'The more certainer a man Is that
he Is rite, the moro possibler 1t Is for
him to be- roag."---Josh Billings.
Altho many years ago l remember
some things chat happened In lSt0
better than those which happened In
1915 In lss0 the democrats renomi-
mated Van Buren,, and the whigs nom
mated Gen, William Henry Harrl-
son. Some democrat said sneeringly,
Give Harrison q log cabin to live In,
and a barrel Of hard cider, and he VIII
never leave Ohio to be president"
The wings took up the log cabin and
hard cider as their battle cry. Great
poplar logs were dug out and shapea
into canoes, loaded on wagons in place
Of the wooden boxes, barrels OF hard
cider put In them, and hauled from
town to town in parade. Log cabins
were built vu wagons, barrels OK nara
cider put In them and a gourd from
which to drink Usually coon SKIN
was nailed to the door. The cabins
| were hauled in great professions from
town to town. Barrels of hard cider
were rolled from town to town by men
and boys in great crowds. Every
canoe and log cabin had its glee CLUB,
which sang campaign songs all day and
part of the night. can reUember only
snatches OF these songs. and one ran
| like this:
Come all you true friends OF the
nation,
Attend to humanity's call;
Come aid in your country's sa'Va-
ton,
And roll on the Tippecnoe ball.
Wen take drink of hard cider,
And vote for old Tippecanoe-
And vote for old Tippecanoe,
Wen take a drink OF hard cider,
And vote for old Tippecanoe.'
And they did II too.
The democrats raised some scanda-
lous stories about the battle OF Tippe-
canoe; called it human butchery. and
made up a song. 1t ran like this:
Next morning when the sun ala
rise,
Behold a bleeding sacrifice,
Where man and beast had found d
bed,
Some diving and the balance dead.
On my return, as drew nlsh
To the town of Chill1cothl.
The ladies gathered in band
And to me a petticoat did hand.
Then. like fool, stood there mute
And they dressed me UP IN petu-
coat.
In petticoat, without SWORD,
They laced me with corset board.
This ridiculous song was puoltshed
IN the papers and sung turnout the
campaign.

WHY NOT SERVICE cHEvRoN?

Editor Times Republican: Since the
signing Of the armistice many Amer
lean soldiers have returned from
France wearing gold brade chevron
upon the left sleeve Of the coat for
each six months of active service with
the American expeditionary force.
Immediately it caused comment and
recently 1t was brought to the atten-
| ton of the American soldier abroa d
that some one was scowling over the
service chevron saying that it made
too much distinction between the SOL
der who did not get across and those
who did,.
However ii is not the fault of the
soldier that he was not sent across to
fight, NOT those who did come, How
fortunate is he who remained in an
American camp at home. He has
missed million trials and hardships,
| with sleepless nights and nerve strain
ing days that six months, a year, or
more of service abroad have brought.
I have gone thru it all with my COM
rades, witnessed everything that war
| can bring, and shared alike with them.
I have seen troops drill in dust and
CRIME all day, week after week. and up
| shower bath to cool the srnarting body
at night. Then suddenly rushed to the
front to fight for their country, snatch
ing an hour of sleep in a dingy dug
out or shellhole, filled with rats and
mice, or a muddy trench with putrid
smell, and a rain Of bullets pouring in,
with breakfastless breakfast, and a
supperless supper. Lying face down all
night in the rain, and old FTitzie send
ing over the G. Is. star shells, rockets
! and gas. trying in vain to locate the
uncomfortable concealment that thou
sands and thousands Of soldiers used
for an abode, with the din Of battle
raging.
And then, after the American soldier
has endured 80 much for the love Of
| country and freedom, that democracy
might reign and the world once mor:
have peace, some one tries to provide
bin to make law that the soldier
be given no distinction for his service,
valor and bravery.
While the battle ragged the Stacker
sat in his easy chair, another hid be-
hind this wealth, with liberty bonds and
contributions, really not knowing what
country and home meant to MIN, and
then with the close OF activities, come
out with petty noise for fear just q
plain khaki who had faced hell might
receive some honor In his native land.
because Of trivial distinction.
Where have our red blooded and
loyal Americans gone, who fought and
worked at home, with undinted aravr
and skill, to support the American ex-
| peditionary force that it might be sues
cessful and achieve fame? To them lies
the right to speak, or say ttshall our
army have distinction or ruinT And
all who sneer let sneer, for may they
never know or feel the patriotism that
| the American soldier has carried in
| hin secret possession abroad, nor the
trials that he has 20 diligently under
gone, that freedom and food win To
tho world might reign Sarevsr.

