Down south the other day colored
man who was charged with crime
was tortured with redhot irons until
he confessed and then he was killed.
Who wouldn't confess if he had red hot
irons applied to his body? We talk
about, the atrocities of the Turks, but
shey have nothing upon the South when
if comes to torturing people, and having
tt winked at by tt e authorities. Even
Il nHgro, tho he may be poor and lg-
norant, is entitled to the protection which
she law is supposed to afford, yet he
seldom gets it, in the south, at least.
Cottonwood County Citizen.
All very fine, brother Churchill, and
Easy to say since you do not live in the
South Long Distance Fighters" Joe
Reynolds called the country editors.
Churchill is one of them. If our Bible
information be not twisted, the Christ
said something in his day to the same
fleet: ''And why beholdest thou the
note that is in thy brothers eye, but
oreceivest not the beam that is in thine
avn eye?'
Either how canst thou say to thy
brother, Brother, let me pull out the
mote that is in thine eye when thou
shyself beholdest not the beam that is
N thine own eye? Thou hypocrite!
cast out first the beam out of thine own
eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to
pull out the mote that is in thy brothers
eye" :
Mr.. Churchill in common with many
other editors of Minnesota fails to
Eft up his voice in condemnation of the
sutrages that have been practiced upon
dissenters in this country the past year.
In the very next item in his paper he
calls for all those whom he considers
dSsleyal to be dealt with Sin no uncertain
manner" and in the next column re-
cmmends treating those who refuse to
SIGHT because they have conscientious
ssrupIss just exactly the same as he
would treat a German spy. Justice for

Justice for the white man would sound
quite as well.

For moment the shipbuilder and
Johnson faced each other defantly over

fornian began:
"Now, let us see if you are doing this
for patriotism or profit, your boy or
money. If you aren't doing it for
money, why this insistence on profts?''
Baldwin-You can't keep corpora

Baldwin protested he was unfamiliar

"Name one," shouted Johnson.

A letter written by Charles Mehlin of
the Mehlin Piano Company Of New York
to VIM. J. Winkelmann of this city will
be of interest to New Ulm people and
for that reason, Mr.. Winkelmann handed
it over to the Review for publication.
It follows herewith:
My dear Mr.. Winkelmann:
In acknowledging the booklet which
you enclosed in your recent letter de-
scribing your beautiful City, impresses
itself forcibly upon me as what good
American citizens of German extraction
can accomplish in a Community that
they set out to establish and beautify.
In reading over this booklet, one is
Immediately impressed with the ancient
German spirit of tboroughness both in
business and educational lines. You
may we'll be proud of your City and
your ide2s Of municipal ownership Of
public utilities together with the schools
and hospitals which are so we'll described
in the booklet. @..7. @
It is natural should take an interest
in the immense Turner Hall which so
small Community as yours saw fit to
build as it further establishes the fore
sight of those interested in your City.
1t may be of interest to you to know
that Paul G.. Mehlin was one Of the
pioneers and founders of the Turn
Vereins in the United States, and in
1853 was the Champion Athlete Of the
United States. Furtk ermore, he was
the 18th man to enlist at the first call
for troops Of Lincoln, and established a
regiment of German speaking American
citizens who fought for the preservation
of the United States.
I think you should be fully acquainted
with these facts after having purused
your remarkable booklet, and if you
wish, Ir.should be pleased to send you
some original photographs which may
be of assistanceto you in your business
as well as in your Community which
you may return to me after you are
through with them.
Again congratulating you upon your
successful Community, / remain,
Yours very truly,
Charles Mehlin, Pres.

The story goes that Colonel Roosevelt

Saint Peter he asked if he could have
ten thousand soprano singers. The
reply was in the affirmative He then
asked for ten thousand alto singers and
was told lie could have those. Next he
asked for ten thousand tenor singers and
Saint Peter replied that be could have
those. Roosevelt thanked him and
started to turn away. Saint Peter
stopped him with: What about bass
singers?'

PROSPERITY BUILT ON VICE
Portuguese City of Macao Has Long
Been Known as the Monte Carlo
of the Orient.

