this mass. of ice become hideous and

this mass of ice become hideous and
dead.
Do you hear that dull thud, that
cracking, deep and dreadful? IT'S the
Neva tearing loose. You said it was
granite. See, it splits like glass. IT'S
the breaking of the ice, I tell you.
IT'S the water alive, joyous and terri
BILE. Progress commences. IT'S human
ity beginning it's march. IT'S the river
which retakes its course, uproots, man
giles, strikes together, brushes and
browns in it's wave not only the en-
pire of the upstart Gar Nicholas, but
all of the relics of ancient and modern
despotism.
That tre3tle work floating away? 1t
is the throne That other trestle? 1t
is the scaffold. That old book, half
sunk? It is the old code Of capitalist
laws and morals. That old rookecy just
sinking? 1t is a tenement house In
which wage slaves lived. See these all
pass by; passing by nevermore to re-
turn; and for this immense engulfng,
for this supreme victory OF. life over
death, what has been the power neces-
sary? One of thy looks, oh sun! One
stroke of thy strong arm, oh, labor!- -
Victor Hugo.

Official paper of City Of New, Ulm.

The recent auto accidents at Comfrey
and Springfield lead one to wonder
whether there may be some very good
and potent reasons for the extreme
anti-non-partisan league feeling existing
in those two towns. Their saloon traffic
with the people from the surrounding
desert is probably quite lucrative and it
would be pity to have it cut Oft. Gov
>ernor Burnquist and the Safety Com
mission must be kept good natured and
assured of the loyalty Of those two places
in order that they may not close up
the booze joints which are supplying the
boot-eggers. An easy way to prove
ones loyalty to Gov. Burnquist -
is to fight the non-partisans.

A PICTURE OF RUSSIA

We are in Russia. The Neva is fro
zen. Heavy carriages roll upon its sur
ace. They improvise city. They
lay out streets. They build houses.
They buy They sell. They laugh. They
dance. They permit themselves any
thing. They even light fires on this
water become granite. There is win
ter, there is ice and they shall last
forever.
A CLEAN pale and wan spreads over
the sky and one would say that the
sun is dead. But no, thou art not dead
oh Liberty! At an hour when they
have most profoundly forgotten thee
at moment when they least expect
thee, thou shalt arise, OH, dazzling
sight Thou shalt shoot thy bright anc
burning rays, thy heat, thy life, on al

A MATTER OF MISTAKES

When a plumber makes a mistake,
he charges twice for: it.
When a. lawyer makes a mistake,
it's just what he wanted, because he
has a chance to try the case all over
again.
When a. doctor makes a mistake, he
buries it..
When a Judge makes a mistake, it
becomes the law of the land.
When an electrician makes a mistake,
he blames it on induction; nobody
knows what that is.
But when an editor makes a mistake
in story, he gets (censored) for he's
got no excuse. ,.

The Proper Spirit

Hall County Attorneys would publicly
denounce acts of vandalism and other
such doings as County Attorney A. L.
Young Of Sibley County recently did in
the Winthrop News there would be
fewer acts of violence and less personal
spite work committed in the name of
loyalty.
To enforce his arguments for decency
the County Attorney quoted as follows
from President Wilson's address delivered
before the labor convention at Buffalo,
n. Y. last fall:
1--WE are in the conflict across the
waters in support of Americanism,
srpaerican Ideals, good morals, obedience
hi shEw and the good order of society, the
righ1<t,i every Individual to all freedom
and liberty which do not tend to deprive
any other Individual of the same right.
How inconsistent it is and how highly
improper then is it not for persons and
individuals, claiming loyalty, good Amer
! lean citizenship, and to be lawabiding to
Drowl about in the night time and in a
coWardly way under the cover of dark
ness mar and injure other peoples
property and to discolor and take de-
light in making it seem abormal.
and then again, what good does
conduct of that kind accomplish? 1t
would seem that the least thought on
8, ne subject ought to dictate that it
cures no evils, but, on the contrary,
kirdles new ones, arouses animosities,
land stirs the victims to resentment and
dispositions to retaliation. And it is
positively true that these results are
brought about. How decidedly wrong,
then, is it to do these things!'
Young is to be commended for the
stand he takes and 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that Others may follow suit.

