Sinking the German Ships


Ever since the meeting of the
peace co, ference, there have
been rufaors that the fleet of
war ships surrendered by the
Germans was to be taken out in
to the ocean and sent to the bot
tom.
This proposition should be
fully deba ed in Congress. If the
American people are to be taxed
some hundreds of millions for
new war ships during the next
few years. they will want to know
why these perfectly good ships
should be scuttled. To sink them.
and then go on spending many
millions to build more, would

Dave Isensee surprised and
pleased his numerous Claire City
friends last Saturday by drop
ping in on his way home from a
recent trip to France ands Bel
gium. Dave-is as Shakdssuie 2
hearty as ever, and it sure does a
fellow good to hear that old laugh
of his again. He was with the
world-famous Wild West division
that has won laurels by their
heroic conduct wherever they
fought. Dave was in many a
tight place, and had his clothes
and pack punctured by bullets
but came through without a
scratch. He fought in the Sois-
soins-Rheims row, the Argonne
forest where all but IL of his
company was killed or wounded,
and were switched from there
around into Belgium, and the
signing of the armistice found
them still driving the Boches
about twenty miles from Brus-
sells. On Monday Dave went on
to Lake City to visit his folks.
He is undecided as to his future,
but has several good positions
open. Claire City Press.

A fellow called our attention
to the fact That a month ago he
was out of town for two weeks,
came back two weeks ago, but
had not seen anything in the
paper about it. Well we never
missed him and doubt if anyone
else but his family did, and may
be it was a relief to them. How :
ever had we known it we would
have ben delighted to chronicle
his departure (from town. and
would also have mentioned his re
turn, but we were left in the

for tablets bearing all the names
of the boys from each county
also war relics and modern inn

Dealers Now Must
Make Own Guaranty

Pierre state legal depart
ment under an inquiry from the
state pure food department,
holds that tinder the pure food
amendments made at the last
session of the leislature, that
the guarantee of the wholesaler
or jobber as to misbranding or
adulteration, does not protect
the dealer in case of seizure and
confiscation for misbranding or
adulteration; under the old law,
the guaranty f the wholesaler or
jobber was sufficient so far as the
retailer was concerned, but ev'-
IDENTIFY this has been eliminated.

NOTHING DOING FOR
BOLSHEVISTS IN u. s,
CONTINUED from page u

osophy upon which they acted
was that every person who had
to obey the laws of q country
ought to have a voicesin deter
mining what those laws should
be. They are still imbued with
that principle and consequently
have had no kindly feeling for a
dictatorship of the proletariat.
But clearly this is not the
principle being pursued by the
Russian bolshevists. They fear
the will of the majority just as
much as Kaiser Wilhelm, EN-
peror Carl, or Gar Nicholas did,
and boldly declare the dictator
ship of the advanced class
awakening to a new democracy,
and this group is to be the sole
Judge of how the people shall
live, what they shall do and how
they shall do it. It sets up the
dictatorship on exactly the same
plea that every autocrat has
used, that he know better what
is good for the people and how
they should be treated than
they know themselve. This
subsection may resemble the
mild leading of an orchestra
conductor if the proletariat is
submissive, good natured and
obedient, but it may take the
acute form of a dictatorship en-
forced with a 'merciless and
firm rule and iron discipline
against those who violate this
control or who are careless with
regard to control"
