THE OGRE

Minneapolis Journal-What weary
patter is the latest German note. and
what stupid camoulage! 1t is a prof
itless business to exchange notes with
murderers who kill and deny the deed.
and continue killing while the denial
is still upon their tongues. The spirit
OF Germany is that of the Ogre of
German fairy tales, smelling blood
and crying out for it. Anr he people
of Germany, back of the \ Eng line.
are the children of the killer. glad to
get the fresh meat their Ogre brings
back from the hunt. The repentance
of the Ogre and his younglings is the
repentance of physical fear and that
alone. They whimper when hurt. but
they take pleasure in the hurt of 9TH
ers. Lying has been the food and fuel
Of the German offensive: the very
breath Of Germany's nostrils. But
men who lie persistently, by and by
lose the power to lie consistently. and
so make a pitiful show before the
world. Germany has reached that
point as no nation in history ever
did. Any self-respecting people would
think shame Of itself to hold further
parley with such a stupidity, faithless
criminal government.

a newspapers is not easy
not as easy, for example, as to in
crease revenues in merchandising.
But increased are indispen-
sable, and newspaper subscribers and
advertisers must be prepared to pay
an increased price-and possibly a
greatly increased price-for the news
paper and for its advertising space.
The day of the cheap newspaper, and
the day Of cheap advertising space, is
passed, eve to return, in all prob
ability. The future will see fewer
newspapers-and. 1t is to be hoped,
better newspapers-and they will cost
more nearly what they are worth.
1t is important that no situation
shall arise that will imperil the ex-
istence of the newspaper as an insti-
tuition. 1t is a fundamental American
institution. 1t Is an indispensable in
stitution, n of the bulwarks of our
liberties. 1t is an essential, vital part
OF American life, from the smallest
country weekly to the most preten-
tious daily. 1t Is important that it
shall be preserved. The American
people should e TO 1t that 1t is pre-
served.

The Brookings county quota Of the
sum to be raised for the War Work
Activities has been taken care OF by
an action Of the County Commission
ers. The sum of $24 900 will be APP
%propriated out Of the general fund at
the January meeting, as the present
levies do not permit it's expenditure
out Of the funds Of this year. This
action by the commissioners is ex-
tremely commendable and right. This
fund Is a call on all the country equal
ly and it's payment as a tax by all IN

SURRENDER" IT MUST BE

Chicago Daily News-The Daily
News does not believe that in any
event there should be a negotiated
peace with Germany. The assump-
ton that the German people are not
and have not been OF the same mind
with their masters in this criminal
war is based on delusion or on mistak-
en- policy. Therefore the good, hon.
est word surrender" might as we'll
be presented in its broadcast sense to
Germany at this time. There is rea-
son to expect that the European al
lies who are associated with the Unit
ed States in the war will so decide.
Meantime the presidents reiterated
declaration that there can be no peace
with Prussia militarism and the king
of Prussia except the peace Of con.
quest furnishes profitable food for re-
Election in Berlin.

FROM THE STATE CAPITAL

Pierre, Oct. goth, 1918.-Editor of
Register; | feel bound to compliment
you on the fine testimonial to A. B.
Dalthorp in the last issue OF the Reg
lister and l want to confirm every
good thing said Of him.
He was a marked figure in the house
where there were many able men,
and | very much doubt If there was
ever a first term member in our state
legislature who made a more distinct
impression for sound judgment and
conspicuous ability than did Mr.. Dal-
thorp. Bookings county will do well
to return him to his seat.
AS a matter of news | want to tell
you a little about the Rural Credits
Board. They have been operating
just twelve months and have closed
loans to the amount of four and a half
million dollars, and are now receiving
applications for a million dollars per
month. These applications come from
every part OF the state, yet | doubt if
twenty-five per cent or our people
know that the state has a Rural Cred
its system in operation.
The board at its last meeting, (Oct.
7th to 12th). allowed 81, 2 900 in
loans. The creating Of this system
was one of the most far reaching and
constructive pieces OF legislation ever
adopted in this state, and is going to
result in very great and lasting bene-
fit. Do you know hat no other state
in the union has a Rural Credits sys-
TEN? It's a fact, and though the Fed
eral Government has such a system,
yet our state law seems to be much
simpler and much more direct in its
operation.
Brookings county has had about a
half million of this money and is one
of the leading borrowers among the
counties (not as a county of course).
| am proud of having had a part in
adopting this law and Of being able
to help administer its benefits.
Sincerely yours,
M. G. Carlisle.

