publicans. The Colonel was generous

down they all got good word from
Tcddy-all republicans did. Inferen-
entially his Endorsement included Her
man Mueller and Congressman Davis,
Ell? Fine Bully!
Col. Roosevelt s one time position
as leader Of the Bull Moose herd was
scarcely or never referred to while he
was in Minnesota. He was here, you
know, for the Liberty Loan!

Did he say a good word for our
great President, the leading states
man Of the Allied. councils? Did he
utter aught in communication Of the
very admirable manner in which the
stupendous business Of national de-
Tense Of our beloved nation is being
conducted? Not that one could notice.
Probably this high priest Of the Square

J. J. JACOBSON
- Candidate for 49,
Representative-at-Large
Grow Wine and Morrison Counties

Coming before the Voters Of Crow
Wing and Morrison counties permit me
! to present few statements showing to
some extent my efficiency as public
; servant and also in some measure what
my neighbors think Of me.
| I have served IL years as County Com
missioner for Morrison county, 6 years
! acting as chairman.
| Twenty years ago a few farmers re-
siding in the town Of Elm Dale organ
lied a Mutual Fire Insurance company.
They elected me secretary which posi-
ton have held continuously since. The
company has now more than 600 mem
bers, insuring risks covering over two
million dollars.
Eleven years ago the Elm Dale Farm
! ers' Telephone Co. was formed by few
neighbors. Today we have $40 men,
bers. I have served as secretary con-
tinuously.
The Elm Dale Shipping association
was organized January, 1913, shipping
| so to 80 cars of stock each year. AS
! manager I distribute annually to the
patrons around $3.50, 900.
I am farmer and laborer, having
had my home for Al years on the farm
now owned by me in the town Of Elm
Dale, Morrison county.
AS such my sympathies are entirely
with the farmers and the laboring men,
! recognizing, however, the necessity Of
protecting capital far enough to afford
safety for investments and reasonable
income from such INVESTMENTS.
Believing as 1 do that a representa-
tive Of the people should serve the peo-
pie, it will be my endeavor if elected to
vote and work to the best of my ability
as the people of Crow Wing and Morri,
son counties would want me to, accord
ing as may be able to ascertain their
wishes.
Your vote and support will be appre-
ciated.

the war was the complete collapse of German conceit.
 Our first German prisoners seemed to tnlnk they were to be prisoners only until rescued. The officers seemed to think the earth was too low ly for them to tread on.
 NOW they come in downcast and sad but eager to see their own share in the hopless task come to an end, hopeless task they know it is. The | officers will admit that there is no | chance, no possible chance, for Ger l many to win or to make it a draw. The story of some German surrend- CTS shows an utterly abandoned hope
 lessness on the part of some of them There are authentic instances of 5OC ] men surrending to 50, or of one man
 bringing in a dozen prisoners, or
 even 20, and in one case 50.
 | The Germans have lost hope since
 they have found out how fatally they
 have underestimated the free peoples | The whole war is a story of fright
 ful misjudgment of other nations or the part of the Germans. They came on with an overwhelming army. Al l times we were outnumbered 10 to 1 They came on with full equipment o1 I. weapons with tremendous prepara- l tions. They saw themselves in Paris
 or in London-but what they did no count on was the character of tht
 free peoples of the world.
 They expected to terrorize us all
 British and French. And everythin,
 they tried only spurred every lagginl
 one to fresh efforts.

CONDITIONS IN GERMANY.

What the internal troubles which are being reported as occurring in Ger many are going to amount to no one can tell We on the outside looking in have reason to hope that they mean the dawning of a new light in that country in spite of the fact that we know what kind of a bringing up the people there have received. We can imagine what sort of a handicap such trouble will mean to the imperial Ger man government if it continues and we know what assistance it will be to the belligerents who are fighting the central powers. Germany has had trouble of this kind before and though conditions there must be steadily growing worse instead of better there is no certainty but what the kaiser win be able to straighten out the tan Sle.
 IL is to be remembered of course that Berlin has played it's cards in order to embarrass it's enemies by just such trouble. It figured on the Irish revo- lution to check Great Britain. Ii trusted that Mexico could keep this country busy and if that was not enough that Japan could be won over to an alliance with Carranza for in- vading the United States. It has tried to play South American countries against the allies while its efforts against Italy and Russia are likewise well known Inasmuch as it has beer able to foster such trouble for it's ene- mics even though it's ambitions were invariably defeated it may also pos sess the cleverness to keep Austria under it's thumb and to keep the Ger. man people from doing some thinking of their own. but it must realize tha: if it is going to do so it has got tC put forth every possible energy, and il the meantime it remains for us not u put any false reliance upon these con ditions about which we are none tot
 well informed. We must put our mail dependence on ourselves.

GENERAL WOOD.

