Buys Bonds for Boys

Last Friday Messrs. Frank Heath
cote George Stoddard and F. A..
Zirble came in from the west part
of the county for the purpose of
securing liberty bonds before they
were all gone. Mr.. Zirble is one of
the.old timers in Mazeppa township.
He has been doing pretty we'll,
thank you, under Uncle Sans be-
nevolent rule, having raised . fam
lily Of fifteen children and he wanted
to present each one with q hundred
dollar liberty bond. When he
went into the First National bank
with his companions the cashier
reached over to get note FOR him
to sign. expecting Of coarse that he
would have to borrow the money,
but Mr. Zirble assured him that it
was not necessary, as he wanted to
pay cash for the bonds. Mr.. Zirble
Is Of German blood, but he is op-
posed to autocracy and is IN Amer
lean through and through. and i
lust as loyal to Uncle Sam . though
his forefathers had come over Ia
the Mayfower:.

there are but 329 negroes in oil the

The fact that we are in the war
was again brought vividly to mind
by the fact that one Of the men en-
listed from here is said to have
been on the illfated Cyclops. the
U. s. collier that has 30 myster.
iously disappeared, and Of which
no tracecan be found. The mans
name was James s. Wahl. and ne
wasa former employe Of the round
house here. The young man went
from here to his home ia Michigan
and enlisted in the navy just about
q year ago. Mr.. ]. D. Burkhardt
received q letter from him shortly
after, and Earnest Smith received
word from him but = short time
ago. in which he stated he expected

bunch of imported l. w. w. tough
The non-partisan movement may
net have been organized to defeat
the aims of the government Of the
United States, but the Kaiser him
self could not have planned a more
efficient organization to further his
purpose. If the non-partisan
league has any good thing to pro-
pose it can certainly wait until af-
ter the war to secure this purpose.
The American people must be
united people to win the war, and
an orgniation that seeks to dis
tract and set the country people
against the towns-people and poorer
people against richer people, ID
helping to win the war for the kai-
ser. This was just what the Boil

their land is now at the mercy OF
the Kaiser and the Junkers Of
Germany-and they are showing
them no mercy.

Senator Sterling Defines Citizenship

Washington, D. e. April 10,
1918. Senator Sterling has had
several inquiries relative to the
status of residents of South Oak.
ota who, in territorial days, had
filed their declaration of inten.
ton to become citizens OF the
United States, and who had vot.
ed and were residents of the Ter
ritory of Dakota at the time
when South Dakota became q
State. 1t has been generally
understood that such persons
were citizens even though they
did not take out their final natur-
alization papers, but in order to
set at rest all doubts about the
matter, Senator Sterling sub.
mitfed the question to Govern.
ment officials concerned with
naturalization matters. He has
been informed by them that
these who, prior to the admis.
sion of South Dakota as q State
of the Union, had fled, under
oath, the required declaration Of
intention under the Naturaliza
ton Laws of the United States
to become citizens of the United
States, and had taken an oath to
support the Constitution of the
United States, and were legally
entitled to vote for representa-
tives to the Dakota Territorial
Assembly at the time when
South Dakota was admitted as a
State of the Union, and were re-
siding there at that time, were
then adopted as American citi-
zens and it is not necessary for
them to take out final naturaliza
ton papers.

Grant County Comes Up Smiling with
an Over Subscription Of the
Third Liberty Loan

The campaign for the third liber-
ty loan has been q splendid success
in Grant county. Chairman A. A.
Blomquist who has had charge of
the canvass is more than please d ,
and every citizen of the county can
we'll feel proud of the record made.
While the allotment per capita for
this county was probably as large or
larger than that Of any county in
the state the amount was nearly
subscribed before any personal
solicitation was made. and at the
end of the two days canvass the
allotment for Grant county was
over subscribed. Big Stone more
than subscribed its allotment before
anv solicitation WIS made.
Some intimationa had been made
that because Of the large numbers
Of farmers Of German descent in
the county. Grant county would not
meet its allotment. but these farm
ers were among the first and fore-
most to meet their assessment. and
there are few slackers Of any kind
in the county. Grant county peo-
pie have responded to Uncle Sam 8

city canvass was the response OF the
railroad men in the yards here.

