Go to the Polls

Good government in a democracy depends upon the voters. It is within their sphere to keep

incompetents and undesirables off the ticket and out of office. The forthcoming primary gives

Wayne county voters the privilege of selecting

the men that are to represent both parties in the election. The good citizen will go to the polls Tuesday. He will cast his ballot for decent men. The unprincipled man also will go to the polls. He will vote for inefficient and undesirable men. If the good citizens want good men on the tickets, they must outvote the undesirable citizens. If poor men are put on either ticket as a result of the primary, the patriots of Wayne county will have no one to blame but themselves. They cannot accuse political bosses and factions. The blame rests on them solely. This community knows who the good candidates are. Vote for them.

The New War Program Secretary Baker's announcement of the scope of the military aid which the United States will give the Allies and the steps which have been taken to translate the theory into an actuality, deserves the support of our country. It may have taken America . months to become aroused to the task ahead of us, but the turning point seems to have arrived. The inspection which Secretary Baker made of our troops abroad and his conference with General Pershing and the military and govern

mental leaders of the Allies are bearing fruit. And what is of infinitely more importance, the American people as a whole are loud in their support of the new policy which the secretary has inaugurated. Our leaders have the assurance that the man power and wealth of the country are back of a policy of action. They are tired of talking and dawdling, and anxious to roll up their sleeves to go to work. Co-incident with the announcement of America's new zeal is the change of attitude in Germany toward our intervention. Six months ago the German war lords were laughing at us. Today they are realizing that America's intervention is the factor that will prevent them from snatching victory from the Allies. This is not said in a boastful spirit, for all of us admit that our troops have not saved the day by their great numbers, but it is said as an indication of the added power which it gives to the allied command in mobilizing reserves and bolstering up weak spots in the line. Our boys have demonstrated their fighting ability. This is attested to by the commendations which they have

received from both. British and French commanders. The thousands of Americans who follow the original expedition will not be behind in their preecessors in valor and strength. As they go over in increasing numbers, the power of the Allies will swell, while the reserve power of Germany dwindles. Therein lies the significance of our power.

Moment

Out West they dumped a German sympathizer into a large doughbin In a bakery. But why spoil a lot of perfectly good dough? No matter how humble, there Is no sensation like that which comes with the ownership of a Liberty Bond. The latest war song: "Bouncing a Bomb on Von Hindenburg's Bean." The song goes to illustrate the entire uselessness of this particular form of human endeavor.

T

Eskimos Help Red Cross

From the Washington Times

HE world war has even extended to the polar reg

ions and jarred the Eskimo into making some of the comforts for soldiers, it was learned through

William T. Lopp, chief of the Alaskan division of the bureau of education. "The Eskimos raise money by selling furs, cutting ivory and longshoring for ships that visit their isolated homes," said Mr. Lopp, who has just reached Washington from Alaska. "One village which had been saving up .for years for a sawmill and had accumulated $130, gave $100 of its scanty hoard," he added, to indicate the way the peaceful Eskimo is sacrificing for the savage white man.

WAR GARDENING If it takes six months to train a soldier, we are of the opinion it takes about six years to train a war garden or to be more exact, a war gardener. If soldiering is a science, war gardening is an exact science. Out in our neighborhood a company owns a lot of land and lets it out to tenants or amateur gardeners for just enough to pay the water bill. The gardens are twenty to fifty feet in size. Last year our next-door neighbor planted what he thought were beans and got vegetable oysters. Another went in for turnips and got potatoes. A third decided to mix all the seeds and plant them together, so he could not possibly lose. He never found out what he did get, for just as his delightful mixture was ready to harvest somebody came along and did his harvesting for him.. This year all these boys know more about gardening than they did last year, but each year brings on a new crop of gardeners. It might be well to mix veteran gardeners with the amateurs, the

same as they mix seasoned campaigners with the green troops over in France.

DINNER STOHIES An official who was making up an assessment roll because of some recent street improvements called at each houso on the improved streets to learn the names of the property owners. At one house he climbed out of his car, went to the door and knocked. "Who owns this property?" he asked. "Why, I do," the woman answered. The official got her name and put it

whom he was endeavoring to make a favorable Impression. "Did you ever long for death? he asked In a low and moving tone. "Whose?" inquired the charming, but practical young person. ' PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

By HAL POD Front the Indiana Times I clip a gem with my name appended thereto. To tell the truth this is the first time I have ever read this same gem. Here it is: "Do you think you'll buy a car this summer?" asked the dapper auto salesman, who thought he had discovered a live prospect. "Yes." drawled Pohr Dubb, "I think I will ever summer but I alius end up by rldin' the street cars." Hal Pod. Due thanks to Fred Myers for thus bringing me into the limelight. The other day I read an Item in a small town sheet published in this section of the state which struck me as rather funny. The item referred to a man who had been killed by a train. It said: "The dead man crossed the tracks directly in front of the train." Mr. Creel recently said, "I am a much criticized man, but my life is an open book. Let them investigate my Hast." Perhaps Mr. Creel means a Utank book. .According to the latest fashion news tar and feathers will be extensively wol n this summer by pro-Germans. Here's one I ought to have sprung several days ago but really forgot all aboutf it. It concerns this ruling made

by Mr. Hoover that there should De no lemonade served at circuses this year, for the purpose of further conserving the Ripply of sugar. I have consumed perhaps something like 500 or more glasses of circus lemonade in my lifetime, and this is the first time I have ever known they put sugar in it. Sauer kraut uwed to be about $30 per barrel, but I see the war has resulted in Its dropping to about $12 because it Is a German dish. Say, can't we fake

up some way of proving that sirloin steak is pro-German? This business of forcing a pro-German to kiss the flag is sort of beyond my understanding. If a man should insult my wife, providing of course I had one, I surely wouldn't think of making him kiss her. Mr. McAdoo says he has begun wearing patched trousers. This is of course a mere figure of speech. Everyone knows that he never has time to sit down. Kokomo Tribune. If this be twentieth century wit or logic, whatever they call it, I don't quite get it. If a man didn't wear trousers only when he sat down a few of us guys might look kind of funny running around the streets in our excuse me, please. I think somebody on the Indianapolis Times had better get a new typewriter ribbon. I read a story therein the other day which pertained to a musical program. A part of it said, "Many complaints were heard about the singing of Miss Smith." I presume whoever wrote it meant it to read "compliments." .
