THE FIRST SNOWFALL.

Cheer up, dear reader, we are not
going to burst into poetry. You shall
hear nothing about diamond nakct'
or stainless purity" All we wish
to do is to explain that thrill that hit
us-and you-when' you looked out OF
the window and gasped, It's snow
ing!"
When it actually snows-what mat
ter if the lawn grass is still green and
the red leaves still cling to the trees
we know winter is just around the
corner. We have to do mental half
turn and adjust ourselves to over
coats and furnace fires and all the
trappings of the season.
On the way to the office the cold
wind warned us to stop in and order
that extra coal. When we arrived the
Office boy was discovered surrepti
tiously polishing pair Of hockey
skates-and when the snow came
everyone in the place stopped min
ute and gazed outdoors with that Sc
cret thrill.
when you were a youngster thai
thrill began. One gloomy day wher
your nose was fiat against the window
pane the flakes began to fall. For 6
long time it only made the pavement
wet Then white flake chung there
and another here, and another on top
and you shouted, Mother! it's begin
ming to stick" That was the great
mOment-when you were sure enough
of it would stick to bring that rec
sled out Of the attic.
Just play the game.
Be glad.

A recent piece of news not only

There is no use burking the facts

RAILROAD CLERKS
. GET INCREASE IN PAY

The clerks of the Northern Pacific
railway have received schedule of
eight hours of work per day instead
of 10 and u, as has been the custom
in the past. They also will receive
an increase in pay of approximately
Is per cent. The new schedule was
announced Monday morning, but the
increase in pay will not take effec,
until December. It is understood the
new arrangement takes in the station
employees of every vocation, clerks,
freight handlers and checkers.
During the past year or two there
has been great dissatisfaction among
the clerical employees of the company
on account OF the long hours and
small wages received. The Clerks
union on the N. P. threatened a strike,
but the officials of the company ar
ranged the raise before the date set
for strike arrived. The clerks were
to have struck Monday morning.

DENNY Is RIGHT!

The wrong kind of partisanship dis
played by the Nonpartisan league in
North Dakota in sending to congress
a socialist, single-taxer, pro-German
and free-trader recalls the sententious
judgment pronounced some 80 years
ago by Denny Hannifin. What North
Dakota needs most" said Denny, "is
more political graveyards. They would
enrich the soil and purify the air."
Also, it might be remarked of present
day conditions, they would eliminate

PLAY ON RACE PREJUDICE.

For 40 years Germany mas Deen lhe
hotbed of race prejudice. Teaching or
racial 'superiorities and inferiOrlties
was part of the Prussian game 1t
was necessary in order to poison the
German mind with the belief that
they were chosen people, called for
world domination.
Only in Germany were the fantastic
theories of racial development, spun
by pseudo scientists on the basis OF
the evolution theory and the discoV-
cry of the Aryan language afllnities,
taken seriously. What was wild
amusement of faddists in other lands
became part Of German statecraft,
education and religion.
Germany invented the yellow
peril 1t was Bismarck who first
voiced the idea that western Europe
might again suffer a Tartar INVASION
While breeding nation of white
Huns, German statesmen sought to
conjure up another menace of yellow
Huns, probably to blind Americans
and Englishmen to their own inter-
ests and real peril.
Germany's forcible seizure of Chi
nese territory and her coercion of ia
pan after the Chino-Japanese war in
the nineties were justified on the
ground of thwarting the yellow
perir her statesmen had manufac-
thred. $t&c@ a. " Il.
K, Germany was the stamping ground
of anti.Semitism. Jews were discrim-
mated against financially and socially
up to the very beginning of the war,
and it was practically impossible for
a Jew to obtain commission in the
Prussian army. 1t was the Baltic
German clique in the cars court that
invented Russian antiSemitism and
the pogroms.
Likewise it was in Germany that
the doctrine of the degeneracy OF the
Latin or Mediterranean races was first
started on its vicious journey around
the world.
1t is shameful to remember but this
German-implanted idea was wide
spread in the United States after the
Spanish war. Returning students from
German universities and readers of
Max Nordau's absurd books helped
make it popular The doctrine is
dead now. 1t vanished in the battle
smoke of the Marine, never to lift its
head again.
At the outbreak of the war German
agents in the United States did all
they could to arouse race prejudice
in the United States against the allies
by harping on the Japanese alliance
and the use of Indian and African
troops by France and Britain-while
they themselves were arming the
lovely Turk for his onslaught on Chris
tianity.
And now the mask has been
stripped off the German propaganda
of race prejudice.
The self-proclaimed champions OF
white supremacy against the colored
races or the "decadent" Latins have
been caught trying to foment race
revolt and massacre of the white PEG
pie of the southern states.
Disappointed by the entrance Of
America into the war and the end of
the dream of world domination, the
big German newspapers dominated by
the Krupps are demanding for the
future an alliance of Germany, Rus
STA, Japan, Turkey and China to es-
tablish a world dominion and to down
the hated Anglo-Saxon alliance
In passing it should be remembered
that the myth of Anglo-Saxon racial
solidarity was also made in Ger
many" and the world itself was mint
ed there. Historically it has no justi-
fication.
