HONOR THE C0LoRs

With the announcement that large
bodies Of troops win soon be passing
through the county II behooves Har-
ford citizens to give n passing thought
towards rendering proper honor TO the
Gag. Il win be recalled with chagrin
that commanding colonel whs led his
regiment through the community caus-
tically remarked on the lack Of respect
shown the colors. While we are sure
this was due purely to thoughtlessnsss.
on the part Of our citizens II was none
the less censurable.
Prior 10 the World War q general
ignorance Of military etiqaette and
ceremonies existed. Since then the nv.
erage citizen has had o far clearer idea
Of the respect due the flag.
For the soldier who Is confronted by
passing colors or standards II Is sec-
and nature to snap 10 attention and sa-
lutte. 1t should be equally as vital to
o civilian to stand at attention, uncover
and hold the hat over his left breast.
In any case the least any red-blooded
<itixsn Of the United States can do is
ssneovsr wAen the stars and Stripes
pass.

Of the seed bed. Science has proven

not only greatly lessons the labor Of
cnltlvating crop later but has a dis
tinet effect upon the yield, by the crop

The whole process d intensely inter-

SENATOR FRANCE IN THE
RUNNING

No surprise was caused by the an
nouncement of Senator France few
days ago that he Is candidate for re-
election, but his supplementary state
1nent that his record will be his plat
form created quite little amusement.
Just how Senator who has put his
chief interest IN promoting the cause
OF revolution ridden Russia can come
before his constituents and AJAX for
their votes on that basis Is too hard a
question for the average citizen to
solve.
Maryland voters admire nerve and
self assertiveness but they do not fan
cy II carried to the extreme. For in
stance even the Senator's opponents
must admire his spunk In coming out
hat-footed against the bonus when
practically every other candidate Is
straddling. No matter what our per-
sonal views are on this subject we must
admit Mr.. France has the courage Of
his convictions on the bonus. There Is
nothing to admire, however, in the sort
OF cbstinancy which makes our Senator
consistently take his stand with the
very small majority. Maryland has
been Inundated more than once by
finding one Of her senatorial votes list
cd with . small group of four or Ave
when vital questions arise.
30 radical hiss Senator Frances pub
lie career been at times even members
OF his own party are stoutly declaring
they will not let him get the nomina-
tion by default. We do not know
whether this Is merely Q bid for pa
tronage. but we do know such divi-
sion In the party ranks will serve o
good purpose In disillusioniRg many
foolish voters who helped send MIR.
France to Washington with little
thought Of the consequences.
A seat In the United States Senate Is
one Of the very highest honors which
can be conferred upon any citizen.
Maryland has innumerable broad
gauge men who are well equipped to
uphold her standards in this august
body, and too much thought cannot be
given to selecting the proper person.
From present indications q wealth Of
Democratic material win be In the
field. According to ell reports party
lines are daily becoming fainter and
