OFPFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS e PARTY POLITICS 014 traditions will no longer carry either party safely into the harbor of political control. .The average voter no longer looks back ward to the old issues which divided the old Qparties in the time of Jefferson, Jack- son, Lincoln, McKinley or even Wilson. ‘The burning question to him now is, “what of today and tomorrow?” Mystifying the leading issues of the day by “high-flutten” phrases and semi-evas- ive promises, with a little wet and dry sop !'n order to rally the masses to the colors lsl a thing of the past with American peo- ple. i 5 Delivering the “goods” counts—nothing else matters. The name Democrat or Re- publican no longer has its old meaning. The old time Democrat and the Old time Republican mphold practically the same issues and belong to the same party and therefore should -pool their interests and form a conservative party. N _The new time Republicans, ‘Democrats and Progressives should pool their inter- ests and form a progressive party, so that men would not be compelled to make-ex- cuses for belonging to a party today. The time is gone by when:the Repub- licans of the East and the Democrats of the South can compel the thinking con- sumers of the nation to swallow'a tariff such as recently became a law, without protest. . While .the Republicans;sustained’ losses in the election the Demograts made little if any conclusive gains, while ' the : real gains have been made by the so-called radicals. ) Gleaning the facts from 'the returns now compiled the Literary Digest point! it out pretty much as follows: . “Where Democrats of radical tendencies have faced conservative Republicans, they have either beaten them or cut down the previous; majorities. Where radical Re- publicans have faced conservative Dem- ocrats,.they ;have accomplished the same results. Party namés have failed to deter- mine..the: vote.”- Voters with radical sympathies have lined. up with radical candidates almost as generally as though there existed a great radical party. It has happened in thé east and in the west. The radicalism that has come into evidence in the last election ex- ceeds, sectional bounds. It has eaten into the very fibre of both old parties. _ The Fordney-McCumber tarriff law plow ed literal holes into the conservatives. The people knew how it would work and al- ready feel the effects of it. -"A law that will license an organized lass of favored few to prey 'upon @he ’j\mé’l‘i'can people for an indefinite period will not meet with the approval of the people, is the ery. It gimply permist these few to tax the people for their own enrich- ment. \ .<The-people have made sacrifices ga]pre in the past few years and these sacrifices must be shared in, by the big producers equally with the common people. il Ifthé party in power, and the big in- terests_will -study the situation and act accordingly, nothing but good should come from-“the troucing the people have given them;; It wagnot only deserved, but timely and if the warning it involves is heeded duringthe pext two years, so that pros- perity will exude in abundance the nation over, the Republicans may win in 1924, If fiot, the party deserves-mothing short of country syide defeat. .

GROWTH OF LONDON RETAR.DED Figures on the population of greater London show' that the war and the post- war period of depression have materially retarded its growth, says the New York Sun. Today London has 7,480,201 people This indicates an increase of only one quarter million since 1911, or 3 per cent, whereas during the decade from 1901 to 1911 the growth was 10.2 per cent. This slow growth is explained not only by loss of life during the war, but by the decline of the birth rate. In 1914 it had climbed to 18, and in 1920 it sank again to 12.4. The birth rate at the beginning of hostilities was 24.3 a 1,000, in 1917 it was 17.9, in 1920 it was 26.5. i 14 FARMING A BUSINESS Last year the Barron, Wis., creamery the largest farmers’ co-operative creamery in the country, paid farmers in Barron county alone $787,639.26. Its success in 1921 brought an increase of 130 patrons in the first half of 1922. Barron county is only about one third settled, yet it is a hive of industry, with diversified farming universally practiced. It has several canning factories. Its prize winning potatoes have made it a seed center. —1 FOLDING BEDS ANCIENT Four thousand years ago the Egyptians boasted folding beds. What is more sur- prising, 4,000 years ago the dwellers along the Nile cherished folding beds says the Detroit News. This significgant “bit of news brought to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a folding bed pur- loined from a tomb of Egypt proves that the folding bed was cherished as a luxury ., which only the very rich who could build ‘marvellous tombs could afford. NEWSPAPER READERS Figures of the daily newspaper circula- tion in the United States show that there is on the average one subscriber to every 8.6 inhabitants. Only seven states have a . proportion greater than one paper to every ten inhabitants, and one state fails to show as low as one in 37.1 says the Youth’s Companion. — A Holstein dance at the Turner Opera house is being advertised in the Watertown Daily Times. This may start the Guernseys to step some. — We read where a woman pushed her husband into the river, but he was rescued. She was apparently trying to drown her troubles. sy — The deep affection politicians manifest for the people would discredit the thought that sentiment is dying out in these times. —t This country now welcomes a new danc- e;i She, is called Wladislau, but not very often. .
