We have read many but this one, written by a German-American to the Chicago Tribune, is the most intelligent we have yet had the pleasure to peruse, and it will prove of immense interest to both those of foreign tendencies and specially to those who have only the interests of America at heart: March 30, 1917.—The Editor, Tribune: My emotions tell me one thing at this awful time, but my reason tells me other things. As a German by birth, it is a horrible calamity that I may have to fight Germans. That is natural, is it not so? But as an American by preference I can see no other course open. We are urged by sincere pacifits like Mr. Pinchot to adopt “a vigorous policy of defense and protection, but no war.” But attack is sometimes the best protection. For twenty-five years ‘Germany has shown dislike for the United States—the Samoan affair, the Hongkong contretemps, the Manila bay incident, the unguarded words of the kaiser him- self, and, lastly, the Haitian controversy in 1914. Whether it is right or not, pleasant or not, the fact remains that the interests of the two countries have frequenly conflicted. And it has not been from mere commercial or diplomatic friction. It is because their ideals of government are absolutely opposite. One or the other must go down. It is for us to say now which it shall be. Because of my birth and feelings beyond my control I have no particular love for the French and less for the British. But by a strange irony of fate I see those nations giving their blood for principles which I hold dear, against the wrong principles of people I individually love. It is a very unhappy paradox, but one I cannot escape. I do not want to see the allies triumph over the land of my birth. But I do very much want to see the triumph of the ideas they fight for. 1t sickens my soul to think of this nation going forth to help destroy people, many of whom are bound to me by ties of blood and friendship, But it must be so. It is like a dreadful sur- gical operation. The filitaristic, undemocratic demon which rules Germany must be cast out. It is for us to do it—now. 1 try to tell myself that it is not our affair, that we should content ourselves with measures of defense and armed neutrality. But I know that it is not so. The mailed fist has been shaken under our nose before. If Prussianism triumphs in this war the fist will continue to shake. We shall be in real peril and those ideas for which so much of the world’s best blood has been spilled through the centuries will be in danger of extinction. It seems to me common sense that we begin our defense by immediate attack, when the demon is occu- pied and when we can command assistance. There is much talk of what people like me will do, and fear of the hyphen. Mr. Wilson, by his hesitancy and vacillation, shows that he doubts the solidarity of the nation. But I think the nation is only groping for leadership. If the president would realize the value of positive action he could bring all the people into unity at once. A ringing declaration of war, with a calm statement that we enter the struggle to save and strengthen the institutions upon which our state is built, would at once bring all the conflicting emotions of our people into patri- otic unity. Then all foolish notions of copperheads and traitors would seem merely a bad dream. \ Let us make war upon Germany, not from revenge, nor to uphold hair splitting quibbles of international law. But let us make war with our whole heart and with all our strength because Germany worships one god and we another and because the lion and the lamb cannot lie down together. One or the other must perish. Let us make war upon the Germany of the Junkerthum, the Germany of frightfulness, the Germany of arrogance and selfish- ness. And let us swear mot to make peace until the imperial German government is the imperial German people. C. KOTZENABE. ' eyes;comprise but oge.

It draws out she inflammation, soothes away the pain, usually giving quick relief. Musterole is a clean, white oint- ment, made with oil of mustard. Better than a mustard plaster and does not blister. Many doctors and nurses frankly recommend Musterole for sore throat, bronch croup, stiff neck, asthma neuralgia, congestion, pleurisy, rheu- matism, lumbago, pains and aches ot the back or joints, sprains, sore mus- cles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet— colds of the chest (it often prevents pnevmonia). It is always dependable. CHARM OF FLOWERS. Gardening Is a Hobby That Becomes Akin to a Passion. Barring the equally ancient and al- | luring pastime of going a-fishing, no | hobby has a stronger grip on its devo- i tees than gardening. At 4 o'clock ! of a summer mgqrning Celia Thaxter could be found at work in her radiant little island plot, a sister in spirit to old Chaucer when on his knees in the grass at dawn to watch a daisy open. i And these were not exceptional, not | | extraordinary, cases of devotion. They were merely typical exponents of the true gardener's passion. Nor 18 this tense enthusiasm fleeting. Not in the least. It is not more tran- sient than the bibliomaniac’s passion. no more evanescent than the collec- tor's zeal, which only death can quench. It is no sudden, youthful fervor. Indeed. it is rarely found in youth at the storm and stress period. while it may be observed to be strong- est in those for whom the days of wild enthusiasm are over. The bachelor clergyman or the quietest of spinsters. for whom other passion is nonexistent. will yet lavish on their gardens enough devotion to have won the heart of the most obdurate of persons, enough ten- derness to have sufficed for tne moth- When ip need ol wooD Remember ering of a dozen little ones.

Not one that cures some particular cough, but coughs in gen ’ It must be a cough remedy that can be relied upon for all the different coughs that are so prevalent. While the causes of all coughs are primarily the same, yet the condition of the patient is what makes the difference.in-the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to cure than the coughs gf invalids. The powerful convulsive cough of a large man is harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a remedy that will cure a large man's cough and yet not be too powerful for the baby, you have a good cough remedy. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is just this kind of remedy. It is good for any member of the family. It relieves coughs of all kinds. It is the product of much thought and study to produce an ideal cough remedy.

It acts as easily an safely on the young as on the old, and is the ideal remedy for coughs, colds, croup, influenza, whooping cough and bronchitis.” OIEE I Most of those choice lots in Bemidji are ours to sell, because we own them.
