DIsLOYALTY IS DEAD IN MIMI!


urday and Sunday killed it.
"Our boys" have donned the Khaki.
The people left at home will see to
The people left at home will Sc to
it there is no stabbing in the back
The people at home have resolved to
present a united front to the enemy.
The pro- German propagandist who
attempts to create dissension at
home with the intention of hamper
ing the government had better be-
ware! Those who have selfish pur-
poses, or from prejudice, have mis-
guided their neighbors will in the
most part be wise enough to read the
signs of the times and hide them
selves. If the intention to do mis-
chief still remains in their breasts,
the malcontents will have sense
enough in the most cases to keep
their mouths Shut
1t still remains that the serpent
will bite without enchantment" but
it will stay in it's hole when it sees
danger.
The public meetings of Saturday
and Sunday, SO far as reported to the
Safety Commission, were uniformally
most enthusiastic, patriotic celebra-
tions. From one end of the State to
the other the sentiment has pene-
trated to the minds of almost every
body that the war is their Individual
concern. That sentiment produces
an instant resolution to stand behind
the country and it's legally consti-
tuted authorities, by deed as we'll as
word. Disaffection and disloyalty
have received their death blows in
Minnesota!
The action of Governor Burnquist,
in preventing this State from being
the storm center of national asso-
ciation, who, under the disguise of
| discussing peace, promotes dissen-
sion at home, has met general appro-
val. Everybody realizes that such
dissension is the shortest way to aid
and comfort the enemy. This action
q the Governor will have an effect
Nat will reach far beyond the boun-,
diaries of the State. 1t will wipe
from the minds of the people from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, that blot
on the States reputation placed
there by the now Infamous and much
regretted disloyal meeting at New
Ulm. It has been demonstrated to
the satisfaction of everybody whose
minds is open to conviction that,
even, at the New Ulm meeting the
true sentiment of the majority Of
the people in Brown county did not
find expression.
The pro-German organization, op-
! perating in Minnesota, seized in
stantly the Pope's peace proposal
and attempted to use it in a way
that could not be helpful. President
Wilson's remarkable State paper,
practically a proclamation to the ci-
viliZed world of Americas position,
check-mated the agitators' efforts in
this State. President Wilson's analy-
sis of the situation was so convinc-
ing, his reply showing the futility of
making an honest agreement with a
government whose word could not
be trusted, met such responsive
echoes in the minds and hearts, that
the use Of the Pope's PROPOSAL for
Safety Commission from it's repre-
sentatives in every county in the
State during the last week in August
show that the great North Star State
is patriotic to the core, is thoroughly
aroused to the situation, and from
now on can be relied upon to do
anything and everything in it's power
to help the great cause of liberty by
Fastening the day of a victorious
and lasting peace
