That strong strain of patriotism
runs through the ranks of printers
throughout the country is shown by the
fact that already 4,0Sl members of the
International Typographical union and
656 apprentices are in the service of the
United States and Canada, and many
more are constantly enlisting. Thus far
in the progress of the war II soldier
members of the international Typos have
given up their lives on the battlefelds of
France or have died in service Another
strong reflection of the patriotic spirit of
the organization is revealed in the official
statement from the officers of the union
that the total payment last year cover
ing strikes authorized by the interna-
tional union amounted to only Sl,237,
which, it will be agreed, is very small
sum for such a large organization. More
over, the motto of the international
Typographical union at the present time
is: 1--WE stand back Of President Wilson
There should be no strikes or lockouts
during the war" Good for the Inter
national Typos

THE UNITED STATES POSITION RE.
STATED.

The American people coincide in the
view held by President Wilson and ex,
pressed by him at George Washington's
tomb at Mount Vernon on July 4; they
are firmly convinced that there must be
no peace until military autocraey has
been dethroned or rendered impotent to
do the damage which it has done in the
present war. Indeed, the American peo-
pie have dedicated themselves to that
work, with the aid and support of their
allies Prussian militarism must be
wiped out OF shorn of its capacity for
doing evil That is also the determine
ton of the more than million soldiers
who have gone to France and of the
other millions who are preparing to go
into the battle areas to combat the most
ruthless of foes. In putting the deter
mination of the American people and the
American soldiers into words President
Wilson has done we'll at time when
Germany needs to be shown that the
American courage and the American
morale are strong, far stronger, in fact,
than when the war started.
Ii the Prussian war lords hoped and
expected to see weakening of the deter
mination of the United States because of
losses, which, after ALL are insignificant
as compared with the losses sustained by
our allies-if they hoped and expected to
find the United States ready to terminate
the war with patched up peace, they
have their direct and positive answer in
the words of President Wilson. There
will be no peace as long as Prussian mill
tarism remains as a menace to the peace
of the world.

The late Senator Tillman (Pitchforkl
was one of the most unique figures in
public life of the generation and his pres
ence in the United States Senate made a
deep impress on that body for his pc
culiarities and sometimes for powerful
influence. Senator Tillman was one OF
the veteran legislators and was recog-
nized as one Of the most alert mentally
in that branch where he had a seat. The
complexion of the Senate is rapidly
changing, and before long we may not
recognize the old Senate in the staid,

JEANETTE AGAIN.

"Bess Wilson declares in her Redwood
Falls Gazette that the actions of Jeanette
Rankin were crank. However, the voters
of Montana took the rank out of Rankin
Mankato Free Press.
"You mean that Jeanette was reduced
to the ranks. Springfield Free Press.
"She has no rank at all"-Mankato Free
Press.
"Bobby Burns says:
"The rank is but the guinea's stamp The
mans the gowd for a that"
And so with jeanette Rankin She is
noble woman with high ideals, and it is un-
gallant to say the least for newspapers to
jump on her the way they are doing. She
received tremendous vote for United States
Senator, and her name will be remembered
long after her critics are dead and forgotten"
Frank Day.
We ask the gentlemen's permission to exer-
else the womans perogative and have the last
word. Undoubtedly Frank is right and jeanette
will be remembered long after the rest of US
are lost in the seas of oblivion. But she will be
remembered because she stood for the same OBJ
noxious things that have made Townley hated
of loyal and honest men, because she wept a
negative when asked to back her president in
his demand that the world be made safe for de-
cency, because she has done more to successfully
prevent women from being given the franchise to
which they entitled than any other one i'll
which has happened in the United States for the
past five years. If this be fame and reason for
going down in the annals of history let jeanette
have it! We don't want it-and we reckon the
other "critic DON'T either.

