NORTHWEST TERN JUNIORS.

While the excitement of war is en-
gaging the attention of older minds
an immense struggle is in progress
between the boys and girls of Mimi
esota and surrounding states.
Where so many hundred, and per-
haps thousands, are competing for
the three prizes which are given each
week by the Minneapolis Journal to
the Northwestern Juniors it should
be, and is, s,conside dered a great honor to
, secure mention in the journal Junior,
and a still greater satisfaction to
secure prize.
! That our boys and girls have un-
dertaken this educational work with
definite object in view has already
been demonstrated by them IN an
effective manner. One has secured a
beautiful prize for the Worthington
schools, and a number wear the
Junior button which marks them as
membess. Papers by Stella Ander-
son and Blanche AXE, of room 8, ap-
peared in the Junior of June II.
In order that this work may be
carried forward systematically dur
ing the summer months a committee
has been appointed consisting large
ly of those who are already honorary
members. Buelah Sain, Clarence
Pannell,. Ravenda Schultz, Clifford
Loveless, Elna Falk, and Nelson
Dayton constitute this committee and
will be ready at any time to assist
those who wish to compete for the
excellent prizes offered.
During vacation all prizes will be
personal ones. Lack of space pro-
hibits the publication of the prize
list this week but it will appe ar in

sufficient merit those papers forward

How THE FOURTH SHOULD BE CELE-
RATED.
In the morning my chum and l
will get up at five o'clock and fire off
our cannon under my fathers bed
room window, although he said we
might wish we hadn't. AS we are a
good deal interested in the present
war with Spain we have thought out
a grand scheme for celebrating this
Fourth.
We have made quite number OF
small ships and cannons, and mould
ed quite number of bullets we have
also dug a pond in which we propose
to have battle between Spain and
the United States. OF course we dc
not doubt that United States will
win. We have a fort representing
| Moro Castle and number of ships
representing the United States Navy
attacking Havana. First our steam
la inch, the Oregon, will appear anc
fire once and then as this will exhaust
Ter supply she will steam up to oul
provision and ammunition boat, tn.
Hale, and be loaded again. A couple
of Spanish ships, will then come
round the bend and help the fort.
We will then send forward ou
torpedo boat, the Terror, to destro.
the Spanish boats, our whole fee
will next appear, lombard the fort
and secure an unconditional surrend

shoot off our fire-crackers hurrah fo
United States. In the evening W
will have other displays such as spin

o help them to keep our country
peaceful and our Fourth worth cole
brating. We ought also to look into
our own lives for only by being good
citizens of our town can we be good
citizens of our country
The firecrackers, skyrockets, and all
kinds of fireworks are only amuse-
ments of the day but the flags
speeches, and patriotic songs should
be more deeply looked into and
thought about than these. People
should decorate with red, white and
blue as much as possible.
The old soldiers should have a very
prominent part in the exercises, for
it is to their honor that We can cele-
brate this glorious day. The child
rem should also take an active part
for the Republic will be intrusted to
their care in a few years, so they
learn to love it and be ready to de-
fend it in the future.
Beating of drums and shooting of
cannon should be heard to recall the
battles fought before we celebrated
the Fourth.
l. Now these are the ways the Fourth
should commonly be speut but I
think, if it were possible, that the
grandest way to celebrate it this year
would be to have the treaty between
Spain and the United States signed
on that day, then there surely would
be grand celebration.

How THE FOURTH SHOULD BE CELE-
DRAFTED. ~.~
If I were to have the management
of affair this Fourth, l think it would
be success. .
The war with Spain looks as if it
we're never going to end, so l would
like to get hold of the Spanish fleet
and take the marines captives, then
take the vessels away from land and
set lot of fireworks on board and a
mine chock-ful of dynamite under
each one, SO that when it was touch
ed off the ships and fireworks would
go up in the air at the rate of about
hundred miles minute.
I I think if my plan could be carried
out it would be the kind of Fourth
worth having.
| suppose this sounds kind Of,
heartless, but then if Spain we're only
. out Of existence there would be less
war and bloodshed.

THE WORK OF
LIGHTNING
Friday night Kills two horses
and burns two barns in this
village.

The barn of Mrs. Susan Ditty's To-
Gated in the Clary addition and oc-
cupied by E. A. Tripp was struck by
lightning last Friday night during a
rain storm, set on fire and burned to
the ground.
1t was about II 80 when the heavy
stroke of lightning flashed, burning
out the electric light fuse in the
house occupied by Mr.. Tripp, at
which time he was up putting down
the windows. He heard ore Of the
neighbors exclaim "fire" and on look
ing out the window discovered the
barn on fire. There were burned in
the barn two horses, a cutter, 40 bu-
shells of corn, 20 bushels oats, hay
and some other articles. The fi,a
was so hot when the building was
reached that it was impossible to get
the horses out. Mr.. McKeever had q
small barn adjoining the one struck
which was burned, but there was nc
stock in it. Mr.. Tripp's loss is about
$500. The fremen made their usual
good time in getting out and on the
ground, taking in consideration the
distance they travelled and condi
tion of the streets. The fire alarm
system was not in working condition
owing to some needed repairs tha
the system is undergoing. "

FLAG DAY.

