SEAS PERILS EVER PRESENT
ManeuVers and Sham Battles Cannot
b Held Without the EIemen4
. Of Danger.

II IL the great distinction OF the sea
that It's peace maneuvers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade Of tho naval service a seaman
may belong, when he is on active
service he Is always face to face with
the real thing" A mistake OF any
sort, pardonable miscalculation, a
momentary failure of nerve or atten.
ton, or even some small unavoidable
accident. may involve the forfeit OF
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manli
ness, resourcefulness and self-control.
The submarine branch OF the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers OF
It's own, as the sad tale OF previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs 1t is OF
a nature to make a profound impress
sion upon tho public. But In relation
to the number Of submarines in COM
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
MN who serve In them do not incur a
risk out OF all proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine. Daily
faced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
ton OF naval character, and are a
pledge, In no small degree, Of the Sc
curity upon which as q nation we re-.
pose.

those instigated for personal revenge
have been sifted out and useless ex-
penditure of the peoples money pre-
vented, so that the cost of these
Offices has been extremely light. AT
the same time in practically every
case where a complaint was entered
the accused either plead guilty or
was convicted. The evidence gath
cred by Sheriff Herrick in most of
the cases was so strong that plea
of guilty followed arraignment in the
circuit court, and not for years has
so little time been taken in trying
criminal cases as under Prosecuting
Attorney Collins-hence big saving
to the taxpayers, a sthe cost of the
court is practically hundred dollars
day. We had no misgivings in en-
dorsing these gentlemen two years
ago; we believe they have made good
and that their official course will be
approved by an increased majority
at the election. In fact, the Demo.
cratic party admits that Mr.. Collins
is all right by not making a nomina-
ton for the Office.
Four years of good service have
qualified Albert L. Nichols to better
perform the multitude of duties
which come to the Office of County
Clerk than could be expected from a
new official, and the same can be said
of Gilbert ]. Cole after six years in
cumbency of the Office of Register of
Deeds. Both of these gentlemen are
so certain to be reelected that we
question whether either of their op-
ponents will waste any time in con-
testing with them for the favor of
the voters. The records in both
offices are accurate and neat, the du-
ties of both attended to in a thor
ough-going manner and with cour-
tesy which makes it a pleasure TO
come in contact with these officials.
AS County Treasurer, Frank H.
Rush has been "on the job" almost
every hour since he assumed the
Office Fl months ago and his popu-
larity is attested by the good words
spoken for him by those who have
occasion to do business with the
Office. Mr.. Rush's friends were GER
tain two years ago when he was first
nominated that this would be the
case as he had demonstrated his
ability to successfully handle public
work in other positions. ShiawaJsee
has had many excellent treasurers,
and Mr.. Rush measures up to the
standard of his predecessors; the
work of the Office is always up TO
date, the books correctly kert, and
none of the duties of the Office ne
elected. He has earned the good
will which all seem to have for him
and which assures his serving the
limit of the time allowed by law
four years.
The splendidly balanced ticker is
with Neil r. Walsh and
William J. Parker, as candidates for
Circuit Court commissioners; Yer
non w. Royce for County Surveyor;
Alonzo Griffin for County Drain
c Commissioners, and G.. A. Cole and
Julius Kebler for Coroners. With the
exception of Messrs. Griffin and Keb-
Ter, these men have served the county
satisfactorily in the past and can be
depended upon to do the same in the
future. Mr.. Griffin has been super
visor of Vernon township for a long
term of years and is conversant with
county affairs and has had experience
which peculiarly fits him for the
office of Drain Commissioner. We
