THE THIRD PARTY

Old parties are very slow in
adopting new ideas. There are
many reasons for this. One rea-
son that might be mentioned is
that the new ideas usually con-
flict with the past teachings of the
party, and to adopt them would
be an admission that the position
of the party in the past had been
wrong. A party that admits that
it has been wrong in the past
would not inspire confidence for
the future. Then again, if the
new ideas require radical changes
to put them into effect an old par
ty is slow to adopt them for fear
that they will give the opposition
party an advantage.
If a party abandons old ideas.
it is bound to lose the support of
those who still believe in the
ideas. An old party that is con-
fronted with new issues is very
apt to "straddle the fence" That
ic, they will try to go just far
enough to get the support of the
voters who favor new methods.
but not far enough to lose the sup
port of their old adherents. In
other words, they try to get the
support of the monopolist and al
so the anti-monopolist, of the
profiteer and also his victims, of
special privilege and also those
who are opposed to special priv
ilege.
The Republican party has ap-
pointed committee of 1S1 to
prepare their platform and when
this work of art is finished it will
be so constructed, that it can be
construed in 1S1 different ways.
1t will satisfy the most radical
prohibitionist and will also be ac-
certable to the bootlegger. Each
will be able to construe it in his
way. Nor do we anticipate that
our Democratic friends will al
low themselves to be outdone
when it comes r. making a plat
form th". will mean all things
to all men,"
The moral to all this is plain.
If we expect to make any great
progress in reform legislation, a
third party is needed. You can
not stop profiteering with parties
that are catering to the support of
profiteers. You cannot abolish
private monopoly with parties
Gilpin observer., 1920-02-19
PARTY SPIRIT

Perhaps, no one thing has done
more to retard political progress
than blind partizan zeal. 1t is a
mistake to overlook the faults of
our public officials because they
belong to tho party which we sup
port and it is just as much of a
mistake to condemn or deny the
virtues or good traits of those
who belong to the opposition par
ty. No party can honestly claim
a monopoly of civic virtue, neither
can they honestly claim that their
opponents are without good traits.
All of the good nor all of the bad
is not confined to any one party.
AS American citizens it is just as
much our duty to oppose whatever
is wrong within our party rs it
is to oppose the wrong which ex-
lists in the opposition party. In
fact, we have more reason for con-
demning the bad acts CT our own
party because to a certain extent
we are responsible for those acts.
as by our votes we placed them in
power.
1t is an insult to the intelli-
gence of people to make an ap-
peal for their votes upon parti-
zan grounds. And no one unless
he is ignorant himself or under
estimated the intelligence of the
people, would make such an ap-
peal. 1t is true that rlany of us
in the past have been blinded by
party spirit. We have marched
under the Democratic flag be-
cause it was the Democratic flag.
or we have followed the RepL bill
can flag for no other reaoon ex-
cept that it was the Republican
flag, but unless all political signs
fail the American people have out
grown that stage where they can
be whipped into line by party ap-
peals.
Everywhere dissati act n
with the two old parties is wide
spread. Are our leaders blinded
by power and will they fail to

GEORGE WASHINGTON

1t is only by comparison that we
can reach true estimate of the
greatness of George Washington.
If we compare his acts and the
circumstances surrounding them
with the acts of other great men
of the world under similar condi-
tions, we find him standing alone,
without a parallel in the worlds
history.
Alexander the Great, julius
Caesar, Napoleon and other great
warriors waged war to subjugate
other nations for the purpose of
extending their possessions and
power. Washington took up the
gage of battle, with no selfish mo-
tive, in behalf of weak unorgan-
lied nation that was engaged in
an unequal struggle, in an at
tempt to wrest it's independence
from what was then the greatest
power on earth. Without money,
with inadequate equipment and
greatly inferior numbers, he held
his ragged and half-starved ar
my together thru war of seven
years duration. Beset by enemies
at home and confronted by al
most insurmountable obstacles
upon every hand, his great heart
never faltered. Nothing short of
an unselfish devotion to the inter-
est of humanity and a firm belief
in the ultimate triumph of right,
could have sustained him thru all
the dark days of the long conflict.
But great as his achievements
were in times of war, his endur-
ing and lasting fame will ever rest
upon his actions in times of peace.
AT the close of the successful
war he was universally acclaim
ed the savior of the country. A
rejoicing and grateful people
stood ready to crown him king of
the new empire. Firmly he
brushed aside the proffered crown
and busted himself with other
patriots, in establishing a govern
ment of the people. After the
government was established he
was twice elected president. He
was offered third term, but de-
clined to accept on the grounds
that it would be safer for the re-
public that no president should
be elected for more than two
terms. The precedent thus estab-
lished has not been violated up
to the present time, and the teach
ings of Washington have such a
strong hold upon the people that

FORCE

The stars know a secret
They do not tell;
And morn brings a message
Hidden we'll.
There's blush on the apple,
A tint on the wing,
And the bright wind whistles,
And the pulses sting.
Perish dark memories!
There's light ahead;
This worlds for the living,
Not for the dead.
In the shining city,
On the loud pave,
The life-tide is running
Like leaping wave.
How the stream quickens
AS noon draws near!
No room for loiterers,
No time for fear.
Out on the farmlands
Earth smiles as we'll;
Gold-crusted grain fields,
With sweet, warm smell.
Whir of the reaper,
Like giant bee;
Like Titan cricket,
Thrilling with glee.
On mart and meadow,
Pavement and plain;
On azure mountain,
On azure main
Heaven bends in blessing;
Lost is but won;
Goes the good rain cloud
Comes the good sun;
Only babes whimper,
And sick men wall,
And faint hearts and feebl
hearts,
And weaklings fail.
Down the great currents
Let the boats swing;
There never was winter
But brought the spring.
