COMMENTS ON MEN AND THINGS
By Spectator
We must feel deeply for the French for the opportunity to express our
in their supreme disa8|^er. W they hadjset^^
not sought an armistice they would
have been compelled to surrender
abjectly. France was not ready to
meet Germany, nor, perhaps, could
she ever hope to battle successfully
.with Teutonic weight and thorough
ness without a genius like Napoleon.
Are you men and women proud
of your country? Then prove it by
exercising your citizenship. Enroll'
now and vote in the primary. |
The next legislature may have to'
pay a deficit of several million dol
lars. How would it meet such an
issue? Let us ask the candidates

by toe vote in what is called toe “pri-
