morning for
the use of Ruth Law, who will fly
here during the celebration.
II was decided that the Messenger
tract on the boulevard was the best
location for the flights and the per
mission OF the owners viii be asked
for it's use. Miss Law requires a
place 300 by 1000 feet and the Mes
senger tract is a great deal larger
than this. besides being level and
easily accessible.
This same place was used by the
aviator who gave the first exhibition
in Keokuk about FIVE years ago.

THE TIME Is NEAR.

Just few days over a month to the day when the voters shall choose the men who shall have charge of our territorial affairs the next two years Bearing that in mind, we think the time has come when a study of the character, ability or qualifications of every candidate, individually as well as collectively. should be taken up and discussed and thereby enhghten the voters that they may cast their vote for men whose subse quent actions will not result in confusion and dissatisfaction. The men chosen should be men who will not rob one part of the territory in or der to help another; who will not impose bur den on one division or class of men or business for the sake of getting revenue to help another division as it was done two years ago. The study of candidates is the most important step to be taken and should be attended to in time. by individuals as we'll as by organizations. Let us learn who they are, what they are that We may use our vote inteligently.
 No less important along this line of study. is the study Of principles for which candidate or candidates promise to stand for if elected. If candidate promises to do this, that and other things; if by the study Of his character We have discovered that he Is a man of his word we can depend that whatever he promises to do, he shall do. The promsie that each candidate has made are included in the platform of the spective parties. Let Us study those principles and with the knowledge Of the candidates ac- quired by the study Of their characters we see their honesty Of purpose. we can vote intelligent ly, and not otherwise. With that in view. the Progressively Miner shall hereafter, and from time to time endeavor to discuss the respective candi- dates and their platform and help the voters to that extent Our aim is to do the best we can with the material at hand.