LAUNCH CAMPAIGN

Advertising-Selling League Gave
Movement Big Start
Last Night.

A campaign to make Omaha one
of the leading aerial centers OF the
world will be officially started to-
night when members Of the newly
organized Omaha Aero club and the
Aerial Club of Nebraska will meet at
the Hotel Fontenelle for the purpose
Of consolidation.
The consolidation movement,
which has been advocated by both
clubs, was brought to head last
night when Fay l.. Faurote, man
ager of the educational and welfare
division of the Curtiss Airplane and
Motor corporation, addressed men,
bers of the Advertising and Selling
league of Omaha.
Details Plane History.
Mr.. Faurote gave detailed his
tory of the airplane, beginning with
its earliest stages and bringing it up
to the latest stage. Aerial naviga
ton in this country, he said, has
reached a stage where the only him
drance to its practical use for COM
mercial purposes is a lack of ade-
quate and safe landing fields.
Harley G. Conant, chairman of
the aerial navigation committee of
the Chamber of Commerce, in a
short speech outlined plans for a
new landing field in the spring. 1t
is to be 90-acre field, equipped
with up-to-date hangers and other
essentials. He called attention to
the efforts of neighboring cities to
establish themselves as aerial GEN.
tiers and urged that Omaha make
greater efforts to establish itself on
the air routes of the country.

THE commercial air navigation in
America is at the present time
handicapped by lack of suitable
landing fields"
Mr.. Faurote told of the construc-
ton of a great passenger airplane
by the Curtiss corporation, which
has already proved a success in
trial flights. The plane will carry
eight passengers, besides its crew,
he said, and will soon make flight
across the country.

Ward BURGESS
RETURNS FROM
LABOR MEETING
Omaha Man Explains Reasons
for Failure of Conference
to Settle international
Difficulties.

Collective bargaining and the steel
strike were the two causes for the
failure of the national industrial
meeting at Washington D. C., &C.
cording to Ward M. Burgess OF
Omaha. who returned yesterday
from Washington.
As a member of the body repre-
senting the public Mr.. Burgess was
able to size the situation up better
than members Of the employers or
labor bodies. The body represent
ing the public was for the most part
neutral during the controversy, he
said.
"The body representing the pub
lie was not against collective bar
gaining with some limitations" said
Mr.. Burgess. 1T was against col
lective bargaining which would force
man to join any organization, keep
him from choosing his own repre-
sentatives or prevent him advancing
if he had ability to do so, however.
Steel Strike Aids.
"The steel strike also strained the
relations between the employers and
labor representatives.
Asked concerning his disappear
ance from the conference, Mr.. Bur-
CESS explained that he had merely
gone to New York for day to see
Louis c. Nash of Omaha, who was
in the east at that time. There was
nothing Of Importance before the
conference at the time, he said.
Although there is an atmosphere
of unrest at Washington. there is
no fear in official circles of any kind
of a socialistic uprising in any part
of the country, Mr.. Burgess de-
clared. He prophesied that another
industrial conference would be held

Mysterious Stenographer
Takes Notes at Probe
Into Army Air Service

New York, Oct. 27.-The congress
sional subcommittee which re-
sumed the inquiry into alleged ir-
Irregularities in the army air service
put a mysterious, stenographer OH
the witness stand and found that
he was taking notes for John D.
Ryan, formerly director of aircraft
production.
The committee was inquiring par
ticularly into events leading un to
the construction by the Omitted
States OF railway in the Olympia
peninsula in the state of Washing
ton, connecting a spruce district
with the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul railroad. Mr.. Ryan is a
director of this road and has been
summoned to testify Wednesday.
The stenographer, w. I. Bleick,
of Butte, Mont, employed by L. 0.
Evans, an attorney for the Anacon-
da Copper company, said he was to
report to Mr.. Evans at the New
York Offices of the company, of
which Mr.. Ryan is president. He
was told he could continue to take
notes.
Franklin Helm, New York con-
tractor, testified that the original
contract made for the construction
of the railroad was changed at
Ryan's instance and that William
F. Carey of the contracting firm of
Stems, Carey and Kerbaugh. which
built the road, had been assisted in
getting financial backing for prof.
ects in China by Mr.. Ryan.
Mr.. Helm had harsh words with
members of the firm of Stems,
Carey and Kerbaugh when they got
the contract for themselves. He
