JOHN M|ELKE
/ IS ACCUSED
BUT MAKES VIGOROUS DENIAL
OF MAKIND DIsLoYAL
REMARKS.

John Mielke, a young farmer who
lives on the Pamyra pike was brought
before the county exemption board
yesterday to answer TO a charge that
he had been heard to make unpatrio-
tic remarks. II was alleged that he
said he didn't believe the newspaper
reports Of the allied successes and he
didn't believe that Germany could
be defeated and that II was a shame
to send American boys to France to
be butchered up. Several witnesses
testified against him. He then took
the stand in his own defense. He
denied making the statements attri-
buted to him, and declared that he
was loyal through and through. He
told Of buying liberty bonds, war
savings stamps and contributing to
the Red Gross, ETC., all through his
interest in the war activities
He said all his interets are here and
that his father had left Germany TO
escape the conditions there. He in
troduced witnesses. some Of them his
close neighbors, who supported him in
his statement rs to his loyalty and
that they had never heard him say
anything out Of the way
The board has the matter under
advisement and hasn't yet deter
mined what further course il will
pursue.

editorial Note The Sioux Falls
Journal of recent date published a
condensation of an address delivered
in its city by Professor Clark of the
Chicago university. 1t is in line with
the ideas publicly advanced by Vie
farmers movement of the northwest,
and for giving utterandes to which
premment members OF the organiza-
ton were branded as breeders of class
hatred and to that extent promoters
of pro-Germanism. Since our great
president, Mr.. Wilson, IN personal
message to congress a few weeks ago,
inferentially Spbraided congress for
falling to enact legislation carrying
out these very principles, there is a
peculiar and strange silence pervad-
ing the political press concerning this
form OF ro-Germanism, The Sat
urday News suggests that proper
remedy for the evil of profiteerihg is
to take over the property of the pro-
filters, without recompense to them,
during the balance of the war. If they
protest to the extent of appealing to
the courts for protection" which is
the usual method resorted to by men
OF their class, we would intern them
II they further protest, we would give
them their choice of two methods of
treatment: transportation to Germany,
where they may continue their pro-
Germanism u they wish, or standing
before firing squad at sunrise. Pro-
fteering can be suppressed, but dras-
tic methods only will suppress it. We
favor those methods, if need be, to
sustain the principles of democracy
