.SPILLVILLE READY
FOR THE FOURTH
Grand Fourth of July Celebration
Will be Held in Spillville
This Year.
HON c. w. REED WILL
BE ORATOR OF DAY
Big Program of Amusements Ar
ranged for and Everybody is
Cordially Invited.

Big Fourth Of July posters have
been hung about Decorah this week
announcing the big Fourth of July
celebration in Spillville. Judging
from the program a great time is il
store for visitors this year as 8
very high class program has beer
provided, and Spillville is an ideal
place TO celebrate. 1t is a short
drive and the roads are fine, and we
believe Spillville will entertain the
largest crowd in her history.
A grand civic and patriotic parade
will take place at 10 a. m. with
music by the Calmar and Spillville
bands. This will be followed by pa
triotic exercises at the Park. The
ora:or Of the day will be Hon. c.
W., Reed, of Cresco.
At twelve o'clock the ladies will
serve a big dinner under the shady
oaks, which goes without saying viii
be good one.
A negro quartette will be one OF
the special features, besides there
will be battle royal between five
colored puglists.
Base ball in one of the fines. parks
in the state will be played between
Calnar and Spillville.
A tug of war, Bohemians VS.. Ger.
mans and Norwegian VS.. Irish will
be one of the exciting stunts.
The program calls for something
interesting from early morning until
late a: night. The big bowery will
be in operation and the dancers will
have the time of their lives. Keep
Spillviile in mind for the Fourth,
You can't find a better place to spend
the day.

An Outside View

The Minneapolis Journal reviewing
the primary nomination of Colonel
Brookhart in Iowa admits that it is
by way Of triumph for radical pro-
gressiveism. But, the Journal quail
fies its admission, at is the triumph
of a unified minority over divided
majority" 1t notes that 50 per cent
of the vote went against him and
argues that a concentration of his
opposition upon one candidate would
have left him far in the rear" The
failure to so concentrate it considers
partly due to the difficulties of at
tanning united action I'm direct
primary and partly to faulty strategy
on the part of more conservative
leadership. Continuing the Journal
proceeds 10 analyze the situation
thus:
Under the Iowa law there is no
primary convention as in Minnesota
but a postpr.mary convention makes
the nomination, in case none of the
candidates poll thirty-fve percent OF
the total vote cast. The conservative
leaders believed that by multiplying
J the candidates they could so scatter
/ the vote that Colonel Brookhart could
not secure the necessary thirty-five
per cent. Thus the decision as tc
the senatorial candidate would revert
\ to the state convention.
| But even if the conservative lead
ers could have foreseen the popular
swing to Brookhart, there was M
practicable way of concentrating OF
an opponent who would receive tn,
great bulk of the ffty-nine per cent
If the fight had been between
Brookhart and candidate fairly rep
resenting the opposition to Brook
hart's platform, Brookhart on tn,
basis of the returns would have beer
beaten. As it is, he is nominated, ant
the victory of the minority is every
where cited as a blow to the admin
istration, as portending to a re-en
forcment of the small, ultra-progres
sive group in the senate. That j
very likely the way it Will work out
The direct primary is great stut
for united m.norities and deadly fo
divided majorities.

Auto Bus Line Fails to Pay

Usage Press: The Spring Valley
bus gave up in despair this week and
lis running no more. The bus lines
are a fine thing in every respect but
one-prices are so high that people
cannot afford to patronize them. For
instance the Spring Valley trip by
train costs about $1.50, while the
bus trip costs $3.50. The combina-
ton bus from Riceville makes trips
every day, and are hauling freight,
depending on this rather than their
passengers to keep things going. The
driver of this bus expects to start
next Sunday making a trip to Clear
Lake. He will take load over in
the forenoon, stay all day. and re-
turn in the evening. We did not learn
what the rates will be, but ne ought
to have good patronage during The
hot weather.

We All Are Coming Home.

We are coming home again dear
friends
To the old home town once more
To be welcomed back with out
stretched hands
As we were in days of yore.
We know you remember and love us
all
Though many years have flown
Since we lived in the good old town
That once we called our home.
But in our hearts the place is dear,
We can't forged the scenes,
The rivers-Hills--Ice Cave and all
And the old Dunning spring.
We still think of the girls and boys,
We called our pals in youth,
And wonder where they all can be
And long for them in truth.
But now we are coming back again
To meet them all once more,
Ard see them laugh and clasp their
hands
And hear the old drum corps.
And we will all feel young again,
For we'll all be there for sure
And have the best time in our lives,
In the old home town once more.
