TO all intents and purposes this
nation has some stirring times before
IL. 1t is o time when thoughtless
words and actions meaning little in
themselves may have unexpected con.
sequences. 1t is very true that this
is free country and freedom of
speech Is guaranteed. On the other
hand, with our mixed population, it
is the part of man TO avoid those
things which might ;ndame the emo.
tiOns OF others. On the other hand,
only dog is accredited with the in.
cIination to bite the hand that feeds
him. We cannot concern ourselves
with what each man thinks. But he
should be circumspect in what he
says. That American citizen that
refuses to act his part in this time
Of national stress is not worthy Of
further enjoyment OF those privileges
which thousands Of Europeans
Of all nations-have crossed the va.
ter to secure. The American nation
will take care Of itself. The indi-
vidual that would rail at or injure its
progress must do 80 at his own peril
He may create unpleasant conditions
for himself as we'll as for others
but his efforts would be Of no prac.
tical value. So why tempt fate?

When one looks back few weeks
and calls to mind the developments
in official circles, it is easy to see that
this present step of the American gov
eminent in sevcring relations with
Germany has been looming up in the
distance for several weeks. For in
stance, when Secretary Lansing issued
his notorious statement that We were
ION the verge of war;" he was right.
Only it seems he nearly spilled the
beans by letting the cat out Of the bag
too soon.. Closely following that in
cidcnt came the news that Pershing
was to be recalled from Mexico, dcs-
pite the fact that conditions were no
better in the war-torn neighbor to the
south than when Pershing first cross
ed the line. Also, the guard which
had been concentrated on the border
for military instruction since last sum-
mer, has been broken up and placed at
advantageous positions throughout the
United States. For instance, the
North Dakota troops are at Smelling in
Minnesota Any rioting or internal
trouble could be met hurriedly and ef-
fectivcly.
Reports indicate that the New York
guard is already in service, that Ger
mans of questionable allegiance are
being informed and that prize crews
are taking the place of imprisoned
German sailors from German merch-
antmcn interned in American ports
since the beginning of the war
In any case, the best arrangements
have been made for temporary protec-
ton in case anything unforeseen should
happen. Arsenals and munition plants
have been turned over to the govern
ment and military guards will be plac-
ed to protect them from persons who
might seek to blow them up.
In the meantime, the American pub.
lie will wait with bated breath for the
next important development.

CAUSED SUICIDE OF
SChUETY is BELIEF

Alfred Mackey, farmer residing
near Manning, who was shot twice
through the leg last Wednesday
evening by Frank Schuety, a neigh
Dor, who then took his own life, is
improving slowly. He is at the Dick
inson hospital, where he was taken
after being wounded. Unless infec--
ton develops from the wound, no seri-
u result is expected.
Mackey declares that he had no
quarrel with his assailant, but that the.
latter, seemingly unbalanced by heavy
drinking and worry, began firing on
him Immediately after ordering him
from the place and declaring that he
would shoot him. Schuety fred one,
shot from a revolver and one from
a rifle, both striking Mackey in the.
leg and then fired the rifle again as:
Mackey was driving away. The
shooting took place at the home Of
Schuety's brother, Charles, where.
Mackey had gone, as a favor to-
Schuety, to ask his brother to come.
to his house. Schuety ran across the
field to his brothers place while.
Mackey was there and Immediately
opened fire.
It is said that Schuety had brooded
for some time over the possibility that
he would be called on to enlist, and
that he had declared on different oc-
casions that he would kill himself
rather than join the army.
