Winnebago Enterprise: The more we
see of the actions Of President Wilson
in handling the affairs Of this war, the
more thankful we are that we lost our
vote, and a few bets, at the last ma
tional election. President Wilson is
surely a competent man and great
leader, and he is going to pilot the
good Old Ship of State out of the
stress and storm of war into the har-
Dor OF peace and victory.

st Peter Herald: There is only one
way to advertise, and that it to hammer
your name, your location and your bus
mess so persistently, so thoroughly into
peoples heads that if they walk in
their sleep they will constantly turn
their steps toward your store. The
newspaper is your friend in spite of
criticism. 1t helps build up the com.
munity that supports you. When the
day comes that the newspapers are
dead, the people are on the edge of the
grave with nobody to write the epitaph.
It is said that Frank Eddy, of Sank
Centre, the old war horse, who repre-
sented the old seventh district in con-
gress for many years, is considering the
advisability of entering the fight in
the Sixth district for the republican
nomination. Entries already are Con-
gresham Knutson, Mark Woolley of
Park Rapids and Elmer E. Mcdonald
of Bemidji. On the democratic side, p.
J. Russell Of Bemidji, has filed, and af-
ter the other fellows have had their
tilt, although the district is strongly
republican, he expects to give the win
ner the loser s end.

Grand Rapids Herald: It is danger
Gus thing for one to say that such and
such a person is not a patriot. To
charge disloyalty is a most serious Of
Tense for disloyalty is most serious
crime. If one has hesitance in charg-
ing a man with perjury, with theft,
there must be all the more hesitancy in
charging him with disloyal acts and pur-
pose. In other words he must have evil
dence. Some of the greatest patriots
are those who are working quietly every
day in the best interests of their coun-
try and their community; who are do
ing as much as they did before this
war, and more. President Wilson COM
mends this kind Of patriotism.

Food, labor and transportation are
three Of the important factors to be
taken into consideration in relation to
the success of the war. War gardens
wherever possible will assist greatly in
helping solve these problems. Speaking
from accurate knowledge, DR.. Alonza
E. Taylor of the national food admin
istration, says: cit is no exaggera-
ton to say that the war gardens in Eu-
rope have in the case of Germany, for
instance, pulled her through two sum-
mers and that she probably would not
have been able to pull through if it had
not been for her war gardens. In the
largest cities of Germany, as much as
Is to 30 per cent of the food consalmp-
ton Of these people during those
months was fresh vegetables, largely re-
lieving the cereal situation.''

Springfield Republicans: While Pres
ident Wilson 9 request to the governor
Of California to grant executive Glenn
ency to j. F. Mooney, now under death
sentence, is very unusual perform
ance, there are weighty diplomatic rea-
sons supporting his action. A strong
sentiment also exists in this country
that the condemned man should at least
have a new trial owing to the uncer-
tainties raised in connection with his
conviction. Organized American labor
favors this course, and, for high rea-
sons of state bearing directly on the
war, executive interference would be
fully justified. Mooney himself now
points out that were he to be pardoned
he could be tried again on another
count. At least, his execution should be
avoided, in view Of the doubt raised
as to his guilt.

Morris SUN: No newspaper worthy

ing on its absolute right to all the bust
ness of it's territory which it can han

rightly says the Hutchinson Leader.
Your local newspaper contributes more
for the public benefit in free advertis-
ing and boosting for worthy causes that
have for their object the upbuilding of
the community morally, intellectually
and commercially, than all other agen-
cies combined. Charged for at the reg
ular advertising rates it would amount
to hundreds-even thousands of dollars
a year, all given free, pro bono publico.
