FARM JOURNAL ENDORSES J w.
EORDNEY.

The stress of wartime conditions
have brought to the front many new
men and proven the continuing virility
o. American manhood and womanhood
and that America can still furnish
great leaders to meet any emergency
that may arise which threatens the
liberty of our people, or the people of
sister lands, who desire to live on
Christian principles in the comfy of
nations.
These conditions have also brought
into still greater prominence older
leaders, who have long demonstrated
their fitness for positions of trust and
responsibility and the wisdom of the
people whom they represent and who
continue them in office.
In this latter case is the Hon.
Joseph w. Fordney, Congressman
from the Eighth District of Michigan,
who has held his seat in the national
house of representatives continuously
since 1898. During this long term of
public service Mr.. Fordney's services
to the people of the district and the
nation have become increasingly val
liable, as the added years have broad
ened his vision, added to his wonderful
store of information, and increased
his efficiency.
So valuable has Mr.. Fordney be-
come not only to his district, but to
the nation, that he is looked upon at
Washington not merely as Congress
man from Michigan, but as one of the
leaders in the nation. With a broad
grasp of public affairs and world poll
cies he combines an exact knowledge
in some lines probably unequalled by
any other man in public life. Mr..
Fordney's hearers are always forcibly
impressed with his statistical knowl-
edge against which fiimsy specious
argument and misstatements Of facts
fall like n house of cards. When Mr.
Fordney makes a statement and backs
it up with proof from official sources,
it is naturally discomfting to persons
whose arguments rest on statements
unsupported by the facts. This vast
fund of information, drawn on instant
ly at will, makes Mr.. Fordney for
midable adversary.
AS a story teller Mr.. Fordney re-
sembles President Lincoln. Where he
gets all those funny stories, that drive
home a point in his argument and the
same time convulse his hearers is one
of the mysteries that has long puzzled
everyone. He always has good new
story for any point or any situation
and the stories amuse and instruct,
without carrying a sting.
Mr.. Fordney has been the consist
ent friend of the American farmer and
in him the sugar beet growers have

SAGINAW CHAIRMAN
SAYS PURCELL CANDIDATE

The Herald is in receipt of letter
from Thomas B. McDough who signs
himself as chairman of the Saginaw
Democratic Committee and member of
the 9Th District Congressional Com
mittee, stating that the Democrats
of this district have a candidate for
congress in the person of Miles J..
Purcell of Saginaw. On inquiry from
the prominent Democrat who handed
us the article published July %, stat
ing that the Democrats, being unable
to find suitable candidate in their
own party had decided to endorse Hon
]. w. Fordney, the Herald learns it
was not until after this article was
given to the Herald that the leading
Democrats of Gratiot County learned
than any candidate had been put in
the field. On the contrary, the DEM
cratic leaders of this county say that
they were informed by wire from Sag
inaw that there was no prospect Of Sc
curing a candidate acceptable to the
PARTY and on the strength of this
statement from a responsible source
they made this announcement. Graf

Emory Townsend who is running
around the country trying to belittle
Hon. Joseph Fordney, whom the peo-
pie have elected to congress for twen-
ty years, who is recognized as one of
the leaders in congress, who today is
recognized as the best posted man on
the tariff in the United States, who
has done more for sugar beet raisers
than any man in Michigan, who is
with the administration on all i'm
portant questions pertaining to the
war, whose reputation as a citizen
erd business man is beyond reproach,
neglects to give any of his own quail
fications. We are unable to learn
from his political record where his
fitness for such an important office
justifies the voters to make change.
Our advice to the voters of this dis
trict is to vote for Fordney and keep
a man in congress who is recognized
factor and credit to our state and
nation. Townsend has one of w. J.

FOOD ADMINISTRATOR GEO. A
PRESCOTT SAYS TODAY:

eve have the task of maintaining
the men in that living line made up of
soldiers and the people back of that
line. We must not run any risk There
must be no narrow margins. We must
see that there is plenty of food over
there, so that no matter what hap
pens to the shipping in any one month,
they are safe. Then we have the
chance to win the war and make good.
"The food program is a fighting
program. We here in this country
have the education, we have the
brains, we have the loyalty. We must
live up to our privilege of backing
Up our splendid men who represent US
in the army and navy. Let each of
US live so each day that when our boys
come back from France we can look
them in the eye and say: Il did my
share and all that could do at
home.'"

always had a valiant champion for
their interests. To his efforts is
largely due the extension of the
American beet sugar industry and the
prosperity of large sections in which
the sugar beet has been and is lead
ing and profitable crop. What the
sugar beet has been and is, as a fac
tor in Michigan's agricultural pros
perity and progress, is too well known
to need further mention.
While many men, after attaining a
competency of worldly goods, would
have retired from activity and en-
joyed leisure, Mr.. Fordney has always
held to the idea of service. His whole
public life has been one of service to
the people of the Michigan Eighth
Congressional District, to his state,
and to the nation. When men of this
character are willing to continue to
serve it is well that they be continued
in Office. Mr.. Fordney is still active,
with many years of honor and use
fulness before him and there seems
but little doubt that his services will
be continued in Office until, as is pos
sible, he may be honored with still
greater and higher responsibilities.
In this crucial period in the nations
history men tried, true and able, are
essential and, without disparagement
to any other candidate, Lincoln's adj
vice about swapping horses while
crossing bridge may be most timely.

