not Z free'country; she Is a tool, and
Is being dictated to by the English"
Leutz was not returned to the senate,
but was repudiated by his own people
and his own political party. The peo'
pie Of Morton are loyal citizens OF
tho United States OF America.
1t comes with very bad grace, for
mon to be always finding fault with
our government and condemning 1t.
This government needs no praise
from the pen Of anyone. Her history
Is an open book that tho down.trod'
don OF all countries can read The
man who comes to your homo and
Dartakes Of your hospitality and your
favors day after day and year after
year, all the time planning the ruin
and the destruction of you and your
home, must be ten thousand times
more contemplate than the, one who
betrayed with a kiss or the, ,onea who
betrayed the Lord, for thirty pieces
Of silver. l. Justly found fault with
the sentiment that Leutx IL display
ing everywhere, and he comes back
It me with personal abuse showing
that mo man ever felt the, halter
draw with a good opinion Of the law"
Lincoln didn't ask Grant in 1861
how much taxes he paid, and yet
Grant did more for this country and
the world 1t large than 81 TIE Ikais'
ers and "Leutzes." ms n'"t
Leutz doesn't care so mac" about
peace. It is the kaiser that he Is, anx'
ious to save Just now. He talks Just
now about England holding up our
mail. I wonder II he wants TO get
word to the kaiser? I hope not, but 1t
10 quite evident that Leutz has tho
kaiser's safety at heart, and why?
He wants to know II I will 90 to war,
II We have It? ..... H.. .
You bet your life, I'll be right there
keeping an eye on Leutz. H.
wonder If he ever heard OF Henry
Ford! Ford is for peace without dis
honor. and is ready to give all his
vast wealth to the country he loves.
OF course, we do not court war. but
We cannot accept peace with dishonor
never. But I do wish Leutz would
stop throwing verbal bombs at this
grand and just nation Of ours. II We
must have war. I sincerely hope that
Uncle Sam will take treason by the
throat and throttle It to death. !
know all the Germans here are loyal
and true, but why shouldn't they be?
No government on earth ever did as
much for humanity and for everyone
who comes here, as this republic, ana
in return she only asks loyalty. be-
lieve It Is the destiny Of America to
wipe out all kings and kaisers and
have the peoples o. tho world select
their own rulers;'SiettN come!
hope Leuts 2fwid2ssbmss again. I
have behind me 1Oo,ooo.0oo Ameri-
cans with brave hearts and strong
arms, and they are all dead In love
with Uncle Sam-and have no use
for king or kaiser.

song.

PREPARE At ALL COSTS.

Anyway, whether we get into war
or keep out of it. there is no need to
show the white feather, to try to side
step the inevitable, or to fool our
selves as to the actual facts around
us.
To fake up situation that doesn't
exist and then prepare a policy to fit
the fake is just to be walking in our
sleep.
1t is dead sure that Germany will
never respect any peaceful palaver,
any suggestion Of compromise, or any
philandering stuff about disloyal SEN
timent in the United States, such as
Secretary Daniels lately allowed to be
sent to German newspaper.

peace, real security and real progress
that we show to Germany now that

This Congress ought not to adjourn
without taking every necessary step
to dispose of the German hallucina-
lions about Americans as easy marks
and good things
1t ought to vote full credits to put
the nation into a state Of defense
and it ought to provide for an army
in which all of us shall have our part.
1t ought to show to the world a coun-

afraid.

ANSWER TO PAClFlS1S.

