LEAGUE NOT ONEY ISSUE.

1t was announced at the opening OF
he political campaign that the league
# nations was to be the chief issue and
again a few weeks ago Democratic lead
rs in Washington decided to turn the
whole force of Democratic Oratory to
ward the league. Evidence that the poll
,icians cannot fix the issues for the pub
ic however, is given in the replies to
mestionaires sent out to men of affairs
I'll over the United States by Harris,
Winthrop & Co., bankers of New York.
Out of 3.G73 men questioned more than
2.G4O have replied that the question Of
.educed taxation at home is more impor-
ant than the league of nations and
about the same proportion report that
majority of the people, wage earners in
,luded favor the abolition of the ex-
.ess profits tax and a reduction of the
income tax When it is remembered
hat the excess profits tax and the in
ONE tax furnish about three-fourths Of
al the revenue Of the government, the
Importance of public sentiment on these
Iuestions is evident.
Recently several influential Republi-
ans announced their desertion of the
Republican candidate for the presidency
N account of his stand against the
eague of nations. That there is another
side to the issue is indicated by the con-
ribution of a subscription of $500 to the
Republican fund by A. Hennen Morris
If Westchester n. Y, who in match
ng the President with a contribution
the opposite party says:
Il have been, as you know a lifelong
Democrat, and still feel myself a member
# the trlp Democratic party as created
)y its founders and true leaders. But
| am opposed to Wisconsin, which is no
0nger Democracy but one-man power in
Is most dangerous form. The league of
lations, AZ proposed by Wilson, is a pure
lelusion, whilst his dallying with the
Socialists. Communists and extreme theO-
lists is threat to our institutions and
IN invitation to class government"
Confident that the league Of nations
question will be safely decided by a Re
publican administration and that repre-
sentative government, reduction of gov
'rnment expenses to a peace basis and a
business administration are the import
mt considerations of the next four years,
voters in general are refusing to be
fooled by the efforts of the Democratic
eaders cover the real issues with a
Green of Wilsonian oratory.

A Vermont Sheriff.

My boyhood saw no heater rig
Than Sheriff Amsden's booted gig;
The narrow dasher, one-man seat.
And whip and socket, say; twas neat;
The great high wheels went round s.
fast
Their shadders SHE'D at being cast;
You couldn't see what kind, By Cad!
Of check or overdraw he had,
And all us boys was plumb confused
About what martingill he used.
He drove a bright-eyed Morgan nag
No other horse in town could tag;
Jest hand him out a writ and John,
His man, would slap the harness on,
Then up he'd climb and off he'd 90
And get a mile, the first you'd know;
He never asked what kind of writ
1t was, BY Gum, or who it hit;
Replevin, trespass, trover, case,
And debt, he served with even grace.
1t made no difference to him,
Who twas he 'tached, jerome or Jim
He didn't care a broken reed
Who twas he sued, or who trusted;
He left no papers ON the place;
But run his process up your face;
He'd sell you out with equal zest,
From grandpa's cloo4 to grandma
chest;
You couldn't make him hem or haw,
And all he'd say was, Law is law
The constables in every town
Looked up to him instead of down;
There wasn't one as tall as he,
Nor one as stiff as he could be;
His word was stronger than a fort
And went an awful ways in court
The lawyer that was smart, was loath
To ever let him take the oath,
He'd simply say. f'You're Sheriff. Sir,
And served this writ ON Wilder
Burr"
When round his bailiwick he flew,
Some showed their heads and some
withdrew:
One scout, with wool around his chops,
Alleged it for the mountain tops;
One duck he 'tached was so hestirred
He sold his pig and paid a third;
A chap that worked at A. o. Hoods
Lit out for Sydney Weston's woods;
He seldom fooled funked or failed,
And jays with jags was promptly
jailed.
But what I meant to talk about,
Quite mainly, when started ont,
Was not so much the Sheriff's art
As his official horse and cart;
The fills and ex both took your eye,
The boot was shiny, steen and dry;
Beneath its box he kept the writs
That give the county catnin fits:
The whirlwind wheels and one man
seat.
A-zipping past you. saw twas neat
