 And why is it so?
 Very simple, MT. Voter, very simple indeed.
 Having held their secret con- clave and selected their puppet (beg a hundred pardons, we mean "man"), the bosses sally forth with angel faces and sing the praises of their Fido. They endow him with all the graces of the human race, bestow upon him the wisdom of Soloman, and advertise him far and wide as the hope of the people, ''
 And because we (the people, are not possess (ahem. leaders, :; because we talk little and think less; because we follow the lad vice" of the bosses instead of Investigating men and conditions ourselves because of all of these things we elect the tools of the bosses today and curse our sys- tenn of government tomorrow. Bosses are not confined to national and state politics. They flourish in every district, in every county, in every township, and in every city and village.
 Bosses are everywhere schem- ing, wire pulling, enticing, die tating, forcing their will upon a people whose will alone should be supreme.
 Bosses do not like to be called bosses. They prefer to pose as loyalparty leaders, whose duty" it is to guide the people" in the way they should go.
 And the way of the bosses k so subtle that the people do no E ss;.:s s1s ss.2s E 2. se ! around by the nose, that they are being herded like sheep, that they are obeying the will of the bosses at every election. It is difficult matter for any man to secure even the humblest of public office without first se- curing the approval of the boss es, and that approval renders him unfit to Loyalty serve the people as whole.
 We would like to see differ ent system in vogue, and we would like to see it make the start right in this local commun- ity,
 We would like to see the names of every man who seeks office posted where people can see it. Then we would like to see every voter make his own decision without a single sugges- ton of advice from any other person.
 Then we might hope to find men filling public office because of efficiency, whereas now it is mainly question of. bosses and votes.
 We are frank to admit that occasionally a good man slips into office even under this sys- tenn. In fact we have had such men in office right in our own midst, and we may have such again.
 But we insist that the people should be free to make their own selection without persuasion or interference from the bosses, for it is our opinion that but few men can be loyal to the people as a people and yet be satisfactory to the bosses.
 Some of these days the people will awake to a realization of their political power and the bosses will cease to exist. They will be just voters, as the rest of us have been for these many NnarC

Adolph o. Eberhart has announced
his candidacy for the United States
Senatorship now held by Senator
Moses E. Clapp. This makes three
candidates for the Republican nomi-
nation-Clapp, Kellogg and Eberhart.
Ex-Gov. Eberhart ran ahead of all
other candidates for delegates-at-
large to the National Republican con-
vention, and this fact no doubt con-
tributed to his entering the senatorial
race. With a big senatorial scrap
and the Burnquist-1verson contest for
the nomination for governor there
ought to be some interesting doings
during the next thirteen weeks.

SMILES.

To lubricate the wheels of

It makes the going easy and

smiling face will do Aore good
than doctors dope and pills. It
puts the cheer in cheerfulness
and cures you Of your ills. BY
smiling you will catch the light
and mingle with the rays of our
old sun who knows no nights but
bright and pleasant days. Just
swing in line and can the blues
and smile and don't complain.
The clouds you'll find will clear
away and sunshine follow rain.
Not only will it do you good to
come through with a smile, but
all you come in contact with will
initiate your style, and thus true
happiness you gain. but In no
other way can you be truly
happy, so just try it for a day,
