The Governor of Missouri hon
ored Hon. Champ Clark, Speaker
of the House of Representatives,
with the appointment of U. S.
Senator to succeed Senator Stone,
who recently died; but Mr.. Clark
declined the appointment, be-
cause his services to the country

true patriot and will not allow

The Monticellonian., 1918-05-03

AS this cruel war progresses
more hearts are saddened, more
homes made desolate. One year
ago only a few of us were
brought face to face with the
stern realities that war existed,
but today the whole country is
realizing it. A year ago, only
here and there a brave boy left
his happy home and the dear
ones that he loved, and ones who
loved him, and cast his lot with
the soldier defenders of liberty;
but to-day there are few homes
which have not been touched by
the increasing demand for more
men; and, from the present out
look, it will not be long until
there will be vacant seats around
every fireside, and more hearts
made to bleed for the absence
and apprehension of the dear
ones gone to the front. 1t is, in
deed, a solemn and sad time
through which we are passing,
and the sole cause was brought
about by the unholy ambition of
the German Government, a de-
sire to dominate the world and
to overload mankind. That this
powerful monster has to be de-
stroyed in order that the world
may be free is why our boys are
to-day in a foreign land, offering
their lives on the CORY field of
battle. The giving up of our
sons and brothers for a grand
and glorious achievement, is
much to us, but it is not enough.
We must make other sacrifices
in order that they may be
properly maintained and cared
for while fighting our battles for
us. We should deny ourselves
of all the luXuries, and even use
the greatest economy in necessi-
ties. rather than one of them
should suffer for food or cloth
ing, or medicine or nursing. 1t
is incumbent upon every true
American citizen, now, to do all
in his power to aid in putting an
end to the war in the way that
it should be and must be ended,
and that is by the everlasting
overthrow of Germanism. The
more we do the sooner the de-
sired end will be reached.
