ARE THIRD
TERMS ADVISAbLE

From the Daily Press we note that
Governor E. L. Phillips has announced
himself as a candidate for third term.
Is this a wise move on his part in
the interests Of party success? It is a
pretty we'll established custom in the
Republican party in this State that
nominations for the third term are
usually detrimental to the party in
terests. Two terms is usually consid-
cred the limit for the holding of state
and county Offices. There are excep-
tons to this rule, when circumstances
are such that conditions warrant a
third term. Third term candidates
usually are drag upon the ticket of
the party which places them in nomina
ton. There may be some good rea-
sons why Gov. Phillip should be re-
lected for the third term but we are
not informed as to just what they are
We believe his candidacy for the third
term is not only bad thing for him
if he has future political ambitions
for some higher office, but we believe
it will also be bad for the Republican
ticket in this state. What is true of
third term nominations in the state
are true in the county. We believe
the Governor will have a hard time
securing nomination at the Primary
especially if there are strong candi-
dates against him and his party. In
a three-cornered fight for the nomin-
alton he stands better show than if
there were only two. The Republican
organization in the state with the ap-
pointments he has made since his ad-
vent in the office of course, gives him
an advantage over a new man. We
have our doubts if his candidacy IS a
good move on his part or for the sue
cess of the party which he represents.
Time will tell.

Cash Business

Since the advent of the present war
everybody has been shaping their bust
ness upon a cash basis. The Govern
ment, Railroads, Corporations, Mer-
chants and Manufacturers, and in fact
everybody is now on the cash basis.
When the people become accustomed
to the no credit business they will
shape themselves accordingly and we
will all be better off. This change
should be received cheerfully and ev-
erybody should comply and no hard
ship will be thrust upon anyone. It
costs less to do a cash business than
one of credit. Everybody feels better
and the price of commodities should
be a little lower, in proportion, by
this method.

THE NEW FOURTH


Never before, in all our one hundred
and forty-two years of national life,
have we had Fourth of July like this
one. In the past there has always
been a predominating tone of levity
about the day and of good-humored
boastfullness. 1t pleased us to strut
a little and to throw out our chest
ana to feel our biceps and to tell every
one what a mighty wallop it was that
we gave John Bull so long ago.
But now, when we arc really greater
and stronger than we have ever been
before, we have the best rea-
son we ever had for going somewhat
vauntingly,-we have suddenly be-
come silent and serious. For, look
ing across the water, we see our old
time enemy standing there fighting
for his life-and for our lives, too
against foe that would destroy all
that our common race holds dear of
personal freedom and political equal
ity. We see the terrible bludgeoning
that he has taken without whimper
the wounds that he has suffered in
silence, the grim courage with which
he faces every new foul blow. His
head Is bloody, but unbowed," and
IN the face of that herioc figure our
head, although not yet bloody, is
bowed-in respect, in admiration, in
modesty and, alas! little in shame
that we saw so late and were so loath
to act.
And so the war has taken away our
old Fourth of July. But it has put
new one in its place. The old one
belonged to the children, who celebrat-
ed it with noise and fun and laughter;
the new one belongs to those who think
and feel. Thru all the years we have
been concentrating what we thought
was our victory over England in a
great little war. Now we see that
1t was not England that we fought.
but tyranny, and not England that we
conquered, but the spirit of oppres-
sion, just as we are fighting it now,
with our former adversary by our
SIDE, and France and Italy and twenty
other nations shoulder to shoulder with
US.
The old Fourth will never come back
We shall continue to keep the day and
to celebrate it, but not in the old fash
ION. We can see now, as we never
have seen before, what our fathers
did for US, and what the heritage is

Between July 1, 1917, and May /,
1918. we exported wheat and wheat
products to the amount of 110,000,00O
bushels. What we should have ex-
ported from our 1917 crop if we had
used as much as usual at home is less
than 100000 bushels. The differ
ence shows what we have saved fol-
our allies by using substitutes fol
wheat.
