One Lesson From the War.

This war ought to teach the world
many lessons, and they will not all be
lessons concerning the power of ex-
plosives or the resistance of armor
plate. Many Of the lessons will have
to do with the arts of peace. And one
of them, at least, has directly to do
with Aberdeen.
The lesson is this: One we'll may
wonder what would be the fate of
any nation whose army went into
battle as a mere crowd of individ-
uals, without leaders, without a plan
and without having in view a defin-
tie achievement
There are lot of people in this
community who would honestly like
to see this town a good town. They
do not lack public spirit. Individual
ly they have all the elements that
make town prosperous and pleas
ant; but they lack cohesion.
They seem to think that speaking
well of the town is enough 1t is
lot. 1t is lot better than kicking.
But there is not only a lot to be said
for Aberdeen, but a lot to be done
for it. We all know what this town
needs. Any man can sit down and
in five minutes figure out a lot of
things this town ought to have.
But men will have to get together
to bring them to pass.
That is what cohesion is. This
is what is meant by having not only
wish but plan and an aim to
achieve. And the thing to do in any
town that wants to make the most
of itself is to get behind the Cham
Der of Commerce.
But it will be pleasant labor, and
labor that to some extent brings it's
own reward. No man, no normal man
at least, wants to be a hermit. He
wants to associate with his fellows.
How can he be associated with them
better than in some effort to make
this better town for all of US?

Extravaganza.

To have adequately maintained the
army and navy during this world
crisis, is that extravaganza?
To have given nearly 100000 for
the relief and home transportation OF
the Americans caught abroad by the
war, is that extravaganza?
To have set aside an additional
100000 with which the State De.
partment is performing the diplomatic
duties of practically the entire world
in the great capitals Of Europe, is
that extravaganza?
To have diverted, temporarily, $5,'
100000 to insure American ships and
American cargoes against the risks
of war, is that extravaganza?
To have massed our troops on the
Mexican border, to have occupied
Vera Cruz, to have assumed the ex-
pense of rescuing Americans in Mex
ico-this at a cost of some $S,000,000
is that extravaganza?
To have used $S,O00,000 to prevent
a Mexican war of intervention at a
cost of $400,0O0,O0O, is that extrava-
gance?
To have given the increased appro-
priation to handle the vastly increas-
ed business of the Post Office Depart
ment-a business which includes a
new service of vast proportions and
infinite benefit to the people, and
which is paying business now-is
this extravaganza?
The truth is that the Democratic
appropriations throughout represent
the use of the peoples money to ad-
vance the public Interest," policy
which the Republicans quite consist.
emily oppose. Will the truth or the
lies win?

These two words gal;en from Pres

Mexican policy, furnished the text
for innumerable attacks, sometimes
angry, sometimes witty, and gener-
ally reckless, by those advocates OF

accustomed to count the cost-to

This generation of Americans has
no personal knowledge of the mean
ing of war on large scale. The i'm

mind that it never could have gained

Why Beat Fishel.

The average voter, in this year of
our Lord, 1914, will require better rea-
sons than are being advanced by the
standpat press of Grays Harbor for
voting against E. E. Fishel. That
Mr.. Fishel was defeated for the re-
publican nomination and was then per-
suaded to accept the nomination on
the progressive ticket is too slight
cause for turning down an official
il his record is good.
Mr.. Fishel is just completing his
first term as county commissioner and
is seeking reelection on his record.
II his record is bad he should be de-
feated, if it is good, he is entitled
to support regardless of what ticket
his name appears upon.
He was defeated for the republican
nomination by the City of Hoquam--
the nomination being made by the
Third District But, commissioners
are elected by the entire county, and
ShSy iCPlCSCHt lily WuOlc tOuuty Nueu
elected. Right or wrong, the i'm
preston prevails that Fishel was de-
feated by reason of his stand for
equitable taxation on the board of
equalization. If true, the objection
will appeal no stronger to the aver
age voter or taxpayer than will the
howl about his being "a poor loser"
in the primaries. So far the Herald
has heard no valid objection to Mr..
Fishel's record, and that is what he
must be judged by. To urge his de.
feat on party grounds would be to
turn the hands of the clock of politi.
cal progress backward.

A CALL TO DUTY.

Before another issue of the Herald
the primaries will have been held and
for all the state, congressional, legis-
lative and county offices, and the re-
suits will be known.
The Herald wishes to emphasize
the Importance of this election and
the duty of every citizen to register
his choice; especially does the Herald
desire to call attention to the duty of
Republican voters to exercise their
prerogatives of making manifest
their choice.
There are in the state approxima-
tely 100000 voters who naturally af-
filliate with the Republican party. 1t
is the solemn duty of every one of
these to register their choice on Tues
day next for state officials and con-
gressmen.
It is just as much the duty OF cit
izen to exercise his prerogatives of
citizenship in time of peace as it is
for soldier to be true to his colors
in time of war. It is just as dishonor-
able and disgraceful for a citizen to
fail to vote as it is for a soldier to
desert in the time of war.
Let every man do and perform mis-
duty.

