considerable water to the streams,

the actions of this preacher by three

erring preacher and advised him to

OUR RESPONSIBILITY .

This war is to be won not by one
man or one thousand mer or one mill.
ion men or one million people. It is
to be won by the united efforts of the
individuals of many nations.
Every American citizen has an indi
vidual share of the responsibility. The
more powerful and effective the Amer.
ican forces are the shorter will be tn.
war and the shorter the war the fewe,
lives lost the greater number OF
American soldiers who will return
home victorious.
Every American who econe m:zes ir
consumption of material who in
creases production who saves apf
lends his savings to the Government
does something to help win the war.

and what he pleased withal. o.
that proposition his counsel proposes
to appeal to the Supreme Court for
reversal of the verdict.
To the lay mind it would seem high
ly improbable that the tribunal will
overturn the espionage act on consti-
tutional grounds. Inherent right of a
self governing nation to take any nec-
essary measures in the prosecution of
war no matter how they may circum-
scribe individual rights would seem te
be beyond debate. As Judge Landis
so clearly pointed out in sentencing
the I. w. w. convicts fortnight ago
the legal right of free speech to op-
pose going to war and to oppose prep
aration for war is at an end the mo-
ment war is declared.
When Congress declared that state
of war with Germany existed the right
OF Mr.. Debs to oppose that action or
any of it's results was ended. Yet he
had gone on with his opposition with
his utterances encouraging resistance
to the policy and acts of the United
States with his open approval of the
disloyal Socialist platform adopted :
st. Louis with his assertions about be-
ing as guilty as the convicted Rose
Pastor Stokes with his anti-draft talk
about cannon fodder" and his advice
to Socialists not to worry about trea.
son to the masters.
MIR. Debs has made the ISSUE clear
and simple. He admits saying all he
is charged with saying and asserts
his right to say these things. In
due time he will learn whether his
plea is in consonance with the law OF
this land.
Emmons County record., 1918-09-19
NO COVENATED PEACE WITH
GERMANY.

America unless we repudiate civil
ization and abandon humanity and put
premium on savagsry and brutality
can make no covenanted peace no
peace by agreement or negotiation
with Germany. It would be cove
nant with hell partnership with in
fanny.
Nor would such a peace secure
peace except so long as it suited Ger
many. We can judge the future
only by the past and to Germany
sacred treaties are scraps of paper
only. C.ermany's whole history is
record of national treachery national
bad faith national dishonor national
murder and national infamy.
Article 56 of The Hague Convention
to which Germany solemnly subscrib.
ed is: Family honor and rights the
lives of persons and private property
as we'll as religious convictions and
practice must be respected. Private
property can not be confscated"
The world knows how Germany has
observed this article. There are mil
lions of individual witnesses to hel
fragrant breaches of it. Every acre
of foreign soil Germany has occupied
bears mute but impeachable evidence
of it. There is plenty of German evil
dence of it too.
"The goods of different sorts seized
in the enemies territories are in such
large quantities that the difficulty of
knowing where to put them increases
day by day. At the request of the
Prussian minister of war all cham
bers OF commerce have been asked to
give all possible information with re-
gard to storehouses sheds etc which
could be used temporarily to ware
house the spoil" (From the Frank
II Aei.ung January 1851
The German papers have been
crowded with advertisements Of sale
of property taken from France and
Belgium. Members Of the Reichstag
have boasted of others have ccnsured
the amount of booty brought to Ger
many from the occupied territory and
the destruction has been far greater
than the confiscation.
Of the old mer and children MUIR
dered of the women and giris ravishad
Of the nohcor,bataats tNken from their
homes and deported to work for their
conquerers of the merchant ships sunk
and passengers and crews murdered
of the hospital ships sunk the hospitals
and unfortifed cities bombed of the
mutilation and murder by c-ucitixion
and otherwise cf wounded and captur-
ed soldiers-of all this beastliness
there is plenty Of evidence that no one
can disbelieve.
The best answer to German peace
propaganda is sinking more U-boats
sending more nl,n to France speeding
up our work along every line and a
heavy subscripion to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan. Peace must mean the tri-
umph of right and justice the defeat
of Germanism not truce with it not
a compromise with it.
Our soldiers in France are glorious
~ doing their part toward victory; the
Liberty Loan subscription must show
hem that the people at home are do
ng theirs.

DOES YOUR farm

All concede that it Is absolutely necf
sssAry fer lawyers, teachers, and ply
sasians to keep UP course Of reading
and study In order to do their best
work If you were told that your fam
nv physician or dentist never read
say magazines or papers published for
he bettefment OF his profession and
that ha knew nothing about new rem
sdies and improved methods Of treat
Ing diseases, would you continue to
patronise him when It would cost no
more to have the service of skilled
physician fully posted in regard to all
recent discoveries in medical science?
II you find that there liz something
wrong with your farming and that you
are not making any money, don't you
think It would pay you to Investigate
carefully and learn where the leaks
are on your farm? OF course, you can
learn many things BY experimenting,
but experience is often dear school.
II many other farmers have already
learned at considerable cost many of
the things that you want to learn, why
not profit by their experience and save
your energy, time and money for some
thing else!
