real the Congressman's picture
on this page.
A man will endure much, but
when you stick a knife into him,
ne dies, or does something ef-
fective.
War sticks it's knife into the
whole human race, collectively,
and violent things happen.
You will see, if you live a few
years, change that will pay for
the war a hundred times.
There will be distribution of
wealth, not by any fantastic
"dividing up" but by the meth
ods of sound taxation and public
improvements.
The people will say, "if we
could afford twenty billions a
year for international murder,
we can afford three or four bill
lion yearly, right along, to i'm
prove this country and get for
ourselves what we need"
You know what a few billion
yearly would do-national des-
erts irrigated, swamps drained,
canals dug, public education de-
veloped. consumption of other
diseases conquered, all willing
workers always employed-no
bread lines, or lack of work.
The nation has learned that
the money is here to spend, and
it will spend it. Even the rich
will not object in the end since
prosperity always makes the
rich richer. And besides, a
change for the enormously rich
from the war income tax of fif-
ty per cent to an income tax of
ten to twenty per cent will seem
like heaven when it comes after
the war.
A better country, a better ma
tion, a happier people are COM
ing.
The system will disappear that
gave to the many just as much
as would keep them alive and
working, while the few boarded
or squandered what they did
mt need.
Wages have gone up and will
never come down to the old lev
el.
Men will be paid enough to
support wife and family. Child
labor will be stopped.
Not all at once, but surely
these things will come.
In the quarrels of kings the
people have always found their
opportunity and betterment.
In this world quarrel, kings
will disappear, and the people
will get a greater share of that
which they produce farmers
mechanics, laborers, and legiti.
mate business men.

Minnesota MADE PRh. .sRA-
Tl0NS EARLY, BUT i It THE
RIGHT KIND IT NUN SEEMS

Washington is appealed to. The
head of the war department
himself thinks the issue so i'm
portant to the country at large
and the conduct of the war that
he personally wires the COVER
nor, head of the safety commits
sion, urging that the commits
sion resclnd it's foolish embar-
rassment in it's war work.
The governor at this point
does a thing which no governor
of a loyal state in time of war
ever before dared to do. He re-
plies, in substance, that he and
his commission will do nothing
of the kind, that they do not
welcome federal interference"
and that they can handle the sit
uation very nicely themselves.
The commission backs the
governor up-by doing nothing.
This is the governor and this
is the commission that preached
patriotic obedience to us all last
summer and fall!
Rapidly we are drifting into
a dangerous and fearful situ-a-
tion. In 48 hours the state of
Minnesota may stand in a ter
rible, false light before the whole
world. Certainly the situation
we find ourselves in as a result
of the commissions order and
the governors refusal of feder-
al intervention is calculated to
give small comfort to Ameri-
cans, and small worry to our en-
emies overseas.
The governor has floutcd the
federal administrations request,
made in the ia'erest of patriot
ism.
One member of the commits
sion is accused of serious crit
icism of President Wilson. He
says he has not done so lately,
but it is established that he per-
petrated a bitter eleventh-hour
election attack on the president
less than IA months ago.
The entire commission stands
before the world, arrayed a.
gainst the head of the war de-
partment and his advisers in
Washington, in an issue vital to
the welfare of a war-stained ma
tion.
Working men, producers, who
should be at work, aiding the
nation, are idle, and thousands
more may be idle within two
days. Armed men in hundreds
patrol our streets with guns
loaded, not for our common en-
emy, but for our own people.
This cannot grieve the head of
the house of Hohenzollern, but
it cannot but make the Ameri-
can patriot tremble.
The safety commission has
preached to us. Let us preach
to it. Let us all be patriots all
the time, with never man of us
too big or too small to obey the
government in Washington in
time of war, even though it may
hurt our little pride e!-St. Paul