The Herald is not inclined to believe that the
women's part in the war will be affected one
iota by the granting or the refusal OF equal suf-
frage. We are dsinclined to believe that in the
great part they have taken they have been in,
fluenced in the slightest degree by the effect
their part may have in influencing the action
of congress in passing upon the equal suffrage
question. Moreover, events quite clearly indi-
cate that the winning of the is going on
apace, and in an eminently satisfactory manner,
with the equal suffrage question still on the
table.
The Justice in the controversy, however, is
another matter, The Herald fully agrees with
President Wilson in his position in regard
to granting women the privilege of the ballot.
The noble and self-sacrificing part they have TAX
en- in the war demands that matter of JUS
tice they be given equal suffrage privileges with
their fathers, sons and brothers. To the wo-
men of this country have the greater burdens
of the war fallen. While the are offering
their lives and enduring hardships, there are
few mothers who would not gladly have taken
their places and given their lives for their sons.
But it has been their part, and that of the wives
and sisters, to remain at home and bear the
burden of their aching hearts and work for the
comfort of those who have gone.
What the womens part has been in this war
can never be told, for it beggars Imagination.
Their suffering in the severance of family ties
only they themselves understand. Almost
as difficult is it to appreciate the gigantic and
endless tasks they are performing to make the
lives of our soldiers easier and more comfortable.
They are ministering to the sick and the wound
ed at the battlefront and in the hospitals, they
are taking the places of men in every field OF
labor, they are working nights and days making
bandages and hospital garments knitting arti-
cles for the comfort of soldiers, and preparing
garments for the destitute. In every conceivable
way they are doing their utmost. Where one
man is devoting his time to war purposes,
thousand women are giving their time and eff
forts.
It is impossible to exaggerate the extent and
the Importance of the part in the war being per-
formed by women. There is disputing that
their part is the greater part, measured by what
ever standard one could And by their work
they are showing that matter of elementai
justice they should be placed upon an equal foot
ing with man in the privilege and responsibility
of directing at the ballot box the destiny of our
nation.-A. O. Moreaux, (Luverne Herald.)

In Flanders fields the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom,
While up above, like eagles fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky,
With stains the earth wherein you lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom,
In Flanders Fields.
Sleep on, we brave, the shrieking shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell,
The fury of the battle hell
Shall wake you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is well.
Your flaming torch aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we swear
To keep the faith, to fight it through,
To crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders Fields.

anything in Gods world keep them from doing

Of them certainly misinterpret this fear they
have in their hearts or the love they have for
their purse as the glimmerings OF religious prln-

TIME TO PLAY SAFE

NOW is the time for all good men to-not
M "come to the aid of the party" for party be
darned at time like this!-but to come
to realization of their solemn duty to the loyal
people at home and above ALL to the boys OF the
American army by playing safe in the men for
whom they vote at the November election.
Now, if ever, is the time when must send
back as governor the man who has played the
loyalst part sincerely and effectually ever since
this big war drama was thrust upon the world,
to send back as the second man in the state that
man of German parentage who has forgotten
his ancestors in the big need of his country and
has put up without thought of self or ambitions
which might be sacrificed, the most intense fight
against the disloyalist of any man in the state,
to send back to the Senate and to the House
those men whom we know are Americans through
and through whether their politics and policies
on lesser matters agree with not, and to
keep our Supreme Court and every District Court
in the state absolutely free of the men who have
either not been proved, or are seeking election
backed by doubtful element.
This is no time for uncertainties expert
ment! We beseech every in this county to
go to the polls Tuesday, November and to vote
for the men we are sure Of for the offices of the
state. Send "Joe" Burnquist back as governor
with the biggest majority governor ever had,
play safe by putting julius A. Schmahl back as
Secretary of State position which he has fill
ed with an efficiency and expertness beyond
criticism during his tenure Of office, let Red
wood County be represented in the Senate by
Potter, and in the House by Praxel and Bendixen
men whom We may bank foursquare
Americans twenty four hours day.
But above all let rs keep our courts clean.
Chief Justice Browa and his Assistants, Hallam
and Holt the men whom we trust to
administer their high offices with unimpeachable
justice, and their integrity may depend the
decisions which will make or mar the history
of the state and its individual citizens during
the next two years.
For our Ninth Judicial District we need
Frank Clague. He is the logical person to carry on
high work done in this court by it's splendid
present incumbent, he is the man trusted, as a
man and an attorney, by more people than any
other man in the Ninth, the man who has done
in the past most unselfish and worth while
work for this section at various times and in
various capacities, the man we can trust with the
decisions effecting our public and private life
