10 which the Entente stands committed
and which provides for the union of
Serbia and Montenegro after the war
under the seeptre Of the Serbian Regent,
Crown Prince Alexander, one Of the most
gallant and heroic figures Of the present
war and Of the two preceding Balkan
campaigns.
President Wilson has given a pledge to
the world that in determining future con.
ditiOns after the restoration Of peace the
wishes Of those nations embroiled in the
present war shall be consulted in the
choice Of their rulers and of their form Of
government, and that no races, least OF all
those who have fought on our side in this
titanic conflict Of the last four years, shall
be subjected to the sway Of any ruler or
dynasty, native or alien, against their
will.
The Serbs of Serbia and of Austria
Hungary, as well as the /Montenegrins,
who are to all intents and purposes Serbs,
have already intimated in no uncertain
fashion their desire to be united as
Jugo-Slav nation under the sovereignty
of Crown. Prince Alexander Of Serbia,
who is, through his mother, a grandson
Of Nicholas. The Montenegrins indeed
look upon him and take pride in him as
one Of their own race. They are brave
people, who have not only harassed the
Austrian invaders of their native land
without cessation, but have also rendered
valuable service on the Entente front in
France. But they viii have nothing
more to do with their old King, who
celebrates his seyenty-seventh birthday
on Tuesday next, or with his disreputable
sons, whom they accuse of having be-
trayed their country TO the enemy.
Never VIII Forgive the King.
Patriotic Montenegrins will never for
give King Nicholas for the manner IN
which he negotiated secretly for peace
with the Central Powers, both through
his eldest son, Crown Prince Danilo, and
directly with Emperor Francis Joseph
several weeks before his final surrender
took place, nor will they forgive his sur
render Of Loveen, the sacred mountain
of the Montenegrins, surmomted by for

ing than the Kaiser in the instincts and
ethics of gentleman. Ferdinand in spite
Of all this invited himself in the role Of
kinsman and friend TO the obsequies Of
the late King, exciting general indigna-
ton in London by his callous attitude
and by his unsecmly mirth and NANTES
tations of impotence at the state funeral
Leo XIII. remains on record as the
most sagacious and worldly wise Pope Of
modern times. Yet he literally drove
Ferdinand from his presence at the close
Of an audience which he had reluctantly
granted to him at the Vatican, and then
personally accommodated him for vio-
lation of oaths taken on the Gospels and
for other crimes against both common law
and religion.
Quickly Went Back on His Word.
Within six hours after voluntarily Civ
ing his personal word to Emperor Alex
ander Ill, by wire, and verbally to Prince
Lobanoff, the Russian Ambassador at
Vienna, that he would under no circum-.
stances accept the Bulgarian throne, he
left for Sofia to take possession thereof,
driving indeed straight from the Museo-
vite embassy to the railroad terminus. In
the same way he broke his plighted word
to his father-in-law, the late Robert Of
Bourbon, last sovereign Duke of Parma,
to Emperor Francis Joseph, to Sultan
Abdul Hamid, to King George Of Greece,
to King Peter Of Servia, and even to the
Kaiser, who at one time forbade his Min
ister at Sofia to hold any communication
with Ferdinand, or even to salute him in
the street. .-
He showed the basest ingratitude to his
first Premier, Stambouloff, and is general
ly believed TO have instigated his murder
at the very gates of the royal palace. In
deed for long time the widow preserved
in black velvet and glass frame the hands
Of her husband, which had been severed
by the knives of the assassins when he
raised his arms to shield his head. There
was an inscription on the frame to the
effect that he had been murdered by or
ders Of Ferdinand.
Another King who assuredly will never
be permitted to reign again is Nicholas
of Montenegro, who in spite Of his hay-
ing been living for the past two years or
more in France, wholly dependent upon
the hospitality Of the French Government
for his maintenance, has recently been
discovered TO be giving not alone eneour-
agement, but even-a portion Of the money
which he received from the French Treas
ury to the publication of paper edited
in Switzerland by Austrian subjects and
circulated through Austrian agencies in
the southern provinces Of the Dual EN-

