The Kaiser's PRAYER

Colt, Colt! dear Colt, attentions
please,
Your bardner ViIhelm's here
Und has word or two to say
Indo your private ear;
So durn away all udders now
Und listen veil to me
For vat say concerns me much
Und you and Shermany.
You know dear Colt, vas your
friendt,
Und from mein hour of birth
always let you rule der Heffen,
Vile shust ruled der earth,
Und ven told mine soldiers
Of by-gone battle days,
gladly take der glory,
But spelt wild you der praise.
In every way tried to prove
Mein heart to you vas true,
Und only claimed mein honest
share
In great deeds vot We do;
You could not hat a better friendt
In sky, or land or sea,
Dan Kaiser Wilhelm, number two,
De Lord Won Shermony,
So vot say, dear Colt, is dis;
Dat we should still be friendts,
And you should help to send my
foes
To meet der bitter endt;
If you dear Gott vii dis much do
I'll nothing ask again,
And you and vii bardners be
For evermore. Amen.
But listen Gott, it must be quick,
Your help to me you send,
Or else 1 hat to stop attack
Und only play defend:
So four and twenty yours l gif
To make der Allies run,
Und put me safe into mein blac,
Der middle of der Sun"
If you do dis, I'll do my bart,
I'll tell der world der fact
But if you don't, den I must tink
1t is Elm hostile act
Den war at once I vii declare
Und in mein anger rise,
And send mein Zepp'lin shops to
wage
A fight up in der skies,
Tis ultimatum, now, dear Colt
Is vun of many more.
Mein mind is settled up to clean
Der whole world off der floor;
Because you vas mein bardner,
Colt,
And extra chance is giffen,
So help at once, or else you find
Me Emperor Won Heffen.

That most excellent paper the Minneapolis Journal.
has gone dead the subject of school aid
and that excellent governor A. Burnquist has
also gone dead wrong but appears be making a
honest effort to remedy his mistakes by appointing
commission to examine the whole subject AS matter
of fact the Journal and the have perhaps I'm
knowingly, Joined hands with political cIackers
who denOunce the state better schools
as an attempt to take from the people their
troll of schools Thus the system of state aid
from all sides, and it is almost any plan
assaed by contradictory interests is essentially
sallabe The whole scheme of state aid is predcated
on the proposition that the whole state not one lit
every boy and girl state High schools are given
special aid to encourage stronger recon-
pense the district for admitting tuition pupils from
outside the district State aid is granted graded and
country schools in return for raising the school to
tain Standard Naturally the largest aid goes to the
richest DISTRICTS rather to the districts that will spend
the necessary money to comply with the required stan
dards. The whole system has been growth and has
been improved from time to time, only four years ago
material changes having been made under advise
number of the best school in the state The on1v
criticism which be urged against system with
any color Of merit is that it make the strong
school stronger without corresponding improvement
the part of the weak school people of the
district do not themselves take the proper interest in
education This is regrettabIe but will be necessary
to repeal some laws more fundamental than en-
acted by the Minnesota legislature prevent the better
things in this world going those who make the neces-
sary effort to get them When the whole system is in
vestigated, the governors committee will find that if
the state of Minnesota is going encourage education
aid practically worked out. The governor will Of
course accept the findings of his committee and that will
let him out and the Minneapolis Journal should take
new tack and get in the right side too

Who Are the German sympathizers?


If Kaiser William and his coerie of self appointed
represent what the world regards German
there few indeed in the United States who may
be called German sympathizers
if the battletorn fathers and sons and the dis
tressed mothers and daughters of that fair land the
who have been dragged into cruel for no rea-
but to Justify the maintenance of mill
ary system against which there had begun to be such
changs threaten its continuance, then the German
sympathizers America may be numbered almost the
taking of the census.
And the nearly universal verdict Of the world
that the Kaiser and his party do not
German people, and it appears, by all
conclusions that the Kaiser and his party the
worst enemies the German people have; it shows the
American people to be almost to unit German-sym-
pathizing nation.
Humanity's chief work now is Kidding Germany Of
his mtarstic plan of government. Free
Germany and a free German people will be the result
when the day of freedom shall have come largely
thru the efforts Americans will the Kaseres in this
country realize that not they but the great
jorty of American public the true friends of
Germany.-HOkah Chief
