Promptly at 8 o'clock Mendolsshus wedding march was rendered by Miss Jennie Miser, the bride and groom marched in, accompanied by Chas. Hendrix as best man and Miss Jessie Spencer, of Keokuk, as bridesmaid and stood in the east wing of the parlor which was tastefullv decorated with potted plants and wild crabapple blosoms. The words which united them for life were spoken by Rev. B. G. Hankins, pastor of the M- E. church at this place.

The prosperity of the United States depends upon the policy of the politi- cal party in power. It is not the purpose of this article to contend that this is a good state of affairs or a bad one. But it is the in- tention to state so all who read may understand it, that the first para- graph of this article is a fact. This being the case, it follows that the voter should regard it as his, im- perative duty to see that the men ^vho are selected to carry out these poli- cies are men who will reflect the greatest credit on the nation and the state they represent. That responsi- bility now rests more heavily on the voter than ever before. If the primary law gets the "government closer to the people" than is done by the cau s cus, then by the same token the re- sponsibility of the people must be greater than it was by the caucus. Politics is business and business is politics. Added responsibility means that we have got to give more study, thought and care to the proposition. That is one of the features of the pri- mary law. If the voter is to be direct- ly responsible, then he must seriously consider whom he is voting for at the primary election this year, as well as the years to follow. A condition and not a theory some- time confronts us In city, county or state politics, and we pay but the usual attention to it. We just kind of guess it will be all right anyway, and let it go at that. But we have just now reached a lime when It will not do to "let it go ftt that." We have legislated our- selves into a responsibility that must be realized and after we have come to a realization of this responsibility, we must shoulder it On the second of next month, the voters of Iowa, for the first time in the history of the state, will signify by ballot at the polls, the man whom they wish to represent (owa in the senate of the United States. Thoy will also express in the same manner, their choice to represent this district in the house of representatives. Every man who Is going to vote at that primary should study deeply the'< responsibility of that vote. He should | study the records and get information j concerning the different candidates,! and inform himself so that he : can definitely decide in his own mind which man he thinks is the most like- ly to use his judgment and influence for the business and moral welfare of the country—the prosperity of the entire nation. Every voter should get it indelibly fixed in his brain that there is vastly more responsibility attached to voting for a man who is going to occupy an office in which he helps frame laws for the government of this whole coun- try, than there Is in voting for some minor office. We want to say to the voters of Iowa, when you are voting for a man who is going to occupy a seat in the councils of the nation, who is going to help formulate the laws that are to govern all the states and possessions, it is your duty to study deeply as to how you cast that vote, and who you cast It for. Bring yourself to a reali- zation of these things—that you are voting for men who are to form measures that will concern you and your neighbor and your neighboring state, and that you- aa a voter, must. in your own conscience, assume your part of . the responsibility for the acts of the man you are voting for.

A DEEP RESPONSIBILITY.

The prosperity of the United States

depends upon the policy of the politi­

cal party in power.

It is not the purpose of this article

to contend that this is a good state of

affairs or a bad one. But it is the in­

tention to state so all who read

may understand it, that the first para­

graph of this article is a fact.

This being the case, it follows that

the voter should regard it as his, im­

perative duty to see that the men ^vho

are selected to carry out these poli­

cies are men who will reflect the

greatest credit on the nation and the

state they represent. That responsi­

bility now rests more heavily on the

voter than ever before. If the primary

law gets the "government closer to

the people" than is done by the caus

cus, then by the same token the re­

sponsibility of the people must be

greater than it was by the caucus.

Politics is business and business is

politics. Added responsibility means

that we have got to give more study,

thought and care to the proposition.

That is one of the features of the pri­

mary law. If the voter is to be direct­

ly responsible, then he must seriously

consider whom he is voting for at the

primary election this year, as well as

the years to follow.

A condition and not a theory some­

time confronts us In city, county or

state politics, and we pay but the

usual attention to it. We just kind

of guess it will be all right anyway,

and let it go at that.

But we have just now reached a

lime when It will not do to "let it go

ftt that." We have legislated our­

selves into a responsibility that must

be realized and after we have come to

a realization of this responsibility, we

must shoulder it

On the second of next month, the

voters of Iowa, for the first time in the

history of the state, will signify by

ballot at the polls, the man whom they

wish to represent (owa in the senate

of the United States. Thoy will also

express in the same manner, their

choice to represent this district in the

house of representatives.

Every man who Is going to vote at

that primary should study deeply the'<

responsibility of that vote. He should |

study the records and get information j

concerning the different candidates,!

and inform himself so that he : can

definitely decide in his own mind

which man he thinks is the most like­

ly to use his judgment and influence

for the business and moral welfare of

the country—the prosperity of the

entire nation.

Every voter should get it indelibly

fixed in his brain that there is vastly

more responsibility attached to voting

for a man who is going to occupy an

office in which he helps frame laws

for the government of this whole coun­

try, than there Is in voting for some

minor office.

We want to say to the voters of

Iowa, when you are voting for a man

who is going to occupy a seat in the

councils of the nation, who is going

to help formulate the laws that are to

govern all the states and possessions,

it is your duty to study deeply as to

how you cast that vote, and who you

cast It for. Bring yourself to a reali­

zation of these things—that you are

voting for men who are to form

measures that will concern you and

your neighbor and your neighboring

state, and that you- aa a voter, must.

in your own conscience, assume your

part of . the responsibility for the acts

of the man you are voting for.
