THOMAS C. McRAE,
Candidate for Governor
When the Politicians Win the People Lose
This fact has been a long time dawning on most people, but
developments over the whole country reveal that at last the
people are coming to a realization of it.
Various definitions have been given of the word “politics,”
but the one generally accepted now is, “FOOLING THE PEO
PLE.”
The vast bulk of the people are honest. Only a small
fringe of our population ever aspire to political pie and plunder.
The business of the professional politician, like some of those
running for governor now, is to “herd” the voters into his camp
or corral.
But the people do not seem to be as unwary and as gullible
as in former times. They are thinking for themselves. It has
come to be a common joke how people are now giving the politi
cal propagandists the “horse laugh” when they utter their
claims of the earth daily around “headquarters,” and in out
lying precincts. “Outlying” is right.
Professional politicians in both parties are scared out of
their wits on the eve of the Chicago and San Francisco conven
tions. In numerous preferential primaries the organization fel
lows have bitten the dust. The people seem disposed to take
things into their own hands.
One of the common claims in Arkansas now being made
by the professionals is that McRae can’t win; the politicians
are all for his opponents.” Well, this is not worrying McRae.
He “notes with pleasure” that no single opponent of his is able
to command even a majority of the politicians. They are beau
tifully divided.
If the politicians elect a man for governor, be ye not de
ceived, they will use him after he gets in office.
Again. “WHEN THE POLITICIANS WIN THE PEOPLE
LOSE.”
1 promise you a business administration, free from control
by the politicians and run in the interest of those who pay the
taxes.

NATION HONORS
ALL HER HEROES
Memories of Veterans of Three
Wars Are Enshrined in
Country's Heart.
Memorial day Is the day of the dead,
the veterans of three wars; but,
though newly consecrated by the fresh
and poignant sacrifices of those who
passed away In the great war of liber
ation "over there,” there cannot be
now, any more than in the past, any
associations but those of true joy and
honorable pride, far removed from the
despair of causes lost, or from griefs
over those whose death is without
meaning and end without result For
it is the holy Joy of those who know
that the sacrifices were not in vain
that distinguished this day of days
this year, coupled with the realization
that both those who went and those
who remained Joined freely in the
oblation on the altar of the country
with an unfaltering belief in the fine
nobility of the obligation and the deep
significance of what it meant for the
common good.
While the ceremonies on this side
follow the usual lines, ht lightened by
the opportunity to pay fresh homage
where homage Is due, the tribute that
is paid "over there,” beginning with
the ceremony at Suresnos, near which
has I.. developed the American
cot • i y nearest to rai ls, at which
I*res int Wilson officiated last year,
in the very presence of the dead them
selves, takes on an especially moving
character. For in nothing did the
American expeditionary force and all
Its helpful accessory agencies, such ns
the Red Cross, so distinguish them
selves as in their concern that the last
resting place of those who fell abroad
should be neither unknown, unmarked
nor unhonored. As a result of this
determined and consecrated effort ol
all services, the new graves of the
hero dead, be they located where they
fell, or removed to the permanent
centers of burial that have been se
looted at appropriate places as th<
official American cemeteries, will re
ceive every attention that is their Just
due from their brothers in arms “ovet
there” and a grateful country. Tin
graves, all separately and singly
marked with the cross, or the star
save it! name arid title, no distinction
of rank being allowed in tlie identify
ing symbol, will be decorated, one and
all. And while much that has been
devised as to the handling of these
special cemeteries has followed the
plan of the British, who have been a’
work at the problem much longer, yet
a peculiarly American touch is given
In that tills annual commemoration of
Memorial day, so familiar to us all.
Is new to our allies, and to the French,
though they have gladly co-operated
with file American forces in order to
make the day a truly notable one and
one of general and significant com
memoration.
So far as the general cemeteries go
we have followed the British In the
plan for the separate graves, but they
have goue a little further In that each
large burying place will be dominated
by a tall crass and plain altar stone,
described by Kipling ns “the Cross of
Sacrifice and the Stone of Remem
brance," the stone bearing the Inscrip
tion, also suggested by Kipling, “Their
name llveth forevermore." Save for
this, the great concentration ceme
teries of the American forces, such as
Romague-sur-Montfaucon, the largest,
containing 36.000 graves of those who
fell In the Meuse-Argonne battles, will
represent little more than the sim
pllclty of Quaker burying grounds.
,lnce the permanent memorial menu
ments that may he erected are yet to
be determined. Rut there Is no <pies
tlon of the monumental effect of the
commemoration, nor will those who lie
In the smaller cemeteries or In the
little French churchyards be over
looked today or In the years to come.
This Is all as it should be. And
quite ns those at home would wish It
And, as has happened In the case of
the older celebrations, even though the
day brings its fresh and deeper sor
rows. at the same time there must he
felt everywhere the comforting sense
that the country and those who have
passed away were equal to their task
In the world crisis. It is but meet
and proper, therefore, that all should
Insist that wherever they may lie each
and nil who paid the final debt shall
be marked from among their fellows,
dead and living, by such seemly and
ceremonial observances as we have
set up here for generations and are
non- repeating abroad. Respect ami
recognition for what they did and
proper honors for the hero dead lend
dignity to the living, glorify all sense
of duty ami discipline ami lift nil life
into the nobler channels of a human
ity thnt Is not, as Is writ of the beasts
of the fields, “without aim or hope,"
but serves understanding^ and not In
vain.
His Closing Schedule.
She was at the hack of the church
ami she was getting restless and anx
ious to leave. Baby jvas restless, so
mother beckoned the usher to her.
“Is the sermon nearly finished?'’ she
whispered.
“No. Another half-hour yet,’’ re
plied the usher, “lie's only on his
lastly.’ ’’
“Will It take him that long to say
his ’lastly’?’’ she asked anxiously.
“No, mum! There’s ‘one more word
aud I'm done,’ and the ‘finally,’ and
the ‘In conclusion’ to. come yet.”
