Our War For Democracy.

We are, according to President Wilson,
waging this war for Humanity and Demo-
cracy. We believe in Humanity and
Democracy and are willing to do every
thing in our power to have Humanity
and Democracy win out in this war but
it occurs to us that when we strive to
make the entire world safe for Democracy
so that the principles of Humanity will
prevail it is absolutely necessary that
we see to it that Humanity and Demo
cracy prevail in our own small bailiwicks.
There are some who yell their heads off
about Humanity and Democracy who
lack all the qualities that make for
Humanity and Democr: and they are
in reality nothing but lutte Kaisers and
Cars themselves who would not hesitate
to drive man to suicide and bring his
family to the verge of starvation just
to show that their brand of Humanity
is the proper one.
One of New Ulm's Kaisers and Cars
no doubt is P. Liesch who has at different
times shown that he has all the at
tributes of a tyrant and a slave driver.
Nothing politically nor anything else
can be done without his benign consent
and if that has not been secured before
hand then he shows an autocratic spirit
by denouncing those who have had the
temerity to do something without con-
sulting his highness. Last week the
Directors of the State Bank of New Ulm
by unanimous vote elected Prof. A
Ackermann to a position as assistant
cashier in the bank and Immediately
after it became known P. Liesch was busy
interviewing some of the directors and
telling them what big mistake they
had made, intimating that it might spell
the financial ruin of the institution if
they should retain Prof. A. Ackermann
as assistant cashier.
Mr.. Liesch has been doing nothing
else than hound Prof. Ackermann for
the past year it would appear that he
will not be satisfied until he has forced
Prof. Ackermann and his family out of
the city. How humanitarian such
procedure would be-. Altho we have
known Prof. A. Ackermann for quite
number of years, we have had no op-
portunity until he helped us out in an
editorial capacity on our newspapers, to
get in closer touch with the man, when
we found him highly cultured, we'll
hammered man who is so vastly superior
to his traducers that they appear to us
as barking little ours. We are glad
indeed that the State Bank has felt
need of his services altho we shall greatly
miss his assistance in our work and we
also regret the loss of the pleasant daily
association with real gentleman.

As soon as it became known that New
Ulm had cast a majority of it's votes for
James A. Peterson a howl went up from
the press of the state, branding the
citizens as disloyal and as having gone
over to the Kaiser. Very little if any
thing is said about the votes of other
counties. In this connection it might be
mentioned that Douglas County, tie
home of Senator Knute Nelson cast
1856 votes for James A. Peterson and
1877 votes for the senior Senator giving
James A. Peterson a majority Of 439
votes in Senator Knute Nelson's own
County and at that Burnquist carried
the County. We have heard no one say
that the citizens of Douglas County are
disloyal. Why the people of New Ulm
and Brown County should always be
branded disloyal if the vote does not
conform with the wishes and desires of
certain elements is simply beyond the
comprehension of any fair minded person.

IF Not, Why Not?

If you were to drive with your wife
and children to some city, say thirty
mites distant, to do your buying, where
do you suppose your wife and daughters
would want you to take them I'M
mediately upon your arrival at your
objective city? Supposing there were
small children in your family whose
needs are manifold, where would your
wife wish to take them for immediate
attention upon arrival? Suppose again
that your shopping should take half a
day and your family's needs were filled
i'm a short time, where would you leave
them to wait for you to finish your
business? In the average, up-to-date
city che REST Room would answer
All these questions but not in New
Uim- Our city is beautiful, clean, at
tractive in every way. The shops are
well supplied with goods. The clerks
are polite and obliging and the stores
are fitted with toilet conveniences to a
certain extent but there is no rest room
for general use, absolutely no place for
birds of passage to set foot or find a
stopping place.
With our streets lined daily with cars
franz within a radius of thirty miles in
every direction, are not the merchants
losing an opportunity of cementing the
friendship offered us by customers from
distant cities? a rest room established
now and we'll kept up would be one more
valuable asset of the town. But NOW is
the time.

Cold Comfort.

