Instead Of making smaller profits in
consequence of a greater tax on to-
bacco the manufacturers will reap
larger ones. Smaller quantities for
the same money and more cabbage
leaves and hay intermixed will enable
the robbers to do this. AS in all cases
where revenues have been advanced
the public will not only foot the bills
but enable the greedy trusts to de-
clare bigger dividends.

Editor Steinhauser of the New Ulm
Review refused to float the Stars and
Stripes from his office at the recent
patriotic" rally because he is opposed
to the actions of Governor Burnquist.
A very poor excuse, indeed, to evade
manifesting his loyalty to the United
States. The real reason was that the
governor had refused to appoint Stein
hauser to an oil inspectorship.

There is one thing that the average
country newspapermen need not worry
about, and that is the income tax.
With the high cost of print paper, the
high cost of provisions and the high
cost Of help-in fact of everything
connected with newspaper drudgery-
a 5,OOO-diameter microscope would
scarcely disclose an annual income of
80 cents clear of expenses.

Being short Of coal, Sweden is now
compelled to. exchange it's iron ore
with Germany for that product. Hence
an effort is being made by the Swe-

America in return for coal. But here's

safely shipped to the United States

In some parts of the United States
the teaching of German in the public
schools has been prohibited. Being at
war with Germany is of course good
grounds for this prohibition from a
loyal standpoint, but we are unable to

is harmful unless. it be in schools
which discriminate against the Ian
guage Of France, Italy, etc. -

RARE JOHN LIND.

John Lind is always and ever a
true blue American. Politically, in
recent years, we have disagreed with
him, but personally we entertain none
but the friendliest feelings for him,
and have ever regarded him as a high
minded gentleman and one Of Mime
sofas really big men. His patriotism
no one can question.
At great patriotic meeting in
Saltwater Mr. Lind gave utterance to
remarks that all Americans of for
eign birth would do we'll to read and
ponder over. Mr.. Lind said in part:
when l picked up Sunday morn
ing's paper and read the. Argentine
dispatches, I was astonished to see
that the government Of Sweden had
permitted itself to become the lackey
of the kaiser-to fetch and carry for
Germany in violation of diplomatic
usage and, I believe, in violation of
international law.
eff the Swedish government did this
advisedly, the allied nations cannot
ignore it's action or attitude.
Gas a citizen of Swedish blood I
should deplore trouble between our ma
ton and Sweden, but you men in this
audience Of Swedish blood and descent
must remember that we are not of the
Swedish household. Whatever kindly
feelings we may have towards the
people of Sweden, we say to them that
unless they choose to have a govern
ment in harmony with the aspirations
Of the free peoples of the earth they
must suffer the consequences of the
actions Of their rulers. AS to us
Americans of Swedish blood or
descent, they are our friends in peace;
aye, more than friends, for they are
kindred. But in war, if such should
come-which God forbid-they are
enemies.
IT know little about Swedish politics,
but l do not believe for a moment that
public sentiment in Sweden justifes
such action as was taken by it's gov
eminent in Buenos Aires. I am rather
inclined to think that the attitude of
the government which made such &C.
ton possible was influenced by dynas-
tic affiliations. Greece at one time,
not long ago, had German queen.
H Her husband is no longer king of
Greece.
'"Fo these boys who are going to
France. I want to say that they are
going into war with clean hands and
a great cause. I felt at first, three
years ago, that if this war was one for
commercial supremacy between the
nations Of Europe, let dog eat dog;
let them fight it out. Then I saw that
something bigger was involved the
very life of humanity; that the ques-
ton was, shall humanity be ruled by
the men and women who make it, or
~ few selfconstituted autocrats? !
"Some of these young men may die
n the attempt to drive autocracy from
he world; but if their elders had not
lied for freedom we would not be free
men today. If this war is won by
orussian autocracy it means a stand
ng army of millions for US and for
'ther countries to protect our future
tights and interest," IT. is matter Of
common sense and prudence to have
t over now, for whatever it costs to
vim it, it will cost more to lose it or
lot to fight it at all. i
ut is a just war and holy war, and
O the boys who are entering it I say
Tod be with you, for you are playing
he part of men and of humanitarians."

A Mighty Poor Bill

Senator Saulsbury's bin to throw open
American ports to Entente ships engaged
in putting down Gerrnany's submarine
warfare is premature and loaded with
folly.

an ally of England. We have right on
our side in our disagreement with Ger
many. We should not wantonly sacrifice
these things.
Any special favors to any Of the En-
tente powers to aid them in warning on
Germany would justify the latter in de-
claring war on Us. If We go into the
bloody business Of war. we want all the
justification on our side. We can have
it, If we are not foolish.

To get self-respect must do those

Self-respect, therefore, goes back TO

IL you ask what gain by being good,
by doing what is just and fair, I answer:
| gain my own self-respect. which brings
with il a sense of satisfaction.
This means happiness, the very foun-
dation of all happiness; for without .
feeling of self-approval any other pleas
ures rest on basis of concealed wretch
edness.
Many are gloomy. restless, pessimistic,
and profoundly miserable. and do not
know why. II is because they do not
respect themselves.
| am an eternal companion Of myself.

from. IL l despise this me with whom
l am doomed to live all my days, how

How, then, can have self-respect?

you are comfortable with yourself.
Suppose, therefore, you pause, amidst

spiritual stew you are in, just suppose
you pause and say:
