trust in public affairs and of meeting
the needs, problems and exigencies
of the city in all Of its activities.
Belding with its diversified inter-
ests, its improvements, its social,
business and industrial life should be
well represented at all times and on
all occasions by the heads of it's diff
ferent departments in manner
which shall reflect credit on the city
government and its people. This
cannot be done by electing inexper-
fenced men in business affairs.
1t will require men of broad guage
measurements to meet the require
ments of administering the affairs of
the city in a conservative and sue
cessful way. 1t should be the duty
then of every voter to consider that
responsibility rests upon him or
herself in the selection of men to
compose the city commission, that
their choice should not be made along
the line of favor or friendship but
for fitness to the responsible position.

THE DAY OF PEACE.

The signing OF an armlstice Is not
ordinarily accepted as definite end
Of a war. But in this case the treach-
cry and dirty perfidy of the Huns
have called for the imposition of most
unusual and extraordinary safe
guards. With an angry people at
their back and the armed forces of civ
ilization before them, the Hun legions
are cornered. The war is over.
The voice ofAmerica will not again
be trifled with and flouted. When
our Representatives speak, they will
be listened to. Our power to rise
within short time and exert an over
whelming force has been abundantly
demonstrated. The notion that the
Unitd States is an easy going, mo-
ney loving nation, That had no sense
of pride, no power of resistance, no
force to make its principles and stand
ards felt, has been shattered.
The most .frightful threat the world
ever met since the Dark Ages has
been challenged. Cruelty, rapine,
lust, rapacity, brutality have been de-
fed and driven into their dens. The
world is once more free to go the way
of honest and peaceful industry.
A great military record has been
made. Our boys have proved that
the fiber of the nation has not soften
ed. The feats of our soldiers COM
pare with anything you can find on
the most golden pages of history.
A glorious record of civic service
has been achieved. Our people have
proved their willingness to sacrifice,
to place country and community first,
and their own personal welfare last.
Our losses it is true have been ir-
reparable. The noble lives of thou
sands of young men have passed from
US. But all human advance is gain
ed at the cost of similar sacrifice. The
blessings we enjoy today were all paid
by the blood and tears of previous
generations.
We lay our reverent tribute of graf
itude at their feet, and enter the new
door of opportunity they have opened
for us.
