A BAD TIME FOR KINGS.

All the world loves a lover, and,
considering all the circumstances in
their lighter, as well as grimmer, as
pAct every one will be inclined to
agree with Prince Charles of Ru-
mania that a loving wife in hand is
worth any throne in prospect In
deed, this is bad time for kings, and
even the Kaiser, who set out gayly to
spawn new group of kinglets for
Finland and the western provinces of
Russia, is not finding his efforts APP
preciated abroad or at home Conse-
uuently. Prince Frederick Charles, OF
Hesse. the Kaiser's brother-in-law
who was wished on" Finland, has
been urged to let the question of the
Finnish throne go for the moment On

The POSTERS AND THE LOAN

when the spellbinders get under
way and the fourth Liberty Loan
campaign starts, what with the pub
Hcity of the pulpit and the platform
and the stage and the exhortations in
the daily prints, it is unlikely there
will be very many left to whom the
Liberty Loan posters WILDE the only
stimulus to which they will react
One, of course. would not underrate
the value of posters, good or bad, or
the insistent visual efficacy of the
billboard. In a way, they are essen
TALLY accessories after the fact, reA
minders of the lesson that is learned
elsewhere; and as calls to duty or
,goads to conscience they need lot Of
pitch and point. Since they inevita-
bly, must have that brevity of de-
sign as well as of legend, which is
true wit, they also need that mys-
FERROUS thing called punch" Criti-
cism of the earlier Liberty Loan post
ers was largely to the effect that they
did not represent the level of artis-
tic poster ability and fell below the
possibilities of the best artists and
illustrators in the country who had
tried their hands with acknowledged
results at this somewhat difficult
sphere of the representative arts.
What the final view will be of the
ten new posters now appearing on
boards and walls may be questioned
though a certain stiffening up in the
matter of idea and design mist be
granted to the series as a whole.
A careful examination of the ten
posters in detail makes one thing
clear, and that is that men who very
often succeed in one form of Illus
tration are not necessarily success
full in a limited field such as that of
the poster.

THE WATSON CASE.

Every county committee to which
Thomas E. Watson appealed has
returned a verdict to the effect that
his charges were unsubstantial and
hat his defeat in the congressional
campaign was honestly and legiti-
,aasely .compllshed by Representa-
tive Carl VU.eon
This, then. leaves him small hope
for success before the state conven-
ton, or before the state Democratic
executive committee, in his effort to
secure authorization for another pri-
mary in the Tenth district.
At this distance from the actual
scene of hostilities, The Times-Re-
corder may, perhaps, have the wrong
perspective, and may see as through
glass darkly, but judging from all
the reports on the hearings before the
various county committees, Watson
has shown absolutely no evidence to
justify a turnover race.
It is inconceivable that Governor
Dorsey has lent himself to a scheme
whereby Mr.. Watson will be enabled
to have another chance at defeating
vinson, and The Times-Recorder
here and now, goes on record as say
ing that it does not believe the gov
ernor of this state, who has hereto
fore proven himself an honorable
gentleman and a man among mer
would enter into any such collision
We do not believe that his rather I'M

At the same time, Watson, like al
