TODD-CLARK

The marriage of Miss Ethel Eliza
Todd and Howard Hinsdale Clark
came as a greater surprise TO the
contracting parties than TO their
friends in spite Of their strenuous
efforts toward secrecy. For good
things as well as murder will out"
They were quietly married at the
home of the bride on Prospect street
on Tuesday morning at $50 o'clock.
The ceremony was performed by
DR.. Benson Howard Roberts, the
brides pastor and close friend Of
the groom. The room was decorated
tastefully in ferns, roses and daisies.
Just before the ceremony the peo-
Pile of Berea were made glad by the
great chimes which pealed out
those matchless melodies, Joy to
the World" and "Blest Be the Tie
that Binds" After the ceremony
a beautiful luncheon was served
after which the young couple left in
an automobile for parts unknown"
except to them.
In spite of the strenuous efforts
OF friends, including the social edi-
tor of The Citizen, we are unable to
announce their future plans def
nitely. After a weeks honeymoon
Mr.. Clark will join his regiment at
o., where he belongs TO
an engineering corps. His regiment
will probably be busy in q short
time, planning the various govern
ment buildings and barracks for the
draft army.
Each OF the happy couple has
many friends here and elsewhere,
and they all join in the most hearty
congratulations, having known OF
the happy romance with pleasure
and hearing of its elimination in
with JOY.

allies. This she has practically &C
complished. Her allies are allies
only in name. Practically they are
vassals. Serbia and Roumania are
in her possession, Macedonia and
Greece either do not wish or do not
dare to resist her. Germany entered
the war with 6s,OOO,OOO people. She
now has practical control OF 10000
900, and can command the resources
OF a corresponding territory oil
Europe.
This purpose explains the vigor
with which she subjugated Serbia
and ROumania rather than push her
conquest in France and Russia. II
magnifles the mistake Of Roumania
in entering the war into a colossal
blunder for the entente. II explains
why, in stating the terms of peace
last year, the German Chancellor
left the Balkan situation TO be dis
cussed later, as though IL were a
comparatively trivial matter to be
easily adjusted, while in reality il
was to Germany Of the most vital
importance. t-,'''--- '~si.
Germany's purpose now is to con-
solidate her gains, paralyze Russia
by force or intrigue, then turn her
attention to England, France, and
Italy, subdue them and become mas
ter Of all Europe. If she succeeds
in this, how long will she wait be-
fore settling her score with the
United States and realizing her
dream of world domination? The
only thing that can save the cause
of democracy in the world is the
complete humiliation of Prussian
militarism, and that is possible only
by the most vigorous concerted
action of the champions Of democ-
racy. America must strike, and
strike now, with all her resources
and with all her might.

JOHN holland
For
COUNTY ATTORNEY OF MADISON
COUNTY

Hon. John holland, a prominent
attorney Of the Richmond Bar was in
Berea today and authorized The
Citizen to announce his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
the Office Of County Attorney.
Mr.. holland is well and favorably
known in this as well as in all other
sections Of Madison County.
He first attained prominence as a
teacher apd educator, and while in
that field, gained statewide repu-
tation. While Superintendent Of
the Madison County Schools, he fill
ed that important position with
credit and distinction to himself and
gave universal satisfaction as an
able, painstaking. conscientious and
efficient public servant.
He is a self-made man and has
had TO make his own way in the
world since he was sixteen years
old, at which time his father died,
leaving a widow and five infant
children. As an orphan boy, he
fought the battle against poverty
and hardships and worked his way
through college and graduated at
Central University as one Of the
honor men Of the class, after which
he took the law course in Central
University while teaching in the
Academic Department Of that school.
In 1910 he entered thte active prac-
tice Of the law at Richmond, KY.
and since that time has been en-
ployed in many civil and criminal
cases in our State Courts and in the
Federal Court.
In the practice Of the law he has
shown himself to be a man of
character. ability and high integrity
and as a lawyer, he commands the
respect and confidence of the people
and the very highest esteem Of the
Bench and the Bar. Clear in pre-
sentation, able in oral argument, in
his recent cases before the Ken
lucky Court Of Appeal, he has won
for himself a reputation as an ad-
vocate Of rare ability.
Should he be elected to this i'm
portant Office, we predict that a
strict and just enforcement Of our
penus laws would be accomplished
penal laws would be accomplish
ed by such an administration as he
would be able to give. Moreover,
his experience and legal training
would enable him TO render invalu-
able service in giving proper legal
advice in all fiscal matters and in
all matters relating to proper ex-
penditure Of public funds.
He has many friends and admirers
in this section of the county, and
from all the information which per-
sons acquainted with the general
political situation are able to give a.
this time, we might safely pick him
as a winner. ad-52

