that a barbarous, an intolerabl
method of settling industrial dis
putes? The right to strike! Doe
possession of that sacred and inalien
able right entitle men to freeze AM
starve their fellow men?
A fair and reasonable settlement o
the coal controversy is certainly pos
sible. Let the Government see tina
it is made with all possible speed. AM
meanwhile let the miners show tina
they are rational human beings b!
continuing their appointed work.

| Despite the fact that it is now con
fronted not only with second, but ;
third opposition newspaper, in one
| paper town, The Lamberton Sta1
hands out it's standing answer that il
will not desert the field to the Non
partisan League and the pro-Germa1
element which is now seeking the full
control that is so essential to the big
activities proposed by the league
throughout southern Minnesota.
Because of the present power of the
Nonpartisan League and the disloyal
element, and it's systematic and per-
suasive economic boycott on business
houses, The Star is feeling the "pow-
er" of the league and pro-Germans in
the withdrawal of certain advertisers
from its columns.
Therefore, in addition to going out
to the state after individual subscrip-
lions the new Star, the bi-weekly
state paper to be established and op-
Grated by The Star, it is hereby an
nounced that advertising will be ac-
copied from anywhere and every
where in the following lines, to replace
local dealers who have seen fit to
withdraw from the Lamberton Star at
the behest Of those who believe in 1
per cent Americanism and 80 per cent
Russian socialism,: Clothing, Drugs,
Optical, Furniture, Farm Implements,
Harness, Jewelry, Stationery, other
Lines.
The Stars rate, until further notice,
is 25c per inch; classified advertising
1 cent per word per insertion.
The Star solicits the business of any
good American bushes house whose
line does not conflict with that of local
advertisers who do not run to cover at
the blast of the boycott trumpet of the
Nonpartisan league and the pro- Ger
mans. It neither solicits, nor will it
knowingly accept, advertising from
those who are not Americans in spirit.
The Stars job printing department
is we'll equipped and any orders for
commercial printing will be promptly
and properly attended to-and appre-
ciated-as an offset to the business it
lyoses because Of it's American policy.
There will be ''kick" enough in ev-
cry line of The Stars new state pa
per to justify a subscription from ev-
cry American home and every Amerl-
can business in the state. If any
American citizen subscriber does not
receive $500 worth of good out of ev-
cry dollar he invests in years sub
scription, before the year is out, the
subscription price will be refunded
without question!
It will not be "yellow" in style
neither in spirit 1t will be essentially
and progressively American, with an
eye single to the purpose of laying
bare the truths, and the menace, Of
fered in the daily activities. of the
Nonpartisan League and it's chief IN
centive-the pro-German element.
AS the Lamberton Star has been
fearless in dealing with the PROPOSE
ton in it's own field, just so will its
state product deal with matters per-
tanning to the league and pro-German-
ism throughout the state. And there
is no field in all Minnesota that offers
greater incentive to effort along tins
line than the field occupied by the
Lamberton Star. -.
The brazenness of the boycott now
on against it is ample evidence OF this
condition. In no other city IN the
state could the undertaking have been
accomplished with the ease with which
their efforts have been repaid here.
True, it has taken a third paper to
put the thing over, but think OF the
kultured Intelligence" that directed
this third paper in a one-paper fleld,
in order that the famous Berlin mes,
sage - "sink without trace"-could
be made good again!
The Stars so-called fight against
the cornerstone" organization OF Boil
the Stars fight alone-it is yours. a
The above is from the Lamberton::
Mimi, Star, published in a town OF
about $50. We admire the ,"spunk OF
the editor. We had a boycott tried on
the Times-Record, but thank God we
also have enough 100 per cent busl-
ness men in Valley City and farmers
in the county to back US up IN our
stand for honesty in state govern
ment and real Americanism among
the people-let the Reds go to Russia
where they belong.
