On October IL the king and queen of
the Belgians, together with the crown
prince, will be guests of Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Hill in St. Paul and, consequent
ly Louis is in a quandary. AS is we'll
known Louis is .strenuously opposed
to the wearing of a plug hat and could
never be persuaded to wear a "stove-
pipe," even by his wife. Mr.. Hill
knows full we'll that the king will
wear a silk hat to mass and that he
will be expected to accompany him.
A refusal to so do would be an out
rageous breach of etiquette, and to
escort the king to church wearing a
cap or cady would be very undignifed.
How are you betting? We are in
clined to the opinion that Louis will
don the silk lid despite running the
risk of being laughed at by his asso-
ciates. Of course he could feign sick
ness at church time and go to bed,
but that would be very ungentle-
manly act.

When will congress pass an immi-
grafton bill prohibiting the influx of
hordes of foreigners, and why has this
important matter been so long de-
layed? Measures were introduced
months ago closing our gates to for
eign immigration but, for some reason
or other, no action was taken. AS a
result immigrants are already arriving
in this country and, unless congress
passes prohibitory measure without
delay, this country will find itself
overrun with undesirables. AS the
Minneapolis Journal says editorially,
"Shut the gates! Integrate our popu-
lation! Conserve Americanism! Pre-
serve our American soul! We have
risked enough, let US henceforth take
care of our priceless heritage that it
may not be dissolved before our eyes.
Our children and their children are
more to- be considered than the hordes
clamoring at our doors. They can go
to the British colonies, to
vacant South America and Africa.
America for Americans and Americans
for America!"

We learn from authoritative sources
that the number of American soldiers
in Siberia is $500 and that there is no
indication of their return. Why we
should furnish men to assist this So
called government is incomprehensi-
BILE, but that does not alter the case
they are there in that Godforsaken,
frozen>region. While the boys are max
ing the best of the situation they are
opposed to being kept in country
with which we are not at war and for
a purpose they did not enter the army.
Every newspaper in the United States
should take this matter up and de-
mand that the men be sent home.
Then, perhaps, War Lord Baker would
see the error of his bullheaded ways
and order the boys home. Let Kol-
chak protect his own territory. It is
none Of our business.

The Coming Census.

The supervisor of census in this dis
trict, Rev. G. Wahland, informs us
that he is ready to receive applications
for enumerators. Any citizen, man or
woman, over IS and under 20 years
of age, having an ordinary education,
active and trustworthy, is eligible to
appointment. Ten enumerators will
do the work in Mile Laos county. The
government pays for the work. Ap-
plications should be in before October
Is. Those who figure on this job
should write at once to G. Wahlund
Supervisor Of Census, Anoka, MINI
He will send all information, blanks

Were the various departments of
government to pay the country papers
for their advertising they would reap
better results and save money. AS it
is country papers receive great guam
titles of stuff marked t'news" which
they are expected to publish free of
charge, but the most of it is not pub
lished at all. Country newspapers are
liberal with their space, but to expect
them to run scores Of long -winded
articles free of charge is asking al
together too much.

Colonel Harvey: General Pershing
has said number of good things
since his famous epigram at Petit
Picpus, but mono better than that in
his little speech to the American le-
gion in which he warned that body
against "becoming a political tool in
the hands of political aspirants," and
urged instead that the legion should
become "a school Of patriotism by fos-
tering those things which are near
and dear to us as having come down
to us by our forefathers." There are,
happily, still those who remember the
divine prohibition against removal of

To communicate with the people of
Mars, planet which is doubtless in
habited, may seem impossible, but,
when we take into consideration the
fact that many so-called "impossibili-
ties" have been successfully repudiat-
ed during the past quarter of a cen
fury, we should not be too hasty in
arriving at conclusions. Lea Stevens,
aerial instructors at Fort Omaha. an
nounces that he will go $4,000 feet
into the clouds in an especially con-
structed balloon this fall and will en-
deavor, by means Of a signal appara-
tus perfected by Professor Todd to
get into touch with the people of ou1
nearest inhabited planet, Mars. With
the aid of powerful telescopes now in
use astronomers have made a map OF
Mars, showing it's canals, which they
feel confident are the works of man
Otherwise, who constructed them ?
There are people so narrow minded
that they believe this little two-by-
four earth Of ours to be the only
planet inhabited in the great uni.
verse which God created, when in fact
this little sphere is a mere fyspecl
in comparison with other, worlds. W.
may not live to see the day, but we
believe that in the progress Of time
communication will be established
probably by electrical devices, be

A resolution adopted by the veter-
ans Of the civil war at their annual en-
campment at Columbus, Ohio, con-
dennis the league of nations covenant
and sets forth that the G.. A. R. is
opposed to entanging alliances, hold
ing that this country is not concerned
with the internal policies Of Europe,
Asia and Africa. It declares against
surrender of American independence

as a rider to the peace treaty. The

mean. 80

Belgium is short on cats but long
on mice and is in hope that her fairy
grandmothers, England and France"
will send felines to supply the want.
The United States could send over a
hundred shiploads of cats and they
would never be missed. American
cats are, as a rule, accustomed to
such high living that they are too lazy
to catch mice, but they will sneak
around and devour the young birds
as they emerge from their nests in
the old apple tree or the shrubbery.
Why not send million to Belgium?

