WHAT is AMERICAS AIM IN NAR7'

Questions entirely proper and vitality
important before the war became idle
Immediately after the war was declared
One of those is the question forever in
the mouths OF the LaFollettes and Of
that ilk: What terms will the L. 5.
demand in making peace? What will
the United States demand"
There IS no occasion TO attempt to
answer those questions. In the first
place our business at present is to win
the war and be able to dictate peace
terms, That is our first and main bust
ness and We have set about it at last
and intend to put in full day at it,
In the second place thoSe questions for

FIGHT GERMANY OR GO THERE.

Space is given today to an appea
Tama county, who is very well known
in the Times Republican office. Whef
the Y. NJ. C. A. canvassers raised 6
double war fund subscription in Tams
county the assessment was $500 fol
each eighty acres of land. One tight
listed American born farmer owning g
| thousand acres or more refused to give
more than $500 and he was called q
miser by the committee, but when i
| German American acted tight" he was
| promptly branded as dlsloyal. The To-
| yal American citizen OF German birth
/ thinks that the public is too harsh to-
ward German Americans with it's sus-
| picion.
His point is we'll taken only in part
It is true that the American born
Stacker was just as disloyal as the
man born in Germany who refused to
do a citizens full duty but the Amerl-
can born could get away because his
loyalty vas not under suspicion. The
adopted child always has the odds
against il and that calls for greater
care in controlling conduct. The man
born in Germany, who has adopted the
United States for his country, should
come out in the open and say so and
then prove it. Having done that there
would no longer be suspicion. Many
have done so and are counted as pa
triots.
When the colonies declared their in
dependence from an English king and
created land Of freedom to which so
many have since come from Germany
TO escape the evils of militarism in
their native land 1t was English born
parents who fought English soldiers
for the freedom that was finally won
When a faction in this country tried
10 destroy the government which had
been set up to guarantee freedom? anl
self government in this land, brothers
fought against brothers and sons
against fathers.
Today the United States is at Was
with Germany. Il the kaiser wins dem
ocracy ends That militarism which
drove Germans TO emigrate to the
United States Will have been fastened
upon the free land of their adoption
The time has arrived for every man OF
German descent 20 defy the German
government Of the kaiser which drove
him or his fathers away. The hour
has, struck for him TO fight for the
family in which he is living, the family
which has adopted him or ne should go
back TO the country from which he
came. There is no neutral ground.
He must fight Germany with his heart
and his purse as his sons should fight
with their lives.
Whenever an American citizen who
was born in Germany comes out openly
with declarations OF his willingness 70
ng0L lot MS dnOpted leiiu anu pio'S"
it with his support IN no half hearted
way he will command the respect OF
all his neighbors. Half hearted, fore
ed loyalty will cast him into the shad-
ow Of suspicion which comes from the
disIoyal acts OF whole communities OF
slackers Of German descent whose dis
loyalty is no less reasonable because
they manage to keep within the pale
Of the law. And there have been
German American to prove his loyal
~ by his acts. That is his burden in
this war. If his heart is loyal he will
enjoy the proving of it.

Rev. Wallace NJ. Short. an unattached
Sioux City minister is flirting with the

ranged a special service for the fol-
lowers of that creed, to be held Sunday
morning. If Rev. Mr. Short were moved
only by desire to apply reformatory

be better understood. But that Is not
the fundamental idea. He blandly ar

Conditions That Have Bred a Desire

The I. W. W. creed Is born in Grim
inal instinct and bred OF laziness, and
1t is an insult TO human intelligence to
treat 1t as legitimate economic ques-
ton Regardless Of superficial indica-
tons as to the peacefulness of u. w. w.
members In Sioux City. the organiza-
ton which they are helping TO maintain
and support is conducting a systematic
campaign for the Gripping and de-
struction OF legitimate industries.
Every member Of the organization is
willing participant IN that sabotage
and aids the work directly or indirectly.
Within the past week members OF the
I. w. w. have confessed to incendiary
fires in the vicinity OF Aberdeen, S. ID.
Correspondence and evidence seized
when they were arrested showed that
an extensive campaign had been
mapped out. The manager OF the En-
pire Elevator Company, at Lennon.
S. D., stated few days ago that an
average OF four elevators a day are
being destroyed in the northwest. This
statement followed the burning Of three
elevators at Lennon and one at Hecla.

Superficial pretenses about main
tanning order do not count in the case
Of the I. w. w. The creed OF that or
ganization includes lawlessness an,
property destruction. 1t Is reasonable
to assume that men and women who
adhere to the organization also adhere
to the creed. Sioux City Is a convent
ent working point for spreading propa-
ganda lies, and FOR carrying out
campaign OF sabotage in a prosperous
agricultural district. It Is to the
business" interests Of the organization
to avoid clashes with the law here. The
various distributing headquarters need
to be kept in working order.
Among the effects from the !. w.
w. members arrested at Aberdeen was
an official /. w. W. song book. Those
songs fairly shout eed.tion, atheism
anarchy and sabotage. In order to
make the j. W. w. meeting Sunday
morning impressivey realistic, Rev. Mr.,
Short should have some OF the "reds"
give a few selections from their own
hymnal. The satirical parody, Chris
tians at War" should prove especially
inspiring. Two verses Of this standard
I. w. w. song are herewith appended
and the three remaining verses will be
furnished II desired

has an excellent example in the execu-
tive of Illinois If he means business.
In this war business, action speaks
louder than words. II fact action IS
about the only form Of effective ex-

however explains that the operators
fear politics is the incentive.
The trial Of Wegner for that motor

always to operate against society. II

essentials on the junk heap. The boys
should come back to better state than
they left.
When comparing the effectiveness Of
German subs with the moral effective
ness Of the allies we should rcmcm-
Der that the only nations interested in
sinking carrier ships are the central

been to keep the ships afloat. A ship

tions of American ships This course
was not pursued under advice of the ship

suited at all and there is reason to be-
lieve that it would not have approved the

the steamer Algonquin but apparently
missed his mark, for that vessel was
bought last fall by the American Star
line of New York of the Canadian Steam
ship company and transferred at that
time, although she is recent purchase
of her present owner, At least, that is
the story told by John Stephanidis of
the firm of Stephanidis, Benas & Co, the
owners of the steamer As the admins
tration already had decided that the
sinking of the Algonquin did not change
the issue between the United States and
Germany, the curiosity of Senator Stone

Physicians and pharmacists have long
known the desirability and difficulty of
combining iron--a superlative tonie--ln

The combination of the iron with
Hoods Sarsaparilla has now been secured
through the happy thought of prescrib.
ing Peptiron Pills in connection with the
Sarsaparilla - the latter before eating,
Peptiron Pills after.
In this way the two medicines work
tremendously, giving four-fold results in
blood cleansing and up.building.
peptiron Pills include pepsin and iron,
