HERE LIVE THREE SOLDIERS

Sioux City Journal-Thinking, with
the characteristic insight of the race,
straight through to the essential
beauty and significance of the sacri-
flee that had been made for the cause
of democracy by three plain soldiers
of the American republic, an unnamed
French officer addressed himself on
behalf of the French nation to the
dear ones Of those slain heroes in
America:
we will therefore ask" he said,
that the mortal remains of these
young men be left here, left with us
forever. We inscribe on the tombs:
Here lie the first soldiers of the re-
public of the United States to fall on
the soil of France for liberty and JUS
tice.' The passerby will stop and un-
cover his head. Travellers and men
of heart will go out of their way to
come here to pay their respective
tributes.
Private Enright! Private Gresh.
am! Private Hay! In the name Of
France l thank you. God receive your
souls. FAREWELL"
1t was admirably spoken, just as
they admirably died. 1t was the heart

WILSON TALKS TO LABOR

The president of the United States
for the first time in its history, ad-
dressed a convention of laboring men.
last week. In this meeting he talked
and not as an official appearing for
the purpose of impressing his official
dignity upon them. In the first of
his speech there was an evidence of
the good feeling that animated his
audience, but as his talk progressed
and he spoke to them in a familiar
and friendly way, it was evident that
those who had started to listen out of
respect to the president Of the nation,
were now listening to him with a re-
gard for the man and a belief in his
words.
That his speech was n of good
sense and clear expression goes with
out saying, as in every detail he was
explicit and direct in his statements
of the relations that labor bore to the
rest of the world and the duties that
he felt We're now resting on them dur
ing our national crisis. AS a fitting
result of this address and of his per-
sonal contact with the delegates of
labor, the assembly has adopted res
olutions that place them on a firm
and pronounced foundation in sup
port of the whole country in the time
when she needs the assistance of
every one of her sons AS an outcome
of this meeting has also come the as
"a of affiliated branches of the
Federation Of Labor, that they will
fall in line in doing away with strikes
during the time when the government
needs the efforts of every worker.
If the same relation of the govern
ment with the worker can be brought
about in the threatened railroad
strikes that are being talked about.
then we can see that the work that
has been started to bring this cOun
try up to the highest standard of eff
fciency will be accomplished and
there is no reason to believe but what
this will be accomplished.

that the whole process can be COM
pleted within sixty days. This means
that no second call will be made on
the draft forces before the middle OF
next February, as the period for %classi-
fcation will not begin until Deem
Der Is.
The president describes the new
plan of dividing all registered men not
already modified into five classes,
subject to military service by classes,
as being intended to produce "a more
perfect organization of our man pow
t..'
The selective principle must be
carried to its logical conclusion the
president said, and he added that
there must be made a complete inven-
tory of the qualifications of each reg
istrant in order to determine the
place in the military, industrial or
agricultural ranks of the nation in
which his experience and training can
best be made to serve the common
good"
The inquiry projected in the ques-
tionnaire will go deep into the ques-
lions of each of nearly 10. 200, 600 men.
The success of the plan and its com
pletion within the estimated time rest
on the whole hearted support giyen
by the people, especially by the doc
tors and lawyers of each community.
and the president calls upon them for
that unstinted aid.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

on and after January 1st,
1913, the price Of the Register
will be $500, strictly in advance.
The continued high cost of
everything that enters into
newspaper production makes it
imperative. Publishers in South
Dakota and throughout the ma
ton have come to realize thai,
at present prices, even the
smaller papers cannot meet
their costs on $3.50 to say moth
ing of profit. The Register is
running o columns of read
ing matter than any weekly in
the State for $3.50 but we are
going to give everybody an OPP
portunity to take advantage OF
the present price until January
list. We feel that the large and
growing list Of Register sub
scribers are entitled TO due and
timely notice Of our action ~
this respect so that il they care
to renew at the old price they
can do so.
