AGE AND WAR

Abraham Lincoln was 80 years old, and
q member Of Congress, when he wrote: !.
my old withered dry eyes are full OF
tears yet" In the same year he wrote:
II suppose am now one Of the old men;
and declare, on my veracity which !
think is good with you, that nothing
could afford me more satisfaction than
to learn that you and others Of my young
friends at home ar edoing battle in the
contest, and endearing themselves to the
people, and taking stand far above any
have been able to take in their adnira-
ton"
We are now in time more critical
than Lincolns. Why is it that old men
are conducting the nations in this emer-
gency? Would not one have said that af-
ter four years Of unexampled strain,
when every country is seeking efficiency
as never before, men Of 35 to As would
have risen to the highest places? What
do we find? Hindenburg is II. The
Prime Minister Of France is n. General
Foch is 81. AS this war goes, Ludendorff
is young. He Is So. Young also is Lloyd
George; he is IS. The greatest worker
associated with him, Lord Miner, is GA.
Kitchener was 66. You can't explain it
away by any theory Of young men not
having their chance, for these days the
search everywhere is for force. For some
reason or other man in his forties has
now comeeto be looked upon as young. IA
{. 1T u.s." said DR.. johnson, "a hopeless
endeavor to unite the contrarieties Of
spring and winter" Apparently it is not
hopeless, yet it is indeed surprising that
no Nelson, Pitt, or Napoleon, in point Of
youth, has been thrown up by the war,
except Kerensly, who lasted but little.
While youth and early middle life are on
the whole the most efficient eras, the rule
evidently needs reserve in its application.
Perhaps frequently the most efficient
are those who combine long experience
with vitality unusual at their age. Lin
coin knew how to express. himself. He
said: "A fellow once advertised that he
had made discovery by which he, could
make new man out Of an old one, and
have enough left over to make little vel
low dog" .+.a~A-~,r -,
Obviously the fellow was no quack.-

UTAH MAKES GOOD RECORD;
SHOULD BETTER II NEXT YEAR

Following the announcement TINT
Utah has gone inagfificently over the
top In her sugar beet production, the
federal food administration Is sending
out statewide appeal for even a
greater production next year. The beet
growers Of the state, 1t Is declared, are
producing one of the most seriously
needed war time food products
sugar The fact that the increased
production will be sufficient for the
10lS-1910 sugar requirements Is de-
clared by Utah food officials to be
significant. 1t means that Utah hns
responded to government wartime
Gull for help In a concrete, definite
way that brings great credit to the
state; that this commonwealth Is able
to say to Uncle Sam:
| 1--WE are turning over to you for use
wherever II may be needed an amount
of sugar equivalent to our entire pro-
duction In previous years. Our In
creased production will be enough for
our own home needs"
Every citizen Of the state must, It II
believed. be proud u this record.
For the benefit Of beet growers Of
the state. the federal food officials
have cited the following facts which
may aid in an increased production
for next year;
ut Is estimated that the best fleids
Of Utah win this season produce be-
tween a00. 900 aud 10000 tons Of tops
and crowns. We need an increased

LUKE M'LUk-. SAYS

When a man knows the meaning ot the word "antitheses" and knows how to pronounce the word. he uses it too often in his conversation.
 Sometimes mans hair is getting white over his temples before he dis covers that it costs more to neglect duty than it does to perform it.
 A man is usually generous to a fault when the fault happens to be one of his own.
 When ! steer gets the mouth disease the law compels you to kill it. But when a man gets the mouth disease the law protects him.
 The modern young man obeys the injunction: Early to bed" But he has an idea that it means early in the morning.
 The father of couple of princesses can tell you that a girl goes to high school so she can learn to ask foolish questions intelligently
 Men are not bad fellows when you take them as whole. They are usu- ally polite when you bother them. though they hate you for bothering them; and they have a nice way Of saying it will be no trouble at all when lit will be whole lot of trouble. When a Hun sets fire to church he stands before commander and gets an iron cross. But if he set fire to a brewery he would stand before a fir l ing squad and get a flock of bullets.

x V Reputable Lawyers Won't Charge Registrants Fees

M DJUTANT GENERAL STALL A INGS charges that many law yers in Alabama are charging men of draft age fees for assisting them in registering and filling out ques- tionnaires.
 It is to the credit of Birmingham's lawyers that the profession as a whole has given loyal aid to select men, and, therefore, to the govern ment, in fulfilling these duties and if any lawyer in the city has tried to cdlect fee he has escaped detec- tion.
 By helping drafted men the legal profession is performing a very use ful and patriotic task, one in which their advice is often indispensable. That any members of the profession should charge for this service is dis creditable to their patriotism and just lly lowers them iii the esteem of their professional brethren.
 No lawyer of American citizen ship will refuse to help men of draft age in preparing their papers, no mat ter how valuable his time may be. He should give this aid gladly and with out any thought of reward other than the knowledge of having done his d,,fv

 Clinton Scollard, in New York Sun. The crimson roses tell me it is June; know 1t by the wind that never

 They, too, reveal it, and the oriole, Flame breasted, says to me that June

 By the ulburdened rapture of it's soul. Yet sometimes am barren of belief, And whisper to myself 1t cannot be, with all the nations in the grasp of grief, And all the world so wrenched with

KnBY IS SOLID AT HOME

From the Anniston Star
 No greater tribute was ever paid to a candidate for any office in Anniston than was accorded Hon. Thomas E. Kilby. at present lieutenant governor, when his home people from every part of the ccunty packed the Noble theatre yes terday evening and gave him an ovation that showed in eloquent terms just where the people of Calhoun stand in the cam paign that is now being waged for the highest executive office within the gift of the sovereign people of state.
 The people of Calhoun county appre. ciate Tom Kilby. They are duly sen sible of the great work he has done here as a city builder along moral edu- cationai, civic, industrial, commercial and financial lines; they know no call
 has ever come to him in vain from any part of the county for the render ing of any service that would make for people, and they know that his heart beats true to the finer impulses of man. kind Hence, they love him and admire him.
 But the people of Calhoun county also know that in the election of man to guide the destinies of a great state in
 a crucial period of it's history there must reeds be other than mere personal or local elements of consideration, and in this light they have also recognized
 +, the cbamnion whose ca,,ca tba., hor. espoused one who has never trimmed. tenporized, straddled nor equivocated on any issue that affects the people of a state; a man of assertive character and positive actions, one born for leadership and one who has done no violence tc
 the sacredness of his birthright. Hence, the people of Calhoun, his home county, indorsed Tom Kilby on the open ing of his speaking campaign at the New Noble last night, and in resolutions tha, were adopted unanimously by the large audience present in a rising vote, they set forth their esteem in one of the ] finest testimonials ever given any man Tom Kilby is as certain to be Ala. l bama's next governor as is the Kaiser I to be driven from the throne of Ger many-and there can be no room for ar gument about that; work, incidentally | for which Tom Kilby has contributed 2 son to the firing line in France, as wei 1 as his time and his money and his in ldustries in Alabama; and it was not unti l the great war drives were out of the way 1 that he would take the stump in bchal of his personal ambition, for Kilby is Z patriot of patriotic ancestry, and he rings
 true to the best traditions of true Amer | ica niSm.
