Speaking of these bifurcated gar

BACK TO "OLD HOME TOWN"
To the Returning Man of Affairs, How
Many Tender Memories Cluster

For a number of years fall home
cOmings have been popular in many
counties and smaller cities over the
country. They are for the most part
family reunions, given wider inter-

and towns. to meet, let us hope. a
larger and more enduring success
abroad than they could have done at
the old home.
The old town looks small, no doubt,
to those who went to the city for their
life work; the old farm cramped, 10
those who now inhabit the wide
reaches of the West. But to all the
home-comer there are dear places,
halIOwed by tender memories, to Visit
the brook, the ancient sycamore, the
beloved hills In the country places;
and in the small towns the old home
with its multitude Of "reminiscences.
Homes pass away-intO other hands.
There Is no continuance on eartn.
Change never ceases its work. Trees
die, familiar prospects are marred.
Only the skies are Interchangeable. So
there Is a touch Of melancholy for all
| home-comers except the young, be-
cause of the ravages of death among
| relatives and friends. Yet where the
old homes are peopled by strangers
and their contents distributed among
| the children. there Is one great con-
! ISOLATION. It IS not the place or the
house that is sacred. That is the mere
shell set up to protect the family from
the weather. The things that were IN

that gave comfort to mother; the desk
that was fathers, the books the gentle
and lost sister loved; the intimate

these things touched by vanished
/ hands are the true treasures OF the
old home, not the building which
sheltered them.
Altogether it is well to get back to
the old home town or the old home

DOES not fade. 1t stirs something
1 In our souls that too seldom finds ex-

tiyities which contribute to common

tivities which contribute to common
welfare"
Within three days after writing that
argument against the soldier bill,
President Harding announced his in
tention of calling Congress back into
special session on Nov. 15 to pass the
ship bonus bill. In pressing for the
passage of this measure, which con-
templates appropriations of $4,000,
600 year for ten years, the lending
of $125, ,0OO, 900 to private interests at
2 per cent year. and the exemption
of taxes on the ships bought by the
shipowners from the Government at
ten per cent of their cost to the peo-
pie, President Harding appears not at
all conscious that he would thereby
commit "a governmental folly." or
that he would be adding "to our
pledges to pay, except as necessity
compels."
Control of the House of Representa-
tives in the next Congress would
mean the death of President Harding's
ship bonus, and he is therefore eager
to hurry it into law before the pres
ent Republican Congress loses its grip
on legislation.

In Behalf Of Representative Black.
EM1NENcE, Mo, Sept. p, 1922

EMINENCE, MO-, sept. zz, iszz.
Editor Register notice that the
Democracy of Iron county has nomi-
mated as its candidate for member OF
the Missouri House of Representatives,
Hon. Redmond Black, with whom l
had the pleasure of serving as mem
ber of the 5lst General Assembly,
and, since the office of Representa-
tive is in reality a state wide office,
and Iron County's Representative
has as much to do with the passage OF
laws that affect the other counties as
the Representatives of those other
counties have, l feel constrained to
urge the voters of your county to
again elect Mr.. Black to this very i'm
portant office. AS a member of the
51st Assembly he was found on the
right side of every question, especial
ly those acts which affected the farm
ers' interests He seldom, if ever,
missed roll-call, and attended the
meetings of all committees of which
he was a member. In the commits
tees OF a legislative body is where the
real work is done, and / believe that
Mr.. Blacks experience will be OF
great benefit not only to his consti-
tuents locally but to the state at large.
He was one of the five Democratic
members of the House committee on
Roads and Highways, and with untir-
ing energy helped push the House bill
for the distribution of the 100000, 900
road money to a successful termina-
tion, thus frustrating the efforts of
those special interests which desired
and fought vigorously to have that
immense fund expended on a few
roads between the large cities of the
state. fear that amendments detri-
mental to the interests of the rural
sections of the state will be offered to
that law at the next session of the
Legislature, and sincerely hope that
men like Mr.. Black, who did so much
in that fight for equals and exact justice
to all sections of the state, will be re-
turned to the coming session. Mr.
Black is a consistent Democrat, but
the interest of the State, and not par
4 ty expediency, was the first consid-
erationwith him in all matters thai
came before that body.

