H. T. Hagaman, editor of the Lake
wood Citizen, has announced himself
a candidate for the republican nomin-
alton for Assembly from Ocean coun-
ty. The editor of The Pleasantville
Press has known Mr. Hagaman for a
number of years, having had consider
able business dealings with him. He
is capable, honest, fearless, and
should he be successful he will be an
honor to the county which honors him.
The legislature needs more men of
Harry Hagaman's type. Ocean coun-
ty should make his nomination and
election unanimous. We hope they
will do So.

THE SPIRIT OF THEN AND NOW.

When war with Spain was declared
in 1898 thousands of young men left
their employment and went to the
front in defense of their country.
When the war was owe these young
soldiers returned home and in a ma
jority of cases found their jobs filled
by other people and themselves out of
employment and without prospects for
the future. Such was the reward of
valor in 1898.
Today thousands of the principal
business institutions of the country
are announcing that all members of
the National Guard who have re-
sponded to the presidents call will
not only find their jobs waiting for
them on their return but will have
their full salaries paid to their fami-
lies during their absence. Such is the
spirit of 1916.
A little reflection should convince
the most skeptical that not all of the
patriotism of this country flows in
the veins of the man with a gun. The
civilian has his duty to perform, and
he, too, performs it as the man he is.
The one grasps his gun and goes
out to fight the battles of his country,
while the other supplies the sinews of
war with which to fight.
1t is a combination of valor and fl
deity which in time should prove in

SWEEP OUT THE FILTH.

When a house floor is covered with
filth all decent and self respecting
people get a broom and commence to
sweep.
Mexico is the house floor today and
the United States is the mar with
the broom. 1t is time to sweep.
For five years anarchy has been
prevailing in that country, and for
five years each day has seen the pre-
vailing conditions just a little worse
than the day before. 1t has been a
~retrograde movement since the day
President Diaz fled to France.
Today we are witnessing the as
sembling of a new army of nearly a
hundred thousand men, called to the
colors because the president deems it
wise to sweep the dirty Mexican floor.
This movement of the troops to the
Mexican border may be but the pre-
lude to a general war with Mexico.
If such it is to be, then the American
dTUly SlOulu IOC Uc WlIIluIdWl ullIll
every vestige of filth has been swept
from the republic to Jul south and a
land once fair shall have been made
over into a place of habitation for ra-
tional human beings.
1t is not a pleasant task to under
take, but it seems to be a burden
placed upon the shoulders of the Am
erican people. 1t will be accomplish
ed without fuss or feathers or buster
or blow-accomplished as the people
perform their routine duties of life,
for such is the American spirit.
The Stars and Stripes should be re-
spected wherever and whenever they
are unfurled. Let US see that it is so.

With wal confronting Is in Mexico,
and the possibility of the ultimate
entry of Japan into the fray, we can
not afford as a nation to have party
hatred and personal animosity inject
ed into the campaign. We have need
of every n of patriotism we can
call into being if we are to escape
even a portion of the horrors of the
war across the water.
1t is right that every American
citizen should exercise his right to
vote his own sentiments at the polls
in November, but let US remain
friends and brothers and united citi-
zens while SO doing.
For once at least in its history the
people and candidates of the United
States should conduct a national cam
paign without STOPPING to personal
v%illifcation and abuse.
While voting in accordance with our
inalienable right to free thought and
franchise, we should remember that
our neighbor of the other political
faith has the same right to his views,
and they should be voiced at the polls
without bias or prejudice from either
source.
Make it a campaign of gentlemen,
between gentlemen, and for gentle
men, and we will all be better gentle
men when the vote is announced.

Gen. Petain, Defender of
Verdun, Is Active AS
Youngest Lieutenant.

Paris, March 24.-General Henri
Petain, the defender of Verdun, is typ
icaI of the modern French soldier. He
is just sixty. He received his com
mission as second lieutenant in 1873,
and became a, captain in 1890, and q.
colonel in 1900. He was a colonel
when the war began and was going to
retire.
General Petain first distinguished
himself during the retreat from Char
1erot in the early days of the war. He
became brigadier-general and general
of division. and rose rapidly to his
present position.
He is a curiously modest man and
hates being photographed. He is i'm
mense1y popular with his men whom
he treats as though they were his own
children. General Petain is very
methodical and weighs his food every
day, saying that it is as necessary forl
officers to be in perfect condition asi
for race horses. Keeping in condi-i
ton is his pet mania. He was turned
out Of fat which he occupied once
because he insisted on taking half an
hours exercise with a skipping rope
after his bath every morning.
The result is that General Petain at
sixty is as active as the youngest lieu
tenant in the French army. Quite re-
Gently in Champagne he covered four
n111eS at the oOuDlet quick at the nSdO
of a company, and he prides himself
on the ease with which he undergoest
the same hardships and the same hard
work as any man with him.
The General does. not believe much
in red tape, always wanting to get
the most work done in the quickest
way. To an officer who asked him to
give him a post on the staff, General
Petain said, Laughing: ''I dent need
staff officers. The men want are
fellows who can win three-mile races
afoot and ride motorcycles over rough
ground" There is a legend in the
Verdun army that General F3etain liv-
ed and slept on the carriage Of a ma
chine gun during the first ten days OF
the German offensive late last Feb
ruary.
