OUR POLICY:
To support such measures as are unquestionably for the good ot
Mason County as an entire community, rather than aueb propositions
as are in favor of the individual interest, or of one section as against
another.. And likewise to earnestly and consistently oppose all things
Jiat are not for the pood of the county as a whole.
THEIR BELOVED
The Democrats of Missouri have in convention solemnly decided
to ostracise the donkey as their emplcra, and supplant it with the
Goddess of Liberty. That is easier said than done. Obstinacy and
braying bv that party long ago popularised the donkey as the sym
bolical bas-relief for the Democratic shield; and in the cartoonry of
the day that has become a conventional design to indicate the party
which kicks, bites, and fill the air with discord up to election, and
crops thistles in the morning following. The best the cartoonists for
the Missouri papers can do in carrying out the design of the conven
tion will be to present a picture with the face and forraof a Greek
vestal virgin eqiupped with the ears, hoofs and ttail of the lowly ass.
A search through Murray's "Manual of Mythology" suggests the
Irishman's remark, "IleU, there aint tno such animal!" So the
artists will have to depend upon their imaginations, and when the
votes are counted it will be found that the Irishman was right after
a"- . , j
The effortery of those Missouri Democrats in wresting the god
dess from her national pedestal and setting her up on a party plat
form calls for and will receive state-wide condemnation. "Freedom
shrieked when Kosciusko fell;" she chortled when Breckenridge
Long walked the plank, and she will emulate JPoan of Arc this fall
when, backed by her Republican cohort, she sails into the violators
of her sanctity. There will be no Reed redivivus.
Nor can the loquacious Senator fro mthe Iron Mountain state
consistently defend their sacrilege. Those were not devotees of
liberty who acquiesced in his expulsion from the Democratic National
Convention in 1920, after he had been duly chosen as a delegate.
Those were not free men who bowed to the mandate of Woodrow
Wilson whereby the entire Democratic state organization and all the
Democratic newspapers were arrayed against Reed in the recent
primaries. True, they may claim that they were disciples of the
"New Freedom" which rode this nation like the old man of the sea
from 1913 to 1921, but 16,000,000 voters rose in their wrath in 1920,
cast that false goddess from her block and returned to the true
faith, since when the "New Freedom" has reclined in the political
gutter. Those were not free men who demanded in 1920, and again
in 1922, that the United States relinquish its sovereign and inde
pendents rights to the league of nations and place the Federal Con
stitution in escrow in the hands of certain international bankers.
In Missouri they were the very men who now "crook the pregnant
hinges of the knee" to a goddess they have thrice denied and would
now monopolize.
If the Democrats in Missouri, or elsewhere, want a goddess to
supersede their long-eared quadruped, they should select Medusa
who desecrated the temple of Athene, to behold whom turned th
spctator into stone. Thus did they desecrate our temple of liberty.
And the Republican party, as Perseus, may be depended upon to
decapitate that lady of the serpent
THIS BLACK AMERICAN SOUL.
American pacifists and league of nations, advocates, including
newspapers, Democratic politicians and various organizations, blame
the United States for what happened in Asia Minor. They say that
it was the inglorious isolation of this country which sacrificed the
Turks to the Greeks and then the Greeks to the Turks and released
the fire and sword of Islamic fury.
They say the United States if it would save its soul must immedi
ately thrown in its men and money against the Turks. The American
&onl is bothering a good many people and a number of them are pale
Americans. All the American inmates of Bedlam must have climbed
the wall and got away.
' In the confused history of intrigue in Asia Minor in the last year
two facts at least are clear. The allies in dealing with Turkey and
Greece were dealing in one instance with a nation which had been
conquered and virtually put out of Europe and in t heother with a
small country which depends upon sea trading. Because it so de
pends it was easily handled during the great war and brought in on
the side of the allies in spite of its Germanic king.
A small dependent country and a conquered country have been
allowed or provoked to conduct themselves so that Britain is calling
on the dominions for troops and Europe is shrinking in fear of a Mos
lem and bolshevik invasion. And this, in the opinion of the pale
Americans, is the fault of the United States.
Imperialistic schemes, playing with the most dangerous of ele
ments, bring disasters to Christians and Moslems alike, and the Amer
ican soul is defiled again. It is a curious state o fmind some of our
fellow citizens manage to get in, if indeed it is a state with which a
mind could have anything to do.
Owing to the pacifists and politicians the United States has no
men to send anywhere even on its own business. This country dis
covered at Versailles that its representatives were incompetent to
deal with European intrigue and the sane majority of Americans
refused to subscribe to a peace which has caused war, starvation and
despair.
The men on American destroyers are going without sleep to
carry off refugees and wounded from zones devastated by a war
which could have been prevented by the chief members of the league
of nations. The American sould is no wsupposed, by pale Americans,
to sit in sackcloth and ashes, dismayed by its sins and humiliated by
grossness and its timidity. Chicago Tribune.
HEARST AND FORD
"Jf Mr. Hearst hud paid for the campaign publicity given him in
the newspapers lie owiih, the cost of his candidacy would have been
very great" remarks the New York Tribune. If Mr. Ford had paid
for the publicity he received through advertising bis flivver wheu
be ran aguinvt Senator Newberry and churged that publicity up to
campaign expenditures, the account would undoubtedly hav ben
Vrester than the aum which the friends of Mr. Newberry spent.
Ford 4um licked, and no wiik Hearst, the Utter 'a defeat giving as
touch relief to New Vrk i the former's did to the whole country.
Because of tln-ir control of curtain advertising chaiinttla they were
not obliged to aiM'ount for vampaign publicity, but the people aould
p'l U foiled at that. , , .. .

LATE CORS THIS YEAR IS
BEST SUITED FOR SILAGE.
Lexington, Ky. Practically all
late corn grown in Kentucky during
the summer Just past will be better
suited for silage than for any other
form of feed, according to Wayland
Rhoads, beef cattle specialist of the
College of Agriculture. As a result of
dry- weather experienced throughout
the state during the corn growing sea
son, the late corn crop contains more
stanlk than grain, thus making It
especially desirable as silage. Any
farmer who has a field o flate corn
and an empty silo has the possibilities
for a full suplly of good winter feed
for his cattle.
"Of the 11.000 silos in the state,
practically all of them will be filled
tils fall. During the last two years
when labor costs were high and feed
costs low, there have been a few cases
where the silo was not as profitable as
dry feeding. However, many farmers
have found that the silo was a great
saver of feed even under these condi
tions. Having proved its value to the
farmer who keeps ten eows or more
throughout the winter, the alio is now
past the experimental stage. In the
case of a dairy, this method of storing
feed saves from 30 to 40 per cent of
the feed bill. Where steers are to be
fattened in the winter teed lot, the
feed in got silage in the ration Is the
general rule because of the cheaper
gnlns which can be produced by this
method. On farms where a breeding
herd is kept, the silo Is even more
valuable.
"If cattle are to be carried through
the winter and finished on grass the
following spring and summer, the
same field ot corn that Is fed dry will
feed one-third more caUle If placed In
the silo. Tbe gains made by the cat
tle the folowlng spring are about tbe
same under the two methods of feed
ing. If the corn has become dry before
the silage Is made, It Is best to add
ate ras tbe alio is being filled."
Hir Ernest Rutherford estimates
Unit the output to date of radium la
K i! rope and America Is only 40 and 130
grammes respectively, giving a total
uorld output up to tbe present time of
about 170 grammes, or approilmately
five and one-balf ounces.
