No greater force for patriotic effort was found when we were drawn into the late conflict than the example and activity of our veterans of previous wars. Under the colors they loved, gathered the sol diers of the past, bringing quickly to their support the new army of the republic. Response in the southland by veterans who wore the gray in spired the youth with a zeal which aided greatly in the quick mobiliza- ton of our forces.
 The women of America, in emotion and constructive service, measured up during the war to every requirement and emergency exacted much of them Their initiative, their enthusi- asm and their sustained industry, which carried many of them into the heavy burdens of toll, form an undy- ing page in the annals of the time, while the touch of the mother heart in camp and hospital, gave sacred color to the tragic picture that feeble words should not even attempt to portray. They demonstrated not only willingness but capacity. They helped win the war, and they are entitled to voice in the readjustment now

It is the conception held by Lincoln and Roosevelt by Cleveland and Wilson, and all other presidents of the past to whom history has assigned a sig nificant place in the normal growth of our free institutions. It is the con ception of the presidency to which, in case Of success of the Democratic party in the. coming election, my own best effort shall be dedicated, with a solemn sense of responsibility to the Power above, to the people of the United States as a whole, and to the sacred oath of allegiance to the constitution and the laws. There is, and always will be, a useful place for parties in the conduct of free government; but any theory of a government by party" which must weaken this solemn sense of personal responsibility, or alter it's traditional direction and turn 1t toward party or faction, can only accenuate the possi- ble evils of party. and thwart it's

I am sincerely grateful to, the Democratic party for the opportunities of public service which it has brought to me in the past, and for the willingness which it has shown to extend those oppor- tunities to a still greater field; but am glad to say that it has always recognized that my official duties were to the people as a whole, and has in no case attempted to interfere, un- der pretext or party responsibility, with my right of personal judgment, under oath in the performance of those duties.
 There must be an awakened inter est in education. The assumption that things are all right is an error.

 Senator Harding's theory of the great office to which he aspires, put ting a thoroughly fair interpretation on his own words, is that the govern ment of this country, so far as it is embodied in the executive, should be what he is pleased to call govern ment by party as in contrast with the exercise by the president of his own best final jundgment under the responsibility assumed by his solemn oath of office, taking into considera- ton the views of others, of course, in arriving at that final judgment, but recognizing no group of any kind, not sworn, as he Is, to the faithful Derformance of the particular duties

the next generation to be remiss in this matter. Very satisfactory prog ress is being made in several states in the teaching of native born illit- crates. The moonlight school in Ken lucky has, in fact, become a historic institution. The practice has spread into other commonwealths, and bands of noble men and women are rem dering great service. There should be no encroachment by the federal gov ernment on local control. It is the healthfuI, reasonable individualism of American national life that has ena- bled the citizens of this republic to think for themselves, and besides, state and community initiative would be impaired by anything approach ing dependence. The central govern ment, however, can inventory the pos abilities of progressive education, and in helpful manner create an enlarged public interest in this subject
 There will be no attempt in this campaign to compete by dollars with our opposition.

IMPROPER FEEDING OF PIGS

iNFLUE..CE OF LOAD ON PULL
Harder to Haul Waron When Bulk of

Says Iowa College.

Tests recently conducted at Iowa
State college show that n wagon pulls
harder when the hulk Of the load Is
placed ove- the front wheels than
when II Is loaded over the re"r ones.
The actual difference In pounds of
pull amounts To nearly n hundred
pounds. so that the man who carried

self hut he causes more work To he
Gone by the team MS well.
One Of TIE reasons for this. say the
testers. is that the front wheels are
smaller and That they open up tracks
Tor the rear ones
Where trucks are used II Is Of an
advantage to load or the rear since II
aids In the traction and keeps the
wheels on the gr1und.
