Pub- Hshed every Thursdsy and sent postage paid to any address for, in THE CASE OF BERGMEIER “I believe this arrest is a mistake,” declared Fritz Bergmeier, editor and manager of the Volks Zeitung of St. Paul, when taken into custody by Federal authorities upon orders from President Wilson. The arrest was made in accordance with the provisions of the proclamation issued April 6 which says: “An alien enemy shall not write, print or publish any attacks or threats against the government or Congress of the United States, or either branch thereof, or against the measures or policy of the United States.” Bergmeier is a native German and an enemy alien of the United States. Of course he says he believes his arrest was a mistake. He he- lieves he should be allowed to spread treason and allowed to attack the government under which he has been tolerated in peace and quiet and conduct his nefarious business. This snake from an enemy country has HE HAS BEEN HERE TWELVE YEARS AND IS NOT A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES. He has been here and permitted to exude his venom upon the country he sought in escape from the Prussianism which dominates the land of his nativity and to which he still clings while safe under the protection of the Stars and Stripes. He stated after his arrest that he had intended to make this country his home, but if we had our way about it he would be kept in jail and sent back to Germany as the United States doesn’t want any foreigners of his stamp landing upon its shores. Bergmejer lauded the New Ulm meeting and the treasonable utter- ances of a lot of Germans who came to this country to seek a haven of refuge, and also the utterances of descendants of these Germans who are not one bit American only so long as they are permitted to enjoy freedom, such as they are denied under an autocracy, and prosper such as they could not under the iron rule of the German emperor. Bergmeier in his pro-German paper attacked and ridiculed General John J. Pershing, one of the best military men ever produced in the United States and whose military record is a shining light. Not only is Pershing regarded as a remarkable military leader but as a man his reputation is above reproach. Yet this dirty alien cur Bergmeier takes it upon™ him- self to attack him in the country General Pershing has fought for, the man whose work against Spain stands out on the pages of history. Bergmeler says ‘‘his arrest is a mistake.” It's too doggone bad the United States doesn’t deal with such the same as would befall any Amer- icap in Germany if he should do the same as Bergmeier has done. Talk about his arrest being a ‘‘mistake.” He is extremely lucky because the United States government doesn’t pursue a policy more drastic and hang a few such creatures. t Bergmeier has been circulating his treason sheet unmolested and it is .about time the government was grabbing more like him and ‘interning” them, a punishment which to our mind is not any way near what should be inflicted upon traitors, of which Bergmeier is one. BESMIRCHING THEIR HOME STATE The word has gone forth, heralded clear across the ocean ‘to Russia that the people of Minnesota have risen against the government in its de- termination to send troops abroad to defend the honor of the United States of which Minnesota is one of the foremost. The word comes from Elihu Root, head of the commission just re- turned from Russia, the cable coming to the government from Russia, the new republic. The reports emanate from such affairs as that at New Ulm, and other places equally as savory because of their kaiser-loving inhabitants. How- ever, those at home know what the situation is and it is only a handful of native born Germans and their descendants who are still loyal to their kaiser from whose clutches they sought escape, who claim to be Amer- icans but whose citizenship papers amount to as much as the treaties made with Germany termed a ‘‘scrap of paper” by the premier assassin of women and children. . The United States has bought her position in the world by the sac- rifice of her best blood in the past. Her history shines in glory for those who fought so nobly for her freedom and who have by their blood pre- served that which no subject of the kaiser ever knew in that dear old “fatherland” they prate about, and in spite of treasonable speech and acts such as has been and is being patiently tolerated, America will again assert her spirit as she has always, regardless of those whose claim of citizenship they seek to use as a cloak to cover their disloyalty. BEMIDJI CITY OF PARADES Bemidji is noted for many things but she seems destined to become celebrated for the number of patriotic parades being staged of late, the latest being Thursday night when Jess Dunning and William Shorey, two I. W. W. agitators, led a procession to the depot, the two I Wont Workers carrying the Stars and Stripes. The other parade participated in by Dunning was on July 25 when he, together with a frowsy bunch, paraded to the depot under the folds of the national colors carried by another Industrial Wrecker of the World. In that melange were many who had not the slightest claim to citizenship, yet they marched as any real citizen of America would, although, perhaps, they felt not the slightest blush of love for the country which had bade them welcome. But their dream is shattered and becomes an illusion when they find themselves driven like a herd of cattle from a community of real Americans and made to carry the flag whose protecting folds they blatently revile. And there are other flags awaiting should occasion arise. CAUSE FOR BEMIDJI BEING PROUD The day’s outing at Diamond Point given for the children by Captain Crusberg of the Salvation Army Thursday, aided by several citizens of the city, held more than a casual glance. It was a day provided for those outings of similar nature are decidedly few and far between. The little people who were present conducted themselves in the most approved man- ner.

The fin- ish and tailoring in this Wool- tex coat are the same as in much higher priced garments. The convenient pockets have a long pointed patch extending quite to the hem and giving the new long-line effect so fashion- able tnis fall. The collar is exceptionally good, coming when open in loing points over the shoulders. The semi-cuffs and large buttons are other subtle touches of youth. And the inside workmanship shows the same paistaking care of the Wooltex tailors as the outside appearance.

It will con- vinceeany one suffering from kidneys, bladder, backache, that it is many times more active than lithia, and dissolves uric acid in the system as hot water melts sugar; besides being absolutely harmless, it preserves the kidneys in a healthy state by thoroughly cleansin, them. Anuric swecps from_ the bloo the uric acid which causes rheumatism, gout, sciatica. Anuric is an insurance agent against sudden death. Send to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for free book on Diseases of Kidneys. St. Paul, Minn.—"“For years I have suffered from disordered kidneys. My back ached terribly, also my head. I let it run on until just lately when I read in the papers of Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tab- lets, and having known of Dr. Pierce and some of his medicines I decided to try out Anuric. I have now taken but one box but have been greatly benefited by it. Of course, I couldn't expect one box to cure me, but know that the An- uric will cure me from the effects of the first box, as already my backache has almost entirely disappeared. I certainly advise everyone suffering as I did to take Dr. Pierce’s Anuric Tablets”— Mzs. F. E. MagsHALL, 1007 Gaultier St. St. Panl, Minn.—“I am taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription with the best of results. A few months ago I suffered with dizzy spells and woman’s trouble. I studied up my case in the “Medical Adviser’ and decided to try the ‘Favorite Prescription.’ It gave me im- mediate relief and has strengthened and toned up my entire system. I can’t say enough in praise of this medicine.”— future of Bemidji at play and Bemidji could well be proud of every ome.|Mgs Nick SMITH, 230 Granite Street. | ARAAAA A KRS LR R R R R R R R R R R R R E RN R R R R R R R R R R R R R x « * * ® x * * * « * * = x * * *® Phone 178.W or R | | * %% %% B %N % Hair dressing, manicuring, face massage, scalp treat- ment, switches made from combings $1.50.
