mashed men, crippled men, blind men,
brave men, weak men, strong men,

We have all kinds of boys to treat

been shot with shrapnel, some by
bullets, which enter in one side and
burst within the body, tearing out
the flesh, the stomach, the bones. and
the men die in agony untold. Some
have lost arms, others legs. and some

AT THE WRONG END OF THE ROPE

A H. Terrell, formerly of The Tribune, sounds the
following timely warning in letter to the editor this
week.
During the past week have heard
remark that Minnesota will be carried at the next cleo
ton by the Non-Partisans and Minnesota is going to
get jolt than North Dakota has received
In talking with those making the foregoing statement
find they base their assumption the fact that the
business and those who have the best interests of
Minnesota at heart, not making concerted effort to
fight this great They say that Minnesota is
making the mistake that we did in North Dakota
viz: Give them and they will hang themselves

the rope but the has been thrown around
the taxpayer and the innocent party and they the
being hung while the guilty is pulling the
other of the rope. Now if the taxpayer of Min
nesota don't take hold of the pulngend of the rope
and put the around the necks of Townley and his
henchmen they going to get worse hanging than
we have in North Dakota.

opinion Dakota will the scourge

Too many serge suits and not enough overalls.
Too much decollete and not enough aprons.
Too many satin-upholstered limousines and not

Too much envy of the results of hard work and too
