The President Knew 1t.


This document has been in the
hands of the government since Pres

kept secret while the President has
been asking Congress for full author
ity to deal with Germany, and while
Congress has been hesitating.
1t was in the Presidents hands
while Chancellor Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg was declaring that the United
States had placed an Interpretation

intended by Germany" and that Ger
many had promoted and honored
friendly relations with the United

All Details Would Inflame America.

The full extent Of the evidence o
Germanys plotting against the United
States, gathered by the American
secret service. may become known
only according to the course of the
future relations between the two coun-
tries. 1t is known that much evidence
of the operations of the German en-
bassy and persons who were, respon-
sible to it never has been permitted
to come out because officials prefer
red to guard against infaming the
public mind in the tense situation with
Germany. The public amazement
which full exposition Of the evidence
in the hands of the government would
cause, cannot be overestimated.
Only today the Council of National
Defense, created by act of Congress,
issued an appeal to all Americans to
show every consideration for aliens ia
this country
I'VE call upon all citizens said
the appeal, 'if untoward events should
come upon us, to present to these
aliens many of whom tomorrow will
he Americans, an attitude Of neither
suspicion nor aggressiveness, We
urge upon all Americans to meet these
millions of foreign born with un'
changed manner and with unpreiu
diced mind"

Herald of Aug. 16, 1873.
The first water melons of the sea-
son were peddled in the streets on
Wednesday.
The Pope County Agricultural Fair
will be held at Glenwood on Friday
and Saturday, Oct. 8 and 4.
Lancaster and Boss have bought a
new planning machine for their factory
and will have it in place ready for
operation in few days.
Enlarging.-Mr. J. j. Weber has
raised his building on Third Street to
two stories and will extend it sixteen
feet in the rear which will make it
forty feet long.
Accident.-On Sunday morning
Hon. A. Barto had the misfortune to
dislocate his elbow joint. He had got
into his buggy and in moving over to
make room for his wife he made a
mis-step and fell out striking on his
his arm.
The Fair.-Today we publish the
premium list of the Third Annual
Fair of the Stearns County Agricul-
tural Society, to be held in this town
on the 10th, 18th and 18th of Septem-
Der, and also a list of purses to be
given by the Sank Centre Driving

HAVE FINE NEW HOME.

Last weeks Herald neglected to
chronicle the fact that Christie & Cut
ten have recently moved the newspa-
per plant of the Red Lake Falls Ga
zette into a new and modern home
built especially to fit their needs.
Herald readers will recall that the
young men suffered the loss OF their
entire plant by fire in February. They
have worked under difficulties since
then but have managed nevertheless,
to publish a frst-class paper mean
while. Horace Cutten was for many
years foreman in the Herald office,
and George Christie is Long Prairie
boy. The Herald congratulates them
upon the pep and never-say-die spirit
displayed in the last few months, and
they now have the satisfaction of feel
ing that they have one of the most
modern print shops in Minnesota.

IMPERIAL ARROGANCY.

A bill has bee introduced in con
gress providing that whenever news
paper printed in the United States ane
printed in the language of any of the
countries with which this nation is al
war, makes any editorial comment or
the war or publishes any war news de-
rived from any sources, that they be
required to print in a parallel column
a TRANSLATION in the English Ian
guage.
This is only bill or ordinary mill
tary precaution and is in no way I'M
reasonable, in fact, it is extraordin-
aryly liberal, measured by European
standards.
The strong German press of this
Country and the Imperial organs OF
Germany however, are protesting
most vigorously and denounceing the
measure as one of tyrrany and oppres-
sion.
A leading paper published in Berlin
says in substance. "This means that
there shall be two classes of citizens
in the United States, Anglo Saxon
dominent and German subject"
1t might be interesting to note the
action of the Imperial government OF
Germany along the same lines.
We had the pleasure of talking with
a student who returned from Germany
at the beginning of the war. He in
formed US that every newspaper in
Germany published in any language
but German had been suppressed. Nc
public services, religious, or of any
other character, were permitted to be
held in any language except German
All conversations in cafes, hotels, lob
bies or any public places were barred
except those held in German.
The German governmental organs
wall because there is a prospect of a
requirement that all war matters
must be published in English or q
translation given and then vigorously
requires all public conversation print
and publication to be in German with.
in its own dominions.
The action of the Imperial Germans
in this country and in Germany, in
this matter, compared to their own &C
ton in their own country is an ex
ample of imperial arrogancy without
parrellel.
In the United States the war should
be carried on in the language of the
United States.

