1t hardly ever makes a real pa
triot out of a pro-German sym
pathizer to force him to kiss the
flag. The better way would be
to make him kiss the cement
hard. He would then have an
object lesson which might jar
an idea loose in his nut that he
was on the wrong trail. A living
example for an object lesson OF
that kind lives in our way here
in Ely and his'n is coming be-
fore long it he don't watch out
A judge and jury of real patriots
can be found right here in Ely
to try such a case and will do the
verdict business up to the queen :
taste, too.

81 GA ship a minute seems to be
the slogan at our shipyards. That
Bridge of Ships to Pershing'
will no doubt become a reality
the undersea murder boats to the
contrary Notwithstanding. When
this war is over a bill for the
sunken ships should be made out
and handed to the Beast of Der.
lin for liquidation-and make
him come across. If not today,
then soak his posterity for the
full amount. Show them that the
worm in their head has outlawed
them among nations. This is not
reprisal, but a square deal among
men. Men, in the full sense of
the term as Americans under
stand and live.

One of the epigrams which
should be saved to posterity
along with Don't give up the
ship. " "War is He'll" etc., is the
one an American soldier said just
off the coast of Belfast, Ireland,
when his ship was torpedoed and
he and his mates were swimming in
the ice cold water. He sang out
to them in that happy lucky
American style-"Where do we
go from here?" Can you beat it?
1t should be engraved on every
soldiers and sailors monument
and be incorporated in the Great
Seal of the United States.

help save the crops, charge the
farmer reasonable wages for our
services and then turn the wages
over to the Red Cross. Think it
over and let's make the offer.
There are plenty of cars in the
city in which the workmen could
be transported several miles and
back shortly. There is tons Of
idle muscle in the city that should
find a happy vent on the end of

One ton of dynamite accident
ally let fall from flying machine
when perpendicularly over the
Kaiser's bungaloo might make
him to know how the women and
babies in London feel over Ger.
man raiders. Count Won Zeppe-
lin, the inventor of the big MUIR
der machine, can never expect a

erected to his memory. Huns do
not know enough to appreciate
the fact that we are making re-
prisals on them for their dirty
work. Our ideals are higher than
their line of thought runs.

just as a matter of curiosity
only we would really like to
know how many times both sides
have taken each other prisoners.
1t would be interesting to know
just how many times each side
has killed each other. Can the
Germans produce a twenty-year-
old fighter over night Where
does all the German man-power
come from? Have tney lied to
us all these years on their census
reports. There is a lot Of things
yet many of us who read the war
reports are hazy about.

Labor Day this year should
mean something to each of us
since the Work or Fight order
has been posted for our observ-
ance. There should be a goodly
parade this time if ever. We are
all wOrkmen now. With one fell
swoop the Safety Commission
placed us all on one common
level as workers. And if that or
der is not extended to eternity af-
ter the war, the Commission
should be spoken to about it.

The United States is handling
rs per cent of the renewals Of

our boys got to thinking, but now

When the flag is passing, it is
THE thing to do for one to re.
move his hat. = Not through any
fear of bodily injury for not do
ing it, but for what the flag rep
resents. Through ignorance eve-.
it is inexcusable, for one should
know such things. When the
courtesy is known and not COM
piled with, some husky lad with
the arm of a blacksmith should
proceed to knock it off and our
word for it there is no court 10

would bring in a verdict of sui
eide instead of a fine for the lad
who did the job. How would you
like to be called for jury work in
a case of that kind?

Things seem wrong in this
world at times. Take the man
who invented Siberia and the Ex-
lie system. He was merely muir
dered. The balance of his life,
according to human justice,
should have been spent in the hell
he invented in Siberia. Perhaps
however there is lake full of
hot birthstone somewhere in the
hereafter which he is enjoying to
his neck. Let us make on devout
wish about it anyhow.

Can you imagine what is in the
head of the Hun who drops a
bomb on a Red Cross hospital ?
Can you think that any human

agine America ruled by a beast
of that kind God forbid.

War makes strange bedfellows.
A few years ago the Japs trimmed
the Russians whiskers. Now he
wants to go in and save his for
mer enemy's country for him. The
Japs are great fighters and con-
slider it a disgrace to get back
from the front alive. If we could
yaccinate some of our slackers
with this japanese dope, what an
army we could have as soon as it
worked.

Remember how before we got
into this fracas the newspapers
camoufaged their editorials, u.s.

President Wilson has asked
each of us to be manly men and
real Americans and to forego the
lynchings as it gives Germany an
idea that we are toughs instead
of real gentlemanly sportsmen.
And the call should be needed.
There are courts to go to with our
troubles. While seemingly there
are cases at times needing the
hemp. let us see that the laws
handle the offenders rather than
masked men.

1t might help some if Uncle
Sam would have some of his good
artifcers make a branding iron

users. They certainly have some
thing coming-and let's give it

Poor old Austria loses if she
wins. German slavery is their al
lotment should Germany win
but she wont. In the final settle
ment it is probable that Presi-
dent Wilson will be kind to them
and mayhap Austria will have a
brighter future than ever. 1t
would seem that some of their
statesmen might be astute enough
to discern this and make a break
now for the speeding up of that
future.

Judge Morris naturalized eigh-

well.

FOOTBALL SEASON ON
LOCAL GRID TOMORROW

Tomorrow afternoon the Bemldj1
high school football eleven will usher
in the 1918 season by cutting loose
against the heavy Blackduck eleven,
on the local gridiron at 3 o'clock.
S. w. Arends, Blackduck coach, is a
former college star. being selected all
Hawkeye fullback in 1917, while
playing for Dubuque college and sem
back for Iowa State Teachers college
of Cedar Falls, Iowa.
The Bemidji eleven will be COM
posed Of practically new and mex
perien.ed players, but under the
coaching of Principal J. w. Smith,
former Carroll college center, should
develop into strong eleven before
the season is far along.
Four fast players are trying for
the end positions. Captain Simons
and Denu are working at the right
wing, and Doran and Cochran are
alternating at the left side. Boyce,
"a new man from Cass Lake, Opsahl
and Neuman are being whipped into
shape for tackles. Dahl of Glenwood, |,
the heaviest NAN on the team, koors
and Washburn have been working at
guards.
Dunk" McDougal appears to be
the most likely candidate for center,
but Willis and TIarIdson have also
been working at the position and all
three will no doubt be given chance
to show their metal Saturday against
Coach Arends ducklings. Phibba at
full and Kenfield, Morse, Hanscom
and Stechman at the halves with
Achenbach at quarter have compris-
ed the backfield. Other new men who
are showing up well are Stapleton,
recruit from North Dakota, and

OVER ENEMY CONTROL

Rome. Supt. 2T.---The situation in
Roumania, according to information
received here, has become alarming
for the Central Powers. The Ron-
manian peasants. made enthusiastic
by the victories of the Entente conn
tries, are beginning, to resist openly
the German and Austro-H Hungarian
military,
Revolts have occurred at num-
ber Of places and the Roumanian
government has sent agents to Berlin
and Vienna to obtain mitigation OF
the Austro-H Hungarian rule. The
Rumanian government is reported to
have said that IL it's request was re-
jected it will be unable to guarantee
the maintenance or order.
