Dear Sirs: Enclosed find three dol
lars, for which please extend my sub
scription to the Review for two years
from date of expiration.
We could hardly get along without
getting this paper, and it seems al
most like having one of our old Craw-
ford county friends come to visit us
every Friday when we get it. l think
it is good thing you publish this in
two sections, for otherwise l don't
know how the Mrs. and could both
read 1t at the same time, which is gen
orally the case when it comes.

while Governor Harding has not been
able to please everybody, all the time,
he is rounding out an entirely efficient
and generally acceptable administra-

looking forward to the continued rise
and usefulness of Mr.. Harding In the
service of the state and nation" 4

wild beasts. They will indeed often
hnd their interest in keeping their
treaties, and may even spare the en-.

crush the Revolution of 1848, and
then, when he had these states at his
mercy, quietly marched out again
without selling them.
There is nothing particularly orig
tnal in this doctrine of the relation of
states to each other. Savages usually
act upon it without scruple. There are
men in every country still protesting
1t today. But Christian civilization
was gradually outgrowing it, in Ger.

OF having done more than any other
man to make it prevail in his native

Nietzsche and Treitschke differ
widely, as we see, in many of their
views. The former breaches a pure

individuals called a state may use any
means whatever to increase their pow.

then, as between one nation and an
other, might makes right.
There can be no trust between ma.

Mellen Remains Dry"

Mellen will be dry for another
year according to decision handed
down late Friday afternoon by
Circuit Court Judge Risjord, in the
Mellen wet and dry case.
The canvassing board at Mellen
found that the vets had carried the
election by one vote. A contest was
instituted by the drys and the mem
bers of the city council by vote to
2 upheld the decision of the can
vassing board. The matter was then
appealed to circuit court, where the
validity of the proper notice and
one ballot was questioned
During the trial of the action Judge
Risjord discovered that there were
eight ballots not endorsed in any
manner by the ballot clerks. Six
ballots were for the vets and two
for the drys. There was no mark
of any kind made upon the ballots
by the clerks and under the law
the ballots were absolutely illegal
In his decision judge Kisjord
finds that the proper legal notice
was not given ten days before the
election, as required by law and
that therefore the election was void,
The decision finds that for license
there were 149 legal votes cas-, and
that the number Of legal votes regis
tered against license was 153, giving
the drys a majority Of 4 votes
which means that Mellen will re-
main in the dry column unless the
matter should be taken to the SUI

YOUNG MEN MUST
REGISTER NEXT WEDNESDAY.
All Those Who Became of Age Since
Last Registration Day Must
Sign Up.

On June S, 1917, registration of
men between the ages of 21 aud 81
for military duty was held through
out the country. All those who
had attained the age of 21 on or be
fore that date were compelled to
register. Since then many young
men have become of age and now
Uncle Sam says they must be reg
istered and classified that he may
be able to call them for military
service. This registration will be
held next Wednesday, June S, just
year since the last registration.
All those in Iron county who are
affected by the recent order must
present themselves at the county
clerk Office. where the registra-
ton for the entire county will be
conducted by the clerk of the local
draft board. There being but a
small number of men in the county
who have reached their majority
since last registration day it was
decided to have the registration at
a central point in the county rather
than in the several election pre-
cincts as was done last year Train
connections are such that the young
men in outlying districts can come
to the court house oil registration
day and after they have signed up
return the same day. Those affect
ed by the order will not be notified
individually but must voluntarily
present themselves at the office of
the local board, it being taken for
granted that they are aware of the
orders of the government. Aliens
of all nationalities coming within
the order must register.
Following the registration an
other lottery will be necessary to
determine the liability of service of
the new registrants. The drawing
will be held at Washington soon
after the registration.

do in the War Savings campaign
what it has so gloriously accom-
plished in all war work and drives
of the past.
Mr.. Riley declared that the money
from the Third Liberty Loan and
Federal Income tax, payable in
June, has already been spent and
that until the next Liberty Loan
the Government has no other avail
able revenue other than War Saw
ings and short term certificates car
ried through the banks. The pres
ent expenses of the Government
must be met by continual contri-
buttons by the public he said.
1t is not a big task, if we go
after it right" he said, Wiscon-
sin must support this pledge cam
paign. 1t is so we'll done no citizen
should be absolved from saving a
certain amount each week, and IN
vesting it in War Savings. The
Government is willing - rely upon
the pledge of every citizen to pay
the amount for which he pledges
himself"
The obligation placed upon
everyone in times of war is the
great obligation every man and
woman owes, except the obligation
they owe to their God. There is
not a man, woman or child above
eight years who can not pledge
something each week to his Gov.
ernment. The order which is Civ
en- them to do this is as binding or
their conscience as is the ordel
given to the soldier in the trench
es."

The moral and religious ideas of
the Germany of today have been
shaped to a remarkable extent by two
Germans of the last generation
Friedrich Nietzsche and Hermann Won
Treitschke. To know what seed they
sowed is TO understand much of the
spirit which has produced this war.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a poet who
wrote prose, much of it in the manner
of the Old Testamen but in a very
different spirit He starts by assum-
ing that belief in God and in a fu-
ture life is as absurd for a grown man
as belief in Santa Claus. and by re-
tecting as not merely false but dan
gerOus the teachings of Christianity
based upon the Golden Rule.
What, then, is the rule by which
man should live? He answers by di-
viding man into two great classes, the
slaves" (or the 'herd'), and the
masters. The former are the over
whelming majority of human beings
the plain people. The latter are
select few, the highly gifted. The for
mer are born to be ruled, the latter to
rule. For the former the old Chris
tian morality of sympathy and love
may be good enough. They are of no
account anyway, and what they do or
do not do Is matter of no importance.
The masters, on the other hand, are
above all ordinary standards of right
and wrong. They may commit any
cruelty, permit themselves any breach
OF faith, treachery, or any other crime,
If these are needed to gain and keep
power over the herd" For the
higher man" engaged in bringing his
fellOwmen under the whip of his will
everything is allowed"
The popularity of Nietzsche's doc
trlnes in Germany is enormous. We
can easily see how they would play
into the hands of the governing class,
each member of which can think of
himself as by right a master" and
as such relieved Of all moral obliga-
uons 10 the herd" beneath him. OF
late the herd" have begun to be in
fected with them also, shaping them,
OF course. so as not to interfere with
individual self-respect. Kuno Francke,
Professor of German at Harvard Uni
Versity, wrote some years ago, "In
moral theory the average German of
today Is consciously or not follower
OF Nietzsche." And certainly Metz
sche, at the lowest calculation. has in
he course of a single generation in
4uenced the German people as no Eng
iish writer In any century has infiu-
enced the beliefs of the English
speaking world.
The second prophet of modern Ger
many has a very different messagel
Nietzsche is interested only in the in
dividual, the exceptionally gifted in
dlyidual, of course. On the other hand
Treitschke, his rival for favor in mod
ern Germany, cares solely for the
State. The individual is under obli-
e4tlon to obey without question the
Will Of the State. That is what he
