SLOVENIAN EDITOR
DEFENDS HIS PEOPLE

I William Brunschmid, editor Of
Narodni Vestnik, the paper published
in Duluth and in which many Of the:
Slavonic residents of the range are
interested in writing to the "Open
Court" column of the Duluth Herald,
had the following to say, among other
things, Of foreign born and educa-
ton: r So y
"There are in Duluth and st. Louis
county about $4,000 Slovenians and
Croatians who are being wrongly CALI.
ed Austrians. There is no Austrian
dictionary, no Austrian grammar,
hence no Austrian language, and no
Austrian nation; we have only been
subjects of Austria against our will.
BY this reason we feel offended by be-
ing called Austrians-call US Sloven-
ians.
"Our immigrants are as good
physical and mental stock as the
much heralded German. The Ger
man was able to develop in peace
behind the bulkwark of these Aus
trian Slavs, who were, like their Bal
kan brethren, fighting the savage
Turk for centuries. They had no
chance to civilize, to go to school;
their mostly used tools was arms for
the defense of their fatherland. The
oppression of Habsburg, instigated
by Hohenzollern, is not much milder
and beneficial. How in the world can
one expect better people under such
adversed circumstances Our old
country is 0. K, but our manager,
Habsburg, is poor, and this is the
cause that thousands of our people
flee to the shores of the United States.
"Here they are harnessed in the
harvest and most dangerous occupa-
tons. Yet, they do not kick as a
rule. They are thrifty, they have
money, they have wants like the
English speaking citizens. They
have established in the last six
years around Duluth, Slovenian farm
ing colonies that are on a par with
any farming colony of recent years.
In the woods around Greaney, St..
Louis county, in the woods around
Fairchild and Rib Lake, Wis.,, are
Slovenian settlers by the hundreds.
Greaney alone has about 200 SLOW
enian farms. They stay where 9TH
ers get discouraged Give them roads
and you will have fourishing colony
of Slovenians in your vicinity that will
number 1000 souls.

The Baptism of Fire.

All the landscape in front of Fra

There was no sign OF the enemy;

The Forward Turn.

Pierre Rodjestvensky7 the Russian
consul to San Francisco, said In a
recent military argument:
These assailants of the Russian
campaign are ignorant Their argu-
ments show military ignorance as
great as the sea ignorance that was
shown by the young tripper on his
first visit to Coney island.
"As this tripper and his girl stood
on the Coney island beach, the young
woman said:

authorities had to secure the sanction
of the local justices of the peace; in
1885 the term of an impressed mans

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in It's approach, hard to de-
tect in it's early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. It kills
in our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start In some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure. IL discovered early, SO it is we'll
to know the early signs Of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever. by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects. the blood
gets impure and heavy. there is head
ache, dizziness. heart palpitation, and
a dull. heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, Joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia. rheumatism. govt. sciat-
lea, neuritis. lumbago or kidney collie.

DR.. FRIEDMAN SAYS INDIANS ARE HONEST

Indian girl is brave enough to tell the
truth.
THE Indian is moral and instinct
lively. This is a co-educational insti-
tuition. in a sense, but we have less
sex annoyances than would be the
case were the students white The In
dian girl is modest II marriage is
uppermost in her mind she does not
show it in her conduct.
Tradition represents the Indian as
being indolent. / say that he is in
dustrious. Among aboriginal Indians
the labor of families was divided. as
it is supposed to be divided among
civilized people. The husband hunted,
fished and went to war.
THE wife remained at home, cooked
the food of the family, and made such
clothing as was customary to be worn.
History is filled with the atrocities
of the Indians. The records we have.
however, were written by their white
enemies. The fighting of civilized ma
lions today is said to be much like the
fighting of the savages which We look
upon with horror. Scalping was in
part a ceremony. Armies all over the
world are now preparing to drop
bombs from the air on their adver-
saries. The Maine was blown up in
Havana. The scalping of man al

name performance.

1t is not hard to find wives of promi-

case that such a wife has materially
aided in the accomplishment of that
success. Mrs. Fall has.
And If all this is apparent after an

is lawyer by instinct, sufficiently
learned to take an active part in help
ing her husband.
When asked the direct question as
to woman's ability to help her hus-
band, Mrs. Fall admitted it could be
done, but there were conditions.
"A woman can do much in inspiring
her husband, and can help him. She
is sure to be of use to him II she takes
an active, intelligent interest in his
work"
That has been her motto. with en-
phasis on the intelligent. and as a re-
suit, It is safe to say that few have
been the cases. handled by Senator
Fall of which she was ignorant.
