There is not a word in the address of January 8; or in any subsequent address which demands reparation. All the allies, and particularly| France and England, through Clemenceau and Lloyd George,| |i have declared again and again that the terms of peace must contain both restitution and reparation.” ‘We may take it that the subject of reparation was con- tained by implication in the president’s words, and a rational mind can read them there; but we can be confident that Berlin will construe them differently. The retreating German armies were engaged in orgies of destruction while the proposals were under consideration, but the devastation was of little military importance. It indicated sheer wantonness and malignity. ! If the Germans really contemplated paying the bill they would certainly not add to the debt by indiscriminate demoli- tion. They would demolish only what the allied armies could use. It is evident that they have intentionally left the subject of reparation to discussion, and during the weeks—or months— occupied by such a discussion they could add substantially to their waning resources. : Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign relations com- mittee, has even refused to believe that Prince Maximilian rep- resents the people at all. And as we have nobody’s word but Maximilian’s we can hardly blame him. During the war between Turkey and the Balkan States an armistice was declared, and delegates met in London at Sir Edward Grey’s invitation. They labered for several weeks to reach an understanding, and then the belligerents went at each other again with redoubled vigor. If, therefore, we do actually see.delegates assembled at a conference table it will be well-not to expect too much from the deliberations. — Qe POLITICAL VIEWS FROM THE NORTH END. (Editorial-—Baudette Region.) Senator Knute Nelson is about five feet three and is one of the biggest men in the country. Vote for him. The outstanding feature of Fred Wheaton's campaign for governorship is the lack of excuse for it. 0. Skinvick, candidate for judge of probate, is laying great stress on the fact that he was a lawyer who reformed and became a deputy sheriff. A better choice than Ed. Rako for representative could not be made. He can be elected, should be elected, and we believe will be elected. As attorney-general, Tom Davis would be about as much use as five inches of foam on an inch of near beer. In fact, Tom is all foam. Vote for Hilton. 3 One thing we refuse to worry about is Mr. Caiderwood’s ambition to park his bunions in Senator Knute Nelson’s shoes. When a man is big enough to be mentioned as fit timber for president (and Knute has had that reference tossed at him many times) there shouldn’t be any question about his fitness to represent us in the senate. Judge Stanton is proving that he is a big enough man to check his politics -eutside, like his hat, when he enters into a discussion of winning the war. Although he js one of the leading democrats in the state, he has come out in favor of Minnesota’s war governor, Burnquist,~who happens to be a republican. The judge has demonstrated that he is a rea} democrat. . Candidate for the LEGISLATURE To the Voters.of the 52nd District: sires of any faction. the real needs of the county. prior to election day.
