The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1917-07-18


The Star, so long as it is under its
! present management, will stand up
i first, last and all the time for the
United States as the best government
in the world If there was country
we thought more Of we should move
! there. If standing by the country
! which supports and protects us be
crime, we plead guilty And, if this
! be an offense to any reader of this
paper, it will be sincere pleasure to
remove his name from our list. We
want no dealings with that kind of
a citizen-Lamberton Star.
| Exactly right, Bro Hoagland. The
| man who does not stand back of the
government of the country in which
! he lives hasn't the qualifications nee
essary to make him good citizen of
| any country.-BelvieW independent
Keep list of the citizens who take Of
| Tense at your Americanism, Brother Hoag-
land. Their stopping Of newspaper for
such a reason will have significance
when viewed in the light Of their future
actions. There are not many in Redwood
County, We'll admit, however we've found
two cases, and are awaiting development.
A prominent St. Paul republican,
in a personal letter says: Julius
SchmahPs German nativity will hard
ly prove an asset in next years poll
tical campaign" Nevertheless, when
they pry julius loose from political
Job they will have callouses on their
hands.-Frank Day.
It is true that Julius Scnmahl is of
German descent, but it is likewise
true that he is an American to the
full. He is not kaiser lover and has
no sympathy with the Germanic auto
cracy.-Mankato Free Press.
If julius is Pro-German where do you
get your real Americans Frank Day has
apparently forgotten that after the Sec
rotary had visited Fairmont very few
short weeks ago, Frank himself made The
following statement concerning his speech
before the Old Settlers"
I'm his peroration the honorable
secretary rose to the present occasion
and eloquently affirmed the loyalty
of all nationalities to the Flag in the
present war. Himself of German par
entage he left no doubt in the minds
of all that to him America is America
and that no country or king, emperor
or car has any place in the hearts
and sympathies of real Americans
Believing this, we can hardly see why
Frank should trouble to quote anything
which might even indirectly reflect upon
the loyalty of anyone so palpably loyal as
Julius A. Schmahl While Frank is often
mistaken he is seldom unjust-and julius
friends feel that the implied reflection is
unjust.
Of ha al,
was Redwood Falls visitor Friday bust
ling in and bustling out again with Just a |
handshake and that word of good fellow
ship which is so characteristic of Bob. |
Bob likes our toWn-he said so-but ne
also said-in picturesque language which |
is not altogether printable "Why in the |
doesn't town of the quality of !
Redwood Falls, pave it's main streets and
get those telephone poles il the |
allies where they belong! What's the |
matter with your citizens any
way, that they don't buckle down and get
this done (? and more in the same strain.
We agree with Bob-only of course. we
hesitate about mentioning it. (The dashes
in the above stand for Bob's unprintable
Bob Dunn is responsible for the follow
ing: Some years ago somebody said that I
nobody was proclaiming the cant of "wonl-
ans rights" except some long-haired men
who ought to have been born women. and
some short-haired women who ought not
to have been born at ALL The recent
break" of the White House pickets adds
strength to the statement
Now that isn't bit like Bob who is US
lally fair and as broadminded as a poll
5ician-editor can consistently be. Ger
Iainly the men of the nation should be
liberal enough not to condemn women as
! class because of the work of a band of
,raitorous fanatics. No class regrets or
'esents the outrages at Washington more
han the serious workers for equal
lights (quite different thing from "wom-
ms" rights and what's the use Of rub
hing it in. i
