present as the principle speaker, with
all Victory Loan workers in their
places, and with inspiring music by

and Bernaillo county in their success
full fight to go over the top. Briefly
the chief executive of the state re-
viewed the reasons for Americas en-
trance into the war at the critical
time when England, France and italy
We're at hay and all but defeated. He
praised the magnificent work of the
American soldiers in France and
Flanders.
No Parallel to Treaty.
Expressing the hope that all of the
American soldiers now on foreign soil
would soon be home, the governor was
emphatic, however, in declaring that
he did not wish that the men now in
the service abroad to return before
the German government had been
compelled to sign, seal and deliver
the treaty that had been handed to
them at the Paris conference.
In all recorded history there is no
parallel to the present treaty making
conference" declared the governor
"After every other war the victors
and the vauquished have sat down to-
Eether at the peace table. In this war
Germany has been placed apart as a
criminal would be. The treaty has
been handed to the Germans to sign.

tions, but as criminals receiving a
sentence"
Governor Lartazolo asked his audi

war has been won abroad, there is
another fight to be fought at home
He brought forth vigorous applause
when he declared that Bohshevism
must be crushed in America.
Must Crush Boishevism.
There is no room in this country

The governor was enthusiastically
applauded during the speech and was
given an ovation at its conclusion, be-

Washington, May t0--The fifth and
last popular war loan of the United
States has been oversubscrihed.
Although the approximate total
subscriptions will not be known for
nearly two weeks, figures available
tonight showed that the American
people had@ responded generously 10
the appeal to finish the Job.
Like all of its predecessors, the VIC
tory Loan suddenly jumped the last
day of the campaign above the mark
set as its limit The day brought an
avalanche OF subscriptions which
banks could not attempt to count un-
I'll next week. None of today's har-
vest was included in the total of 81 :
S49.62S.000 subscriptions officially
tabulated tonight by the treasury ana
officials would not be surprised to see
the final figures go to nearly six bill
lions. Only $4,000, 900, 600 VIII be ac-
cepted
No Doubt. Says Glass.
Late today Secretary Glass issued
this statements:
while official reports to the .rca-
sury today show only $3.Sf9.63S,nn0
subscribed up to noon, unofficial adj
vices from the districts indicate that
without any doubt the Victory lab
ertv loan IS already largely over-sub-
scribedi with every district making
determined effort to gather in every
possible subscription before midn 'ght.
Thus for the fifth time the coun.
try has met thn call OF the treasiiry
department for the funds required and
the great Liberty Loan organization
he's once again p'oved, It's metal"
The only guage bv which officials
could ATTEMPT to estimate subscrlp-
ttons not yet tahulated was provided
hv the record of tho Fourth Liberty
loan when S2,392.000. 600 was report
ed after the subscription drive had
cea sod.
Three Districts Over
Official figures tonight showed that
the Minneapolis St. Louis and CIeye-
land districts had alread. raised more
than 100 per cent and the Chicago
district reported that its quota had
certainly reached that mark although

Alas, the iron in Minnesota's great
war governor has rusted badly these
days. In his message to the legislature
he demanded changes in the primary law
which would keep the farmers and labor
men from stealing his party. The legis-
lature has all but passed a bill which
kills the primary for state officers and
so meets his demand exactly. But
that raises a frightful lot Of mischief
of another kind. He fears the people
still like the primary and do not wish
to go back to the old convention vomit
So now he has cold feet and month after
the primary-killing bill passed the house
declares that it is more than he had in
mind. And now a whole flock Of ma
chine editors has assembled in the Cap
ital City to strengthen his backbone in
wrongdoiug, or, to carry out our first
comparison, to putt little iron into his
system.

unavoidable that the German Americans
in this country had to carry a double
burden. Very true, but it was necessary
to triple and quadruple this burden
by the infamous propaganda Of de
nunciation, by the killing Of an limo
cent man like Prayer, by the most
unscrupulous persecution and by con-
stantly calling their whole race Huns
and barbarians, which is still. done
by some Of our English-owned news
papers. The day will come and let
us hope, it is not very far away that
the American people again will remember
the high civilizing value of the work
done by their brethren Of German descent
and will be ashamed Of many things
which have been committed during the
exciting days Of the war.

AmeYs;c o1als7,a a la Shel.

The Lamberton Star spouts in its
last issue some more Of it's Nso-called
Americanism and the editor proves again
that he has not the faintest idea what
Americanism stands for. This time
he takes occasion to tell his readers
that State Food Administrator Wilson
acted without authority When he told
the people at Glencoe that the money
donated by force to the Red Cross
by the farmers should be returned,
that there was not the slightest excuse
for his action, and that he should be
ashamed of his action.
We have always been lead to believe
that it was one of the finest qualities
in the American citizen to admit his
errors and mistakes when he made them
and to make just reparation There
is absolutely no question that wye
exceeded his authority when they forced
farmers to haul their wheat whether
1t was few pounds or hundred bushels
to the elevators and turn over the whole
OF the proceeds or a large portion there
Of to the Red Cross.
It has been the policy of certain
ultra patriots to call and brand disloyal
everyone whose name happened to be
of German origin. Unfortunately the
most Of the successful farmers in this
section of the state are Germans or of
German descent. Because they had
some wheat, varying in most cases
from few pounds to less than so
bushels in their granaries, they were
Immediately called hoarders, bounded
as outlaws and robbed. Fellows of
the stripe Of Schei should be thankful
that there are so many Woodworking
Germans in this country because with
out their assistance such as Schei might
starve to death.

