CANDIDATES HELD
FORTH HERE TUESDAY.

As advertised, for some weeks,
the candidates for Commonwealth
Attorney spoke at tine Crystal
Theatre in Hickman Tusday af-
ternoon TO a good crowd.
The speaking began at lao
with Judge Gus Thomas, of May
field, candidate for Judge of the
Court of Appeals. He made a
good argument why this section
of this district should be repre-
scented in the highest court in the
State. His speech was we'll re-
tceiyed.
The candidates for Circuit
Judge, through the courtesy of
the candidates for Commonwealth
Attorney, presented their claims
and from the applause it seemed
that the people are taking more
interest in this race than in any
other. These candidates in an able
manner asked the voters TO re-
member them ON August It'll.
After the candidates for Judge
came the candidates for Common
wealth Attorney--five of them
Turner, Adams, Wickliffe. Rob
bins and MOOrman-who in flow
cry language told the reasons
why they should be elected and
their opponent sent back TO pri-
vate life.
II was thought that the candi-
dates for State Senator would
speak, but the crowd began to
thin out before all candidates had
spoken. II is probable that at
a later date these candidates will
arrange speaking dates over the
district, as well as the candidates
Tor representative.
The arguments made by the
candidates were good natured. an
in some instances humorous. One
charge against Bunk Gardner was
that he was bachelor, but he
nailed that by promising to mar
ny the sweetest girl in May
field" five days after the election
The election is not yet won by
any of them, and there is YET
plenty OF time for the political
trickster and trader, who expects
fayos at the hands of officers OF
any of our courts, TO get in his
dirty work.

The Retirement Vote.

Several thousand votes have been
cast by the department clerks in re-
sponse to The Stars invitation to
express themselves on the subject of
retirement So great has been the
volume of ballots that it has been
impossible since the closing of the
polls" to count and tabuiate them,
but as soon as possible this will be
done and the results will be an
nounced.
These votes will afford an interest
ing indication of the attitude of the
department employees on this impor-
tant question, SO seriously affecting
their welfare. 1t is not, of course,
conclusive. There are many thou
sand clerks who have not troubled
themselves to vote, but who doubt
less have ideas on the subject. To q
good many of the younger employees
it is not at present vital question.
To the elder ones, however, it Is a
matter of deep concern. and it is
their hope that within few years the
government will establish some form

ers, one carrying a wireless appara-
tus. were apparently conveying the
Gulflight' No suggestion is vouch-
safed as to why this circumstance
should denote British vessel or jus
tify the speed with which the attack
was made. 1t is naively announced
that the submarine commander did
not see the American flag on the
stern until just after giving the order
to FIRE"
This explanation is not calculated
to allay American impatience at the
German note. which. regarding the
sinking of the Gulfight and the at
tack on the Gushing. merely says that
they were unavoidable incidents of
submarine warfare, for which the
German government is sorry and for
which it promises indemniflcation
where the facts justify it" The at
tacks heretofore on neutral ships. says
the note, are Isolated and excep-
tional cases. which are traceable to
the misuse of flags by the British gov
ernment in connection with careless
ness or suspicious actions on the part
OF captains OF the vessels
The acknowledgment that the
American flag was noted at the stern
of the Gulflight after the order to fire
was given is clear indication that the
character of the flag displayed by the
vessel was not factor in the case
The submarine commander saw a
ship which he assumed was British
and fired without noting the flag. The
official explanation of this wanton de-
struction of an American vessel
makes it even less excusable than it
appeared at first and illustrates the
gravity of the danger to which
American shipping is exposed in the
employment of submarines as COM
meroe destroyers.

The War, and After.

The most pregnant sentence uttered
by the President at Arlington yester-
day was this: "Greater days lie be-
fore this nation than it has ever seen
yet"
Where is the American who does
not subscribe to this sentiment? Who
does not rejoice in it, Who is not
willing to aid to the fullest extent OF
his power in so great a causee
And yet the President spoke in the
sight of thousands of graves which
were filled at time of profoundest
gloom for America The hearts of
some of the stoutest friends of free
institutions were cast down. 1t
seemed as if the end approached: as
if. no matter which side won, the
scheme OF the fathers of the republic
would fail.
But it did not fail We came out
OF the protracted struggle inspired
for greater days" than we had ever
known. We found ourselves when
many thought we were lost. We
stood upright for the first time a ma
ton in all that the word expressed
and implied; and we have grown and
strengthened with the years until our
place is now in the front rank
Gloomy as the outlook is today
war raging on scale unprecedented
for violence and destruction-may
not the Presidents words be given a
wider application than he gave them
May it not be said with all safety
that greater days lie before the world
than it has ever seen yet When the
struggle ends-and it must end
shall we not behold the nations of
Europe recover. as we did! 1t may
not be SO rapidly. 1t cannot be in the
way we recovered, because the prob
lem will be different. Ours was a
family row, fierce while it lasted We
fought over practically one question
the right OF the Union TO use force
to preserve its existence. They are
lighting over many questions, all OF
tllCHi 1IuPOl tdHt I!Ou
points Of view.
The pessimist knows no history, or
forgets history The world is not on
the eve OF smash. There has always
been, there is today, there always will
be, tremendous rebound in mankind

pear at times to be going backward
But, by methods not always compre-
hended when in use, they are con-
stantly going forward We rise on
our dead selves to higher things A
working world cannot be kept down.
Fifty years after our travail we are
lusty and full of action. Fifty years
from now Europe may be. is likely
to be. in the flower of peace and
prosperity welcome to all.

A preliminary" Note.

1t is suggested in some quarters
that criticism of the German note
should be suspended because it is
avowedly only preliminary answer
to the American demand for disavow-
al and reparation, designed to elicit
and establish basis of fact for a fu-
ture conclusive reply. 1t is quite true
that the German note is definitely de-
clared to be merely preliminary, but
this point Immediately raises the
question of why it took the govern
ment at Berlin two weeks to prepare
a purely tentative communication.
