Indian Song by w. r. Spears)
They say the White Man good to me,
He mas never been so; He has taken my
Timber and land, and left me pillow and
Hoe He has driven the deer from the forest,
The elk long since all gone, the
Rabbits and cartridges from the valleys and
Hills have fed
CHORUS
Let me die without sigh sorrow,
Beat loudly the tom tom above me,
Sing slowly the Indian death chant.
He came with books and teacher
I could read long before the White Man came;
I learned from the streams and the forest,
l followed the trail of the game. They claim
Our Squaw dance is vulgar. He's given us one
Even worse while the and spirits he's
Brought us have proven the poor Indian curse.
CHORUS.
Let me die without sigh sorrow,
Beat loudly the tom tom above me,
Sing slowly the Indian death chant
The doctor has come with his pill box,
To kill or to he may,
AS for me prefer the old tom tom to drive
Evil spirits away And even the White Mans
Bible, where everything good should he found
Has never said word about the Indian Happy
Hunting Ground.
CHORUS.
Let me die without sigh sorrow,
Beat loudly the tom tom above me,
Sing slowly the Indian death chant.
Give me my fathers footprints, as
Embark to the Happy Hunting Ground,
Cover me over with blankets.
Let die without sigh or sorrow,
Beat loudly the tom tom above me,
Sing slowly the Indian death chant.

OUR FIRST YEAR
IN THE WAR
By George Creel. Chairman of Com
mittee on Public Information

During this first year of war, the
army of the United States has been
increased from 1884 officers and 20s,
$40 men to 123,SO0 officers and 1925
924 men, and the navy from $4,000 to
100000 men and officers, SO that our
armed forces have grown in twelve
months from less than 100000 to
more than 100000 officers and men.
To outfit the men, the quarter
masters office has had 300 wooden
mills working On his contracts. 1t or
dered 20,O00,00 blankets, 5000, 0Ot
overcoats, 2O,OOO,00 10 pairs Of shoes,
and so forth, %endlessly. Every day
$4,000 carloads Of food and fuel were
delivered to the camps. And there
have been no contract scandals, no
graft, no shoddy work.
The soldiers have been armed by
an, ordinance bureau that consisted of
o. officers a year ago, and now num-
bers 5000 officers and 10000 men.
Since the war hogan it has provided
a million and a half rifles, It has
brought the production of rifles to an
output. Of $4,000 a week which will
supply three army divisions.
There has never been any machin-
cry built in this country to work SO
accurately on so large a scale as is
necessary for he production Of the re-
coil mechanism Of the French "75,s'.
These mechanisms must not be "oAf"
; two-thousandths of an inch in length
of more than six feet. The Ordnance
Bureau had to persuade manufactur-
ers to undertake this difficult work.
| and to assist them financially in the
building of a 13-acre plant and in the
purchase and manufacture of $6,0OO,-
900 worth of special tools. That is the
explanation of -isdelay which has been:
attributed by newspaper critics to the
desire of the Ordnance Bureau to Elm
prove" the perfect recoil mechanism
of the French 75's. The plant lis now
completed and it is turning out the re-
coil mechanisms.
The navy's huge program Of ship.
building has made it difficult for the
Shipping Board to realize its expected
output Of tonnage to replace merch.
ants vessels sunk by submarines. The
Shipping Board estimates that Ameri
can shipyards will complete IL YES
sells in May, % in June, So in July, 8;
in August, and 81 in September.

RIGHT, MORALLY AND LEGALLY.

The memorandum field of Secretary of State Lansing cover
ing the incident Of the seizure of Dutch shipping not only ilu-
inmates the subject for the benefit of the average person but
seems to leave no leg for the standing of the Holland contention.
It is made quite apparent that the Dutch recession from its own
proposition was an involuntary move, the pressure coming from
Berlin
The point of chief interest is that Secretary Lansing con-
vinces every fair mind that not only is the taking over Of the Hol-
be!!igerent, under established law and usage, but it was the fair
thing, the right thing and the only thing to do, in our own as well
as Hollands interest, in the disturbed condition of the world
than anything else-proving that we took these vessels not be-
cause we had the right and power to take them,r but because
Holland shares with us all Of the benefits, present and pros
pective.
Port conditions We're such that any other program would
have left the Dutch shipping in idleness and Holland would have
been the chief sufferer. We could supply the vessels, for their
usual business, with neither coal nor cargoes. It was a case of
taking them over or rendering them useless. They were taken
over and Holland gets the immediate benefit of cargoes other
wise impossible and the ultimate return of the ships together with
100000 tons Of foodstuf.
Holland is protesting, but not sincerely. It is the voice of
Germany disguised. The Sequel will prove and history will re-
cord that we were right, legally aid, what is more important,
morally and economically.

HOW DEEP TO PLANT POTATOES

Potatoes planted about 4 inches
deep have given the best yields at the
North Dakota Experiment Station and
at the Williston Satisfaction. The new
potatoes from along the stem above
the seed piece. When planted too
shallow the potatoes will form too
near the surface so that some will
sunburn and the quality will be poor.

The time has come when there is no chance for the middle
of the road man in this country. Every man must be 100 per cent
American, or he is classed with the disloyals. You can't get away
from the fact that the leaders in the Non-partisan League move
ment, have been classed as disloyas, and are now so classed. and
the question is are the loyal people Of this state going to stick
to these leaders, or are they going to stand on the side, that there
can be no question about their loyalty. A person that follows a
disloyal leader is liable to be tagged the same as his master.

THE BEST OF NEWS.

J.. O. Bentall, the Socialist candidate for governor of Mimi
esota, and James A. Peterson, who had made himself a candidate,N
for the Republican nomination for United States senator against!
loyal old Knute Nelson, have been convicted by juries in the
Federal court Of disloyal acts that brought them in conflict with
the espionage act. -~=.-. s@a--- -. ..1#.
This is the best news in many. days.
Both have richly deserved the verdicts. Neither has .theI
excuse of igorance. Both knew precisely what they were dong.
They were deliberately, overly and fagrantly disloyal, and they
deserve whatever punishment the court metes out Friday, even
though it be the maximum of twenty years imprisonment. Indeed,
that their punishment will be merely imprisonment, and not death,
this, whose hospitality they have so egregiousy violated.
A few more convcts like these will be the best possible means
of dispelling the threat of mob law which has hung over the ma
tion-Duluth Herald.
81 DISMISSAL. OF FIRST TRENCH.
plurality favor for MI. Lenroot. About eight per cent Of them
voted for Berger, the Socialist candidate, whose platform advocat-
ed the withdrawal of our troops from urope and the abandonment
of further military effort on our part. The men who voted Tor
Berger at Camp Grant may not be known, but their presence IN
the army is a menace to its efficiency; and if they can be found
they should be dismissed from the ranks as the least that can be
done to them.
About the time that our Uncle Samuel began to stretch out
his paw to gather Townaey and his band of disturbers in, they
evidently saw the point, and how patriotic" they became-an
of a sudden. But before this when Townley was ranting over the
state trying to array class against class here are a few OF the
choice sayings that have been charged up to him, and to our
knowledge have never been denied: I'VE are in the war for the
rotten rich" "Our boys are called upon to lay down their lives for
the damned food pirates" "Why buy Liberty Bonds? ?" why help
a government that don't help us" And yet Townley today is the
same old Townley that he was a year ago, and there is no doubt
But he knows better, and he is shrude enough to know that snch
talk today would put him down and out. Is there a man who
honestly believes that Townley is any more loyal today than he
was a year ago?
