New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-04-03

There seems to be a slight. difference
between democracy in theory and in
practice. If any one had called on
Phil. Liesch short time ago and asked
him if he believed in democracy and
everything that term stands for, he
would have vociferously answered in
the affirmative. He had an opportUn-
ity the other day to put his fine ideas
about democracy into practice and
wofully fell down. AS soon as he got
wind of the news that some New Ulmites
we're booming Cap. Mueller for Mayor,
he called on "Cap." and Immediately
proceeded to tell him what he should
do. 1t is reported that Mr.. Liesch even
lost his temper and got profane. Don't
do that, Phil, it looks like autocracy
and you mustn't be guilty OF any thing
like that while fighting to make de-
mocracy safe for the world.

entered as Second Class Matter at the Post
ofsace at New Ulm. Minnesota

We could hardly believe our ears
xken wq were told the other day, that
there are some people in this community
who want to make a show of their
patriotism and their loyalty by buying
war savings and thrift stamps in quite
generous quantities at tie local bar ks
and then Immediately calling at the
oot-offica and giving notice of their
.Ssirs to cash them in. Under the rules,
ehsse stamps can be converted into
money by giving ten days notice. In
ether words there are some people WHO
are willing to surrender the use OF
heir money for say ten days to two
weeks for the purpose Of making the
outside world believe that trey are
srue and patriotic citizens OF our country.
II YOU, gentle reader, he been guilty
Of the~e sharp Yankee tricks, don't
sfend again. The government does
not want you to invest in any greater
amount of thee war stamps than you
zan conveniently handle. Don't pretend.
Don't make believe. Don't become a
hypocrite. In these trying days our
government needs men. And you will
never become a man, if you deceive
yourself, your neighbors, and try to
.isceive the government.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN PLANS

Owing to delayed information, in
ability to print cards and other con
ditions peculiar to the 9th Federal
Reserve District, the active drive for
the actual sale of the Third Liberty
Loan Bonds will not begin until April
18th, altho the campaign will begin
officially on April 9Th. The entire
loan will he for $3,O00,OO0,000, an
amount considerably less than had been
anticipated by the newspapers and
fnanciers, due to the expenditure OF
less money at home and tire loaning Of
less money to the allies.
TIE amount to be raised by the 9th
Federal Reserve District will amount
to 100000 and the quota for
Mime; ota will amount to ST., 100000
as compared with $74,157 800 for tie
second Loan and $43,938,750 for the
first loan. '..... - f.,
The states quota for the Second Loan
was $1O5,O00,0O0 and $37, 100000. more
was raised than was tie states quota.
At that only IA ger cent Of the District s
entire population subscribed for tie
Loan and A. r. Rogers, chairman Of
the. Third Liberty Loan, expects that
at least rs per cent of the people Of the
state will subscribe to this issue Of
bonds. The campaign will be short and
sharp and it is expected that a hard
drive for two or three days will do the
business. The chairman hopes that
every county will have it's quota raised
by April Goth and suggests that between
the 9th and tie 18th before the actual
drive begins, an intensive campaign Of
preparation be carried on.

pie and is willing to suffer with them if
suffering is necessary. The chances
are that those who have bought food
stuffs in excess of their present needs
did not consider the proposition from
the angle that we view it.
A concrete example Of what we would
call disloyalty was called to our at
tention the other day. A woman called
on a grocer and asked the grocer for
flour but did not want to buy it on the
$3.50 proposition as has been laid down
by the food administrator. She is very
prominent in Red Cross work and quite
prominent socially and would fit ad-
mirably into any exclusive set where
money and not brains are the only
criterion of eligibility. She actually
had the nerve to ask the grocer to make
an exception in her case and give her
the flour without the necessity Of pur-
chasing tie flour substitutes. She was
willing to put the grocer in bad and
place him in a position where he might
lose his license and be forced out OF
business just because she felt herself
above the common people. This same
woman stated at social that she could
not understand how any one would be
so extravaganza to have frosting on the
cake and she showed her own willingness
to help along in the conservation of food
by helping herself to two generous
helpings of sugar to sweeten her coffee.
So that no one may be unjustly accused
in our community we wish to state that
the party we have in mind does not
live in New Ulm, nor does she live
within radius of fifteen miles from our
fair but DETAINED city.

The fact that this citizen or that
citizen is decried as disloyal does not
necessarily make him so. AS a rule
every one who speaks Of his neighbor
as disloyal citizen calls him such,
based upon what he thinks constitutes
loyalty. It is no. enough, for a person
TO say he is loyal to make him so. He
must STOW by lis every act that he is

Open Forum

According to Mr.. Liesch,. the Non
Partisan League is the only party with
OBJECTIONS in their ranks. What was
is that caused tie Republican County
Convention at, Sleepy Eye some years
ago to GUST Phil as chairman? Wasn't
that some fireworks? In regard to the
alleged fixing of Polkow's nomination
before the convention, nothing was in
evidence at the convention. 1t seems
the only thing that is bothering Phil,
is because he was not there to tell us
whom to nominate.
The re: olutions adopted at the Min
nesota District Editorial association
certainly form a wonderful document.
The resolutions refer to A. C. Townley
and his aids and his kept press whom
the editors claim intimidate the publish
ers of this state and their patrons, both
subscribers and advertisers, by threats
of boycott and OTHER unfair methods.
Do you remember the article you had
in your Journal some months ago, threat
ening subscribers and advertisers with
prosecution if they discontinued pat
ronizing your papers?
TIE editors further pledge tier
constant and earnest efforts in behalf
Of any and all movements for the adj
vantage of the farmers of our state.
"Thank you, Editors" suggest that
the majority of you go out on the farm
for ten years, and do the work on farm
necessary to support family and pay
interest. If you are studiously inclined,
after ten years on the farm, your earnest
efforts in behalf of all movements for
the advantage of tie farmers may be
appreciated.
Leave it to the farmers, they know
what they want. You are not in a
position to know. We never NEEDLE
with your newspaper business, and you
have no business to NEEDLE with ours.

"KEPT LADIES" OF THE PRESS

Thirty-fve years ago John Swim
ton, managing editor of the New York
Sun and the foremost working journalist
of that time, was given banquet by
fellow craftsmen, or rather, partners in
crime. Asked to respond to tie toast,
s'The Independent Press,'' Mr.. Swinton
astonished his hosts with this declara-
ton:
"Tkere is no such thing in America
as an independent press, unless it is in
the country towns.
"You know it and know it. There
is rot one of you WHO dares to write
his honest opinions, and if you did you
know beforehand that it would never
appear in print.
? II am paid $3.50 a week for keeping
my honest opinions. out OF the paper
I am connected with - others Of you
are paid similar salaries for similar
things 49, and any of you who would be
so foolish as to write his honest opinions
would be out on the streets looking for
another job. t-..,
"The business of the New York
journalist is to destroy TIE truth, to lie
outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at
the feet Of Mammon, and to sell his
race and his country for his daily bread.
''You know this and I know it, and
what folly is this to be toasting an
independent Press
''We are the tools and vassals of
rich men behind tie scenes. We are
tie jumping jacks; they pull the strings
and we dance. Our talents, our posi-
bilities and our lives are all the property
of other men. We are intellectual
prostitutes.
