SnCIALIST CHANGE on MEART.


American Socialist leaders are try
ing hard to eXtricate their party from
its present embarrassing position. At
a recent meeting in New York, A. w
Kicker, former publisher of the Appeal
to Reason and now editor of Pear
sons Magazine. appealed to his breth-
rem TO "restate their war views"
The consequences of the party's
anti-war platform adopted at St.
Louis last year have been, as he ad-
mits. disastrous The Socialists did
not succeed in stopping the war; they
invited the passage of censorship laws
which have virtually put the Socialist
press out of business; and their hos
tile attitude toward the government
has resulted in their being linked up
with the anarchists. the 1. W. W. and
the pro-Germans."
This was inevitable, he admits. No
government. not even Socialist gov
eminent, would tolerate such opposi-
ton"
As for himself, he has seen new
light He is now convinced that the
German government went TO war part
" for conquest and partly TO prevent
it's overthrow by its own people. At
Brest-Litocsk, in the Ukraine, in Fin
land. its brutal purpose has been reg
istered Enthusiastically The military,
not the civil power. is the master in
Germany The Austrian emperor dis

pie.
Il have come to believe" concludes
Mr. Kicker. that it is now the SUI
preme task of the world outside of
Germany TO bend every energy and
make every conceivable sacrifice to
the end that the German dream of
conquest be brought to naughL
shall urge that for the time being we
abandon our policy of aloofness and
join with the President of the United
States on the basis of his war aims
and peace terms"
This is progress indeed. though in q
reverse direction. The "restatement
Of the Socialist position" reminds one
of Hindenburg's celebrated victorious
retreat"
No one need discourage this death
bed repentance. Let those Socialists

UP TO THE FARMERS.

The new Farmers Provost at New
Rockford puts the matter of advertis-
ing and patronage squarely up to the
farmer. Not only those who own
shares of stock in the newspaper but
every farmer in that vicinity.
The paper asks them to pay strict
attention to the advertising columns
of the Farmers Provost and to deal
only with those merchants who ad-
vertise in the Farmers Provost.
This is rather a strong measure to
advocate and yet if followed out, the
80 per cent of the population Of this
state who are farmers, very nearly
will give those merchants who think
these farmers papers are a joke,
something to think about in busi-
ness way.
The Tribune does not believe in
harsh measures, nor believes in in
citing or fostering class feeling be-
tween farmer and merchant. They
are necessary to each other as much
as yeast and bread neither will rise
without the aid of the other though
the farmer can get along without the
local merchant, but not the merchant
without the farmer. Harmony be-
tween the two classes is better, how
ever, than discord. -
And yet! There are merchants in
this town who have not had so much
as an inch of advertising in the Tri-
bune since the farmers owned it and
yet are trying to make the farmer be-
lieve that they are their best friends
so long as they can get their busi-
ness. There are others who claim the
reason they do not advertise is on ac-
count of raise in advertising rates
of about 10 per cent, and yet they
have raised their goods to- the pur-
chaser as high as hundred per cent
and expect them to pay the raise
without a murmur.
This is not reciprocity this is not
reasonable. It is strictly 'tup to the
farmer" whether he wants his enter
prise to be a losing proposition or
ot.-McHenry Tribune.

Swindlers Are Busy.
The following statement is author
lied by the War Department: Rela-
tives and friends Of several soldiers
in army camps have been victimized
by swindlers who wired or wrote for
funds under soldiers names. In each
instance it was requested that money
be sent by wire waving identification,
or by mail to general delivery, the
general explanation being that the SOL
dier had been discharged and would
have no way Of securing identifica-
tion, nor of getting mail addressed
to his company. The following is a
typical telegram, sent to the father
of soldier in a southern camp:
"Have been discharged. Coming
home. Going to Atlanta through
country tonight. Please wire me $50
at Atlanta SO may pay for uniform
and come home direct. Waive iden-
tification, as I am not known in At
lanta. Wire cash quick, so I can get
it tomorrow morning." Before being
complied with, any request for money
to be sent under such conditions should
be verified by letter or telegram to
the commanding officer Of the camp
in which the man whose name is sign
ed to the request is stationed.

Inspecting of Methods of ~
Classification. -
Between forty and fifty local boards
will be investigated as to their meth
DDS Of classifying the registrants in
their respective districts. The boards
are all Of one mind as to the correct
ness of their classification. The diff
ference existing in the percentage of
class L, men is for the most part ex-
planned by stating that the men grant
ed deferred classification were so
classified owing to physical defects. A
communication was received by the
adjutant general from a man living
in district where the low percentage
of men in class was especially mark
ed, who stated that in his opinion de-
ferred classification had been grant
ed to some registrants on account of
the inspectors. The latter will then
will be taken up and threshed out by
their nationality. All such matters
file reports with the adjutant general
together with recommendations as to
what action should be taken. The
final decision Of procedure will be up
to Provost General Crowder.

Why should this man defy the
arts, the man-made arts that pass

shields and hides them in the vault
of mind, lest times relentless even

band of precedent that mortal man
has ever built on which in tempest
time to stand and lay in waste as
dross and rust, this earthly monster
built of dust.
What arts are these that cannot
bear the scrutiny of higher sight
from higher planes of life, that can
not stand the piercing glare of lumi-
mating truth; what human thoughts,
what human rules that shrink be-
fore the light? True arts and wis

upon the path of trustfulness and
faith; that puts the flash into his eye
and smile upon his face; that gives
him order to embark upon his whole
