The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1918-03-13

In the Westbrook Sentinel we read that
one of the clergymen at that place has in
formed the Red Cross chapter that if they
received any more money from dances given
by the Red Gross association he would with
draw not only his support but all he can in
auence. The first item we real IN the next
paper we picked up was s'Vernon Castle the
professional dancer who had already served
two years as an aviator or The western front
was killed in an aeroplane accident in Texas
while saving a brother aviator's life" and we
thought that we would just as soon take our
chances in hell with a manly man like Castle
if he had to go there just because he danced
than to play harp with a pastor whose
viewpoint is so strained and warped that he
cannot see any good in anyone hut himself
and his followers. Greater love hath 40
man than this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends John 15:13.-Bcb Forest.
We've often wondered if it's true that whe
he wounded men come out of the trenches, the
ask if Red Cross aids are paid for by dane
money, and refuse them il they are. Stma woul
nave us think so.

UNLESS WE WAKE UP

WYE are going to lose this war. England
M muddled through two years but favor
w able circumstance kept her from pay
ing the supreme penalty. We shall not be so
favored The Eastern Front is gone; the West
ern Front can not be held indefinitely. Unless
peace by negotiation comes before summer, the
price of our unpreparedness and delay and our
easy-going tolerance of incompetency in high
places will be at least one hundred thousand of
boys sleeping the hero's sleep somewhere IN
France" A man that makes excuses for delays
that are avoidable should be instantly dismissed
and punished, for delays mean lives, and lives
are more precious than any mans profits or any
precedent or any ones tenure of office Any fam
ily that will not save should be strictly limited
to the nutritional requirements of its members
Any one who plots against or binders the coun-
try so that one effort goes wrong, should meet
the fate of the traitor and spy. Shall we be
tender with such and send our sons to die? We
are in a great war. All the rules have been brok-
en- by the enemy. It's our life or his. Let's
strip to the soul and get in.

PEACE HYMN OF UNITED STATES.
written in 1897

Thou who hast fattened with wealth and
steeled our arms with power,
Choose us thy sentinels, to watch from Free
doms signal tower
Give US that gentle spirit which enooles and
uplifts;
Teach us to use for righteousness thy fair I'M
perial gifts.
Thou who has kept continent for our dominion
N free,
And builded walls of patriot hearts for tending
either sea,
Declare to us that wisdom which shall measure
and divide
Between respect and dignity, and arrogance and
pride
Direct us, Lord, lest through our lapse thy right
eous purpose fail;
Let not the strength thou giveth US for evil pow
er avail;
But let our navies arbitrate, and send our
arms and might
To plead the cause and 'fend the laws of people
weak but right.
Make us, oh God, thy heralds swift to bear thy
peace and light
To shores where men in terror wrthe beneath
expressions blight;
But. Father, never let our shield be stained by
graspng lust,
Make thou our grand eulogium, GA nation that
is inst, -Doane Robinson

GET A JOB.

There probably is no class of people more pa
triotic than the farmers. Although confronted
with labor situation that is critical, they have
freely and without grumbling given their sons
for the armies; realizing that no group or class
however essential or important industrially, can
afford to be unrepresented on the field of battle
while the worlds liberties at stake. But
having periodically taken up their share of the
military burden, the farmers should have the
help and cooperation of all men, women anc
children in the cities and villages, who can pos
sibly be spared for agricultural labor. Get 8
Job on farm!-Dawson Sentinel
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1918-03-13

The thing that makes us the maddest these
days is to get about ton of stuff which IS
straight advertising matter for some reform or
Utopian scheme which means money for the pro-
moter, and then find the stuff labeled with Lib
erty to Print" The only liberty the Gazette
takes and we take it without its being asked
for or granted, is the liberty to dump the whole
lot into the waste basket. We open to those
things which are, directly or indirectly, making
it possible to the sooner win the war, but we
are never low on first class material with which
to fill our columns.

OTTO DISCOVERS AMERICA.

