| ical sentiment was severely treated
it was deemed anti-national and unpa-
triOtic; it was ''anti-German." The
Social Democracy was not unaware
of the perils of the situation, but
what could it do? 1t worked against
heavy odds; the wonder is that it ac-
complished as much as it did under
Prussianism, rather than that it failed
at the critical time.
The people of the German Empire
had universal suffrage conferred upon
them by Bismarck and his imperial
master at the time of unif1cation. But
this was a snare and a delusion. The
government was made absolutist; for
eign relations, with war and peace,
were placed exclusively in the hands
of the Emperor. If the national par

peror, or to hesitate and question.

new parliament is equally, or more, re-
fractory, it is dissolved in turn. To
this power of dissolution there is no
legal limit.

pie do? They wanted peace; the En-
peror and his tools pretended to be pa
cif1c and asserted that several power
full nations were conspiring against
Germany and preparing to attack her.
Discussion and debate were impos-
sible. The peoples representatives
were not summoned, and If they had
been, they could have interposed no
real obstacle whatever to the con-
summation of the imperial policy. The
caba1 that willed the war, that was
too arrogant and obstinate to nego-
tiate, that resented any suggestion of
give-and-take, that wished to dictate
and to impose its DEGREES on Europe;
the cabal that believed in blood and
iron and thought itself prepared for
any trial to battle-this cabal had it's
way.
What would Bismarck say today
about the "success"/of his policy?
What terrible penalty Germany is
paying for the blunders and aggres-
sions of her autocratfc, irresponsible
rulers, and for the pseudo-scientific
teachings of her lingo historians and
politicians! Even If Germany could
possibly win the war, her penalty
would stagger humanity. Millions,
killed, millions manned and crippled,
millions starved, millions wrecked in
body or mind, billions of capital de-
stroyed, industry dislocated, foreign
markets lost, neutrals offended and
alienated, the United States dragged
in, the name German made byword
and reproach in many lands!
Verify, the empire that trusts in
blood and iron shall perish by blood
and iron. The world has outgrown
barbarism What all governments and
nations did centuries ago does not ex-
cuse any nation that sins against the
hight OF our own time, against al the
lessons Of moral and social progress.

Of Sanatorium for Consumptives
at Granite Falls.
The Olivia Times has the following
to say in regard to the opening and
dedication of the Sanatorium for con-

day, April 20:
Last Sunday the Sanatorium, built
for cOnsumptives, by the counties OF
Renville, Yellow Medicine, Chippewa
and Lac qui Parle, at a cost of a little
over ninety-two thousand dollars, was
opened and dedicated with proper and
fitting ceremonies. The weather was
unfavorable, having rained the night
before, still a large number of peo-
pie attended and all expressed salts
faction with the program offered, and
with their inspection OF the buildings
and grounds.
This institution is complete and

tanning to the work in hand and to be
undertaken, there is probably no more
perfect one in the State of Mime

at0rium, and there is great hopes fol-
it's doing a lot of good for these -four
counties. There is room for about
forty patients, but the nurses and
help take up a number of the rooms
which should be used for patients, sc
that building for the nurses home
will be needed in the near future, anC
for which the commission will ask thu

tural director Of the Willmar schools
the following: SIS as prize money for

Not more than one will be held in
each county and ten calves must be
exhibited.
The above offers will be given tc
the first applicants sent to this office
Not more than $500 will be used TO,
each Of the above projects.
This Association also believe thoro

very valuable. Therefore, we offel

the fall of 1917, for a livestock judg

1t is to be hoped that our county
will apply for all these items.

Thirty-sIx Minneapoii. Saloons Closed

The Minnesota Public Safety Com
mission, without forewarning of its
intention, a few days ago issued an
order requiring the termination of All
saloon and moving picture licenses in
down town section of Minneapolis
lying between Washington avenue and
the river, including Nicollet Island,
the order to be effective May 1st. In
the affected district the l. w. w. is
wont to congregate and there also are
headquarters for unskilled laborers
seeking employment, foaters, tramps,
and the "dOwn and OUT class in gen.
eral. 1t is assumed that the order
was issued to forestall any disturb.
ance from these people during the
war. The saloonkeepers affected will
probably carry the matter into court,
and an attempt will also be made to
secure the refunding of proportional
fees for the unexpired licenses.

