YORK AND CHICAGC ARANCHES IN ALl THF PRINCIPAL CITHE® pe A COURAGEOUS ACT. President Wilson deserves much credit for his courageous act in rising above his party in writing a letter to Senator Stone, ignoring political expediency and standing forth as the protector and champion of our na- tional honor. The Minneapolis Journal has the following to say in regard to the letter: The president’s letter will doubt- less prevent congress from taking a foolish and cowardly step. But great harm has already been done. It all began with Secretary Lansing’s in- credible blunder of proposing dis- armament of merchantmen to the En- tente Allies. That gave Germany the chance to take quick advantage by proclaiming her new submarine menace. The president did his best to re- trieve the situation by quick and stout affirmation of the American po- sition. He stood firmly on our rights as neutrals and our determination to permit no changing of international law while the war is on. But just as American compulsion on Germany to stand by her pledged word and to abandon her untenable position: was. tightening irresistibly, Bryan’s followers in congress have started a fire in the rear which, how- ever - futile and however misrepresen- tative of American popular sentiment, cannot fail to have evil effects. The issue-is clear. The question is whether- the United States is to stand firm for the rights of neut- rals, for international law as it is universally accepted, or whether it is going to permit Germany to override the law and justice. Shall we, as the president puts it, maintain “our hitherto proud position as spokesmen even amidst the turmoil of war for the law and the right,” or shall we abdicate: it in favor of the Bryan policy of scuttle? ACTION APPLAUDED. The action of Judge C. W. Stanton of the. distriet court of imposing a fine of $100 and a sentence of 60 daysinpon five men who were found guilty of selling liquor without a license is much applauded by resi- dents of Bemidji and Beltrami county. It was time that an example was set for similar offenders. Several of the men were convicted before: on a similar.charge. A fine alone:in these-cases would have been no punishment. They were all able to pay their fines They would pay the fine as a sort of a tax and would go back to selling.liquor-and making up their losses. It was.time to call a halt and Judge Stanton. called a halt. LOVE IN: COTTAGE. If you marry a University of Min- nesota girl— You must be a total abstainer. You must. earn more than $1,- 500 a year. You must dance, play golf or tennis, or motor. These. are some of the require- ments deduced from 25 responses to a “Cupid.Questionaire” sent out by the Minnesota Daily. One young lady offered to marry a man.who makes as low as $900 a year,, Another. stated that . money was. entirely, beside the question and that love. in a cottage would. be wel- come. TO0; REPEAL. PRIMARY. A movement.is under. way to return to the.old convention system in poli- ties,.and . we. believe that it will be welcomed, by .a large number of Min- nesota_voters. . Plans are being made to ask,the next, legislature to repeal state primary. election laws. It is proposed to substitute the wide-open primary, for the.old precinct caucus. Delegates. then, will be elected to county,. congressional or, state. con- ventions. OUCH! Says the Princeton Union: Con- gressman Lindbergh’s withdrawal from the race for the Republican nomination for governor is a matter of small consequence. He never was in to any great extent.” NOW IN-CELL. Five Bemidji men sold liquor when they did not have a license to sell Five men were found guilty of the sale of liquor and now they are in a cell. The Minneapolis Tribune hit the spet when it said, “God made the sky so wide, but man made the streets so marrow.” HEEKKKEKKK KKK KK KX UNITED STATES NEEDS SWISS PLAN, NOT-BIG STANDING ARMY » owox Military Authorities and Na- tional Guard Experts Fear the Administration’s Pro- posed National Defense Sys- tem--Volunteer Basis is Re- garded as Unjust and Unde- pendable. *hkok ok ok ok ok ok ok kk ok h KEKKK KKK KK KKK KKK Note—The following is the sixth of a series of articles de- scribing and discussing the Swiss military defense system published by the Pioneer by spe- cial arrangement with the Spokane Spokesman-Review. — Editor. (From the Spokane Spokesman- Review.) Congressman W. E. Humphrey of Seattle went to the heart of the de- this country does not want a large standing army, “but there ought to be some system installed, similar to the Swiss system, by which our young men would be taught to handle a rifle and also taught the elements of sanitation.” It is deeply to be regretted that President Wilson has not grasped this problem in broad comprehension, or, if he has grasped it, lacks the reso- lution to tackle it with needed vigor and courage. At best the administration’s pro- gram is of doubtful feasibility. Our highest military authorities fear it, and national guard leaders are against it. Would Undermine Guard.

For this disease Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is excellent. Mrs. Will Har- ris, Zanesville, Ohio, says of it, “Last winter I was bothered for several weeks with bronchitis. I also had a dreadful dry hacking cough that clung to me so persistently that I be- came alarmed. Finally I had the good fortune to learn of Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy. It relieved the irritation of my throat and two bot- tles of it cured me.” For sale by all dealers.—Adv. CHICHESTER S PILLS MOND BR, Ladlcs!

They fear that his proposed “continental army"’ would undermine the-existing militia- system of the nation and later break down itself, thus leaving the country with less preparedness than ever. The chief defect in the volunteer system is its constant unknown quan- tity. It is like 'an arroyo course of the desert—swollen at rare intervals to torrential volume, only to run dry after a brief period of flood action, with long drought when its supply is most needed. The - administration plan depends on a volunteer response that will be large and continuous. With each re- curring year, perpetually, 133,000 new recruits must come voluntarily forward to make it a success. Sec- retary Garrison himself frankly ad- mits that it will require a double vol- unteer spirit—from the young men who . are to :come forward every year to keep it going, and from their em- ployers, who would be expected to give the plan their unflagging en- couragement by releasing employes, holding jobs open for their return and continuing them, in whole or in part on the regular payroll. Volunteer. System Unjust. No plan of adequate national de- fense, it seems certain, can ever be built on uncertainties like that. The administration plan is neither de- pendable nor just. - As Congressman Humphrey well says: “It is not fair for the courageous to go forth to death while the cowards stay at home (Continued on Page 4) Twin City Stamp & Stencil Co. rutver & Metattic 209 So. 3rd St. Minneapolis S tamps Stencils 11 Seals: 13 Checks 11 Brass Dies Evils of Constipation.
