Has there been n meeting of the new executive committee since Its election? Has the committee elected a chairman or done anything to secure an expres sion of the Democratic voters In Rich mond county as to their choice for county officers and members of the Legislature to represent this comity? While there seems to be absolutely no contest on for any public office yet at the same time it does seem as if party politics and party management were at a pretty low ebb in Richmond when the county executive committee to whom are entrusted party afTalrs.doesn't take enough Interest In Democracy or :he Democratic voters to even seek an expression of the party as to their choice for candidates for public office.

We cry them In our stories, we chant them In our verse; But let us sing a stansa for the F.'hl Cross Army Nuiae. She Is In the foremost battle, she Is in the rearmost tents. She wears no weapon of attack, no ar mor of defense, She Is braver than the bravest, she is truer than the true. She asks not If he fell beneath the yel low and the red. She Is mother to the wounded, she l» sister to the dead. The victor's cheers ring in her ears.but these she does not heed; The victims' moans and dying groans are given as her meed. And many a suffering hero chokes his blind and sullen curse To smooth it to a blessing for the Red Cross army nurse. Work on. O, noble army, snd the crown of crowns lie yours, Not always shall destruction be the glory which endures, It is coming, it is coming; you ate helping on the day When we learn the nobler action is to succor, not to slay; It is coming, it is coming: you are aid ing It along. When we know the feeblest nation is us potent as the strong: It is coming. It is coming: you are bringing it to pass.
