sets apart the present great war
as wholly unique is this: That
in all the countless wars wherein the
different states that comprise what Is
known as Germany have been engaged
in the last ten or fifteen centuries
and their number runs well up into the
hundreds-this Is the first time in the
history of that people that they have
fought united and entire. There have
been many wars in which there were
Germans engaged on one side only. But
in these all the German states were not
involved; some of them held aloof from
the conflicts; today every German Is In
the fight.
Even in the last war in which the
German people were engaged, the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870, not all
the Germans were involved. Austria.
one of the most powerful OF the Ieu-
tonic countries, held aloof; indeed, she
was ready to fight, if at all, against the
so-called north German confederation.
the combination of German states was
then called, after Sadowa and before
the formation of the present German
empire in 1871. In the Austro-Pruss1an
war of 1866, four years previous, the
two dozen or more German states were
divided: in the war over SchleSWls-
Hoistein, in 1864. several of the smaller
German states declined to take the part
of Prussia and Austria against Den
mark.

Newspaper editors throughout Illinois were to be

II necessary, Our informant will 90 into court and hare
all the facts in the case-including conversations he
had with the high official of the liquor interests and
the financial considerations named for pushing the
plan to a successful conclusion.
The newspaperman was to visit editors tbronob-
out the state as the representative of certain business
nterests-advert1ser and others-and obtain the nub-
LEGATION OF articles adroitly attacking the Anti-Saloon
Legislative campaign. The articles were TO vividlv

surely follow" the enactment of further anti-sa1oon
measures.
1t was intended that the rural voters also shou1d
De made to believe by these articles that more anti
SAIGON leglslatlon would cause a business depression
which would destroy the prosperity of Illinois,
lhe one big condition of the contract was that
these articles were not to bear any earmarks Of adj
Vert1s1ng matter but were to appear as the EXPRESSION
OF the newspaper from an economic viewpoint.

We cannot be beaten in this campaign. We will have
control OF the legislature. If our opponents try the use
OF money to offset our work, we will go them one bet

use 1t literally to effect our purposes. We intend to
repeal the township option law at the coming session
and we have great hopes of killing the woman's suf-

Praise for Local Musicians.

or a recital recently given in North
wood, N. D., by Mrs. Ernest R. Wright
and Frank V. Steele of the Dakota
Conservatory, the Northwood Cleaner
has the following to say:
The concert given at the Spoon
helm opera house here last Friday
evening by Mrs. Ernest r. Wright and
Mr.. Frank V. Steele, was better than
any musical number that has yet Wis
tied our city, and delighted a very fair
sized audience. Mr.. Steele possesses
a voice of remarkable volume and
depth and is truly wonderful in his
rendition OF difficult classical selec-
lions. far surprising any baritone ever
heard in Northwood. The power and
richness of his voice was a treat that
will long be remembered with pleasure.
AS to Mrs. Wright, no mere words
could do her justice. There were none
in that audience to So that they had
erer listened to a more pleasing singer.
Neither the charm Of her personality
Tor the beautiful qualities of her voice
have been magnified. Whether in
classic selections or more simple eff
forts, one delighted in the clear, rich
tones hat never faltered in their per-
lection, whether in the low and soft
modulations or in the highest registry.
She captured the audience at once, and
held them ~enraptured throughout a
generous program. Mrs. Steele was i'll
and so was unable to be here. Miss
Florence Turner, as pianist, was all
that could be desired in that capacity,
and is a most skilled and sympathetic
musician. The last number of the ly-
ceum course proved the best, and our
| citizens are highly pleased with the en-
! tertainment furnished Them"
