Whip Germany, GiOe Kaiser
and Sons Trial, Convict, Then
Hang Them Soys Dr.. Dickie

The Germans should be pushed
back upon their own soil and the war
continued until they are thoroughly
whipped. Then the kaiser and his six
sons, along with Won Tirpitz, Hinden-
burg and the other military leaders
should be placed on trial for murder
before court composed of two men,
bers from each of the allied coun-
tries, and upon being found guilty,
should be taken out and hung by the
neck until Dead" declared DR.. Samuel
Dickie, president Of Albion college,
in his address Sunday evening at
Trinity Methodist church.
+ DIR. Dickie, who was in Germany at
the outbreak of the war, and who has
been chosen by President Wilson to
visit the war front for the purpose of
making observations and bringing
back a message to the American peo-
pie, was the speaker at the fifth of a
series of services held at Trinity
church.
He has made a thorough study of
events leading up to the war, as well
as the manner in which it is being
conducted by the various nations and
in his talk was very plain spoken
when placing the blame on Germany
for having caused it and dealing with
her methods of carrying it on.
There has never been a war in
history where the blame is more
clearly placed on nation than this
war, on Germany" he said. "No
band OF robbers on the western plains
holding up a train, Staying the crew,
pillaging the mails and express, and
rifling the pockets Of the passengers
would be as guilty of murder apd rob-
berry as is Germany Of causing this
war. On four different occasions be-
fore its outbreak. Great Britain, Rus
sis. France and Italy were agreed on
holding a peace conference at Vienna
and on the last of these occasions,
which was on July 81, 1914, they were
joined by Austria. Germany, how
ever would have nothing to do with
IL, and on the following day declared
war.
IL wish that this country had de-
clared war the day after the sinking
OF, the Lusitania. Germany had the
right to capture the Lusitania; she
even had a right to sink her, but be-
fore doing this she was bound under
international law to provide for the
safety of all on hoard"
In referring to when the war would
end, DIR. Dichie said that it would end
when Germany was beaten to the
dust and that it should not end before.
There are probably in this country,
even at this late day, some people who
would be in favor Of accepting q.

HOUSEWIVES RELEASED
FROM WHEATLESS PLEDGE

Housewives throughout the country
who periodically put their homes on q
wheatless basis last spring have been
released from their pledges to the
food administration to go absolutely
without wheat. This release was
merely from the voluntary pledge to
go entirely without wheat until the
new harvest. Housewives will con-
tinue to purchase the required amount
of wheat substitute with their wheat
flour.
Coming in of the new wheat crop
has made it possible for the nation to
go back partially to its old habits of
eating. But the Uncertainties Of
war and the necessity for building up
of food reserve are incentives to
caution even in the face of good
crop. - -
As the available supply of wheat
diminishes or increases so does the
u. s. food administration accordingly
change its rulings as to the use Of
wheat flour.
So as to cover every possible ruling
that might be made by the food adj
ministration, a little booklet of Sc
lected Recipes for War Times has
been especially prepared for the pat
riotic housewives Of America.
Every recipe has been carefully
selected, prepared and tested in a
modern experimental bakery and lab
oratory by a housewife, domestic
science expert and food analyst. The
recipes range from those calling for
all wheat to those calling for no
wheat flour. No matter what kind
of war recipe you are looking for
you can find it in Selected Recipes
for War Times" This splendid lit
tie booklet can be had for the asking.
Simply write CALUMET BAKING
POWDER COMPANY, 400 Fillmore
street. Chicago, Ill, and it will be
sent you postpaid. Save the needed
wheat flour-use your substitute
flours and help win the war.-Adv.

The mothers of this state will practically control the election Of
a State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and we feel that they
are interested enough in this matter to see to it that this impor-
tant position is filled by the most capable person obtainable. In
the field we have two candidates, the present incumbent, who has
been and is known as a shrude politician, and one whom we feel
lhcany. In our humble judgment he is what might we'll be
termed a cheap politician: His opponent is Miss Minnie Nelson,
county superintendent Of schools Of Barnes county, and is a lady
cational, work and stands high among the educators Of the state to-
day. She would make a faithful and efficient state official, and we

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.

Our Constitution is a set of guarantees of protection for certain
ideals of government, under which citizens of this state have built
and are building bones, and otherwise employ their earnings in
in these guarantees (amending the constitution is to in
terfere seriously with the plans and property of home owners and
should be very careful in advocating or bringing about any such
changes for fear we bring about conditions that might injure our
selves and our n%eighbors. p
Realizing even that the best of us sometimes get excited and
hastily do things that are damaging to ourselves, provision avs
wisely made in our constitution SO we could not disturb it without
the lapse of sufficient time to take a second thought.
An extensive disturbance of our institution is now proposed in
the form Of a number of amendments. tt is therefore time for us
to take that second thought.
The constitutional amendments that are proposed should be
carefully studied and information pertaining to them obtained
from any and every possible source, so that we may vote wisely
at the fall election. Some of them may be good and some very
dangerous. They should be discussed thoroughly and continually
cur raiders is call to an analysis of some Of the amendments in
this issue as presented by the people who question the wisdom of
adopting them.

MARRIAGE TANCLE
DAzzLES THE Jury
Age of This Young Bride More
Puzzling Than Was The
Age of ANA.

The jury in Judge Willer's court
disagreed yesterday afternoon in the
case Of the State Of Missouri against
Harry Blancet, charged with making
a false affidavit wnen he made an APP
plication for license to marry Edna
Bright. two or three weeks ago.
Three of the jury were for the State
and three for the defendant.
Several hours were consumed IN the
trial of the case, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Caluthers representing the State
and Albert Spreading the defendant.
The point at issue was the age of
the wife of the defendant. The mo-
Their of the young sirl, Mrs. Bright,
said the girl was only 10 years old,
and swore out a warrant for her SON
in-law.
Mrs. Bright claimed the girl was
only - years CT age. DR.. Howard
testified that he was the physician in
attendance when the girl was born
and that the date of her birth was
April Ii, 1903.
The defendant introduced several
witnesses to prove that the young
bride was Is years of age or over.
Mrs. Blancet herself testified in her
husbands defense by claiming that
her mother had always told her. that
she was five years younger than her
brother Willie Bright and that ne was
% years cid.
Mrs. Blancet, mother of the defen-
dant, said a daughter was born to
Mrs. Bright when the Blancets were
living in Memphis and that this was
Is years ago. She was not positive
that it was Edna as she had heard
that Mrs. Bright had lost sever9
children but that she thought it was
the same child.
Mrs. William Verke, a sister-in-law
of Mrs. Bright testified that when she
moved here II years ago Edna was
a big stout girl at least six or seven
years of age. She was positive that
the girl was Edna.
The six men composing the jury
were William Lyles, Al Meystedt,
Charles Moedyr, J. +. Indy, Mack
Berry and c. Wielpuetz. As the
Jury disagreed it will be necessary to
Try the case again.
The penalty for making false af-
iidayit is six months in jail or a fine
Of $500.
