Not so Russell Thomson. AS long
as the train could be- seen down the
track Russell could be seen hanging
over the rail of the rear vestibule,
a handkerchief in one hand and that
trusty cap in the other, waving at
the girl who stayed.
1t was an unusually large crowd
that bade the young men farewell,
but not altogether a sad-faced one.
A few Of the courageous ones, direc-
ted by that efficient chorister, Miss
Edna Bradley, rendered numerous
vocal selections, including that beau
tiful piece, "The French Girls May
be Pretty, The French Girls May be
Witty, But Don't Forget Your Wan
dering Girl Tonight. The canteen
ladies gave special lunches to the
young men and served them iced tea.

spirited parasites in our industrial

dependent thinkers and are really
traitors. William D. Haywood, "un-

Workers of the World, and IA of his
chief aids in the conspiracy to over
turn the American war program,
were sentenced to 20 years in the
penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, by Federal Judge X. M. Lands.
Before pronouncing sentence on the
defendants, Judge Lands reviewed
at some length the salient points in
the governments case, laying espec-
ial stress on the I. W. w. preamble
declaring eternal war on the employ
ing class and denouncing war with
other nations; the meeting of the ex-
ecutive after Amerina had entered
the war at which it was decided to ex-
pei members entering the military
service; and later the concerted plants
by strikes and rebellion to block war
measures. 'In times of peace you
have a legal right to oppose, by free
speech, preparations for war. But
when war has been declared that
right ceases forthwith, was the

WHY TRUST SOCIALISTS?

1.-TWO New York Socialists sold out Russian
Democracy to German Autocracy; but
l. then what can you expect of New York
Socialists-or Milwaukee Socialists or st. Paul
Socialists or Minneapolis Socialists?
Even Charles Edward Russell, who poses as
rational" Socialist, COULDN'T resist doing
bit of pro-German work when he announced to
the world through the Associated Press in the
morning papers of Feb. II, 1918, after the Rus
sian deal was put by Lenine and Irotsky
that "now the Germans put four million men on
the western front, which is more than the Allies
can possibly dol"
How does Mr.. Russell know so much about the
allied strength? And if his utterance isn't 'leno-
ing aid and comfort to the enemy" what is it?
Beware of the Socialist! No matter how he
masouerades; no matter what he calls himself;
no matter what patriotic profession he may
make, scratch him, and you'll find the Boshevik

TO THE WIVES

THERE is class of laborers who never
strike and seldom complain. They get up
n early in the morning and never go to bed
until late at night. They work without ceaslng
during the whole of the time and get no other
pay than food and clothing. They understand
something of every branch of economy, from
finance to cooking; though harassed by hun
dred responsibilities, though Inundated, they
never revolt and they cannot organize for their
own protection-not even sickness relieves them
from their post. No sacrifice is deemed too great
for them to make and no incompetency in any
branch of their work is excused. No essays and
poems are written in tribute to their steadfast-
ness They are the wives of the majority OF
the people, who work, pray, live and die for their
loved ones.-St Peter Herald.

DANGERS OF OvER-CONFIDENCE

NO greater calamity could overtake this
M country than for our people to become
possessed of the erroneous belief that the
war is as good as won, and that further strenu-
Gus exertion is unnecessary.
The war is not won, and unless all indications
are misleading, is not likely to be won soon.
The forces contending for victory are far too
evenly matched for either to obtain any decided
victory.
Every man, woman and child in this country
should nerve themselves, constantly remind
themselves that their utmost exerton and sac
rifce is imperatively demanded. Any other at
titude must result in a weakening of the will of
effort-and these at this stage of affairs would
be fatal to our cause.
Of course it is barely possible that some for
tunate circumstance may befall to throw victory
to our arms, but this is extremely unlikely until
we have greatly increased strength on the
fighting front.
So let US reach out after four five millions
of fighting men, put them the front and the7
SUSTAIN them. 1t must not be said that Amer
lea, a nation that has never yet done things by
halves has now taken up the practice. We will

We wonder if farmers picnics without lunch
basket in sight, Gas Max johnson said of the
pushed-over-into-Lyon -County picnic of last
Wednesday, will be as popular now that the
primaries are over. The Townley organizers are
called to help fix fences in North Dakota, and
all those not held in Minnesota on one charge or
another will go. So perhaps the much-talked to
Minnesota farmer will now have time to get out
and pillow his corn-which is heap sight better
than getting out to blow his horn.

If efficiency and patriotism are the combined
essentials to re-elect worthy candidate to Office
then it goes without saying that julius A.
Schmahl, secretary Of state, should be retained in
office without dissenting vote Julius has
been on the job at all times, devoting his time
to the many details of his Office and he has al
so found time to devote to pure unadulterated
patriotism. Why speculate? When the state
has such an efficient officer it would be foolhardy