In connection with the report that Major General Leonard Wood has been wounded in Francs, it is brought out that he is thsrs making . study of the conditions among our troops and on the firing line the same as others of his rank are doing. have done or will do. So far as indicated it Is not shown that it Is intended Co make use of his long experiences to any greater extent than 1t is to employ other ma jor generals who have just been raised to that rank from the national guard or from lower grades in the regular army.
 And yet it is General Wood who has been ,calle6 for from Great Brit ain that his knowledge and experiences in military affairs may be employed tc their full capacity in aiding this coun- try to wage the war to the greates' advantage.
 Great surprise has been manifested over the fact that General Wood is not and has not been called to more i'm portant service than he has beer 1ince this country, entered the war From the report of General Pershinl it is not indicated that he has sus tained a serious wound. That his re covery will be complete and rapid i I therefore to be anticipated, but 1t i
 also realized that he should be s' placed that the country through tn
 army will get the greatest benefit iron his services wherever that may be l The nation must make the best use o | it's best men and when it comes t
 military affairs there can be no ques
 ton but what General Wood occupie | a commanding position.

nal. but providing a canal to take care of such volume of business and not having the vessels to carry the freight IS a good deal like the situation which New England has sbsen in for many months with. navigable rivers but no bargez or tow boats to use them in order to provide it with its usual sup ply of fuea.
 If the Erie canal Is going to be ready to accommodate the vessels which might be employed to carry freight from the Great Lalnes to New York, 10 immediate points or even be- yond. or to transport 1t in the oppo- site direction, it will be of very little service if there arc not enough yes szfs provided to handle such tonnage. If the state engineer could state tha; enough vessels would be ready by the time the canal is open for service 2 great relief to tho transportation con- gestion would De assured. A canal without boats is as bad as railroad system without rolling stock.

SECRETARY BAKERS TALK.

That was a long heart to heart talk which Secretary Baker had with the senate committee on military affairs in which he occupied a great deal of time going into details of explanation, but from the statements which he made he realized that such explana- tion was called for by the impression which he had left as the result of his previous testimony.
 Mir. Baker spoke at great length upon the criticisms which had been made of the department and told of the effect of the advice which was received from experts abroad who were in direct touch with the very conditions which must be met. He doubtless gave much new light as to the great task which the department has shouldered and he certainly has reason to feel proud of the army which has been raised in this coun- try and made ready to be sent abroad to say nothing of the large number who are already ir France and the work which they are engaged in there Mir. Baker has told a great story. He has told more than he otherwise would have but for the unfavorable- criti- cisms which have been publicly made IL is. as he says it is, a tremeD- dous undertaking and that the people of this country want to do greai thing greatly, but with all the intri. cate and complicated tasks, with thu overworked experts, with the giganti' problems which they have got to solve even with the great measure of sue cess as compared with the small pro portion of failure as set forth by tn secretary, doesn't it appear reasonabl that the department should be givel all the possible and best assistano that it can get such as would be fur nished by a war cabinet?

CANAL BOATS.

In connection with the talk which has been indulged in regarding the use of the canals of the country and the fear that the work on the Erie canal in New York state will not have pro- ressed to the point where that i'm portant waterway can be brought into use during the coming season, a state meut which affords much comfort has been furnished by the engineering de- pertinent of that state to the effect that the enlarged canal win be ready during the summer of 1918 to take care of the ten million tons of freight which it is expected to handle.
 That gives satisfaction in regard to the first matter of vital importance lin connection with the use of the ca

DESPERATE PROJECT

The session had just been conclud- ed and it was baffled and mutinous small boy who bent his baGx to siay- cry, horrid doom and humiliation, and -donned the necktie which his cruel parent had insisted upon as part of his school attire. For some obscure reason the small boy had decided to wear no cravat whatever that day, and had given in merely to force.
 He surveyed stonily this incomprs- hensibie woman who could so cheer fully on sticking pins into her hair after her outrageous treatment of her offspring. She even looked as though she were smiling!
 T wanta know something,' he burst out haughtily, standing very straight.
 sWell?" inquired his parent polite ly. Yes, she was--she actually had a smile on her face, the sort that one wears when things are all right and nothing tragic has happened!
 I wanta know" he proceeded cold ly, whether when a boy goes aTay from home--if he has to have an ay. ful lot of money" There! Now there would an end to that infuriatingly | cheerful expression.
 He was a trif1e taken back when l she failed to shriek and clasp him tc her bosom. "Hm?" she asked, turn ing, two long hairpins between he, lips. <She surveyed him just as though he might have been the boy from across the street!
 | Why, yes! I think it might take l quite lot of money! There would
 be things to buy, you know-to eat
 And he'd have to pay for place tt

 'Yes!" he exploded the bomb a
 her fair and square. She actual,
 went on doing things to her hair a!
 though he had not spoken. T don
 think" he stated distinctly, "tha you'll see me any more I don't thinl I I'll come back here again."
 N "Oh!' said his parent seriously
 turning around and abandoning he
 coiffure. Well, that's sort of a sur prise! Where are you going?"
 He glowered at her darkly. "Oh,
 know of place" he said distantly
 'They don't care if you wear collar
 or neckties or nothin'! Mebbe I won
 even write you and you'll wonder an l wonder where I am!'
 "Oh, I suppose I might think abou it now and then" his parent tol him calmly. "But of course if you F trather go somewhere else I ,iaDuldn have you stay here for worlds! Onl it's pretty cold weather and I woul
 not try to go very far if I were you! , "Mebbe I'll fall in a snowdrift an freeze to death,' he surmised hope
