Mimi. during the war for disloyalty
was again elected mayor Of that city
at the annual election yesterday. The
people of New Ulm evidently thinl
that disloyal man makes a better
mayor for the city than a regular
patriotic American does. New Ulm is
a good place not to live in.
Berger has been expelled, and the

The fight for control Of the Michi-
gan delegation to the republican ma
tional convention, between Wood and
johnson seems to have been victory
for Johnson on the returns so far re-
ceivcd. The returns from a little over
half the precincts Of Michigan as
given in the papers this morning give
Johnson lead of $4,000 votes over
Wood. The city of Detroit gave John
sou $1,000 majority, so that If would
seem that outside Of the city OF De-
troit Wood carried the state. The re-
naming precincts may cut down john
sons lead very materially.
While looking through a magazine
the other day we happened to notice a
little cartoon which very clearly dem
onstrates the print paper situation.
The first part of the cartoon showed
some big political bug in Washington
ordering the printers devil to run OFT
a million copies of political propa-
ganda which would be Of no benefit to
anybody except himself and which is
usually dropped in the waste basket as
soon as received. The second section
of the cartoon showed the poor coun-
try publisher turning grey headed try
ing to figure out how to pay his print
paper bill while huge demon-hlgh
print paper costs-hovered near ready
to strike the blow which would put the
lowIy editor and his sheet in cold,
colo! grave. This cartoon was only TOO
true, and had good moral. We re-
ceive circulars, different department
records and other propaganda which
takes the royal road to the waste bas-
ket every day. If this serious waste
could only be eliminated we are sure
print paper would pot be co scarce
The situation in Ireland begins to
look more serious day by day, as dis
patches come in, telling Of the burn
ing of police barracks, murders and
other disorders which threaten to
throw the entire country into a state
Of turmoil and perhaps a revolution
against British rule. On Easter Sun
day general outbreak over the entire
country occurred. Tax offices were
fired, police barracks were ralded,
fighting occurred in many sections OF
the country and raiders marched over
the different estates, forcing the ten
ants to leave The first serious anti
British demonstration occurred last
Monday afternoon when company of
soldiers raded building and arrest
ed four men. A crowd of citizens
gathered and threatened the soldiers
who brought the prisoners through the
crowd and forced the crowd back with
drawn bayonets. The Irish people are
growing more and more discomfort
under the present British rule and are
demanding that they be given more Of
say in government affairs and it is
only fair that they should be. They
have been under the jurisdiction of
the British common wealth for years
and are forced to pay taxes such as
the British government sees fit to levy
and this spirit Of discomfort seems
more insistent since the great world
war in which Ireland's sons gave their
share of human blood that the world
might be safe for democracy and they
are therefore staging these outbreaks
in the hope Of forcing the British gov
eminent to give them home rule in the
near future.
