so obsessed with his hero-worship Of
Bob LaFollette that it begins to ap-
pear that he represents neither North
Dakota nor the nation, simply Bob
LaFollette. Even the other four who
voted against the nation had theories
upon which they builded to ARRIVE at
their conclusion. But no man can &C.
cuse Gronna of even having q theory.
He simply represented his idol, the &C.

Robinson, of the supreme court, ap-
pears to be making double record.
On legal questions where his personal
eccentricities do not befog his vision,
he seems to be doing well. However,
for instance, where he must give up
any of his personal liberty ideas,
etc., q stone wall of law couldn't stop
him. The pool-room episode of last
winter explains that. Then, too, his
ideas on religion are unique and strict
ly his own. His last Saturday night
letter dwells at length on the fallacies
of the Bible. Something seems to
have excited him over the story of
Jonah and the whale. Then, too, u
frequent expression of his refers to
talking like whale" For some rea-
son, the old Judge is touchy on the
matter Of whales. In addition, he
delights in pulling scoop" on the
rest of the Court by publishing his
verdict in cases tried before them be-
fore the others have come to decis.
ion. In one instance, it seems that he
made such speed that he published his
opinion on an important case before
the Court had considered the briefs OF
both sides. In last weeks letter he
also devotes some considerable space
to the devil, assuring his readers that
when he passes on, he will cordially
greet the devil and will expect like
cordial greeting in return.

The United States has reached the

poibt WHeTe ~ IL again eHSaReu III u
great war. AS yet, the fact has hard
~ been brought home to US. Especial
ly in the smaller towns and the coun-
try of the Northwest, there is but lit
tie to remind us in daily life Of the
great events that are taking place. In
the larger cities, however, and in the
communities where there are impor-
tant ammunition works, ETC., the
American people already understand.
In addition, any day will bring news
that will rock the nation from the At
!antic to the Pacific. What it will be,
none of us can foretell. 1t is safe
bet, however, that Germany will not
miss the first opportunity to strike
blow that will make talk throughout
the world. We can look for something
spectacular rather than actually SER
surprisingly well-developed organiza
ton in Mexico and an attack on our
border. 1t may be II sudden submarine
raid on some port. 1t may be an at
tempt TO terroriZe the nation by an
air attack Of some kind. Or it may be
the sinking of vessels only. But look
for the worst. We have been taught
in the last three years that the Ger
mans are resourccful, and that their
great delight is the accomplishments
bordering on the theatrical.
Remember how suddenly one day u
German war submarine audaciously
poked its nose up out of one of our
harbors, how it gave the enemy sufii-
cicnt time to determine its wherea-
bouts, and how calmly it made it's way
out And what it's important mission
to thus tempt its enemies we have
never heard. Remember, too, the big
Deutschland that twice steamed into
our eastern ports with cargoes from
Germany. And, too, the daring APP
pam incident.
We state these things that our peo-
pie may be warned. Another thing:
Generally speaking, the Germantown
citizens, torn between sympathy for
the Fathcrland and duty to their
adopted country, are with the United
States for better or for worse. But
there are exceptions. The occasional
Prussian bud will be found whose
Americanism is but thin veneer.
And when the unexpected happens,
look out for him. He may lead 9th
ers into doing or saying that which
might bring trouble untold.
II the first fortunes Of war bring
reverses to our cause, let US keep cool
If we may be permitted to do those
things that will gladden. the hearts Of
millions of loyal Americans, it is but
natural that our demeanor will reflect
our happy spirits. But, remember
through it all, especially where the
population is so mixed, that perhaps
our thoughtless words or acts may be
bringing untold misery to others at
our elbows. We believe that any per-
son who will do the least ti.:.''- AZ

True the strain was great, puu"1y
must be met by the great. A woman
who would be congresswoman should
be willing to face that ordeal. Her
vacllating manner is not all that is to
be noted: Her sentiments themselves
tell a tale. ~ want to stand by my
country, but can't vote for war" Is
MT the situation pitiful? There sits
in Congress woman who is honest
before God and upright before the
world, bht she. undertook more than
she knew when she aspired so high.
Not all women would have weak
ened as did Miss Rankin; but the ac-
ton Of Miss Rankin, who happened
to be the one, will be looked to for
years as the type.
1t is not fair to try the suffrage
cause by the showing of its first pro-
duct in the national Congress, but in
reality such viii be the case, gener-
ally speaking.
