For some unknown reason, when
ever troops are concentrated, either
in large camps cr on board ship, one
of the first diseases to make its APP

ease which most of us place in the
category of childhood Ills, is one of
the most dreaded by army surgeons.

Grand Army Badge
Courtesy of Paul Fontaine

What a tide Of tender memories
Bring this bronze five pointed star,
As it on my breast hangs pendant,
Honored Badge of g. A. r.
How it tells of absent comrades,
Who with tireless feet have trod
by our side thru weary marching,
Sleeping meath the Southern sod.
Shattered limbed, malaria poisoned,
Scurvied, starved in Southern bells,
Reason shaken, blinded, deafened
Is the story our Badge tells.
Borne amid the shock of battle,
Shot and shell and leaden hail
And the muskets' deadly rattle
Wherein stoutest hearts would quail
There it was our glorious Order,
Rising like brilliant star
In the heavens southern border,
Formed the mystic G. A. R.
This it was that made us comrades
Willing all we had to share
With a needy brother soldier
And each others burdens bear
Greater than all other nations
Honored emblems, nobler far,
Greater than all decorations
Is that of the G. A R.
Kindly then each other cherish.
Work together as of yore,
And let not the memory perish
Of the loved ones gone before.
For each day we're being mustered
With them in the courts above,
There around our leaders clustered
Soon to dwell in peace and love-

Others In Republican Primaries

Judging from the vote of the re-
cent primary it is patent that Dem
ocrats, Socialists and even Prohibi
tlonlsts have voted in the Republican
Primaries to help nominate some of
he Republicans with no opposition
on their own ticket. This is one ele-
ment of weakness in the Primary meth
cd Of voting. The opposition party
IAN go into the Primary and vote for
what they consider the weakest man
on the Republican ticket and then turn
around at the election and beat him at
the Polls. At least this is the polite
way of defeating your opponent. So~
INES it works and then again it does
not. The election laws should provide
Shat a man must always vote within
MS Party, then this method of nomin-
atng could not be possible. 1t is very
easily seen by going over the votes
east IN the various precincts in the
state and see where this method of
Totlng has been done Where there is
no opposition on the Democratic
ticket 1t is very easy for the Republi-
'ans to ask their Democratic friends
20 vote the Republican ticket in the
Urinary, to help nominate themselves
o office. This ought not be pos
Sible and the law should provide a pen
atty for thus doing. The Primary bal
lot method of nominating candidates
for office is all right, but voters should

erence and then vote within their

September Primary

A great many voters appear to for
get that the primary is simply means
Of selecting nominees for public of
fee in the various parties in the state.
They become SO interested in the per-
son they desire to see nominated in
their Party that they say and do things
that are hurtful after the Primarys
are over For instance, in the Repu-
blican Primary just past there were
three candidates for Congress, two
candidates for Sheriff, and two candi-
dates for District Attorney Now all
Of these men were good Republicans,
and they were seeking honorably the
nomination to their respective office
in their party. 1t is understood that
after the Primary is over that all
friends of all candidates will join to-
gether and work and vote for the sue
cess of their party ticket. We sin
cerely hope there are no sore spots
left, to in any way affect the success
Of the Republican candidates at the
coming November election. We can
not all agree and favor one man for
any office. Human nature is peculiar
md we all have our friends whom we
prefer to further their interests for
public office. After we have done our
best to help them secure their nomin-
alton, if we fail we must be ready and
wiling to vote for and support the
nomnee of our party. This is abso-
Iutely necessary to keep our party
7t10ng and vigorous. Now it will be-
1oove all Republicans to get down to
business and work for the success of
tire State, Congressional, and County

lnces of our party at the head OF our

The Bury The Hammer Club

Some one raised the question at the
meeting this week, if one must never
point out the faults that really exist
in his home town as everywhere else?
Certainly not, was the universal
opinion. But use some brains and
loyal spirit about it. Forget your
home towns faults when you are talk
ing with strangers and visitors. Don't
try to show how superior you are by
magnifying all the little faults in it.
And when you point out defects in
your talk among the home folks, do
it in positive way. Remember that
criticism, unaccompanied by any def
mite suggestion for remedying the de-
feet. is useless and destructive Never
point out a fault without raising the
question, What can | do to remedy
that fault?
There are some politicians who al
W. look at criticism Of their selfish
schemes as knocking" frequently
they need knocking But that is a
very different thing from ridiculing
and detracting positive efforts for civic
betterment.

Edward E. Browne Re-nominated

The congressional nomination in this
district resulted as we expected it
would. The fact that there were three
candidates running divided up the vote
so that Mr.. Browne could be easily
renominated. If DIR. Walters of Stew
ems Point had not been a candidate
we believe Eberlein would have been
nominated.
Congressman Browne has given pref
ty good satisfaction during his stay
in Washington. With very few ex-
ceptions he has voted in the interest
Of his constituency on every question
that has come up of vital Importance.
The fact that the administration is
Democratic and has been during his
service as Congressan, he has not been
able to accomplish as much as he
would have been able to under a Re
publican administration. The people
of this district ere pretty we'll salts
fed with Mr.. Brownies administra-
ton Of public affairs. The fact that
he has held this office three terms and
is a candidate for the fourth, had some
effect upon the results Of the Primary
However, his knowledge obtained
from a three term service makes him
stronger for the fourth term possibly
than a new man, who would have all
the preliminary work to become fam
liar with. Mr.. Eberlein carried his
own county and made an excellent
5howing throughout the district, while
Dr.. Walters failed to carry his own
county and received a light vote thru
out the district. The outcome Of the
contest certainly insures the election
of Mr.. Browne at the November cleo
ton.
Congressman Browne is we'll quail
fed for the office he holds and is q
perfect gentleman with whom it is a
pleasure to meet. He makes no great
3retensiOn of being the best man in
the district for the place, but he gives
he office his undivided time and at
tention and no one can complain that
he neglects any matter that is placed
n his hands for attention. We con-
graduate him on the successful out
come of his nomination and there is
absolutely no doubt as to his election
in this district.
