power to fix prices. He added that
the price Of 50 at the mines suggested

ANDREWS CANDIDATE FOR REP
Prominent Republican Newspaper
Publisher Said 10 Seek Election.

II has been reported on good au
thority that Roger NJ Andrews of
Menominee, publisher OF the Menomi
nee Herald-Leader. Is receptive
candidate for Congress from the elev-
enth district. which includes the east
ern section OF the upper peninsula
and a small portion of the lower pen
insula. Frank ID. Scott OF Alpena.
former state senator, is at present
representing the eleventh district al
Washington, serving his second term.
Mr. Andrews has been prominent
in Republican politics of the upper
peninsula for many years and Is
known to a great many people of the
copper country, who would watch
with interest an electoral contest IN
which he was a participant
Just how Congressman Scott stands
with the people OF his district Is
something about which the copper
country knows little. Some of the
newspapers. however, have not been
backward in saying things about him
that makes 1t patent they do not fee
any too kindly toward their repre-
sentative.
Menominee IA regarded as some
what hostile to Scott On different
occasions the Chamber OF Commerce
in that city has invited Congressman
James Of the Twelfth district to ad
dress its members, and short time
ago when Menominee people thought
an old soldier residing in their midst
was entitled to a pension they appeal
ed to Congressman James to handle
the case.
M Andrews is not known to hav,
intimated to friends that he would
like to serve his district in Congress
Perhaps this is due to the fact that
it's a little early for announcements
as the election Is more than a year
off. However, the primary campaign
is expected to open early next spring
because Michigan is to elect United
States senator for the term of William
Alden Smith expiring next year Cal

GERMAN BRUTALITY,

The editor had the privilege during
last week of listening to one who
heard Ambassador Gerard talk for
two hours shortly after his return
from Germany. During his two hours
talk Mr. Gerard never once offered
an opinion-he confined himself 70
telling what the Germans were doing
10 American citizens during the two
years they were neutrals. AT the end
OF the talk every man present at the
gathering it was in the nature OF a
private affair convinced that
war waged with the most vigorous
zeal was the only means whereby the
United States can escape Prussian
revenge
Some OF the indignities heaped up
on innocent people in Germany by the
German authorities is almost unbe-
lievable American consuls suffered
the most The life OF an American
consul in Germany from a period OF
about six months after the war broke
out was little less than hell upon
earth In one instance the wife Of
one OF our consuls, an excellent lady
OF the most upright character, was
turned over to some women searchers
and given a bath in lemon juice. be
sides being subjected to other unmen-
tionable indignities in an effort to at
tach to the lady the guilt of carrying
concealed information.
Mr. Gerard's campaign has done
more to awaken the people OF the
United States to the peril that threat
ened them than anything else that
has occurred

CROPS NEVER BETTER.

The editor had the opportunity Of
travelling through a great deal OF
Wisconsin and northern Illinois last
week and on all sides he saw better
crops that he saw on similar trips
during the past FIVE years
In eastern Wisconsin the grain
crops were never better A gentle
man told US that his yield OF barley
this year had never been excelled
Threshing Is now in full swing in
Wisconsin, the work being at least
two weeks later than in former years.
Corn in Wisconsin is not so good
as in Illinois where | saw excellent
fields of corn on all sides; in fact

much Of Il Is so far along that two

Illinois and southern Wisconsin on
account OF the drouth. They need

may affect the potato yields some.

LINE UP FOR AMERICA.

Up In Duluth they're going to
stand 'em up and count EN-" It's
mighty good proposal. Why not do
so In other places? Why not do so
in Crystal Falls? It's time In this
country that every man should stand
up and be counted. The sooner the
better. II this boasted freedom OF
our forefathers is simply condition
in which We get everything and give
nothing, it's time TO have a change
Nothing Is OF any value that doesn't
cost something. II is time TO place
some red ink against our citizenship.
Here Is what the Duluth papers
say about their proposed loyalty day,
and we commend 1t to the attention
OF our city and county authorities for
consideration as an example to fol-
low:
In a large measure, Saturdays
loyalty demonstration will be a
showing OF who's who in Du-
luth-of who is for America, II
not who is against America.
II is true that merely TO march
in a parade and to attend a pa
triotic meeting is not guaranty
OF loyalty.
But 1t Is also true that to stay
away when IL is possible to at
tend. or 20 stand on the sidewalk
and look sour, is a significant
measure OF patriotism-or the
lack OF II.
Every American who has heard
with dismay the open or stealthy
disaffectlon OF the lukewarm and
the brazenly disloyal will be glad
OF the chance this demonstration
offers TO testify by his presence
and his voice that he, at least. IS
for America heart and soul and
without reservation or qualihca-
tion.
Moreover, the demonstration Of
fers everybody a chance to give
the chosen men who are the pro-
duct Of the selectiye draft Wig
orous and cheering send-off and
that, too, is a chance that every
body should be glad 10 embrace.
Line up for America Saturday,
and join your voice to mighty
chorus OF loyalty and devotion that
