Chas. For Vice.


Frankly as perhaps too usual we
had begun to think there was no fun
left in the world, as maybe we had in
timated somewhat furtively to you
discerning readers of this public Jour-
nal.
Well, We were wrong; there is fun
and. praise be, there may be more;
goodness knows we need it. But it is
not of the future that we would speak:
it is of the present, in confident real
ization that, so to remark, one illegally
captured Potomac bass is worth two
unshot quail in the bush.
Not because we wish to do so and not
because it appeals to US as seemly,
we laugh: we cannot help it. Kindly
give attention for one, moment and
think of John w. Davis agreeing to
bride William Jennings Bryan with a
silly nomination of Brother Chas. for
vice president. 1t must have been the
heat or the excitement-or with dark
suspicion, may we suggest. the DELHI
crate intention-of certain so-called
interests to make both the calling and
the defeat Of the ticket sure.
We neither know nor care. What
does fascinate us is that William Jen-
nings accepted the bride. Not that we
blame him for doing so. Not at all.
1t Is automatic that all men and few
women have their price. But William
Jennings! Tut, tut! It seems incred-
ible. And yet. Immediately following
the nomination of Mr.. Davis, Mr.
Bryan said to reporter for Mr.. Ogden
Reds excellent hyphenated paper:
"A colored preacher said to his
congregation: 'Breddern, we have
two courses openin' up before us:
one leading TO death and the other
to destruction. I think, breddern,
wen have to take to de woods.
The progressive Democrats of the
country are in that predicament
with Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Coolidge.
They will have to take to the
woods" ~
Then they nominated Brother Chas.
and William Jennings summoned the
Hearst reporters and, looking as SOL

It is quite a sight to an easterner
to ride along through the country
in the summer and see the broad
fields of corn on either side. indeed
you can. ride for miles and see lit
tie else except hogs. cattle and
horses of every description, for
Iowa is also among the foremost
states in the Union in the raising
of live stock. She eXcels all others
in the raising of hogs and horses.
1t is no uncommon sight to see a
farmer and his dog driving drove
of from so to 100 hogs to town to
be loaded on the trains for ship
ment: but the most amusing part
is to see the different shades: they
would almost make rainbow of
colors. There are pure white, all
black, black and white. black and
red, red, red and white. and brown.
think it would interest the chill
dren if they could see the ponies.
This is a regular pony state. There
are the Shetland Indian. Mexican
and other breeds. Poor indeed is
the child who hasn't at least one
pony. Many have several.
IoWa's horses are worth more
than the cotton crop of any state,
even Texas. She has exported more
horses for European wars than any
other state.
Iowa has several million head of
cattle including the largest herd or
white face cattle in the world. She
also has the prize winning sheep
herds of the world and her hens
produce more wealth each year
than all Colorados mines.
This state contains the second
largest goldfish farm in the world
and is also second largest honey
producing state in the Union, while
it's honey crop Is valued more than
that of any other state.
This, the Hawk Eye state. got it's
name from an Indian chief who was
born here.
The summers here are extremely
warm, one can hardly imagine the
like unless they have been here.
While living in Maine and in Wis
consin we thought we had what
was very hot days but we found
out what real heat was when we
struck Iowa. The thermometer goes
as high as 112 degrees in. the shade.
We, who are used to cooler climate
think that we can hardly live
through it. This summer has been
considerable cooler though. than the
past two summers for which we are
thankful.
l am expecting to soon be back
in the good old state Of Maine and
in the city of Augusta. as we are
planning to make the trip there in
our car next month.
With kindest regards to all. I am

Post, said:
ct shall support the ticket"
He would say no more. He actually
shut his mouth in emulation of the ira
ditional clam. He might "amplify"
later at the expense Of Mr.. Hearst and
the joy Of Mr.. Brisbane, but he wasn't
sure; he would have to think about IT.
Now, there is nothing particularly
amusing about that. 1t is simply
characteristic of a thrifty citizen
who made his money in Main street In
stead of Wall street.
Our jollity springs from accurate
"reminiscences. Twenty years ago one
Alton B. Parker was suggested as a
possible candidate for President and
William Jennings rose up on his hind
legs and brayed precisely the same
things about him that last week he
was believing about Mr.. Davis. But
then, as now, after Judge Parker was
nominated for the same fate that is
likely to overtake Counselor Davis.
the peerless misleader announced that
he was regular" and would support
the ticket"
He did, too. That is to say, he went
forth making rather queer speeches
and he came to village in Nebraska
and ,on his way to the town hall, saw
an old friend sitting on his piazza
chewing gum or something land he
stopped neighborly and remarked:
Hello. Jim! Amt you coming down
to hear me speak for Parker"
And Jim replied mo, Bill, amt;
you see, 1 believed what you said be-
fore about Parker"
We know this is true story because
our former Brother William Jennings.
now retired in affluence, told it to us
with great glee many years ago. And
If Attorney Davis gets any support"
from William Jennings different from
that which Judge Parker received, we
shall miss our guess.
We used to know Brother Chas. No
body ever accused him of knowing
much, but he isn't bad chap. His
wearing of skull cap ought not to
count against him. 1t not only safe
guards his brain but ,as William Jen-
nings himself once remarked while
scratching tufts around his ears, it
"keeps them from going up into the
clearing"
We wonder if John w. Davis fully
realized what he was doing when he
accepted Chas. as his running mate"
and far more likely than himself, by
grace of Mr.. La Toilette, to occupy the
White House for the next four years.
We not merely wonder. We cannot
understand.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD

We have in this country all the
tribes Of men from which to draw our
athletes. We permit them to start
young in our public schools. We at
ford them every facility for practice.
The will to win is in the atmosphere.
Skilled trainers are employed at
great expense to cultivate the will
and the skill to go with it. There are
around hundred and twelve million
people from among whom selections
may be made. Is it surprising that
our successes In the Olympic Games
have been many; that from the first
we have dominated them, in 1906,
1908, 1912, when we gained more
points in field and track than the
three nearest competitors, altogeth-
err? Then after the war in 1920 at
Antwerp the performance was re-
peated. But we have met doughty
competitors. They are learning from
our methods. The records indicate
grim determination on their part. The
laurels we have won best not be
lightly held.