MINNESOTA LAKES THE
PLAYGROUND OF THE NATION

= Ten Thousand lakes is not a mere
figure of speech - it is a concrete fact,
and the? lakes are the prettiest in the
world. The hills and valleys, great
timbered stretches and the rivers and
streams all combine in the greatest
picture Of natural beauty to beseen any
where.
Even. CUR own people have no real
conceptions of the grandeur Of thescenery
of northern Minnesota, and now that
we are building good roads and other
wise providing for the tourist, 1T is rea-
.sonable to believe that the efforts OF:
the association will meet with speedy
response and: that soon the fame Of
northern Minnesota as a. playground
will be- know the country over.
We have but to make our wonderful
domain known to have ii appreciated
by the thousands upon thousands who
are looking for exactly what we have
to- offer = people who would be- satisfied
with much less. .~ H.. -.
Vermillion, Pelican, Pakegama.. Leech.
Red, Wmnibegoshish, Rainy and Lake
of the Woods are the best known lakes
of the ten thousand, because: Of their
size, but there are thousands Of lesser
bodies of clear, sparkling water that are
Just as attractive, and are awaiting the
pleasure of the people who long for the
real beauty in nature. ~
A consistent advertising campaign
will bring people to us from afar, and
they will bring others with them, because
there is no other locality that approaches
northern Minnesota. n. s
This weeks Review contains evidence
that some of the people in the lake
regions of the state realize the value
of advertising and have decided to do
their share to build up their section Of
Minnesota. The three advertisements
this weeks paper contains all tell but q
! mere fraction Of the pleasures to be found
in the resort regions so near to us and yet
, so far because no one has ever before
asked us to visit them. Try to get
time this summer for an outing that Will
show you the beauties Of your home
state There is no falrer Or more Won
derful state taken as a whole in the
Union. Get acquainted with it. Don't
let people from Kansas and Nebraska
and Chicago and other places to he
south know more Of our own section n
than we dos ourselves. In writing to
4 the advertisers be sure to tell them you
saw the advertisement in the Review 'y
This will help both you and us.

Satan finds mischief still for idle
hands to do is still true, evidently,
and this was proven again when young
Wartha of this city stole an automobile
and sold it last week. Wartha had been
an employe at the Review office for about
four years and we never found the slight
est indications of thievery in his make
up. He frequently had opportunities
to make away with cash or with other
materials in the place but never was
anything ever missed during the whole
slime he was working here. Last fall
he thought he saw chance Of advance
ment by working for the Liesch Print
ing Company and left our employ.
From that time on he has worked only
Internationally and frequently has been
off duty. This gave him time to run
around and to think up mischief and
chat he used his spare time for this
purpose appears very plain since he
managed to get into what was very
serious mischief. The work or fight
order may do away with such escapades.
A lively, spirited youngster needs to be
kept employed for he's got to be doing
something every minute and if he's
handled right he'd just as soon expend
his efforts to some good end as not.
Wartha was not bad boy, not naturally
dishonest and not nearly so foolish as
his act would lead one to think. Joy
riding has been looked upon with toll
GRANGE by many and it is very doubtful
indeed whether he had any intention
of making away with the car for keeps
when he drove it out of the yard at
Wagrer's- Probably if he had been
working at steady job he wouldn' t
shave thought of such thing as a JOY
ride to Minneapolis in car not his own
on a working day.

.N0MORE OILING OF
STREETS u THIS YEAR.
FEDERAL REGULATIONS FORBID
USE OF ROAD OILS BY
MUNICIPALITIES 4
NEW FIRE TRUCK WILL COST
# NEARLY EIGHT THOUSAND
DOLLARS "

From $1,000 to $4,000. will be expended
for the new auto fire truck which is
to be supplied the Fire Department of
the city of New Ulm. Bids have been
asked for and will be received up to Mon
day evening, July 20. The new machine
is to be combination truck with
chemical engine, hose carrier, and pump.
The capacity of the pump is to be 800
gallons per minute with pressure of
1875 pounds. 1900 feet of hose, will be
carried in addition to the 200 feet of hose
belonging to the chemical engine.
-a. Complete Apparatus.
Some time ago committee consisting
of Mayor Eibner, Chief Henry Engel
and his assistants Jos. F. Groebner and
Fred Pfaender and Councillors Fred
Behnke and Christ Filzen made a. trip
to the Twin Cities to look over various
kinds of trucks and it was their report
to the council which brot about the call
for bids. The machine will be complete
fire apparatus in itself and will be of
great advantage in case fire should
occur at any of the large outlying insti-
tutions, such. as the hospitals, college,
mills, breweries and brick yards.
= No More Road Oil.
The application of the city made to
the State Highway Commission to allow
the purchase of road oil has been denied:
Federal regulations prevent the sale of
this oil to municipalities. This leaves
the city practically without any road oil
and no more work in this line will be done
during this season. It is possible that
the request for Tarvia may be. granted
but this will depend upon the decision of
a representative Of the Highway Com
mission who is to visit New Ulm some
time soon.
East Enders Praised.
Representatives from the east end of
town appeared at the meeting to make
sure that their Fourth of July parade
would not be interrupted and also to
request the use Of lights for their park
both for their Fourth of July celebration
and their Red Cross benefit which is to
be given Saturday evening this week
The request was granted cheerfully and
the people from that section of town were
commended for their patriotic spirit.
