Americans All

Only two Democrats and three
Republicans, Of all the member.
ship of the United State Senate,
voted against the resolution e..
dOrsing the Presidents action in
severing diplomatic relations with
Germany, This may be said to be
fairly indicative of public senti-
ment. We all love peace, but VIZ
cherish honor more.
Whatever differences may have
been felt regarding the policy of
the president in opening up peace
negotiations, these differences dis
appeared when he took a firm
stand for the protection Of the
national honor. On every mast
head, whether on banking office,
factory or the humblest dwelling,
the American flag was swung to
the breeze. There it will stay
until our course is vindicated.
How nobly the captains of in
dustry and finance came to the
front! War plants. valued at
billions, including great sLipbuild-
ing. steel, wooden, automobile,
munitions. arms, powder, torpedo
and electric boat concerns, milk
and food supplie' s, aircraft plants,
distilleries tor the manufacture of
alcohol. coal, coke, cement and
rubber industries, were rendered
to the government. Existing
contracts, it W, promised, would be
set aside and the government given
the preference for all orders in
case of war The hyphenated
American disappeared. German
newspapers and German society
sounded h patriotic call to duty.
A discordant note came from the
Chicago Federation of Labor
vOicing its unanimous prot tes t
against this country taking part
III VIC IIutOpCdu wal duu uc'
manding that all American citizens
be prevented from entering the
war zone" This unpatriOtic ut.
terallce was re echod by a few dis
tnrbiDg socialists and angry an.
archists. Another discordant note
was found in the report of con.
templated strike by the railway
switchmen at Chicago which was
met by a threat Of the president,
following the preeedent-..of, Mr..
Cleveland, that he would exercise
his executive prerogative to sieze
every railroad in the country il
necessary.
Don't make any mistake about
the American people. When the
National honor is challenged, the
people accept the challenge. They
will stand steadfast to the bitter
end. Dickinson IN. D.,) Press.

Receives Notice of Appointment

County Superintendent of Schools
E. H. Noteboom, received his
notice of appointment as superin-
tendent of the Boys Camp at
Huron next autumn.
This new appointment has a
great deal of work in connection
with and coupled with the other
duties of Mr.. NOtebOOm will force
him to be a very busy man. Work
has never phased him yet and as
he enjoys work of that nature, it
will be mere in the nature of play
than work and relief to the
regular routine.
In writing to other county sup
ertintendents, NOteboom sums up
the work necessary to make the
Boys Camp meeting a success in
the following four reasons; Sew.
eral things should be looked out
for next year:
First-TO be sure to have a
contest which will send q boy to
the camp.
Second-To start early enough
so as to have time to plan it so
we'll that it cannot fail.
Third-To be sure to have the
contest close early enough so that
we of the camp can get in touch
with the boys before the fair.
Fourth-To be sure that the
boys selected will go:
He reinforces the above reasons
as follows:
These suggestions are made
because last contests failed in
several counties, Walworth for
one, because we could help you a
great deal in getting the boys to
go and to come properly equipped
if we could get a circular letter or
two to them before the fair, and
because last year we had creden-
tials for many boys who did not
cone.
The Fair Board has promised us
a new building next year to be
used as a barrack for the boys.
Every drawback will be removed
if possible. The board and officers
of the camp are anxious to make
it one of the big features of the
fair. By means of it we hope to
do much good to the agricultural
and educational interests of the
state. Be with us in our work
and we will try and give you value
received. We will try and do
some things for your boy which can
be done no where else. We will
try to do some things for your
boys which can be done in no
,ther way