Aberdeen and made . personal can

railroad men in the town. The
Grant county apportionment was

The above as will be seen is in
reply to an editorial article we
printed endorsing the loyal stand ta-
ken by Governor Burnquist of Min
nesota in his opposition to the dis.
loyal character of the leaders of the
non-partisan league. That the as
sertion Of the Herald-Advance that
the non-partisan league is of the
same character as was the Bolshevi-
ke movement and if successful will
have the same result in this coun-
try that it did in Russia. we are
still convinced, and people Of all
parties are generally conceding the
fact. Mr.. Liggett very deftly
says: Surely sober. second thought
will convince you that the farmers
of the northwest have not Bolshevi-
XII tendencies although they are or
ganizing."
There 10 no question Of the loyal
u Of the farmers. but there is q
question Of the loyalty Of the lead
ers Of the non-partisan league
movement. and there III question q
TO the advisability pf setting up one
class Of people against another
class-particularly In this time Of
war, when We should stand united
against Z common enemy.
The charge 10 not that the farm-
er are disloyal. = our critic would
have It appear. The charge ID that
leaders Of the non-partian league
are disloyal, and gave absolute
proof Of their disloyalty ia their
public utterance until they became
alarmed at the rumpus they had
raised and the prospect that their
disloyalty was liable to be unpopu-
lar. That this Is the truth all We
have to cite 10 utterances Of
the leaders Of the league. many
of whom have been arrested and
convicted in the courts for sedition.
and also to refer to the natiC n
wide case Of Lafollette who gave
utterance to his sedition under the
auspices Of the non-partisan
league.
But it is not necessary to 60 out
side Of our own county to call at
tention to the disloyalty Of the
league leaders. We refer to the
seizure BY the government Of the
seditiops edition Of the Strandburg
paper while It Wa being publishsd

Non.Pariisan League Manager Thinks
We are Mistaken In Cur Diagnosis
National Nonpartisan League
A. G. Townley, President
National Headquarters
st. Paul, Minnesota
April I'd, 1918.


Editor Advance,
Milbank, SO. Oak.
Dear Sir:
Would you be 80 fair as tO print q
brief reply to . statement In your Is
sue of March % that the NOnpartisan
league Islands In America for what
the Bolshoviki stood for In RussiaY"
The entire tenor OF your article is
that tho league members are traitor
Gus and disloyal aud far from being
good citizens.
Your conclusions are based on q
Letter written by Gov. Burnquist of
Minnesota, whom the league 10 opp"s-
ing for reelection. The governor is
hardly % unprejudiced witness. But
in spite of what the governor says
the Public Safety Commits ion has
not stopped meetings of the Nonpart-
isan league which Il would certainly
do II the League speakers made any
disloyal utterances. Tue legal
troubles In Minnesota resulted for the
most part from local authorities for
bidding the league the right of free
assemblage.
Surely sober second thought will
convince you that the farmers Of the
Northwest have not Bolsheviki tend
encies even though they are Organiz-
ing:
years under unfair marketing cOndi-
tiOns which they are now organizing
to correct. The cries OF "Bolshevlki"
are the reflection of the fears of the
profiteers whom the farmers lnteud to
,dethrone.
The farmers have declared for q
program OF state flour mile, state ele-
'vators. state packing plants, state ele.
vatOrs, state cold storage plants to
be run at cost for benefit of both prod
ucers and consumers. The farmers of
South Dakota must sell on the hi
cago market plus the freight and buy
On the Chicago market, plus the
freight.
They can at least cut out those two
freight charges on those products of
their state that are used at home,
by manufacturing them at home.
Also they can bring into the state
millions of dollars every year by
shipping out nour and meat rather
than wheat and cattle.
This is business enterprise which
has for the people OF North Dakota
such possibilities that they should
give the league program careful study
instead of being frightened away by
false charges that the farmers intend
to bring in q reign of Bolshevikism
