!. Worse and worse grow the diabolical
actions of those rabid viragoes, the
.suffragettes, down at Washington, and
it is high time that the authorities
.resorted to drastic measures to sup
press these children Of satan these
sdespicable female terrorists of the
times. Are the police Of Washington
incapable of coping. with these vixens
or what?' It is astonishing why day
after day and month after month
they are permitted to picket the white
house andHannoy the. president by the
display Of insulting banners bearing
such legands as "Kaiser Wilson" and
to distribute disloyal literature. We

interned until the war is over and
given rations Of bread and water.

Despite the number Of men which
have been drawn from Great Britain
to engage in the world conflict, it's
acres have been more thoroughly cul-
tivated and 100000 added to pro-
duce foodstuffs for the country and it's
allies. In consequence the yield of
cereals and vegetables is this year
greatly above the average. To the
women of Great Britain, however, is
largely due the result achieved. All
classes, from the silkstockinged
duchess to the women of the tenement
took part in the cultivation process
they did their bit in the field and thus
released the men for service at the
front. When women of a great nation
pull together in this way victory is
assured.

The declaration Of war, by China
against Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary is specifically stated by the Chi
nese government to be the result of
intrigue by the central powers, by
which these powers were successful in
stirring up internal disturbances
throughout the Flowery kingdom
disturbances which have not yet been
successfully suppressed. Germany
and Austria have large special set
Elements in China, which could be used
as base Of operations for further
intrigue, therefore rendering the stu
alton still more difficult to cope with.
Hence the declaration Of war by China
will give the government the oppor-
tunity to appropriate these conces-
sions and drive the Teutons out.

Dear Sir: In recent issue of your

This is an error as I made no claim
for exemption whatever, and to my

claim for me. assume you will glad
ly correct this mistake: When Uncle
Sam needs me Pm ready.
Yours respectfully, -.

ABSOLUTE MONARCHY.

To show the kind of government
that exists in Germany, Ex-Governor
John Lind read an extract from the
records Of the supreme court Of Mis-
souri, at the patriotic meeting held in
Princeton last Sunday. 1t was an
action brought by Frederick William
w, King Of Prussia, to recover $4,000
against an absconding Prussian post
master. In his complaint the king
alleged that heI ''is the absolute mon
arch Of the Kingdom Of Prussia, and
as king thereof is the sole govern
ment Of the country; that he is unre-
strained by any constitution or law,
and that his will, expressed in due
form, is the only law of the country,
and is the only legal power there
known to exist as law" The court
found this true and gave judgment for
the king in the amount alleged in the
complaint. The case will be found in
22 Mo. Reports, page $50.

The sheriff is the chief peace officer
in every county in the state. It is the
duty of the sheriff to preserve order

Burnquist has announced his intention
of holding sheriffs to strict accounta-
bility for maintenance of law and or

necessary to suppress seditious meet.

Reports have been received in Wash
ington to the effect that the kaiser
is drafting American citizens into his
armies. There is doubtless truth in
the story as it has come from various
sources, but what can our government
do in the premises? Retaliate by
drafting subjects of Germany into the
American army? While this idea is
repugnant, what other course could
be pursued in order to get even with
the imperial satan Of Germany?
Eventually we shall doubtless crush
the monster beneath our heel, but in
the meantime our citizens, or a por-
ton of them fighting with the kaiser's
troops, would obviously be slaught-

Elihu Root recommends and urges
that all pro-enemy agitators be exc.
cuted. A sensible suggestion and not
the least bit too drastic. These fel.

the maximum penalty provided by
law? If we imprison them they have
to be fed, and they are surely not
worthy Of such consideration ever
though their rations be only bread anc
water. Conserve the food they con.
sumo by shooting them. This pro.
cedure would also rid the country anc
the world of hundreds of poisongas
emitting undesirables.

One of the Duluth band boys tells

keep him comfortably warm even in

Down in Brown county, the capital
of which is New Ulm, the devoted sub
jects of the kaiser are boycotting the
newspapers that preach Americanism.
The Brown county kaiserites are alto
gether too mild. They ought to en-
ploy the favorite weapons Of their
kinsmen on the other side of the
"herring pond"-poisonous gas and
liquid fire. If gas and fire fail to pro-
duce the desired result then it would
be in order to dynamite the offending