The 14th of June has sprung into
permanent place as national gala day
Of its own accord 1t is in celebration
of an act of Congress passed III years
ago which read: Let the flag of the
United States be thirteen stripes, alter
nate red and white, let the union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation" In
April, 1918, it was enacted by the ted
eral government that after the Fourth
of July following, the flag Of the United
States should have thirteen horizontal
stripes. alternate red and white, that
the blue field should contain twenty
white stars and that on the admission
of a new State to the union one star
should be added to this field. Under
the provisions of that act twenty five
stars have been added since 1918.
Flag Day has special interest for
the American people this year when
the Stars and Stripes mean liberty to a
people, who for more than three years
have been valiantly struggling to free
themselves from Spanish tyranny.
1t means more than ever to-day when
the Stars and Stripes have just been
planted on Cuban soil, an emblem
which up to the present has meant pa
triotism, but now stands on two CONT
nents as a symbol of humanity and
liberty
Therefore up with the Stars and
Stripes to-day and hats off and three
times three cheers for the unsullied and
glorious flag of our common and doubly
reunited country.
All hail to grand, beautiful and en-
during Old Glory!

Hostility to the Spanish Queen Re-
gent, her Ministers and the two princi-
pal political parties grows more out
spoken every day The Sagasta Minis
try is not expected to last. Starva ion

threaten in others and soon only d

tain any semblance of law and order.
Yet with revolution at hand, cen
sored dispatch from Madrid says Spain
is capable of continuing the war in Cuba
two years, and is not seeking peace.
Spanish pride evidently will lie on to
the end. After we have taken all OF
SPANS possession, sunk all her ships
and completely walloped her army, we
will probably still be reading that ia
miliar censored dispatch from Madrid
to the effect that Spain is prepared to
continue the war indefinitely.

A HIGH TARIFF ILLUSTRATION.

Spain is an excellent illustration of
what the high protective tariff policy
may do for a nation if given time
enough. That country stands out in all
it's poverty and low state of social life
and civilization perfect example of
the effects of the policy with which the
hands Of the American giant have long
been tied Spain adheres TO that system
with the same tenacity with which she
adheres to other modes of cruel tyr
amy which most other countries Of
Europe have in a great measure dis
carded. The comparative poverty low
wages and limited consumption in
Spain of articles which we regard as
necessaries may be something more
than coincidence.
Spain is the most centrally situated
of all countries with respect to the
commercial countries in Asia, Africa
and North and South America With
Gibraltar she would command the en-
trance to the Mediterranean. Sepa-
rated from the rest of Europe by a
great mountain barrier her position
for purposes of defense is almost insu-
lar. Enjoying these immense natural
advantages and once mistress of a
colonial empire never surpassed In ex-
tent, she might have been the greatest
of all commercial nations but for her
blind and barbarous commercial policy.
England. less favorably situated with
respect to the worlds commerce and
but little more favorably situated with
respect to defense. has snatched the
commercial scepter from her. Her vast
colonial possessions have broken away
from her one after another more be-
cause of her greedy and stupid economic
policy than for any other reason. and
what few she has left have long been
in rebellion against her policies.
Spain, dominated by a belief in those
commercial restraints and distortions
miscalled protection, is the most COM
plete demonstration the world affords
Of utter unfitness for colonial empire
or commercial greatness. With SPANS
example fresh before our eyes is It not
time We and some other nations of the
earth were taking warning?

WHY 500 DOC. 900 OF BONDS.

Why? The reason is plain as day
light These S40O,OO0,O coo of bonds are
not to be issued because the govern
ment is in immediate need of money
to carry on the war, or because the
money could not be raised in any other
way; but because the gold standard
needs much buttressing to make it
stand and because the national bankers
strengthen their grip on the currency
of the nation. That is the why and
the wherefore of this totally unneces-
sary bond issue and these are the infiu-
ences that have complete control of
Congress and the administration.
In one breath we are told from Wash
ington that everything is looking lovely
and that peace is neer at hand, and in
the next breath that the country will go
to smash and have to lie down" before
Spain if this bond issue of $500, 900, 900
is not made. Now the ruth mus, be
obvious to every person of ordinary
common sense that if The war is not to
be prolonged then the issuance of this
vast amount of bonds is unnecessary.
Yet the country has been edited by the
spectacle of President Mckinley reach
ing out for peace with one
hand and with the other TAX
ing advantage of the chance to serve
his masters. the moneyed aristocracy,
by issuing an enormous amount of
bonds, increasing the principal
of the interest-bearing debt of
the nation to such an extent
that no one now living will prob
ably ever see this war debt" paid off!
1t will last and keep our bond holding
and interest-reaplng aristocracy with
us far and away into the next century
until we shall have paid the debt over
again in interest.
That is Republican policy. That is
the policy which this administration
has forced on the helpless people under

WAR RUSES BY THE OREGON.
Two Experiences of the Ship In Brazilian
Waters Described.

