What should count in war as we'll as.
in love.

The people of Marshall county and
the Red River Valley in Minnesota
have much to be thankful for this
year. A bounteous crop, the biggest
in its history, has been raised, prices
are quite good, and favorable fall
weather has enabled the farmers Ia
do their blowing and prepare the
ground well for next years crop
Never have the farmers of the North
west had greater cause for rejoicing
than in this year Of grace, and in ev-
cry farm home there is or should be
found contentment, happiness and
good cheer and hearts OVERLOOKING
with gratitude to Him who is the
giver of every good and perfect gift.
Let those who have been abundantly
blessed not forget those less favored
in life, but share with them out of
their bounty. Many good and wor-
thy cause needs assistance. Riches,
property, after all, are but a loan,
and for a short time at that. Let us
do as much good as we can in the
world, with our talents and with our
worldly goods. Then we will show
true gratitude.

Booker T. Washington, the famous
negro educator and founder of Tus-
kogee Institute, a celebrated school
for colored people, died at his home
on Sunday last. He was a fine exam
pie of what a man with force, energy
and ability can accomplish regardless
of handicaps of race, poverty and
station in life. Born a slave and
freed when Abraham Lincoln lifted
the shackles from his race, he set out
with courage and determination some
years after the war, to acquire an
education, and he succeeded. Seeing
all around him evidences of the de-
graded condition Of the negro race
he set out to lift his people to a
higher level of culture and civiliza-
ton. AS an effective means to ac-
complish this, he started school,
that has been phenomenal success.
By pen and speech he also has labor
ed earnestly and INCREASINGLY to i'm.
prove the condition of the colored
people. He urged upon them indus
try, honesty and thrift, to become the
owners of their own homes and farms,
educate their children, establish them
selves as good useful members of
their respective communities, and by
so doing gain the respect and esteem
of the white people among whom they
lived. Mr.. Washington has done
more, perhaps, than any other man
to ward off race prejudice in the
south. He has done work that will
endure as long as black man and
white man must dwell together in
this republic. His life should be an
incentive to all youth of this country,
regardless of color or ancestry, to
make the best use Of the greater op-
portunities they have, to the end that
this country may ibe benefited because
they have lived here. @a

We have not noticed the. country
press rush to the support of President
Wilson's new policy for a bigger army
and a bigger navy. The country
press is closer to the people than the
big lingo dailies in the cities, and
represent more truly the thoughts
tina dwell deep down in the hearts
of the common people than the big
papers do. The people know that in
creased expenditures for the army
and navy must be met by increased
taxes and if we read the signs Alright
the farmers are not in mood now to
carry additional burdens for military
purposes. The United States is spend
ing now $250,OO0,000 yearly for the
army and navy, and that ought to be
sufficient if it is spent economically
and wisely. The amount is ten times
as large as the appropriation for agri-
culture. And at this time there is
less reason than ever for increased
expenditures for armament. Against
what nation need we prepare?' Sure
~ not against any Of the nations nov
at war. They will all be so thorough
ly exhausted when they emerge from
the present conflict that they will not
want to go to war again in a hundred
years. There is no need for this
country to make haste building big
ger navy. We have hundred years
to do it in. You say Japan will at
tack US. She will not do it, nor could
she do It if she would, except in the
Philippines. If Japan really wants
these islands she could probably, take
them regardless of the size of I. our
navy. But would it be worth while
for this country to go to war; over
these far away islands? SO far. the
islands have been a burden to u.s., and
according to Congressman Miller of
Minnesota, the government We are
giving the Filipinos is far from wha:
it ought to be and scarcely better
than the old Spanish rule. With such
conditions prevailing it would be
wiser for us to cede the islands to
Japan than to go to war over them.
But Japan is not likely to be over
anxious to take up the task of civil
lizing the Filipinos. This country has
really no nation against which, we
need prepare, unless we are to be the
aggressor. And we pride ourselves of
being peaceful nation. s

Time flies and before many moons
a national political campaign will be
on in dead earnest in this country of
ours. The democrats have their pro-
gram fully mapped out already and
are quite clear as to what they will do.
Wilson in all probability will be their
only candidate for the presidency.
Mr.. Bryan is too far ahead of his
party, and of all parties for that mat
ter, to be selected for the exalted
position. But the republican party,
on the other hand, is all at sea, as to
what its future course shall be. If
the progressives return to the fold, as
seems probable at this writing, then
it may again go before the people
with good hopes Of success. Divided,
republicans and progressives, are
both doomed to defeat nationally. In
as much as it is not for the best in
terests Of he country to have one
strong party monopolize the affairs
Of government, it is to be hoped that
republicans and progressives may be
able to adjust their differences, which
is more of men than Of policies. But
time is short in which to do this.
Minnesota will be the first state in
the union to elect delegates to ma
tional convention, and this will be
done at primary election to be held
March ID, 1916. It will behoove those
who call themselves republicans to as
certain where they are at. Is there a
republican party in this state? Since

The frequent accidents resulting
from the use Of gasoline instead of
kerosene for lighting fires should
make everyone more careful in hand
ling these inhamable oils. Gasoline
ought never to be brought into the
house. 1t is too dangerous. If ker-
osene is used for kindling the fire, a
small quantity should be poured from
the can into a cup and from the cup
onto the fuel. But it is safer not to
use even kerosent for such purpose at
all.

have the wholesome effect of relegat-

PUBLIC SKATING RINK,

Now when the cold winter sets in,
there arises question among the
young people of this city, what to do
in the evenings. Some Of the older
people say that they can stay at home
or stay inside at some public place
uptown. To be sure they can, but is
it for their best interests? The mat
ter of staying uptown, especially; has
proven to be the downfall of more
than one Warren boy. Now if the
citizens of Warren can prevent this to
a great extent, why not do something
at once? We know of no better way
of providing wholesome amusement
center during the winter than by pro-
viding public skating rink. Here
girls and boys, young and old, can go
to enjoy several hours of clean, out
door exercise. Such rink should be
maintained by the city. It would not
be so very great an expense, as water
and light could be procured from the
municipal light and water plant.
The grounds to be used could be the
public Fairgrounds or the school
campus. All that would be needed
would be warming and rest room,
which could be erected at very
small expense.
Think it over, Mr.. Citizen Parent
Do you not feel that such a place
would be of great value? The skat-
ing rink would be a place for the
young people to congregate in and
where they could get some very much
needed healthful exercise. But time
is valuable in this matter and some
thing should be done at once. So why
not act now. "A. w. M.
