FORGETTING THE PoPPIEs
ON FLANDERS FIELD

1t is strange how blood that ran a
deep-dyed red during thosel strenuous
years of war, has taken on pale pink
now that the stfife is over and politics
have supplanted it in public interest.
If it were not so the soldier candidates
for state office would not have gone
down to defeat, rejecting the truth of
the old, old adage that the republics
are ungratefuL However there is still
an opportunity for voters of this state
to do political honor to man who was
CONSPICUOUS in the making of Wiscon
sins remarkable war racord his name
is Robert b. Mccoy He is the demo-
cratic party's candidate for governor
and thousands of republicans whose
blood is still red and whose memories
are keen have pledged him theirl sup
port. The soldier boys who loved and
admired him as Colonel of the 32d. are
behind him to a man.
In view of the splendid character,
the liawless record and unquestioned
ability of their candidate there is
reason enough why we, for whom they
fought, should lend our vote in the
effort to elect Col Robert Mccoy Of
Sparta, governor of Wisconsin. - W hite-

MANY LEGENDS OF THE HAW
Scarlet Berry Regarded in Some Parts
of the World az the Emblem
Of Hope.

Around Little Rock the haw is seen
in the full glory Of its fruitage. In
woods that are duh and brown its myr-
lad berries greet the eye with a warm
red of glowing Goals. Here is single
tree, It's spreading branches studded
all over with scarlet fruit. 1t makes
a picture that seems to be waiting to
be transferred 10 canvas. Further on
are five or six trees standing together
their mass showing n wealth of color
that landscape artist might re-
jolce to reproduce with his art. Any
one Of scores Of groups of these tree
would, IN a public park or large pri-
vate grounds, be a neyer-ending OBJ
ject Of admiration.
He who has not read Of hawthorn
hedges has not read the literature Of
England. remarks a writer In the Lit
tie Rock Gazette. In that country Of
beautiful landscapes the haw blooms
In many spots that have been beauti-
fed by long years of care. And it has
fits legends both pagan and Christian.
II has been regarded as the emblem Of
hope and its branches are said 10

Greeks In wedding professions and TO
hay, been used to deck the altar If

| British Isles accounts it unlucky to
upr0ut q haw. There has been for cen

source of Christ's crown Of thorns,

cratic control in congress. Going no
further back than the present admins
tration, we have the fact that while
withheld millions of dollars
from northern farmers by.limiting the
price of wheat as a war. measure, II
gave millions TO the cotton planters by
refusing to put an equally proper limit
upon cotton prices.
Under the same southern Democratic
control S490, 900. 900 was spent for
training camps and war plants in sixteen
southern states while $500, 600. 900 was
being spent for similar purposes in
northern states. The same control has
reduced the postoffice service to state
of Reorganization unknown since the
establishment of the civil service. The
same control, with the pork barrel as
its chief objective, opposed every effort
to get up a businesslike method for
eliminating waste and extravaganza
during the war.
The same control imperiled the very
life of the nation at beginning of the
war, when Congressman Dent, as chair
man Of the house military committee,
and ali but four of his Democratic
associates fought the selective draft
law with all their strength,
The same southern Democratic con
troll, representing about 30 per cent OF
the population of the United States,
about 20 per cent Of the wealth, anc
paying about 10 per cent of the income
tax, has ruled 10 per cent Of the pop
ulation and directed expenditure Of al

in its record. Does this country want
that control continued after such indi
cations of it's results as the last few
years have afforded ? We believe not

"0hio is not the only state where

HARDING TO THE FARMERS.

Senator Harding's speech to the
farmers OF the country, delivered at
the Minnesota State Fair, is commend
able not only for the subject matter
and the constructive craftsmanship
which Il contains, but for the calm and
dlgnlhed tone which prevails through
out the entire address, Nothing could
more thoroughly impress intelligent
people with the difference in the sena-
tor and his opponent and their quslifi-
cations for the presidency than Senator
Harding's comprehensive discussion Of
the agricultural problems OF the ma
ton and the solution which must be
applied TO them and the Political hs-

would have to hire somebody like Newt
