United States, by his act, Endorsed
the cynical assertion.
Col. Harvey says that Mr. Hughes,
had he been President and had he
been confronted by the brotherhoods'
demand, would have responded, in
effect, that he sympathized with the
just demands of labor; that, person
ally, he believed in an eight-hour
day, but as IL was a matter, not of
hours of labor, but of wages, which
could not be fairly determined with
out full investigation, he would APP
point an impartial commission of ar
bitration, but that they would not
act and would not urge Congress to
act under threats of duress. That
is what Hughes would have done, in
stead of stridently declaring that he
would yield to no man firm adj
herence to the principle of arbitra-
ton" while actually yielding in
practice at that very moment.
National Honor.
Justice would have been rendered
by an impartial tribunal, there would
have been no strike, and the hon
or and majesty of the Nation would
have been preserved.
Regarding the issue of national
honor and opportunity, Col. Harvey
SAYS that he would not recount the
many episodes of the last three years
which have flushed the cheeks of our
countrymen with shame and humili-
alton. 1t suffices to say that no long
er can an American stand erect be-
fore any tribunal in the world and
declare with pride and confidence his
citizenship. Whatever may be
thought of Wilson's unenviable po-
sition at home, it is certain he has
no friends abroad. Even tho his
misfortune be one of uncomfortable
circumstances rather than of waver-
ing ineptitude. the fact exists that
in all Europe he is one of the most
mistrusted and condemned of men
whose tender of mediation in the
name of justice. fairness and hui
mainly will be rejected unanimous
ly with derision and scorn. As
purely practical matter, then. if we
should indeed serve mankind, the
way of opportunity is barred to Mr.
Wilson and is wide open to Mr.
Hughes, who in consequence of his
previous immolation, stands alone
among our public men and uncom-
mitted and unsupported and who is
known to the outside world only as
great and just judge, versed i'm the
affairs of nations and alive to the
needs of humankind.
Concluding. Col. Harvey says, we
can say plainly that the utter alb
sence of self-seeking on the part OF
Mr.. Hughes thruout his entire ca
reer confirms the belief that he stands
for America first; while no less sure
ly the happenings of the past two
years eliminating in the betrayal of
his country for the qualification OF
personal ambition, prove incontesta-
bly, that Mr.. Wilson stands for Will
son first.
Upon the clearly marked issues
and as between the candidates there
is no reason why any protested Re
publican, thoughtful Progressive or
principled Democrat should not, and
every reason why every patriotic
American should vote for Charles E.
Hughes for President.

of them will be lonely old men; some

The sons and the grandsons may be

Tales of the Town

Over the new-turned sod
The sons of our fathers stand,
And the fierce old fight
Slips out of sight
In the clasp of brothers hand.
For the blood left a stain
That the new has washed away,
And the sons of those
That have faced as foes
Are marching together today.
Oh, the roses we plucked for the blue
And the lilies we twined for the gray
We have bound in one wreath,
And in silence beneath
Slumber our heroes today
Albert Bigelow Paine.
The thin blue line of 1861 is fading

same old blue.

If Memorial day emphasizes to the
American people one fact more than
any other, it is that the price of peace
is human life. Fifty years have passed
since Grant and Lee met at Appomat-
tox, during which period a war debt
of billions has been practically paid,
a ravaged country wholly rehabilitat-
ed, industry and commerce developed,
and wonderful achievements made In
the arts and sciences, all accomplished
at tremendous cost. Yet today the
millions paid, the tremendous effort
put forth, the great burdens then as
sumed, count for less than the loss to
the nation in human life. Today,
North and South, only men, brave
men, are mourned as their graves are
strewn with flowers It sometimes
seems that, in the rush and roar OF
life, even the price of peace has been
paid without regret. But life is DIS
stimulation. In hundreds of thousands
of homes there are faded portraits
tattered uniforms, little reminders OF
a thousand sorts which in quiet hour
are again and again baptized IN tears
as they suggest personal loss, blasted
hopes, destroyed happiness, and stlll'
these but quicken memories that are
ever with those who really PAID the
nriee lust as the ceremonies and ex-
ercises of next Tuesday will bring
back more wildly the partings, the
anxious days, the terrible news OF 5o
wears ago. In the very words ME

Eameries. He pays the Macon
eamery high compliments. saying its
duct is of the best, and compares
Forably with any in the United
ties, not barring the Elgin. ILL.,,
eameries, and it compares favorably
Eh them in the way it is run. One
king fact he mentions is that the
con Creamery is and has been for

pound to the farmers for their but
fat than any other creamery in Mis-
Pippi.

local establishments are doing bet

zlr. Sondergaard is a Dane and for
Fly ran a creamery in Denmark. It
Interesting to hear him tell of dairy
there. The dairymen of Denmark
feed stuff here, haul it across the
antic and still make money. This
do by cooperation and by keeping
larry products up to a very high
ndard. They don't have Jersey

a cow halfway between a Jersey
a H~olstein. and the other very
h like a Holstein but smaller. He
the Jersey is the best adapted to

ter would like to have a few of
Danish ones).
he Macon Creamery is a great

Is putting a good bit of money in
llation here every week, and most
that money is brought here from

at a low cost and as Mr..

getting the better of that. 1t has
tut a product that has added to

The Weather

The thermometer last Saturday
night fell to "a and Sunday morning
there was a light frost and a thin skim
of ice in exposed places. Much uneasi-
ness was felt for young vegetables as
in nearly every garden tomatoes,
beans, squash and other tender plants
had been out of the ground for ten
days and the prospects of having to do
it all over again were very ominous.
Some Of the farmers we're uneasy
about the cotton planted which was
about to sprout. Luckily. though,
very little damage was done and the
chances of damage by Jack Frost are
now very much reduced. The Their.
