Pub- lished every Thursday and and sent pomge paid to any address, for, in OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CI'.I.'Y PROCEEDINGS TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT (Duluth News-Tribune) The press censor division at Washington has the habit of making it- self silly. It has done more foolish things and made more mistakes than are necessary, or than it would if a trained newspaperman was in charge. According to Washington dispatches, it is having another series of spasms because a cablegram came to Governor Burnquist from an officer of the Minnesota artillery, announcing the safe arrival in France of all, or a part, of that regiment, no one knows which. The governor very properly gave it out to the press and the censor’s bulletin was scooped. Now he protests and threatens the officer who sent the dispatch with some sort of punishment for letting the governor of the state know that these boys from this state were safe across. Certainly their families had the right, since it is not news of any possible value to the enemy; the boys are still months from the trenches. But why the fuss when this same division controls all cable dispatches sent here from France, or received here from anywhere? sage was passed, why should any one hold it from publication? Since this mes- If there was any mistake it was made at Washington. Is the censor trying to shift responsibility; is he trying to place on ““George’” what is his own fault? It is quite certain that the German staff knows a lot more about the American troops in France and England, their number and character, than do the American people. The Pioneer published the dispatch mentioned and could see abso- lutely no harm ‘in the message. But when it was heralded to the world that the United States has perfected a new Liberty Meotor and told Ger- many what it had up its sleeve in a new discovery as a modern weapon of destruction, we wondered if it wasn’t pretty good information for the foes of the United States. The Minnesota troops were in France and thou- sands of anxious Minnesota mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and w&ves were greatly relieved by the cable. When the Duluth News-Tribune says ‘‘the press censor division at Washington has a habit of making itself look silly” we add our hearty en- dorsement. “AN OPEN CONFESSION”"—ETC., ETC. The n®xt time we meet LaG. Worthington, manager of the electric light ccmpany, day night. We were endeavoring mightily to remove from we are going to apologize to him for our actions Wednes- our rather angelic countenance and obtrusive jaw a three-days growth of bristles, such as are usually found on a shoe blacking brush. We had started to smear on the suds and had started to perform the operation to remove said facial tapestry and perform a few other feats incident thereto, just like any other human who dces similar stunts, to the accompaniment of the lights going cut, coming on and out again, a sort of continuous perform- ance, and our cpinion of what we were up against, verbally expressed upon things in general, wasn’t in the least uncertain. But the gentle zyphers that heralded forth the blizzard of yesterday had wafted through the electric wires and caused a short circuit and the households affected by the uncanny occurrence were greatly relieved when they learned the cause of it all, AT THE REX THEATRE OCTOBER 22-23 OneoftheMllmSemu——Th To Co bn!Be!wem Man and Octopus and the 'l'ln'illmle Rucnemgy Cal:hm Nemo Is One of the Many Thrills to Be Seen Glittering coral forests, resplend- ent marine gardens, queer deep sea fish and beasts that have never been catalogued by scientists — this strange and uncanny panorama will be unrolled on the motion picture screen of the Rex theater next Mon- day and Tuesday when 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,” the only photoplay ever produced on the floor of the sea, will be presented, mat- inees and evenings. “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” is the masterpiece of Jules Verne that has been read by nearly every child in America. Two generations have been thrilled by the stirring re- cital of Captain Nemo’s heroic cruise under the water on the good ship “Nautilus.” “Sometimes I think that God nev- er intended these sights for the eye of man,” Capt. Nemo says at one point in the great film spectacle as he points out to his guests on the “Nautilus” the -thousands of mar- velous scenes in the cradle of deep. Newspaper and scientific journals the country over have been deeply impressed by this picture, a thing unique in film achievement. The feature of the production that makes the strongest appeal to the audien- ces is the fact that sights never before presented to human gaze are being offered with a clearness and a realism that is startling.

Its a small thing in comparison with what the men in uniform are doing. They may lose their lives. Nobody can give them their lives back again. The government can’t pay them for their lives. But you give only your money and you get four per cent for it and you get it back again. We're buying all the LIBERTY BONDS we can and we’re also trying to serve in another way : buy- ing good merchandise and selling it on a narrow margin of profit. Other merchants can do that too, and they ought to do it. But the first way for you to help serve is to help over-subscribe the LIBERTY BONDS by at least two billions.
