PRESIDENT AND THE KNOCKERS


Woodrow Wilson journeyed, the other day,
into the very home of those who are most busily
engaged in throwing bricks at him and his leader
ship. He went to New York, where those Roose-
welt idoators, the New York Times, New York
Tribune and New York Sun, constantly fling heavy
editorials at his devoted head And in the most
polygot city in the world the president was every
where hailed with wild acclaim. The time of his
arrival was not specifically announced, but cheer
ing thousands met him at the railroad station
and other cheering thousands greeted him along
the busy highways of the metropolis, and wildly
enthusiastic audience compelled him to make a
felictous little three-sentence speech when he at
tended the theatre The plain people were anx-
ious to show him their love and devotion. They
were DESTROYS of showing their trust and belief in
him. It was their way of demonstrating what
they thought of the political bunkum that is writ
ten in New York and drooled in the United States
senate.
The president is very busy man, but it would
pay him every once in while to make a trip
to some big cty-north or east or south or west:
It would blow the cobwebs from his brain. 1t
would actually rest him. It would give the great
mass of Americans, who have no political or other
axe to grind, chance to pat him on the back, as
it were, and to tell him that the knockers knock
in vain.

NEWS A NECESSITY

+ Gen. Pershing's first communicates, just pub
lished, to befolowed up by similar bulletins daily,
constitute partial and on the whole, satisfac-
tory surrender to the public's demand for regular
and complete information about the activities OF
our troops abroad His messages not only tell, in
detail, what our soldiers in the trenches had been
doing during the preceding "a hours, but also
convey the agreeable news that over part of the
front, which, no doubt, shortly will be known as
American" our aviators were keeping busy sue
cessfully. A change of administration publicity
policies appears to be indicated by this conces-
sion in the matter Of daily bulletins, and augurs
well for an about-face in other directions as we'll
It seems quite evident that the war, from now
on will grow to be less and less anonymous, and
that our government, like those Of France and
England, will, wherever military considerations do
not demand secrecy, begin giving us the names
of Pershing's generals, Of division commanders
taking part in battles, and, above all, of the or
CARNATIONS distinguishing themselves in action.
Six lines of real news from the front, with names
of regiments, will do more to stir up enthusiasm
than reams Of synthetic write-ups from Wash
ington bureau.-New York Post.

It is safe to say that in the faces of the major
ity of people of Won Bellows age are written their
characters and careers. Scowls, brutal thoughts,
sensual thoughts finally make the facial map
Ugly disposition engraves the deepest lines. Think
selfshness and arrogance, and the chances are
that you'll get Won Below eyes, Think slaughter,
and you're very apt to acquire the beast mouth
and jaws of Won Below.
And, at this time, we're all thinking war, war,
war!
Is it not we'll that we think about our think
ing? There's no question but the great San Fran
cisco fire and earthquake affected the dispositions
of children of the coast regions recently born or
about to be born at that period. We don't want
future generation Of folks with the Won Below
face, do we?
We've got to slaughter Germans. We've got
to put our brain power on new or more thorough
methods and designs for slaughter. In pictures,
billboard signs, speeches and other ways we surely
are teaching the children to hate. Mature thought
and infantile thought are focusing upon slaugh-
ter. @
We will see much of the Won Below physiog-
nomy in our country unless we wisely apply the
representatives.. There are such. 1t is to keep clear
and bright the high purpose we have in the war
We sacrifice and fight and STAY for our imperilled
brothers. No mans face ever took on the mad
dog look through his service for others. We can
put into our pictures more scenes of heroic rescue
work and less of bombings and bayonettings. We
can put upon the billboards less of ITO He'll with
the Kaiser" and more of ITO the Rescue of Bel
gium!" A dollar in bonds, at Az per cent profit,
means dollar for slaughter, necessary but none
the less laughter. A dollar to the Red Cross
means dollar for succor or salvation of the
wounded, sick or needy. No man ever got the
Won Below eye of professional murderer through
looking upon sufferers in the character of good
Samaritan To buy is to perform with the hands.
To give is to act with the heart and our thoughts
which spring from our hearts have much to do
with shaping our faces.
If the Red Cross did nothing more, it does
much good, great good, in directing our thoughts
toward the altruistic features of this war.
Millions of our children are working and sac
riicing their little pleasures for thrift stamps.
Is it because they see the financial return in
1923? No, God bless them! it's because they
feel that they're helping. And we want the bless
ings Of service, not the seams of hatred, to ap-
pear in their faces in the years of their matur-
ity.
Let's think more and more strongly on the

THE M1NOT PLATFORM

Paragraph four Of the Minot platform is a
frank and open acknowledgement that certain far
reaching changes in the state government are
needed, and it is an effort to sift the wheat from
the chaff, throwing aside uncertain and untried
measures, and definitely advocating certain tried
and tested forms, which stand the test of good
sense and justice.
1t favors the grading Of grain on the milling
value Of wheat, and urges that prices be regu-
lated on the basis of cost of production to insure
the farmer fair profit. The farmer, in the past,
has been forced to take three CANDLES He had
to gamble first on his crop; second, in some mea-
sure, on the grade he would get; third, on the
price he would be paid. If these measures were
adopted, he would be forced to take but one gam
BILE, that of getting crop. If he gets that, ne
would be assured of a profit and if he doesn't get
it, no grades and no price would give him
profit.
The platform advocates nonpartisan ballot
not that the word is spelled without the capital
"N'-for all state, county and legislative offices.
Minnesota has experimental with the nonparti-
san ballot, and it has worked well there in the
brief time it has been tried.-Harvey Journal.

YOUR HEART AND YOUR FACE

Here's the face of Otto Won Below, the German
general who will probably lead the next drive
against civilization. 1t is typical militaristic
face. See this face anywhere, under any condi-
tions, and you could readily believe that it's wear
er had been educated for war, from the cradle up.
The cold heavy eyes clearly express brutality.
The heavy jaws and cruel mouth proclaim the
tenacity, selfishness and merciessness of the bull
dog. 1t is easy to believe that this man was born
for war and has thought war all his life. Still,
he is, perhaps not wholly to blame; for the rea-
son that he did not order his mode of life or line
of thought