Reeds Respect for the Truth.

tFrom the New York World (Dem.l
The other day Senator Reed told an
audience in Missouri that if the Unit
ed States had "entered Into an alliance
such as the league we would now be
preparing to send our boys across the
ocean to fight alongside Greeks and
British against the Turks"
This will be news to the Greeks.
They will be surprised to learn that
being member of the league means
rushing troops to Asia Minor to help
them against the Turks. And when
they notice that no member of the
league has sent soldier to help them
they will wonder why the United
States, if a member of the league,
would behave so differently. For
Argentina is a member, but not an
Argentinan soldier is on his way to
help them. Sweden is member, but
not Swedish soldier is being sent to
Asia Minor. Great Britain is a mem
ber of the league, but all the British
troops in Asia Minor are there not to
help the Greeks but to protect British
interests.
And finally the United States is not
member of the league, but twenty
American destroyers have been sent
to Turkish waters. We have more
military forces at this moment on the
way to the seat of trouble than any
member of the league except Great
Britain and France. We are the only
important nation in the Western
Hemisphere that is not in the league
and we are also the only nation in the
Western Hemisphere that has sent
armed forces to Turkey.
II Senator Reed had any interest in
the truth he would have noted these
facts.

Killing of Soldiers Bonus Aids Ship
Bonus, G. O. P. Believes.

With the defeat of the soldiers adj
justed compensation bill, advocates Of
the ship bonus, including President
Harding and Chairman Lasker of the
United States Shipping Board, believe
that this scheme to sell SO 3,000, 900, 900
worth of vessels for 100000, ,00c and
pay the purchasers $75, 100000 year
to operate them, has better prospect
of passage in the present Republican
Congress.
Provision for the payment OF the
soldiers adjusted compensation would
have required total of $3,000,000 900
in the next thirty years and an i'm
mediate appropriation of about $75,-
900, 900 to establish the necessary ad-
ministrative organization. This COM
mitment in favor of the former SOL
diers of the World War would have
made it difficult If not practically inn
possible for the Harding administra-
tion to get Congressional authorize
tion for the vast sums which it is pro-
posed to vote for bonus to the ship
owners who buy the peoples mer-
chant marine for less than tenth of
it's original cost.
The lobby that has been active in
behalf of the ship bonus bill for the
last eighteen months is understood to
have foreseen the trouble it would
experience If the soldiers compensa-
ton was granted. AS result, the in
fluence Of this lobby was added to
that of all the other interests which
were fighting the soldiers bill.
President Harding's arguments
against the soldiers bonus are equally
valid against the subsidy to shipown-
ers, but they will not be urged by him
| in respect to Chairman Lasker's plan
| to sell the peoples fleet and In addi-
tion pay $4,000, 900 to the purchasers
to operate it at profit to themselves,
free from taxation.
In the message accompanying his
veto of the soldiers bill President
Harding pointed out that there would
be a Treasury deficit of $3.50, 0,000, 900 in
4 1923 and further deficit for the year
succeeding, even after counting upon
all interest collections on foreign in
debtedness which the Government Ii
lik ely to receive" Then came this
striking utterance:
ITO add to our pledges to pay, ex'
/ cept as necessity compels, must seem
no less than government folly. In
evitably it means increased taxation

Blanket Ballot To Be Used in November

Attention of the voters this year is
called to the new ballot to be voted at
the coming general election in Novem-
Der, which is entirely different from
that heretofore voted in this state. In
place of the strip ballots containing
only the names of one party on each
strip heretofore used in this state, the
last legislature provided for the use
of the Australian blanket ballot, which
contains the names of all the candi-
dates on all the tickets on one blanket
ballot.
All the Democratic caedidates will
be listed in one column under the
heading described as the Democratic
ticket. Immediately under the word
Democratic" will appear circle.
All persons desiring to vote the
straight Democratic ticket on the
blanket ballot should place a cross
.(X) mark in the circle. 1t is essential
that this cross mark be placed within
the circle, or the vote will not be
counted for Democratic candidates.
Should voter not care to vote the
straight ticket, he or she may ''split'
in this manner: No crossing out
names will be done, but to the left OF
each candidates name will appear a
square and in this square the voter
must place a cross mark (X) which
designates the candidate for whom
the voter is casting his ballot.
The device for the Democratic party
is the Statue of Liberty, and that Of
the Republican party is the time
honored Elephant.
