Floyd M. Jennings.
Floyd M. Jennings, son of Mr
Mrs Wm. J. Jennings, was born in
Wise township, Isaoella Co., June 15,
1887, and there grew to manhood.
Indispensable to the successful con- j Since September 1909, be has been in
duct of his business, he will be given ! tbe west, visiting several states,
an opportunity to sav so under oath, j among them Montana, where as tbe
Bnt tbe point ol view will not be tbe j result of an accident he came to an
advantage or disadvantage to private
'business but to the government and
tbe national defense. Enterprises in
no way related to the national defence and the war will find it more
difficult to get their men exempt
tban those immediately connected
with the manufacture of supplies
agriculture.
2. The local exemption boards
will not be permitted to pass on iu-
dustrial or agricultural exemptions,
but upon the question ot dependent
relatives and whether tbe individual
is or is not an official of the executive, legislative or judicial branches
ot the state or national governments.
They will examine for serious physical disabilities, but a second examin
^,-ation will b« given on entrance

3. The federal review boards,
about 50 in all. wili travel througb
the several judicial districts of the
United States and bear and examine
applicants forexemptions. The composition of the federal review board
ie one of tbe most important things
on whicb the special committee in
tbe provost marshal's office is now
working. The hope is to select a
leading engineer or technical man, a
leading business man and a lawyer,
and possibly a labor representative,
all to be men of tbe highest repute,
indorsed, doubtless, as to character
nnd integrity by the federal judges.

The body ofFloyd Jennings, whose
deatb at Forsyte, Mont., vas chronicled last week, arrived from the
west oo Thursday night. Funeral
services were beld on Saturday at 2
P. M. from the cburch at Herrick.
Up to tbat time the parents had
beard nothing as to tbe cause of
deatb except tbat contained in the
certificate of transportation accompanying the remains which stated
tbat death came from "falljjig beneath a passenger train." Tbe only
mark on the body appeared to be at
tbe back of the skull which was
*b*rubhed la|as by a blew of some kind.
£"he matter Is therefore viewed with
some suspicion, and a thorough investigation may be asked for.

Among the bills lately introduced
in the House of Kepreaentativea at
Washington ia one by our Congressman, Hon. Q. A. Currie to "declare
unlawful the purchase of supplies,
articles, materials munitions or products for the government from any
person, firm, aasociation, or corporation acting as tbe purobaeing agent
for tbe Government, or from any
person who is a member cf any
board, etc."
Pnblic policy demands that officials
should not be permitted to contract
with themselves, and the rule likewise applies to tbose in semi-ofticlal
and advisory capacity. Tba bill ls
therefore one tbat should be given
prompt passage.
Some bave gained tbe idea tbat
Mr. Currie baa in charge tbe diatri-
bution of seeds, but tbis ts in error,
Mr. Loud being allotted tbia privilege for 1917, since tbe orders for
these was ot necessity placed laat

Following close upon the heels of
the great Liberty Loan Campaign
comes aifotber of equally great importance, that to secure funds for
tbe American Red Cross.
Tbe need is urgent. Tbe army depends upon this organization for everything in tbe nature of hospital
supplies, medicines, Daodages, uiu
tbe thousand and one things required
to care for tbe sick and wonnded.
To bring tbe matter bome, Clare
County boys may suffer and die on
tbe battle fields of Europe tbis year
or next for tbe want of attention
wbicb onr dollars can give.
it is generally understood tbat
membership in tbe Red Cross is what
is now wanted, tbs membership fee
being only SI. Tben amounts from
SI np can be paid yearly in addition
as desired.
Quite a number bave already
joined within tbe last few weeks.
More are doing so. And every township will doubtless be organized at

government
most obviousreasons. Either a democratic or monarchical, or bureaucratic form of government is the
correct one. Lincoln, in his Gettysburg address, raised tbe question a*>
to whether government by the people
would perish from the earth, and no
doubt that was tbe position tbis
country was in at tbal time. If the
Cnion had been disrupted, popular
government wouid bave proven a
failure, and this seems to the writer
to be the condition that we are in today. If Russia can be maintained as
a democracy, *we will undoubtedly, in
not many years to come, see the principal nation? of the world governed
by their own people. If Russia,
therefore, does not assist the allies in
the contest now on, mucb more suffering and expense of vast sums will
fall upon the Cnited States.
It is for this reason, tbat is, to
strengthen tbe Cnited States, that
the Root commission was sent to
Russia. Now is the opportunity of s
century to work in the interests of
world democracy, and since every
Gersnan who bas come to tbis country
must have done so for the purpose
of improving his condition a»d because he approved democracy so
every American citizen of German
descent should consider how important a part he is called upon to exercise in favor of his adopted country.
It i9 hard to fight against your
brothers, but there is no way ont.
This country fought, brother against
brother, in i-*bi-">, and the present
contest is no harder than tbat. It is
your duty to free tne German people
from an autocratic form of government. Give them what you enjoy io
your land of adoption. Give every
man an opportunity to govern, to
have voice as those who shall govern,
and to wipe from tbe earth hereditary right to govern.
Either oar form of government is
right or it is wrong. During our
Civil War it was declared that thie
nation could not exist naif slave and
half free, and so in tbe opinion of
the writer, governments in the world
cannot exist half democracy and half
bureaucratic, without eventually
cia.ibine and successive wars. Our
readers must not think that we have
lost feeling for our brothers a-cross
tbe water—on the contrary, we have
as much love for them aa ever—But
their rulers are the ones against
whom we wish to proteet tbem. We
believe in government by the peopie.
If Germany wins the war Russia will
revert back to the czars. France may
take cn an emperor again and government by the peopie receive a set
back for many, many years.