The Won 1t Works.

There is CONSERVATION in financial cir
cles over the wholesale embarkation from
our shores to foreign lands. According
to the dispatches, more than million
have already left and the end is not in
sight. Each emigrant sells his entire
holdings in America and leaves never
to return but this is not what worries
the money powers. What troubles them
is the fact that each one of them takes all
the cash with him, an average Of $500.
apiece to some European country.
Everybody is asked to use his best en-
deavors to check this wholesale deser-
ton which has almost reached the pro-
portions of an exodus.
Is it to be wondered at that people who
had been maligned and mistreated and
told to get out if they did not like what
was being done here should take the
first opportunity to get away from their
prosecutors? Refusing them citizenship
because they preferred to surrender their
first citizens papers rather that take
part in a war they did not approve may
be one Of the reasons that some OF them
are making all haste to get away from
America.
Possibly. the Judges Of the state were
right in the stand they took, and possibly
it is right to malign those who did not
see things as America saw them, but
if that is the case, these "undesirables'
should be allowed to leave without him
drance or importantly. But Of course,
that means some financial loss to the coun-
try and we are beginning to count the
dollars and cents once again, now that
we see some of them slipping away from
us. It is also possible that we may have
been sowing the wind and are now reap
ing the whirlwind. .+
According to the report OF the Tax
Payers Committee of Moorhead, this
state, the municipality owned water and
light plant has contributed to the city
funds during the past year more than
$4,000. 1t was able to do this at 8
cents per kilowatt hour to private citl-
zens and 2 cents for street lights. These
results are largely due to the efficient
management by committee OF local
business men who give their services to
the city free of charge. The results from
our municipality owned electric light and
water plant are gratifying, no doubt, but
we believe that even better returns could
be obtained if the affairs of this depart
ment were handled by commission
whose personel would not change every
year as is now the case.

Official paper of City Of New Ulm.
Wednesday, April Is, 1919.

It has often been SAID that many of
our so-called great American news
papers do not always stick to the truth
in their reports about present day hap
penings, either political or otherwise, but
that they have lost all sense OF honor
and that they are unscrupulous IN
publishing bare-faced lies Of any sort.
This attitude seems to be an hereditary
bad habit with our organs OF publicity
the reasons for which are known to
everybody, but which it is not necessary
to enlarge upon at this time. Today
we only wish to recall what James
Fennimore Cooper wrote about seventy
years ago about these intentional fall
sifications of the press Of his day.
We read: Zone of the most astonish-
ing circumstances of the times is the
general predominance Of lying among
us. No matter how large the evidence
may be, contradicting a certain state
ment, or how often the latter may have
been refuted, it will be repeated with
the same boldness as if never anything
had been said and it will be believed
as if it's contents never had been refuted.
I am convinced that nowhere in the
whole world is it more difficult to make
the truth known to public opinion If
there is some motiveto suppress it, as in
our country. This may seem strange
if we remember how many papers are
in existence published for the exact
purpose of disseminating news. But
unfortunately, the whole machinery
which may be used for the dissemination
of truth, with the same effect may be
used for the spreading of lies. Further
more, added to these bare-faced lies
there is the manifold possibility of
weakening the truth, making it very
probable to any mind that of twenty
different facts making the rounds in
the reports of the press with the except
ion of common news items, not one is
true in all it's essential details. 1t
requires so much honest intention,
such high differentiating ability,
such fine conscience and, not seldom,
such a degree of self-sacrifice to say
nothing but the truth that we cannot
expect the irresponsible agents who
sign these articles to possess quality
of character which we so seldom find
in the responsible editors
Again, Cooper says: 'Here you see
the curse OF this country pointing
to a bunch of papers on the table,
GAS long as people believe what they
find in there they cannot be anything
but men who are deceived or scoundrels."
'But,'' someone remarks, ''there is
something good in the papers" ''That, !"
continues the speaker, "only makes the
curse bigger. If they contained moth
ing but lies the world would soon re-
ject them. But how few are able to
distinguish the truth from the untruth?
Jefferson said that if he had to choose
between a government without papers
and papers without a government he
would choose the latter. But Jefferson
certainly did not speak Of papers as
they are today. I am old enough to

see the change which has taken place.
At his time three or four lies clearly
proven as such would have made an
editor impossible. Nowadays there are
people who keep standing erect midst
thousands Of lies. :
And what would Cooper and Jefferson
say if they could return and see the
demoralized American press Of our
day! u

No matter what we may think of
A. Mitchell Palmer's actions as Enemy
Property Custodian we must certainly
give him credit for his firm stand against
the wishes of some of the so-called
patriotic organizations such as the
American Protective league and the
National Security league. One of his
first acts as Mr.. Gregory's successor
in the office of Attorney General was to
tell these elements they need not bother
about continuing their work Of denun-
citation. It is a blessing to the whole
country that it is saved from further
prosecutions by these sycophants who
had no regard for the most sacred
rights of the Individual as well as of our
families. It is a double blessing now
because the disappearance of their
club will have good effect on the sue
cessful outcome Of the coming Victory
loan.
