Little Rollo

Little Rollo is a case,
He'kicked sister in the face,
Dragged the baby from his chair
By his pretty golden hair.
In. the cistern he flung the cat,
Built a fire in mas best hat.
Threw the hall-tree down the stairs
While his aunty said her prayers.
Poured molasses in the bed,
Thereupon we laughed and said,
"See how he has wrecked the place.
Little Rollo's such a case!"

RAISING 4 DEAD ISSUE.

The Anti-Saioou League of Virginia
SAWS that 1T concerns itself with
rniy one question. namely, the de
structiun Of the beverage liquor trail

patch says that being true. IT would
seem that the mission Of the league in
Virginia has ended It's usefulness.
BY vote Of the people Of the State. the
destruction Of that traffic has been
accomplished, the result accepted by
me people without regard TO how
they voted. laws enacted putting pro-
hibi,ion into effect and the full power
Of the State directed to the enforce

with every nuhlic official under oath
to execute the law.
In making opportunity to give pub.
lie Endorsement of the SounincsS Of
The Republican ticket rs related to
prohibition. what othc" purpose could
the league have had n mimi but 10
dig up the buried issue and use it to
influence voters in the coming cleo
ton?
IS this not an attempt to dictate
results by influencing votes to the
one party or the other? Does il not
suggest conformation Of party dis
loyalty by bringing forward IA dead
issue upon which to compare the
records Of candidates and invite Il
choice between them on the basis Of
the one question with which the
league concerns itself.
The people Of Nirgi1i3 have settled

PATRIOTIC PREACHING.

Hero are quoted some striking pull
pit u]tterances by Washington preach
ers.
1T is treason to God to talk peace
IT this time. when the hand that
is extended through an Austrian
cloak is dripping with the blood ol
murdered men, women and children.
"We may wake up when i Is TOO
late. German troops may yet he
marching through our streets Leu
bus not delay one moment
every loyal American citizen
should buy a bond. Every $50 in
vested is another nail in the coffin
of P~russianism."
"This organization stands for
practical Christianity. Secondly, 1t
stands for patriotism--loyalty To
flag and country"
"Today no word in Il vocabulary
is so terrible to mankind as that OF
Prussianism."
This is athe sort of practical, pat
riotir Christianity that is certain i"
find a responsive chord IN every
LOYAL breast. The men who preach
| this gospel are real men. men oil

| MAJ sentiments. thrilling with a de-

munity; they influence mems conduct

IMPULSES and teach the beauty Of
sacrifice.
Christianity does. not mean sub

..tcckness and humility do not re-
care that we bow our heads TO the
! oppreSsor's yoke. Holy Writ teach
IS quite the opposite. 1t teaches adj

to country. the sacrifice Of all for
rinciplc. Consequently it is trying
to. the patience to hear paclfisis

indicated by Mr.. Lloyd George are
conservative enough. They are the
greatly lessened menace of the sub
marine and the impending participa-

Which Lie Did Reagan Tell9

A Mankato attorney named Reagan
is said to have told the Minnesota Bar
association at Minneapolis last week,
that it was not safe for citizens to walk
the streets of Mankato wearing an
American flag on his coat lapel. When
he arrived home he found such hornet
rest about his head that he denied his
alleged statement, declaring that it was
New -Ulm he had reference to. It is
presumed that this statement squared
MIN with his home people. But which
Ever way you put it, Reagan lied.
IF he told the truth to his home people

made the statement about New Ulm
chat he says he did, he lied about this
city. =: IT,.

Red Cross Is Set Right

Owing to the fact that many state.
ments have been made regarding the
attitude of the Red Cross relative tc
German nurses and those of German
descent, the editor of the Review recently
wrote to Jane A. Delano, chairman Of
the National Committee Red Cross
Service, Washington, D. c., asking that
a statement be given this paper fol-
qualification. Miss Delano's reply has
been received and appears in the Open
Forum of this weeks Review. 1t ex-
plains itself.
Frequently reference has been made
80 statements alleged to have been made
by Henry P. Dawson, chairman Of the
war council of the Red Cross, in which
Mr.. Dawson has been made to say that
dhe sick or wounded of the enemy
brought into the hospitals of the Red
Gross would not be cared for.
Mr.. Dawson has also authorized a
statement of the position of the Red
Gross, which is also published in this
issue of the Review.
In these days when so many rumors
ARE afoat, it is well to ascertain the truth
sof such statements before giving credit

living in Gottenburg, where they had
been born and raised, but they were talk
ing English. They were on their way
to Sundsvall to look after their great
numbering interests there. They had
made fortunes in the numbering business
in Sweden, but they still loved their
mother tongue. This shows that the
English people are not more willing to
give up their language than any other
people on this globe. What right, then,
have we to condemn the Germans, or
any other people, because they speak
their mothers tongue so long as they do
not neglect learning the language Of the
country? Is it not well known fact
that children in this country born Of
foreign parents and who speak their
mother tongue, are not behind other
children in their studies in the public
schools?

We have always contended that it is a
dangerous proposition to shut the mouths
eof disconnected men by threats Of
violence and have increasingly contended
Cor unlimited, freedom of speech and
liberty of the press, because shutting
up men does not silence their conscience
nor extinguish the smouldering fires OF
gndignation and resentment. If bottled
up too long this resentment may cause

Senate (the House Of Representatives
concurring), that the Constitution vests
in the Congress as the accredited and
lawful representatives Of the people full
authority to determine and to declare
definitely the objects and purposes for.
which this government shall continue to
participate in the European War.
Resolved further, that the Congress
hereby declares that this government
will not contribute to the efforts Of any
3beligerent for the purpose Of prolonging
the war to annex new territory, either in
Europe or outside Of Europe, nor to
enforce the payment Of indemnities to
recover the expenses of the war; but the
Congress does hereby declare in favor
of the creation of a common fund to be
provided by all the belligerent nations
to assist in the restoration of the portions
OF territory in any of the countries most
seriously devastated by the war, and for
the establishment of an international
commission to decide the allotment of
the common fund.
. Resolved further, that Congress de-
clares that there should be public
restatement of the Allied Peace Terms,
based on disavowal of any advantages,
either in the way of indemnities, terri
torial acquisitions, commercial privileges,
or economic prerogatives, by means of
which one nation shall strengthen it's
power abroad at the expense of another
nation, as wholly incompatible with the
establishment Of a durable peace in the
world.
