is just one fundamental principle OF
the conclusion of peace, and it was
never more clearly stated than when
President Wilson, on signing the new
man power bill, said:
" we solemnly purpose a decisive
victory of arms
Until that victory comes - until
Germany and her chief partner in
crime meet their Waterloo, their APP
pomattox, their Yorktown-there
must be no peace, nor talk of peace.
And the peace that then will come
will not be talked out peace with
the criminal nations, but a peace of
justice given them by the sword.
at is only by beating the bullying
Teuton to his knees and making him
impotent to repeat his rape of law and
right that peace can come to the
world.
Coward, then, to that decisive
victory we solemnly purpose, be it a
matter of months or years away. And
he who talks or whispers, thinks, or
dreams peace mean time, is a Ben
edict Arnold both to that great host
which has died to keep men free,
and to that other great host,
which today as freely offers it's life
to the same glorious cause, on the
battlefelds of France"

RETAIN A COMPETENT
OFFICIAL.

The Herald is gratified at the very
cordial manner in which the candidacy
of Nicholas Thomey for reelection as
auditor of Stearns county is being
received.
Mr.. Thomey is finishing his first
term in this important position and
he has kept watchful eye on the
business of the county at all times.
He is making his campaign for re-
election along clean cut lines and de-
serves the hearty support of the peo-
pie of Western Stearns. His election
Nov. 5 is practically assured.

STANDS BACK OF KNUTE
NELSON.

In his speech at Minneapolis, Mon
day, October 7th, Theodore Roosevelt,
in endorsing Senator Knute Nelson
said:
81 do not come to you to speak in
any ordinary acceptation of the
terms of political questions. The
prime issues are loyalty and dis
loyalty. s
81 make my appeal for Senator
Nelson exclusively on this ground:
Senator Knute Nelson has rounded
out 80 years of public service to the
state of Minnesota, and in his entire
career, especially since he has been
a member of the Senate of the United
States, he has been one of the ablest
and most upright and most uncom-
promising Americans, of the public
servants of the entire nation.
November 9Th will probably be the
last time that the people of Minnesota
will have a chance to show their APP
probation of Senator Nelson's public
life and the best way of showing this
appreciation will be to give him the
largest vote ever received in this
state by any candidate for public of
flee. Thereby the people of Minnesota
will honor themselves, will recognize
Senator Nelson's great service and
will put the people of the rest of the
United States under obligations to
them. ...t .
"Let every voter register and cast
his ballot if only for this purpose"
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-10-17


wish to call your attention to is his
then being in correspondence with Mr..
Haywood to center opposition against
the passing of spy bills and against
CONSUMPTION.
Remember that the spy bills were
passed in spite of this opposition, and
that Mr.. LIE Sueur's correspondent and
friend, Mr.. Haywood, is now serving
a penitentiary term in consequence of
violating the spy bill. AS for the OPP
position to CONSUMPTION it was simply
another way of announcing opposition
to the effective carrying on of the
war.
"Loyal American citizens cannot
afford to support or give aid and
comfort or to be politically associated
with the Nonpartisan League and I.
w. w. while they are under the pres
ent leadership"

PEACE BY SWORD, NOT BY
TALK

Uncle Sans boys over there, the
sure enough "Yank," does not take
very kindly to any settlement with
the Hun except by the sword
In the issue of the Stars and
Stripes, the official organ of the
American Expeditionary Force, pub
lished at the front, in its issue of
Sept. 20, indicates the sentiment of
the fighting man who is laying J
al on Liberty's altar, in the following
editorial regarding peace discussions:
austria, tool of Germany, on Sat-
urday addressed a note to the Allied
! Governments proposing "a meeting of
delegates in a neutral country in ord
er to begin confidential and unobliga-
tory conversations on the fundament-
al principles of the conclusion of
peace

are no fundamental principles. There

ROOSEVELT ENDORSES BIERN-
QUIST.

