The Devils Lake world and inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, N.D.) 1915-1920, 1918-09-25

We know now, if we didn't know it before, that this is the best
government on earth, the one most responsive to the viii of the
people With all its faults, and there are many, it is the one most
worth fighting for. We are now fighting to keep it for our own,
an ws4oUe that government the very best there is in us until the
fight is won. :,
is being shaken. Old earth trembles beneath the tread of 80 nil
lions armed men; more than one-haf the civilized world is en-
gagged in wholesale human assassination in the name of civilization.
Three years of war have shattered the accumuations of 100 years
of peace. Three years more of war and it may take 1000 years
to restore the wreck and ruin and waste.
Due to causes altogether beyond our control, against our most
ardent prayers, and contrary to the desires of nine-tenths of the
American people, we have been drawn into this worldwide catas-
trophe-sucked into the vortex of carnage. God only knows for
how long.
We are in the midst of one of those great upheayals of civiiza-
tion-the greatest of them al-out of which will be born events
that will affect the whole future of the human race. The world
war is the fearful %birth-throe of a world democracy. We are see
ing the world being remade.
We got into this war because we could not honorably keep out
of it. We are in it to save America; to preserve a great and pa
tient peoples decent self,respect, to justify our right to live as we
have lived, not as brutal men of blood and an arrogant autocrat
wishes us to live and pay homage and tribute to him and them.
We became involved in this thrugge not simply because was was
made on us by the German government, but because if we do not
take part in it there will be no security in the world, that the next
generation will live under the black shadow of impending wars of
conquest. The world will go mad unless kaiserdom and the auto
cratic ideal is o%verthroWn. And that is the way we've got to be't
it with our own weapons. ARTHUR CAPPER.

MICHIGAN BUSINESS
MEN GUARDING ELEVATORS

Michigan, N. D., Sept. 1s.-The sit
uation here is pretty. serious, all grain
elevators being filled So that not one
more bushel Of grain can be handled
by either house until after cars can
arrive. Farmers are storing grain
in every nook and corner of their farm
buildings and some have been forced
to leave it on the ground.
Last year about this time .Lakota
had several serious fires, when consid-
cradle grain was lost Michigan does
not intend that anything Of this ma
ture happens and have therefore or
gained voluntary night watches to
guard the elevators. The business
men have made up their minds that
not one kernel will be lost if they can
help it, therefore these precautions.

~MY IRISH CINDERELLA"
COMING TO THE
GRAND TOMORROW

my Irish Cinderella" is the title of
the new four-act drama which will be
seen at the theatre Thursday.
1t is said to be entirely different
from the Irish plays that have been
seen in recent years. It tells the story
of a little Irish girl, Peggy Mcneil,
and her adventures in this country and
abroad. 1t has a good, clean, interest
ing story and the characters are all
human and real. It sparkles with true
Celtic wit, and there is no charicture
Of the Irish race, as is so often seen
in so-called Irish plays.
At the opening of a play, Peggy is
found in a poor-house. She has been
given a story book of Cinderella, and
while she is reading it a strange train
of circumstances begins which finally
lands Peggy in England, as the heiress
of the Earl of Lonsdale.
Adventures now happen to Peggy in
rapid succession. She folls in love
with a young American aviator, serv-
ing the cause of the allies. She finds
that to be rich is not always to be
happy. At one minute the audience
laughs with her and the next minute
it cries with her.
Miss Daisy Carleton, in her action
OF the title role, presents a character
drawing which is perfect. The beauty
OF the rich Irish dialect is carefully
brought out, and Miss Carleton is a
charming and delightful little colleen.
She is a remarkably clever dancer and
during the action of the play has sew
eral song hits.
A splendid supporting company adds
to the interest of the play and a beau
tiful senic production is promised By
the management. Get ready for the
4th Liberty Loan.

This has been a great year for the farmers of Ramsey county,
and this crop is making many a farmer in this county rich, and
these farmers should stand ready and willing to do their share, yes
even more than their share, toward purchasing Liberty Bonds

WHY THIS INDEBTEDNESS?

can papers against ExPresident Roosevelt. They never lose an
ly unwarranted and far fetched at the best. Colonel Roosevelt is
human and intensely so. He has made mistakes in common with
other men which even his most ardent admirers admit. But his
Americanism is beyond question. He is quick to critcise, but he
geneTaii y supports " t ms crlrcl s4 81 ~ltn logic ana is found on the
vndictiveness mentioned there he has been charged with failing
to cooperate with the administration in its war activities because
he could not run the whole thing. This baseless charge has been
refuted a thousand times by his work during the war. He has Of
cred his personal services which for some reason not altogether
clear, were refused. He has gioyen the best he had to the cause.
All four of his sons enlisted and have seen active service and one
has given his life to the cause of humanity.
1t will take much more than the vaporings Of a vindictive press
to put Roosevelt in the discard. He has too many sincere and
steadfast admirers among the real Americans who refuse to be led
by political schenners whose only grounds for their spite against
him is that he won't allow his opinions to be biased by their wishes.
Colonel Roosevelt is still a big factor in the republican ranks and
will have to be reconed with for some years to come-Belt Valley

possibility that they were taken as
prisoners and may be all right yet.
