I SENATOR BORAH ONCE MORE
iH Haying hc-en interviewed on President Wilson's statnnmt as
m the League f Nations, Senator Borah said:
iH "I rejoice with the president I hat wo nre having a great
referendum. 1 did all. I could to helft him get it. The peo
iH pie now will decide it and the vote in Maine indicates that
iH the people are becoming acquainted with the league.
""The issue is simplified and accentuated by the presi
1 dent when he states that it is the league a written into the
iH treaty that must he voted up or voted down, no changes 013
H reservations. Governor Cox will take notice that his state-
iB ment on the train yesterday that he would sit down with
B the senate and work "lit reservations has aroused just re-
sentment in the president, it is the league as Europe hand-
cd it lo us which wc arf ,n ak. ov none at all
"TH president speaks of the United States giving n
her opportunity to lead in the assertion of the rights i' peo-
pies There are al present nearly five hundred million SUb
jeet peoples at this wr hour resisting the domination and
control placed over them by that league and treaty. Some
of them are fighting for their independence and freedom
which is heing withheld 1 the military SutocrSC estab
lished by the league and 'treaty. I quote from a great Kng
lish paper, which I held in my hand when the president s
H appeal was handed to me;
' 'We promise ihis population its freedom and we hang
Hi and shoot 1hem for claiming it. It is a disgrace' .to our ini-
H perial
m "The people here spoken of are the people of Mcsopo-
"The fart is the treaty and league invited the United
States to become a member of a military autocracy, to hold
in subjection ami exploitation millions of human beings who yj
are just as inuch entitled to their freedom as wo are.''
Borah is of a very peculiar make up One reading the foregoing
H -would gain the imprest: thai BOrali ie foi the League ol Nation
in I modified form, wjien as a matter of fact he openly has declared
against all "entangling alliances.'' and never has pointed out a rem
edy for the world upset. He is against Senator Harding because the
H senator is not an irreconcilable. Evidently be i-- opposed to over
Hj one who is mt endorsing his every utterance.

I THE OLD CAMPAIGN
What 's become of the o!d fa3hioned man that carried a dripping
oil torch and wore a blue and red oilob.th jtfrpc in the Klaine ami
Logan campaign torch-light procession ' What's become of the meth
ij 'ds of political campaigns of yestferytarj What's become of Ihi
great horseback parades of both parties, when all the young bucks
i.f .Jackson mu-Cla townships ic in ' night on the plow horsei
Slid rodf two abreast down .Main street b the blu.c of the oil torch
and the blare of the hrassev hand '
They're gone Old campstj$u methods are mil of style, like
J bustles end hoopskirts. The custom of placarding the windows .f the
American home with pictures t' the head d the family's favorite
candidate still exists, f But even that may cause trouble, now lha?
father may like the looks of Harding, while mother FavOrs Gox. And
if there are voting children Look Ottt for complications.
Yes. and what 's l me of the old-time pol -raising 1 Those werq
i be days.
Today's presidential campaign has become a matter of cold cal
culating, efficient organization, and machlnfc-lika execution Tiny
lon't seem to be able to stir up the excitement that thej did when
ihe Cleveland ami Hendricks club came out with red flambeaux, hit

FROM THE FIELDS OF FLANDERS
B North Ogdcn is to bury one of its soldier boys a da this week
when the body of Raymond Dudman Holmes arrives from Prance.
Private Holmes was one of the firt to r spoml to the cell m
B his country. He earl) was on the scene of act ion. fighting back
H autocracy While in the trenches he wrote of his experiences and,
I at the mm . The Standard Examiner published his letters svhii h we're
B words of hope and encouragement for the hoys who were getting
ready to go over to the Battlefronl
I The Standard-Kxaininer suggests hat the funeral be an OCCS-
! gion for an expression of public thankftllncssthat this country of
ours; in the dark day! of 1017 and 191S, had boys willing to die for
J America
I We eheered the young maTfhood as ihe groups lefl our city,
laler to be transported to frame.- Now is the time to reverent I J
I I take off our hats ami solemnly pay tribute to those who arc return
1 ing to us jnathe sleep which knows no awakening Sov, is the timi
to attempt to pay in words of gratitude the debt of service which
called for supreme sacrifice on Hie part of fathers ami mothers who
said farewell and today are saying good-bye.
3 WHAT'S AN ACRE
What's an acre? Simple problem in arithmetic. The book says
1 it. is 16 square rods No fault to find with that But
1 Ofigkially an acre meant any field no matter what its size. Some-
j times, even now-, measurement has nothing to do with it. Take (rod's
I .-Here, for instance. How big is 1 hat 1 ' Any burial ground, isn't it '
Surely- And when one speaks ol "broad acres" he doesn't mean thai
I each acre consists Cf 160 square rods No, sir Under that situation
I ' the measure is indeterminate As a measure of land the acre was firsl
I defined by King Edward I. And here's the measure As much land
J as a yoke of oxen could plow in a day In this king i il mwt
t H&ve' psid to breed oxen strong of limb and ileet of foot. It was
I b?y an ct of Kint' George IV that the varying measure then extant
J was reduced to ;i uniform standard
1 At thai, tin- acre in England and the United States is 4 4 1 Bquarp
f ards; the Seotdi acre IS 6150 yards, the Irish aire i-, Ts-pi ards,
.1 while, for local purposes, in the British Hiop fields the acre ranges in
Hj sjzo from 440 to K'.OOU square yards. Take your choice.

"All I have to say is that the result of my observations abroad