During the past week the country
has been flooded with literature from
the headquarters of the peace-at-any.
pricers urging that the question of
our future relations with Germany be
decided by national referendum.
Particularly it is demanded that no
matter what Germany does to us, we
shall commit no hostile act against
Germany. until everybody in the Unit
ed States has voted yes or no. g.
There has not occurred tosus' nor
have we seen anywhere more COM
plete answer to the whole peace-at-
any-price propaganda than that OF
George w. Wickersham. who was at
torney general in President Taft's
cabinet.
We take the liberty of reprinting
the Wickersham answer from the New
York Times: fst&
III Il Il Feb. Is, 1917.
MISS crystal EdStHldu,
Munsey Building.
Washington. D. c.:
Dear Madam:
am in receipt of postcard from
you inviting an expression of opinion
upon an annexed return card to be
sent to my congressman. The open
ing note on this answering postcard
says:
'In modifying her war zone note.
Germany has offered safe passage for
all American passenger ships which
keep to prescribed course and which
our government guarantees free from
contra6and."
This statement is so misleading, so
essentially false, that the answers to
the subsequent question afford no op-
portunity for the expression of an in
formed public opinion on the issues
between Germany and ourselves.
The so-called "safe passage for all
American passenger ships is, as
matter of fact, an offer to permit one
ship to pass through the prohibited
zone under conditions so offensive to
any wholesome national self-respect
that / marvel that any person calling
himself an American can regard them
as worthy of one moments considera-
lion.
If our nation has sunk to that state
" fabby pacifism which would make
{ possible to consider the offer OF
Germany as anything but an insult,
hen il would deserve the fate which
efalls ali nations whose fibre is rot

Increase the Acreage Of Sweet
PotQtoes--- Time Not0 TO Flar5

Washington, d. {. May S-Seed to
plant an acre of Irish potatoes cost
about sac this spring. Seed sweet
potatoes will not cost more than 81
ner acre where vine cuttings taken
from early-set plants are used. The
Weld OF sweet potatoes per acre IS
usually greater than that OF Irish 20
tatoes and as q food they are as Eu-
tritious. Sweet pQtatees may be
grown throughout the southern states
and. of course, iii certain other sec
tons. Specialists in the L. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture are urging an
increased acreage Of this crop wher-
ever it can he easily grown.
Sweet potatoes it is pointed cut,
are the souths chief instrument for
quick and effective increase OF the
food supply. Seed is pletniTul; last
years crop was the second largest
ever produced By means Of vine cat
yings it is possible TO plant almost
unlimited acreas Of this crop and at
the same time conserve the present
supply. That is, a farmer who wishes
to plant 10 acres will bed seed enough
say s to 10 bushels-tO get slips for
one acre. Vine cuttings from this
acre would plant many more acres,
paintings being possible until the
first Of August in the lower south.
This system, now widely used in the
south. enables the utilization of land
from which early potatoes, cabbage,
and other truck crops have been ia
ken.
Sweet potatoes are not expensive TO
grow. The man limiting factor to the
production of vast quantities by this
plan is labor. Yields from fields set
with vine cuttings are as large as
from plants from slips. This method
has the further advantage of prevent
ing the TRANSFER OF diseases which ire
carried on tie tubers
The south doesn't need to learn
how o grow sweet potatoes, the speci-
alsts point out Farmers konw how
to produce large yields Of this crop.
But the farmer must be impressed
with the necessity Of increasing his
acreage OF this crop, and then, when
harvest cones, to prevent the enor-
nous loss from improper handling and
storing. The best way to keep sweet
potatoes is to store them in well-yen-
tiIated storage houses, not "dugouts."
Storage houses should be made ready
as soon as possible In Farmers Bull
lcun 54S, Storing and Marketing
Sweet potatoes" Instructions for build
ing such houses and for converting
old and unoccupied building are given.

Now that the new legislature is get
ting dow. to business it is to be hoped
that they will not follow in the tracks
of the 1915 bunch and cut off the bills
and journals from distribution over the
state as in former times. Before the
session of 1915 it was always custo-
mary to mail certain limited number
of copies of all house and senate bills
and journals to the various communi-
ties throughout the state This was
done so that the people back home
could have some intelligent idea OF
what was going on Two years ago
it was impossible to know much about
the doings up there. If the present
lawmakers will cut down the size OF
the pay roll and spend a little Of the
money so saved to acquaint the gen
eral public with their doings, it vii
be Heartily appreciated in many guar,
tiers.

For many moons men, women and
children have been accustomed to re-

After load of the booze circulars
