AN AuDlToRiuM FOR WATER

that WATERFOWL needs an auditorium
the meetings last Thursday afternoon
and evening amply demonstrated the
almost necessity therefor. People
were turned away by the core. the

But, notwithstanding this great

to normal conditions.

TURN THE JAckAssEs OUT.

II we were to be privileged to ex-
press IN offhand opinion for what is
may be worth, we should say that the
good people OF Madison. in the county
If Lake and the state of South Da,
kota, have a jackass for mayor.
This distinguished son Of toil,-al-
though for the life Of us we cannot at
this moment recount any especial toll
that he ever worked at,-has denied
the Nonpartisan League members the
privilege OF holding a public meeting
little city.
The speaker of-the day was none
other than Mr.. Thomson, who ad-
dressed a large audience in Water
town not long ago and whose patriotic
utterances received the commentator
of his auditors.
1t is to be regretted that South Da-
kota,-or, perhaps we should say, a
little patch in South Dakota,-is try
ing to emulate the example of the self
constituted guardians of the public
conscience in Minnesota. We think
it is safely within the bounds of truth
10 suggest that for every meeting
which South Dakota authorities sup
press or squelch from n hundred to
one thousand votes are made for the
Nonpartisan League.
The people of Lake county, run
ming back SO far as our memory
serves us, have always shown the
true American spirit. AT any rate,
we fail to recall an instance wherein
they have been derelict of duty, or
have failed to do their full share in
the upbuilding of the county, the
state an dthe nation. 1t is an insult
20 their intelligence for a man occupy
ing the position OF mayor to issue
what amounts to a public proclama
ton to suppress a meeting of farmers
merely because he happened to have
seen half a dozen Strangers in town
which seems to be his explanation
for his action.
The Minneapolis Journal paper
that assuredly has shown no special
liking for the League,-has suggested,
let the meetings proceed. If anybody,
by word or action, or otherwise, shows
himself TO be other than a true Am
erican, arrest him on the spot, but let
us not become panic-stricken every
time we get a glimpse of a man in
overalls or with a weeks growth of
whiskers On his face.
The examples of Watertown, Aber-
deem, Sioux aF1ls, and many other
South Dakota cities, might be cited
for the benefit of the gentleman who
assumes to hold the Lake county con-
science in the hollow Of his hand.
Waterfowl greeted Mr.. Thomson
with a packed house. Even the OPP
ponents Of the League raised no OBJ
whatever from the standpoint
of patriotism to the speakers re-
If such intelligent communities as
Lake county are not going to be per
mitted the right of public assembly
and public discussion of matters of
vital interest to the country at large
and the state in particular. it is as
suredly an opportune time for reyiy-
ing that old political slogan, which
many people may recall, about tuTninsf
the rascals out so paraphrased as to
read: Turn the jackasses out.:'

Newspapers and the War

From the JohnstoWn Democrat
we learn that a New York draft
board has held that newspaper
is an industry essential to the sue
cessful prosecution of the war and
that a man engaged in getting out
a newspaper is entitled to exemp-
ton on the ground that he is nee
essary assistant. The Democrat
finds in this practically the only
recognition that newspapers have
had in connection with the war.
They have been called on to give
their space worth millions in the
aggregate to war publicity and
have done so without pay. The
Democrat proceeds:
"We do not read that the mer-
chant has been asked to give goods
from his shelves. We have heard
of no manufacturer whose ma
chimes or tools have been appro-
priated or requisitioned without
recompense. Professional m n
whose services have been required
have been paid salaries. The rail
roads have rendered no free SER
vice to the government as far as
known. Has the government, need
ed cloth? 1t has gone into the
market and bought it from the
manufacturer. Has it needed Beef
and pork and mutton? 1t has
gone into the market and paid the
packers an agreed price, Has it
wanted shoes? 1t has gone into
the market and paid for them on
an agreed basis. Has it wanted
any Of the thousand things re-
CURED in equipping a great fight
ing force on land and sea? 1t has
entered the markets of the coun-
try and bought the things wanted.
Has it wanted publicity? Yes ;
it has wanted great deal of pub
licity. And it has had publicity
in a measure perhaps before I'M
equalled in all the tides of time.
For never before since history be-
gan to be recorded has publicity
played so large part in war as it
has done in this one in which we
are now determined participants y
We take it for granted that the

