The Sauk Centre herald., 1917-09-13
A WORD OF CAUTION

1t seems unnecessary to repeat what
the Herald has so often stated that
the United States of America is at
war with the Imperial Government of
Germany and that armed hostilities
exist between the two countries.
1t also seems unnecessary to re-
state that regulations in time of war
are quite different than in time of
peace.
Any opposition to governmental
measures in time of war are regarded
as seditious and reasonable and SUBJ
jects the perpetrators to severe pains
and penalties.
Any public conversation, printed
publication, or organized meetings for
the purpose of obstructing or delay
ing the operations of the government
in the prosecution of war measures is
liable to be visited by the severest
penalties.
This is quite generally understood,
but there is point in this connection
that is not quite so we'll understood,
and the purpose of this article is to
call attention to this point.
The general impression is that a
man is only responsible for his own
actions and in no way responsible for
what others may do or say, but this
is far from being the case.
Business men of every class should
bear in mind that they are not only
responsible for what they, themselves,
The Sauk Centre herald., 1917-09-13

do, but they are also responsible for
what occurs in their places of busi-
ness. To state the matter plainly
merchants, hotel keepers, saloon own
ers, and owners of all kinds of bust
ness places are not only responsible
for what they, themselves, may say
or do, but they are responsible fol
what their employees and customers
say and do in their business places
during business hours, and if they
permit seditious conversation or treas
enable utterances in their establish
ments during business hours they are
as responsible as if they held the con.
versation and performed the actions
themselves.
During the last week we have heard
statements made and conversations
have taken place in at least two places
of business in this city whose owners
are strictly all right and loyal, which
if reported to the Safety Commission
might have caused serious consequen-
ces, possibly entailing the closing OF
their places of business.
This article is not written in the
spirit of criticism or fault-fnding but
is intended as a word of friendly eau
ton and for the information of busi-
ness men, so that they may know that
in war time a business man is held
responsible for everything that is said
and done in his place Of business dur
ing business hours.

1T WAS EVER THUS

Whenever there are great national
and international issues at stake, re-
quiring action and decision on the part
of public men and governmental and
state officials, then it is that the char
acters of men disclose themselves and
the crisis that now confronts America
is no exception to the rule.
When President Wilson issued his
great ultimatum to the Imperial gov
ernment of Germany the searchlight
was turned on the souls of men and
and their makeup was disclosed to
the public.
The major portion of our represen-
tativs and officials did not hesitate.
They declared the President was right
in his action, the honor of the country
was at stake and the only honorable
thing to do was to stand by the Pres
ident and the government to the ul-
innate ultimateness.
These men did not wait for refer
endum; they did not wait to hear from
their constituents; thy did not parley-
fox and split hairs; they did not weigh
their chances of reelection. Without
flourish of trumpets, self-glorification
or reservation, they declared they
were for the President and for Amer
lea. Such men are credit to the
country, a justification of Democratic
government, and are to be trusted in
times of stress or danger, and, thank
the Lord, a majority of our public
men were of this class.
But there were few who did not
dare to take a stand, who waited to
hear from home, who did not ask: "is
this thing right ?" and anxiously in
quired: "is it going to prove popu-
lar?" They did not care continental
how the United States was going t.
be affected, but they were nightly
concerned as to how their own re-
election was to be affected.
When a public officials sole con-
cern his own reelection, he ceases
to be of the least value to his con-
stituents. When an official waits un-
til the cat jumps before he takes ac-
tion, he is going to jump with the cat
whether it jumps right or wrong. The
majority of the people are generally
right andthe representative of the peo-
pie who does not know what is right
and that large majority of the peo-
pie will back the right is unfit to rep
resent the people. An official that
stands on the fence Of public opinion
with one hand extended to those on
the right side of the fence and the !
other extended to those on the wrong |
side in an impossible endeavor to |
bring the right and the wrong togeth-
er in one common field, is more worth
less than the one who jumps clear
over on the wrong side and champions
the cause of wrong. An iron enemy
The Sauk Centre herald., 1917-09-13

themselves and not by results for hu-
manity and they are more concerned
about the success of their campaigns
than they are about the success of
American arms.
There are quite a number of these
dubs rafting around in public posi-
tlons at the present time and you can
bet your last picayune that they will
be after their old places next year.
The next two years will decide the
fate of America and the world. The
men selected at the next election will
hold in their hands the destiny of
America and humanity and there nev.
er was time in the past and there
never will be time in the future
when it was so incumbent on the vot.
ers to select the best.
They should only put men who have
stood the test of fire and steel ir
place. They should bear in mind that
the only safe man is the man who was
right from the beginning and remain
ed right all the time; that man wht
is only right because it is popular
right because the other fellow is right
only half the time is more dangerou!
than a man who is wholly in error.
The Sauk Centre herald., 1917-09-13
S much preferable to clay half and

is much preferable to clay half and
half.
There were quite number of our
officials who, when this crisis came,
did not know where they were at.
They did not dare to make a move or
say a word until they found out where
the majority stood. Being time-ser-
vers, self-gratifyers, vacillators and
changelings themselves, they natural
ly concluded that the people were
built the same way and they waited
for developments.
When the great patriotic heart of
America spoke in no uncertain terms,
then these uncertainties grabbed the
American flag that they had hidden
under their beds and waving it aloft
suddenly discovered that they had
tongues and that they could talk.
Rushing into the lead they waved
aloft their banners and denounced
Kaiserism, imperialism and absolu-
tism in two thousand seventeen hund-
red and seventeen different ways
These are the class that cheer our
volunteers most vociferously, but who
do not enlist themselves; they pat the
selected men on the back and file af-
fdavits of exemption for their own
sons. They glorify the Red Cross and
then buy the cheapest yarn they can
find on the warket for the female
members of their family to knit
sweaters, wristlets and socks for the
boys over there; they gauge wa,
measures by standard of votes fo1

AN ASTOUNDING REVELATION.