Two Experiences of the Ship in Brazilian
Waters Described.
A dispatch from San Francisco says:
Gunner Robert w. White, of the Ore
gon. writes to his mother in Oakland,
giving some interesting inside history
of that ships experiences in Brazil.
The letter was dated at Bahia. He
says in part:
when we left Rio we had to leave
the Nictheroy. The Marietta steamed
out shortly after us and TO our sur
prise did not bring the Nictheroy with
her. AS she is sister ship of the
Wheeling, our captain ordered her TO
paint her smokestack black-previous
to this it was yellow-go into Rio, re-
port as the Wheeling, and inquire for
the Nictheroy She completely fooled
the natives and came steaming out the
next day with the Nictheroy.'
Again, in the letter, White writes:
I'VE called at Bahia to give our ship
a final cleaning for battle. We gave
out that one of our shafts was broken
so as TO get Brazilian protection until
we were ready to move. An official
came aboard to see if the shaft was
really broken. but the captain had
given orders to heat UP the shaft room
so hot that no one could stay there
more than a minute The official was
conducted below, but soon came up
dripping with perspiration. Rather
than go down again he took our wordf
about the broken shaft, and SO we stay
ed at Bahia as long as we pleased

A NEW REpUBLICAN POLICY

According to the New York World
whose reporters have been busy gath
ering opinions at Washington, the gov
eminent will abandon the Monroe. Doc
trine and go in for territorial expan-
sion, beginning with the captured col
onial possessions Of Spain.
If the Republican party is going in
fer anything Of the sort it will be the
part of honesty to let the people know
it at once that they may express them
selves upon the matter at the polls in
the coming fall elections.
The Democratic party is now, as ever,
unalterably opposed to any departure
from the policy of the fathers whose
wisdom time has proven, or to any in
fraction of the Monroe Doctrine, our
safeguard against European aggression.
And the Democracy stands ready to ac-
cept this issue in the coming elections.

ila Whom Meiklejohn blames is not
stated. Gen. Miles complains of the
slowness Of Quartesmaster-G General
Luddington, and Gen. Shafter found
fault because suitable uniforms were
not provided for his army bound to

the guise OF necessary war measure.
The administration can make short
work of the proceeds Of such a sale.
How handy this money will come in to
cover up the deficits of the ordinary
Dingley bill, Then the extraordinary
in operation pouring money from the
pockets of the people into the Golfers at
Washington. Yet, while the admins
tratlon is setting these war measures"
afoot it is loudly talking and praying
peace. Now, if the war is soon to end
as doubtless it is-there will be no need
that the people be subjected to the
DOUBLE EXPENSE OF EIMEDI-
ATELY MEETING THE TAXGATH-
ERER AS WELL AS PROVIDING
FOR AN INDEBTEDNESS THROUGH
ANOTHER LIFETIME OF INTEREST
ON AN ENORMOUS BONDED DEBT.
If enough money cannot be raised
Immediately by taxation under the war
measure as passed, increase the
taxes or add to the articles
taxed until enough is forth
coming. The people would be glad
to pay these war bills at once and avoid
a frightful and burdensome increase in
the Understanding debt which is simp-
ly meant as a further bulwark for the
oppressive. gold standard. The immc-
diate coinage of the silver seigniorage
would GO far towards settling the ex-
penses of the war. But the goldbugs
and the money-bags are horribly afraid
to let the people get even this poor
little taste of silver coinage, lest tast-
ing the sweet morsel should inpel them
to clamor for a larger bite and to in
crease their clamor until they got it.
Hence the goldbugs and the moneybags
ordered the administration and their
agents in Congress to reduce the limit
of the coinage of the selgniorage in the
bill to mere small trif1e monthly, so
that the increase in the country's pri-
mary money from this source will be
but mere drop in the bucket and in
appreciate.
Finally, we are told that President
Mckinley will remain firra in his IN
tention to COMPEL SPAIN TO PAY
THE ENTIRE COST OF THE WAR
TO THE UNITED STATES. THEN,
AGAIN, WHY A BOND ISSUE?
Can the administration or any of its
advisers and apologists answer this
question? If Spain is to be made to
pay our entire war debt as we'll as the
cost of the Maine, why burden our own
people for the same purpose with a
$400, 100000 issue OF bonds. which will
require a full lifetime or longer to pay
princiL IL and interest?
We are soon to have peace, yet we
must have war taxes and a war debt
saddled upon us, Spain is to be made
to pay for the war, yet we must pay
for it ourselves! This is the illogical
position of the administration.
4lCoh HlIC luC CAll wal
taxes soon to be levied will be piling
money in upon the Treasury at the rate
of s3O,OO0,GOO a month-enougb to meet
the expenditure entailed by the war.
And there will be no need of increasing
the bonded debt of the United States
and entailing for long number of years
upon the people the expense of interest
thereon, even though we should not
collect the expenses Of the war from
Spain.
In fact, the real and ony reasons for
issuing $500, 0C0, 000 Of bonds at this time
are carefully kept in the background,
namely the necessities of the gold
standard and the demand of the ma
tional bankers and the moneybags gen.
orally.
