Opposition to Darling.
burlington Clipper

NbuIIIHgtUH OIpptTJ
Strong opposition to the candidacy
of Charles Fl. Darling of Burlington for
governor seems to be developing in
pretty much all quarters of the state.
There is a decided opinion that he
lacks the proper mental perspective to
qualify for an executive position of
this kind. There is no question about
Judge Darling's ability as an analyt-
zeal lawyer and a thorough student of
history and current affairs but he lacks
the broad vision of constructive exec
utive and is devoid of public spirit.
As a personal character he is suave
and affable but has never shown his in
terest in public improvements of any
kind. There is no warmth of feeling
for his candidacy even in his home city

To succeed without encouragement, to
fight for existence and to exist, de-
spite the enemies all about-that is
much. The dusty weed by the road
side, battered by the passing throng,
bruised by the idle feet of men and
cattle, how much more glorious is it
than the delicate flower that has had
every advantage of care. and atten-
ton, and With gives it's blossoms to
the world from beneath a glass-sealed
roof?
The creatures of chance and circum-
stance-there are human beings ans
wering the description. Strong men
who grew by the wayside, who made
their way out Of the darkness into
the light, without encouragement
without the thoughtful ministrations
of others-noble men in every sense
of the word who can be described no
other way than by saying they are
things of chance and circumstance
How nightly the world has been ben

RUSSIA SIMPLY QUITS

tory. This does not mean that Ger.
many will be permanently permitted
to gobble up Russia, bit by bit, OF
that it will be allowed to take advan-
tage of the present crisis to make
commercial arrangements which will
give it monopoly of Russian trade
and resources. The rest of the world
cannot permit Germany to make such
great gains through the war; The Sc
curity of the peace Of the world de-
ponds on making this war a failure
for the nation that really began it
The United States and its associates
will have to insist on evacuation OF
all Russian territory by the Germans
and Austrians and the establishment
of Polish nation, but without any as
sstancc from Russia. This will not
be solely a work of altruism. The
welfare of the world will require that
the real interest of the Russian peo-
pie be cared for, in spite of the re-
creancy of the gang of imbeciles and
mercenaries who got control of pow
er long enough to throw everything
temporarily into German hands. Rus
STA is disgraced forever and her peo-
pie are entitled to little sympathy.
But Russia's map and Russia's future
relations with its neighbours are mat
tiers of great concern to the rest of
the world. That is why the Bolshe-
wiki can really afford to shirk their
duty, with no greater permanent loss
than the respect of mankind. :
The arrangement is of some slight
military advantage to Germany, in
the release of war prisoners, although
these cannot be put in shape for i'm
mediate use and they must be so dis
posed that they cannot actually dis
seminate notions Of liberty among
comrades. But the greatest assist
ance will be economic, although the
desolation of Ukraine will prevent the
getting of large supplies from there at
once. There is doubt as to the guam
tity of food stuffs in other accessible
parts Of Russia. But whatever the
advantages Of the nav development,
all are with Germany. The task of
the United States and its associates is
unquestionably increased, but there
should be no Sinking. Civilization
demands that Germany be whipped

The Times is pleased to present the
name of Judge C. |. Garrett, of Ran
dolph township, as a candidate for the
office of Collector of st. Francois
county, subjectto the action of the
Democratic voters at the August
Nominating Primary. Four years
ago Judge Garrett, who is also known
to his many friends as "Irvin," was
elected Presiding Judge of the Coun-
ty Court, going through in spite of
the Republican landslide that swept
into office every other candidate on the
Republican ticket by an average ma
jority of about $50 votes. He "went
over" by a majority of 161 votes.
This circumstance is fair illustra-
ton of the personal strength and pop
ularity of the man among the people.
The manner in which the business of
the county has been handled under
his administration goes to show that
the people made no mistake in choos-
ing him for the important work that
falls on the shoulders of the Presid-
ing Judge Of the County Court. If
there has been any dissatisfaction
with his work in this present position
it has been kept we'll under cover,
though this is the first public office
he has ever held. Should he receive the
nomination he now seeks the ticket
will be strengthened thereby.

MORALE IS EVERYTHING

A million American fighting men
must be in France this year, prepared
to strike not later than fall, and by
midsummer if they, can be taken over
sufficiently early to be thoroughly
seasoned and instructed by the earlier
period. 1t is realized that America
must relieve the pressure on the al
lied nations at the earliest possible
date. With this certainty in view, we
must be prepared soon to meet the
shock incident to the news that our
boys have gone in force into the dead
ly breach. Up to that time we must
sustain and cheer them with the
knowledge that we are working and
saving and praying for them, The
morale is everything. Let us do our
part in keeping it intact.-Fort Smith

Classification Practically Finished
By Local Board.
The Board finished the classified
ton with the exception of a few now
being held for additional information.
There are with the District Board at
this time about $50 cases. These of
course cannot be finally classified UNI
til the action of the District Board is
known. We hope to have all these
papers in this week and to get the
registrants finally classified by the
first of next month. The Local Board
is under orders to examine all regis

the examination will continue until
all in class one have been examined.
So far the Board has no orders to ex-
