SERIOUS DAYS THESE

A feeling of depression and
sadness spread over the land
last Sunday and Monday when
the news flashed over the coun-
try that the great German
Drive on the western front was
on in it's full fury, and that the
Allies line of defense had been
forced back. People everywhere
read the startling headlines
with solemn faces and CONVEX
sed in hushed voices. The de-
preston however was only tenn
porary. People then began to
realize that the drive was what
had been anticipated for months
They realized that it had long
been conceded by military ex-
perts that if the maximum
power of the Central Empir 2
should be massed against the
Allied forces in France, that
line must bend temporarily; but
they had confidence that the
apparent success of the enemy
was only temporary, and that
the Allied line would hold. But
greater than all this, the Ameri-
can people were brought to, .
realization as never before Of
the strength of the enemy and
the seriousness of the hour. 1t
brought home to us all the
necessity for greater loyalty,
greater sacrifice and greater de
termination to win. 1t is indeed
a serious hour, and no man can
at this time foretell the result
Of the immediate situation.
Rivers of blood now run across
the battle Scared area of
France, and the war problem
overshadows all else now. We
must hope and pray for the best.
We must make a firm resolution
right now that we will give,
give and continue to give: that
we will sacrifice everything if
need be-: that we will do every
thing we may be asked to do,
and that it is enough for us to
know that it is necessary to
support and back up our brave
boys in that great and desper-
ate struggle across the sea.

TOWNSHIP ELECTION

Next Monday, April LIST, is
the annual township meeting
and election day. Not in many
years has so little election talk
and excitement preceded the an
nual township election and were
it not for the personal campaign
some of the candidates are wag-
ing, it would be difficult to be-
lieve that an election was at
hand. AS heretofore suggested
in these columns, this is not the
year for much politics. Can
didates will be numerous, but
people will absolutely refuse to
get excited or nervous. The
war is the all absorbing topic of
interest and discussion, and will
continue to be so until peace
again reigns over the earth.
While this condition prevails,
and cannot be changed, no mat
ter what may be the issue,
every citizen must be mindful
of his duty to himself and his
country on every question which
involves the franchise. While
no one is excited, and very little
interest is manifested in the
election next Monday, it is high
ly important that every voter go
to the polls on that day to vote.
The safety as well as the great
ness of a republic lies in the
ballot, and while the election
next Monday is purely local, it
is just as important as a county,
state or national election, and

In other words if it were pos
sible for every person to see a
proposition from the other fell
lows standpoint, many heart
aches could be spared; many
many serious misunderstand-
ings averted and the world
made happier, better and more
contented.
Whenever a difference of
opinion or misunderstanding
arises between two people, it is
human nature for each one to
look at it from his own selfish,
narrow and obstinate viewpoint,
forgetting entirely that the
other fellow sees it from an en-
tirely different angle. Each
overlooks the fact that the
other fellow is as nearly correct
in his contention from his point
of view, as he is from the way
he looks at it. A difference of
opinion of this kind, augmented
by a little temper, mixed with
sprinkling of selfish obstinacy
oftentimes makes a gulf be-
tween friends that is hard to
bridge, whereas both parties to
the controversy may be absolute
ly correct from his own view
point. A failure to recognize in
others the absolute right to any
set opinions they may have on a
question, is wrong, and the re-
suit of such an attitude is often
far reaching in it's effects.
How necessary it is then to
the happiness of mankind, that
the spirit of tolerance and a
Difference to the rights of others
be inculcated in the minds of
the youth. How necessary it
is that each individual should
school and train himself to an
even temper, his mind always
open to the rights and opinions
OF others. No one yet has ever
reached a state of infallibility.
1t is easy to see the faults Of
others, but not so easy to real
ize our own shortcomings.
To look at a problem from the
other fellows standpoint, and to
"see ourselves as others see us" !,
would be a state of perfection
in the human mind, and a goal
worth striving for.

