THE THING TO FEAR. ! c
We do not think that the demo- j
cratic press just now should be so s
much worried over the fact that Mr. s
Harding does not amount to. much, r
According to newspaper reports, "the c
republican candidate has made more i
than a million dollars running a t
country newspaper. The paper was so
small in the beginning and so unre-'
munerative an asset that it was on
one occasion closed by the sheriff.'
\ . i
We are not prepared to believe that 1
v a map who ^an take a newspaper like p
l that and make a million dollars is any f
. .. small fry. We cann9t be convinced t
of it by the word of mouth of news- r
papers which in the aggregate have s
not done so well.
But what should give us concern s
just now is tha choice of the demo-'I
crats. As long as the people down t
South have no choice but to support t
the democratic ticket if they vote
at all, their chief concern r
should be that proper men are nomi-'
nated by their own party. We will ?
not win many elections on the weak-'r
' ness of the adversary. !g
kAnd it is worth while to note that i

N and is making certain dis- (
tinct demands. That organization "]
demands an'Irish plank, a plank in- ?
tended to please certain voters in 1
New York and other large cities even 1
though it gives offense to England^ ]
Tammany demands a "wet" platform
and a rather "damp" candidate, as I
we are told by a special to the New 7
York Times, the greatest of the dem- ?
ocratic newspapers. Tammany too j
wants a strong labor plank. And t
Tammany will seek to dominate the i
? convention in San Francisco. . <
And why does Tammany want 1
these things? Well, perhaps Tam- ?
many cares who is elected president, 1
but that it is not the principal rea- '
' 1
son why Tammany wants these planks
in the platform, especially the "wet"
plank, along too with the "damp"
candidate. The New York Times thus
states Tammany's position: I
"The best that Tammany hopes to
get out of the San Francisco Convention
is something that will help the
Democratic organization in Manhattan
and the Bronx elect the judicial
ticket^this year and put the party in
good shape for the Mayoralty campaign
of 1921. That is the principal
reason why its leaders want a liberal
prohibition enforcement plank in the
platform."
Every state in the Union which
votes, or will vote the democratic
ticket has approved the prohibition
amendment to the federal constitution.
The South - tfhich has always
given, and will now give, the great
majority of the democratic votes in
the electoral college is solidly for
prohibition, not only by reason of the
federal constitutional amendment
but because of the fact that the peo
pie have voted for prohibition in
their local elections.
What we should worry about, is
whether or not we shall stultify ourselves
by sallowing the demapds of
the labor leaders and the desires pf
the Irish and of Tammany and thereby
go back on what We stand for in
Jin tVip . npxt
oraer u? get ? mu..? ... ,
election. Shall we allow Tammany
tfall and the democratic delegations
from the Northern states to name a
ticket for us to vote which is not in
accord with our own views? ShaU
the small democratic tail in the
Morth wag the democratic body in the
South?
I
If Gqyernor Cox and Governor
Edwards are named on the.democrat-'
ic ticket, or if either of them is namsd
on that ticket, it will be a direct
aid for the whiskey vote of the country,
whether the platform so declares
MA4>
. We should not worry about the.
jreat mistake which the republican
party has made until we ar# sure we
aave made no mistake. The majority
)f the people will not swallow a whiskey
barrel in order' to win an election,
nor shall the violent labor agitators
of the country dictate to the
ivhole country. We have enough to do
h this country to manage our own
affairs, and we should let the Irish
n America who want.to make Ireland
free go back there and do the fightng..

julrd. But both were men of big
learts and they appealed to the coun;ry
as such. Mr. Harding will likely
i? the same. He comes from a great
iection and his 'attitude is not of the
"few Englander. He may be depend>d
on to win the votes if the issue
:omes down to '"licker."
The democratic party must give us
t ticket which appeals to the country
md not alone*to Tammany. The balince
of the country should not be so
nuch interested in whether Tammany
:ontrols New York next year as it
s in the welfare of the whole counrv.

Size of teaspoons is not uniorm
in the United tSates. A coll'ecion

nost that number of different

Prescriptions often call for sub- \
tances containing poisonous drugs. J
3ut does the prescription call for (

easpoon? No. It invariably reads:
'Teaspoonful every three or what-1

If a patient suffering, say, from

Very sound reasoning all that;

ather than a doctor. If it were a
solution of arsenic stryshnine nitroglycerine
or something of that kind
;he doctor would designate his dose

KINNIKINICK
I
, Some of the national magazines
and newspapers are becoming worried
over the fact that they have
been told that an anti-tobacco cru-j
sade is being secretly waged j
throughout the United States and
they predict if the worshippers of
^ady Nicotine are not immediately
aroused to look to their present
^privilege to enjoy the weed that
silently will the crusade do its dead
. ly worK. some 01 me piu^aganuu
the anti-tobacco folk are sending
.out qonsists of songs with appropriate,
words tellmg of the deadly
effects of the tobacco habit. The
songs aje set tp music of the popular
type like the jazz and the-raggy
stuff. But the words are masterpieces
of some old maids' hearts.
You can almost hear the kitty * purring
so suggestive of dear Aunt
Sallv are the dreadful words of woe
to the smokers ^ar. In anticipation
of the anti-tobacco crusaders scoring
another prohibition victory we,
recommend that some of our rubber
tire farmers put in an acre or so of
kinnikinick next year to forestall
the attemtp to deprive us of an after-set-back-dinner
smoke. Kinnikinick
grows well in any climate and
the Indians of the Northwest, have
long used is as an acceptable sub-j
stitute for tobacco. Anyway it will
suit the tobaco uSer as well as Bevo
does some others.
A Tribute To A Confederate
Veteran
A\ eig! t o'clock on the evening of
Tuesday, June 1st, Mr. John G.

Born on November 22, 1843, Mr.
Walker was in his seventy-seventh '
year. For several years he had be.en
growing feeble, but before his last
illness he was still strong enough
to follow his usual calling that to
helfc) in all the good work of his
church and neighborhood where he
was greatly respected and loved.

to be able to pay^ this tribute
to one who bore the brunt of battle
