The Red Cross needs no argument.
1t is its own argument. r..
The Red Cross needs no special ap-
peal. Its cause, it's beautiful work and
the competence with. which that work is
done constitute. an appeal far more
poignant than volumes of argument.

needed it is we need only let our fancies
paint a picture Of what conditions would
be withoutit. It is picture too dread
full to paint, so dreadful that nobody
with a heart who starts to paint it will
ever finish it. =.-5

generosity. That generosity MUST be

He who stints in his giving to the Red

relief to the suffering, refuses food to the
starving, withholds healing from the
wounded, takes life itself away from
thousands of war-tormented victims to

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-05-29
NEW PRESIDENT CALLED.

Rev. John Meyer Of Oconomowoc,
Wisconsin, formerly Of the D. M. L.
College faculty, was chosen for the
position Of director Of the local institu-
ton at a meeting held by the Board Of
Directors last week. Rev. Meyer lived
in New Jim for several years and made
a great many friends here who are
pleased to know there is possibility of
his return to this city. 1t is not known
at this time whether he will be able to
accept the call as it is necessary for him
to give, two weeks notice to his congre-
cation before they can act on his resig-
nation if he should decide to return to
New Ulm. The position he is called to
fill is that made vacant by the resigna-
ton of Prof. Ackermann.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-05-29

Disease and Fire as agents of destruc-
ton are two quite different things altho
some seem to see no difference at all.
War has frequently been likened to a
confagration but it is more truly called
a disease of the social body and must
be treated as such. 1t is not something
that can be put out" as fire can by
dashing water on the flames. 1t is a
disease which must be 'cured" by cut
ting off the source of the infection. All
good and honest physicians now dis
courage the attempt to treat physical
disease by administe medicines which
relieve the symptoms but leave the
cause untouched. This is what we mean
when we say the Red Cross work is
ameliorative rather than preventive.
When we look at it as a work of mercy
there is and can be no possible fault to
find With it for salving the wounds of
those who are injured by the progress
of the horrible disease. However, we
contend that the better way is to follow
the honest physician in his work of seek
ing out and destroying the causes of the
disease and those causes ex S. wherever
people living one side of boundary
line are taught hatred of those living on
the other side, wherever artificial re-
stsaints OF trade exist, and not all the
mercy work in the whole world will
put out tie confagration or cure the
disease we call War. This is not a
slam" at the Red Cross work. The
Review knows we'll what the work of
the organization means to the men who

He has right to be even Socialist
or anarchist or atheist, and to speak
on these subjects without interfer-
ence by the law. You must divorce
your minds of all prejudice against
these doctrines, gentlemen Of the
jury, in arriving at your decision.
You must exclude from your minds,
too, all excitement incident to the
war and it's events. II
Right to Express War Opinion
ut is the, constitutional right Of
every citizen to express his opinion
about the war, the participation Of
the United States in it, about the
desirability of peace, about the
merits or dement's of the system
of CONSUMPTION, and about the moral
rights or claims of conscientious OBJ
jectors to be exempt from con-
scription.
cit is the constitutional right of
the citizen to express such opinions,
even though they are opposed to
the opinions or policies of the Ad-
ministration, and even though the
expression of such opinions may un-
Intentionally or indirectly discourage
enlistment or recruiting"
EVERY citizen has right continue
Judge Hand, without intent to oh
struct tie recruiting or enlistment service
to think, feel and express:
"(a) Disapproval or adherence
of any law or policy or proposed
law or policy, including the declara-
ton of war, the CONSUMPTION act, and
the so-called sedition clauses of the
espionage act.
"(b) Belief that the war is not or
was not war for democracy.
"(c) Belief that our participation
in it was forced or induced by powers
with selfish powers to- be served
thereby.
"(d) Belief that our participation
was against the will of the majority
of the citizens or voters of the
country.
"(e) Belief that the self-sacrifice
of persons who elect to suffer for
freedom of conscience is admirable.
"f) Belief that war is horrible.
"(g) Belief that the Allies war
aims were or are selfish and .un-
democratic"

must fight. The Review is glad to do
all it can for the boys in every way but
this does not mean to us that we shall
go about the city and get the business
men to contribute some two or three
hundred dollars to fill our purse even if
the government or anybody else does
suggest it.