H CROW'S-NEST


The Everett True cartoons, syndi-
Gated in many OF the daily papers,
have more point to them than most
cartoons that we are inclined to fol-
low. The object In most Of them is
supposed to be to cause a laugh. They
may serve their purpose but they often
do not even evoke a smile. Mr.. True,
in the Condo cartoons, IS always Wig
orOusly correcting some breach of
good and his points are we'll
taken. Sometimes the tables are
turned on him by the Mrs. True and
he gets the worst OF it just as his vic
tins have to suffer for undue famil-
~iarities and breaches Of good manners.
The Condo cartoons arc almost uni
formly good and are we'll worth fol-
lowing.
The number Of rumors that have
been set afoat locally and all Over
the country since the so-called Spanish
influenza broke out on this continent
have been astonishing. Soon after it
was announced that it had claimed it's
victims in the eastern states and in
the military cantonments timid people
became panicky and all kinds of
startling rumorS were circulated and
each one added his mite to the
rumors in the telling of it. The far
Their away from the locality attacked
the worse were the reports Of the IA
t~alities. 1t has resulted in the nature
of a scourge and the percentage Of
deaths which followed in the wake CT
the malady have been much above the
ordinary. Not the disease in itself,
but the after diseases have caused
most OF the fatalities. This is the
worst feature of the "fu". That peo-
pie should take up startling rumors
and repeat them with more or less
e~xaggeration, has not helped to allay
any panicky feeling that has existed.
Street reports OF the number Of ia
~talities in other localities have not
always been borne out by the facts.
1t Is not wise to repeat rumors In
stances can be cited in many locali-
ties where false reports have been
given undue credit and injuries to
communities and individuals have re-
rumors and not repeat them.

A NEWSPAPER PROBLEM

Sioux City Journal-It is hardly an
overstatement to say that the news
paper industry OF the United States
is facing a situation containing the
elements Of peril, II not Of disaster.
1t is going to be a question with many
newspapers whether they will be able
to survive. Many of them, unQues-
tionably, will not be able to survive.
This situation has been brought about
by recent horizontal advances in the
cost of print paper, upon which news
papers are printed.
Prior to the wal consumers of roll
print paper were paying in the neigh
borhood of 81 per hundred for it.
Like the prices Of all other commodi-
ties. this price has been advancing
steadily since the first year of the
war. Recently. after a lengthy in
vestigation of the cost of production,
a price of 1910 per hundred was fixed
by the federal trade commission. This
price was not satisfactory to the man
ufacturers, who thereupon appealed to
a court Of arbitration, asking for a
higher figure. Within the last month
favor Of a price of $3.50 per hundred
for roll print in a lots, with some
what higher prices for small lots and
fiat print. The increased price was
retroactive, covering all paper bought
since January l, last.
Hardly was the ink dry on this de-
cision when the federal trade com
mission announced that a still fur
Their increase had been granted the
manufacturers to $3.75A per hundred
for roll print and a corresponding in.
crease in the price of fat print. The
new price overs all paper bought
since July /.
These price increases impose a
staggering burden upon the newspa-
per industry. 1t is a burden which
will tax the strength Of both the met
ropolitan and the country press to
carry. Coupled with heavy increases
in postage rates which became effec.
tive during the year, with higher
freight rates, with increased taxes and
with the ever increasing cost Of la
Dor and all materials which 90 into

ton is one which menaces the exist.
ence OF the newspaper industry. Dur
ing the last four years hundreds Of
newspapers have either consolidated
with other newspapers or have gone
out OF business. The death rate may
be expected to increase with print pa.
per at 1915. And II the price should
go to 81 per hundred, as seems not
improbable. who can predict what the
result will be- To very many news.
papers, 81 print will be a p~rohibitive
price.
The situation makes it imperative
not only that newspapers shall en-.
force the most rigid economies, but
also that they shall find means of in.
.creasing their revenues. To increase

After t~hirty-fve years publication,
the Pierre Free Press quit last week
the field of journalism. The plant
was purchased by the Nipple Printing
Co., and the paper merged with the
Weekly Capital Journal. This leaves
the capital Of the state with only one
newspaper and only three in Hughes
county, the others being at Blunt and
Harold. The Free Press has had a
successful career and will be missed
from the exchange table of many a
state paper.

There has no word come from the
German nation that they are %repentant
for the foul crimes they have COM
mitted against humanity. There is no
talk of repayment for destruction OF
property and violation of rights.
There is no plea for mercy, or admis-
sion Of guilt. The Germans are not
yet in a condition where peace, an ar
mistice or even a parley would be any
gain to a world peace that would be
lasting. Their every effort Is to OBJ
tain a seal at the table where they
may play of one question against an
other and perhaps reap a peace that
will give them time and opportunity
to prepare for another war. Abso-
lutely. no peace is possible. until the
Germans have paid the penalty of
their frightfulness and expiated the
crimes OF which they are guilty. The
spirit Of their ambitions must be for
ever Quelled. The desire for world
conquest must be forever blotted out.
And Germany must be mi OF a fam
fly Of nations. no one of whom can
set all the world aflame by the desire
to acquire the supreme ascendency.
No nation must be permitted or al
lowed the privilege or chance of be.
coming a murderer. robber and ravish-
or. Mankind demands that the weak
shall be guarded against the assaults
of the strong. and that small nations
shall not be the prey Of great ones.

cepcy and stability. and not from a
preponderence of strength in men and
money. Thou shalt not pcss" must

READERS OF THE REGISTER

Owing to the recent ruling of the Federal Trade
Commission in again raising the price of print
paper, we may have to raise the price of the
Register to $3.50 per year by the first of Janu-
airy next in order to make it pay expenses. Be-
fore the war broke out and since, we have been
exceedingly fortunate in our purchases, but
now, on account of the shortage and the rules
laid down by the War Industries Board, we are
limited to a certain allotment with the certainty
of being obliged to pay the highest market price
per pound that has prevailed in the thirty-fve
years we have been in the publishing business.
We are therefore advising those who read the
Register and enjoy its weekly visits and who
have failed to attend to their renewals to do so
at once before the price goes any higher.
