University Notes

Optimistic to the last letter has been
the reports received from the William
cite university Glee club, during the
first week of its six weeks tour. The
Inc people of Eastern Oregon are be-
ing aroused to the fact that William
ette Is an institution, whose students
possess unusual ability. The men are
entertaining with concert that can
not be excelled, and they are appreci-
.ated by their hearers.
As an advertising medium for the
college, the club would be hard to
beat. People who pictured the school as
inferior now realize that she is among
the best. The high school students are
well impressed with the warblers and
by seeing them in action, many have
decided to some to Willamette after
their preparatory course.
After each concert the men gain a
greater amount of confidence. The
first concert was at Madras, other
towns visited in order We're, Redmond,
Prineville, Bend, Wasco and Moro. AT
Bend the most successful appearance
was made, the local high school had
charge of the event and netted profit
OF $40. A large number of alumni greet
them at each town. Manager Sleeves

the Pacific Coast, also will be taken
up.
Several social events, the feature of

oLeER .. BURTNEss.

Republicans of the First congress
! sional district of North Dakota have
placed before the voters a candidate of
whom they have good reason to be
proud.
At Grand Forks yesterday, Olger B.
Burtness. Of that city, was Endorsed in
convention. Three other candidates,
who had filed petitions for nomination.
bowed to the will of the convention and
withdrew their names. They were
Judge Wick, OF Cavalier; Fred T. Cuth-
bert, OF Devils Lake, and Charles Plain,
OF Milton.
p While the old convention system was
used there can be no question but that
Mr.. Burtness was the spontaneous
choice of the Republicans Of the First
district. The ward caucuses had been
we'll attended and the convention was
a most representative one.
Mr.. Burtness is a typical, vigorous
young American. He was born and
reared on a farm in Grand Forks coun-
ty, where his parents still reside. He
was graduated from the University of
North Dakota, where he was active in
athletics, being a member OF the uni
versity football team. For two terms
he has held the ONCE of states attor-
ney Of Grand Forks county, and his
record has been one of vigor and eff
cheney. He was elected as a delegate
to the Republican national convention
last year, running as a Progressive
Republican.
Mr.. Burtness is the type Of man who
is needed in the First district at this
time He is a clean cut American, in
tensely loyal and ambitious. II elected
he would undoubtedly tackle his Job
of serving the voters of the First dis
trict, with tremendous enthusiasm
and energy.
Regardless Of party or factional az
filiation, voters of the First district,
who view the situation wisely and dis
passionately, should find in Mr.. Burt
ness a candidate who fully measures
up to the requirements of a wartime
representative who will give the very
best service he has to offer to his
country and to his district.

The Paris Journal Reports the Latest
Example of Prussian War Ethics.
"AlTs fair in love and war;" says
the old proverb, but most civilized
people have agreed that both games
should be played according to certain
established rules, says The Literary
Digest. The brave German sailors,
however, perhaps consider that they
would be acting in a manner deroga-
tory to their kultur If they followed
the common herd too closely in OBJ
serving them. Accordingly they don't,
says The Paris Journal, which pro-
ceeds to record the latest example of
Prussian Gemuetlichkeit:
Count Won Ukner, in command Of
a German corsair (the armed bark
Seeadler, reported in the Atlantic a
month ago.. shot at and sank French
steamer after himself sending out the
S. o. S. distress signal. The French
steamer, answering the S. 0. s., rush
ed to the rescue. The details of what
happened are given by the captain,
who says: When we received the 8.
o. S. from a ship pretending to be the
Norwegian vessel Bergen / gave or
ders to rush to the point indicated, at
the same time wirelessing that we
were coming at full steam. When we
made the ship she appeared to be
floating normally, but with all lights

three lengths of her searchlight was

was lowered and replaced by a German

AN INsIpIoUs HALF TRUTH.

