Some State.

The State of Minnesota is certainly
some state when it can furnish more
than 1000 persons who pay an income
tax and the amount thus derived
amounting to more than $4,000. That
is why so many of us have decided
to live in the old state long enough
to die and be buried here so that it's
influence can be with us through all
eternity-Lake City Leader.

President Wilson is IN the unenEl'

rIaced between two fires
In flaming words eX-President
Roosevelt is trying to wither him by
fiercely attacking his policy as COW
ardly and dishonOring our country,
declaring that, thanks to Wilson, we
have earned the contempt Of all ma
tons. Germany is openly defying us,
and Wilson does nothing but write
more notes, which result in nothing.
To arms! To arms.
On the other side is Bryan, our
dear old Peace-at-Any-Price Bryan,
who is endeayoring to smother our
hard-pressed president with Vaporous
offerings about perennial peace.
Preparedness for war only engen-
ders war, says the leader of the doves
of peace. There is more danger in
arming ourselves than in remaining
unarmed unprepared and defenseless.
Away with preparedness We are on
good terms with the whole world, and
no nation would ever dream of at
lacking us. The idea is simply alb
surd, ridiculous, preposterous.-Maui
