THE BRAVEST FIRST.

So many men could have been better
SHARED than John Purroy Mitchell!
That is the greatest tragedy of war.
It takes the bravest, the most useful, and
The finest specimens Of manhood first.
John Purroy Mitchell packed more into
his 80 years Of life than most men ex-
perience in double that span. He lived
like gallant American and died like a
hero.
Tammany, Hearst, Socialism and dis
LOYALTY defeated him in his race for re-
election as mayor Of New York despite a
record that probably is unsurpassed for
efficiency and progressive business-hko
management of municipal affairs.
He was not popular mayor. He was
too efficient and independent to be popu-
lar as a politician.
Defeated for reelection, he chose the
most dangerous branch of the service, and
quickly qualified as an expert aviator. He
lost his life because Of a moments care
lessness, either on his own part or the part
of somebody else.
Few men held greater promise of use
fulness. Few could not have been better
spared.

The valley City Times -Record DAYS its re

The Valley City Times Record paws its re
spects to President McFasland follows:
president George A. Mcfarland has tend
cred his resignation to the board of regents
as president of the State Normal school at
Valley City. This action on the part of Mr.
McFarland has been expected for some time
under the circumstances which have come
about. For 26 or 27 years Mr. Mcfarland
has given the best he has in him towards
building up a, great big educational institu-
tton, and that he has succeeded the present
beautiful state institution with it's imposing
buildings and beautiful grounds stands as
monument OF the work, as head Of the in
stitution, Mr.. Mcfarland starting in as he
did with two-room building down town
the institution under his presidency has
grown until it is recognized as one of the
leading educational institutions Of the north
west Perhaps others might have achieved
the same success-but that does not detract
from Mr.. McFarland's incumbency. He has
been at the head Of it all these years and
under his management has been a great sue
cess and he is entitled to the credit It NAV
be that he is human like the rest Of us and
mistakes have been made-but if he has
made any they certainly have not been
serious ones because the growth Of the in
stitution under his presidency shows that he
has been success as compared with May
Vile and other institutions in comparison
who have had the same chance to grow that
the Valley City Normal has. Just why Mr.
Mcfarland is to go is only a mater Of poll
tics, we think, but these things come about
occasionally radicalism gets control Of
state affairs However, he has resigned,
and will soon pass out of the front door of
the institution he has so ably presided over
private citizen when his successor is an

future. by their work We shall know them"
Mr.. McFarland's work has been very good
and he Will leave the institution it's preSi-
dent with the keen regret Of thousands of
alumni all over the state we'll as thous-
ands of friends who have followed his work
and have become acquainted with him all
the years he has been building up this great
institution. He should have been retained
until he was ready to lay aside the official
duties-but changing conditions have de-
creed otherwise. We can say with many
others well done thou good and faithful

The Chronicle is informed by the commit

other towns and townships in the county

loyal to the core, and that she is right after
the Kaiser with both hands and feet and
determined brain. The Kaiser will now

compulsory leap into the dark" and our
