OLD SOLDIERS DAY.
Reprinted by Request

(Repr1nted by RcqueSt.)
Yes, the thin blue line OF heroes
becomes thinner each year and ct no
time is this brought more forcibly
to our attention than upon Decoca-
ton Day. Those men once so brave
and vigorous are now almost without
exception feble of body altho their
hearts are as warm and true as upon
those days fifty-odd years ago when
they went forth to battle.
We we'll remember the Decoration
Days of our youth. Then men in their
prime marched miles to cemeteries to
pay the tribute of respect to the SOL
der dead. Little boys walked with
their fathers in the line of march
proud to be the sons of veterans. We
remember we'll two little boys who
marched and how their father rug
ged CHEEKY man, gave them each a
finger to hold as they trudged along.
Above the fireplace of those boys
home was a flag and below the flag
were pictures of Lincoln and Grant.
Below that were saber and a cav
airy carbine. 1t threw big ball too!
lin it's time.
These boys used to hear lots of war
stories-tales of battles, adventure
and thrilling escapes from prison or
death. Then they heard sad stories
also-the story of one uncle who was
killed at Shiloh-a mere boy too.
Their mother used to cry over this
as she told the story She never for
got the lad. And another uncle was
blinded and another wounded so that
he limped to his grave. There were
six who enlisted and one who didn't.
His name was hardly ever mentioned.
So we often think of the great
army of fifty-odd years ago. How they
marched forth to battle and how they
suffered and how they died. We
think of those boys who might have
peopled the Great West had they lived
we think how grateful those who
came to take their heritage should
be.
We see them marching down
through the years their ranks being
silently depleted until they are al
most gone. We see them marching,
marching, with that old flag always
held so high and fluttering so brave
ly. 1t seems to us that our flag car
ries a wonderful symbolism with it.
So sanctified with heroes blood as it
is.
They are marching, marching to
join their brothers on the other shore,
OF that great host but few are left
with us Soon, too soon, they also
will be gone.
Let us reverently doff our hats as
these, our old soldiers, The Grand
Army of the Republic, pass by!

and unless this is done a wrathful
public is going to ask the reason why.
But there are other laws, already en-
acted, that might be used to handle
the situation, and many will wonder
why the attorney general does not do
so, instead of asking for additional
legislation. The trouble with Mr..
Palmer. seems to be that he is "long''
on talk and short" on actual per-
Torrance. He is good "promiser"
but fails to deliver the goods.

OUR SAGACIOUS HENRY.

Every once in a while we come
across an ad. in the papers that the
party who took a certain article is
known and to avoid prosecution to
return it at once. Pretty good bluff,
if it can be made to work. But if the
party is known, why not go right to
him and get your property?-Fenni-

The closing hours of the League of
Nations council at Rome proved dis
appointment so far as important work
was concerned. The budget and dis
armament problems were skinned
over and no reference made to revis-
ing the league charter to make it ac-
ceptable to America. The Italian del
egates proposing reduction of high
salaries were frowned upon. Day by
day the futility of the league idea
becomes more apparent Under prop
er circumstances it might become a
beautiful hope for humanity to work
forward to. AS it stands it might be
better called an alliance of the west
ern powers excluding Germany be-
cause of her position in the late war
and Russia because she has gone Boil
shevist Just how it will hold up in
face of the desire of Poland and the
Ukraine for national unity, Roumania
and Italy for more territory which
they feel is justly theirs and other
countries that face slow but certain
starvation. is a matter OF question An
alliance to hold the old central en-
pires in their place would have been
welcomed by the Americans. But a
SNUG scheme that involved the same
things under high sounding names
has wearied us.

The Wisconsin political siuation is
as usual interesting with the various
factions quietly marshaling their
forces for another battle in Septem-
Der. Philip, is is said, will come out
again and this time on slightly
wet" platform. This would prove
a powerful drawing card in a state
that is admittedly wet" but just how
anyone can bring about comparative
thirst-quenching in face of the prohi-
bition amendment is little dark. La
Toilette who was so successful this
spring when his ticket drew the big
Socialist vote and carried the state,
may find himself lacking in the fall
when the Socialist plan to put tick
ct of their own in the field. The loss
will be felt keenly by the La Toilette
faction. Another group is lining up
behind Roy p Wilcox of Eau Claire,
a fluent and brainy senator who was
right" on war matters. Wilcox
plans to eliminate the factions and
run as an olive branch candidate thus
uniting Wisconsin Republicanism.
Merlin Hull, present secretary of
state, and a good fellow, is also a can
didate upon a platform of mo barrel
and 1.-The peoples" interest. Mr.. Hull
is vehement against 1.-THE interests
and machine politics but rather vague
in his attacks. A four-way race and
a fair field is in sight with a good
prospect for choice for the independ-
ent voter.

