TWO PATRIARCHS ANSWER
pETER THOMPSON

At the home where he has resided
continuously for more than half CEN
fury. near Bristow, that exemplary
man and good neighbor, Peter Thomp-
son, passed 20 his heavenly reward on
Friday morning last, leaving heri-
tage of fine life well spent TO his
kindred. Mr. Thompson was born at
HafsIow in Sogn, Norway, in 1884,
and had therefore reached the ripe
age of eighty-fve years. He came to
this country at the close of the great
Civil war, or in 1865. He was united
in marriage with Miss Mary Ramsoe,
in 1868, who was alco a native of Nor
way. Mrs. Thompson passed to her
home on high sixteen years since.
Seven children were DOrn to them, one
diving in infancy. All the others be-
ing present at his bedside WI en- the
eventful earthly journey closed. They
all reside in this section and are:
Thomas, Lewis, Edward, Martin, Mrs.
Cornelius Erickson, Mrs. Sam Peter
son. Seventeen grandchildren survive
as do four sisters, Mrs Sophia Thomp-
son, Mrs. Christina Lewiston, Mrs. In
grie Johnson, and Mrs. Sophia JUL.
The farm on which Mr.. Peterson so
long lived was homesteaded by him,
and the title has never changed till
transferred to his son Lewis, the same
still remaining in the family. The
farm has been added to by purchase
and was made one of the best in that
section by the great energy and indus
try of its longtime owner. There
the old parents reared large family,
who revere their memory. Mr.. Peter
son was a charter member of the
Northwest Prairie church, helping to
haul the material that entered into
it's construction, and where with his
family he had been an attendant
through more than five decades. And
from that temple of worship his NOR
tai remains were taken for the funeral
on Monday afternoon last, following
a service at the home Many neigh
bors and friends Joined the sons and
daughters in laying to his final rest in
the cemetery one who had filled a long
and honorable place in the home and
the community. Pastor Ramberg con-

\ FEW PERTINENT QUESTIONS

Washington, Sept. 8.-The Repub-
lican Publicity Association, through
it's President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following state
ment from it's Washington headquar-
| ters.
1--WE went to war because the I'M
perial German Government has COM
mitted repeated acts of war against
the Government and the people of the
United States of America, as stated
in the war declaration itself. We
were associates but never allies of
the nations at war against Germany.
In view of that fact
"Why is the United States embroil-
ed in a controversy between Japan
and China over the disposition of a
portion of the latter's territory?
"Just why should America be par
ty to the formation of the new Czecho-
Slovak State, appoint commissioner
for tracing it's boundaries on the
ground, ETC.?
| In spite of our love for the music
of President Paderewski. would Amer
leans lose any sleep II the boundaries
of Poland did not follow the line
Kreise of Leobschultz, Hatcher, Rat
ibor-Oderberg railway, and Krano-
WITT?
"What interests would we have IN the
Establishment of the Free City Of Dan
zig, or do more than one per cent
of our people know where it is or care
| why 1t is to be free?
"Of what interest is it to America
that Germany should give to England
it's former property at Shameen at
Canton?
although we have unbounded SYM
pathy for Belgium why should it take
the form of guaranteeing that she
shall receive 200 stations, 5000 mares.
5000 fillies. 1000 bulls, $4,000 milch
COWS, 10000 heifers, 200 rams. 10000
sheep, $1,000 sows?"
Did we go to war in order to COM
pei Germany to surrender her cables
from the Striats of Dover to FayaI.
from Dunkirk to Teneriffe, or from
Constantinople to Constanza?
DO we particularly care whether or
not the Kink of the Hedjaz RECEIVERS
the original Koran of the Caliph 9th
uan?
"Is the final disposition of the skull
of the Sultan Mkwawa OF moment to
! America?
What business is It to ours where
the triptych of the Mystic Lamb
finds repose?
what advantage does America de-
rive from compelling the Germans to
fit their freight cars with apparatus
so as to allow their inclusions in
good trains Of the allies?
"Why should we guarantee the right
of the Czecho-Slovak State to con-
struct a railroad from Schlauney to
Nachod-wherevert that may be?
yet we are asked to become a party
to a treaty that includes all of those
matter-matters utterly foreign to ma
tiona1 affairs welfare. The state of
war is actually being prolonged while
Senators wrangle over Shantung. Why
not junk the whole unsavory mess, and
either declare the war ended or write
a separate German-American treaty
that will include only the subjects in
dispute between the two countries?"
