PROF. M'KILLOP RESIGNS
HIS HIGH SCHOOL POSITION
Leaves Today for France to Enter
Y. NJ. &. A. Work. Mrs. Gard
ner Temporary Successor

Last Friday Professor j. r. Nc
killop was brought. into relation with
war methods as he received peremp-
tory orders to report in New York
for service by April 2S.
He had already undergone a phys
ical examination for service and had
looked forward to finishing the pres
ent school term, but these orders
compelled an earlier departure and
he leaves today connecting with
Number 20 at Hazen.
II is generally conceded that the
High school suffers a distinct loss
in parting with Professor McKillop
and many expressions of this tenor
have been received by him since the
announcement of his resignation.
Last Sunday evening there was
held a meeting in the First Baptist
Church in the nature of a compli-
mentary farewell to him In which
both the Baptist and Methodist
Episcopal churches united and pres
ent in an audiences that completely
filled the church were members of
the High school faculty and a num-
her of personal friends of the pro-
fessor.
Special music for the occasion was
prepared by Mr.. w. x. Davis and
following appropriate remarks by
Rev. NJ. w. Coates Professor McKil-
lop made a brief address bearing
upon conditions that led to the war
and concluded with expressions of
thanks to the officials OF the High
school board and to the citizens of
Falion for the cordiality extended
both to himself and Mrs. Mekillop
during their stay here
His successor has not yet been de-
cided upon but for the balance of
this term. Mrs. G. M. Gardner vii
occupy the position of Acting Prin-
oipal ard the clerk of the board will
perform the many duties of eleri-
cal nature that devolved upon the
principal.
Professor McKillop does not yet
know what duties win be assigned
im and this information will not be
impaired until his arrival in France
where the Supervising Secretary
m kes such assignments.
Il will be, however, In connection
With some branch of the Y. NJ. c. A.
work either in the educational or
amusement departments.
His forwarding address will be
number IL Rue D'Aguesseau, Paris,
France.
Mrs. McKillop and family accom-
pany him to Hazen where they will
take No. 10 for Newburg, Oregon,
where they will live near immediate
relatives of Mrs. McKillop.
Yesterday the ladies of the First
baptist Church met at the home of
Mrs. Wayne Young and from there
left in a body for the home of Mr..
and Mrs. McKillop where they pre-
sented Mrs. McKillop with a gold
service pin. Mrs. Coates making the
presentation address. which was
feelingly responded to by the re-
cipient.

MANAGER NACKAY RESIGNS
FROM WINCf|ELD INTERESTS

Affairs and Will be Missed

Reay Mackay has rendered hi
resignation as manager of the Wing

Mr.. Mckay, in explanation of this
unexpected move, states that since

himself seriously handicapped In the
prosecution of his multifarious duties
and feels that he needs rest and
time to recuperate.
No announcement has been made

Mackay states that he will remain

to blood poisoning has heretofore
acted as bar to enlistment In the U.
S. forces. and now he purposes to
try to get in the English service
through the Canadian forces. While
admitting that his hand units him

HOW THE STATES HAVE
met CALL FOR RECRUITS

secuonally, the Western States
lead in the recruitment in ratio to
their uotas.
The eight states which have not
enlisted their quotas are: Arkansas,
Louisiana, Mississippi, North Caro-
Ina. South Carolina, Virginia, YER
mont. and Wisconsin. Maryland,
New Mexico. North Dakota, West
Virginia, Deleware, Georgia, Ken
taeky and Maine supplied just a few
more than their allotted quotas.
Pennsylvania ami New York have
supplied the most recruits each being
credited with over $4,000 men.
Nevada, with a quota of 1872, LED
IL the states by supplying nine and
one-half times the number of re
eruits called for. Wyoming and
Utah followed, with about six times
their quotas Iowa. Idaho, Wash
ington, Nebraska, Oregon and New
York gave about four times their
quotas. California. Illinois, Indiana,
Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Mas
sachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey.
Ohio. Oklahoma. Rhode Island,
South Dakota and New Hampshire,
supplied about three times their al
lotment.
The quota of the District of Colum-
bia was 662 and its total recruit
ment 1,465, being an excess of sos.
II is difficult to understand why
the southern states are not standing
by the President by enlisting. The
discrepancy is so notable that il can
not escape critical comment 1t is
also notable that there are only
three Stacker Western states.

against out present war plans as rec
commended by the president cannot
come back to congress, while, on the
other hand, he cannot make amp cap
ital out of his democratic opponents
because he has acted just as they did.
Therefore, as far as issues are con-
cerned, it will be seen that there
will be none this year, certainly of a
notional kind. There may be, in few
cases, certain local influences which
may change a democrat for repbli-
can, but they will be less than the

This is not the year for the repub-
licans to win the house, no matter
how much wind-jamming may be done
in hte effort. President Wilson has
recommended from time to time such
war plans as have brought out the sup
port of not only democrats but the big
part of the republican forces alike,
making while doing so a position
which will permit the democrats to
hold the house and which will cause
the republicans to fight a losing game.

WASHINGTON, March IL. AL
though the house members of the G.

their winning in this summers cleo
tions and wrestling control from the
democrats, is is very much the case

Washington. Democrats, to read
these ready made party obituaries,
would believe that it was all over but
the tolling of the bells. They would
go further and even picture their own
demise, except for one thing-what
they hear is not true, and Woodrow
Wilson is the big stumbling block
who will as certain as the day is long
keep the democrats right where they
are.
The reasons which will prevent re-
publican control of the next-the sixty
sixth congress-are not difficult to
grasp. With the United States at war,
there are but handful of men in con-
gress who have the temerity to op-
pose the administrations plan. There
are La Toilette and the junior sena
tor from Georgia, and few area
dozen or less in all, of that stripe
hut they are in small majority that
they would count for nothing in the
firal calculation. Leaving them aside,
the rank and file of congress dare not
oppose the administration war plan
for the very good reason that while
none of us wanted war, we are in it
and must make the most of it.
Republicans who used to be loud
mouthed and savage in their attacks
on the democrats and everything of
democratic kind before the war began.
and who would haggle over the small
est point which would cause an issue
to be made, are now going their way,
meek as the proverbial lamb and vot-

and everything of the kind has for the
pr esent gone There is little spirit in
the present legislation.
Where, therefore are the republicans
who say they will get control of the
house to get their material when they
take the stump this summer. They
cannot except the isolated cases, pro-
claim that they are opposed to the
war; that idea has long been vanished.
They cannot say that the democrats
have bad record for theft the repub-
licans themselves, have Loyalty in al
