PLANT A TREE; PLUCK A WEED

BE aye stickin' in tree, Jock; It'll be
CROWN while ye're sleepin'," says one of
Scott's Waverly heroes. If every good
roads advocate would set out tree, a
Towering shrub, vine or hardy plant,
what beauty and attractiveness would be
added to our roads! The movement has
already had big start, in spots. Now for
concerted movement throughout the
United States. Old Mother Earth has the
means at hand "Be aye stickin' in
tree, k."-From The Roadmaker.

Become a man useful to your country !;
whoever cannot be so is better dead.
To these admonitions of the Japanese,
we add: Do not be ashamed of your father
and mother, even if they are uneducated !;
remember you helped to put the callouses
on your fathers hands and to bend your
mothers back.-Sam Gordon.

President Wilson is said to have carried
flag in the preparedness parade at Wash
ington June H. Judging from the suff-
rage plank recently used in remodeling
the Democratic platform we presume it
bore the legend Votes for Women.

Cheer up, fellow sufferers of the frater-
nifty! It is more than five months yet be-
fore we sink from the high heights of
"the leading editors Of the state newspa-
pers," into the oblivion Of publishers of
the country weeklies." Enjoy the bust
of glory while you may.

Chairman Robins, at the Chicago con-
Vention, spoke of Roosevelt as The Man
of the Hour" But after all an hour is a
painfully short time.

The State Board of Health doesn't rec
ommend the water of New Ulm for drink

ever had that water at New Ulm was ever
used for drinking purposes.

Joe Cannon says 'The gates Of he'll can't
keep Republicans from victory" That is
the first time it has been told to us that
the Republicans are in bad-and want to
get out.

The Bird Island Union says "The band
has blossomed out in white duck suits. !"
Duck suits, including webs for the feet,
would seem to be necessary this season.

The near-future circus coming to Red

how to designate to circus tent air, par

menagerie.

It was suggested that Billy Sunday and
Teddy Roosevelt speak from the same
platform. Bill refused. He was right.
Not even the platform of the Socialist
party would be big enough for these two
to talk from, let alone any religious or
reform platform.

Redwood Falls has had many men clev-
er at turning disadvantage to advantage.
But the epitome of such cleverness was
reached last week when resident auc-
tioneer tried to make an unsuspecting pub
lie at an auction, believe that COW, suffer-
ing from lump-jaw, was really only a vic
tim of that greatest of all femme mala-
dies, double-chin. That he was promoted
to the deceit by resident banker is al
so fact.

If the members of the Right Honorable
City Council would pay less attention to
the future location Of the postofice, and
more attention to the abominable condi-
ton of the streets of the city, the public
would be much more benefted-and the
postoffice located satisfactorily to large
number of Representative" citizens also.

And we'll add bunch of onions. Our

Morton is either unfortunate in having
a ''chief Of police" who is fond Of show
ing his authority or she doesn't care t

DOMESTIC VIRTUES IN THE ARMY.

DOMESTIC VIRTUES IN THE ARMY.
 The Indianapolis News tells of young wife who went to visit her National Guard husband at camp. She had expected to find him marching or shooting. Instead she found him peeng pota- toes and stirring meat stew, with lot of dishes piled up to wash.
 This made Init with the wife. She remen- bered with keen interest that her husband had an inSuperable aversion to washing dishes, that he could never under any circumstances be per Suaded to peel potatoes in his own kitchen, and that he not only hated to do any form of cooking but had absolutely refused to learn throughout their married life. And here he was, installed as cook for his company, and getting away with the job fairly we'll considering his natural limita- tions-and more marvellous still, doing it cheer fully She laughed and laughed at the embar- rassed cook, and yet was proud of him.
 The incident suggests that there are excellent things other than fighting that man learns in a military organization. There might be less oppo- sition on the part of women to their men-folks embarking on military careers if they realized that the men would probably learn something about housekeeping doing their term of service
 Every man ought to be able to cook simple dishes, anyhow; the lack of such ability IS a ser ous defect in practical education. The man who admits, or even boasts, that he can't cook meal or wash dishes or do the marketing or make a bed is in the same class as the woman who never reads the papers and hasn't the slightest under standing of her husbands business.
 Order is another thing that a soldier or a guardsman learns. And most women will readily agree that it will make amends for a good deal of feminine sacrifice to have husband or son acquire the habit of keeping his own things in order and refraining from messing up other peoples things. Army life may be crude and primitive in some ways; but in these respects, at least, it's cvzer

PEACE OR WAR?

