AN OPEN LETTER

In regard to the near mob here
making two men leave here because
Tor their pro-Germanism, we wish to
say we do not believe in mob yio-
lence. But there are cases where the
law is slow, and times when patience
almost ceases to be a virtue. Rev.
%. j. Starck had been waited upon
four or five times and told to quit his
pro-German utterances and the last
few times told "emphatically." But
he would not heed.
Would the Hun have had such pa
tience with one of us in Hundum !?
We think not. His stubborness
brought upon him this outburst of
patriotic indignation, and all that
spared him was the cool-headedne
OF few, who were stirred by heart
of sympathy for his wife and family.
IL was mighty good he had them.
Hope this is enough and need not to
be repeated.
In regard to Mr.. Fred Tennegkeit.

$1,000 Tor the Red Cross at hi:. sales.
If opposition to such noble work al
this, our National Crisis, does not stir
and call for action. then we don't
know what does.
Our sons are enlisted in our Ma
tons cause, and it hurts when we
think of some who are against our
Government. But we thank God that
here the number is only about FIVE
per cent, and we hope these will be
wise and Mum and support the Red

INCOME TAX MAN COMING HERE
DUBUQUE, Iowa. Devember 26,
1917.-It will require small army of
men to take the income tax .eturns
of persons subject to the new law.
Collector of Internal Revenue Louis
Murphy announced today that 46 Of
lcers will start from his headquarters
on January list and 2nd every one Of
them will be on the job in the county
assigned him, to meet the people and
help them make o;lt their income tax
returns The officer assigned to this
county will be at the Audubon County
court house from January I'd to Janu-
airy 10th both, dates inclusive.
1T will be well for every unmarried
person whose net income for 1917 is
$1,000 or over, and every married per-
son living with wife or husband.
whose net income for 1917 is 81, 900
or over, to call on the income tax
man and learn whether or not they
have any tax to pay So said Collect
or Murphy in an interview today. "The
person subject TO tax who doesn't
make return in the time prescribed is
going to regret it. The Government
will get after all income tax slackers.
There's hardly a business man,
merchant or professional man who
won't have to make return of income.
Farmers, as class, will have to pay
the tax. The safe thing to do is for
every person who had a total income
of $1,000 or $4,000, as the case may
be, and who is not sure about what
deductions the law allows him, and
will play safe by calling on the in
come tax man
THE man in the field will have
forms for everybody and persons who
expect to call on him need not trouble
themselves to write to my office for
forms. but when they call on: the Of
ficer they should bring with them the
figures and data relative to their. in
come and deductions for 1917. Bn-
less they have the data at hand and
properly assembled, it will be impos-.
sible for the field officer' to extend Sto
them the aid which might otherwise
be given" F.e

SEEMING TO STOP
PETITION HAS ITS EFFECT UPON
GOVERNOR-HE PROMISES
ITS DISCONTINUANCE.

Upon a showing made by the eff
feet of 1900 names to a petition, DR..
w. A. Rothschild and F. e. Shipton
received a promise yesterday from
Gov. Peter Norbeck that the fishing
of our lakes with seines would be
discontinued. He made the promise
upon the representation that scaven-
ger fish are not very numerous, and
that the nets themselves are destruc-
tive of game and protected fish.
DR.. Rothschild and F. L. Shipton
went Sunday to Pierre, and Monday
morning presented their petition,
supported by oral argument, to both
the governor and the fish commits
sion. They returned last night by
driving home from a neighboring
town by automobile. They remark
ed most favorably upon the ~accessi-
oility of the governor and the hos
pitality of the members of the game
and fish commission.
Last year the commission issued
bermits for the so-called commercial
fishing. proceeding upon the theory
that there were too many scavenger
.ish, and which were hindering the
growth and best development of the
game fish. Upon the showing made
that the scavenger fish are not nu'
merous, that it is this class of fish
which the people of the country
about the lakes want, and that a
great many of the better fish destroy
themselves by becoming gilled in the
nets or caught in them directly and
dying, the governor promised to is.
sue an order stopping the CONNER
cial fishing with seines. No order
has been received today by the loca'
fishermen. And it may be that there
will be vel further investigation be.
fore anything decisive is done.
The returning men report a co.
pious rain all the way between Pierre
and Madison, and in many places the
crops are up.

Paris, April 16.-Heavy artillery
fighting occurred last night on the
main battle front in the neighbor-
hood of Montdidier, the war office
announces. The French captured a
machine gun and prisoners near the
Disc canal.
British resistance having stiffened
and held the Germans to small gains
in the past three days, the battle
west of Armentieres has reached the
stage of massed local attacks to gain
2 desired objective.
There are indications that the Ger
mans will start a drive on the south
,4rn side of the new salient in an eff
fort to reach Bethune. The enemy
artillery fire along a 10-mile front
from Robecq to Givenchy is increas-
ing in intensity and large bodies of
troops have been discovered behind
the German lines. The British line
here is about one mile north of, and
parallel to, the La Bassee canal
Givenchy, held by the British, has
not been attacked since the repulst
of strong enemy efforts last week.
