Prepare to Secure Votes of the Soldiers

Mitchell. S d.. Aug 2l.-A stren-'
uous effort is being made by Adjutal +
General Morris and the county audi
tors thruout South Dakota to secure
before September the name and pre-
sent address Of every soldier boy who
is In the seruice. Every South Dako-
ia soldier of voting age is entitled to
vote and the state laws were so amend
ed at the special session held In March
that 1t Is easy to exercise their right
Of franchise. The only thing that
will prevent Is the fact that their ad-
dresses may not be known. Every re-
lative or friend Of a soldier boy il ask
ed to write or phone his pame and
present at once To the county auditor
in which the said soldier boy lived at
the time Of his going into the service,
When the soldier boy receives his bal
lot, all that is necessary Is to 90 be-
fore an officer and have him certify to
the soldier boys signature.

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan will begin Septem-
ber % and close October 10. The
result of the loan will be watched
with keen interest in Europe, not
only by our associates in the war
against the Teutonic powers but by
enemies. 1t will be regarded by
them as a measure IF the Ameri-
can peoples support of the war.
The germans know full well the
tremendous weight and signifi-
canoe of popular support of the
war, of the people at home backing
up the Army in the field. As the
loan succeeds our enemies will sor
row; as it falls short they will re-
joice. Every dollar subscribed
will help and encourage the Anne
rlcan soldiers and hurC ana depresS
the enemies of America.
The loan will be test of the
loyalty and willingness of the peo-
pie of the United States to make
sacrifices compared with the will
ingness of our soldiers to do their
part. There must be and will be
no failure by the people to mea-
sure up to the courage and devo-
ton of our men in Europe. Many
of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home Withhold our mo-
neya Shall we spare our dollars
while they spare not their very
lives9

rest of us in helping TO defeat

who will stick up for the crimes of
the huns is either a paid agent of

blame those Of German birth or
extrac ion for the crimes of the
huns, because there are thousands
of men of German blood in France
lighting the battles of freedom.
We do not classify anyone as pa
triot or traitor by his nationality
or extraction, but solely by his
acts. The german press of this
country is to blame for poisoning
the mind Of its readers and ought

Refuses to Play
National Air
son OF C. B. OSGOOD OBJECTS
TO SPIRIT OF THE STAR
SPANGLED BANNER

81 don't believe in war;" stated
Howard Osgood, conscientious
objector, who recently refused to
play the piano accompaniment
to the "Star Spangled Banner"
at the Mankato high school,
where he is a student. He asked
his teacher to have someone else
play the accompaniment and this
was done. This incident occurred
just prior to the spring vacation.
When asked today by The
Free Press why he would not
play the accompaniment Mr.. Os-
good replied that it was because
of the meaning of the song.
What lines do you obpect to ?"
he was asked. "Do you object to
those saying, "the Star Spangled
Banner, oh long may it wave,
DER the land of the free and the
home of the brave?"
He replied that he objected to
the song as a whole, but said
that he played america, be-
cause it gives special honor to
God.
"Do you refuse to play all music
that does not do special honor
to God?" he was asked.
He replied that he did not, and
that he did not object to playing
"The Star Spangled Banner" be-
cause it was the national anthem,
but because of is spirit. He
stated that he has always consid-
cred himself loyal citizen. Mr..
Osgood is the son of Rev. C. B.
Osgood, state evangelist for the
Christian Church.
Young Osgood is nineteen
years of age. He is active in
church and Sunday school mat
ters and is prominently identi-
fled with the efficiency conference
in the interest of Sunday school
work which will be held soon in
Mankato. He has occupied the
pulpit of the Christian church
in this city.
Notice has been served on Os-
good that he has been temporar-
lily suspended from the high
school. The school authorities do
not believe that the young man
stands for what the school rep
resents along patriotic lines. His
case will be definitely decided
later.
1t is said that recently Young
Osgood was asked what he would
