REPLIES to HUGH Kelley
Barabo0.

The writer has been reading some
of MIR. Hugh Kelley's wise sayings
from time to time i'm The News and
wishes to know if Mr.. Kelley is not
the man who criticised the bear
stories some years ago, and said they
were false and fiction fbut they were
not) and those STORIES came out in a
neat book later which is quite inter
esting. He said he had never seen
bear but of course we had and we
did not like to be disputed Of course
the writer for one felt quite mOrti-
fed, but now that Mr.. Kelley says
that he was fed on hard cider back
east we have come to the conclusion
that at the time he made the mistake
he had been drinking hard cider or
some other hard stuff and Of course
was not so much to blame. Yes, the
writer saw bears, many of them; saw
them dressed and hanging up in the
old pioneer days, and nothing looks
more like human body. That is the
reason my mother would never eat
bear meat. Yes, I saw people with
their clothing torn to atoms running
through brush to escape bear: it
was not shark, but bear. And now
If those young girls that Mr.. Kelley
told about that he had seen coming
out of the waters at Devils Lake with
scant clothing had seen Mr.. Kelley
they would surely have come to the
conclusion that they had seen shark
Ca land shark at least). Oh, yes! Mr..
Kelley proved that he saw the hop
picking machine. but Mr. Kelley was
never disputed in that. The writer
said she had never seen one.

QUICK ACTION

FOR a case of unhesitating, unerr-
ing, unequivocal, unexpected and I'M
calculating quick action, the raiding
of the blind pig" on Thursday after
noon was one of uniqueness in Bara-
boo history. Mayor Thuerer tele-
phoned . City Attorney V. FL. Cady,
Police Justice William Richie and
officer Herman Neitzel in about the
same breath. They all played their
parts so rapidly there was no chance
for a '1eak," as has sometimes oc-
Cured in the past In less than an
hour the offender wos fined, and the
only regret is the name Of the brewer
who has been furnishing the booze
right along was not made public. The
brewers have a way of escaping when
blind pigs are caught. If the mayor
and his lieutenants will carry their
campaign a little farther they may be
able, for the good of the community,
to cut several more notches in their
sticks For law, order, decency and
betterment of the town al should
back such quick action as the one
hour effort in the blind pig" case
It is to We regretted there is not
more of the attribute of alacrity in
many other court cases.

Every year the Lenten season gains
wider observance, partly because
many churches have always observed
it and even more SO because Chris
tians of every name have begun to
feel the need of remembering the
great experience which it commence
rates. This year the evidences of
this increasing enlightenment of the
American public are apparent to all
about us.
No recorded experience has ever
been studied with deeper reverence
or great seriousness. Those to whom
Christ is the Master OF life are agreed
that the forty days in the wilderness
will always hold unique place in the
history of the human spirit.
There have been many interpreta-
tions OF the mysterious happenings
in that lonely vigil, and its symbolic
meaning has grown, as patient and
reverent thought has striven to pene-
trate the solitude in which the Man
who called himself the Son of God
went through a struggle which clear
ed his vision, set his will imm0vably
to fulfill a mission Of divine help
fitness, and sent him in radiant
strength on the road to Calvary and
! to the morning of the resurrection.
In all that lonely struggle the one
fact that stands out with tragic and
splendid distinctness is that Christ
was fighting for his soul. To the
end Of the world every man and wom-
an must fight for his soul. Fight!
Yes, fight against the many tempta-
tions which will forever be. present to
assail at every stage of the journey
Of life. 1t must be better world
than it used to be, because SO many
men and women DO fight for the soul.
Every age must fight for it's souls,
even as this age is fighting today,
and every man and woman must pass
through that struggle. 1t is inherent
in the very nature Of stage of life
which, through temptations and strug-
giles, offers us the strength and purity
which alone makes God and heaven
credible and real DEWEY DUNN.

MIR. Phiriney's Turnip

In reply to Mr.. Luce's inquiry in
the Daily News as to the author of
the poem entitled "Mr Phinney's Tur-
nip" would like to say Mr.. Luce will
find, I believe, this poetic gem to be
from our own Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow. The story as I remem-
Der it is as follows: When small
boy of eight, Longfellow, like the
other pupils in certain country
school, was required to write COM
position of so many lines. Long
fellows thoughts would not come. He
was in despair. His teacher told him
to take his slate, go out behind the
schoolhouse and write his thoughts
about any thing he saw. The most
interesting thing was turnip grow
ing behind neighbours barn and "Mr.
Phinney's Turnip" is said to be the
first literary effort of the Children's
Poet.

Mrs. Laura Martin. p H. Crossman
and others have telephoned this office
that Longfellow wrote the turnip
lines.

ruin man, body and soul they should
not ask the state to compensate such
business. Take all the breweries, sa-

TIME TO STAND FOR AMERICA

A peace meeting was held in Madi-
son a few nights ago and it was as
serted that if war were declared now
il would be for no other reason than
the persistent demand of the capital
lists trafflcking in blood-soaked Eu-
ropes misery. The Madison Journal
says the resolution passed would
make the ghost of George Washington
groan. The Journal continues:
'The statement that if war is de-
clared it is the result of nothing but
the persistent demand of the capital.

ropes misery, is untrue, is an unmiti
gated falsehood and nothing less. Let

Of our greatest statesmen, Robert nj
La Toilette, has voiced such senti
ments. But even he, great statesman
that he is, is not infallible. His posi-
tion is pathetic when his obsession
against munition makers carries him
to voice such sweeping sentiments
against the American people at large
as is reflected in the resolutions
adopted at the peace meeting last Sat.
urday night at which Mrs. La Toilette

cit would be just as right for these
peace-at-any-price advocates to con-
denim every soldier in the Union army
from '61 to Is as being obedient to
the dictates of the capitalists who
were engaged il the munition bust
ness, instead of responding to the call
of Abraham Lincoln.
ct is asserted by these peace-at-
any-price advocates that Mr.. Lincoln
was forced into war by military cab
met. Mr.. Lincoln as Mr.. Wilson stood
for peace so long as there was any
chance of maintaining peace with
Justice, but Mr.. Lincoln as Mr.. Will
son came to that crisis when it was
a choice between war for justice or
peace without justice and chose for
war for justice. And every real Amer
lean will do the same so long as real
America lives.
"These resolutions further reflect
a very sad mistake of Senator La Fol
ieffe's and that is his un-American
advocacy Of an embargo on munitions.
We have never engaged in a war yet
when we have not been forced to buy
munitions from without our borders.
We would indeed be a militaristic
power to be feared il we made and
boarded the munitions that would pro-
tect US against the mailed fist Of in
Justice when it is Haunted in our lcs.
"We are all for peace. We are all
against war. But to say war is not
when war is, is ostrich-idiocy. To put
an embargo on munitions is not an
act Of neutrality; it is an act Of the
most fragrant faVoritism. 1t is the
most insidious and dangerous favorit-
ism because it is favoritism in dis
guise.
Germany went into this war with
an accumulation of war weapons which
she had been making and boarding for
thirty years ard with which she
hoped to whip all Europe. Germany
said she had to do this because Eng
i land was doing it, and France was do
ing it and Russia was doing it. But
how little they were doing it has been
shown by their unpreparedness, their
Ilementable appropriateness, when
they were forced to cope with the un
precedented, tie awful, the frightful
mighty preparedness of Germany.
