WILL THEY NEVER LEARN?

Will the foreigners never learn the character of the American people Will other governments never under stand the nature of this government? Will emperors and kings and potent ates never come to know that there is such thing as honor upon which re- publics are founded-that We are open and above-board and just in dealing with all people?
 Here is the German emperor detain- ing an American ambassador until he is assured that we are going to release his own ambassador-as if ever we had any other intention. He is hold ing American citizens as hostage for fear we may mistreat subjects of his own government-as if the Germans now in this country were not enjoying all of the privileges of welcome visi- tors with never an insult offered them, with never threat of harm to them, with never an unEind word hurl- ed at them.
 And now it becomes necessary for the president to assure foreigners that even in the event of war with any other nation, the private property of private citizens of that country will not be confiscated-a thing that no sane American ever thought of Such things are matters of the old-World monarchies; they are not dreamt of in such governments as this. But the old-world monarchies will never understand.
 Throughout this unholy struggle America has committed no crime against any other nation, or against the people of any other nation. In fact, we have borne much from all of the billigerents- than would have been borne by any of them. But we have so hated strife that we have been forbearing almost beyond the point of reason.
 We know our rights-and shall in sist upon them. They are not special privileges that we are seeking. We ask nothing that the laws of the nations have not already granted. We insist upon no favors being shown us. We seek no advantage over other nations. But we have arrived at point where we can forbear no longer. So we have laid down course which we shall pursue, rational course which any self-respecting nation must pursue if it hopes to continue to be self-respect- ing We are still hopeful that we shall escape the necessity of taking up arms. War is the last resort of man or beast-a destroying evil that wreeks alike the individual and the nation But the old-world monarchs can not understand us. The people of the old-world, trained under duplicity known as diplomacy, are eager to sus- pect us of having ulterior motives. No other line of reasoning can account for the destruction of ships in our ports nor for the threat of foreigners to withdraw their money from our banks lest the government eonfiscate it.-Southwest American.

THIS WORD TO FARMERS

By President Wilson, I take the liberty, therefore, of
addressing this word the farmers of the country and
all who work the farms: The supreme need of
nation and of the nations with which cooperating is
abundance of supplies, and especially of foodstus The
importance of adequate food supply, especially for the
present year, is superlative.
Without abundant food alike for the armies and the peo-
pies war; the whole great enterprise upon which
have embarked will break down and fail
The worlds food low. Not only during the
present emergency but for time after peace shall have
both people and large proportion of the peo-
pie of Europe must rely the harvests in America.
Upon the farmers of this country therefore, large
measure rests the fate of the and the fate of the nations
May the nation count upon them to omit step that
will increase the production of their land that will bring
the eectua cooperation in the sale and dsbu
ton of their products?
The time is short. 1t is of the most imperative mpor-
lance that everything possible be done and done Immediately
to make of large avess. call upon young and
old alike and upon the abeboded boys of the land accept
and upon this duyto turn IN hosts to the farms and
make certain that pains and labor is lacking in this
great matter.

"NONE TOO SOON :"

Very helpful the plain and simple short addresses
delivered by President Van Hse, Prof. Mack and Dean
Russell to the assembled printers and publishers Madison
on Friday of last week While the great world cannot
be won with Words good generashp is essential only
the battle but in the field of industrial activity home
Great workers in the worlds work, the speakers this
occasion clearly mapped the important work set
before the people Of the state and nation
In closing his address DR.. Van Hse told in plain and
stirring words why the people of these United States have
entered into the greatest in human history because
we have been rresstaby forced into it. This nation could
not have lived the land Of the free and the home of the

WAR AGAINST KAISER, AND NOT
AGAINST GERMANS

Senator Paul O. Husting rightly in
insists upon President Wilson's conten-
ton that this is not war against the
German people but war against Ger
man autocracy. Senator Husting says
1.-The world is turning with irresist-
ible momentum to a world democracy,
and the rulers Of the world recognize
that the logic of events is bound soon
to substitute governments Of, by and
for the people in place of governments
Of, by and for kaisers, czars and kings. >
1t is we'll to remember that if Schurz,
Siegel and the men who fought with
them in the Civil war were alive today
they wonld be foremost leaders IN the
present great battle for democracy.

CONDITION OF CROPS
IMPROVED BY RAINS
Ideal Weather Helps Winter
Wheat; West Is Aided.

Chicago, May 22.-Crop conditions
are highly favorable. Winter wheat
has experienced ideal weather for the
past two or three weeks and the
heavy rains which fell over Sunday
was just what the plant needed to
carry it through to maturity. In Kan
sas, the crop is heading and the mois-
ture will insure good heads as we'll as
plump berry.
The northwest was getting dry and
the relief afforded the spring wheat
plant by the rains will start the new
crop in most favorable manner The
movement of wheat is still of fair vol
ume and local arrivals are estimated
at IS cars. Northwest wheat receipts
were SIS cars, compared with 400
cars last year. Winnipeg received 70
cars, compared with 1921 cars last
year. Arrivals in the Canadian market
of late compare favorably with the
record breaking movement of last
year.
Minneapolis wheat stocks decreased
100000 bu. for two days. Worlds ship
ments last week were 7,865,0O0 bu
compared with 12,676,0OO bu. last year.
Australia shipped 100000 bu last
week, which indicates that an effort
is being made to move the surplus in
that country to cOnsumptive chan
nels. Liverpool spot wheat was dull.

PRESS POINTS


Lancaster Herald: To those who are still
inclined to pettifog over the issues leading up
to the crisis, who find spacious reasons for the
government 5 not doing this or doing that who
argue that men should be raised for defensive
purp oses and not for aggression-to all these
many are patriotic but not truly aware Of the
situations gravity-it must be said that the
time has come for prompt alignment under
the flag.
Bloomington Record: The bill providing for
CONSUMPTION for service in the army passed
both the House and Senate last Saturday, after
a week of debate. by an overwhelming majority,
and the idea seems to meet with great approval
on all sides. A good common sense argument
adopting the volunteer method of raising an
army than there would be to adopt volunteer
system Of taxation for paying the expenses of
the war.
Lancaster Herald: Senator Roethe has shown
a most commendable spirit IN his legislative
activities this year and his paper has not been
afraid to take strong American stand. The
slogan, next year Bobby, will be ''Anything to
beat John NJ. Nelson" Henry may be the man
to do it if he can carry the east end. Get busy.
Henry with your legomobile in Dane county.
Don't be afeared.
Richland Democrat: It matters not what vour
opinion was in regard t war before this United
States entered into it. it is now your duty TO do
all you can, with all your might, to helm make
this unuleasantness come to an early end. We
are actually at war and we must be I'D and
doing.

The Best Flag That Floats.

Chippewa Falls Independent: In all
the world there is no flag more inspiring
than the Stars and Strips; the fairest symbol of
unstained honor, after more than a century of
national life and international relations. Life
and service under that flag is a priceless priv
ilege and a guarantee of good faith in peace
and war. Loyalty to that flag is the supreme
duty, not only to the American republic, but to
the cause of government by the consent of the
governed and liberty and democracy throughout
the world. Under this flag Americans Of Ger
man ancestry and birth with the countless
millions of other origins, have found a rev
freedom, which to conserve and maintain is
enough to have lived for and if need be to have
suffered and to have died for. Above and be-
yond the glory of empire and the the achieve
ments of military power lies the higher duty
to the cause OF truth and 1.-The righteousness
that exalteth nation
