from Russian sources, that the or

TO the Patriotic and Protestant Con-
federate Veterans of Macon:
Who, in obedience to Southern pat
riotisnl, love OF chaste homes and
firesides, kindly begged the Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy to call off
the invitation they had extended to
Bishop Kelley to address the Veter-
ans on their Memorial Day-a day
most sacred TO those war-scarred
Veterans who Will be present at SO
few more Memorial Days, and who
were refused this favor, by the
Daughters.
Personally l am not surprised, nor
so pasaiOnately indignant, since
foresaw this attitude Of the Daugh-
ters several years aGo-their z9al
for publicity had outrun all their re-
gard for the Veterans.
The parting of the ways seems to
have come, and our only hope to save
the South from Romanism is to stand
pat; so ahead with your program,
separately from that which the
Daughters have arranged with their
Roman Bishop. We old Vets of
Cuthbert are with you, and our Pro-
testant rural Daughters, who are
speaking Of organizing, to cooperate
with the Protestants and Veterans.
Many good wishes for a most glo-
rious celebration, on April 10th;
many Of us wish ~ might be with
you, but we have our Memorial on
the same day; and if you need an
other pig to help feed the crowd, let
me hear from You, and | will send it,

consisting of patriotic Americans. They lnsan-
uate that no others have a right to organize Tor

They refer to the actions Of patriotic organlza-
tions as dark lantern caucusses unoernano
methods Of selecting governors, mempers Oh tne

are expected of any and all candidated Tor pupilc

The federal exports administration
board has issued long. list Of articles,
including wheat, which will be. per-
mitted to be shipped from this coun-
try only when they contribute to ac-
tual war purposes. In consequence
thereof the representatives Of Scandi-
navian countries in Washington say
their nations will be the first to feel
the pinch of famine. The Swedish
people, says that country's represen-
tative, are only permitted at this time
seven ounces of rye or wheat flour
per head daily, the smallest ration in
Europe, and, then again, the Swedish
grain crop this year is only two
thirds normal. Hence starvation,
with the prohibition of wheat exports,
stares the population of this country
in the face. Hard lines, to be sure,
but the United States would not be
justified, under the circumstances, in
giving one neutral nation preference
over another.

sWEDE AUTOCRATs BLAMABLE.

SWEDE AUTOCRATS BLAMABLE.
That patriotic American of Swedish
ancestry, M. S. Norelius, in his wide
awake Chisago County Press, draws
the line between the common people Of
Sweden and the officeholding auto
Gratis of that country. He says:
But in judging Sweden's motives,
whatever they may be at this hour,
one should be careful to draw the same
distinction between the Swedish gov
eminent and Swedish people that
President Wilson has drawn between
the German government and German
people. The interesting question now
arises, if the Branting party, which is
strongly pro-ally, is strong enough to
control the pro German military party
and the aristocrats ard thus prevent
the kaiser from closing his cleverly
drawn net about Sweden. Let Us hope
that the common masses of Sweden
will be victorious and that the kaiser
will fail in his attempt. Should Swe-
den enter the war on the side of Ger
many she will have to take the conse-
quences. By espousing the German
cause, she will ultimately be an insig-
nificient vassal of the kaiser's and, if
that is what she is looking for, we
feel very sorry for her. Let US hope
that the unpleasant suspicion that
Sweden is now resting under will be
cleared away to the satisfaction of our
country and her allies. She must
purge herself before the whole world
or else take the consequences.

atty to President Wilson and his con!
duct Of the war. No man has stopped
to ask whether a speaker was a repub--
5lican or a. democrat. It has hardly
been thought Of, and never mentioned,
except when a republican cited his re-
publicanism to show that he was putt
ting patriotism ahead of party. @
The good feeling among democrats
has been demonstrated lately in vari-
Gus ways. Many democratic papers
have praised Governor Burnquist for
his firm stand against disloyal meet
ings. Democrats have declared that
Knute Nelson will have no real OPP
position to the senate next year, if he
will consent to run again. This opin-
ion was first voiced by Dan w. Lawler,
who was Senator Nelson's opponent
when he last ran, in 1912.
This, at any rate, is certain: If any
copperhead congressman or disloyal
candidates for other offices do run the
gauntlet Of the primaries successfully
patriotic republicans and democrats
stand ready to sink all party differ
ences at the polls, and vote for loyal
nominee on whatever ticket his name
appears. .. #...- s'a

patch Of the German diplomatic agent

buccaneering ever stained the annals
of the cruelest pirate of the Spanish
main. Germany and Argentina are

d'atfaires was guest Of the people
of Buepos Aires. Yet the unfeeling
monster recommended to his govern
ment, under cover of the Swedish lega-
ton, to destroy the property of these
people and then murder them in cold
blood so they could give no testimony.

1t is an abominable outrage upon
the loyal people of Minneapolis and
those of the country generally that the
public schools Of the mill city are
permitted to allow the song, "Hail
Kaiser to Thee" set to the music of
America" to appear in the text books
of the German classes. Not alone this.
but fullpage portraits of the kaiser
and texts clarifying Germany, her
armies and her military and political
policies also appear. This leads us to
ask why Schultze, state superintendent
Of education, has allowed such text
books to be used. There appears to
be reason for investigation of the
superintendent procedure.

Reasonable Prices for Potatoes.

Quite number of potato jobbers are
in Washington this week to consult
with Mr.. Hoover and other govern
ment officials relative to the crop,
storage and prices, With the price
Of wheat fixed at $3.50 per bushel,
good, marketable potatoes, within 100
or $50 miles of the twin cities, ought
to be worth at least $1.0O per bushel
at the primary marketing points. The
dealer who handles the potatoes is en-
titled to fair profit, but he is not
entitled to rs or 100 per cent profit.
With the present high prices paid
laboring men, $1.25 or even $1.35 per
bushel would not be an exorbitant
price to pay for potatoes in the Cities
The Union would not urge farmers
to hold potatoes for high prices, but
we do advise them not to crowd the
market early. in the fall, and to sell
when reasonably good prices can be
obtained, and we consider $1.0O a
bushel a reasonable price.

Steinhauser, the New Ulm copper
head, who refused to fly Old Glory

conduct that it was a rebuke to Gov

herself to be- used as tool by Ger

be the one to suffer. There is scarcely
a doubt as to her guilt Notwithstanding
she is making an attempt to place the
blame upon others. However, if she

in the face of the strong evidence
which has been adduced against her,
she should be given credit for superior