IF YOU DON'T SHOW 1T, THEY
WON'T KONW YOU HAVE
COT 1T

A mother had spent considerable
time and labor on a new white dress
for her little girls and when it was
finished her small daughter insisted
that she put it right on and go down
town.
"No, my child" said the mother,
''This dress is not for every day, it
is only for special occasions and
can be worn only once in a long
WHILE"
"But, mamma" urged the little girl
eff 1 don't show it, how will folks
, know I've got it,"
The same idea was expressed by the
ragged newsboy, who was Justify
crying his papers.
"Why do you yell so loud sonny?"
asked an elderly man, "is it neces-
sary."
eff 1 don't yell and tell how will
folks know I've papers to sell? was
the answer of the embryo financier.
In the answers of the little girl and
the small newsboy is found the con-
centrated essence of worldly success.
If you have anything, no matter
what the thing possessed may be, and
you desire others to know you have it
for the purpose of disposing of it,
or for any other reason, there are
only two ways you can convey that
knowledge to them and that is by
Showing" them or telling" them.
In the cities the department stores
employ experts and spend thousands
of dollars in window displays and
newspaper advertising to "show" the
people what they have.
show" the people what they have.
The annual advertising bill of the
United States is over S1OO,OO0,O00 or
more than dollar for each man,
woman and child in the country. The
business men of the United States
pay this vast sum every year to tell
they people what they have.
We have talked and written about
the multitudinous advantages of the
glorious Sank Valley till our mutter-
ings have become monotonous and
our screeds merely repetitions.
In this golden crop year, however,
these advantages were never more
apparent and its desirabilities more
manifest.
If it is desirable that others should
become aware of the things we pos
sess in order that they may become
DESTROYS of sharing them with us, we
must "show" them or "tell" them.
The Stearns County Fair, is the
great show window of the wonderful
valley of the Sank.
Place your exhibits in this window
and put in an appearance yourselves

MEN, WOMEN
and THINGS
By F. NJ. E.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Just a Suggestion.
1t is stated that it makes our boys
in France fighting made TO call them
"Sammies," and no wonder. 1t has a
sissy sound. Why not combine the
first two syllables of the battle words
of the civil war, yankee" and "Dix-
ie," and call them "Yankdix
Tact and Hats.
The woman who never says: 81 told
you so," when her husband falls down
in any of his undertakings is always
the one that wears the most stylish
hat.
A Poorer One.
1t is a poor rule that won't work
both ways, but it is poorer one that
will not work one way.
Lovers Lane.
Any old lane is Lovers Lane in
Overtime.
The Only Two.
A man and pig are the only two
animals in the world that grunt when
nothing ails them.
1t Is Different.
A young fellow will kick like mule
if he has to hold his baby sister three
minutes, but he will hold somebody
elses' Is year old sister three hours
and three minutes and never zip a
zip.
Not Necessary.
If war drink is cut out it will not
be necessary for the country to re-
sort to war bread.
If Language Were Ammunition.
If words were bullets congress has
shot off enough in the last few months
to destroy three whole German
armies.
Not Poetry But Truth.
Shakespeare says "Thrice armed is
he who has his quarrel just" and he
should have added: "But the one who
wins he gets his blow in fust."
Looks That Way.
The Imperial agents of the Imperial
government may not have anything to
do with the instigating of the "Peace
Meetings." being held in the country,
but persual of the names of the
managers looks like it.
The Only Reason.
The only reason that women have
not long ago received equal political
rights with men is women.
Might Have Been Even Worse.
An Irish wash-lady who was en-
ployed by facetious, elderly maiden
lady appeared one morning with a
discolored optic.
what ails your eye, Kate? asked
her employer.
Gerry came home full last night
and smacked me cause supper wasn't
ready" was the reply.
"Well," jocularly replied the mis-.
tress, "it might have been worse, he
might have BACKED both your eyes,"
at might have been even worser
nor that" replied Kate. "Like your
self, moight never have been able to
find a man who would have me-"

Age Creates Doubt.
When boy is six he thinks his
dad knows everything; when he is
sixteen he doubt if he knows any,
thing.
Why Complain?
Why should anyone complain be-
cause chickens wear chic gowns?
Why They Wed.
Soldiers returning from the front
generally wed at the earliest possible
