would seem wise for the department to
take such action as would sustain our

mended department of public school

I'm most every part Of the country
are shown the defects in the methods
of our so-called amalgamation OF
Aliens" said commander harrington.
I'm many families an alien language
only is spoken. We can see now the
necessity Of department OF pubic
patriotism in our public schools backed
by warrant Of law.

need for future amalgamation or

can state central committee has COM
pleted it's plans for the republican state
convention which is to be held IN Des
Moires wednesday July 10.
The original plan Of making this a

and a platform are to be adopted and
that's all there is to it.
There will be no criticism of the pres
ent administration if the state central

such criticism will be postponed until
after the war. If it is to be a DIG
loyalty meeting loyalty to the govern
ment and loyalty to the republican
party must be the keynote the leaders
say and the people have no time 1or
partisan politics.
