it must be a dull soul that, in look
ing today on the thinning ranks Of
the Grand Army Of the Republic with
eyes that but six or seven years since
beheld the gathering of the youth of
the country to defend the Nations
rights and maintain the liberties Of
the world-with eyes, too, that see
n new generation of boys taking the
training that will At them to answer
a call similar to that which resound-

with the thought that the succession
that we have won our freedom in this
country. Beyond n doubt we have.
though We may not have Won all Of
1t. But IL the battle to win it has
been fought. the battle to save 1t
still goes on. and must be ever won.'
The veterans of the Grand Army who
marched by us today are In their
hearts the same youths who mus
tered in a cleaning row" those three
score years ago. In service and in
inspiration they are the own brothers
of the younger veterans of the World
War. AS the Grand Army men took
the swords and muskets from the
hands of the fading veterans of the
older wars, so our Legionnaires
buckled on the weapons that the
Boys in Blue, or it may be the Boys
in Gray. passed on to them. The
day will come when these, too, will
be too weak and too old to bear the
heat and burden of the day; but
others will be there to bear them as
worthily and as nobly as they did.

During this long speech. the Ice
Kings breath made the palace so cold
that it was necessary to put on
twenty more pounds If steam In the
boiler and the engineer threatened to
leave If it happened again, so you
see, there are labor troubles even up
in the Snowflake Country.
Well, after that, Little Jack Rabbit
said he must be going, so the Ice
King called for snow white Alba
tross to carry him back to the South
where the roses were in bloom.
DO you know how to ride a feath-
cred steed?" asked his Icicle High
ness kindly.
II have ridden with Mother Goose
upon her wonderful Gander and on a
Circus Horse" replied Little Jack
Rabbit. Have no fear for my safety.
I am as much at home upon a feath-
er saddle as a leather one" and.
jumping nimbly on the back of the
Albatross. away he went.
I'VE will take short cut" said the
Big White Bird, flying toward the
sea.
Pretty soon they passed a high
masted ship, and all the sailors waved
their caps, but the Albatross never
stopped but few on and on. After a
while they saw Neptune in his water
car drawn by the Great Sea Horses
with their foaming tails Although
Neptune blew his horn three times,
the Albatross never stopped.
By and by a great storm came up
and the sea grew mountains high, so
the Albatross was forced to fly above
the clouds where it was still and
quiet. And after a while, Little Jack
Rabbit fell asleep and when he
woke, he found himself at the foot
of tall green tree, with big white
feather in his paw. But the Alba
tross had flown to the Ice Kings
Palace.

SHOULDN'T TAKE IT TOO SER.
IOUSLY

The pathos underlying these words
of would-be Senator Redman, adj
dressed to Republicans though
spoken to Democrats at Yarmouth:
The election Of William r. Pattan-
gall will save your party and help
the State of Maine. You need not
vote for me, I have no expectation
of being elected and never had" is
noticeable. 1t bespeaks home-sick-
ness for scenes of New York.
We trust Mr.. Redman is not per-
hitting the situation to prey on his
nerves and spoil his vacation in
Maine. On the other hand we hope
he will not feel chagrined If Re-
publicans do not take enthusiastically
to advice from minds chiefly en-
crossed in the affairs of another
State. OF course, either as a sum-
mer resident Of Maine or as IAN in
habitant of New York he can claim
the privilege of telling us that the
Khan is about to ruin Maine. On
the other hand the voters down this
way are we'll within their rights if
they do not get excited over his
tales. Moreover they can find plenty
of reason why they should prefer
Senator Fernald to Senator Redman.

DAVIS AND THE TARIFF

T charge the Republican party
with this corruption in ONCE.
charge it also with favoritism In
legislation. I do more. l charge 1t
with that grossest form Of favorit-
ism which gives to him who hath
and takes away from him who hath
not.-Davis In Speech Of Acceptance.
SO spoke Mr.. Davis in his speech
OF acceptance. Assuming him to be
honest he would correct this, II
given the power. by destroying any
tariff which should be found to af-
ford protection to Americans, for to
continue such protection would. &C
cording to his expressed view. be the
grossest form of favoritism. He
would have no protection for those
by whose efforts the South under
protection has thrived in agri-
culture and in industry.
Only recently the Manufacturers
Record published many statements
by southern manufacturers, farmers
and bankers declaring in substance
that the prosperity OF that region
depends upon a protective tariff.
And yet the South goes right along
voting for candidates who tell the
world that a protective tariff Is the
grossest and most Ubiquitous form of
favoritism, a terrible handicap on
tho well-b being OF the country.
Can another like inconsistency be
gN axyt0 "a
perturbed by 1t, o no. He Is as con-
fident Of the vote Of the South as
though he had II in his pocket. 1t
Is fortunate for the country that
other parts Of 1t are not SO unwilling
to bear a share of the responsibility,
to support at the polls that which
It recognizes as worthy of support.
One 10 reminded Of Senator
Lodges words, spoken two years
ago. when he said: II have been
through eight tariff debates. The
importers and Democrats always
put up the same camouhaged at
tacks, but the country invariably
returns and supports Republican
protective tariff when a new
foundation is needed by the country
to rebuild an era of prosperity"
He might have added that after
the foundation had been probably
laid and prosperity began to be en-
joyed people have had a way OF
thinking they were not prosperous
enough, Democrats seeking office
have ever been ready to tell them
that free trade would give them the
prosperity they sought. SO that &C.
casionally they have been fooled.
only to repent after experiencing
the effects OF Democratic tariff
tinkering.