Hon. Lyndon A. Smith,
Attorney General,

My dear Sir:
While l am not at present in the
service of the State of Minnesota,
am interested in her welfare. AS q
citizen, taxpayer and voter I earnest
ly hope to see you renominated and
elected as Attorney General for sec
ond term. Your administration of this
important Office has been a success.
l served as q member of the Rail.
road and Warehouse Commission for
fourteen years, resigning May 1, 1914,
to take up work for the United States
government. Many legal questions
which concern the regulation of rail.
roads, the conduct of commission men
who handle grain and country pro.
duce, and the important work of
weighing and grading cars of grain,
come before the Railroad and Ware.
house Commission for disposition,
and l frankly state that, in my opin.
ion, no Attorney General has given the
OASSA0A oAu ShO POOPAO OCttOI oCI'
vice than yourself. You have always,
as far as possible, protected the inter:
ests and rights of the producer.
Every case that has been appealed
by the railroads to the State Supreme
Court has been won by you. You
took an active part in the trial of the
Minnesota Rate Cases before the
United States Supreme Court, and the
decision that restored to the people
of the State the two cent passenger
fare and equal and reasonable freight
rates was secured during your term.
You have taken a lively interest in
the payment of refunds for over.
charges of passenger and freight
rates, and thru your active coopera-
ton with the Railroad and Warehouse
Commission the people have received
back from the railroads approximately
one million five hundred thousand ($1.
500,000) dollars.
All legal questions submitted to you
by the Commission received prompt
and careful attention. 1t would be
misfortune to the State to lose the
benefit Of your valuable services.
Sincerely your friend.

Should Be Specific.

Rock County Herald: The most
notable thing in the campaign against
Governor Eberhart is the absolute alb
sence of any specific reasons why he
should not be re-nominated. All that
his opponents have done has been to
throw mud by unwarranted insinua-
lions and to talk against him in gilt
tering generalities. They have not
advanced single concrete reason
why he should not be re-nominated.
They have not brought out single
act of his during his administration
that would in any way reflect upon
his honesty or integrity.
The reason for this should be ap-
parent to all. 1t is because Governor
Eberhart's record is so clean and clear
that it defes any specific charges of
misconduct. 1t is because his record
is unassailable in every way There
fore, those who are "out" and want
to get "in' are put to the tsst of
fighting him by casting innuendos;
by suggesting things that they dare
not openly charge, and by contempt
IDLY seeking to place upon his Shout
ders blame for acts performed by the
legislature. Along this line there has
been nothing too small or meal for
his many opponents to attem.l, and
in this way they are conducting the
dirtiest campaign known on the state
for many years.
If Mr.. Lee or his supporters know
of anything in Governor Eberhart's
record that is wrong they should
bring it out in specific charge. They
should stop casting contemplate in
situations and come out in the open.
The fact that they do not agree with
Governor Eberhart's way of admins
tering the affairs of the state are not
matters of Importance; nor are their
glittering promises of doing things in
better way, should Mr.. Lee be
elected. When one has a selfish pur-
pose to advance it is easy to pick
flaws in a general way in someone
else's work, and likewise always very
easy to make promises when their full
filment is, contingent upon certain
events. The people care nothing for
these things because they know that
they mean nothing But what they do
want to know, and what they have a
right to know, is whether Governor
Eberhart has been unfaithful to his
trust, and if so, in what specific in
stances. Neither generalities, insinu-
atoms or personal opinions will do in
this answer. 1t is facts that are
wanted, and if they cannot be sup
piled Mr.. Lee and HIS supporters
should be fair enough to admit it.

MAXFIELD FOR CONGRESS.

The Herald is unreservedly and I'M
qualifiedly for H. J. Maxfeld for Con-
gress.
He is the only Republican candidate
for the position.
He is young, alert, vigorous and
energetic.
He has a record of doing things
in every public position he has ever
held.
Nominate and elect him and the
vacuum that has existed in Washing
ton as far as the Sixth District in
concerned will be filled by live man.
Let US select a man for the Repub-
lican candidate, not vaccilating va
cancy.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1914-06-11
is WORTHY OF SUPPORT.

1t is barely possible that the Her
AIDS mentality is not on straight, bat
the charges so vociferously enuncl-
ated against Governor Eberhart by
the now deperate opposition listen to
us like recommendations.
The Herald's logic and reasoning
may be out of joint but We are for
Governor. Eberhart for the very
things the "eliminators" are insisting
that he should be defeated.
They call him the travelling" gov
ernor and he is. Every intelligent
citizen knows that, except when the
legislature is in session, the duties OF
the governor are nominal and routine.
It is not matter of great Importance
whether he is in his office or not. He
can loaf in his luxurious rooms or he
can hustle around the state, get a
knowledge of conditions at first hand,
meet and mingle with the people, Wis
it notable gatherings in other states,
get new ideas and gather fresh in
SEPARATION by contact with the nations
brightest intellectualities.
Governor Johnson travelled and lee
tured more than any other governor
the state ever had. Not only was he
absent from his office on many lee
ture trips but he charged for and re-
ceived large fees for his platform eff
forts and made them source of
great financial profit to himself, and
no criticism was made. In fact the
whole state was. proud of the fact
that we had an executive that could
hold his own wherever he might he
and in whatever position he found
himself.
Governor Eberhart has followed in
Governor Johnson's footsteps, only he
makes no charges for MS services. He
has extended the name of the state,
has continued the publicity campaign
inaugurated by his predecessor.
The Herald is proud of the fact
that that we have a governor that
is in demand in every part of the
country and that he voluntarily per-
forms these arduous duties at per-
sonal sacrifice.
Mr.. Lee does not need to inform the
public that if he should be elected he
will fill no platform engagements Tor
he will receive no invitations, but the
Herald is surprised that he and his
friends should advertise his lack of
qualifications.
It has been charged that large
amounts of money have been spent
under the present administration, and
it is true. 1t is also true that large
results have been obtained. Scienti-
fic business consists of wise expend-
iture of money. Is there any citi-
zen who desires that any of our state
institutions be hampered by lack Of
funds? Let those who want thirty
cent policy speak up and declare
themselves.
1t is charged that the Governor
appoints his friends and supporters to
positions. If he followed any other
course he would stand forth before
the people of this state as self-con-
fessed simpleton and migrate. Does
any intelligent man believe Mr.. Lee
will not appoint his friends should he
