WEDNESDAY, APRIL p, 1920.
JOHNSON VS.. WOOD

The policies that Candidate johnson
stands for are the opposite of nearl,
everything championed by Candidate
Wood.
Wood represents financial repub-
Iicanism, and also the republicanisn
Of the Mark Hanna brand that con.
tended that there was no such thing as
q bad trust.
Johnson represents radical repub.
licanism, the republicanism that pam
ders to the spirit of unrest and SYM
pathizes with every movement trend
ing toward Mundanism.
AS presidential nominee Johnson
would certainly be beaten in New
York, and probably beaten in all Of the
Atlantic coast states.
And no candidate like Wood, who is
backed by the old trust-fostering,
scarce-money crowd could carry the
d 4 p z i ~ I . I'd F. " /.
Pacific coast states, or states like
Michigan in the Central West.
Johnson and Wood represent antag-
onistic forces, forces that are further
apart than either Of them are from
the Nationalism Of the Democratic
party.
Johnson says that under no consid-.
Grafton will he accept vice presiden-
promising today as he was in 1916,
and the split in the Republican party
seems as broad today as it ever was.
About the only thing that the factions
seem able to agree upon is partisan
hate for President Wilson.

polling neither obedience to the laws
nor the suppression of crime, nor even
outward respect for any form Of es-
tablished authority. Popular hostility
to the Government throughout the
greater part of Ireland today is so
deep-seated and widespread as to rem
der impossible any Parliamentary adj
adjustment of the Irish question. II
the new Home-Rule Bill should pass,
it is certain to be rejected by the r.
ish leaders and their followers as a
meaningless concession.
What is to be the outcome no one
can forsee. Premier Lloyd George has
been man of many minds as occa-
sion periodically suggested buthemust
look to the future Of Ireland with re-
greet and apprehension after his re-
peated blunders in seeking a passing
compromise among his political allies.

In recent address at Boston Assist

denounced the "fifty seven" varieties
OF investigation going on at Washing

for the purpose Of bedaubing every
glorious record made by America in

HOWARD BAKER

Howard Noble Baker, the eldest son
of Noble and Elsie Baker, was born
near Lamont, Buchanan County, Iowa
on April 18th, 1890, and died at Mercy
Hospital, Dubuque, Iowa, April IL,
1920, aged 80 years and day. When
he was two years old the family moved
to Decatur, Ill. They lived there until
the death of his father in 1899 when
his mother with her children returned
to Iowa near Edgewood. Five years
later the family went to La Porte,
Texas, to make their home. In Feb
ruary, 1910, the subject of this sketch
came back to this state. On March
20, 1912, he was united in marriage
with Miss Jennie l.. Stone. Two
children were born to them, Maxine
and Marian, who, with their mother,
remain to mourn the loss of loving
husband and father. Besides he is
survived by his mother, two sisters,
Mrs. Ethel Roeder, of Houston, Texas.
and Mrs. Louise Lynch, of Fremont.
Iowa; and one brother, Richard, who
also lives at Fremant, Iowa. Last
winter he was taken with Spanish In
fluenza and while he recovered suffi-
GENTLY to take up his usual work on
| the farm, he was not we'll man. A
few days ago he was taken worse and
last Saturday in hope of prolonging
his life he was taken to the hospital at
Dubuque where he submitted to an OPP
Grafton. 1t did not avail, though
every care was given him by his
mother and his wife and the nurses
in addition to the skill of the surgeon,
and he passed away. The body was
brought back to Edgewood to the
home of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Emma Waite. Mr. Baker in his boy
hood, while living in Texas, was con-
verified and united with the Methodist
church. He was hardworking man
striving to the extent of his powers
to provide home and support for
his family. His ideals were high and
his life that of an honest and indust-
rious man. He had a large number
Of friends who sorrow for his early
passing. The funeral services Were
held in the Methodist church on Thurs
day morning, Apr. Is, 1920, in charge
of the Rev. S. G. Bretnall, and the re.
mains were laid away in Green Hill
Cemetery. Xxx

CHAIRMAN CUMMINGS SAYS q
BRAINS WON THE WAR.