A DISTINCTION WITH A
DIFFERENCE

(Cononueo no0 IoOo Ono)
rest Of the world must not allow to
be realized. II would be an unspeak-
able disaster to the human race il
it should succeed.
The triumph of a government Of
the type Of Germany would be dis
aster because the government Is
based on a wrong principle. II sub
jects the individual to the govern
ment while the governments Of Eng
land, France and the United States
make government a means OF ad-
vancing the individual. Do not
think this is a distinction without
a difference. II is vital and far
reaching. II is the same difference
that led the American cOlonists in
1916 to resist King George Of Eng
land who was trying TO restore that
worn out doctrine. II is the differ
ence that led so many millions Of
Germany's best population TO leave
the fatherland and come to the
shores of America. II is a difference
which every real man feels even
when he cannot always explain tho
reason.
Lincoln once said Of America, that
it could not permanently exist half
slave and half free; and President
Wilson, with a statesmanlike grasp
of the situation, has said, "the world
cannot permanently exist half dem
ocratic and half autocratic.' There
was no call TO enter the lists against
Germany until 1t became clear what
she was trying to do and what it
would mean TO the human race. We
are in the war and we ought to be
at the front that the whole world
may not go backward 10 autocracy
but may advance forward TO democ-
racy. That the destinies Of millions
may not be dictated by a few but
that the people may manage their
own affairs in all the world.
Right here in Berea there are
many today who do not see much
difference and would. apparently,
about as leave fight on the German
side as our own. Let US awake.

MISSOURI PACIFIC
 10 PREVENT WASTE
GENERAL MANAGER MURPHY WOULD STOP LEAKAGE OF CARS AND ROUGH HAND
 LING OF SUPPLIES.

One of the most common sense let ters ever sent out by a railroad off cial is that mailed to all employees Gf the Missouri Pacific Railroad by Gen eral Manager J. F. Murphy. As such large portion of Arkansas is served by this railroad, the efforts of the offi- cials to conserve the food supply by more careful handling will be highly appreciated.
 The letter written by General Man ager Murphy is as follows:
 To All Officers and Employes:
 The President of the United States has stated that one of the most inn perative duties of the country in the present crisis is to increase the pro- duction and conserve the consumption of it's food stuffs. The Department of Agriculture has announced that this years crop of winter wheat will fall far short of last years, which was a short crop, and that a food crisis is upon us.
 The food supply of the nation is committed to the care of the railroads for transportation, and each employe should bear in mind that he can per form no duty more patriotic at the persent time than to make every ef- fort to see that the shipments in tine transportation of which he has hand, are handled without loss or damage. Every sack of four that is damaged by rough handling, or im- proper preparation of the car, every bushel of wheat that is lost by defec. tive equipment, every shipment or perishable goods that is spoiled by delay, improper refrigeration or ven tilation, every animal that is killed on the right-of-way, and every pound shrinkage caused by stock being de- layed or injured by rough handling hamper our country in it's effort to conserve it's resources during this in ternational conflict.
 Therefore it Is our patriotic duty to serve our country by carefully handling all freight committed to our care for transportation.
 Yours truly.
 J. F. Murphy,
 General Manager.