The St. Paul Daily News sums u1
the primary election results in ar
editorial that hits straight from thu
shoulder at the existing order of things
The Daily News has not been sup.
porting Lindbergh but has been pointing
out the contemplate tactics of those
in power who have shouted Treason
and @Disloyalty' whenever the League
has been entirely fair to the League
whils not supporting it and now that the
primaries are over it declares with no
hzsitancy that the nomination of Burn
quist ''by a squeak" is little comfort to
the present executive and those who
are afraid the state is going to TIE
dannltlon bowwows. The Daily News
comes out strong for Comstock who it
says will make a REAL governor. 1t
may be obliged to change the name of
its standard bearer but it shoots home
sa1ns barbed truths when it pays Burn
quist its RESPECTS as follows:
'*The hullabaloo is over. Tie
tunfain sMn TIE shouting die.
~'Scattered returns, still far from
complete, Indicate that Mr.. Burn
gust has proved Minnesota's loyalty
70 his own satisfaction at least -
by narrow squeak. Politicians
and editorial writer's who have froth-
ed at the mouth over the bare
thought Of what the wild wires
might be carrying to the uttermost
parts of the earth this sunshiny
Tuesday morning. have earned a
day OF ITO recover from their brain
storms. It must be a great COM
fort to them to see Minnesota's
sgqsnlNy demonstrated by few
aha1sauf votes. If we were really
II, accept this false standard of
ap1giIag MInnesota's loyalty, the
net result would be cold comfort
for the genuine patriot. Some
thing like go per cent loyalty for
Minnesota isn't anything to wave
Hsgs about. But such a standard
saThs test of loyalty, is as utterly
EaIse as yesterdays primary result
would be disheartenlng If we con-
sidered it as straw vote on patriot
Sm.
~The: plain fact is that the great
MISS of the Lindbergh vote was as
Edgal as the Burnquist vote, but
ahat It, voiced an emphatic Pro
TEST against real wrongs as well as
fancied grievances. Most of all,
it voiced this PROTEST against
the arbitrary, undemocratic and
unlawful manner in which public
affairs have been administered in
this state during the past IL months.
cit is we'll that Mr.. Lindbergh
vas defeated. His defeat, how
ever, is cold comfort for Mr.. Burn
quist.
at is well that Mr.. Lindbergh was
repudiated. 1t is well, also, that
MIR. Burnquist achieves his nomi-
nation by a vote that is, in fact,
regulation. This, if anything, will
drive the PROTEST in quarters
xhre it must be heard. This, If
anything, will open the eyes of the
socially blind to the lesson that
democracy cannot be trampled upon
with impunity in Minnesota while
that same democracy, in the hands of
Woodrow Wilson, is at work leav-
ening the whole world. On bigger
scale, it is the same lesson taught
by the recent city election in St.
Paul.
sNow we can proceed to the real
busaae with which Minnesota,
POLITICALLY speaking, is chiefly con-
eerned - the election of a REAL
governor, of a man who measures
no somewhere near the size of the
Job and it's responsibilities.
A1This man is Judge Comstock.'

DEMOCRACY in ROCK COUNTY

A state of terrorism exists in Rock
County in the southwestern part of
Minnesota There are some 376 men,
bers of the Non-partisan League and the
'loyalists" have decided to drive them
out of the county and confscate their
property unless the Non-partisan res
nounce the League and register. The
County Loyalty League ordered the
Home Guards of Luverne to force the
Non-partisans to register and one man
who refused to do so has been driven
out and his property taken over by the
Loyalty League: This is a pretty state
of affairs, indeed, land it is high time that
the National Government looks into the
kind of Democracy we are getting in
Minnesota. AS long as one persons
liberty is not safe in this country, we
have no Democracy and when limited
number of men undertake to prescribe
for everyone what he shall think and
what he shall do, there is going to be
something happen that will make life
in Minnesota something to be compared
with the days after the war in the South.

 Yes, as the Anticipating League says: Tt is impossible to imagine a wet voter as a patriot" Which is the Patriot, the man who says to Uncle Sam We have no time for your puny little war; we are engag- ed in fighting a real enemy-John Barleycorn," or the man who gives his body, his time, his money and even his life to help Uncle Sam whip the Kaiser? And, believe us, if you took the wet voters out of Uncle Sam's Army and left only those who voted the Prohibition ticket, you could get the entire army on board one transport.

THE STATUS OF CAMOUFLAGE.

The word "camoufage" is travelling along the path commonly taken by words in English It began a popular borrowing from French slang and ''all the rage It's pronunciation was a subjectc for street-car argument, and news paper paragraphers went out of their way to drag it in simply for it's intrinsic worth voca- ble.
 Then the critics and the high -brows They frowned it. They said it bad French, a low music-hal variety y-show sort of, word at home and that it had right to welcome place to fill in English. Also, the paragraphers who bounced upon it precious morsel year ago writing paragraphs intended show that they are above using anything musty.
 But the word holds own. It has retained enough vitality to resist the damnng effect of over use-the most fatal maady that slang is heir to and the question now hanging in the balance is whether the decline which must come will be a de- cline to extinction only to it's natural level of usefulness.
 AS sign that will hopeful the partisans of the word, there is the action of Columbia Uni vcrsity, which announces a course in "Camoulage or Military Concealment." Of course, Columbia is young and flippant, being only 152 years old against PIT for Yale and 2S2 for Harvard but Columbia is approaching years when it may take a sedate conversation, and if camouHage will do for Nicholas Murray Butler and his associates it may be that it has stay.

WHAT WHEAT SAVERS DID.

The day when the wheat harvest will begin be- ing very far away, the Food Administration has published figures showing what has been compshed in the effort wheat in the United States and send the saving to Europe.
 Foregoing a mouthfu of bread and then may have seemed insignificant Is be a negligi- ble duty to many Americans. It is certain that many acted upon that theory and, at least at the outset, did change their habits, but it equal 1y certain that the vast majority saved wheat and substituted other foods at of convent ence and comfort
 They are wondering whether their sacrifice really accomplished anything worth while. The figures show that the little saved here and the little there mounted up until for every man, woman and child in the land bushel of wheat accumulated to send abroad. The total shipment wheat or it's equivalent in wheat products has been 10000, : 900 bushels since last July, whereas with full con sumption the shipments might have fallen as low as 10000 ,00O
