would rather surrender territory than
surrender those ideals which are the staff
Of life for the soul itself. And because
we hold certain ideals we have thought
it was right we should hold them for
others as we'll as for ourselves. Ameri-
can has more than once given evidence
of the generosity and Observation-Disclosures
of its love Of liberty. 1t has been will
ing to fight for the liberty Of others as
we'll as for its own liberty. The world
sneered when we set out for the liberia
ton of Cuba, but the world does not
sheer any longer. The world now knows
what it was then loath to believe-that
a nation can sacrifice its own interests
and its own blood for the sake Of the
liberty and happiness Of another people.
And whether by one process or another
we have made ourselves In some sort
the champions Of free government and
national sovereignty In both continents OF
this hemisphere. So that there are cer-
tain obligations which every American
knows, that we have undertaken. The
first and primary obligation Is the MAIN
stenance of the integrity Of our own SOW
ereignty-which goes as OF course. There
is also the maintenance Of our liberty to
develop our political institutions without
hinderance, and last Of all, there Is the
determination and the obligation to stand
as the strong brother of all those in this
hemisphere who will maintain the same
principles and follow the same ideals Of

is, that H. H. Hill, who is q
candidate for the Office of wate'
commissioner is q good fellow
However The News is of the opin.
ion that MIR. Hill is not qualified
to fill that particula, office as
problems which are now before

in the future have never come
within the scope of work he has
followed and can not be learned
overnight. Anent the statement
made so plibly in The Bulletir
regarding Mr.. Hill having SOM
particular reason for not qualify
ing three years ago, The News
remembers quite clearly that thu
statement was given out that Mr.
Hill would not qualify as he would
be deprived Of his transportation
on the Milwaukee. But just leave
it to The Bulletin to bring ont
some vague mysterious reason
That is their usua line Of reasoning,
However. the people would appre
ciate something more tangible than
the statement advanced by that
little weakly paper.

A few remarks on the edi.
torial from the Aberdeen News
regarding the ready-cut houses
may not be amiss: The editor
Of this paper was born in Bay
City, Michigan. and lived there
until twenty years Of age and
knows the conditions of that city
quite we'll. AT one time enormous
RATS Of logs were delivered to
Bay City, from the Michigan for
ests and later on from Canada.
The lumber industry in that city
attracted q goodly population Of
industrious people, the major por.
tion Of whom, owned their proper.
ty and as q result, the city was
beautified and made to be q de.
lightful place to live in. After
the Michigan forests were depict
ed and the Canadian government
placed tariff on logs, the wealthy
people Of the city were rather hard
pressed for q time to hold the
population up, as the lumber in.
dustry was destroyed. About that
time it was discovered that sugar
beets could be grown proHtably
and several large factories were
built. Later on the democratic
administration gave that industry
solar plexus' blow and the
talented versatile rascals who have
large property interests there,
started out along more intense
lines and converted some of the
sugar factories into ready-cut
motor boat factories and later on
other enterprising business men
went into the ready.cut house idea.
and what is more to the point,
they are getting away with it.
Those powerful wrecking cranes
used on this and other roads are
also made there. The Germans
bav'nt anything on the business
men Of Bay City for concentrated
effort to keep that city in the
lead. The population is much
larger today than it was in 1901,
whom we left. The idea we wish
TO convey il that they are slipping
something over on the lumbermen
