Neutrality now is treason; every
American must be either for <or
against his country. The democracy
we are fighting for is a religion-the
religion Of brotherhood. 1t is a re-
ligion which preserves the rights of
all by equalizing the rights of every
one and which gives each man equal
opportunity Jos. Folk, Ex-Governor
Of Missouri.
These words ring true-they are
words spoken by an American citizen
whose patriotism cannot be questioned.
Neutrality now is treason" This
little sentence contains volumes for
thousands of dirty ours in this coun-
try who are on the fence to ponder
over. To perdition with the neutrals
-neutrals from the standpoint taken
by Joseph Folk.

General Smith Seriously Ill.

Attorney General Smith is seriously
i'll at his apartments in St. Paul; his
life trembles in the balance. He is
suffering from a stroke Of apoplexy
which he sustained Monday evening
Immediately after arising from the
supper table. His physician says that
even if he partially RECEIVERS he will
be incapacitated for further legal du7
ties. General Smith has been an I'M
firing worker and his physician
warned him two years ago to slow
down as he was liable to an attack of
paralysis. But there is always work
to be done in the attorney generals Of
flee, and work was something Mr..
Smith never evaded, for the state has
never had a more conscientious hard
working official than he. Thousands
will hope and pray for General Smiths
recovery. .....

Sister Bess Wilson, editor of the
Redwood Gazette, is, without question,
a patriot of the first order-there is
no halfway patriotism about Bess, as
the columns of her paper clearly show.
Of course, like many other women,
she would like to be granted the priv
lege of voting, and nothing would
please us more than that she be given
special privilege to so do. This is not
saying that we advocate woman suf-
frage generally, but merely bouquet
of violets for Sister Bess because of
her unquestioned patriotism and the
good work she is accomplishing
through the columns Of her paper.

All Praise to the Scotch.

Little has been said of Scotland's
part in the war, but close followers Of
events have given the Scotch people
credit for the great part they have
taken in the attempt to keep the world
sweet and free.
More than nine hundred thousand
Scotchmen are under arms, or have
suffered death or wounds. In the
cities and towns there are no more
eligible men fit to bear arms. They
have all gone. Scotland is now land
Of old men, boys and women-and the
boys are looking forward eagerly for
a chance to do their part. L.
The people do not complain. It is
war. The Scotch fight it out to the
last available man. That is the spirit.
And as for the Scotchmen in the
trenches, the Germans know their met
tie. This and their kits have won
for them the title born of thorough
German understanding, of "Laddies
from hell"
Scotch music, Scotch poetry and
Scotch history tell the tale. The
Scotchman is born fighter, and he
never gives up. These men have not
failed the call Of their country nor the
call Of humanity, and they will not
fail. Scotland is small country, but
nearly million of soldiers have come
from her mines, her mills and her
fields to make way for liberty. It is
great and noble record-but just
what might have been expected.

the wind blows highest? He benches

If some Of those fellows in congress
don't soon let up on this bucking of
the administration they will be max
ing good democrats out of lot of us
born and bred republicans.-Bes M.
Wilson in Redwood Gazette.
1t is fully within the right of anyone
DO criticise the administration, but, at
The present time, it is poor policy for
congressman to attempt the retarda-
ton Of the war program and thus de.
lay the crushing of Prussian autoc-
tracy. Many newspapers have even
criticised President Wilson'S peace
! policy, but this is within their right
| they do not believe that Wilson'S dual
policy Of peace-and-war is what the
people want.

!Director General McAdoo is entitled
to praise for refusing the diamond
bedecked Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt a
private car to convey her from New
York to Spartanburg, S. c., although
she offered to pay 40 fares. Mr.. Nc

China has rara avis in the form
of an emperor who says he is unequal
to the task of holding down the job,
attributing the errors his country has
made of late to his failure to measure
up to the requirements. So he's
stepped down and out. Imagine the
president of this great and glorious
republic doing that; in fact, imagine
any officeholder in the United States
doing it. Imagine it, if you can.
China may not be up to snuff in a lot
Of things, but in others she has us
"beaten a mile."- Worthington Globe.

ENDORSING THE BoLsHEy1KI.

State socialists held convention in
Minneapolis Monday and Endorsed j..
O. Bentall for governor. Bentall is
under sentence for draft-obstruction
and is out on bail. Resolutions de-
handing the repeal Of the CONSUMPTION
law, asking the president to recognize
the Russian Bolsheviki and pledging
support to the Nv. WIS awaiting trial
in Chicago on charges of sedition were
adopted.
It passes comprehension how any
body of men with smattering of In
telligence could indorse the Russian
cutthroats. Even under the most
despotic Of cars Russia was para
disc compared with what it is today
under the rule of the Bolsheviki. Muir
der and rapine stalk abroad in the
land and no ones life is safe. The
atrocities of the Huns fade into insig-
nifcance compared with the beastial
crimes perpetrated daily by Lenine
and his Red Guard murderers. It is
no wonder the sorely- oppressed citi-
zens Of Petrograd welcome the advent
of the Germans.
Why should this or any other civil
lied country recognize the Bolsheviki
government It is misnomer to call
that conglomeration of filth, ignorance
and depravity a government.
There are intelligent socialists in
Minnesota-many of them-and we
should think they would feel deeply
Inundated at the action taken by the
crowd of malcontents that assembled
in Minneapolis on Monday.

he could possibly obtain from the bible

AS there is a deal Of misunder-

at which the grain must be sold but
the minimum under which it cannot be

make the matter clear.

