GERMANYS IDEA OF PEACE.

From the beginning and to the end
let US, the American people and our
allies, determine unalterably that no
peace shall be made which does not
write into its terms the safety Of the
world from German aggression in the
future.
Germany's idea Of peace IS advantage
for Germany. 1t contains within it the
full determination to wage another war
Of conquest as soon as it shall have
recovered strength and treasure with
which to conduct it. It's proposals and
purposes of peace are purely militaris-
TIC Peace means to Germany as Ger
many Is ruled today, an armist!ce that
shall be employed in preparation for
another desperate effort to accomplish
Grafton. Won Hertling's speech makes
that much clear. Nothing else is to be
drawn from the lessons of the war"
as General Won Ereytag Lorringhoven
reads them. The lesson of the war 20
militarist Germany brings only one
conclusion-that the next time Ger
many must succeed in the purpose OF
piracy and that the lesson of this war
is simply to avoid it's mistakes In an
other and greater war which shall be
successful. Germany's plan already
outlined by her militaristS and her
statesman mouthpieces Of the kaiser is
first, campaign OF swindling diplo-
macy She would grow rich and strops
again by any means in her power,

THREE WEEKS TO THE PRIMARY.

Three weeks from today the voters of
this state Will nominate candidates for
important state, congressional and
county offices. There is SO little in
terest In politics and so much more
interest in the war that half the
voters Will probably not 20 to the
primary and tho other half can not
NOW name the candidates for whom
they will have to vote
This is evidenced in the fact that
there is only one candidate running for
the republican nomination for governor
and he is seeking his nomination for
reelection for second term. II IS
more strikingly evidenced by a secro-
tary of state who never ought to have
been elected who has shown himself
to close observers to be incompetent
in office but who sees in the present
state Of Indifference his opportunity
to get away with nomination for a
fourth term. People in this part Of the
state should center upon Ramsay. of
Clarion, and defeat Allen if they can.
Ramsay is a worthy and competent
man who has served creditably as a
clerk in the Legislature. He has been
unanimously endorsed by every re-
publican editor in Wright county
where his history and his habits are
known.
The state auditor and treasurer are
seeking nominations for reelection
without opposition.
The state superintendent of schools
Is seeking nomination for reelection
after several terms and altho com
petent himself the fact that he has
been in office so long and that his
leading opponent, Professor McClena-
han. Of the state university, is so ably
qualified. promises Deyoe strong COM
petition. Professor McClenahan was
inspector of high schools for the state
board Of education for several years
and has had experience as supern
tendent of schools and as instructor
in teachers colleges.
This IS the year of all years that
voters should get a list Of candidates
and look them up before the day of the
primary election. There is little or no
will be an easy time for incompetents
to slip by at home as we'll as in the
state. The primary and the right OF
the voter to cast his vote direct in the
selection Of party candidates is on
trial this year as it never was before

NEED WOMEN
ON RAILROADS

washington, D. c., Sept. 13.-The
number of railroad jobs that women
are able to hold has increased ire
mendously since the war began. One
of the first new jobs for women was
car cleaning, and they have been en-
gagged in this work in the Boston yards
of the Boston & Albany railroad for
many months.
Now the railroad administration
contemplates the employment of wo-
men almost exclusively as clerks, ac-
countants, ticket sellers, station
agents, crossing watchmen, and car
cleaners, in which jobs they can re-
lease men for the army or for more i'm
portant work To some extent, it is
understood, women will be employed
as track laborers.
Every effort will be made to guard
the safety and health OF these women
workers, and it is probable that the
work of the women in industry service
of the department of labor will be of
great value in solving problems con-
nected with their employment. Women
will be paid the same as men for the
same work. English and French rail-
roads were long ago compelled to hire
women for railroad work on an ex-
tenSfve scale. In France the women
even act as firemen on locomotives.
There are training schools for women
ticket agents in several large cities al
ready, where young women between
the ages of 21 and 35 years are given
two months courses in railroad geog-
raphy and simple accounting. They
are paid SIS month while learning
and afterwards receive from SOS to
! $500 a month.