The humiliation and dismemberment

gigantic preparations for war, to the
conversion of Europe into an armed
camp.
When, as result of considerable
progress in what may be called the
new internationalism, the question OF
armament limitation was raised some
years ago, Germany proved herself to
be morally and politically backward
and reactionary. She doubted the sin.

Germany was "too practical" to o'believe
in arbitration, or in delay-securing
treaties, or in limitation of arma.
ments. Germany was "a realist" in
politics. She might talk Of God, and
of prayer to God, but she knew the
value of the sword and of the sub
marine.
These military ideas and theories
were not confined to the ruling caste.
Gradually the Germany of Kant and
of Lessing, of Goethe and Schiller, be-
came the Germany of absurd profes-
sors and historians who glorified arms
and war, who fashioned a new philos-

an idol of their own making, and who
forgot that "the State" always, in

Two Prizes given
FOR BEST FLOATS
Memorial Day Demonstration to
Include a Monster Street
Parade open to All.

A prize of SO will go to the best
decorated float in the parade which Is
to precede the annual patriotic pro-
gram to be given on Wednesday after
noon, Memorial Day, at the park audi
torium. The second prize will be IS.
The prizes are to be given by the Jun
ior Commercial League, under whose
auspices the exercises are given, and
the Commercial Club.
Business houses are urged to get up
floats representing their business, to
participate in the parade, and individ-
uals who have autos are also urged to
decorate them f1ttingly to take part in
this most interesting feature of the oc-
casion. The prizes will be awarded
to the best looking float, regardless of
whether it be business firm or individ-
ual. Among the various organizations
of the city who will participate in the
parade are the G. A. r. veterans, Span
ish-American veterans, members Of
the Kandiyohi County Loyalty League,
Commercial Club, Citizens Band, Will
mar Choral Club, Modern Woodmen,
Boy Scouts, Junior Commercial
League, Boys Band, City Council, Fire
Department and others. The parade
is open to all who wish to enter, and
there is no entry fee, so get busy, and
think up some means of decorating
that car for the parade.
The procession will go thru the var
ious streets of the city, and will end
| up at the fair grounds, where the pro-
gram will be held. The exact make
| up of the program is not known yet,
but it will be the equal of the one CIV
en- last year, which attracted such a
throng of people that the auditorium
could not accommodate them all. It is
an assured fact that Judge Richard T.
DAILY of Renville will be on hand to
give an address. Judge Daily is most
able speaker, and he will have most
interesting message to deliver at that
time. There is possibility that Gov
ernor Burnquist will be here also Gov
Rice received letter from him some
time ago to the effect that he would
speak in Wilmar, If he was able tc
fill any outside date on Decoration
Day. The Choral Club will render
several selections, and all in all the
program will be one that will long be
remembered by those who hear it.

DOBIE MAKES GOOD
At NAVAL ACADEMY
|NF|RST SEASON

1t is a fortunate thing for the
United States Naval Academy that
one Gilmour Dobie took a hand In
football affairs this fall. 1t is more
or less unfortunate that the midship-
men failed to get a crack at their
dear rivals from the Point, for vic
tory W. uld most certainly have
perched on-the Navy banner.
The coming OF Dobie meant the in
stitution OF a system of foo ball
coaching that bids fair TO place the
Navy in the front rank of o-ball
teams in the country. That Dobie
will be retained goes without saying.
That he will be victorious another
year is equally true, for Dobie's sys-
tenn cannot fail while he has so many
men from which to select, and such
a thorough system with which to get
results.
Navy men in this city who can find
time to turn from their labors for a
second or two will tell you that they
have been advocating the one man
Z. Jtball system for a number Of
years. Former football stars of An
napolis stationed here went down
yearl:' to see their team fioundering
around with so muea material going
to waste.
The employment OF former colleg,
stars at top prices TO assist the resi-
dent navy coaches, former football
stars OF Navy teams, appeared to DC
little but show of. A few Navy meT
realized that something was wrong
but devotion to the Academy pre-
vented them from saying anything.
Former Navy teams, which relieS
upon old navy traditions and laten,
strength, coupled with first class con
ditlon, grew sick of seeing thei
teams go up against West Point t.
almost certain defeat.
But Dobie has changed that now
and the Navy can look forward t.
greater football successes with Dobis
at the helm. The astute Scot has res