AN UNPATRIOTIC PACIFIST

If any additional reason is needed
for the rejection of Henry Ford other
than the fact that he is neither a Re-
publican nor Protectionist, the fol-
low, from the New York Herald, of
August 10, will supply the lack:
"The President is performing his
duty as leader of his party when he
tells Democrats of the Ninth Alaba-
ma district that the record of Rep
resentative Huddleston shows him to
have been in every way an opponent
of the administration Careful
scrutiny of Mr.. Huddleston's record,
however, fails to disclose his ever
having said: 4 don't believe in the
flag; it is only something to rally
around; when the war is over those
flags will come down, never to go up
again. If Colonel Harvey's War
Weekly is accurate, that statement
was made by Mr.. Henry Ford in 1916
and was reiterated by Mr.. Ford less
than three months ago! A Senator
from Michigan is Senator of the
United States. Can the President of
the United States afford to give the
support of his high office, or of his
home on North Shiawassee street
party leadership, to an aspirant for
the United States Senate guilty of
such an utterance as that attributed
to Mr.. Ford? ?"
1t is fair inference that President
Wilson attaches little Importance to

long as he can be relied upon to sup
port the Free-Trade of the administra-
ton. Michigan Protectionists and pa
triots will attend to the Ford case

THE SUGAR CAMPAIGN
MUST BE CARRIED ON
(By Geo. A. Prescott, u. S. Food AID
Illustrator for Michigan.)

Illustrator Tor Mlchlgan.)
The sugar campaign comes on us
suddenly. Revised accounts of losses
and resources and new statement of
needs which we are in honor bound to
meet compel sharp change in pro-
gram. We must act quickly-What
is not well begun in the next six weeks
will not be done at all.
The success of this program rests
on the honor and cooperation of the
American people. What are they
doing now? We hear of people going
from store to store, trying to double
their portion over and over. They
don't realize they are trying to beat
the game. That is failure of the pro-
gram.
How was it in the wheat campaign?
People everywhere vieing with one
another in zeal to play the game. That
was success.
Our success in the wheat campaign
literally held the allies together
through the spring and summer. 1t
did more than any other thing to give
them comfort and courage until the
tide turned last month. 1t did more
than any other performance of our to
establish American credit until the
splendid part our troops took in the
second Marine battle.
Again we are called upon to share
with those who sit at the common Ia
BILE. 1t is a challenge of war con-
ditions to our humanity, our chivalry
and our worth. This time we are re-
quired not to employ a substitute for
necessary food, but to give up an in
diligence.
Shall we succeed? Ask yourselves,
would we do it if it was to share with
sick family next door instead of
stricken neighbors across the sea?
We can if we will. We will if we
realize. But the time is short. The
background of the wheat campaign
was six months building, but the SUI
gar campaign must be put through in,
six weeks or fail. 1t is the second
large test of the twelve million Food
Administration membership. They
look to you-they trust you.
We claim the right to share with
the allies. Let us give Mr.. Hoover,
now sitting in the allied food council,
fresh warrant to assure the nations
that America will make good. Let
us send by every ship substantial tok-
ems of support to our boys over there
from an America worth dying for.
The Food Administration appeals
with confidence to you.

GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY

Frederick Wilhelm Nietzche was
one of the most noted of modern Ger
man philosophers. How much has his
philosophy affected the views and
character of the Germans of today?
Is not the answer written in the blood
of the women and children. the old
men of occupied France and Belgium ?
Are not the Lusitania victims witness
es to German adoption of Nietzche's
faith?
Here is his indictment of Christian
ity:
"With this I conclude, and pro-
nounce my sentence: I condemn
Christianity. To me it is the great
est of all imaginable corruptions. The
church is the great parasite; with it's
anemic idea Of holiness it drains life
Of all its strength, its love, and its
hope. The other world is the motive
for the denial of every reality. I call
Christianity the one great curse, the
one instinct of revenge, for which no
expedient is sufficiently poisonous, Sc
cret, underhand, to gain it's ends. I
call it the one immortal shame and
blemish upon the human race"
