DEMOCRACY

Great mother of a newborn race,
All earth shall be thy dwelling places
Democracy, thy holy name
Shall set the continents affame,
Shall thrill the islands of the sea-
And keep thy children ever free.
From Gods eternal universe
Shalt thou remove the primal curse
Which upon his felOw-man
Imposed since first the world began;
Away with slaves, deprived of rights
And ly-fngered parasites!
For thus the new-world purpose we
, Can, step by step, unfOlded see;
Columbus sailed, at Gods behest,
Fronm ands by wicked kings oppressed
His messenger to search the earth
And find the place for FdeedOm's BIRTH
Then up peerless Washington
With many another dauntless son,
Whose spirit caught beyond the blue,
EncOmpassed France, and Europe, too,
Until the purpose of the Lord
Was plainly written with the sword.
Out of it a-DemOcracy
The final word of Gods decree,
To carry out His cherished plan
Of peace on earth, good will to man.
Therefore, arise, we people, sing
This heaven-bO and glorious thing

PROPOSES BIG APPRO-
PRIATION.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 25.-Sen-
ator Edwin s. Johnson, of South Da-
kota, has introduced a bill looking to
the development of unused Indian

Of water power to make irrigation

cient money for the government
farming project.

a war measure and says its purpose
is to increase the food and forage
supply"

Sioux Falls, Jan. 25.-Notwith-
standing that he is worth between
$4,000 and 100000, Michael
Lamb, an aged resident of Trip
county, has been lodged in the Sioux
Falls pe~nitentiary under a sentence
of three and one-half years for the

Lamb was convicted several
months ago, but secured a stay OF
sentence so he could harvest his
crops. Then he applied for and was
granted another stay so he could
spend Christmas at home with his
family. He had applied for still an
other stay, but as the officers were
advised that he had been acting sus-
piciously during recent days, they de-
cided that he was preparing to leave
the country, so they took him into
custody and escorted him to the pen
itentiary. 1t Is reported that Lamb
already has taken steps to circulate
a petition asking that he be pardoned
and that in the near future this will
come before the state board of par
dons.

GERMAN BRUTALITY
Maj. MURPHY IN AN ADDRESS
TELLS OF WOES INFLICTED
ON CAPTORS.

New York, Jan. 25.-Warning of
the atrocities, horrible, brutal,
beastly and consistently official"
that American soldiers soon will be
suffering at the hands of Germany's
inhuman army, was voiced in an adj
dress here by Maj. Grayson NJ. P.
Murphy, formerly in charge Of the
American Red Cross work in France,
who returned to this country Sunday.
Mai. Murphy resigned from the Red
Cross to join the staff of Gen. Per-
shing.
II cannot describe the horrible
things that Germany has done to
women and children and the poor,
old suffering people in countries
where she has set her dreadful foot"
Maj. Murphy said. British officers
told of scores of wounded English
soldiers piled in heaps and then bonn
barded with hand %grenades. 1t will
be but a short time before our boys
are going to suffer those same things.
You have GO. to build and sacrifice,
no matter what it costs to beat that
beast"
Work of the Red Cross.
Building up the spirit of the peo-
pie behind the lines in Europe is the
great work of the Red Cross, the
speaker declared. Contributors to
the Red Cross in this country have
thus become one of the largest fac
tors in the war, he said.
up to this day Germany is victor
ious in this war" Maj. Murphy con-
tinued. Amy peace that is made on
the basis of today's conditions would
be practically a complete victory for
Germany and for the German idea.
Germany has lost nothing in this war
but blood. She has fought so far on
the territory of others. She has
drawn from the territory of others
vast supplies of materials and vast
sums OF money. She has had be-
tween 40, 900, 600 and $4,000, 600
people working for her for practical
ly no wage-really as slaves. She
has established her cursed hold on
Austria, on Turkey and on Bulgaria,
and she has at her feet murdered
Serbia and unfortunate Rumania.
War Must Not End To-day.
IF the war ended today with
France ruined in the north, Belgium
wrecked, with Great Britain fearful
ly damaged, with Russia crumbled
and disorganized and an absolute
prey to the devilish mechanism and
ingenuity of Germany, the world
would not have a chance to live eX-
cept as Germany said that world
should live. In time she would cross
the ocean and throw her great mill
tary and naval power against us. If
we can't beat her now, while fighting
with our allies, we can never eX-
pect to beat her single handed.
AN English woman told me that
when there was a threat of a German
invasion the women carried poison
about them to save themselves from
what they would face if German
troops landed"
