THE JAMESTOWN MEETING

The meeting held in jamestown Saturday, at
tended principally by residents of North Dakota
of German birth or ancestry, has attracted great
deal of attention thruout the country. The object
of the meeting was to make a public demonstration
of, and to put on record the fact that American
citizens of German descent are loyal to the United
States of America. 1t was clearly seen in the
proceedings of the meeting that this is no time
for hyphenated Americansm !; that no matter what
tender sentiments or family ties and past tradi-
tions may attach to the Fatherland in the minds
of men and women Of German ancestry, the time
has come to efface such feelings, if they conflict
for a single instant with the duty and loyalty of a
citizen of this country, to this government
The meeting emphasized this position by re-
pudiating the work of the German propagandists
in the United States; by calling attention to the
support by Germans, of the principles Of democ-
racy and cause of freedo min the war of rebellion !;
by pledging wholehearted support for the Red
Cross, Liberty Loan and other war purposes.
The German citizens of North Dakota at the
Jamestown meeting have set the pace for all their
friends of similar nationality thru the country,
as well as for those Of other natonalities and have
placed themselves in position to receive the re-
spect and credit of every other loyal American
citizen.
The fight for the principles of free govern
ment is not alone against the Kaiser, as a repre-
sentative of German autocracy backed up by mill
tary power, but wherever such despotic power is
exercised in whatever form or on whatever pre-
text, in what nation in the World-this, as well as
any other.-Jamestown Alert.

MAKE NORTH DAKOTA SAFE

There are certain undercurrents of thought
and feeling and action among the people of our
neghborng states and the east that arc not doing
North Dakota any good. There are vague whis-
perings about our states credit, and remarks
made in an undertone about sinking land values,
and now and then yelled suggestion about ways
that are queer in the political and legislative &C
tivity of the state. 1t may be that we who are
citizens of the state and know her strength and
her weakness do not share these sentiments about
our state, but it is enough for US to know that
the outside world harbors them. And it matters
not whether these complaints that are thus made
are imaginary ills, or real ones, the harm is equally
great. Many man has weakened his constitution
by imaginary ills and made it difficult to resist the
attacks of real illness when it comes on. state
is not less sensitive to the corrodng influence of
persistent discrediting talk than physical health
will suffer from pessmistic fear of illness. And
so will state suffer from anything that has a
tendency to create unfavorable talk or repel i'm
migration or investment, We know that in every
thing that is required for the building up of a
great industrial state North Dakota has the re-
sources in fertility, climate, natural deposits and
IN youthful strength and vigor but it takes more
than those things to make prosperity and happ-
ness. 1t takes sound political and industrial de-
velopment. Let us wake up to this fact and make
North Dakota safe for democracy industry and
Let us join hands and heads and
hearts, everyone from the ranks of every business
and industry and occupation, in making North
Dakota great in industry and occupation, in MAX
ing North Dakota great in industry great in pros
perity, and great in happiness. County

Ole Norby is re-in1migrant from Norway.
He is not the only one in our farming states but
Just now his experience teaches a valuable lesson.
Ole got into the "meting pot" and did not melt be-
cause refractory alloy was present. He has
been through the mill. The alloy is finally re-
moved He will assay high when the testing time
comes.
Ole Norby was a Dakota farmer whose eyes
and thoughts turned back to "the old country.
"'Thc old country" was the alloy that prevented his
full appreciation of America and American cltl-
zenship. Finally his dream came true. He realized
his ambition. He sold his farm and went back to
the old country which he had always so fondly
remembered.
Ole Norby's ideal did not materialize. He dis
covered two sides to the picture and he had been
looking at only one. He has come back to Amer
lea. He was fortunate enough to buy back his
old farm-at an advance Of only $40 an acre. He
lost this difference, two years time and the ex-
pcnse of the trip but balancing up the account,
Ole wins. Now he knows where he is going and
why. He knows the value Of American citizen
ship as few natives do. He realizes that, 1.-The
United States is the best country in the world
There has been considerable talk of deporting
unnaturalized aliens Ole Norbys case suggests
that an enforced vacation or provisional exile
might be more efficacious. Ole Norby will be a
100 per cent American as soon as the courts will
pcrmit.--St. Paul News.