coNSTRUcTIoNISTS TAKE A
HAND

Niles, Ohio, Khan and Ants Bury
Hatchet-Headline- story that
goes with this tells how after much
fuss and fury, after a series of dis
orders which were proving a
serious injury to the community the
Khan and the Ants met in agree
ment, included in which is decision
to burn no more crosses and indulge
in no more street fights and to drop
charges each were making against
the other.
Here, probably. we find result of
the pressure brought to bear by the
level-headed, day-in and week out
inhabitants of Niles. Extremists are
those who make much Of the trouble
in the world, extremists in selfish
ness, extremists in ardor. The ex-
tremists in unselfshness may be
excepted from this charge. when
found. Ideals are essential as
leaven. but only when they meet the
approval of those who construct and
maintain do they accomplish.
Extremists bring on our wars;
constructionists fight them, pay the
bills and repair the damage. and if
there be any resulting good 1t is be-
cause they do this well. Extremists
never tolerate the right to an opinion
differing from theirs, never weigh
the advantages to be had from per-
hitting these opinions to work out
peacefully the proof of their appeal;
never stop to think there will be no
occasion to bury Ratchet which
hasn't been put into use. Construc-
tionists are often too busy to de-
vote the time they should to con-
sideration of ideals. but whenever
1t becomes necessary to get down to
working basis they are the ones
who know how and have capacity
for adjusting the working basis,
without which no one can progress.
It is gratifying that they have af-
fairs at Niles we'll in hand.

Oyster Bay. N. Y, Aug. 10 CA. P.
by MaiD-The service flag which
hung from Sycamore Hill. home of
the late Theodore Roosevelt, during
the World War has been presented to
the Memorial Museum at Roosevelt
House, New York City
The flag, measuring three by four
feet, and of the familiar red and
white design, has four blue stars
worked in the center. 1t f1uttered
from an upper window of the Col
cners Oyster Bay home. 1t was
placed there the day of enlistment of
the first member of the family and

Ward Four Conspiracy"
(praso Horo1dN

Once Governor Baxter set out to
have a special deputy attorney gen.
eral named to assume the prosecu
ton of the fraudulent voting in Ward
Four. That showed that the Cover
nor believed such a man should be
employed in order to relieve County
Attorney ingalls, of embarrassment.
The Governors selection for this
work was an excellent one but. owing
to the fact that the man the Cover
nor picked out was a Federal official,
the plan of the Governor to have an
outside man press this case could
not be carried out.
This was very unfortunate but
there are other lawyers in this States
full of fight and possessed of ability
who can go after the Ward Four
conspirators and secure conviction of
some of them, and such man Gov
ernor Baxter is in duty bound to Sc
cure at once.
The people will not be satisfied
with what has been done. They will
not rest until they know that the
very last man who had anything to
do with this conspiracy to stuff the
Ward Four ballot box has been made
to face a jury. The thing that must
be impressed upon the mind of the
public in this case is that there is a
responsibility placed upon every can
didate for office to maintain the pur-
ity of elections. It will mean moth
ing to have a few election officials
placed upon trial if the men behind
them. who may have bribed them to
do this dirty work, are permitted to
escape.

NOT A "wEAsEL WORD" IN 1T

I have taken my oath to support
the Constitution. 1t Is the source
of your rights and my rights. 1
propose to regard 1t and administer
1t as the source Of the rights of all
the people. whatever their belief or
race. A coloredt man is precisely
as much entitled to submit his
candidacy In a party primary as
any other citizen. The decision
must be made by the constituents to
whom he offers himself and nobody
else.
1 cannot consent (said Theodore
Roosevelt) ITO take the position that
the door of hope-the door of oppor-
tunity-is to be shut upon any man,
no matter how worthy, purely upon
grounds of race or color.
President Coolidge here has said,
in response to a letter asking him
to interfere to prevent the election
Of a worthy colored man to Con-
gress, that which may not be mis-
understood. We believe the people
would expect him to make such a
reply to the amazingly impertinent
letter, IL he noticed 1t at all. It was
not worthy of an answer but the
times are such that an answer, and
just such an answer, is needed. 1t
was like Coolidge to make 1t, with
out weasel word" in 1t.

II there is n Khan issue, and so
far as we have been able to learn,
Mr.. Redman and Mr.. Pattangall are
the only persons to have discovered
that fact, theDemocratic candidate
for senator might spend his time

Mr.. Pattangall, into explaining the

urging with all the power of his
silver accents that it should be
printed in big letters in the National
Democratic platform.

gall, by inference at least, declared
that there was no such issue as Mr..

he got to New York, he discovered,
apparently that it was a paramount
issue. Was he right in March, or
was he right in July?

AT Sea
Across the unmeasured stretches of

The gray gulls whirl and dip:
The wild sea-horses toss their snow
white names;
Afar steams on a ship.
There is strange, vast dome of sky

A trackless waste below,
solemn, weird infinity of space
Through which the vessels go.
The world We knew has dtfted out of
sight;
The dear. familiar shore,
The towns. the fields, the mountains,
all and all
Seem gone forevermore.
Between two worlds. one lost and one

We sail by night and day.
