GET OUT AND NOTE.

The fact that the country is at war should increase rather thar decrease the interest which is manifested in elections. IL is a time when ,re best men. the men of experience and those whose loyalty and ability are unques- toned. should be chosen to Cfiice. The men who have been named by the re- publicans possess every qualification.
 Congressman Freeman has shown that he stands not only for the best interests Of all sections of the second Congressional district but that he has stood firmly in behalf of the best in terests Of the nation Gurn. times of peace and since the opening of the var. He has backed the administra- tion regardless of partisanship in the important war measures and he can fe relied upon to maintain such an R.titude in the future. With him the nation and district are placed above party.
 4 It is the same loyal and active sup pert of war needs which has been eiven by Governor Holcomb. This has been recognized in public speech by Thomas N. Waller, ex-democratic Governor. by Homer Cummings. chair man of the democratic national com nittee. while it cannot fail of recog- hilton by democrats and republicans hike throughout the state. regardless 3f misrepresentatlons
 And when it comes to selecting men for the next state legislature it Is in- .umbent upon the voters to see that the right selection is made The re- Fponsibility rests upon them as to the kind Of representation which will be secured in both branches and due rec osnition should be given 10 the as- surance which is furnished by the can didacies of Albert J. Bailey for sena- tor and George F. Fellows ana Charles W. Burton for representatives
 it Is important to the interests oi the nation and tho state that the re. publican candidates should be elected That they will be chosen if the voters get out and do their duty ir Is no questioned, but it should be remem bered that 1t is no time to stay a home an1 leave it to others.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Advancing Against a Hurrtcane of
 German Fire.

(Correspondence of Tie Associated Press)
 To advance seven miles against a hurricane of German fire. machine gun bullets and big shells, is not all glory and exhilia ration even foN a United States Marine. This is disclosed in a series of vivid pen pictures of the tre- mendous fighting in which those Marue salient written hy Major Rob ert L. Denig. of the Maj ines, to his wife in Philadelphia.
 Major Denig and his battalion took part in the great allied counter attack on the Marna salient. July IS that started the Hun backward toward Germany a-1 began the disintegra- = ton of the German western front In that fight the Marines covered them selves with glory but at terrible cost in killed and wounded The ma jor's letter affords an opportunity to sec the fight through the eyes of a man who took part in it.
 'To picture a fight" he writes, ''mix up a tot of hungry. dirty, tired and bloody men with dust noise and smoke. Forget the clean swords prancing horses and Tapping flags. Al night gas filled woods, falling trees and bright, blindIng flashes, you cant see your neiyhibor. that is war. In the rear it is all confusion.

LirrlE THOUGHT FOR PUBLIC.

Just how fnuth consideration the dear public gets and what is likely to happen when it is disregarded is pret- tF clearly shown by inc frightful rail- way accident wEich occurred in New York city where upward of a hundred lives were lost when a car of an elee- tric train jumped the track and crash ed into a concrete support resulting in the smashing of several cars with the killing and maiming of the occupants.
 It was a case where the company had been ordered by the war labor board to reingtate a score of men who had been discharged for joining a union. The company refused to abide by the decision with the result that the employees went on a strike and it became necessary in order to provide the transportation service to employ men who were not skilled in he work or acquainted with the line over which the train was running. In charge of this particular train was n green n1otorrnan, an emplcye or the road in another capacity, who was di- rected to take up this work in order to counteract the effect of the strike
 None too thorough can be the in- vestigation which has already been instituted. There can be no question but what the order of the war labor board should have been given the same consideration by the company before the accident that it has receiv- ed since and the men reinstated. Such would have stopped the strike and un- doubtedly have prevented the accident. But to have appealed to the board for the enforcement of it's order instead of calling a strike would likewise have accomplished the same thing and ob- viated the calling in of green men. The fact of the matter is that the public who was being served failed 10 get the proper consideration.

Then came the night of the wed- ding, everybody hystericaI as usual

 They waited same time. The distract

 'The fatal blow had been struck by
 Friend Harvey from Minnesota. He had ordered new dress suit from a Chicago tailor on a previous trip and it had it's final fitting the day before On his arrival. It was the sort of
 dress suit the owner dreams about. "The suit was sent ho'ae in time and at 7.90 Harvey jumpeG into it. At | least part way and then through force of circumstances he stopped.
