A DATE.

One hundred and forty-two years
ago today, America decided the hour
had come to~free a liberty loving reo.
pie from 2the autocracy of the Old
World. Brother took up arms against
obrothett. 7,"Kith and kin opposed each
other and through the ordeal of war
new nation dedicated to liberty was
established.
Today we are involved in a greater
struggle, but for the same principles.
1t, is not q war Of national aggrand1
izement. But III it is not fought with
vigOr and determination, those prin-
ciples for which Paul Revere made
his famous ride may perish from the
earth.
Atsl) akasen a month of national
sorrow. as we'll as joy. More mo-
mentous steps have been taken by
the .1ulited T.. States. in the fourth
month of the year than during any
period.
Old Glory became the national flag
In April. War was declared upon
Mexico in April; Abraham Lincoln
was shot and died in April and Unit
ed States declared a state of war
with Spain and Germany in the his.
toric month of April.
History surely reveals no more in
teresting coincidence in the chronol-
ogy of national events.
One hundred and two years ago, in
April, the military autocracy Of Ma
poleon was given its first real body
blow and the dictator of Europe re-
tired to Elba in the same month.
On the eve. then, Of the celebra.
ton of the cattle of Lexington, a ma.
ton finds itself committed anew to
the cause of individual liberty. The
United States is entering the war to
reduce the possibility of war in the
future. Its quarrel is with ,Prussian
autocracy. If victory results, the
United States, the foremost republic,
will take part in the peace confer,
ence as the friend of the German peo-
pie and the foe of the H~ohenzollerns
or Prussian autocracy, whatever its
label.

New Ulm is fairly typical of Ger

peopled by men of German blood. and
its sympathies for race-brethren who
are fighting in Europe have been en-
tirely natural. But it is just as Amer

America declares its position and
takes lip it's share OF the war burden

THE CONGRESSIONAL VACANCY.

TIE VlNS 7.
(From Grand Forks Herald.)
Within a short time a special cleo.
ton will be held in the First Con
g%ressional district of this state to fill
the place in the North Dakota dele
cation recently made vacant by
death. There are some things to be
borne steadily in mind in this con-
nection.
Since the last election our nation
has become involved in the greatest
war ever waged on this planet. Ma
ton after nation has entered that
conflict, impelled to such action by
reasons more or less local, as we'll as
by those of a more general charac-
ter. But as the situation develops,
the local and incidental disappears,
and there stands forth the great fact
that the world is being shaken to it's
very foundations by the shock of a
titanic struggle between the forces
OF autocracy, seeking in a last des-
perate enterprise to strengthen their
grip and to secure to themselves for
generations an unlimited and irres-
ponsible power, and the forces Of de-
mocracy, seeking to establish for all
time on this earth the right of human
beings to enjoy the blessings of free
government and to enjoy in peace the
product of their own labors and the
fruits of their own enterprise.
The United States has become a
partner with the other great democ-
racies of the world in this struggle,
and, so far as the establishment of
the principles for which we contend
is concerned, the partnership is abso.
lutte and unlimited. We have enlisted
for the war, and there can be no
sheathing of the sword until ~conclus-
i've victory has been won. The con-
duct of Americas share in this war
is vested in the hands of the presi-
dent and congress. The president,
under the constitution, has supreme
military power and congress must
supply all the means whereby his au-
thority can be exercised effectively.
Under these conditions, the first
consideration in electing a member
OF congress is that the man elected

A moment on the roofs of the quiet

And the moonlight flowing over all.
Meanwhile, impatient to mount and
ride,
Footed and %.spurr'd, with a heavy
stride,
On the opposite shore walk'd Paul
Revere.
Now he pa1ted his horses side, 49,.
Now gazed on the landscape far and

Then, i%mpetuous, stamp'd the earth,
And turn'd and tighten'd his saddle
girth;
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket- ball.
You know the rest. In the books you
have read
How the British regulars fired and
fled;
How the farmers gave them ball for
ball,
From behind each fence and farm,
yard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge
again
Under the trees at the turn Of the
road, r y 4 9 "
And only pausing to fire and load.
So through the night rode Paul Re,

And so through the night went his

To every Middlesex village and
farm
A cry of defiance, and not Of fear
A voice in the darkness, a knock at
the door, -.
And a word thatsshall echo forever

Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness, and peril,

That was all. And yet, through the

The fate of a nation was riding that

And the spark struck out by that
steed, in his flight, ID
Kindled the land into fame with its

He heard the bleating Of the flock.
And the twitter of birds among the
trees,
And felt the breath of the morning

Blowing over the meadows brown.

It is a good thing for the country
that patriotism does not depend on
how we display the American flag.
Although many of the business

the city. But even at that we know
that Hatton is just jammed full Of