Democrat is not complaining and,
so far as we know, no newspaper
has complained because of the de-
mands that have been made on 1t.
The unthinking man may assume
that the papers have given all this
publicity without any expense to
them, but, in the aggregate, the ac-
tual cost to them has been many
hundred thousand dollars.
But the newspapers have sub
mitted to all this cheerfully and
even enthusiastically, and we be-
lieve we represent their feelings
when we say we do not wish it
were different. We would not have
the papers charge for the space the
government needs. 1t is their Of
fering of patriotism, or rather a
part of it, for they have proven
their patriotism in many other
ways.
But what we do wish is that
other classes should not be per-
mitted to hold up the government.
1t is all right to uphold the govern
ment, but it is entirely wrong to
hold up the government.
In nearly every line CT activity,
the necessities of the nation have
furnished the opportunity for ex-
tortion--extortion on the govern
ment, on its soldiers and on its
citizens. Labor embraces the OPP
portunity to demand higher wages
and capital takes advantage of
conditions to secure excessive
profits The newspapers, bearing
all the burdens of the war that
others bear, are giving in addition
publicity that is supposed to be
needed. We are proud Of the diff
ference and would not have the
conduct of the papers change,
But we would like to see the
profiteers brought to taw.-Times-

LOCAL RED CROSS CHAPTER
Makes Report and Appeals for
Workers

The most of the winter visitors
have returned to their northern
homes, and this robs the Red Cross
rooms of some faithful and eff
ficient workers.
Punta Gorda has been asked to
furnish 1900 gauze surgical dress
ings a month and, unless some of
our townswomen come to the res
cue, it will not be possible for this
chapter to meet its allotment. Up
to the present time, we have been
able to do what has been asked of
us, but now we need more help.
Besides the gauze dressings, we
have three bolts of Canton flannel
to make up into hospital shirts,
and those ladies who cannot get
away from home to help with the
gauze work, can take the shirts to
their homes to make up. They
are already cut to a perfect pat
tern and are no trouble for an ex-
perienced sewer to make.
Please make a pledge to your
self to do a certain amount Of Red
Cross work every week and make
a supreme effort to keep this
pledge. The fighting forces in the
war zone are making supreme eff
fort to protect you and your
home. Can you do less than to
give few hours each week, in a
comfortable place, to make the
dressings and garments that will
now be called for by the million?
Show your patriotism and appre-
citation Of what our boys are do
ing for you by helping us to meet
our allotment.
Our auxiliaries in Fort Ogden,
Moore Haven and Citrus Center
have given loyal support. The
one in Moore Haven runs half
column of interesting matter per-
tanning to their work in their To-
cal newspaper, and it is always
filled with most readable stuff.

Death of Mrs. Rhoades

After an illness of three weeks,
Mrs. Jenetta Rhoades, the devoted
wife of Harry H. Rhoades,
breathed her last just before day
Saturday morning. She died with
out pain. During her illness, she
received the best medical atten-
ton and the unremitting care of
her husband, who was aided by a
good nurse. The cause of her
death was an unusual type of gan
CREME that started in her mouth
and was apparently caused by
defective tooth. She was about
Sc years old. Her maiden name
was Jenetta Myers. She had been
faithful member of the Metho-
dist church for many years. She
was born in Buffalo, N. Y, and
was reared in Philadelphia. On
Aug. 9th, 1893, she was married in
Camden, N. j., to Harry I'll.
Rhoades, to whom she proved a
model wife. In her loss, he is sad
/ y bereaved, and he has the heart
felt sympathy of many friends.
Sympathizing neighbors, by
whom the deceased was highly eS-
teemed, placed many lovely flow
ers on the casket containing her
body. She was buried Saturday
afternoon in Pineapple River Gem
etery, the services being conduct
ed by Rev. D. A. Cole, pastor of
the Methodist church. Many sor-
rowing friends attended these last
sad rites.

mail when | am coming from

and pennies to buy stamps to put
on them. When | come to the
door, there is always lot OF peo-
pie standing in it and they won t
get out of the way for a little girl
like me. / have to wait a long
time for people to get out of the
door and let me in so that | can

so impolite to a little girl. If |
was 16 or II years old and pretty,
they wouldn' t do it. Maybe no.
body cares for a little girl, and |
think that is not right. | try to
be good and l wish people would
be good to me.
You printed in your paper last
year a piece about people being
polite on the streets. | think you
said every body ought to say
"good morning" to every body on
the streets. ] always do it, but
there s many people that don IT say
anything. / wish you would print
that piece again and tell every
body that they must say good
morning"
And please, Mr.. Jordan, ask Mr.
Rountree to tell the people not to
stand in the door at the depot.
My class is going to give a pic
mic when school is out, and | want
Mr. Jordan and Mr.. Harry Dreg-
gors to come to it. They are the
politest men in town to little girls
and every body.

