Approves Wilson's Policy.
(Reardan Gazette. Rep.)


President Wilson has taken the
right course in the present situation
that the nation finds itself today be-
cause of the warning nations of Eu-
rope. To lend every effort to bring
about terms of peace is one Of the
chiefest aims to be pursued and in
that the president deserves the SYM
pathy and support of the country,
and outside comparatively few who
would reap financial benefits with
the war to proceed. he is receiving
that support. Then, we have our
own interests to guard that our own
people shall not be brought to suffer
in any way from the expense of the
foreign war. and this he is doing
through inquisitorial commission that
have been sent out to investigate the
sudden rise in prices for the staple
necessities of life.

America u Blessed Land.


America u Blessed Land.
(Puyallup Valley Tribune.)
America is today what it was al
ways meant to be-the country of
the average man. Think of the whole
OF Europe, rent and torn with war,
and of Americans at peace. We rep
resent the whole human race, num-
bering representatives of most of 1t
in our citizenship. There is a chance
for it to get new start here, under
more favorable conditions than it has
every known. We can show to the
world, as one contemporary phrases
it, what humanity is capable of when
it has a fair chance. The opportuni-
ty is ours and no nation ever had a
greater one. If there is ever to be
a fulfillment of the prophecy that
men shall beat their swords into
plowshares and their spears into
pruning hooks it is likely to be in
sHAS SOuAIJ VI OuIo 1NdJlOU snail
not lift up sword against nation.
neither shall they learn war any
more"-so the Word runs. Even we
may be far from that ideal, but we
are at least closer to it than any
other nation. This thought, and the
hope for its realization, have never
been absent from the minds of the
American people. We have under
stood that it is the business of man
on this earth, not to destroy, but to
produce. That is a lesson that all
the world must learn. There must
be hundreds of thousands of men in
Europe now under arms who long
for those blessings which we take as
a matter of course. Our Socialist :
orators would have us believe that we
are in most desperate case. The
truth is that we are the most highly
blessed land on which the sun ever
shone. The hungry and burdened
peasants of the old world know this
to be true.

change the address of his Review to

last week to make his home and en-
Joy a deserved rest after many years
of til on the farm, and all who know
him will admit that they are few
who have put in more hours of hard
work than he. SiXty-siX years ago
the 18th day of this coming June he
settled on his farm in Winneshiek
county, along the Military road be-
tween Postville and Castalia, and
there have been few days since he
has not been ION the job" Postville
has always been his chief trading
point and he has many friends here
loyal and true, but when it came to
selecting a place to reside his loyal
ty to "old Winneshiek' lead him to

our only wish for him is that the re-
mainder of the journey may be
fraught bountifully with the bles-
sings of we'll spent life.-Postville

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

To one who is even only slightly
acquainted with the history of Ire
land or it's beautiful folk lore, the
name of Saint Patrick conjures rev.
cries that are pleasant to indulge.
One will search long to find history
of more profound interest than that
of the Emerald Isle, and the most
absorbing of this is woven around
the era of the good patron saint,
Patrick, or Patricus, as was his Ro-
man name.
A captive and swineheard in his
younger days, ne finally escaped and
spent several years in Rome. He then
returned and, in the face Of and
against the protestations of the
Druid high-priest who then control
ed the pagan island, spread the Cos
pei of Christianity and became the
Regeneration of his nation. Some his
torians claim Christianity was first
introduced in Ireland by Catholic
priests from the coasts of Europe,
but Ireland herself accepts Saint Pat
rick as her national apostle.
The good saint is said to have had
a wealth of eloquence at his COM
mand in his teachings, and in time
converted to Christianity many of the
Druid priests. 1t was Saint Patrick
who first used the shamrock to illus
trate the trinity, and in so doing he
gave to Ireland her national flower.
The harp, another emblem of Ire
land, is such because of the nation s
Bardic genius. We shall not discuss
here Saint Patrick's feat of driving
the snakes from Ireland, but recent
article in a magazine of repute de-
clares that to this day there is not a
reptile on Irish soil.
Saint Patrick died in 493, and 1t
is to his memory that all nations pay
honor on the seventeenth of March
of each year by wearing shamrock
or bit Of green.

Jewell took him out for ride in his

were pleased to see him. 1t was his
first trip up town since he was taken
sick. Although he didn't leave the
auto, a great many of his friends
had the pleasure of greeting him. We
sincerely hope it will only be short
time when genial Joe is back again
greeting his customers at the shop
in his usual jovial way.