everything that the Administration did.

everything that the Administrator did
or failed to do. Anyone who did not
Join the chorus was liable to imprison-.
ment for treason or sedition. y
IT hope that we shall soon have re-
covered our sense as well as our liberty.
"The authors of the first amendment
to the Federal Constitution guaranteeing
the right of assembly and Of freedom of
speech and Of the press did not thus
safeguard those rights for the sake alone
of persons who were to enjoy them, but
even more because they knew that the
republic which they were founding could
not be worked on any other basis. Since
Marshall tried Burr for treason it has
been clear that that crime cannot be
committed by words, unless one acts as
spy, or gives advice to the enemy OF
military or naval operations. 1t can
not be committed by statements reflect
ing upon officers or measures OF govern
ment.
Sedition Defined
"Seditjon is different. Anyone who
directly advises or counsels resistance
to measures of government is guilty OF
sedition. That, however, ought to be
clearly distinguished from discussion of
the wisdom or folly of measures of gov
eminent, or the honesty or competency
of public officers. That is not sedition.
It is within the protection of the first
amendment. The electorate cannot be
qualified to perform it's duty in removing
incompetent officers and securing the
repeal of unwise laws, unless those
questions may be freely discussed.
'The right to say wise things neces-
sarily implies the right to say foolish
things. The answer to foolish speech
is wise speech and not force. The re-
public is founded upon the faith that If
the American people are permitted freely
to hear foolish and wise speech, majority
will choose the wise. If that faith is
not justified the republic is based on
sand. John Milton said it all in his
defense of freedom of the press: Let
truth and error grapple. Whoever knew
truth to be beaten in fair fght?'"
Judge Hand to the Jury
In the case of the Masses Magazine,
in which the charge Of conspiracy to
obstruct recruiting was brought against
Max Eastman, Floyd Dell, Merrill Rogers
and Art Young, after a summing up by
the attorneys on both sides, Judge Hand
in charging the jury, defined carefully
tie legal implications of the conspiracy
charge, and went to great lengths to
show that only direct proofs of con-
spiracy by two or more editors Of the
Masses for the avowed purpose of OBJ
structing recruiting would be enough to
justify verdict Of guilty.
He said that whatever unpopular or
unpatriotic opinions they may have held
or expressed was not enough to convict,
as the Constitution guaranteed the fullest
rights of free speech to every American
citizen: 80 !

Today is the time set apart by hunters
of Mankato, St. Peter, New Ulm, Nicol-
let and vicinity for concerted massacre
of all the crows, hawks, owls, black birds
and other alien enemies who, if allowed
to survive will attack the grain crops.
TIE hunters are going to work very
thoroly and will clean out the rushes
along Swan Lake after destroying all
birds found on the wing. The nests
found everywhere will be destroyed and
a good place to start would be in the
strip of land lying along the railroad
tracks In New Ulm as hundreds of black
birds make their home or at least camp
ing place in the swamp along the tracks.

TIE ON YOUR TAG

There is no price of admission to
the concerts on the public square Sat
urday afternoon, but if you are a
good sport you will pay for the priv
ilege of hearing the music. The Wom-
ans Club committee is selling tags at
25 cents apiece-a green tag for the
afternoon performance and red one
for that in the evening. If you ap-
pear at either concert without a tag
on, all the good-looking women and
pretty girls who are working so hard
to make this affair success, will say
you are de trop, that is, you are per-
soma non grata, that you don't belong
to the elite-that is to say you are a
titewag, a Stacker, or both. Dismay-
ed by the fear of their disapproba-
tion, we have tied ourself ON to two
tags and are following them around
wherever we go. Go thou and do like
