DEWEY AND PERSHING

Under the above caption, the Wash

ing very interesting comparison of
the political parallel of the two
houses
When Admiral Dewey sank the
Spanish feetin Manila bay and
practically put the Philippine Islands
at the mercy of America, the coun-
try rang with his praises. Every

had given so fine an account of h'rl.
self and reflected SO much credit on
the nation. After a season he came
home! and his reception, both in
New York and in this town, was en-
thusiastic to the limit His heart
was warmed by the manifestations
OF sincere admiration.
"SpWe democratic politicians
sought to appropriate the hero OF
the hour, and use him for their OWL
purposes, A Dewey boom for Presi

in mind the defeat of Mr., Bryan fol

So the hope was to put Mr.. Bryan
nose out of joint with the victor Of
Manila bay, As Admiral Dewey was
vermonter, it seemed likely he
was q republican. But his boomers
assumed that a presidential nomina

that he would consent to carry the
democratic standard.

Mr.. Rood is one of the most enthu-

THE boomee refused to encourage
it; and Mr.. Bryan proved to be as
strong in his party as Mr.. Mckinley
in his. Both were renominated By
reclamation. >ts.qssle
General Pershing is now very
much in the public eye. Great praise
is being bestowed upon him for his
work in France, and everybody is
joining in it. In time he will return
home, and receive, as Admiral Dew
ey did, the fullest evidence of the
country's appreciation of his serv.
ices.
Again there are politicians seek
ing to appropriate the hero of the
hour for their own purposes. This
time they are republicans. 1t seems
to be conceded that Mr.. Wilson is
the master of the democratic situa
ton, and will either stand again for
the presidency, or name the candi.
date. So the purpose is ITO make
General Pershing the republican
candidate. AS he is Missourian, the
popular guess is that he must be a
democrat. But his boomers assume
that presidential nomination. will
Prove irresistible, and that he will
consent to carry the republican
standard in 1920.
"How General Pershing will view
this activity to anybody's guess
Just now he is occupied with other
and very different. business; and
the time for his return has not
been fixed. Meanwhile, as a celeb
rity, he may expect. to figure in a
good deal of speculation"

very greatly the membership of the
County Farm Bureaus. The farm bu.

THE decision on the part of the
Federation of Farm Bureau of the

the U. s. Secretary Of Agriculture D.
F. Houston wherein he stated that the
wartime activity on the part OF the
American farmer for increased food
production would not be dismissed by
the coming Of peace but would rath-
er be increased by it. America will
be called upon to provision large
part of the belligerent countries. One
of the most effective agencies for in
creasing production is better organ,
ization among the farmers themsels
