On Home Stretch
As we come to the home stretch
of this most remarkable campaign,
l wish on behalf of the executive
committee of the National Var
Council, to express to you and all of
the workers in Your field our pro-
found appreciation of the really pa
triotic service rendered and hearty
congratulations on the notable re-
suits already achieved.

ty-four hours hence and the record
Is sent throughout the world. it will
do more than any other thing to
quicken the spirit of grateful patri-
otism in our own land, to assure the
men who represent us in the camps.
at home and in the camps, trenches
and warships overseas that we are
absolutely behind and with them /;
to hearten our allies-France, Russia,
Italy, Belgium and Britain, and to
cheer the six million lonely prisoners.
Let us put forth united and SUI
preme effort right up to the last
hour, not only to reach the goal,
but also to sweep as far beyond it
as possible. The psychological and
moral effect of going away beyond
our original goal will be very great.
Moreover, let me point out that de-

PHILIPPINE LOYALTY.

II Is we'll that the United States has
no Disconnected subject people. The
alliance against PrusSianiSm is an al
lance in behalf of nations and races
that are held in tLraldom. II is a
war in behalf of Germany'S AlSatianS
and Poles, in behalf of AuStria's Ital-
ianS and Bohemians and Serbs and
SlovakS. in behalf of Turkeys Arme-
mans and LebanOnltes. Ii is well that
the one people which has in the past
protested against American rule is now
loyal and contentcd. OF the present
loyalty Of the Philippines there can be
no doubt. 1t is the American custom
to think of the Philippines as repre-
scented by the intelligent and educated
classes of LuzOn. These men have been
the only Ineligible prOtesters against
American rule. Now this element is
satisfied that the United States is con-
scientiOuSly working out the Philip
pine problem, and that Philippine in
dependence is assured, says Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The other Philippine
peoples, the half-civilized Mohamme-
dams of Mindanao and Sulu and the
quite savage races of some of the in
teriOrS, are not usually considered
when Philippine wishes and aspira-
tons are under discussion. The 10y
atty demonstration in Manila recently
was a pleasing mark of gratitude. 1t
indicated the Filipino appreciation of
the American efforts for Philippine
betterment.

Essential to Each Other.

Britain is our buffer against Europe,
our reliance as against Asia, our guar
antor Of the Monroe Doctrine. In a
profound sense it has been true that
Britain is the opponent Of the whole
European continent TRAITOR to Eu-
rope" her Continental enemies have
styled her. To maintain that buffer
as against the Continent, to continue
that friendship of mutual self-interest
throughout the world, constitutes the
imperative duty of American states
manship.
Recognition Of our position in the
world, if the facts, constitutes for us
what the Germans call "real politics."
derives not from love of England at
all, but bases itself upon our most
selfish interest, our own preservation.
Any German or Irish born citizen.
property owner, father of family
here, is as vitality concerned for this
necessity Of ours as the descendants Of
Massachusetts or Virginia English
men. .-ss.
1t is said that the English do not
love us. Maybe Whether they do or
not, isn't important. British states
manship sees the point. It did not
permit European coalition against
us at the time Of the Spanish war, it
has supported the Monroe doctrine, it
has held Japan in leash. The United
States is essential to Great. Britain.

The additional pay appropriated at
the recent session of the legislature
for the militia boys who saw service
at the border is now being distributed.
Capt. A. H. Johnson of Co. G has re-
ceived check for $2,799.50 from the

have been received to the effect that
registration is no bar to voluntary
enlistment. "

but personality. Linked to natural re-
sources it is manufacturing power;
linked to goods it is commercial power;
linked to humanity it is social power;
linked to mind it is intellectual power;
linked to books it is literary power;
linked to God it is spiritual power; but
always personality is power.
Under very few rubrics may be
summed up the forces that make for
human greatness and human progress.
These forces are resident in the brain
or the heart of some man or some
woman. g., <se,s-..zsa
John Knox, the man who gave the
public school to the world, was the
Scottish reformation; Savonarola from
his pulpit on the Arno was the Floren-
tine revival of letters and of religion;
John Wesley was the eighteenth
century evangelical impulse and the
greatest ever let loose among the
hearts of men; Abraham Lincoln was
the power that melted and cemented
and welded together a parcel of states
into a great Union; Mary Lyon was
the inspiration and the conservation
back of the founding of Holyoke col
lege and the beginning and exaltation
of college trained womanhood in
America; Frances E. Willard was
the power back of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union and the
modern crusade Of the home; Paul was
the embodiment Of the Kingdom, and
Jesus himself was Christianity. AL
ways personality is power. F..
When Sir Humphrey Davy was
asked, "What is your greatest discov-
ery?", he replied, ''Michael Faraday."
When Cortez marched into Mexico and
was told that his ships were destroyed,
he wept, but when his shipbuilder
emerged from the brine he laughed a
brawny laugh, with him I can build
other ships!" Yes, personality is
power.
The dynamic personality finds his
torical enforcement from the begin
ming of institutions among men until

Patriotic Meeting at Elk River.

