Made Only in America

The great party conventions about
to meet in this country present a
spectacle to be seen nowhere else in
the world. Their business is to shape
national policies and administrative
leadership for the next four years.
These conventions come direct from
the people and what they do goes
back to the people for decisive ap-
proval or rejection One OF their
nominations for chief magistrate will
be inaugurated as president next
March, and at the same time a new
congress comes into existence. In
France and Switzerland presidents
are chosen by the Legislative branch.
es, but citizens of the United States
retain this power in their own hands.
acting through this delegate conven-
ton system, equitably apportioned to
every state and territorial division.
Sometimes the most important work
of the conventions is indicated in ad
vance. but often has been surprise.
| Yet the nation has grown and prosper
ed. feeling fundamentally secure in
| it's checks and balances, executive
and Legislative. A national party con-
vention meets. performs its task and
then dissolves finally. having accom-
plished the one thing for which the
people created it. This closeness Of
a party to the whole electorate is
found nowhere else.
Such conventions are an enigma to
many in Europe. but the Old World
can study them to advantage. Indi-
vidual rulers there are able to start
wars and to fix a time to consider a
return to peace. Only Congress can
declare war under the American con-
stitution. The difference is a vast
one for the veal or woe of national
4 ity. An autocracy can not exist with
in our borders. The ballot with us
quickly puts into effect the freeman S
will Under it's results the United
States has become the richest Of ma
lions In property and its citizens be-
lieve that they are the best circum.
stanced in every respect The rest
OF the world is unacquainted with
such national conventions as Ameri.
cans will hold in June. Foreign gov
ernments are conducted without them,
and yet, IL they will follow the pro
ceedings with an open mind. they will
be rendered thoughtful on the subject
of their own governmental affairs.
They may have ancient proverbs about
the voice OF the people, but they are
only distractions compared to what
is about to be witnessed here.-St
Louis Gobe Democrat.

For weary patient, or some flower
 fair, Or accompany him on journey far or
 near, With words of sympathy and hope
 and cheer. The tiller of the soil beholds, with
 pride, The humble cottage, where his grow
 ing brood reside, And with fresh vigor guides his horses
 round, The while his merry whistle doth re.
 sound. His ax, the woodsman plies with full
 Ter vim, Till sinks the sun below the horizons
 brim, Then takes his way, as shadows down.
 ward steal, Homeward, where waits his frugal
 ev'ning meal Sleek cattle, heath the length ming
 sunset gleams, The lang'rous rythm of bells blend
 with our dream, While the mellow music of their low
 ing sounds With deep-throated paying of the tire
 less hounds, That swift OCT meadow, hill and fen, Chase timid wild folk or race home
 again. Then, when the stars like candles are
 alight, Each man and matron, lad and las
 sic bright, Fares forth, upon some rustic frolic
 bent, Where jest and laughter, sped with
 best intent, Call out swift repartee and homely
 wit, Or bushes and confusion by some
 timely hit; The humble poet ole his pen will
 guide, Preparing verse to praise or to de-
 ride. The frolic ended, each a good night
 speaks, Then with many backward call his
 cottage seeks. The lovers, lettering on their home
 ward way, Recall to age some half forgotten day, Or furnish fun for teasing girl and
 boy, Who with mimicry and jest their
 minds employ. So in this half secluded spot life
 glides along, Adding it's full measure to the univer-
 sal song, And thus, for home. for county, state
 and nation, Works out it's part in Gods plan of
 creation.

A little wildness on his part and few errors by his teammates was all that kept Mckenzie from pitching shut out game. The Guyer Springs boys man. aged to get few hits, but they were well scattered, while all the Zion Hill boys but two hit the ball for from one to three clean hits. The Zion Hill team that Geyer Springs defeated several weeks ago was the Zion Hill second team and not the first.