the voter who refuses to go to
the polls and vote the ticket of
his choice and utilization, fails
in his full duty to himself and
to his country.
The True Northeiner does not
deem it duty to go into detail
in regard to the various candi-
dates. Two tickets are in the
field for township ofiicers,-Re-
publican and Democrat. The
nominees on both tickets are all
well know to every voter in Paw
Paw township. One would not
be fair to himself and to his
fellowmen, if he did not say
that the duties of the respect
ives offices would be well admin
istered no matter which ticket
should be elected. The cam
didates were nominated in regu-
lar caucus of their party and
the nominees on both tickets
have the right to expect the
full vote of the party that placed
them in nomination. 1t is be-
lieved to be absolutely necessary
for the welfare of this nation
that there should be two great
parties. Nearly every citizen
of the land affiliates with one or
the other of these great parties,
because he believes in the prin-
ciples promulgated by that party.
These two parties in Paw Paw
township have selected the can
didates for the various offices,
and it would be unjust and UNI
fair to these men for members
of their party to oppose them at
the polls. Some objection might
be found with this theory, if by
some "hook or crook" some in
efficient man had secured a NOM
ination on either ticket. But
in this case at least, the nomin-
ees are all representative men
of the township, who stand well
in the community. The demo-
cratic candidates have a right
to expect and should receive the
full democratic vote next Mon
day. Likewise and for similar
reasons, every nominee on the
republican ticket has right to
expect and should receive every
vote of the party that placed
him in nomination. The vote
next Monday should be a big
one. Not in the interest of any
particular candidate, but as a
matter of duty; AS a matter of
loyalty to the township, the
county, state and nation. The
right to franchise is not merely
a privilege. but it is a duty. Go
to the polls and vote on everv
occasion where a vote is called
for. Vote the ticket of the
party of your affiliation, as a
matter Of duty, and in fairness
to the candidates you helped to
place in nomination.

WE ARE WITH THEM

The War Board meeting at
the Opera House last Monday
demonstrated beyond the quest
ion of doubt the loyalty, patri-
otism and determination of the
citizens of Van Buren, county.
Every precinct in the county
was represented by a good dele
cation of ladies and gentlemen.
"A feeling of depression permeat-
ed the room, but through it all
was the spirit of loyal determin-
alton. The success, care and
comfort of the brave boys at
the front is all that counts now,
and all else fades into insignif-
canoe. Better a thousand
times" as one of the speakers
expressed the sentiment of the
meeting, that every person in
this United States perish in the
trenches, than become vassals
and slaves of the Huns, with
our wives, mothers, sisters and
babies victims of the lust and
cruelty of those fiendish enc
miles," The solemn yet deter
mined countenaces of that
large audience of men and
women Monday, presages "Over

1t is to be regretted that
every young man and boy in
Paw Paw could not have heard
the fine tribute paid Maurice
Cole by Mr.. Thornton of Allegan
at the Y. M. C. A. meeting last
week. Maurice was Y. M. c. A.
leader of the boys during his
year in the Allegan schools and
no young man ever received
greater compliment than was
given him by Mr.. Thornton.
Such a record is worth striving
for, and should be an incentive
for every boy and young man
who knew Maurice in his boy
hood days. He is now lieuten-
ant at the front in France. May
he live to return and take up
the good work so well started,
a power for good in any COM

Accuse National Organization.

Autn0f1tdtlVe statements III eastern
newspapers assert that this change of
tactics by Mr.. Lenroot was advised by
the republican national organisation.
The circumstances of the case need no
comment. 1t Is sufficient to say that
IL the national advisers Of Mr.. Lenroot
deem party unity SO essential that they
are willing to advise compromises with
and concessions to Mr.. La Toilette and
his associates, success in Wisconsin
won in that way will prove very
costly victory.
I'VE are gratified that Mr.. Davies
made No overtures for the support of
the pr0-German vote. Offering no op-
portunity for its cooperation and de-
1iberately spurning it throughout hts
entire campaign. He stood for 100 per
Gent Americanism, and typifles that
character of our citizenship, whether in
Wisconsin or in any other state. The
Wisconsin campaign has made the issue
and we welcome it. This issue, which
brought victory of doubtful value in
this contest, will return again and yet
again to plague those who have made it. .

Democratic National Body
Declares Lenroot Won by
La Toilette Mems Votes

A press dispatch from Milwaukee
says that Mr.. Davies. the democratic
candidate for United States senator.
sent the following message to Mr.. Len
root yesterday. congratulating him on
his election:
Present returns indicate your elec-
tion. Please accept my personal con-
gratulations upon this great oppor-
tunity thus afforded to you for service
TO our state and to our common coun-
try in these serious and momentous
times"
In strong contrast to these cordial
words the following statement. on be-
half of the democratic national commit
tee, authorized by the chairman. was
given out at the national headquarters
of the committee last night:
wisconsin Is heavily republican
&when the La Toilette faction is co-oper-
ating with the 'stalwarts.. The sena-
torial primary vote demonstrated that
these factions were about evenly dfvid-
ed. hence Mr.. Lenroot. the nominee.
recognised that he could not be elected
without securing the La Follette vote
which had been cast for Thompson In
the primary.
In the primary contest Mr.. Lenroot
made his fight upon the loyalty issue.
After the primary he and his supporters
sought to bring both factions together in
complete accord. arousing partisan feel
ing in every possible way. eyen to the
extent of counting the La Toilette and
pro-German vote within the republican
ranks.