V u
Homer 8. Cummings, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, de-
lvered keynote. address at the Iro-
quot s club in Chicago yesterday. He
made a vigorous attack on the action
of Congress in defeating the peace
treaty and league OF nations. and par
ticuIarly the methods by which the
control Of the foreign relations COM
mittee was held by the Republicans.
"The whole. fight on the league ,ot
nations dates back to A-corrupt cleo
ton in Michigan" he said, ,"and a
convicted criminal s,is the thing upon
which Republican supremacy rests. I"
He was convinced, that the people
1T the United States wanted the

congress had debated The Peace
Treaty for eight months and had failed
to pass one piece Of legislation.
Turning to the war, he declared

for this leadership, he maintained,

to credit. 1T matters not what they
may say Of President Wilson" he
added. "His fame is immortal and fu-
ture generations will render tributes
sof praise and obligation to this great
Democrat"

THE IRISH SITUATION.

By it's sudden decision to release the
hunger-striking Irish prisoners at
Dublin the Lloyd George government
confessed that no other course was
open to it. 1t was powerless to coerce
them; through their helplessness they
forced it to surrender on their terms.
After ten days it had failed to break
the will of a single one of the hunger
strikers It had succeeded only in
making martyrs of them in the eyes of
the Irish people. The general strike
called by the trade unions as a protest
pointed plainly to more serious dis
turbances if any of them should die in
prison.
It is too late, evidently, for Premier
Lloyd George to talk Of Cancellation
by any means that he might consent
to offer. The release of the hunger
strikers will win him no friends among
the Irish, for it came only after he had
been defied and beaten in an open con-
test. Step by step he has plunged
recklessly ahead from one difficulty to
another until the situation in Ireland
has become more grave than ever be-
fore. The government, for want of any
policy that met the desires of the IT.
ish people, has been driven back upon
military occupation as desperate ex-
pedient, and military occupation A-s
proved to be complete failure, COM

A PROCLAMATION

TO THE PEOPLE OF IOWA:
/ The air is again filled with the frag-
rance of young life. The Springtime
season is here. Beauty in newness
meets the eye everywhere.
The stately and aged giants of the
forest have. reused themselves from
the slumber Of winter and with bud
and blossom announce again their per-
petual life and usefulness. They
teach q lesson Of activity and utility.
Trees are both Unitarian and Orna-
mental. ' They were the protector OF
the pioneer, and are the necessity Of
present and future generations He,
who plants and nurtures a tree, has
left an estate for the children Of to-
morrow; and on the other hand, he
who destroys tree without putting
another in its place, has robbed the
children Of tomorrow Of gift nature
intended for them
Az q people and state, We hGyo
been wasteful and destructive Of ma
lures gift In tree and forest until to-
day there Is not enough left to proper
ly and adequately house our people
and supply their needs. Can we afford
longer to continue our present inaction
toward the problem Of replenishing
the trees and forests of our state? The
problem is so vital not alone to our
selves, but to the future q cur coun-
try, that we should act Every cfti-
zen and every organization within the
State should have some part In plant
ing trees this springtime, and espec-
tally is this true of the boys and girls
in the schools.
Permit this one suggestion that each
community plant tree, or trees, as q
memorial to the soldiers who gave
their lives In th4 late War; Let tfisi
planting be done with appropriate ex-
ercise, and II possible with ex-service
men present. Let a record be made
OF the event and, someone be appoint
ed to nurture and care for the tree, or
trees, thus planted.
BY doing this, lessons Of patriotism
will be taught; the memory Of .sacri-l
flee made, will have living monu-
ment, and our debt to the future will
be acknowledged and in part paid.
Therefore, l, w. l.. Harding, Cover
nor of the state of Iowa, do proclaim
Friday, April 80, 1920, ARBOR DAY.
to be observed throughout the state
by all the people by the planting OF
trees.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused to
be affixed the Great Seal Of the State
of Iowa.
