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.

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. . J. A. COLE, v'M. F.. DA.NIELS. County Commissioners of Mason County, XVahington. Permanent wrtghway. July 7, 1920.

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.
