WITH THE EDITORS
DOYLE'S RECORD CLEAN.

We wonder how the Townley machine is going
to cook up any dirt against S. J. Doyle, the indie
pendent candidate for governor? Doyle is sue
cessful farmer, and is held in high esteem by the
administration at Washington and for number
of years has been in active federal service. Just
how Townley will try and dig up some thing
against him, will be watched with great deal Of
curiosity. -Golden Valley American.

TWO CONFLICTING VIEWS.
to Beat Burnquist Justified.

The alliance between the Minnesota Nom
partsans and labor element with the brewery in
terests is greatly to be deplored, yet, but justified
if necessary to defeat Burnquist, responsible for
political conditions preceding the Minnesota pr-
mary. AS governor, to advance his own political
fortunes, he egged on petty officials and plug
uglies all over the state to deeds of violence and
hindranee of Speech violation of the corner
stone to the democracy on which we pride our
selves, liberty. The Minnesota primary was j.
disgrace to the United States. To defeat Burn
quist we would paliate an alliance with the devil
himself, with whom Burnquist has been on ex-
cellent terms. The brewery interests are bad
enough, yes, but minor evil compared with Burn
quist.-Parshall Leader, (Nonpartisan)

A FIVE-WORD SPEECH.

If any Four Minute Man thinks the material
supplied from Washington is too technical, too
formal, or too difficult to condense, we commend
him to Uncle Ichabod, whose slogan "A bond for
every blessing" is complete speech by and of
ITSELF and one which can hardly fail to appeal to
any audience.
Any speaker can expand it for himself, but
perhaps he could hardly do better than to recte
the poem entire, as recently published in The
Tribune. If he gets it under the skin of his audi
ence, he may rest assured he has sold some bonds

THE PRICE THEY PAY.

Liberty is no cheap thlng. IL cosIs uet'llS
and is worth all it's price. Without liberty lite IS
mere existence, civilization crumbes, humanlty'1s
blinded and injustice is rife Human pemgs love
liberty. Some of them endure untold hardshlps
for liberty Some of them now are in the trenches
in France, Macedonia, Palestine and Italy TOR
liberty. More are going.
MANY of them paid the highest price asked of
man-LIFE.
Some of them fell into the clutches of the
enemy of liberty, the HUN, and they paid price
almost unbelievably hard.
The Germans took this soldier, Private Hick-
man. prisoner of war; When he fell in their hands
he weighed LAG pounds. Today, five months later,
he weighs 49, That is how the HUNS starved
their prisoner OF war. The HUNS amputated one
of Hero Hickmans legs without giving him an
ganaesthetic The only food they gave him was
a daily ration of bowl of thin turnip soup and
two slices of black bread.
Hickman paid for liberty!
+. Private Swami has just been returned from
a German prison camp. While prisoner he was
operated on without an anaesthetic and with
nothing to ease the pain. When the pain caused
him to finch and cry out German nurse slapped
him across the face as he lay on the operating
table,
Swami paid for liberty!
= Private Hawey was wounded in both legs be-
fore the HUNS took him. Gross neglect of his
wounds in the prison camp rendered both legs ab-
solutely useless. Both could have been saved If
the HUNS had given him but slight attention.
Now both are shrivelled up to the size of childs
arm.
Hawley paid for liberty!
F. Now, good people, we who stay at home and
do not risk the dangers of the trenches "over
there" are never within the range of German
gums, never called upon to 60 over the top and
thrust our bodies against the cleaning steel of
the German bayonet, are we going to let soldiers
like Hickman and Swami and Hawley do all the
paying for liberty-ours as well as theirs?
Our government asks us to help pay. 1t
takes money to clothe, feed and arm them. 1t
takes money to bring them back from German
prison camps and nurse them back to health.
It takes money to fight for liberty.
You are asked to furnish this money.
You may do your share by subscribing FOR
Liberty Bonds NOW-as much as you have saved
up and can save within the next six months by
the closest personal economy.
You are not asked to give your life nor your
money You are merely LOANING the latter so
that the torch of liberty may light your footsteps
all the rest Of your life.
The money will be returned to you with in
terest.

you read in the papers Of said place

say the battle on the Marine was some

Our German Brewers Show Their Colors.
Discovered in an attempt to buy one of the fore
most Washington newspapers, the pro-German
brewery interests of this country in bad hole
The brewers have admitted the purpose of their
half million dollar investment in newspaper was
to create friendly feeling towards Germany,
and to fight for their business against the ever
increasing prohibition wave. The familiar names
of Hamm, Pabst Miller and Schmidt are included
in the list of brewers to the half million dollar
fund. The net result of their action will be to
create resentment that will hasten prohibition,
and to link up the liquor interests of this country
with any effort made for German propaganda. It
is significant that ninety per cent of the big brew
ers of this country are of German birth or German
extraction .-Parshall Leader, (Nonpartisan)

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are IN need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that j know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimon-- of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address

enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

ut amt no use, sir" he said, and
plunging his hand into his breast, he
drew out his mouth organ.
The relief was only momentarily
achieved. The monsters came crowd
ing back. They pinioned Donald's
arms to his sides by pressure. In an
other instant Clouts would have paid
the debt he never owed MacBeard.
1t was then the ruling passion as
serted itself in Clouts. Perhaps it was
because he thought his chance would
never come again, or it might have
been mere habit. Setting his hand to
his lips, he struck out the reedy notes
of sally in Our Alley"
Donald saw the phosphorescence run
from them along the cave like liquid
fire. He heard MacBeard's deep note,
saw the fire CULVER and vanish in the
darkness outside the cave. Meanwhile
Sam Clouts played on.
Donald seized Davies arm in wild
excitement.

sic, not the sounds, because they can't

That's their language. And MacBeard
learned somewhere that they wouldn't

"A tuning fork!" shouted Davies.
With their arms linked, they ran
into the throng of scurrying monsters,
Ida between Donald and Davies, and
Clouts in the van, blowing his mouth
organ like a mailman. The monsters
hurried before them in evident panic.
The contact with the slippery bodies
no longer produced residence. The
elusive phosphorescent CLEANS shot
here and there ike will-o'- the-wisps.
MacBeard was nowhere to be seen.
At the caves entrance Sam Clouts
paused and turned to Donald.
II wish I'd brought my bass con-
certina aboard, sir" he said.
Never mind; you're doing very
well indeed, Clouts," answered Donald.

to breathe. He ran with his lungs full
of a little reservoir of air, which he
exhaled slowly.
He could see neither Clouts nor Da'
vies, but he believed that they were
struggling toward the submarine.

by miracle. He had the good fortune
