Then join in hands, brave Americans ail,
OUR POLITICS ASD OUR ALLIES.
f T will be the studied purpose of political leaders and
A of responsible and well informc' journals to keep the
conduct of the war, as such, out of the congressional campaign
this fall, but that effort is not going to be conspicuously
sucessful if there is to be any great amount of piffle
like the following from this morning's issue of The limes;
It can have no other effect than to hurt a n't
lessen President Wilson's prestige and Influones
with the foreign world for his party to
meet defeat this fall. It cannot hnt weaken his
power for good, for victory and peace, should
hta party be repudiated at the polls by the
American public.
The Times does nol seem to know it hut President
Wilson is not an issue at the polls, and if his party is
repudiated, to borrow the language of the I irnrs writer,
it will be because the people of the congressional districtdo
not like the records made by the Democrats up for re
lection nor trust the new ones.
At for the effect aborad. Well, iff The l imes p
more attention to affairs abroad it would not attempi
internationalize its parochial t'heo res of politics. It
perhaps not too much to say that Germany would ha
won this war if the people of Fiance, Italy and Grr
Britain had subscribed to the political theories held h;
The Times that somehow the parly in power ought to l>
held sacrosanct.
British armies on the continent might have been utter!
annihilated had the British people not had the courc
and die hard common sense to overthrow the Asqmth gov
emment and put in its place the Lloyd George govern
ment which made winning the war in the shortest possible
tune and by the most direct method the first care. The
II dateatut campaign came within a hair of being as successful
in France at it was in Italy, and that success was only prerated
because the French people threw out the existing
jovernment and put in that of Clemenceau whose conduct
>f the war and of domestic affairs has been more vigorou
han any our sister republic has seen since the days of
Thiers.
There it nothing in this country that in the faintest way
reeembies the condition which brought those political
thanges about, but in view of the fact that every time an
Allied government hat been upset it hts been succeeded
ijr one much ttronger and more determined to push the
ear through to a victorious conclusion, is it not fair to
uaumc that our friends in Europe will he able to withtand
the thock of the defeat of a few Democratic conpataman
next November ?
In Europe they realize that it is the American people
wd not the Democratic party who are sending millions
?f armed men to Europe and providing them with the
NMWt of war, and they concede our right to manage our
domestic affairs in our own way, just as we. perforce, concode
the tame right to them.

Czecho-Slovaks as an allied nation and their three armies
as part of the great allied fighting force.
France and Italy have already recognized the aspirations
of these people, and the United States has unofficially
through its secretary of state expressed the sympathy of this 1
country for their cause. ,
The recogniation of these people by the allied powers
is but the carrying out of one of the principles for which
we are fighting?the freeing of the smaller nations from

i the Russians had fled. Ar.d now they are also fighting

on the western front driving the Hun back to his lair.
Political freedom as a separate nation will mean the end

CALL TO YOUNC WOMEN
NEXT week an intensive effort will be made to interest
the young women of Fairmont and Marion county j
' in the appeal of the government for trained nurses to enroll
as Red Cross nurses and for girls to enter training.
I he size of the response to the first part of the appeal,
will be limited, of course, by the number of women who
have finished a nursing course and have the other requirements.
but there is practically no limit to the number of
girls who could qualify for training. Good health, a
high school education, or it.-, equivalent, and a desire to
I serve their countiy is about all that is necessary, and there
ought to be no dearth of these qualities among the girls
of the county.
I her is no need lo enlarge upon the nobility of the ser*
sice that a nurse can tender 111 war time, nor to explain at
length the practical utility of such service. In no other
form of war work can the women of the nation fine aid
that bears as directly upon the purely military side of
I the war. It puts them upon a fooling of absolute equality
with the young men who go into the ranks. That has been
recognized to such an extent by the War department that
legislation is pending which, when it is parsed, w ill provide
definite rank for nurses, giwng them the status of officers
Young women who enter t'aining now, therefore, in all
piobability will be graduated into commissions, I
In some of the commurd'e.. of West Virginia the campaign
to recrutt nurses is already under way and is meeting
with marked success. Marion county has so far done
everything that it has been asked to do. in mod instances
doing a little better. It must not fall behind in this. It i
up to the young women, but the outcome will be watched
ii'n keen interest by every patriotic citizen. Those who
e interested may learn the details by making inquiries at
rooms of the Fairmont chapter of the Red Cross in the
ty building 01 b- addressing a note to Mrs. C. O. Henry,
airman of the ing Service committee, in care of the j
rd Cross in this city.
According to a special dispatch to The Times It "was i
ated" in Charleston that William E. Chilton lias writii
to Colonel Watson plcdeing cordial support to the
ttter In his senatorial ambitions. If the statement ,
n't true, the Hon. Flill can just deny it. Rut any way
you take It the publication puts Chilton In an awkward
position. Why couldn't The Times, which is Coolnel
Watson's personal organ, he courteous enough to bo
sure about this little mattei before printing anythin:
about it.
Speaking at the ceremonies which atended the open
ng of a mil't -r. railroad 130 mites long which has bm
built in 30 duya. I'reiuter Clemenceau declared that II
dawn is breaking of the day when Franco is to see
victory won. They have no illusions In France afi
lour full years of war. They know the Get mans cam
win, something they were not entirely sure of I
months ago. hut they do not know when the pcoph
the Central powers can he made to aee the situation
its true light, so they are going resolutely ahead w.
the grim buslnes of making war. There is much ab<
j the war game which wc can learn from the French.
It is reported that there are two million tons of
1 wheat, tons of butter, cheese and other dairy products
' and much meat in western Siberia. Australia also has
surplus wheat. There is sugar in the east and food
: of various kinds in South America. Hut there are not
j enough ships to make these supplies available In Eu.
rope. Ships are the keystone of the economic condition.
And pretty soon the United States will have
plenty of them.
o
It may be true that Germany has made a demand
upon Austria to furnish from 10 to 15 divisions of
I troops, but It is not at all certain that the purpose Is
' to nse them on the west front. Germany is going to
, need some troops on the east front pretty soon, and
it Is going to be something of a problem to find com
mands whose fidelity can be trusted In that theatre.
, Surgeon General Gorgaa haa raised his estimate of
1 the number of nurses needed. He said yesterday that
| we will need 50,000 nurses for overseas work between
i thia and the flrat of July next year. One of the most
' interesting developments of the war bas been the participation
of British women In the activities on the
> front It la apparent that before very long American
women will also be on the firing line In equal proportions.

against the varloua measures in the
Sixty-fourth Congress to inrrease the
army and navy, against the declaration
of war with Germany and conscription

j Honesty and "Commercial"
Honesty.
Time was when the distinction
between these
two forms of Honesty
was great. Now, Honesty
is honesty without qualifications
of any sort. This
being applicable to business
as well as other
things, the term "Commercial
Honesty" and its
practice must he classed
as old fashioned.
We deem it dishonest to
exaggerate in our advertising.
