The Campaign just brought to
close, with such an emphatic verdict
rendered ought to mark the last of
such, in the United States for at least
a half century or more. No man who
has been a witness to Presidential
Election Campaigns has known one
where such bitterness and vile SLAM
der has been INDUCED in. The re-
markable vote given one of the Can
didates in his own home section and
the fact that the other lost his home
precinct is proof-positive that the
Country will not stand for such tactics
as were resorted to in the closing
days. No party has ever won a VIC
tory by that method none ever
should win, and in all probability we
who participated in the election Of
Tuesday will not live to see another
campaign waeed so largely upon I'M
supportable charges, abuse and utter
intolerance of the will and feelings
of the opposition.

We may miss the mark so far as to
shoot in the opposite direction, but
We predict shat before another year
will have passed, the United States
of America will become a party to an
agreement with the Powers now sign
atory to the Covenant of the League
of Nations so much discussed during
the past several months. But the
League or agreement we become a
party to will leave the sovereignty of
America in Washington and our free
dom in our own hands beyond the
shadow of a doubt. We have always
beer for something of the sort, ana
we believe that the Country is also
inclined that way, yet TO go too far,
to surrender too much, amounted to
suicide, so it was viewed and the Ma
tOn'S voice as expressed Tuesday we
believe was in direct approval of what
the so-called Senate Oligarchy did
in Americanizing the document. Mr..
Wilson chose to force the Democrats
into the campaign upon the issue of
whether or not the Country should ac-
lcept the pact just as he delivered it
TO the Senate, or with some minor
changes or reservations which meant
nothing at all, or with the reserva-
tions as adopted or no League. IL
that question was what the people
voted upon Tuesday, We ought never
TO hear any thing more about the
"Senate Oligarchy." If il was the
Wilson Administration in general
that caused the immense vote to be
polled for Harding then he, is the
most thoroughly discredited, or rath-
er his administration is, of any or all
who have gone before. If il was
the character of campaign INDUCED in
that caused the landslide, then Mr..
Cox's reputation stands out as being
the most complete ON record. To sum
mp just what would be the main
cause of the overwhelming avalanch
is something no one could do, per-
haps to the satisfaction of any very
large group of individuals as one
would meet them.

IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS

One of the tasks for Congress at
the next session will be the framing
of a government for the Virgin Is
lands, the report of the Congression-
al Investigation Commission, which
visited the islands last spring, reach
ing Congress too late for considera-
ion at the last session. In the mean
time, American ideals and institu-
tons are being brought home to the
citizens of these newest insular pos
sessions of the United States, thru
the agency of the American Red
Cross.
Thru the Junior Red Cross, the
youth of these islands, whose connec-
lions in the past were almost alto
gether European, are becoming ac-
quainted with the customs of their
new parent, Danish laws and Gus
toms, however, still predominant.
With the assistance of the American
Library Association, the Junior Red
Cross is establishing a chain of IL
braries in ST. Thomas and St. Croix,
the principal cities on the islands.

SCHOOL FAIR here
LARGELY ATTENDED
First Project Draws More
Than Is Schools In
Competition.

The School Fair held here Oct. %
under auspices of the Hartford Higl
School, by far surpassed the fondes
expectations of those having il il
charge. More than is schools par
ticipated in some of the various con.
tests. The parade from the College
to the Fair Grounds was we'll arrang.
ed and more than could have been
asked or expected. Nocreek School,
with Capt. c. B. Shown teacher, en-
joyed the honor of first place for best
display in the parade. Various
stages or periods of progress made by
the United States was depicted in
splendid form. In fact all of the
schools did splendidly and both teach
er and pupil deserve much credit.
The display of rivalry in many con-
tests was keen, yet the spirit of good
feeling and fellowship was at all
times and everywhere prevalent and
strongly in evidence, and the unani-
nous opinion was to the effect that
it was a great day socially and for the
Sch OILS in this section.

nifty to properly shape the program

THOSE 1918 TAGS

Orange and black are out of fash
ion In Florida this year as proper COL
ors for automobile license tags. The
State of Illinois has appropriated
Florida's 1919 tag, both as to size and
colors' while Michigan is also on the
color scheme, but has chosen smaller
letters and figures, Most folks do not
like Florida's style for 1920, it being
difficult to distinguish the letters and
figures, due to the more delicate col
orings adopted by the State authori-
ties. 1t would take an artist to prop
erly designate these cofors profess
sionally, but the point is this-orange
and black are not IN style. The sher-
if is the authorized person to init.
mate to owners of automobiles sport
ing last years license numbers thai
these are out of date. 1t seems too
bad to have to change, but the law is
supposed to be inexorable. Come to
think about it, some folks have only
one tag displayed, The law says there
must be two one on the front and the
other on the rear of the car. st, An
gustine Record.

WARD ESCAPES FROM cAPToRs
Man Wanted $4,000 Worth by Gov.
eminent Drops OF Train at
Washington

Federal agents all over the coun-
try today are searching for Gerald
Ward, alias Richard Warner, the
$4,000 bird" who flew away from
Tailor G. L. Wilson while being trans
ported from Tampa to New York
city, last Friday. Wards description
had been posted everywhere before
his recent capture In st. Petersburg
by Deputy u, s. Marshal Will Spen-
Ger, hence a nationwide net was
quickly set as soon as his escape was
reported.
Ward was arrested two weeks ago
while trying to visit his mother, ut
st. Petersburg. He was so badly
wanted by the government for alleged
smuggling and white slavery that
word was sent here not to take any
chances, even il he should offer $780,
900 In cash bonds, When captured
by Spencer the fugitive made every
effort to avoid going to Jail, offering
to pay 5000 a night to whatever off
Ger Spencer might appoint as his
guard. Spencer was taking no chan
ces, and Ward remained in custody
here until last Monday when Deput.
Marshal A. P. Sigmans and Jailol
Wilson took him to Jacksonville
where Deputy Marshal A. j. Brigancs
took Sigmans' place.
Last Friday, as the train carrying
Ward and his guards approached
washington, Ward prevailed on viii
son to permit him to enter the toilet
Brigance, without sleep for 36 hours
had turned in for nap, and Wilson
who had perfect confidence in hi
prisoner, permitted Ward to enter thu
toll unaccompanied. 1t is not known
whether Ward jumped from the win
dow of the toilet or mingled with pas
sengers getting out at the Seventh
street stop in Washington. Ware
never returned and Wilson's faith ii
human nature is sadly upset. 4
u. s. Marshal Boswell hopes for th'
early recapture Of Ward, as the pris
oner was virtually in his custody un
