The Registration List

Since the registration list Of
Grant county was published one
name has been added to the list,
Oscar Lindahl, who was in Canada
on registration day. His number
is 979, the total forthe county.
The official list received by the
local board makes one correction
from that published by the Herald
Adance last week.
The 26th number drawn was 507,
Axel Herman Rehu. The daily pa
pers announced that this should
have been $40, but the official list
received from Washington shows
that the correction was mistake
and the original number as given
was right.
Any Of our subscribers in
terested in the draft will do we'll to
keep the two last copies Of the Her
aid Advance, as by those they will
be able to tell their place on the
roll and can Judge pretty accurate
~ as to when they will be called
upon to report for physical examin-
tion or exemption privilege.

A Republics Father.

Had there been an excursion of legislators to Eu-
rope several of those who would have gone were
determined to see this youngster Alexander Kerensky,
now doing his best be Father to his infant republic
This pale-faced, intensive young has multitude
of friends in the American Congress- and knowing
the vicisstudes of serving wel-estabished a
republic they marvel at the spirit of the
man who seeks to serve of such turmoil and
tribuation as Russia.
Some day, it is hoped in own legislative halls,
the peace negotiations will be carried on and COM
peted. The young who pioted Russia will then
be wanted this side of the water to visit the product
of hundred and fifty years of republic making. If
Kerensky survives this war, and can be prevailed
upon to to America for a visit, he will receive
the welcome that America pays to her heroes No
foreigner has ever shown spirit in fighting
Americas battles than has young Kerensky He is
doing at this time work that is for America
work that appeals to Congress because it has the
form and outline that the work did that faced
of Americas youngsters century and half ago.

The City of Washington.

That Washington is destined to become the most
beautiful city in the world is being realized and
more the days go by-but we wonder if each in
divdua in the city appreciates the part he is playing in
the plans to make it so.
As man keeps faith with himself so is he valued
a unit in a community. The ideal will never be
realized for society is formed there bound to be
much dross. OF the fit men, therefore, there is, of
course tremendous majority and get the best from
the best there must be dreams and dreamers and those
capable of interpreting and carrying into effect the
purposes back of these dreams and desires.
As time goes Washington will become one of
the great cities of the world. After the war it will be
even more important National Capital-indeed it
will become world capital To make it the first city,
and to so that its government will reflect the
stability OF people present problems worth the aten-
tOn of foremost citizens. We have in power a
national government in sympathy with the aims and
ambitions of the District and should encourage the
new apPointees by every within the power of
each of US.
So unit you directly interested and insofar
as your character commands respect you will
influence others in uphoding the hands of those who
unselhshly seeking the advancement of Washington
as social, commercial and industrial center

Rouses the Ire Of Iowa.

Mr.. Brisbane does Iowa injustice-far be it
from his intention, we know-when he says
"Iowa, we trust, will not change, but continue
sending its elderly to Los Angeles, where
they can see a little real life before they die.
ITO live all your life in Iowa, and then be
chloroformed, just you are getting old enough
to escape to Los Angeles would be little too
hard"
Now Iowa raises more wheat, corn, cattle and hogs
and less hell than any State in which Mr.. Brisbane
ever lived And wheat corn, cattle and hogs are what
we need very much While hell is, manifestly what
we do not need at ALL
Mr.. Brisbane owes it to Iowa to apologize Either
that or be sentenced to help pick lowa's mammoth
crop of corn this fall So far Iowa is concerned
it would be better to have him go there than to
deavor to secure retraction Of his most unknd state
ment. For if Mr.. Brisbane saw Iowa as she is, he
would be both sorry for what he said and convinced
of his error in saying it,
But if he remained here and allowed re-
traction to suffice he still might cherish forever in
his own mind, the lurking suspicion that what he said
about the Hawkeye State justified and borne out
by facts.

my Country, Right or Wrong ~

Former Senator, now Representative, Mason, of
Illinois, arose yesterday to reply to the charges of Rep
resentative HeAin that he was under suspicion" of
treason to his country.
Representative Mason has been a conspicuous legis-
lator for thirty years. He has neither sought nor
evaded the limelight in his long A man of
rare ability he has just fallen short of statesmanke
qualities He has fought many fight without Anching
and in defeat has been more pugnacious than mag
nanimous In Illinois he is the idol of his friends and
the arch enemy of his opponents.
From the report of yesterdays speech Mr.
Mason affirms his loyalty to his country, reads into
the Record that he is of English birth and that he
hates the German autocracy sincerely as Mr. Roose-
ve and Re emphasized his position by saying I'VE are
in the war now and r:t subscribe to the doctrine
-of-'my country, right or wrong"
All of which leads us to remark that it is about
time to bus this hatehst OF dseordthe edge of which
