We had on our new $1.69 straw hats, And we each had a good 6-cent war cigar, It was bright and fair and pleasant There on the curb where we stood In the midst of a throng of A million parade watchers.

Down the avenue came the great procession.

Suddenly there was a tumult of cheers Which rose and fell and rose again, And hats were thrown in the air, And men yelled and women screamed, And Hank and I looked to see What was going on.

I NON PARTISANSHIP IN CITY ELECTIONS. The vexing question of whether party polities shall be left to operate in city elections under the proposed new city charter is up to the commissioners to decide.

They are anxious to reach such a i conclusion on the matter as shall be acceptable to the great majority of the people. I'll bet right now Woodrow wishes he were yon, Or me, and was standing on the curb in a. $1.49 Straw hat and smoking a good 6-cent war cigar, and'' Watching somebody else march by."

The second paragraph above, to be signed people generally It might be desirable for various church societies, lodges, clubs, improvement associations and other bodies of citizens to debate the matter and transmit their conclusions to the charter builders. i There is material aplenty on both sides for discussion. Most Jj njiblased persons would agree that they wouldn't care much whether municipal officials were republicans or democrats, provided worked faithfully, intelligently and efficiently for the weltare of the whole people and not for the good of their party. Surely like- wise, questions of high or low or no tariff, of sound money or new nationalism, are not at stake in the election of service directors and TROUBLES.

Your particular trouble is out of style-as soon as you pick up the next edition of the paper. 1 We are getting to the point where small things don't worry us "tfcy more.

Having prepared your will, call in three adults who are not interested In the provisions contained In your will; a legatee or devisee cannot sign as witness. Get these three witnesses in the same room with you, and let them all stay In that room until all four of you have signed. Then, in their presence, you sign the will that la the first thing you do after calling them in.

Having signed, tell them this is your, and that you want them to sign as witnesses. That is vital. They do not have to read the will. They will then sign, with their addresses, all remaining with you until all have signed. If you read over the attestation clause above, you will now see that the formalities stated therein have been completed.

The old argument that party politics leads necessarily to deal and dickers and bossism, is largely discounted by the direct primary system.

It is pledged to a benevo-) neutrality as between candidates at the primary.

It is not sup-i -posed to take sides for or against any candidate. Its duties before 5 primary seem to consist largely in seeing that the party ticket is filled, that at least one candidate comes out for each office, i Neutral before the primary the party committee is also bound to support all the party candidates nominated at the primary. Whether the men nominated particularly suit the committee or not, makes no difference. It is the committee's job, under the primary, to help raise money and run a campaign for whatever men win nominations at the primary. Old politicians who regretted the dwindling of importance of party committees have asserted that the primary didn't bring out as good men as the old convention plan, when a ticket could be se- fected by the smaller groups much more effectively than by the method of the primary, and argue that party committees "and party conventions were under normal conditions in the older forced to put up good tickets of expect defeat.

However the old convention plan, and with it the former powerful party commit-. tee with all its possibilities for abuse have gone into the discard. There is this to be said for the party participation in local poli-; tics. If the parties are allowed to take a hand in things they will at 'least see to it that good men seek nomination for all important offices and that an organized plan to get their qualifications before the 1 voters is made. Under the non partisan plan it has frequently happened that men are deterred from seeking office because they feel that if organized campaign is made for them, they must "build up their personal organization to conduct it, and this is exactly what the advocates of non partisanship do not want.

In the so-called non- partisan judicial elections, for instance, the big advantage has so far around here lain with the men already in office, who have become inown to the mass of voters by the very fact that they are holdine IT looked to me INTO the sunset a a a AND were gone a a AND I a a a TRIPLE distilled pup a a a THAT I am a a a FELL a-wondering a a a AS I walked homeward a a a HOW it would be a a a IF I'd hunt 'em up a a TEX years from now a a a WHEN they were in the midst a a a OF ens of those a a a AMICABLE discussions, a a a THAT come to most married folks a a a AS to whose fault it was a a a FOR example a a THAT they were late a TO the show AND had to stand up a a IX tight shoes a ALL through the first act a a a AND I'd tell 'em a a a AT this time a a a a a a LIKE an automobile a a THAT he was driving a AXD putB his elbows a a a ON the table a a a AND draws diagrams a a OX the table cloth a a AXD maybe even sops bread a a a IX his coffee TILL I saw the faces HIGH-CLASS GUARANTEED PAINLESS DENTISTRY a a a OF his passengers 9 I WAS wrong THEY were floating away Beautiful and Whitf- a a a IX a craft of gold a ON an azure sea a a AND the God of Love Dependable silks: Jare not bought I jfrom peddlers OUR PRICES AND MATERIALS CANNOT BE BEAT WAS at the a a AND the wind 4" 0 GOLD CROWNS BRIDGE WORK Porcelain Crowns Their opponents face a big handicap from the start, and SATIN soft HOW they looked a a a a a AS a baby's fingers AT Hall's corners a a a AND scented of wild roses aaa.

To be sure a tendency toward longer tenures of office has its obvious advantages, if this should be a result in non-; partisan elections, but such longer tenures should be based on more I tangible facts than that the men in office are better known than those -who seek to replace them. It is suggested that committee of good citizens, either elected by people, or self chosen and self perpetuating, might serve as nominating committees to pick out two sets of candidates at each election. Room would be left of course for independent nominations oi others who cared to run.

Undoubtedly such committees could make a more careful selection than the hit-and-miss primary, and a Similar nominating committee plan has given fair satisfaction pro-j vided it is not too closely and too obviously manipulated, in such I kmaller groups "as chambers of commerce, clubs and societies. This movement is one which normally should be somewhat more efficent and quite a bit less democratic than the present plan, with all its Undoubtedly the charter commissioners have considered all these possibilities and will try to make wise recommendations to the people. But the people as well should be considering these things And if they have convictions one way or the other should not hesi-. tate to convey them to the commission. It is better to help the commissioners reach a satisfactory conclusion now than to register a simple 'No" on the conpleted charter plan this fall and leave Akron where it is with all the glaring faults of our present municipal system of government.

The commissioners are more than willing to learn the sentiment of the voters. They don't want to recommend something which the voters will throw out. They are putting in a vast deal of time and careful study of city government and are not desirous that this shall all go for nothing. The citizenship should express itself, if it has convictions on these points, now, rather than when the work is all done. The ramifications of the argument on partisanship are many and various and the discussion here has just touched a very few of them.

After all, getting back to the main question, there is room to dut.cwhether ia view of national and international conditions the old differences between republican and democratic parties will exist in the future anything like the form they have in the past.