The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1917-12-13

These are times when it is the
duty of every American to stand
by the government.
There can be no argument on
this proposition. We of Mime
sofa were among the first to real
ize last spring the vital neces-
sity of ceasing our pro-war and
.anti-War arguments, and going
for the war with all our strength
and means, once war was de-
clared. Minnesota stands unit
ed, loyal, determined, belliger-
ent, behind President Wilson
and his cabinet, to finish this
war as it should be finished and
to furnish more than it's share
of the men and money the war
will require.
In the heart of patriotic fer
vor, in the early days of the war
our legislature created the pub
lie safety commission, and en-
dowed it with million dollars
and autocratic power. The dol
lars and the power were to be
used judiciously, it was presum-
ed, whenever it should be nee
essary to use them to prove to
the world that Minnesota is one
of the United States, second to
none in it's loyalty to the govern
ment at Washington.
It would require an almost
superhuman body of men to use
that power and that money with
absolute justice, fairness, moder-
alton and restraint. Mistakes
were to be expected, allowed for
and received with as little crit
icism as possible. But the safe
ty commission reached the pin
nacle of the ridiculous in it's alb
surd order requiring working
men to forego their constitu-
tional right to wear their union
badges. OF course, the men re-
fused to obey the order, and
now they have appealed to the
highest power in the land for
protection from the commission
which has taken all power into
its hands in Minnesota. g.
Gov. Burnqust and his COM
mission have been untiring in
spreading the gospel of patriot
is.>o throughout Minnesota.
Rightly and fearlessly (for they
had nothing to fear) they have
told u.s., "Stand by the president.
Now is no time for hesitating to
obey the national government.
Hesitation, reluctance, lack of
hearty cooperation with the war
administration, are close to trea-
son. Beware!"
We agreed to all this whole
heartedly. The will of Washing
ton has been our law, and will
continue to be, without question,
as long as the war lasts: Then
will be time enough for politics,
pickering, questioning. Now we
obey.
Now comes great industrial
crisis in Minnesota, affecting the
war program of the nation-a
crisis precipitated by the safety
commission. The government at

One fragment from the bomb
which killed Fitzsimmons, passed
through the mess hall of the Har.

One nurse in this tent was blown
off her feet and was slightly wound

went bravely on with her work of
caring for the wounded men in her
charge. '""-'~a
The raid which took the heaviest
toll was on last Tuesday night. On
the following night another German
airplane visited the hospital camp.
An aerial torpedo was loosened
against the Americans.
This missile struck a tent hospital
attendants were occupying. Three of
them were wounded.
Both legs of n of the men were
blown off. He may die.
The fifth bomb to be dropped on
the hospitals killed a man who was
standing in the door of n of the
tents.

one officer, three privates, and a pa
tient, and wounding ten others.
Raids Were Deliberate.
The raids upon the hospitals were
deliberate. That the Americans
might not forget, the Germans drop
ped German coins over the camp as
souvenirs. These souvenirs were
German pfennig pieces.

played real American spirit and hero
ism, under the enemy bombardmen'
from the skies.
With bombs bursting about them
and men already wounded being tori
by pieces of the exploding missiles
nurses fastened to their aid. Officers
stood at their posts, men responded
to every call upon them, and the first
American units to be under enemy
fire carried out the work they had to
do with the utmost bravery.

casualty list of the Wharf.-The men of

York; Oscar C. Tugo, Boston.
Wounded: Three first lieutenants,
six privates, n nurse.
Two Raids.
A visit to the hospital camp today
revealed that there were two raids.
The frstctook the heaviest toll. But
evidence is conclusive that the raids
were deliberate. Officers here declare
enemy aviators flew over the hospi-
tails more than once during daylight
hours. |
With their markings and their To-
cations there could be no mistake as
to the identity of the buildings. The
landmarks are also such that they
could be readily mapped by an avia-
tor, and the location of the hospitals
fixed. Nevertheless bombs were
hurled down on the defenceless build
ings, with their scores of equally de,
~fenceless attnedants and patients.
The Chicago hospital narrowly es'
capped the fate that befell the Har'
ward and St. Louis units. One large
bomb was apparently aimed at the
Chicago hospital. 1t landed across
a road from the building but failed
to explode.
Fitzsimmons First Killed.
Fitzsimmons was probably the frs
of the Americans killed. He hearc
the warning sounded when the enemy
airplanes were sighted.

day, told of seeing the Kansas City
boy come to the door of his tent. HI