In declaring at Philadelphia that, if elected President, he would not toleraSe Interference with American property, with American mails or with legitimate commercial intercourse Candl- date Hughes intended one of two things.
 Either, for campaign purposes solely, he was putting in a bold, unblushing bid for the disloyal pro-German vote; or he was announcing policy which, if applied, would involve grave danger of war with Great Britain and France. This last is true because in many cases without question the so-called interferences have been within the legal rights of the allies and in other cases within legal rights For instance, mails to Great Britain when in American custody, unless they be ''offciaT and so stamped with the seal of the British Govern ment, are not British but American mails, and American mails are not American mails when ln the custody of another Power, whether that Pow CT be belligerent or neutral. Certainly, in the present desperate crisis the Allies would not aban don their rights in order to enable Hughes to re- deem his political promises to the disloyal vote within the United States.
 So it stands as to Hughes and the affairs of the Allies As to Roosevelt and Germany, his Bat tie Creek Speech frankly announced that by sez- ing the informed German ships in American ports, he would have committed an act of war against Germany had he been President. Hughes IS run- ming on platform substantially, of war with the Allies, and Roosevelt is running Hughes on a platform, literally, of war with Germany
 Now as to Hughes and Roosevelt and do- mestic affairs, both want reversal of the Will son policies That means, primarily, repeal of the Adamson Eight-Hour Law. Here both are a platform which practically declares an in dustrial war within the United States Both also seem to agree upon policy of war of subjuga- ton in Mexico.
 One after another, Republican, Progressive and Independent leaders of national thought, commerce aid industry have come forward saying that nothing has been lost to America by Pres- dent Wilson's refusal to be led into any one of the above four possible wars which would have been gained by war. The President has stood for the exhaustion of the processes of peace before resorting to war-and the processes of peace have proved adequate. We have peace and we have honor and we have the blessings of both. Look the field over; You will not find the charge that American honor has been sacrificed emanating from any other than partisan source.

FRAGILE PATRIOTISM.

Seldom does an auditor leave a theatre after hearing the beautiful opera of Madame Butterfly without tear-wet eyes and new and deep sense 6f the responsibility of being worthy American. The people of Baltimore, however, are not to be permitted the artistic joy of witnessing this, one of the great masterpieces of modern music drama they are to be deprived of the poignant spiritual experience which is the inevitable concomitant of its production.
 The reason why the people of Baltimore can not hear this opera IS that 1t violates their legal patriotism.
 1t seems that there is an ordinance ruling that 'Ihe Star-Spangled Banner" shall not be played, sung or rendered in Baltimore in any public place or at any public entertainment or in any theatre except as an entire and separate composition or number without embellishments of national or other melodies And in the score of Madame Butterfly Puccfni has seen fit to utilize bits of the national air again and again to enrich the emo tional effect of his musical structure So Madame Butterfly is unpatrotic-in Baltimore-and the of its periodically sensitive inhabitants must not be corrupted by it.
 Could there be any sillier traversty of patriot isml
 When love of country and the responsibilities of citizenship have to be protected in so artificial manner, wonders whether that particular brand IS worth protection. If people really love their country if its ideals mean anything in the ennobling of their daily lives, cannot they be trusted to see that the outward forms of this feel ing will be treated with sufficient respect? Sanity in civic legislation has nothing in common with such utterly worthless sentimentality as is repre- sented by that ordinance.

BETTER BOOKS

According to the Publishers Weekly, the au- tumn output of books for 1916 is 40 per cent less than that for 1912. With this decrease in number comes corresponding increase in quality.
 That seems to be one good work due to high prices. The publisher today scans new manu- script longer and more carefully than usual be cause 1t costs him more to publish book and he doesn't want to go through the expensive process for one that isn't worth while It is said to be working the same way with short stories They are fewer and better. This is cheering news for the magazine reader. Perhaps the reader himself has had something to do with this improvement in quality of the literature that is being put before him. for he too has improved.
 From the bookshopS and libraries come re- ports to the effect that more people are reading good and thoughtful books than in years past More people are buying books, few at a time or whole sets. A fair share of the nations pros perity seems to be furnishing public and private libraries Altogether it promises to be a good season for good literature.