have been carrying on q guerrilla warfare
against the Austrian invaders ever since
under gallant Gen. Yeshovich. Several
thousands of others managed to make
their way to France for service under the
French flag on the French front. Some
1000 others, mostly recruits unarrned
and defeneeless, were taken prisoners by
the Austrians and reduced to barbarous
forms Of slavery.
King Nicholas and his sons were
obliged to TO fee from Montenegro, not
from the enemy, tut from their own peO-
pie, who threatened them with death for
the betrayal of the nation. Prince Mirko
made his way to Vienna, where, living in
luxury on an allowance from the Austrian
Crown, he died of excuses last spring.
King Nicholas sought refuge first in Italy,
where his sOn-in-law, King Victor En-,
manuel, and his daughter, Queen Helen,
showed him a very cold shoulder and de-
elined to offer him any hospitality. He
has been ever since in France, dependent
on French charity, constantly Fostering
the Government for larger allowance In
order to pay for his heavy losses at tho
card table,
Gard Playing Chief Occupation.
For although in his earlier days he
dabbled in literature and thereby at
tracted the attention and encomium Of
William E. Gladstone, his chief occupation
has always been card playing. Indeed
when he still reigned at Cettinje the Rus
sian and Austrian ENJOYS accredited to his
court received special funds to lose to
him at the card table and thus to secure
favor and good viii for their respective
empires.
His eldest son, Crown Prince Danilo,
married TO q German princess, has spent
most Of his time since the beginning OF
the war at Monaco, has never drawn .,
sword or fred a shot in lie defence of.
his country and has long enjoyed q
European reputation as one Of the most
contemplate seions Of any reigning
house. As for Prince Peter, from whom
much was hoped IN his younger days, he
has recently been carrying on In his
fathers behalf the intrigues with Aus
trian and German agents in Switzerland
against the Jugo-Slav agreement for, ..
greater Serbia.
Nicholas has never known either graft
tude or loyalty and until obliged. to aban-
don Cettinje was always playing of his
son-in-law, King Victor Emmanuel, against
Emperor Francis Joseph and the latter
against the Emperor Of Russia for the
sake of money, and on the outbreak Of
the first Balkan war actually held up the
operations Of the entire Balkan League
for four days in order to enable him to
effect coup de bourse with some shady
foreign fnanciers in Paris. Never again

"HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR"

Last week the Bonnie Terre News
printed an editorial, under the above
heading, which apparently attempts
to find some matter of fault with the
administration of President Wilson,
thought just what its object may be
it is difficult to discern from its edi-
torial. 1t attempts to lay stress on
the theory that President Wilson'S at
titude has drawn to his support all the
pacifist-slacker- pro german element
throughout the country. 1t takes
such an absolutely untenable position
in the face of the fact that the Wilson
administration is Loyalty and vigor-
ouslly upheld by every red-blooded
man in the country, regardless of
what may have been their previous
political affiliations. The Times does
not believe that there is soldier,
either in this country or in France,
battling for the liberation of the hum

A SPLENDID TICKET

The Democratic ticket this year is
one of exceptional merit, from the
candidate for United States Senator
down to candidate for Constable of
the various townships, insofar as St.
Francois county is concerned. Each
and every candidate was apparently
picked with especial reference to their
peculiar fitness for the duties that are
supposed to be attended to in the re-
spective Offices for which each is a
candidate. All are splendid gentle
men, worthy of the loyal support of
all voters whose desire it is to see the
laws vigorously enforced.
All the Democratic candidates are
now out among the people, renewing
old friendships, making new friends
and extending their acquaintance
There are absolutely no "weak sis
tiers" in the entire roster, and each
and every one of them IS entitled to
the loyal support of every Democrat
ic voter. Not only Is this true, but
each and every one of them has special
qualifications for the performance Of
the duties of the Office which they
seek to fill. Most of them will prove
to be splendid vote getters, not only
within their own party, but their high
standing as citizens will surely draw
considerable support from those who
have heretofore not been identified
with the Democratic party. All are
confident of election, and the Times
believes it is only a question of what
their majorities will be, in each ant
every case.
