many will never win. "They can not
Ipass."
| If the Germans win this war, we
revert back to where the world was
1000 years before Christ. The world
will then be ruled by the nation hav-

are now fighting the German army
are the men who are actually fighting
for world ruled by law and not by
the sword. ..
A community drying plant is being
installed at Rockwell City and resi-
dents of that town and community
are invited to bring in their surplus
products and have them dried at the
rate of five cents per pound. This is
a good work and we wish we were
able to announce that drying plant
had been established in Denison.
Criticism is good, but gossip is hell.
! Any fool can find fault, but it re-
quires wise man to be critic. If
some who are criticizing the admin
istration would exert the same
amount of energy in helping to win
the war, they would accomplish some
thing worth while. There now, we
got that off our chest and feel bet

history of the United States when

fear for her future.

the use of the shooting stick.
The direct primary has not pro-
duced the political millennium, but it
has produced some valuable results.
1t is a weapon which the people will
never surrender to few self-constl-

petuation of self rather than public
welfare A glance in the direction
Iof those who oppose the direct prl-
mary should convince the plain peo-
pie" of it's usefulness. The boss hates
lit because it gives a loop hole which
they are not quite able to plug. What
ia shame!
In speaking of Herbert Hover, ma
tional food administrator, the Sac City
Bulletin (democratic) says 1.-THE dem
ocrats discovered him and gave him
his opportunity to secure permanent
place in the hearts of the American
people. But to be honest we must
