nothing miraculous or invincible
about this military system. 1t is
merely the product OF experts who
have devoted all their energies to it..
Beaten At Own Game.
Germany studied for decades how
to create armies and make war, but
the allies in three years have learn
ed all that Germany ever knew and
more. Everything that Germany has
done in a military way we can do.
The German has no special genius
for war as events have proved, al

Not An Idle Threat.

indemnity mentioned at $50, 900, 000,-
600 or 100000, 000,000 marks.
There is not the slightest doubt
in my mind that this is what the
kaiser would have done If the allies
had been defeated. Indeed, the hum
bling and gripping Of the United
States were no less essential to the
kaiser's ambition to create a. master
state than the humbling and Grip
pling OF Great Britain. Here were
unlimited riches in the hands of 100,-
600, 700 people who had not had the
courage to defend themselves. They
had made billions out of the war;
why not take 1t away from them and
put the German empire back on its
feet?
La FolIstts's Stand.
When a senator like La Toilette as
serts that we had only technical
grievance against Germany, the men
who applaud him for assailing the
Presidents policy are blind and deaf
and dumb to the calamity which was
hanging over the country.
1t is freely admitted by French and
British statesmen that the cause Of

honor and our wealth alike would
have been lost to us. We should
have had to fight in the end against
military odds that had broken Eng
land and France. and we should
have paid in indemnities far more
than this war can ever cost us.
What is worse still, our money
and our shame would have imposed
absolutism upon the world for gen
erations to come, and this terrible
have been bequeathed to our chill
dren's children.
Has Seen Both Sides.
I have seen this war from both
sides and know that unless kaiser
ism is destroyed democracy will be
destroyed. We cannot live in the
same world with the kline of Ger
manv that Prussian militarism has
created and that the kaiser is direct
ing. .
Let there be no mistake about it,
we are fighting a new war Of inde-
pendence, and it is as truly war OF
independence, as that which our an
cestors fought under Washington
from 1776 to 1888. We are fighting
a new war against slavery. 1t is q

TAKING MOTOR TOUR

Martin Longballa and family re-
turned last evening from a motor
trip to FraZee, Henning, Staples and
other points. At Henning they WIS.,
tied Mr.. Longballa's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. S. Longballa, and at Staples
they visited his brother and sister.
The trip was made in the Longballa
car
Just as they were leaving Staples
at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
three mangled bodies, two women
and one man, were brought into
town. The auto accident had hap
pened between Wadena and Staples
on the Jefferson highway. The hus-
band and wife were middle aged and
the other woman was about rs years
old. A Ford was being driven by
the son at terrific rate of speed, it
was stated. The driver and his sis
ter escaped uninjured. The doctors
said the injured persons were not ex-
pected to live an hour. The car
turned three complete somersaults.
On the Jefferson highway, just be-
low Latona, Mr.. Longballa came up
on new Dodge car, which had gone
down an embankment. The embank-
ment at this place was so feet, but
two trees had caught the auto part
way down and the occupants, three
women and three men, slid into the
marsh without scratch, and when
Mr.. Longballa came up to them were
standing on the embankment con-
graduating themselves on their mar
row escape.

POSTMASTER INSPECTS
NEW RURAL ROUTE:

Postmaster A. P. Ritchie, accom-

the Automobile club, today made the
final trip over the new, the third
rural route southeast of Bemidji,
which goes into commission October
/. The route is the longest rural
route out of Bemidji and covers 81
miles. Examination for the carrier
for this route was held Saturday.
The object of the trip today was
to ascertain the arrangement and To-
cation of the boxes of the people to
be served. The location of some of
the boxes will obviate trips in some
instances of as far as IS miles, short
ening the mileage to 4 or 5 miles,
and the new route will prove of big
benefit not only to the farmers af-
fected but to the merchants and
business men of Bemidji.
Next year it is hoped to add a
fourth route of the Bemidji post

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The price
of $2.2O a bushel for wheat fixed by
President Wilson will be maintained,
it has been made clear at the Food
Administration, despite isolated pro-
tests from farming interests that the
figure is too low.
Virtually the only objection of any
consequence, it was said, has arisen
in North Dakota, where the crop was
unusually poor.
Protest Non-Storage.
North Dakota farmers are demand
ing SO a bushel for their wheat and
are asking for the removal of the

signed to prevent speculation. They

In House Of COnq1'eSS

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Represen-
tative Royal Johnson of South Da-
kOta, one of the fifty members of the
House who voted against war, threw
down the gauntlet to the pacifists
Saturday. His speech was prompted
by seditious literature received from
the Peoples Peace Council.
1T is time," Mr.. Johnson declared,
''that some of us who opposed the
entry of the United States into this
war answered these reasonable at
tacks and do not put it up to you
who favored the war to make the
reply"
Congress Behind Government.
Here is Mr.. Johnson's message to
the pacif1sts, pro-Germans and other
agitators:
'This Congress, no matter how it's
individual members voted on the
original declaration of war is going
to support the government to the end
and until the United States is vic
torious."
The South Dakotan is the first of
those voting against war who has
come out openly in support of it.
"You have heard, perhaps, from
one or two or three who are contin-
ually objecting to something," Mr
Johnson said, referring to those who
opposed war, "but you have not
heard from the forty-seven or forty
eight who have absolutely supported
this government. This body is har-
monious.
All Are United.
"The men who voted against the
entry of the United States into war
are going to support the government
in every possible way"
This declaration was greeted with
vigorous applause. Some of the
statements in the Peoples council
literature follow:
"That the money power wishes the
continuation of the war, not for vic
tory, but for profit and to load the
people of the whole world with bond
ed debt.
