Pople of intelligence have long ago l€arned to. estimate this efficiency at its'true value, and have ceased to stand in awe of The efficiency: of Germany is purely an 9§_ficiqncy of con- stant application. Her present militant condition is the result of a lifetime of unremitting_attention to every .conceivable angle of the game of war. While the other nations of the earth were quietly pursuing the paths of peace, Germany was strain- ing every nerve and devoting all her accumulations of men and means to the task of creating an army and armament bef9re which the world would find it impossible to gtan_d. l_)urmg most of this time she was hypocritically parpnc:patmg in the Hague conferences.and proposing the total disarmament of all nations, but in the light of recent developmex:uts we know that during all this discussion her war preparations ‘were never slackened. 8- . Even Germany’s efficiency in the arts and- sciences l}as been made to serve the dread Moloch of War. In extending her influence among the nations of the earth in t}}esq branches, she has been for years building “spheres of influence”—in other words, nests of spies and potential traitors against the ke day when their services should be needed by the fatherland. Yes, Germany has efficiency— LT Efficiency in cold-blooded assassination, evidenced by the brutal destruction of vessels by her sea vipers, when even wo- men and children attempting to escape in open boats, have been shelled, mangled and sunk; evidenced by her wanton glesttuc- tion of .civilian life by her airplanes and Zeppelins; evidenced by the deliberate murder of prisoners of war who, by all the laws of nations, treatment. . Efficiency in perfidy, as witnessed in her rape of Belgium, for no other reason than that she stood between a brutal tyrant and his intended victim; evidenced by her attempt to array other nations against our own country, at the same time her representative to our capital was shedding crocodile tears over his forced departure and separation from his “dear friends in America”’—doubtless he took with him for the perusal of his butcher master full proofs of his treachery while enjoying our hospitality and esteem. SR I The Germany of other days was noted for:efficiency, but that efficiency has been prostituted to most ignoble ends. | God save us from such efficiency. Fy — BURNQUIST It is indeed highly gratifying to know where Minnesota stands today, after what she has been through. It is gratify- ing to know that she is still in the loyal column of the nation and that the great majority of her citizens are true Americans. And she need not for one moment hang her head in disgrace and shame. : In overwhelmingly setting their seal of approval upon Governor Burnquist, again endorsing his administration of their affairs, Minnesota demonstrated to the Bolshevikis and pro- Huns that infest Minnesota that she is strongly against them .and will crush out the very life of all who attempt by deed or word of mouth to seduce her. And she ‘is to be heartily con- gratulated upon the result. The eyes of the nation were focused upon Minnesota on _ primary day. The nation’s capitol and all other centers of government| silently watched and awaited the answer. It came with deci- gion in every particular and the answer was unmistakable. Minnesota responded with a will to the call at the time of | the Civil war. She jumped to the task when Spain threatened. She has responded by thousands to the call to arms against{ Germany and her hirelings, and she responded by thousands when the call sounded to stamp out treason and sedition from getting ‘their nefarious clutches on the throat of the best state in the Union. 3 It was a rebuke well deserved. buke. It told the agents of the kaiser and advocates of wan- ton murder and rapine that “they shall not_pass” those sacred portals, wherein sit the sonservators of the destinies of a commonwealth, its people and their all. North Dakota was breathlessly watching the returns from Minnesota. She, too, is\facing the same condition. Go thou and do likewise, North Dakota. . [, S— . Here’s a good one. One of the party of twenty Mexican editors, visiting in the United States, while speaking at Boston compared Wilson with Washington and Lincoln. That Mexican editor is a pretty good kidder, and it has never been claimed they were much along that line, either. V 3 .. —o One thing certain, there will be no more treason advocates and pro-Germans from the Third district on the Beltrami coun- ty commissioners’ board when the new body is seated. The election results saved some other action for “amputation.” D — ’ Here’s hoping that Meyers of Minneapolis puts Van Lear on the scrap heap and then obtains a large quantity of disin- fectant and uses it plentifully in and about the city’s adminis- trative offices and in other places where badly needed. . —_— Let's see, we believe there were some “influential” advo- cates of Woolley’s candidacy in Bemidji, judging from a letter written from here.