Otto Lempnen was called for the draft in
Koochching county. He was Finnlander. His
people came to this country few years ago to
escape from tyranny, and militarsm, and pow
erty America represented freedom, and bread
and butter-that was about all They settled IN
the timber in what is known as the Hay creek
neghborhood 1t has had the reputation of being
pro-German. The Finnish paper which the fam
lily took was anti Russian, anti-capitalist, anti
American Otto did not believe in the He
was opposed to the draft. He had his own place,
which he beginning to develop. He did not
see why he should not be let alone.
Just last week Otto suddenly woke up to the
fact that he must go. That he of the
contingent from this county. He was almost
stunned by the news. Why must he go leave his
farm? Why should he go and fight for America
For hours he paced the floor of the hall outside
the auditors door at the courthouse, like sur
prised and unhappy lion in a cage.
Saturday evening came. Otto sat down with the
rest of the eighty men to the banquet which was
rendered them in the schoolhouse. Such things as
they had to eat And the finest ladies of the city
waiting on them. The spirit was so different from
the neighborhood where he had been living. These
other young men eager to fight in this war.
These older men and women believed in the war
and wanted to do what they could to honor their
soldier boys. Otto's eyes were opened. The war
began to appear to him in a new light. In few
hours change wrought in him for which
most of US required days and weeks, when the
war first began to threaten our country. America
meant something more than freedom and bread
and butter He discovered that it means honor,
and self-defense, and friendness, and patriot
ism and service.
| The new convert so full of his discovery
that he could not wait to tell of it. Even while
the chairman was starting to introduce another
speaker Otto jumped his feet and began to
make speech. 1t was hard to understand the
words, but the substance of it was that it q
great thing that they could go and fight fol
America, that it was fine of the women to give
them this banquet, that they ought to express
their thanks That speech received more ap
plause than any which had been given.
| But still Otto was not satisfied. The fresh en-
thusiasm kept bubbling over. When, at the close
the chairman asked if there of thu
boys who would like to say word, after a mum
Der had spoken, the young convert was on hi
feet again. The sentiment and conviction wer
unmistakable, even if the English was broken
As he said in closing, it must be zone for all
and all for one."
i Yes, when Otto Lempinen shook hands witt
you for the fourth time that evening, you real
I lied that he had discovered America.-From tn
international Falls Press.

Germany's explanations do not explain. TIC
cut mans throat cannot be compensated by a
click of the heels and polite phrase. Pro-Germar
talk has been too dangerously like the following
At recess, playing in the yard,
Willie strangled Susie hard;
Susie died in dreadful pain.
Said teacher, "Dont do that again."
Willie killed his baby sister;
After while the teacher missed her.
Sister, dying, made some noise.
Teacher said, "Boys will be boys"

THE ATTITUDE OF BIG MEN.

THE present mental attitude of the man OF
whom l speak is typical of that of other
big-minded Americans He is neither an
optimist nor pessimist about the He is
simply a logician. He is courageous, determined,
hopeful, but neither satisfied nor oversangune.
He does not expect Edison or Henry Ford to win
the war for US. He awaits no miraculous inventions
such as we are taught to hope for by the Sun
day papers. He does not expect food to win the
war-or money-or any other single Item. He
hopes as profoundly as any human being can
hope that we shall WIN He feels that we must
win-that otherwise life will not be worth living.
He believes that win if we all bend ev-
cry effort to the task. But he is not cocksure.
He does not underrate Germany or boast vain
gloriously about America. He does not pirate of
what we think we are, and think we have, and
think we shall have, and think we shall do
I have heard many able men talk about the
war, but have yet to find one who is cocksure
The men who cocksure are not the big men.
Big men seek facts, face them, and reach concu-
sions not through their temperament but with
their brains And the facts as to American war
preparation in it's present stage are not such as
to warrant optimism Indeed, looking at life in
it's larger aspect, few things do warrant it-or
pessimism either. The pendulum swings. Your
down. When half the world is dark the other
half is light. In the blacklist hour of night we
have faith that dawn will ultimately come. The
weaker we are the more readily the tides of life
can lift us to extreme citation or drag us to ex-
treme despair
If Hamlet is unbalanced so also is Pollyanna
And war hath her Polyannas and her Hamlets
no less than peace The eagle, soaring over Nc
Mans Land and seeing much is silent, but the
caged-or Cabineted-canary twitters cheerful
ly-until the poisoned gases come.
We do not see things as they are through
blue glasses or yet through glasses that are
rose colored There should be no color in the
lens through which we look at Truth. Anc
Truth is the thing above all others upon which
we must now fix our gaze For it was never
truer than it is today that "The truth shall make
YOU free."-Julian Street in Saturday Evening
Post.
