zens Of AmbOy took quick action Sat

in the list Of patriotic Minnesota
towns.
Two unknown men from North Da-

after getting in touch with w. G. Hen
slim, local man Of German ancestry,
began making arrangements for Il

Hearing of the trio's activities, the
citizens of AmDoy quickly mohilzed,
and with a supply of tar and feathers
began to search for the strangers.
The men from North Dakota, how
ever, had disappeared.
Tho home guard then made Henslin

The casualties OF the Russians I'M

perial government of thieves and graf

a skillfully prepared peace program
looked good to the rest.
At the same time the German agents
were turning trick on the battle
front that for audaCity and deviltry
has not been equaled anywhere
Why Army Blew Up.
The Russian soldiers, of course,
shared in the universal rejoicing when
the old corrupt government fell.
The Germans now appealed to them
with handbills and circulars declaring
that the first result Of the revolution
was to be the division Of all land
in Russia among the peasants and
workers, but as the division would be
made at once every peasant must has
ten home or he would not receive his
share. Some of these announcements
had a semi-ofIicial appearance and
all seemed to be authentic.
AS soon as the news ran along the
trenches whole regiments threw down
their arms and bolted for home. The
railroads were speeding packed and
congested with vast horde scram-
bling frantically to get into range for
all these good things.
For weeks every train moving from
the front was a spectacle the like Of
which has never been seen on this
earth. Men rode on brake beams,
couplers, air pipes, doorsteps and the
roofs Of cars. hundreds fell off and
were killed. 49,,
When they made their way home
they found, Of course, that there was
no distribution of land, and not likely
to be one.
1t was this exodus, purely the work
Of German agents, that figured in the
dispatches as the wholesale deser-
lions on the battle front" 1t shatter-
ed discipline, scoopcd the inside from
some of the lines and paralyzed mill
tary operations. Altogether it was
worth more to the car than a victory
on the field and almost as much as a
pacilist speech from a Yellow Streak
in the United States senate.
Free Speech in IMuscovy.
You will want to know why the
government tolerated these naturaliz.
ed Americans that were active dis.
scminators of treason, the German
press agents on the front and the rest
of this perilOus scullduggcry.
The answer is that with the com
ing of the revolution speech and the
press became absolutely free in Rus
STA and at first this was supposed to
include freedom to Overturn the gov
eminent and betray the country to
Germany, if anyone so desired.
The wise men of Russia have learn
ed better since. They have learned
or are learning that when democracy
is fighting for its life with a power
like Germany, remorseless, ruthless,
savage and cunning, bent upon abso-
lutte domination OF the world, all 9th
or considerations must for the time
being wait upon the supreme ncccs-
sity of rescuing liberty.
1t is wholesome lesson. We might
take some wads Of it in the United

ANOTHER MOVE TO REDUCE OR
HOLD RETAIL PRICES NORMAL

The Retail GrOcers' association at
meeting last week decided it neces-
sary to make only two deliveries to
their customers during the first five
days of the week and four on Satur
dAys. This, besides lessening their
overhead expenses, facilitates their de-
liyeries and helps reduce the present
cost of living.
They particularly request their GUS
toners to phone in their orders early
and when possible, the day previous,
thus insuring them of delivery the
first thing in the morning.

SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
Urges Presidential Suffrage for the
Women of the South.

'S''N' " hllC SONbNs
In an address delivered recently be-
fore the Woman's Suffrage League of
Greenyille, Chief Justice Walter
Clark, of North Carolina, urged that
the Legislature of his state pass
bill this winter conferring presiden
tial suffrage upon women.
Judge Clark said in part
In Illinois in the last election 500
1000 women went to the polls and vo
ted for president and woman was
lone OF those chosen as elector. Yet.
in that state their constitution, like
ours, prescribes that only male per.
sons 2l years old can vote. What
the Illinois Legislature did we can
do. Presidential suffrage is not a
matter in the State Constitution but
the Federal Constitution Weecribes
that the electors for President shall
be chosen in such manner as the
Legislature thereof may direct. In
all the states for fifty years the Legis.
latures elected the electors them.
selves, and that was done by South
Carolina till after the war and by
Colorado as late as 1876
when the women of Illinois per.
ceived that the influence of the liquor
trusts and brewers was such that a
Constitutional Amendment to strike
out the word male in State elections
could not be adopted at the polls they
procured the passage of an act by a
majority vote, indeed in one house by
a majority OF one, which directed that
the selection of the % presidential
electors for that state should be made
by the vote of men and women q
years of age. Upon the validity of
this action the Presidential election
might have turned. But not a lawyer
from ocean to ocean has ventured to
question the power of the Legisla.
ture of Illinois to do this.
This winter the Legislature of
North Carolina should pass an act
comforting Presidential suffrage upon
the women of this state. This will re-
quire only majority vote in each
House and will not need to be rati.
fled at the ballot box. AS the Demo.
cratic party has pledged itself for
equal suffrage by state action no
member of the Legislature who stands
by the platform of his party can vote
against it, The same is true of the
Republican members of the Legisla.
ture, for that party, too, is pledged to
equal suffrage by state action Their
pledges were put in the respective
party platforms as a bid for the 81
ELECTORAL votes in the states where
women voted and to repudiate that
pledge would prove insincerity and
an attempt to obtain the Presidency
under false pretenses."
