He is forever imagining that his friends are not as cordial as they should be. The sensitive man wears his feelings on his sleeve, as it were, and they are forever being ruffled by the passer-by. If this extreme sensitivemess in our neighbor were a fault in the strictest sense of the word we would know how to deal with him. But it is not such a fault. It is purely the result of self-consciousness and is frequently found in persons of warm-hearted disposition. They have a eordial liking for their friends and are perhaps of an impulsive, ardent temperant. Their feelings find vent in an effusiveness that rarely merits with the response which they think it merits, and disappointment is the © result. The great trouble with the “sensitive man is that he has not yet realized that all men are not built on the same plane as himself. He .should re- member that there are almost as many different natures as there are in- dividuals, and each has his own perculiar mannerisms and modes of ex- pression. - : A smile is simply the working of a certain set of facial muscles, and is just as seasy to call up as is a frown. Courtesy and kindliness are two of the noblest qualities of humanity, and are attained at the smallest price. Giver the super-sensitive person a smile when you meet him. He will feel better ,and so will you. The assertion of Germany that she will sink any vessel of any country at any place she may be pleased to prescribe and at any time looks like a ruse to escape further losses and possible crushing. She has turned against countries which were holding aloof by declaring that she wil! attack them wantonly and ruthlessly. Just what consideration Germany is entitled to or what she may expect is another matter for individual opinion. There is no reason for anybody getting excited over getting into “war with Germany.” The kaiser has all the trouble he wants and if the de- tails were let come to the outside there is no doubt but that her internal difficulties are alarming, judging from reports that have filtered through via Amsterdam. And one of the chief reasons is shortage of food and supplies, bluff to the contrary. And another thing that puzzles us greatly, is what is meant by “civil- jzed rules of warfare.” We have always been under the impression that in battle each side was trying to kill as many of the enemy as possible. But maybe it would be more polite for one soldier to step up to another and inquire which he preferred—to be stuck with a bayonet or shot and at what point of his anatomy. Says the Bagley Independent: The man who could run a newspaper to suit everybody went to Heaven long ago. Begging pardon for differing, but we know of a few right here in Be- midji who can. But they aren’t in the newspaper business and never were. Bemidji Carnival association’s delegation to St. Paul headed one of the chief parades, the Industrial parade, and the 75,000 persons who viewed the parade knew that Bemidji was on the map. Good for the Be- midji delegation. They are to be congratulated and deserve the hearty appreciation of every inhabitant of Bemidji. No matter whether Wilson is a Democrat, Republican, Prohibitionist, Progressive or what, or whether we voted for him or agree with him in many ways, he’s OUR president and we're for OUR president any old time some other nation attempts to run any bluffs on the good old U. S. A. We were “Made in America,” and that’s why. The thing for Germany to have done was to have attended to her enemy nations and kept off those who were trying desperately not to be drawn into the unpleasantness. But no, Emperor ‘William has a paper reputation as a “war lord” and evidently thinks he has to live up to his self-arrogated “rep.” We don't pretend to diagnose the war nor its cause nor any phase, and have no feeling against G'erman_v but when ANY nation on this earth asserts that it will sink vessels of the United States ANY time and ANY place we are one who will scrap at the drop of the hat. The people of Germany are not looking for war, don’t want -war and never did want war. No nation on the face of the earth has a better people. It is simply a case of “too much kaiser” and not enough of the PEOPLE. At least that's the way we view it. Looks like a case of Germany reaching the end of her rope and an at- tempt on the part of the kaiser to set the entire world against him so he can quit with the excuse that he can’t lick ’em all. Looks very much that way. Don’t worry, there's no country going to play horse with the United States. When it comes to a show down, your Uncle Samuel will “be there” ~vith bells on and ringing.