The Secretary of State, without note
or comment on Saturday last furnish
ed to the American press the start
ling information that the German
Charge de Affairs in Buenos Aires has
been forwarding information not only
in regard to the sailing of South Am
erican ships, but information regard
ing the sailing of United States ships
and transports to the authorities at
Berlin and that this information has
been forwarded through the Swedish
legation at Argentina in secret code
to Stockholm and from thence to Ber-
lin. The original dispatches are given
and there can remain no doubt as to
their authenticity.
The Secretary makes no statement
as to how he obtained these dispatches
and makes no charges that the Swed-
ish government was cognizant of the
action in Argentina, but simply prints
the bald messages in all their hideous
brutality without comment.
This is the most startling occurrence
that has transpired since the United
States has entered the war. Both
Sweden and Argentina are neutral ma
tions and are, or at least were suppos-
ed to be, on the friendliest terms with
this government.
This act is the gravest possible Of
fense that one neutral nation can
commit against another. In fact it is
a Causus Belli of the most serious
character.
1t seems to us that the only course
for this government to pursue is to
demand of Sweden an immediate dis
avowal of the acts of it's legation in
Argentina and an insistence of the in
stantaneous withdrawal of that lega-
tion and to demand that Argentina
join with this government in that de-
mand and in case of refusal to
promptly sever all intercourse and di-
plomatic relations with those coun-
tries. Things have reached stage in
world affairs when no shilly-shallying
or dilly-dallying should be permitted.
Almost every day this government is
sending transports laden whit troops
and supplies across the seas and it
cannot permit, and it should not per-
NIT the representatives of any neutral
nation to send the foe information re-
garding such sailings as would result
in destruction of property or the loss
of life.
We await with great interest the
action of the government in this mat
ter. We hope it will show it's teeth |
in an unmiStakable manner,

The progressive farmer and business
man is realizing more and more each
week that libearal use of the Her
AIDS Classified Want Column brings
very gratifying results. The cost is

the average rate Of dividends on all
stock outstanding, including water,
was AS per cent, as compared with
80 per cent during the 1900-6 period
when they purchased cars to meet
the growing traffic.
In plain language, the railroad
owners increased the dividends to
themselves so per cent instead of
buying the new cars which the
growth Of business and agriculture
demanded.

GREED AND CAR SHORTAGE
All efforts Of the interstate COM
MERGE commission to put an end to
the shortage Of freight cars appear
to have been Unavailing. The net
shortage reported for March 1, which
has just been made public, was 1884,
973 cars, an increase Of 1885 over
February.
This increase in the car shortage
occurred in spite Of milder weather
which, it had been stated by railroad
officials, was all they needed to re-
Heve the situation.
The present car shortage is due
fundamentally to the fact that in re-
cent years the railroads have divert
ed income which should have been
expended on cars to the payment Of
larger dividends. Records Of the in
teTstate commerce commission show
that during the seven years ending
with 1906 the railroads stock Of
freight cars increased 472,3S3, while
during a similar period ending with
1914, the latest data available, the
number Of cars increased only 1885,
345.
During this period when the rail-
roads were failing to keep their stock
of cars up to the normal demands by
the purchase of additional cars, they
greatly increased their dividend
rates. The official records show that
during the period from 1908 to 1914,
when they cut down car purchases.

WATER PRESSURE. -

WATER PRESSURE. - the 1re
which destroyed st. Catharine's
church-in Austin last night brought
out the fact, stronger than ever, that
the water pressure in that section Of
the city is rank. Austinites have
been complaining for years about in
adequate water pressure. In the
summertime there is barely enough
push to the water to give a garden
a drink.
For the first twenty minutes of the
church fire firemen were unable to
make the water reach the roof.
Flames spread to the priests house
next door and made a great hole in
the roof before engines arrived to
pump water high enough to douse
the fire. Ordinarily, with proper
pressure, the damage to that house
would have amounted to practically
nothing.
It is high time something is done
to- give as big a section of Chicago
as Austin is, the proper water pres
sure to at least fight fires.
Austinites claim that Oak Park,
which gets it's water from Chicago
pumping stations, is better treated
than Chicago itself.

Submarines and a Cruiser Reported to Have Been Assembled in the
 South Atlantic.
HAVE MADE NEW BASE
French War Craft Also Reported to Be Busy Since German Raider
 Has Been Active.

NEW YORK. March S.-SiX large submarines, four British and two Italian, together with the 14,1OO.ton British armored cruiser Leyiathan, recently have been added 10 the British naval base at Bermuda, ac- cordlug to American passengers ar irving here today on the steamship 8crmudian from Bermuda.
 The submarines, the passengers said, were seen from the shore off the port of St. George for the first time last Thursday. and the Le- viathan came in Friday morning, a week ago. In addition to the Le. viathan end the submarines, the passengers added, q fleet of six or eight fast light cruisers flying the British and French flags are now making Bermuda a base, the flee; having been increased since news of the presence of a German raider in the Atlantic became known.
 Bermuda is under strict martial law, according Co one of the passen' gers who saw tho submarines. and military and naval secrets are close iy guarded. It has leaked out, how ever, he said. that the submarines were sent to Bermuda to be used in connection with other war craft in guarding the western transatlantic sea lanes. One report was that the submarines were assembled and equipped in Halifax, whence they proceeded to Bermuda under their own power.
 British naval records show that the Leyiathan was built in 1901, is Hcay, fly armored and equipped with two ninc-inch guns in addition to two lS-inch submerged torpedotuhes. Her speed $ rated at 23 knots.
