Opposition to Elliott

The candidacy of one man for the nomination

as representative to Congress from the Sixth district on the Republican ticket in opposition to

RpnrMn Native Elliott is meeting with no en-

.vr. couragement in the district.

Republican leaders say this man ought not to embarrass Elliott at this critical period of the nation's history. The Newcastle Courier says it is the view of Henry county Republicans that

Renresentative Elliott should not be forced to

leave Washington to make sure his nomination

The paper goes on to say that expressions to this

effect have been heard in almost every county of

the district.

The Brookville American says that it is pretty

well understood over the district that Elliott wil have but few opposing votes. The Liberty HeraldVannounces that it is back

ing Elliott ton continued tenure andwill do all it

can in looking after his interests that he may remain t his post in Washington. In Richmond and Wayne county there is no sentiment for his opponent. Representative Elliott has proved his worth. He is an able and efficient representative of the Sixth and has proved his ability by his votes on the highly important bills that have come up in the national legislature.

Two widely diverging theories of government

are fighting it out for the mastery.

Imperial Germany believes in a state organi

zation that rests on an army for its supremacy and dreams of forcing every nation to accept that

form of government.

The Allies and the United States are pledged

to a state organization which holds that all gov

ernmental instrumentalities belong to the people and must be exercised only at their will and

for their benefit.

The former makes the people subject to the

state. The latter makes the state subject to the

neoDle.

Th fnrmpr helieves that the race with the

strongest army must inflict its Kultur and cus

toms on every weak nation. That latter says that every nation has the right to determine its own eovernment and that the weakest nation has

just as much right to untrammeled and free de

velopment as the strongest. If the former insists that the biggest army is the deciding factor in racial development, the latter insists that the enterprise and genius of its people is the determining factor. The former believes might is right, the latter believes in justice, fair play, righteousness, humanity and civilization. These conflicting theories, represented by Germany on the one hand, and the Allies and the United States on the other hand, are engaged in a death struggle. The offensive on the western front will not

decide which army is the strongest, but whether enlightened principles are to conquer or perish. The results of that struggle will shape the future destiny of the world and of civilization. Small wonder then that the whole world with bated breath is waiting in suspense for the outcome of the sanguinary struggle. Must not every lover of freedom hope and pray for the success of our arms.

The Western Offensive Seemingly the long heralded offensive of the Kaiser has been launched on the western front. Bloody battles and frightfully large casualty lists may be expected. But the associated governments in the enterprise of checking the autocratic ambitions of Emperor William have steeled themselves for this ordeal and the people back home are ready for the sacrifice. What the extent of the offensive may be, cannot be determined. Dispatches show that it was launched on a wide front. The Allies will make the Kaiser pay dearly for every foot of ground he takes. That he cannot break the line is a foregone conclusion, that he may make some gains here and there is admitted but the punishment he will receive in making his gains will far offset the slight advantage. The Kaiser says the crucial hour has arrived. Truly the hour is crucial.

Why the Allies Fight On By Earl Curzon

ff--r ET no one think for a moment that it is merely

by territorial restitution or by a reversion to the

status auo ante that the objects for which the,

allies are fighting will be attained. We are fighting, it Is true, to recover for Belgium, France, Russia, Servia and Roumania the territories which they have lost, and to secure for them reparation for their cruel wrongs. But you may restore to them all afld more than all the losses they have experienced; you may pile Indemnities upon them such as no treasury In Europe could produce, and yet the war would have been in vain if we had no guaranties and no securities against a repetition of these things in the future. That is what we are fighting for. We are not fighting, as I sometimes see represented in German papers, to crush or to destroy Germany. Such an idea I do

not believe ever entered into the minds of a thinking hu

man being in this country. But we are fighting to secure

that the German spirit shall not crush the free progress of

nations, and that the armed strength of Germany, aug

mented and fortified, shall not terrorize the future of mankind. We are ready enough for peace when these guaran

ties have been secured and these objects have been at tained."

If the whole German army Were sent into Russia, There would be only one man To every square mile. And then the western front Could get up and move east About 200 miles. And it all would be over. That may be all wrong From a tactical standpoint. But it sounds good. Personally I couldnt wish Old Bloodshot Bill Any more trouble than he In going to have in Russia In about three months.

POLISH FLAG IS CARRIED THROUGH GOTHAM STREETS

Boys Can Help Win the War U. S. Working Reserves Gives Opportunity to Serve Country on Farms By P. C. HOLDEN

THE shortage of farm labor is the greatest we ever have known, and it will likely increase as the war progresses. But in spite of the labor problem, farm acreage under cultivation mast not be decreased; food production must be kept up to the maximum. We must win this war, and we cannot win it unless we produce every possible pound of foodstuffs. Every acre of land that is busy is working for os ; every idle acre strikes a blow at Liberty. But farmers cannot cultivate all their land unless they have sufficient labor. Farm machines will make up for some of the shortage, but not all. Human labor must be recruited from some source. Uncle Sam Appeals to Boys. In this great emergency, the government is appealing to the schoolboys of America to the great army of strong, alert, active, energetic youngsters between the oges of 16 and 21 to enlist in the U. S. Boys' Working Reserve. These young men are filled with the patriotic spirit of the nation. They are under the legal age for conscription in the army, but they want to do all they can to help their older brothers win the war. They cannot fight, but they can help produce food to feed the fighters. In order to encourage these boys to work on farms this summer and

Members of the Reserve are given federal recognition but are not liable to military duty. This is every boy's opportunity to have an Important part in making history. Their services will be as important as though they were in the army or navy. The work will be hard but healthy and In after years, when liberty has been forever established throughout the world, they will be proud to show their badges of honor given them by the United States as evidence of their faithful and loyal service in the great struggle. ! Every boy should join the Reserve and give his best to his country in this great hour of need. Every fnrmer should be kind and patient with the boy who is doing his best to help him. Be careful not to work him too long hours. Look carefully after his physical and moral welfare and his health.

The man in the next flat was pounding on the wall. "Look here." he cried, "I can't sleep with that kid yelling like that. If you don't make him stop, I will.,

"Come right in," said the baby's father. "You are as welcome as the flowers in spring." Neighbor Halloa, Jenkins! How are you? Haven't seen you in the garden for quite a while, and you never come and see the wife and me now. Why is that? Jenkins Well, the fact is. old chap, that it's not through ill-will or bad feeling, or anything like that, you know; only you and Mrs. Possmore have borrowed so many things from me that when I see your place it makes me feel quite homesick. Little Mary was not accustomed to the saying of grace. One night she went for supper with the next-door neiehbor. "Daddy," said she the next morning, "what was it Mr. Smith read off the platter?"