Macao is said to be the most pros
porous bit of Portuguese territory in
the world. 1t is the famous Monte
Carlo of the Orient" where gambling
and considerable opium traffic have
their headquarters. Both these vices
are ones to which the Chinese are par
ticularly addicted, and Macao has be-
come great resort for the Weather
Chinese natives.
It lies on sandy peninsula. half
way on the trip between Hongkong
and Canton. The Portuguese acquired
it in the olden time when they were
the most daring explorers and traders
in the world. Their descendants I've
there still, but they have mingled and
intermarried with the Chinese until
what amounts to new race has been
produced in the native-born Portuguese
colony in Macao.
Macao is prosperous city, as most
capitals of the god of chance are wont
to be. Various gambling games are
played, but the favorite is fan-tan, over
which the Chinaman can develop an
apparently disproportiOnate amount of
excitement. In fan-tan. a number of
coins or counters are hidden under a
bowl, and the players bet on how many
will be left when the coins have been
counted off in tours. Simplicity can go
no farther, but it is possible to lose
as much money over this primitive
form of gambling as over the most
complicated variety known to the
West.
Chinese are the greatest gamblers
in the world. They will bet on any
thing from the weather to the weight
of a horse, whether they can afford
to lose or not. A wealthy Chinese
merchant will win and lose fortunes
with an air of philosophic nonchal-
ance, while the poorest coolies will
drop a weeks pay in ten minutes with
out permitting the impressive gravity
of his countenance to be married by
snything more than panied frown.

BIBLE WITHIN REACH OF ALL
May Be Well Described as the Most
Valuable and Cheapest Book
in the World.

The Bible is the most valuable and
the cheapest book in~the world. Its
value we all acknowledge, but did you
know that you could buy a complete
Bible of 1000 double pages for, 30
cents in Germany and II centsin Eng
land and the United States? And
copies of the New testament are sold
in England for penny apiece!
In the thirteenth century fine Eng
lish Bible cost EDO.
At that time the wages of laborer
were nine pence week. So to buy
Bible he must save his entire In
come for Is years.
Of course he didn't. He went to the
churches. where the precious volume
was chained to the desk to keep 1t
safe, and there he read the exciting
Old Testament stories or the beauti-
full Gospels, or more likely listened to
reader who was better educated
than he.
In those days the Bible was val
liable in every way. Today a work
man may buy the New Testament by
walking home one night instead of
taking the car, or giving up the potato
he had planned for his dinner.-From

Country Has Wool Surplus.

According to David Kirschbaum, Of
the National Retail Dry Goods associ.
alton, the available wool supply for
1918 is 1,260,0O0000 pounds. OF this
120,0OO0O0 pounds will be needed for
war purposes. The consumption OF
wool in 1917 was 6OO,00O,O0O pounds.
Therefore even if the demand of the
army and navy should be doubled and
even tripled there should still remain
a tidy excess for general purposes
observes the Milwaukee Sentinel, which
deplores the cry of a wool shortage
1t is pointed out that garments of all
sorts show falling off in the percen-
tage of wool, that yarn for knitting IS
scarce and the price higher, and that
clothing merchants are basing advice
to their customers to buy suits and
coats for next winter now, on the
prediction of further deterioration
of wooden fabrics and sharp iii
crease in prices.

EXPLAINING Turbine Engine.

"The best idea 1 can give Of II"
said an engineer, sis to ,liken 1t to
those paper windmills which spin on
the end of a stick and which are sold
to children in the streets. A turbine,
in fact, is like a series Of those re-
volving wheels Sxed one behind the
other, only instead of being turned by
the wind it is revolved by jets of
steam. The turbine wheels turn a
shaft inside a cylinder, in the In
terror of which are fixed a number Of
stationary blades which project into
the spaces between each wheel. The
purpose of these blades is to catch the
steam and direct it on to the wheels
at an angle where it will exert the
most force. AS the steam enters the
cylinder it is caught by the station
airy blades and DETECTED on to the
blades of the first wheel, which are
set turning. The steam then passes
to the next until all the wheels are set
whirling and the ship is driven through
the water"
