MINNEAPOLIS JournaN

Count Won Bernstorff officially in
forms Sec'y Lansing that the German
government has accepted the principle
that passenger lines should be warned
and passengers safety assured before
attack by submarines.
Formal acceptance of the principle
that passenger liners must be warned
will naturally be followed by apology
and reparation for the sinking of the
Lusitania and disavowal of the sinking
of the Arabic.
Where does this surrender Of the
German position leave it's wrong-head-
ed supporters in this country? Those
hyphenated Americans, who have in
sisted that our citizens had no right to
travel in the "war zone"- where are
they going to get off now? And that

for the land of their birth into active
support of an impossible policy, do not
also see great light now, they will

Sherman Hits Teddy.

SueIm0u V1lSS AeVVys
Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. SIN speech
at Rochester, ILL.,, yesterday United
States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman,
cadidate for the republican nomina-
ton for president in 1916 praised the
policy of President Wilson in dealing
with international questions and de
nounced the utterances of former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt.
'The affairs of this country" de-
clared Senator Sherman, 'have been
conducted in such a manner that all
possibility of trouble with any of the
belligerent European nations has been
removed
II an not member of the demo-
cratic party and have no affiliations
with that party he said. President
Wilson is not republican and / am
not democrat but am an American.
AS voter in the United States, l shall
stand behind Wilson as long as he
takes the stand that he has taken be-
tween the United States and Germany.
The people should be nonpartisan in a
situation of this kind.
mo partisan policy should be thought
of in connection with this situation and
any political party that tries to make
this issue part of the platform should
and will fail.
when President Wilson spoke, the
American people speak through him.
II would rather that the president
should talk through Secretary Lansing
of weeks and months than to be here
asking young boys to leave their moth
ers for the trenches. I'd rather talk
than fight any day.
If can avoid these things by talk
ing, don't care if there is some one
in Oyster Bay who wants to fight. I'll
agree with the president as long as his
policy is the same as it is now regard
ing the war with another nation. God
speed our president to go on talking
and keep US at peace.
Quaint Snyings Of ''Preachin' Bill"
There is character in 1.-THE Shop
herd of the Hills, the dramatization of
Harold Bell Wright's novel, which will
be presented at 'The Cresco," Thurs
day, September 10th, called ''Preachin'
Bill" Despite the roughness of his
character, he has brand of philoso-
ply that inits way is quite equal to
that of David Harum." Some of his
sayings are: ut
'Some fellers can do a mighty big
thing in burned little way"
every hound has his strong points,
but some has more Of EN-"
"There is bond of fellowship in
fellowship in sorrowthat knows no con-
ventionalities.
"God 'lmighty fixed it somehow so
tn birds and varmints don't make no
mistakes, but left hit plumb easy for
men and women t. make burned fools
of themselves. :"
"Hit's good fer teller t. be down
in the back onct in a while, if hit
warn't for tibet we'd get to standin' SO
burned proud and straight we'd go
plumb over backwards.
The dramatic critic of the Birming-
ham, Ala. News in reviewing the play
last season enthusiastically lalls the
character of ''Preachin' Bill, every
body's friend, "a lasting memory.

NOTHING to Worry About.

Mr.. George w. Perkins, in an Albany
conference called to keep the Progress
sive party together, declared for high
tariff on the grounds that, following
peace in Europe, Europe is going to
flood America with the products of
cheap foreign labor.
Mr.. Perkins, politician, conflicts with
Mr.. Perkins, business man. Mr.. Per
kins is one of the business men who
believe in human labor as market
commodity, like eggs, for instance
the more eggs the cheaper eggs.
On this theory, Europe is steadily
and rapidly raising the price of Euro
pean labor, by killing off its youngest
and strongestllaborers. You don't get
more eggs by killing off the hens, Mr..
Perkins.
However, ifkthe Progressive party is
for high tariff, it is well to know it,
however strong our guess that Mr.
Perkins is not really worrying about
American labor half so seriously as
about American cinches. The Rura
Weekly.

Golfers Weekly says the figures for
the first half of the year are distinctly
encouraging. In ali lines the volume
of business is growing larger and con-
ditions abroad have put the country in a
commanding, if not in the leading fl
nancial position. The country is grow
ing all the time, slowly, it is true, but
with the solidity of the oak, and never
in its history has business statesman
ship had SO extensive field as it has
now. And yet many of the opposition
party are yelling calamity and hard
times, determind, in spite of all, to
make record for themselves as unde-
sirable windjammers.