There was large attendance at the
patriotic meeting held on the public
square, of which the grand stand is
the center, at Elk River, last Sunday
afternoon. The four sides Of the
square were lined with automobiles.
Brief but interesting talks were de-
livered by ministers Of the gospel
representing all denominations, in
Guiding the German Lutherans. All of
the speakers emphatically urged that
in the present crisis it was the duty
of all citizens to stand loyalty by
their country and flag, no matter
what their previous predictions may
have been as between the warning
Europeans; state of war existed be-
tween this country and Germany, and
there was only one side to it as far
as true Americans, native or foreign
born, were concerned; it was no longer
a question Of neutrality; every red
blooded American must be for Ameri-
ca first, last and all the time.

Wilkes-NeWtOn.

Mr.. Clair L. Newton and Miss Frona
J. Wilkes We're quietly married at the
Methodist parsonage Saturday even
ing by Rev. James A. Geer. They left
at once for Elk River by auto, and
from there took the train to Minneap-
oils for brief wedding trip.
The groom is son of Mr.. and Mrs.
O. B. Newton of this village, and is
bright, Industrious and patriotic
young man. He is members of the
Headquarters Co., Duluth, Third Regi-
ment, M. N. G., band section, and will
soon be in the active service of his
country. The bride is a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. C. Wilkes of Milaca,
but is we'll known here, and her happy
disposition has endeared her to large
circle of friends:
That a bright future is in store
for the estimable young couple when
peace again reigns over the world, is
the wish of all who know them.

Mullen is Optimistic.

Mr.. John H. Mullen, deputy state
highway commissioner, estimates that
So, 900 will be expended on state
roads in Minnesota the present year,
and that over 1000 miles Of roads
will be graded, Of which about 1900
miles will be surfaced with gravel.
Mr.. Mullen is also of the opinion that
war with Germany will not lessen road
improvement activities, but on the
contrary will be an incentive for more
vigorous work this year as an item
in our preparedness.
We are afraid, however, that the
Eslowness Of the federal authorities,
and the high cost Of labor and mater
ial may retard the work of road i'm
provement this year. But the people
of the state can rest assured that the
state highway department, under the
present efficient management, will do
it's share toward expediting the work
of road-improvement.

Given Physical Examination

DR.. J. H. Andre of Duluth, head of
the medical corps Of the Third regi-
ment, was here Saturday evening to
give recruits of Co. G physical
examination DR.. Andre was nothing
if not thorough, and those who were
declared fit are certainly fit.
A total of 20 men were examined,
and Of these~seven were rejected for
being underweight, or owing to minor
physical defects, viz: Dennis R. Byers,
VIM. V. Olson, Olof Hanson, Francis
Bockoven, Richard Dehn, Verne E.
Godbout and Albert H. Roman. They
were willing to serve and are no less
patriotic because rejected. -
DR.. Andre expects to return in a
week or ten days to examine another
class.

matter. If the facts are as stated
Mr.. Tobias and his neighbors are en-
titled to better road facilities.
In new town like Isle Harbor it is
no easy matter to provide passable
roads for all the settlers. We were
under the impression that road con-
ditions had been greatly improved in
that town in recent years, but build
ing roads in a heavily timbered coun-
try is slow process. We trust, how
ever, that the grievances complained
Of by Mr.. Tobias will be speedily
remedied.
The Commissioner of Highways has
no jurisdiction in the matter-th
supervisors of the town of Isle Har-
Dor have. If it is a county road the
county commissioners might act. And
even if it is a town road the county
commissioners can take action upon
the petition Of five freeholders and
voters, as provided in the 1917 amend
ments to the Dunn road law.

NOTES..

The Milo young men showed the
right spirit, and several were on hanG

Earl>Henschel was on hand bright
and early Tuesday morning and was
the first one to register in Princeton

ports with the auditor yesterday, pur.
suant to instructions. The govern.
ment is wasting no time.

were at the booth, and they pinned
bows of red, white and blue ribbons
on the coats of those who registered.
Sheriff Harry Shockley and County
Auditor Doane visited all Of the regis
tration booths south of Milaca Tues.
day and found everything proceeding
nicely.
Lloyd -Boyne, who lives directly

Supt. w. H. Hollands has declined
reappointment as head of the Prince
ton schools, and has accepted posi-.
ton as superintendent Of the Litch-
field schools. Mr.. Hollands is able and
energetic, and gave excellent satisfac-

dwelling house been available. Then,
too, the Litchfeld schools have a do
nestle training department, and it
is his desire to give his daughter the
advantage Of this course. The Hol-
