go down to defeat, buried by an
avalanche Of votes.
The time has come when we
must get back to the fundamen-
tai principles of our forefathers.
Old fashioned Americanism must
rule, and only those who believe
in those principles should be
elected to office.
We, as a nation, have a great
deal at stake. Whether a gov
eminent 81, by and for the peo-
pie can endure is now in the bal
ance. Every American must be
on guard, for we have subtle foes
who are seeking to undermine
the foundations of our govern
ment.
Beware of all 'isms," except
Americanism! Danger turks in
seemingly innocent propaganda.
These who go about preaching
doctrine OF unrest, of suspicion
and of class hatred are enemies
Of the country. They are as
much our foes as are the uni
formed soldiers of the kaiser.

THE RED CROSS AND POLITICS.

Certain politicians who have been
attempting to gain absolution for
acts Of disloyalty by taking collec-
lions for the Red Cross, have been
quite properly rebuked by the state
officers.
There is no check on such collect
ors, and no accounting has been
made for many Of these collections.
The Red Cross is not a political
organization. No faint Of politics
should be permitted to touch it.
On the other hand the state secre-
tary has been criticised for certain
political views he expressed several
months ago, in letter that has been
published by several eastern news
papers. The secretary's political
views are his own affair as long as
he does not mix them with his Red
Cross work. No charge is made that
he has used his Red Cross position
to advance his political views. When
such a charge is made and substan-
tiated, it will be time to demand a
new secretary and get one.

WINNING THE WAR BY
MIRACLES.

Hints OF new and wonderful inven-
tions that will win the war for Am
erica, are heard frequently these
days.
There was the story Of an aerial
torpedo that would travel 500 miles
through the air. and explode at a Civ
en- spot. Such a terrible weapon
would destroy the great centers OF
population in Germany, with no
danger to the Allies.
Henry Ford Is now turning out
scores OF his Eagles OF the Sea-,
which are 20O-foOt submarine chas-
ers. They are tiny steel destroyerz,
equipped with a 5-ineh gun and all
the submarine detecting devices.
The sea IL TO be dotted with these
fiivver destroysrs.
Another pet machine Of Mr.. Ford's
is the two-man tank which might be
called a "hlyver- tank. It's a minia-
turs tank for two men which could
dart along the lines almost as fast
as a soldier could run. It's armor
plate would protect the men inside
from anything but field artillery,
and the men armed with machine
guns would be worth a whole com
pany Of infantry in going over the
top. Thousands Of these little ma
chimes would break the German line.
but somehow, il would seem the
part Of wisdom to indulge in less
talk about these inventions and
more action. II they are practlcabIe.
their value win be lost BY the vide
publicity given them The chief
value % the English tank was il the
fact that it was a complete EurpriBs

NEWS AND COMMENT

A. A. Nelson Of Fargo, has written
a little book of verse which he calls
The Ruby Still" described as IAN
elegy on the world war. The volume
includes also many shorter poems,
and 1t was published by a Minne-
apolis publisher.
His foreword is interesting. Here
Is an excerpt from it: "As the author
was stirred to lamentation, remon-
STRANGE, appeal, sympathy, coincidence,
remorse. resentment, bitterness and
utter abandonment and despair; and
in turn to consolation in tears and
the pearls Of spiritual enunciation
contained in the Beatitudes and
finally to new inspiration in the re-
storative processes, so, believe. the
heart OF humankind is stirring and
striving in some adequate manner to
convey expressions of sympathy
along with affectionate ministering

such criticism is not evident, unless

That the financial rewards Of writ
ers are meagret is proven by the
comparatively modest estate left by
Richard Harding Davis. Mr.. Davis
was probably the most famous of
war correspondents. He was sue
cessful as a novelist. a short story
writer, and a playwright, yet he left
an estate Of but $4,000, according to
his viii just filed for probate in New
York. The bulk of this property
consisted Of his farm.
Yet Mr.. Davis was regarded as one
Of the few successful writer's. He
probably would have been classed
among the first twenty writers Of
America rated on their earning pow
ers. The number of men now living,
who have earned a fortune running
into six figures by their pens alone,
probably could be counted on the
fingers Of the two hands.

German newspapers don't make
the distinction between news and,
views, that American newspapers do.
Any American newspaper that lays
claims to being anything but a mere
party organ, such as a certain
delicious contemporary, tries to keep
its news columns unbiased, and re-
port impartially happenings which
may not square with its views. To
really achieve that is to achieve self
respect as a newspaper.
But the German editor intsrlar1s
his news reports with editorial COM
ment. Former Ambassador Gerard,
in his current serial Face to Face
With Kaiserism'' describes how it is
done. For example. if the German
were giving a report Of
one OF the Presidents addresses. the
editor might interject some such
remark as this: This
statement comes well from the old
hypOcrite whose country has been
supplying arms and ammunition to
the enemies OF Germany"
We pass the suggestion along. By
the use Of some such device as this
the party organs might bring them
selves to report happenings inimical
TO their propaganda.

Will CONSERVE
RUBBER GOODS
TIRE MAKERS WILL COOPERAT
TO HELP SHIPPERS

Asked regarding Government re-
/ strictons on the importation Of rubber
and the cndeavor Of tire manufac-
lurercs in coopration with the Govern
mcnt TO restrict the manufacture Of I'M
necessary tire sizes, Mr. j. c. Wes-
ton, Viye President and Director of
Sales of the United States Tire Com
pany said;
"The intention Of the Government
in the contr and restriction of the
Importation o. rubber is to conserve
~ ppnG space. ard the program that
has been laid before the manufac-
has been laid before the manufac-
turera Of rubber goods has won their
unanimous support for the War Trade
Board and the Shipping Board
"In addition, the manufacturers of
tires are heartily cooperating with
| the Government program for the even
tual elimination of unnecessary tires
sizes. This elimination will simplify
The problem for each user of the motor
car reducing his coat and making it
possible for him to secure the tire
size he needs, in good tires, more read
lily than the market and manufacture
ing conditions now permit.
"Plans for the withdrawal of GER
tain tire sizes from use by manufac-
tnrera of motor cars will not in any
way interfere with the manufacture
and distribution of the tires to users
who need those particular sizes at any
time"
Mr.. Weston was very insisted in his
statement that there is nothing in the
present or probable future situation
TO occasion the slightest apprehension
of a shortage of tires for legitimate
use.
"Ioweer, there never was time,
he said, when users Of motor cars
! could so well serve the nation as by
making the most of their cars in legi-
innate commercial and passenger SER
vice and refusing to hoard or unneces-
sarily anticipate their needs in. tires
or other motor car supplies"
Mr. Weston called attention to the
fact that the Government has not at the
present time imposed any restrictions
on the use of motor cars by the auto
mohilists Of the country. but has re-
| lied on the patriotism Of the car-own-
ors to exercise q proper discretion in
! the use of their vehicles, with a view
to conserving their cars and tires.
Mr.. Weston is of the opinion that the
motorists of the country can be trust
ed to cut down mere pleasure-riding
to minimum and to take every posi-
BILE step to save tires, oil and gasoline
