It was on his public record that
Senator Nelson's opponents, long IN
advance of the primaries, planned TO
assail him. They deliberately sought
to capitalize every shade OF dissatls-
faction arising from the war from
the draft act, The food administration
and war taxation and financing. Ev-
ery vote tinged with disloyalty was
modified against him. 1t was a
statewide conspiracy 20 retire from
the senate a sturdy American.
The result of Mondays primaries
must be agreeable to Senator Nelson
as it will be to his fellow-citlzens ev-
erywhere. AS the republican ca1dl-
date, indorsed by the Democrats, ne
received over five votes for every two
cast for the candidate of the disloyal-
lists. That is Minnesota's verdict,
and it will stand to Senator Nelson's
honor as the best tribute to his char
York World.

the newsboys get to running the Min

ploy A. J. R. and Charley Cheney?
1t is going to be sad old world if

Citizens Of Redwood Falls should
devou.ly give thanks three times
day that when the Scenic City gives
a celebration of any sort it is not
necessary for its guests to provide
themselves with gas masks. We
never appreciate the aridness of this
old town to the full extent of our
appreciative capabilities unless we
have been some place where they use
rye and barley for everything but
bread. We have been told that the
cup that cheers while it inebriates
has it's place, but that place is very
evidently not as feature of a public
gathering-it doesn't combine hap
PLY with women children, crowds
in general and automobiles.

IHE SONG OF THE SERPENT
(By Harry A. Earnshaw)

T AM the apostle of discomfort,
l am the sower of discord, the
harvest of which is despair ane

the evil counselor of the riotous.
/ toll, but only to undo the toll of
others; spin, but only cunning fairy
tales to deceive the unenlightened.
make the satisfied dissatisfied,
the we'll sick, and to the really sick l
administer poison instead of medi-
cine.
My slogan, platform, message and
gospel is Destruction. l would tear
down everything that exists, but /
have nothing to substitute for it.
Most of the ills l decry are imagi-
nary But for the few that are real
I have no remedy.
/ am for the German kaiser and his
Huns. | am for injustice, treachery,,
falsehood, duplicity, murder.
l am for the whisky barrel and the
gutter bum, the thug, the gunman
and the bomb-thrower.
am against every man who has a
job or a dollar. l am against every
man with brains and energy enough
to make living. My idea of paradise
is world without work.
l am anti-law, anti-government,
anti-America, anti-everything that
is honest, orderly and decent, AID for
the good of mankind.
I am against the church, the
school, against science, art, music,
Neutrality-suspicious. every thing or in
fiuence that makes for the progress
of the human race.
I am liar, cheat, an ignoramus,
menace to all the men, women and
children Of the world.
I can do no useful work, for l was
born without hands. I cannot walk
in open daylight among men, for l

Did we just imagine it or were
there really so many young men of
the draft age at the Springfield cele-
bratioa last Tuesday that they were
noticeable to others too? Over here
we can't get enough of the young
chaps for good live dance-and
over there they crowded the streets,
the dance hall, the merry go-round
and many other of the places Of
amusement, some of which the "lady
editor" did not enter for obvious rea-
sons. Were we merely seeing things
or were there really an awful lot of
then-we'd really like Billy Mailer
to tell US (and Billy will-there is no
doubt about thatD
