THE FREAKCIRCUS.
The malcontents of the .flatten are gathered in con-
vention in Chicag0,: pr0balJiy::ithe plural stf0uld be used
as there are fully a dozenrump Outfits trying to frame
up a jazz platform, and their antics are amusing. First
there is the Committee of Forty-Eight, proclaimed as
the original third party; the various labor parties, the
Single Taxers, the N0n-partisian League, and alleged
American Party, and several other soviet and radical
organizations. The task of harmonizing such a com-
bination of all the "isms" can well be imagined. None
of the real farmer organizations of the country seem to
be represented.
At last accounts the Labor Party, with its better
organization had shoved through its socialistic planks,
which even the radicals could not stomach, and taken
control of the convention, soSh'0st of the others pulled
• " sideration resolved and ordered
out. LaFollette, who is crazy to lead most any thlrd-I Tt Erl F lickinon of Sielton
• " Washington be a.nd he is hereby ap-
party movement for president, advised that he w0uldlpointed County' Construction Engineer
r Ei h r of Mason cou.ty. Washington .
not stand for the labor platform, and the Fo ty- g te s, I Do,e in ,.egalar session this 6th
day el luly ]q20
as well as the Single Taxers, America and Non-Parti- .... w A UlTl
sans elements all pulled out and may select presidents " " Ch;iAlan.
Of their own. The fate of a country in the hands of such
a medley of freak and vicious ideas, all un-American
and designed to break down the best and most liberal
form of government civilization has so far advanced,
can well be imagined.
THE HOME MUST SUFFER.
The canning season is here and the powers-that-be
have not abated the price of sugar a jot: However,
there is some prospect of lower prices for this necessary
commodity, not because of any govermental, action, but
by reason of the sad fact that housewives are slacking
on their canning op'eratiGris'afid sugar is piling up in
the warehouses. To force this result the home must
suffer next winter, and the blame should be laid where
it belongs--to a wilful Democratic blunder.
;3 WANTED--A WOMAN.
The County Board has indicated its willingness to
direct that the usual county fair be held this fall, 9o-
riding some suitable person would come forward a:ld
accept the position of president nd assume full charge.
They indicated that some Mason County woman would
be preferred.
It hardly seems as though the ten previous fair
had exhausted the number of public spirited citizens
who are willing to assume a labor of community love and
take up the burden of a county fair, yet it must be ad-
mitted that the job is not inviting.
Certainly Mason County should not le the Fair
go )y one year, because there is more than ever before
€he n,ed for encouraging agriculture av, d production in
every way possible, and nothing can do this so well as
the showing the farmers can make for each other. Let
/ the farmers take up the matter in earnest and choose
from among their number one able and willing o take
up the work, some farmer's wife preferred.
.., ' '"i-',:;.:., ;€,*, .... t ,.=.:l'" "
" The unfortunate thing about the third party--any
third party in this age--is that it is sure to attract an
element lacking in the conception of what constitutes a
true American citizen. Wherein all such parties are
foredoomed to failure, and the old Republican and Dem-
:ocratic parties will fight it. out for some time to com.
If the old parties are in their dotage they have lost none
0f their best people. .

The following resolution was adopted:
Part of the Journal of proceedings of
the Board of County Commissioinor
of Mason County, Washington/ had a
the 1st meeting of the July term,
thereof.
Tile board of County Commissioners
in and for Mason County, V'ashington,
met in the Commissioners room in the
Court House at Shelton, Washington
on the 8th day of July, 1920, all mem-
bers thereof belng present, it being
the 1st nVeeting of the July 1920. term,
and among other business the follow-
sing_ resolution wa pused.

and its Treasurer. having notified this
• Board of County Commt.Kloners of its
willingness to advance .the cash money
to purchase a Sixty Thousand Dollar
=::I *" "THE KEPT PRESS," i2,*t.-
It has become quite the habit for those persons
inclined to have a grouch at the world, when the
foresaid grouch could oftentimes be directed to
themselves, to refer to newspapers not in touch with
their moods as "the kept press," owned by some ul-
terior influence• They forget at the press which
does cater to and magnify the ills of humanity is
always controlled by some organization in which
most radical elements have grasped control for sel
fish and class motives and find profit in deluding
their own fellows. They usually make small' head-
way beyond their own circles because of their wild
utterances which disgust the average conservative
citizen.
Looking backward pver a long period this
editor cannot recall any material statements the
Journal has ever made which have not been fairly
well fulfilled; crtainly none of wilful misrepresen-
tation. It has been possible to maintain such a
course because it is owned and controlled solely by
hose whose names ap.pear at its masthead, inde-
pendent of any individual 6r corporate influence
whatever, and responsible only .to" the "people of
Mason County wth whom ts lot s cast. The large
city daily )apers usually represent large invest
ment andare more or less Unde corporatecontrol
and dictation, but the average counti, y newspaper
is a p,,ower unto itself, cloSestto the people and the
real unkept press. '
