ANOTHER HUN BLUNDER

Long after the war has ceased the wanton de-
struction by Germany's military rulers, of cathe-
drals works Of art and other treasures Of anti
guilty, will be remembered against them. These
are objects which cannot be replaced these and
the lives of soldiers. The allies are striving to
protect as far as possible the great works Of past
artists andsmen Of genius, the souvenirs Of his
tory, bridging the daily life Of by-gone nations
with the present for the pleasure instruction and
profit Of mankind. In London the treasures of
the British museum, one Of the greatest collec-
Etions in the world, have been stored in subways.
Many Of these treasures Of art were from. Egypt.
The cathedrals and buildings in Italy exposed to
the fierce devastation of the Hun invaders have
also been protected from wanton destruction as
far as possible.
e By bombing the Rheims cathedral the Germans
antagonized the Mohammedans, possible allies Of
the Turks, in a holy war, for if the kaiser would
iwantonly desecrate houses of worship in Europe,
what would he do to the mosques and sanctuaries
Of India? German propaganda in India against
the allies has evidently been a failure. James

THE INDIAN AND
THE GOLD HILLS
Sioux Falls Press

We reprinted last month from the
Boston Christian Science Monitor an
editorial article discussing the Sioux
indian Black Hills claims which are
expected to come before congress for
consideration in the near future. In
that article occurred this sentence
with reference to the acquisition by
the white race of the Black Hills pOr
ton of the old Sioux reservation in
Dakota: "The action was without ex
cuse, without warrant, without the
shadow Of Justice" l

REPUDIATEs HIS OWN

The statement was made few days ago that
the socialist organization was preparing to raise
funds for the defense of the accused l. w. W.
men. Officials at the headquarters Of the party
deny. this, but admit that while the organization
as such is not collecting funds for this purpose,
individual members are doing so. The organiza-
ton cannot escape responsibility on such q plea,
for the trial now in progress is closely enough
related to the spirit Of the socialist party in the
United States to make this carry conviction that
the two organizations are proceeding along COM
mon line and for common purpose.
A few days ago A. @. Townley, president by
grace Of his own appointment Of the National Non
partisan league, said to congressional committee
that he did not approve Of certain disloyal state
ments attributed to Mr.. Lndbergh, the leagues
candidate for governor of Minnesota, but gave no
hint Of any wavering Of his support to the man
who made them. It will not do If Lindbergh
talked disloyalty and Townley continues to sup
port him, Towney is just as disloya as Lindbergh.
Then there was the case Of MIR. Townley him
self and his own followers, here and elsewhere.
For three years Mr.. Townley has been a promin-
ent public character. He had delivered addresses
|by the hundred. But in all that time and in all
that talk, if he has said word Of commentator
for American institutions and the American gov
ernment if he has ever referred in this period

ing in terms which would bring grain Of comfort
to the mother whose son has gone to the front,
Ia word which would resign her to the parting be-
cause the boy had gone to fight in a worthy cause
if Townley has uttered word of this character,
we never heard of it. And he has talked, consist
emily and persistently in such manner as is cal
culated to bring the United States government
and all that it stands for into contempt
In doing this Townley has not spoken the SEN
timents Of the great majority Of those who have
become members Of his organization. But these
members, thousands Of them, have listened and
kept silent. And that very silence, and the con-
tinuation of amicable relations between them and
the leader whose mouth has fairly frothed sedi-
ton, inevitably involves them in his offense One

WITH THE EDITORS
HE LIKED 1T

Speaking of the editorial war conference, tt
lmidon Press man, Nonpartisan, says:
It was rare pleasure to meet the state
officials at the capitol. Efficiency is
stamped on every person and act. There is
not so much hilarity about call at the
capitol as in the old time days, but one is
given to understand by everyone about the
building from janitor to governor that they
are there for business and nothing is too
!. trivial to get proper consideration, and the
democratic spirit prevalent makes fellow
feel as if he had stake in the welfare of
the state.
We enjoyed meeting again former neigh
bors from Pierce and McHenry counties in
the persons of State Treasurer Steen and
Justice A. M. Christianson of the supreme
court. They seem to be the same kindly
men they always have been in spite of their
exalted positions. We neglected to Dor
Il row money from them, but believe it could
have been done if we had thought of it in
time.
1t was profitable and pleasant trip