send you this little clipping from
a newspaper on the subject of the
death of an American who has died
in neighboring city:
Saint7Maixent.-Dea for France.
Last Thursday at 1890 there was
celebrated at Saint Maixent the obse.
quies of a young cadet of the Amer
lean aviation. Richard Walter Blair,
quite recently arrived from the Unit
ed States, and suddenly taken off by
malady contracted in the service.
The honors were rendered by a de.
tachment of American troops. A
guard in arms escorted the bier,
which was covered by the starry flag.
The automobile gun carriage which
served as a funeral car, was spread
with fresh flowers. The certege de-
parted from the temporary hospital,
turned toward the cemetery, receiving
upon its passage the marks Of pro-.
found respect and kindly feeling of
the civil population.
The funeral was conducted by It..
Col. Rubatton. commandant of the
American center. of instruction, and
by Lt.-Col. Rousson,, commandant Of
the center of instruction, Of cadets OF
our military school of infantry, who
attended under command Of Captains

te:tives Of the municipality, Messrs.
Boutin, mayor; Proust, assistant;
Castor Deschamps, acknowledgement
of Deux-Sevres; Brocas, principal of
the college, etc., etc.

the last prayers at the graveside, and
had given an address vibrant of patri.

bly, retired, moved to the depths Of
the heart by the premature death of
the young soldier who had come from

the liberties of the world, and who
will repose henceforth in the ground
of France, in a tomb guarded by our
faithful and grateful remembrance.

THE HUNGER PERIL

"America is in danger Of starvation in the
next IL months"
That is the statement OF the president OF Hoi.
nell university made recently d. '''e university
farmers week program
"Of all the great problems Of this colos-
Gal world war; President Schurman added,
"the food problem is now the most lmpor-
tant Man power can be raised by COZ
scription up to the point of exhaustion: Inc
allied lines from the North sea 10 o"ltzer-
land are piled high with munitions which
thc output of French, British and Amerl-
can factories is constantly augmentlng.
But everywhere the supply Of food IS Inn
tied, and beyond a very narrow margin you
see the edge of an inferno of starving ma
tons ..o,,
"Yet no problem Of the war is so much
misunderstood The simple question is
this Can we keep our own and our allied
soldiers and civil population from starv-
ing? 1t is not all question OF price: IL
is solely question of supply.
And this is what Herbert Hoover United
States food administrator, says:
"The food situation OF the world must
steadily degenerate as long as the war lasts.
1t is therefore of prime Importance to add
every item to the total production Fur
thermore our overtaXed railways, which
must continue to be greatly relieved if we
have a larger area of gardens planted than
last season..
this wolf of hunger from this nations doorstep,
from the trenches of our soldiers and from the
homes and camps OF our allies
They are:
Conservation of food in every home and res
taurant, more careful and efficient conservation
than we have been practicing.
Increased production of food on every farm
and in every garden.
Every foot of ground which can produce food
must be cultivated, and no bit of food should be
wasted, in distribution, in the kitchen or at the
table.
Sufficient farm labor must be supplied, even If
all non-essentia employments be discontinued.
Recruiting for farm labor must be taken as seri-
ously as recruiting for army or navy. But it must
not stop there.
Men, women and children must enlist as gar
den volunteers. BY growing a large percentage of
our food near our kitchen doors we release other
acres for livestock, wheat corn Not only that,
but we relieve the railroads of a heavy load of
vegetable hauling.
Last, but not least, when considered from the
famys viewpoint, the cost OF living is lowered
if there's garden in the backyard-and poultry
house!

WITH THE EDITORS


If Townley and his aides, such as Gilbert and
Others were really honestly loyal Americans
would they be engaged at this time in sowing
seeds of dissenson and disturbance in such whole
sale manner? We believe the verdict of the dis
passionate reader and observer will be that men
who take this time to pursue such course are not
heart and soul for the United States and it's sue
cess in this greatest Of struggles for human lib
erty Their entire attitude condemns them

WORTH WHILE TO SETTLE 1T

The legislature of the Empire State refuses to
ratify the national prohibition amendment but,
instead, proposes to submit the matter to popular
referendum, next fall, the main argument for such
action being that the amendment was submitted
after the present leg islature was elected.
Referendum on such an important matter is al
ways good democratic doctrine, and it is likely that
New York's example will be followed by a number
of state legislatures before which the amendment
will be submitted at an early date
This amendment matter is the most important
of the purely domestic matters that the nation
has got to handle. In such states as New York,
Ohio and California, for instance, wherein ratifi-
cation by the necessary number Of states means a
decided reimbursement of business and la Dor inter-
ests, the people should have an opportunity to ex-
press themselves directly decidedly and without
the slightest doubt as to their desires.
We mean that in this amendment is opportun-
ity to settle the liquor question for good and all,
without equivocatlon, and it is well worth the
while Of any commonwealth to make it the special
and only issue in campaign for selection of state
assemblymen, rather than leave it to legislators
elected on good roads, canal improvements, pork"
and the other ordinary issues. g. s...
10 be sure, liquor campaign" has come to be
looked upon by great many Of the people as one
OF the horrors of American politics. But decision
on this amendment will be a decision that will
stick, and there should be not the slightest doubt
as to where the people stand if we love our democ-
racy as we profess