A Sure Cure.

The best cure for pronounced cases
of dis1oyalty during these strenuous
war times when we are asked to do
our utmost in the aid Of the governs

very effective and those treated usually
stay cured. It not only has quieting

is applied but it also has a tendency
to keep others from catching the dis
ease.-Ely Miner.

Is your name written there? Where?
On the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call,
Of course.
Beginning with Red Cross Sunday,
December 15, the entire American ma
ton will be given the opportunity dur
+, ing the week OF December 18 to % to
line up for all those errands Of mercy
that the bright Red Cross against
the white background has come to
symbolize
This is In no sense a call for funds.
II Ia the annual call for service. Ev-
cry member Of every household, from
the grandfather to the nursery, should
be represented on the Red Cross Serv-
ice Flag. Only dollar memberships
are being asked for, and these are for
the calendar year of 1919
Everywhere throughout the four
teen Red Cross divisions the week will
be celebrated as a rededication to per-
sonal service and self sacrifice. No
matter what may be the immediate task
ahead, there are bound to be increas-
ing demands made on the Red Cross
during the coming year, and every
American, whether here or in foreign
parts, has his part to play.
Through the Divisions every Chap
ter, and through the Chapter every
Branch and Auxiliary will spread the
Red Cross Message and endeavor to
enroll every person in every com
munity Already the membership in
this national organization has grown
from some few hundred thousand in
1915 to more than twenty millions since
our own country entered the world
war. There are no limits set for the
1918 Christmas enrolment. Every
American everywhere is the hoped
for goal.
Programs subject to local conditions
will be arranged for the week, based
on suggestions worked out by national
campaign managers at Headquarters

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN The FAR EAST
Bring Food and Supplies to
Czecho- -SIovaks In
Siberia.

TIME American Red Cross has be-
come very active in that part Of
Russia surrounding vladivos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed country has
resulted in saving thousands of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the Czecho-Slovak refugees
has assumed prodigious proportions
and is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi-
vostok report that more than 10000
Czecho-Slovak refugees, 1000 of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganization is attending hundreds of
wounded Czecho-Slo soldiers who
have reached Vladivostok after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against
the pro- o-German forces.
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way west of Harbin, was pitiable. A
majority Of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the Bolsheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the
wounded Czecho-Slovak fighters, who
steadfastly refused to recognize the
BOlsheviki-G German peace, and reliev-
ing the distress Of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
plight was brought to the attention Of
the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo
ser, American consul and head Of the
Red Cross chapter at Harbin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds in Vladivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
civilians.
On authorization of the American
Red Cross, DR.. r. B. Teusler. head of
st. Luke's Hospital at Tokyo, hurried
to Vladivostok with necessary hospital
supplies and perfected medical or
ganization to care for the incoming
wounded soldiers.
This organization, which was COM
plete from medical and sanitary
standpoint, consisted of base hospital
with a bed capacity for 200, one rolling
canteen, two sanitary trains, one field
first-aid unit and disinfecting train.
DIR. Teusler. .cabled that there were
| In active service with his unit fourteen
American and seven Japanese doctors
| and fifteen American and seventeen
japanese nurses. All the American
| doctors are volunteering their services
Or. Teusler said he hoped to enlis1
thirty additional American doctors and
| fifty American nurses In the Orient.

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
FOR CHRISTMAS WEEK
American Public Asked to Respond With Uni
versal Membership.

Cross workrooms, Employees day
(when special tribute will be paid to
the contribution made by the iaboring
man), the week ending with general
Cleanup" day, when every person In
the community not yet enrolled will
again be personally solicited for mem
bership.
II is believed that some time during
the week at least one performance Of
the masque, "The Roll Call" especial
ly written by Mr.. Percy Mackaye, with
stage settings designed by Robert Ed
mond jones, win be given in every
community. This has but twelve
speaking parts and is arranged espe-
cially for community presentation,
with men, women and children In the
pantomime parts. It can be given
either elaborately or very simply, az
conditions warrant. In its dramatic
theme 1t expresses the emancipation
Of the human spirit from tyranny
through the humanizing agency Of the
American Red Cross. Copies Of the
masQue, az well as directions for cos
tuning and incidental music, can be
secured at Red Cross Headquarters in
every town and city.
One Of the most novel and interest
ing features Of the campaign promises
to be the One-day and One-Hour plan
Of enrolment. This consists of divid-
ing the community into units Of one
hundred houses, the idea being to have
sufficient workers to canvass these
homes practically simultaneously, a
sort of "home stretch" distributing
| the work among many with a mini
mum Of time consumed by each.
The official uniform worn by Roll
Call workers will be q cap and arm
brassard. These are to be made Of
red flannel and small paper circle In
white will carry the Red Cross en-
blem. This uniform will serve both as
protection against the unscrupulous and
as an aid to the workers themselves.
Corporations, business firms and In
dustries will be supplied with 1907
Service flag.
There will be no Christmas sale of
tuberculosis seals this year. Instead,
the Red Cross has made a direct ap-
preparation Of $2,50O,0O0 for this work,
and ten seals will be awarded each
4 person who joins the Roll Call as a
reminder Of the very important work
being done by the National Tubercu-
l0sis Association.
Wars may come and wars may 60
but the Red Cross goes on forever.
