HOW ABOUT DAD AND NAM?
Speaking of youths degeneration
During better homes week are dad
and nam realizing just what posi-
ton they occupy in the scheme of
things?
We all recall the days of youth,
when they were the whole world 10
us, when everything they did was
right, when they were the bright and
shining examples upon which we
built our future plans. If we ever
became such man as Dad or such a |
woman as Mother, we should, in our
youthful estimation, have achieved |
the acme of useful and successful
life.
From the altitude of mature years |
we look at the parents of today with
generation thinks of hem. 1t is safe
to say that most of them could i'm
prove upon the example which they
are daily setting for their children.
Like father, like son. would not be
speaking very highly of the younger
member of the family in good many
cases.
During better homes week is
good time to think over.-Coeur d.

AN INTERESTING CAMPAIGN
Interest in the campaign in this
state which, up to a week ago prom
ised to be somewhat tame, is in
creasing, and the next three weeks
promise to bring one Of the warmest,
as well as one of the most peculiar
campaigns, in the history Of the
state The interest seems just now
to be conferred around Senator Borah
and his fight for a direct primary
law, coupled with his open condem-
nation of the republican state plat
form, adopted at the Wallace conven-
ton. While there is nothing to in
dictate that the senator desires to see
the republican ticket defeated, his at
titude is nevertheless giving some of
the leaders uneasy hours. The state
central committee, called together to
meet what seemed to be an emergen-
cy, took the on1 y tenable ground
when it voted unanimously to stand
by the Wallace platform, which was
enacted by the same convention that
nominated the state ticket. This
means, no doubt, that the campaign
will be made along the lines origin
ally planned.
The situation is drawing the at
tention fthe politicians all over the
because of the national, or
reputation of Senator
and his work during the next
three weeks will be followed with the
closest interest.
The democrats are making their
in the state against the re-
publicans, paying little attention to
he progressives,, while the progress
i've leaders are working diligently all
over the state, according to reports,
and are directing their fight princi-
oally against Alexander. They are
expecting to benefit from the atti-
ude Of Borah and to draw heavily
rom the democrats who are not III
record with Alexander.
The situation, taken altogether, is
most interesting one. The campaign
speakers, especially the candidates