Of csurse the greetings rendered
President Wilson by the people who
have gathered to see and hear him are
largely due to the high office which
he holds, and the apparent enthusiasm
is not evidence that the mass of the
people agree with his views on the
league of nations. In this connection
is is significant that Senators Johnson
and Borah were more enthusiastically
received than the president and by
larger assemblages.

Now those chaps over there who are
trying to frame things up so that not
more than a dozen martial conflicts
may be in operation at any one time,
say that the peace conference will sit

question arises whether peace is not
worse than war.

Why America is Worth Saving.

Why America is Worth Saving.
eve have no classes in America"
said DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, in
his address at the auditorium "There
is no barrier of class between a man
and his fellows in this country" Yet
hardly a day passes that some one is
not demanding" something for him
self or his supposed class. These de-
mands when backed by force are Prus-
sianism, whether in Germany, Russia
or America. -.
The name of democracy, like many
noble words, has high and good
meaning and also dubious and dam
aged meaning 1t has had a double
pedigree. So far in her history Amer
lea has stood for the highest meaning
of democracy She has demonstrated
that representative government is
practical, and she has guaranteed to
every individual the inalienabla rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. A high quality Of idealism
has been the glory Of our nations his
tory.
One has to but follow the stnry of
the Italian republics or episodes in the
French revolution to see that democ-
racy has not always had this high
meaning. And Russia today gives; the
world type of low and dubious de-
'mocracy. She has merely substituted
the rule Of some thirty men for the
rule Of one man, and it makes little
difference whether liberty is crushed
by the master, the mob or the oligar-
chy. In either case freedom is lost and
rule of the majority abrogated.
If Americans continue to spell labor
and capital in big letters, and fail to
realize that all citizens are workers to-
gether, and human beings first Of all,
there is real danger that democracy
here will become chaos and the ship of
state go to pieces on the rocks of self
ishness If America cannot stop her
own industrial wars and internal strife
she is in poor business posing before
the world as peacemaker and media
tor. The selfishnesses of classes is
the greatest danger to the United
States today.
It is the glory of America that she
has lifted democracy out of it's lowest
terms into higher forms of liberty, CO.
operation and idealism. Every loyal
citizen must cherish this vision and be
willing to sacrifice as much in every
day civic life as he proved himself
wiling to sacrifice in the time of the
war crisis. America is worth saving,
because she has stood for the highest
form of democracy in the world.
Democratic republicanism in this coun-
try has been both practical and ideal
istic, and it must remain so.-Minne-
apolis Journal.

RED CROSS
THE GREATEST MOTHER
STILL CALLS.

In response to an urgent call from
Herbert Hoover, head of the Europ-
can relief administration, the Ameri-
can Red Cross is to hold, during the
week of March 24-3l, a country wide
campaign for the collection OF used
clothing, shoes, and blankets in be-
half of the millions of men. women
and children freed from the German
yoke"
1t is hoped to secure 10000 tons OF
used artices by this means.
Complete details are now on the
way to Chapters of the American Red
Cross, which are urged to perfect
their organization plans immediate
ly in order to effect the success Of
the drive.
The American Red Cross has con-
tracted to produce knitted garments
before June, to help meet the ex-
treme need OF clothing among the des-
titute of Europe. Because of the
fact that this work is done in the
homes, it is practically impossible
to gliage the production in different
places. and no quotas have been
assigned
Every Chapter OF the Red Cross is
called upon to contribute to the full
extent of its ability. Definite direc-
tons for the knitting are now being
distributed.
More than 100000 canteen servic-
es were performed in the United
States during the month of December
by the American Red Cross. The ser
vice was instituted for the purpose OF
providing comforts for the Army and
Navy men i'll transit. OF these ll9.309
were rendered br workers in the Pa
cific Division.

quota. Last year we were assigned
the enormous sum of S2,5Ol 100 50. or
about 6S percent Granting the fact
that interest is not so keen as before
the armistice was signed, we ought to
be able easily to raise our smaller
quota in 1919.
Another fact to our advantage is
the new scheme of combining Liberty
Loan with War Savings credits. Last
year, Nevada over subscribed everv
loan from fifty to 100 percent.
These over subscriptions, if they
could have been credited against our
w. 5. 5. sales, would have put them
too away over the top.

out the state are organizing for an in