ty as your health officer to insist
upon it, and / must ask your city
council to cooperate in this mat
ter. | am anxious that Punta Cor
da be on the map as a clean town
and good for people to live in.
would recommend that your
citizens and business men CO.
operate with you in cleaning up
their back yards as well as their
front by burning all waste, such as
papers, brush and trash, thereby,
saving the cost of your wagon in
hauling. Let everyone see to it
that their own place is kept clean
every day.
AS to the septic tank for your
privies, | hope you will not put
this important matter off longer
Get them started in the next week.
If your local men will not build
them for IL or Ia dollars, | can
furnish a man that will do the
work for you, and you can settle
with your man by the week or
month, say so per cent every two
weeks Of work completed. In that
way you can make collections and
pay off without any outlay of mon
ey, for doubtless much of the work
will be paid for when completed.
The State Board of Health will
help you in any and every way
possible. Get busy. Let me
know and [ will be on hand to
help: Yours for better condi-
tons.

WHAT HAPPENED TO
RAILIN

BALLIN.
Whether through the inscrutable
decree Of God or the wilful design
of man, the one person in all the
Teutonic lands who might have
helped the crushed German nation
to rehabilitate it's last commerce and
credit is dead. The same news dis
patches that conveyed to the world
the delightful news Of the complete
overthrow Of the Kaiser contained
the sad information of the sudden
demise Of Albert Balm.
Just what caused Ballin's death
may perhaps never be known. But
it is certainly a significant COIN
cidence-if it be a coincidence
that the one powerful man who had
stood close to the Kaiser and who,
because of his unblinded and un-
biased view and vision, strongly OPP
posed the ruthless warfare Of Ger
many, should have died suddenly at
the exact moment when his warn
ings to his fellow-countrymen- re-
ceived their final and most convinc-
ing justification. What might well
have happened to him? Did he die
of a broken heart? Was it foul
play? The adequate rewards and
the full recognition which his genius
and his achievements deserved had
been withheld from him because of
his refusal to renounce Judaism even
while he had been establishing a
fourishing marine and commerce
for his country. What might not
have happened to him when he,
steadfast in the traditions of his race
and truly loyal to the best interests
of his country and nation, stoutly
refused to follow blindly the dictates
Of brutality and inhumanity and to
help in Fastening the destruction OF
his countryside country that he had
been largely instrumental in making
rich and strong and capable of
worthy aims and aspirations DIR

CHANUKAH.

N14x11N - Nall
Beginning with next Thursday
evening, November 18th, the Fes-
tival of Chanukah, which means
Rehabilitation" will be celebrated in
Jewish homes throughout the world.
After the lapse of almost 1000 years
the Jews still celebrate the defeat of
the great army of Antiochus, the
mailman, who invaded Palestine to
spread the spurious "Kultur" of
Syria. This much heralded "Kul-
tur" consisted of the worship of the
Statue of Jupiter, practice that
offended the intelligence Of the Jews,
and the indulgence in bacchanalian
orgies that disguised the moral SEN
sibilities of the stern old Puritans
of Judea. Their mission was not
successful, although they robbed and
killed the defenseless population and
tried hard to terrorize the inhabi-
tants of Judea who opposed their
will. The Jewish people organized
an army under the leadership of the
Maccabean family. Mattathias, the
father, and his five sons. These
champions of right waged a war Of
many years in defense of religious
liberty. God was on their side and
they triumphed.
The intimate story of the wars
given in the Books of the Maccabees
shows these men to have been war
riors of no mean proves. Many
precedents were established by them.
One was the righteousness of self
defense on the Sabbath. When
Judas Maccabeus at the close of the
third year of conflict recaptured
jerusalem, he cleansed the Temple,
threw out the heather statues and
rededicated the altar to the worship
Of the One God. This took place
on the 18th day of the Hebrew
month Kislev and the anniversary
is now celebrated as the Feast of
Rehabilitation. A curious feature of
the festival is found in the practice
of lighting one candle on the first
evening, two on the second, three
on the third, etc. until the. eighth
day is reached. This is based upon
an incident in the capture of Jeru-
salem relating to legendary cruise

There is no end to the number of
distinguished characters that we
Jews have given to the world. In
those palmy days when P T. Barn
UNI was raking in the shekels of the
suckers that, according to him, were
born every minute, certain midget
whom the great circus man styled
admiral Dot, was one of his most
curious exhibits. The death of this
admiral is now reported, and we
learn that his real name was
Leopold Kahn.
