BLINKING THE TRUTH

Hans Rieg, sturdy American Of
German descent, told the people of
st. Paul a few days ago that it was
sheer folly to blink the truth in days
like these. However unpleasant the
truth, the wisest and safest course is
70 face it. The recent primary cleo
ton clearly establishes the fact that
ii this state there are those who in
spite of all protestations of loyalty
harbor IN their hearts the spirit of
enmity toward the United States in
this war;
Something like a year ago New
Ulm achieved shameful notorietv
as the first American city to oppose
openly the government in it's war eff
forts. Dazed and overwhelmed by
the avalanche of loyal resentment
heaped upon it's action, New Ulm
made a desperate plea for a second
chance, and offered many outward
manifestations of renewed patriotic
ardor.
Because of it's original notoriety it
was naturally under suspicion. Be-
cause of this suspicion it would nat
urally be the earnest wish of every
loyal citizen to place the city's repu-
tation beyond question at the first
opportunity.
Many loyal Germans, mindful of
the fact that Brown county would be
closely watched, urged the necessity
Of record that would justify a claim
70 patriotic integrity.
Then the election came. James A.
Peterson, indicted, convicted and SEN
fenced on charge of disloyalty, de-
feated Senator K1ute Nelson in
j Brown county.
Some one may say shat this has
no significance from a patriotic
standpoint and may merely represent
political opinion. Let us see. In the
year 1912 this same James A. Peter
son ran for United States senator
against this same Knute Nelson. It
was normal year. Senator Nelson
received 4O2 votes and Mr.. Peterson
255 votes in Brown county.
In the year 1916 James a. Peter
son was candidate for lieutenant
governor, and in Brown county he re-
ceived 1874 votes out of total of 1862
votes.
Now what has happened in The
year 1913 so greatly to enlarge Mr..
Peterson's popularity in Brown coun-
ty? Nothing except that Mr.. Pet
erson had opposed The war and that
Senator Nelson had splendidly sup
ported it.
Mr.. Peterson as an avowed enemy
OF the war carried Brown county, al
though he had been unable to carry
it il previous years When he repre-
sented only his own personal for
tunes in a purely political campaign.
The connection is SO complete and
logical that all defense is swept away
No wonder that loyal Germans are
heart sore at the spectacle of large
German population assuming a posi-

LET HIM LIVE

AS long as the flowers their perfume
So long I'd let the kaiser live,
Live and live fo- a million years
With nothing to drink but Belgium
tears,
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst.
But the sailed brine of a Scotch
mans curse
l would let him live on a dinner each
day,
Served from silver on a golden
Served with things both dainty and
sweet,
Served with everything but things
to eat.
And I'd make him a bed Of silkea
sheen
With costly linens to lie between
With covers of down and filets of
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to it's comforts he would
yield
It would stink with rot of the bat
tlefeld,
And blood and bones and brains of
men
Should cover him, smother him and
then
His pillows would cling with the rot
ten cloy,
Cloy from the grave of a soldier
boy.
And when Gods stars their vigils
keep.
And while the waves the white

sands sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep.
And through all the days, through
all the years,
There should be an anthem in his
ears,
Ringin and singing and never
done
From the edge of light to the set of
sun
Moaning and moaning and moan
ing wild
A ravaged French girls bastard
child.
And l would build him castle by
the sea,
AS lovely castle as ever could be;
Then I'd show him ship from over
the sea,
AS fine a ship as ever could be,
Laden with everything good to eat,
Yet scarce does she touch the sill
vered sands,
Scarce may he reach his eager
hands,
When hot and hellish molten shell
Would change his heaven into hell.
And though he'd watch on the wave
SWEEP SuoTo
Our Lusitania would rise no more.
In "No Mans Land" where the Irish
fell,
I'd start the kaiser a private hell.
I'd fab him, stab him, give him gas,
| And in every wound I'd pour
ground glass.
I'd march him where the brave boys
died
Out past our lads they crucifed.
In the fearful gloom Of his living

There is one thing I'd do before

I'd make him sing in a stirring man

HE'S COMING BACK!

When Michael O'Hara, honor pen
ite-tiary prisoner, walked away
from the stone quarry last year and
disappeared he was not seeking
merely his own liberty. He went to
join the armies that are fighting for
the liberty of all the world. Nobody
knew it then, but the prison knows
it today.
Never a word did the penitentiary
hear of him until letter came the
other day to Warden P. E. Thomas.
It came from the British army IN
France. And O'Hara wrote:
If the Huns don't get me, I'm
coming back when the war is
over to finish my CONTRACT with
the state.
Which was his way of getting past
the censor the information that after
the war he intends coming back to
Ohio to complete penitentiary term.

Seek Hearst Agent
Who Put Circulars

MOUNT VERNON. N. Y, July 28.-
Hearst agents, who have been making a
,ast desperate stand in this city. to-day
faced prosecution for the violation of
another law.
The Hearst men broke one law last
week when they displayed advertising
posters in violation Of city ordinance.
For this offence Hearst agent re-
ceived a suspended sentence in court
and warning not to do it again.
The other law which the Hearst ennis
saries have been smashing was the
statute which forbids the insertion of
advertising circulars in newspapers. 1t
was after the city ordinance against
displaying posters had bean enforced
against them that the Hearst men be-
gan to break this second law. They
began to insert Hearst advertising post
ers in copies of this city's one local
paper, "The Daily Argus
The posters, which advertised "New
York American" special write-up of this
clty's war achievements, were slippe
unto the daily paper some time after
the copies left 'fThe Argus" mailing
room. Both "The Argus" publishers
and city officials are now trying to find
out who did it. When they do there
will be prosecutions.
When the Hearst posters inside the
local paper began arriving at Mount

fishers learned something of the extent
of this towns anti Hearst feeling
