CARD OF THANKS.

We wish to express our most heart
felt thanks to all who with word and
deed have shown us their sympathy
since the sudden death of our be-
loved son and brother Enoch. We are
grateful to the Home Guards for
their assistance and the honor they
did our departed boy; to those who
sang and spoke, to the Willmar Band
for their fine instrumental music and
to the donors of the beautiful flowers.
May God bless you all.

country. Recently a charter of a ma

men identified with the bank had
failed TO do their full duty in sub

revoked the authority for the charter
and that set of men will not manage

WILSON 70 DO II ALL.

| Instead of strong war board Of
minister Of munitions which congress
had talked OF creating in order to ex-
pedite the business of war Presiden,
Wilson has forced thru the senate "a
bill which, it would seem, would be un-
constitutional If any law could be in
violation of the constitution in times
/, of war. 1t gives to him the power to
change, amend, repeal and actually Gre
Ute anew every department Of the pub
lie business heretofore always created
by law. 1t was opposed by twenty two
republicans in their efforts to limit the
powers conferred by amending it, but
when they failed fear of being consid-
cred obstructionists before a war meas
ure caused the most of them to vote
for the bill A few of the older and
more conservative constitutional law
yers OF the senate dared TO oppose it
to the last.
The bill assigns to some unknown
friends of the president, yet to be
selected, functions which have always
heretofore been exercised by congress
and could well be exercised by con-
gress today had the president any trust
or confidence in congress. In the hands
of strong executive like Roosevelt the
proposed extreme delegation Of legis-
lative power might help to win the
war, but President Wilson clearly needs
the aid and assistance OF vastly strong
er men than he has in his cabinet il
he is ever going to bring about eff
cheney in the conduct of this war and
congress could have helped him more
by creating a minister of munitions
with great power than by turning the
entire load of department detail over
to him.
The bill was the presidents own bill
sent to congress and passed because
as commander chief of the army and
navy in time of war he had asked for
it. 1t is another evidence of the presi-
dSHL = 10 MS gov
eminent with congress. His insistence
upon all power being placed in his own
hands is an acknowledgment Of his own
lack Of executive capacity. As Senator
Cummins saws of him. he seems to have
been the worlds greatest literateur in
this war capable of speaking the mind
of the nation as no other person could
express II. but he seems to be unable
to get much of anything done. Presi-
dent Wilson is too jealous Of his own
power and Importance. 1t causes him
20 get under too many loads which
should have fallen upon other shoulders
and the result is that nobody but he
does any lifting. He ought to cultivate
Andrew Carnegie, who attributed his
own success as a business executive to
his ability to surround himself with
men who knew more about the bust
ness than he did"

Topics Of the Times

The reason Iowa could subscribe a
hundred millions in liberty bonds in Il
day or two while the rest Of the ma
ton Is at 1t yet is that we had the
money. Our $4,000 automobiles cost
US twice that sum and they are merely
incidental to the war.
Another reason Iowa could draw its
check for its quota OF liberty bonds
to the extent Of hundred millions
was that her people had two hundred
millions more in their banks this
spring than they mad last fall They
are dividing $3.50 with Uncle Sam
what they get out Of the war.
Little Holland finally consented to an
unneutral act because she could not
help herself. If it were not for the
British navy standing between US and
the German beast the United States
would find Itself in the same helpless
humiliation. There was time when
We did not think that VS. needed to
prepare for war but none but boil
shevik would be proud Of that ignor-
ance now.
Who is going to train the women
who are going to be needed as nurses
in this war and when?
The present battle is killing off the
kaisers men fast enough but who is
doing anything TO proven. the kaiser
from winning over millions of Rus
sian soldiers to take their places?
AS the war begins to look more and
more like q long war and the military
commanders call for younger and
younger men IL Is not difficult to see
where the high schoo! cadets Of today
are going to land.

he would have to go through a tunnel

sort OF nest, but Mrs Kingfisher
liked It and so did the little Kingfish-

And just then. as Billy Bunny was
going to knock on the front door he
saw Mr.. Kingfisher drive head first into

a struggle rise with q silvery perch
wriggling in his great bill. But, oh.
dear me. That fish wiggled so hard
that Mr.. Kingfisher was obliged to hit
its head against limb of tree, and
after that the ash became very quiet,
and Mr.. Kingfisher carried It without
any trouble to his nest in the bank. And

and Mrs. Kingfeher and his children

OUTCRY AND PATRIOTISM.
TCedar RAPIDS GAgotte.1


It must have occurred to the readers
of newspapers that the patriotism OF
the population Of the large cities has
when bonds have been offered for sale,
when recruiting was being pushed for-
ward or when any other phase of war
work was in order.
The young men Of the smaller cities
and towns and of the country places
went quietly to the recruiting offices,
quietly enlisted and in the average case
as quietly left for camp or cantonment.
For them there was no costly parades.
no famous bands In gorgeous uniforms,
no grand stands for review erected at
street intersections and cross roads,
hardly the scream of fife or the throb
of drum to set time for their strides
as they left for the front. And the
smaller cities and towns and the coun-
try places went over the top" with
their men while Sousa, the marine
band, famous orators, noted singers,
movie stars and social climbers in cos
tunes especially designed stood on
the top in the great cities and vainly
coaxed their young men in proper num-
bers to come on.
The drive for the third liberty loan
again has shown the greater cities in
poor light--the lowlands of American
character. the unproductive waste
places of the national mind. Again the
most noted organizations of musicians
were sent: again the movie stars, de-
hected from their orbits OF the Aim,
were toured from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Great Lakes: again the glare of
colored lights lit up the streets for eve
ming demonstrations and this. time
equestriennes in the great circuses APP
peared in special costumes more noted
for their show Of customary flesh to
urge the people of Chicago to buy
bonds.
No bands or movie stars were sent to
country places, but the farmers went
over the top, while Chicago and ST
Louis in the west still pinch their
pockets and demand q cheer from the
whole nation every time they pledge a
dime.
1t Is possible that these cities have
not the financial ability to do their part
even probable that the men and
women who make garish show of
style are actually in many cases paup-
ers parading in costumes bought on
the installment plan. They have at
fected to put on airs to patronize
village folks and only designed TO sneer
at farmers and their wives-those who
in times OF stress take up their greater
burdens without lament and ask no
public celebration when their a..,;- Z;
performed.