I. WAR FOR HUMANITY

i. War, in a. good cause is not the greatest
evil which nation can suffer. War is an
ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things;
the decayed and degraded state Of moral and
patriotic feeling which things nothing worth
a war is worse. When people are used as
mere human instruments for firing cannon or
thrusting bayonets, in the service for the sell
fish purposes of master, such war degrades
people war to protect other human
beings against tyrannical injustice; war to
give victory to their own ideas Of right and
good, and which is their own war, carried on
for an honest purpose by their free choice, is
often the means Of their regeneration. Anlan
who has nothing which he is willing to fight
for, nothing which he cares about more than
he does about his personal safety, is miser-
able creature who has no chance Of being free,
unless made and kept so by the exertions of
better men than himself. As long as justice
and injustice have not terminated their ever
renewing fight for ascendency in the affairs
SSof mankind, human beings must be willing,

Thus, by giving up the hills, which
they, could not mine, the Indians would
still have far more land than an equal
number of white men could possess by
occupation. They never hunted or
fished in the Black Hills, Delegate Kid
der told congress, they only held the
territory because they were in 1t and
had by treaty been permitted to re.
tain It: and they were determined
that the white man should not mine
the gold they could not harvest. Mt.
Kidder reminded congress that the In

The story is not one of aggression
against the Indians, it is thrilling

which determined the white men OF
Dakota to make an end of the Soiux

The men of this month are most

The men of this month are most
successful as contractors, builders,
engineers and lawyers and have great
executive ability: They r apt to
have stomach or intestinal trouble and
should be very careful in the selec-
ton of their food. They are inclined
to like strong drink and should watch
this taste most carefully, for in that
direction lies great danger for them.
The women born in May are apt to
study along that particular line re-
the contrary. They are inclined to dis
work and should carefully consider
this before marrying n man who
cannot afford to have the heavy work
of a kitchen done for them.
People born in May should learn
early in life that the mind is the real
master of the body and they should
learn to conquer evil thoughts and vile
impulses. They should bear with the
faults of others and acquire the habit
of tolerance. They should especially
learn to control their temper, other
wise serious complications may arise,
for once aroused, they are inclined to
60 to any extreme of violence.
They will profit by listening atten-
lively to the reasoning of others, for
they will thus succeed in getting the
benefit Of others experience and
views in life. The wives of unde-
veloped men born in May are often
unhappy, but their unhappiness gives
way to JOY once these men come under
the sway Of the mental and spiritual.
They should remember that mar
riage is meant to be a life contract,
therefore they should avoid firtations
at all times, and especially after mar
riage, for a step in the wrong direc-
ton may wreck their future. They
should marry with those born in Jan
uary, September or October. May is
most truly a lucky month. Women born
in May should admit frankly before
marriage their strong dislike for GER
tain employments and thus avoid be-
coming wives of men who desire to
make servants of them. People born
in May should regard May and July
as the most favorable months to be-
gin important undertakings and Fri
day is their lucky day. Women of
this month should wear a ring con-
tanning a moss agate or emerald and
the men should wear a scarf pin con-
tanning a stone of the same kind.
Those born in May will find that all
shades Of yellow, brown, red or black
are suited to their adornment as we'll
as proving most favorable to the
accomplishments of their desires.

seem to be possessed of extraordinary

cal sense seems unusually strong.
They are not as happy or success

of this month are usually skillful

quisite taste.
They are original and can plan as

month are inclined to be capricious
which is always a barrier to happy
married life. They are only happy and

they have exercised extreme care in
the selecting of their mates and both
