OUR PART.

4 S we go about our daily tasks in peace and
~ safety men are dying every minute on
the battlefelds of Europe to save civil
ization. Our own gallant soldiers are shedding
their blood in France and sailors are engulfed
in the waters of the Atlantic as they go in de-
fense of Americas rights and honor. Upon our
performance of the work committed to de-
pends the lives of thousands of men and women,
the fate of many nations, the preservation of
civilization and humanity itself; and the more
efficient and prompt we people of America are
in doing our part, the more quickly will this
war come to an end and the greater the number
of our soldiers and sailors who will be saved
from death and suffering and the greater num-
Der of the people Of other nations released from
bondage and saved from death. To work, to save
to economic, to give financial support to the
government is duty of the nation and to the
world and it is especially duty to our fighting
men who on land and sea are offering their lives
for their country and their countrymen.-St. Peter
Herald.

CLASSES, RIGHT AND WRONG.

"HE basis on which the Nonpartisan League
is built is class feeling. The measure OF
it's growth and power will depend on just
how far the League leaders able to stir up
and keep alive class feeling. The farmer must
be persuaded to think, not an American citl-
zen, but as one of class. So with socialism as
a political creed. So with the I. w. w. class
feeling is the fundamental doctrine of these
1r rovements in practice, whatever the theory may
re.
There are classes in the United States, but

). Glasses in this Country are not divided
by o.4-s..tal lines, but by vertical ones They
are not based on occupation, or money, or even
ability. They are based character, integrity,
the proper performance of patriotic duty. And
every man as individual has the power to
choose for himself what class he will be in.
There theving capitalists in the United
States, men who are taking advantage OF the
Country's need to make themselves still richer.
But there are also thieving working men who,
to secure for themselves higher wages, take just
the same unfair advantage, reduce the quality
and quantity Of their work, and seriously retard
the progress of industries essential to the Gov
ernment. There are storekeepers who take ad-
vantage of patriotic food movements to make
an extra profit, and there are farmers who would
like nothing better than to get every nickel they
possibly can for their products, regardless of
the consumer, the war, the Country or anything
else except their own private personal welfare.
There are politicians who are prepared to sacri-
flee the Countrys good for their own prefernlent,
and there are benevolent friends of the farmer
or friends of the workingman,' who would scorn
the name of politician, but who are prepared to
make just the same sacrifice for the same end
These form one class in the United States In

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN.
(By Hamlin Garland)

The downfall of Russia must be taken an
enormous extension of the power of Germany.
The war is not only to be prolonged, it is to be
values in military affairs must again be dis
carded for new ones All estimates of loans and
credits must be once more expanded. The burden
which wealth must bear will be increased on a
scale commensurate with the territory
acquired by the Kaiser.
The time is sure to come when there will be a
conscription of incomes just there is a con-
scription of human flesh and human skill, and in
the meantime we should count ourselves fortu-
nate in that our Government is willing to pay
us fair rate of interest for voluntary loan.
The least we can do is to take up these bonds as
fast as they are offered, thus showing that we
are not waiting for a chance to take advantage
of the Nations greater need.
All of US, rich and poor, must share in this
Third Liberty Loan or we will find ourselves face
to face with forced contribution. My own feel
ing is favorable to a loan without interest. The
President can quite as logically call upon capital
to lend it's aid as to call upon labor to grant lis
skilled cooperation.
The struggle has now become Titanic. We must
meet it in the spir. of patriots. Thus far we
have not felt the miseries of War in the slight
est degree No real sacrifices have been required
of us. All that the government asks of US at
present is the privilege of paying US per cent
for our money. Surely we should give all we
can spare at this rate-in the hope that The
forced loan may not be necessary.

The common talk among men and women, who
should be ashamed not to know better, that our
camps and cantonments are breeding places ct
vice and immortality. This is wicked and hear
less falsehood. If our young men are taken cap
tive by the devil, it usually takes places before
not after enlistment. A unanimous and convinc-
ing witness comes from all really authoritive
sources that military discipline, supported by
and accepted in spirit of true patriotism is

w TE have laws IN this country Tor the pur-
M pose of Furnishing disloyalty, as well as
w other things.
If man is not loyal the courts can take care
of him, and will if they given a chance.
What we are driving at is that there is no
need of individuals, be their standing high or
low, taking the law into their own hands.
For instance, the treatment of Bigelow was a
disgrace to the state in which it occurred
All mob violence, all lynchings, disgrace.
The fact of the matter is that the who
takes the law into his own hands is disloyal
as the man whom he would punish.
The safety of a state depends upon the loyal
ty that its citizens show towards it's laws. That
state will not long endure that does not have
loyalty shown its laws by the people who are
to live under them.
In a community the safety of all is no greater
than the safety of each. If one man can be sub
iected to a mob interference than another
The only way to have a safe community is to
have community that will not tolerate any
kind of mob rule mob violence.
Almost every community has its disloyal peo-
pie. Some of them through sense, or fear, keep
their mouths shut, others "shoot off"
To offer personal violence to these people is
but to become guilty of disloyalty towards the
laws of the state which provide ample punish
ment in all such cases.
When man sets up to be judge, jury and
sheriff, all by himself, when tries, con-
victs and Furnishes his neighbor, all according
to his own notion of how the thing should be
done, he is undermining every principle of civil
ization
Humanity has been trying to get away from
the brute for all these centuries. 1t has been
trying to establish form of government that
would deal justly and fairly with all.
1t has not succeeded, except in limited way.
But the success attained has always been j
proportion to the distance that it has been given
to travel away from the brute idea Of punish
ment according to the individual notion.
That is the thing that the world is fghtin>
against today.
Germany has come upon the world stage as
terrible beast, devilish brute, that thinks and
talks and acts if it alone were all that there
is to be considered upon this earth.
Germany disregards the laws of nations. 1t
tramples on the rights of individuals, it robs
it steals, it enslaves, it murders. 1t disregards
all laws, all treaties, all agreements.
In the world-community of nations, Germany
is a mob.
The savages that ravished, killed and scalped,
in the early days of the settlement of this coun-
try, were children in the art of brutality when
compared with the German soldiers
This is the kind of thing that the world is
fighting.
And this thing is the idea that member
Of the family Of nations can set itself up as a
dictator and terrorize the whole world-commu-
nifty.
The criminal is an enemy of society. Ger
many stands today, before the world, as the
arch-enemy of human society.
Il is for this reason that the nations of the
world are fighting her. 1t is for this reason
that her downfall is fought for and prayed for
oil over the world.
