500 MONTGOMERY WARD (

Weary mailmen Iugged 500 Mont
gomery catalogues from the depot
to the post office this week, where
they were sent out to most eyerv-
body, with the prospect of getting
Iowa money to Chicago. Its the
same old story, and a sad ONE
to Think, that they expect and will
get business in this, the garden
spot of Iowa. In this land, where
ONE and aid donate funds to the
Red Cross and the upbuilding of
the town, the county, the state
and the nation; i'm this land where
all are working to make the land
and properties higher, i'm this
land where AID pay taxes to de
velope the schools, roads and the
general health of the people. in
this land where people freely give
out of their abundance ample funds
to support the churches and chanit-
| able institutions, in this the cata-
log houses expect to reap harvest
The merchants of Manning will dup
licate anything solid in Chicago
and at price equal to theirs
Suppose we ask for something fol
the good of Manning from the cat
alog houses? Everybody knows wha
their answer would be.

them AID. II is in that sense that /
mean that America is a mediatiulg
Nation"
American neutrality, in those
first months of the great war, was
beyond any question real.
But the spirit of neutrality was
not easy to maintain Public opin-
ion was deeply stirred by the Ger
man invasion of Belgium and by
reports of atrocities there The Roy
Belgian Commission, which came IN
September, 1914, to lay tAeir coun-
try's cause for complaint bef.re our
National Government was received
with sympathy and respect. The presi
dent in his reply reserved our de-
cision in the affair. 1t was the only
course he could take without an alb
rupt departure from our most treas
ured traditions of noninte rferemce i'm
Old World disputes. But the SYM
pathy of America went out to the
Belg.hns i'm their heroic tragedy,
and from every section of our land
money contributions and supplies
of food and clothing poured over
to the Commission for Relief in
Belgium, wh1eh! was under the able
management OF our fellow country
men abroad.
Still, the Thought of taking an
active part in this European war
was very far from most of our
minds. The Nation shared with the
President the belief that by maintain
ing srfet neutrality VIE could best
serve Europe .at the end as inn
pantiall mediators.
But in the very first days of the
war our Government foresaM that
complications ON the seas might
put us in grave risk of being drawn
into the conflict. No neutral nation
could foretell what violations of its
vital interests at sea might be at
tempted by the belligerents. And so,
on August 6, 1914, our Secretary
of State despatched am Identical note
to all the powers then at war, CALI
ing attention to the risk of serious
trouble arising out of this uncer-
tn;, of ut, lt,
time rights and proposing that the
Declaration of Iondon be accepted
by all nations for the duration of
the war.
But the British Government S re-
Spouse while expressing sympathy
with the purpose of our suggestion

to consult SO far as possible the in

they judge Indispensable to the

Talk May Not Be Cheap.

Ii is likely that we will have a few
citizens less, unless some of our
blatant folks are discreet enough to
conceal their thoughts by bridling
their tongues. A few of our people
are reported to have been making
some very unwise accusations
against the policies of our govern
ment and the actions of our ruling
officials. A man does not have to
be foreigner to be traitor, and
the fellow who has a yellow streak
had better conceal it, now that we
are engaged in this world war, or
they may escape the high cost of
living by getting board in a federal
prison. Secret service agents are
everywhere, and their activity and
efficiency have already landed hun