Give us democracy at home before
we fight for democracy abroad" Is a
cry that is heard on many sides in
America today.
It is one Of the most dangerous and
insidious half truths that the war has
developed. 1t is being repeated by
every faction with grievance, from
the !. w. w. to the settlement workers,
"intellectuals" and pacifists.
I'VE haven't attained perfection in
democracy in America,-far from 1t.
We have poverty, exorbitant living
costs, unemployment, oppression, in
justice, and greed. But who would ex-
change our system of government for
the German? Who would trade our
President for the Kaiser? If it were a
choice between exchanging our imper-
feet democracy for perfection, there
wouldn't be any hesitation about it.
But it is a choice between our pres
ent democracy and a complete autoc-
racy. We are fighting to retain what
we have won by centuries of struggle,
and the right to progress still further
toward the goal of government of the
people, for the people, by the people.
1t is the strangest incongruity Of the
present war that the extreme radicals
in all countries have permitted them
selves to be driven into the camp of
the reactionaries because revolution
drags too slowly to suit them. War
makes strange bedfellows, and none
are stranger than the Germans and the
radical Socialists Of all countries. In
both Russia and America the extreme
radicals are preaching the cause of
Germany. Not word is ever heard at
their meetings of the Belgian out
RACES; the Armenian slaughter; the
U-boat tragedies; the killing Of women
and children.
There is a big difference between
saying give us democracy at home
before we fight for democracy abroad"
and saying I'VE have many shortcom-
.ings in our system of government
which we want rectifed as soon as
possible, but meanwhile we will fight
10 our last dollar and our last man
for what we have won" It is the diff
ference between treason and patri-
otism Of the highest type.

COMPANY ASKS TO Be
RELEASED FROM CONTRACT
Another Angle 5obs Up In Question
of Building a New High School at
Grand Forks, ~. D,

Grand Forks, N. D., June 21.-The
question of building the new Grand
Forks high school, which went
through the courts for several months,
again has come to the front with the
request of the Gray, Construction COM
pany of Waterfowl, S. D., to be re-
leased from the contract.
Early in the spring, the board of
education became involved in a.
rather sharp exchange of views with
the Gray company and matters now
have come to a head, the firm declar-
ing that it is unable to complete the
work as per specifications The diff
culties that are in the way of the ex-
peditious prosecution of the work due
to the rejection of material that did
not comply with plans and speci-
f1cations.
After giving the Watertown COM
pany time to go ahead Gith, the work,
and, following the company's request
for release, the board has had to take
the question up with the Northwest
ern Trust company Of this city, as
surety on the contractors bond.
1t is expected that an agreement
will be reached within few days.

THE KAISER AND THE
SOCIALISTS.
BY William English Walling
of the Vigilantes.

What has the Kaiser to do with the
Socialists?
We know that the support of the
Socialists inside Of Germany was re-
garded as very valuable and that
there was not much difficulty in OBJ
tanning this support. But what has
the Kaiser to ask for and what CAM he
other countries? The Kaiser has just
two things to ask of the Socialists OF
Russia, America, England, France and
Italy:
i. That these Socialists support
him in his demand for peace at such
a time as German arms have attained
their maximum possible strength,
namely, at that time which Clause
WITT. the Greatest Of all German mill
victory"
2. That these non-German Social
lists should create the maximum diff
cuIties for their governments, for ex-
ample, by asking for unattainable
economic demands for a degree OF
personal freedom impossible in war
time, and above all by anti-war riots
and rebellion against all existing gov
ernments (outside of Germany.
The Kaiser's program for Socialists
(outside of Germany is being carried
out almost to the letter-at least by a
part of the Socialists in all the En-
tente countries. 1t is hardly necessary
to refer to Russia, as the condition IN
that country can be noted on the first
page of the newspapers every morn
Ing. But we must recall that the
Socialist party of America has taken
almost the same position as the
Socialists in control of the Russian
council OF workmen's and soldiers
delegates. This has gone so Tar that
the self-respecting American Social