Not long ago the Herald spoke of
the problem of curbing speculation
and profteering confronting the world
and demanding solution from condi-
tions that grow increasingly worse
1t is becoming a truism that no man
can attain wealth or even a compe
tence by honest labor. He must, per-
force, use craft in place of effort to
gain his ends. Humanity is under in
dictment when we cry at greed.
Those who are not prof1teering and
specializing would probably do so with
the chance. The thing for democra-
cies to do is to protect themselves
from themselves! This seeming par
adox must be attained before econ
omic freedom can exist Then the
thought comes that "he who does not
work shall not eat" and the man who
does not actually contribute some
thing Worthwhile to society should
not share in the fruits of social effort.
If this be Socialism or Bolshevism
make the most of it.

Your Liberty bonds worth consider
ably under par on the market will be
redeemed in full by Uncle Sam at
maturity. Uncle Sam agreed to pay
in full at maturity with interest per
annum and he will live up to his obli-
cation. He did not agree to buy up
bonds as fast as they were thrown on
the market Therefore keep your
bonds instead of selling and if you
can spare it buy more-they are a
tine investment.

DOB
General Wood leads in the Literary
Digest poll but it is safe bet that
he will not be the candidate nominal
ed in Chicago. Johnson has found
good deal of favor in the west but he
is so radical that the Old Guard will
probably bring about his defeat. Then
Johnson is strongly anti-league and
the bulk of the party favors the league
with the Lodge reservations to safe
guard American integrity. In the
! background looms Hoover a dark
horse candidate, and Lowden who
hasn't many votes but is popular with
the politicians. In the event of
deadlock it is considered probable
that Johnson and Wood will throw
their votes to Lowden in preference
to each other or Hoover McAdoo
seems to be the best bet in the Demo
cratic camp and he is brilliant and
capable man altho his relationship to
Wilson will not help him any. Rob-
ert Lansing, unspoken of, would prob
ably be the strongest man the demo-
Gratis could put up. Lansing is a
scholarly and steadfast man who
ELECTED considerable sympathy through
the shabby treatment accorded him.

Over at Richland Center the time
honored opera, III. NJ S. Pinafore,"
appears at the auditorium under To-
cal talent auspices this week This, it
seems to us, is proper use for mu-
nicipal building. 1t affords a chance
for local talent to express itself and
grow better. Imagine in our own
place V. L. S. as Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph
Porter, K. c. B. First Lord of the
Admiralty. Picture E. L. M. as Dick
Deadeye. Able Seaman, and A. G. K.
as Ralph RackstraW another A. S.
G. M. would make an excellent Bob
Beckett while what vision of pulchri-
tude and honeyed voice would appear
so pleasing as 0. w. as Captain Cor
coran, commanding H. M. S. Pinafore?
| Josephine, Hebe and Little Buttercup
would find ready response from
feminine talent in this community.
The Herald will guarantee full house
and enthusiastic audience for the

The Platteville News is amazed at
the dearth of candidates for county
office there being but two in the field,
Holmes and Johns of Platteville, both
for sheriff. The probable reason is
that county officers salaries do not
attract unless the candidate has 9TH
er sources of income. Years ago the
average of 500 monthly proved fas-
cinating to many. Today the average
of $3.50 is no bait as most men can
earn considerably more in other lines.

cision and consume an undue amount
of time over things that you used to do
quickly2 Are you prematurely old?
Don't let the arteries in your brain
get hard. Don't let thin blood starve
your nervous system. Proper diet for
the first and a good tonic, DR.. Will

Soon a Lost Art

Among the lost arts Of the world, 1t
is to be feared that Indian basket max
ing must soon be included. And 1t Is
very great pity, too. 1t Is a wonder
full art, and one that has been created
at vast pains and sacrifices.
The younger generation Of Califor-
MIA and desert Indians are not learn
ing to make baskets. Like the young
err generation of the white vace. they
are not fond of hard work. And who
ever buys an Indian basket for few
dollars has seldom a realization Of the
work and the patience that has been
expended upon it.

LEARNED LESSON OF THRIFT
Boys and Girls Of New Jersey Town
Have Made Record Of Which
They Are Proud.

If there has been less talk of the
servant problem in Bridgeton, New
Jersey, than elsewhere, it is quite ex-
plainable. Not to be Outdone by their
European sisters and brothers tn mat<
ters of thrift and industry, 25 young
sters in that town have invested 81 900
In United States thrift stamps this
year, thanks to their own hard work.
Boys and girls alike have welcomed
opportunities of doing remunerative
dishwashing, sweeping, busting, store
clerking, baby-minding, errand-run-
ming, ETC., with the goal of economy
symbOlized by government stamps
ahead of them. The more ambitious
have undertaken cutting weeds. carry
ing coal, sitting ashes. selling papers,
raising chickens, cleaning pavements.
and some have even won prizes to add
to their savings. Having found that
time can be converted into money it Is
doubtful whether these boy will again
find the street corner a worthwhile
place for spending idle hours, or the
girls be content to waste periods in
porch chatter.