Speaking at Minneapolis, Monday,
October z, Theodore Roosevelt, Am
erica's foremost private citizen, gave
the following unqualified endorsement
of Governor J. A. A. Burnquist.
Governor Burnquist has been as
staunch a war governor as there has
been in the entire country. From the
moment the war was on he dropped
all other considerations except that of
loyalty and service to the nation and
he has stood for 100 per cent Ameri-
canism and 100 per cent prosecution
of the war to the peace of over
whelming victory.
"The bitter opposition to him has
been engineered with especial nalig-
nifty by the men whose real objection
to him was tha fact that he was alb
solutely loyal. III.
loyal Americans should stand be-
bind Governor Burnquist and they
should especially stand behind him
because of the opposition of the Nom
partisan League and / w. w. to him.
II am sure there are many thous-
ands of men in the Nonpartisan Lea
que and the !. w. w. who arc honest,
who believe that they have suffered
wrong, who are loyal citizens, but the
present leadership of the two organi-
cations is such that no loyal Ameri-
can should at this time support either.
"The hand and glove intimacy with
which some of the most prominent
leaders of the two organizations have
worked together Is shown by the
recently published letter from the ser
rotary of the Nonpartisan league to
the president of the I. W. W., both
being among the guiding spirits of
their respective organizations. This
letter was written when the United
States was practically at war with
Germany, and only the day before
Congress formally admitted and de-
clared that this stare of war existed
with Germany. In this letter, Mr..
LIE Sueur, the secretary of the Nom
partisan League, writes to Mr.. Hay
wood, who has since been convicted
of violation of the espionage act and
sentenced to 20 years in Fort Leaven-
worth. He speaks of the damned
war business interfering with the
work of their respective organizations
and adds I think the fight should
now be centered against spy bills and
CONSUMPTION This is the essential
sentence.
MANY honest, but as believe mis-
guided or misinformed men, were at
the time against the declaration Of
war, just as many of the men VINO
then in April favored the declaration
of war had. as believe, mistaken,
and misguidedly opposed it two
months previously or four months
previously, or two years previously.
You, gentlemen, all know that as
soon as the Lustinia was sunk /
publicly advocated our acting persise-
ly as we did act two years later, dur
ing which the conditions suffered no
but am not speaking of Mr.. Lee
Ssl.ur having been against The dec,ar-
alton of war with Germany-what

NOTE WRITING CAMPAIGN
ENDED,

When President Wilson sent his
note of inquiry to Germany last week
in response to what was alleged to
have been peace" feeler sent out
bv the Imperial government, many
good Americans were fearful that
the President was in for the passage
of a series of notes that would only
result in befogging the situation and
what benefits accrued would nnure
to Germany's benefit.
Monday of this week Germany in
her second note made the situation a
tri1e more plain, but the under cur
rent through tie entire correspond
ence to date is that she wants a
'made in Germany" kind of settle
ment.
In his reply sent to the Germans
Tuesday President Wilson has cleared
a clouded atmosphere, and Germany
has been plainly informed that she
can only make settlement on terms
laid down by the military authorities
of America, Great Britain and France.
This means of course, unconditional
surrender.
The first note sent out by the
president set the country on fire with
patriotism and the universal demand
by the press and people was that the
only form of settlement that should
be considered was an unconditional
surrender, and the making of terms
of peace in which Germany would not
have a part. If President Wilson had
any other notion he was quick in
sensing the demand of the American
people and the hour of anxiety has
passed.
The second note also carried the in
formation that the President would
make a separate reply to Austria
Hungary. The people of the world do
not look upon Austria with the same
feeling that they do the Kaiser and
his gang, as they realize that this
unfortunte country has been the vas
sal of the Prussian war lords. Every
indication points to an honest desire
on the part of Austria to let go. She
can get out from under the Prussian
yoke forever now, and it is not i'm
probable that she will accede to the
same terms accepted by Bulgaria a
few short weeks ago.
The cold facts are slowly dawning
upon the great mass of German peo-
pie that they have been forced into
a losing and murderous campaign of
warfare by selfish gang to satisfy
lust of power. 1t is pity that it
will be necessary to destroy German
cities and villages before they fully
realize that the war has been ire
vocably lost and that the alleged close
affiliation of the Kaiser and Got"
was the blasphemous frenzy of an in
sane bigot.
Berlin is still a long way off but
the drive will be made to that city if
necessary to bring the Teutonic
powers completely to their knees.-A.
