The following article is from the American Press, the most fearless, fair and impartial journal for the newspaper pub- lishers in the United States. It has said it fairly and squarely, showing another studied attempt to injure to the utmost the newspapers of the country, nothing new in the annals of what exists today—lack of brains, incompetency and partisan bias to its limit—and no self respecting newspaper but what will raise its voice in vehement protest: “Backed by a vicious flank attack from the state of Michi- gan, shrewd politicians, cheap political nondescripts, and a determined army of men and interests opposed to newspapers, are about to deliver what they believe will be a body blow to the country press—an organized attack on the freedom of political advertising. “The plan is to limit by law the amount of advertising a newspaper may receive from.any one political candidate, and in its place substitute a circular method of political publicity which will enable the powers behind the throne to hand out printing patronage to the large cities, and cloaked by an air of seeming purity slip through congress legislation that will hamstring the country newspapers, and the country printer. “The attention of every country publisher from Main to California is called to the situation, because the powers now organized form a menace to the country newspaper. It is planned to strike at the very foundation of newspaper free- dom, and success. o | 4 G “The publisher who does not buckle on his armor to fight this proposed invasion on the rights of the newspaper will live to regret the day of his indifference. There is time now to begin an organized effort for self protection, time in which to plan methods to strangle the attack. The question of poli- tics is not involved. It does not matter whether a newspaper be republican, democrat, independent, socialistic, or what not. The welfare of every country publisher is involved, and it is up to the live wires to fight for the freedom of political adver- tising, and for the right of the publisher to sell his space and as much of his space as candidates and their friends are willing to pay for. i “The battle will center around the campaign expenses of Truman H. Newberry, who is running for the senate in the state of Michigan against Henry Ford. “Let it be said at the outset that “The American Press” is nonpartisan and nonpolitical. It has no interest either in New- berry or Ford. It does not interest this newspaper in the least which man is elected to office, whether Newberry if de- feated seeks the office of a pound keeper, or Ford if defeated decides to spend the rest of his life driving rivets into peace ships. “The American Press’ is interested only in the country publisher, and proposes only to fight for the right of the country publisher to accept as much advertising as he cares to accept, whether it be paid for by the Newberry clan, by friends of the father of the flivver, or by any other man or group of men. “The organized foes of the press are not satisfied with pre- paring an assault upon the prosperity of the newspaper. They are not satisfied with the frightfully immoral suggestion that the Newberry display advertising was an illegitimate expendi- ture despite the fact that it was paid for at full card rates. In addition to their main attack they have begun a campaign to obtain full space in the newspaper for the opposition, and at one quarter the publisher’s rate. Summed up, the little Mich- igan army plans to conduct a rate cutting campaign, while the main army is sharpening its bayonets to stab in the back the very publishers who may be foolish enough to fall into the trap. “The flank attack is being conducted by the democratic state central committee of the Wolverine state, which not only has planned to slash publishers’ rates if it can, but puts up to them a proposition which clearly violates the law.” 0 WHICH SHOULD BE CONGRATULATED. We are much pleased to congratulate Editor Noonan of the Baudette Region on the election of J. U. Williams of the northern portion of the county.to the office of court commis- sioner. The name of Mr. Williams was written in the ballot on election day, there being no name thereon for the position! to be filled. For some time, Editor Noonan, who is the boss newspaper- man of the northern part of the county, has taken a keen delight in putting a new ribbon on his trusty typewriter and producing therefrom editorial effusions calculated to get under the hide of the inhabitants of Bemidji and the southern part of the county, something to the effect that Bemidji was the prize hog when_it came down to election officials, securing county im- provements, ete. But here he walks off with the court commis- sionership, absolutely unabashed, and that while he was in bed with the “flu.” As for Mr. Williams, he is one of Beltrami county’s best citizens. who know him and he is no stranger to Bemidji. He is a man of character and standing among all His ability is not questioned and that he will make a splendid court com- missioner is fully recognized. 0 Well, at any rate, we'd rather have the story of the kaiser’s surrender a few days earlier. When the United Press confi- dently believed it had the right dope it let loose of it to its clients and didn’t wait until everybody knew what was happen-}12 And we're still for the United Press. ing several days later. If there was any better afternoon news service we'd take it. 0 Now that the “flu” lid has been lifted from the city, people should continue to use the same precautions against contagion or communicating the ailiment to others.

Paris.—“The Americans doubt noth- ing. That is the reason they realize everything in the way of making the impossible possible and overcoming all obstacles.” So says the Petit-Journal, in speak- ing of the encrmous docks and ware- houses which the American army has erected on the coasts of France. “The Americans,” the newspaper continues, “do big things and they do them quickly. The question of time and other rules which ordinarily de- termine the possible do not exist. for the Americans. With them the im- ssible becomes (he rule and it is s¢ of that reason that the Amer- » always advancing. have constructed ‘somewhere ‘n I'rance’ a depot of enormous pro- portions—already the largest of all such depots in France and second larg- est in the world.

Gold- stein of Pittsburgh holds a war record, according to information received at the Pittsburgh head- quarters ot the Zionist Organi- zations of America, of which the woman is a member. She has ten grandsons and one great- grandson in _the English army and ecight grandsons and one great-grandson in the United States army. WW Soldiers Learning English. It has been discovered that there are thousands of men in our National army who cannot speak or read Eng- lish. For that reason the library war service of the American Library asso- ciation has established classes in Eng- lish in nearly all of the big tralning camps. There is a heavy demand for books, and even “First Readers” are on the list of books asked for and—ot course—supplied. 4 HAVE COLOR I CHEEKS Be Better Looking—Take Olive Tablets 1f your skin is yellow—complexion pallid ~tongue coated—appetite poor—you have a bad taste in your mouth—a lazy, no-good feeling—you should take Olive Tablets.

Asks Recruiting Office to Put Him Right Up Close to the Front, San Francisco.—*It_is to my inter- est and welfare, as well as that of the nation, that I ask you to allow my husband to enlist. He is forty-seven yvears old and I insist that you take him as a cook and put him right up near the front.” So wrote Mrs. Mary Hainey of Wat- sonville, Cal., to army recrulting head- quarters here, adding: | “If there is any possible chance fo¥ him to be examined and go as cook or anything else, let me knoW by re- turn mail, and he will be there for ex: amination.” Hospital Humor. In an Ametican hospital in France a Heutenant who had lost both his legs in battle received a package from his wife. In it were six pairs of socks. Raising himself as best he could in the cot, the Ileutenant sald: “Say, boys, what am I going to do with these now?” “T guess you're just out of luck" True Art. “Wombat 'is what I call a real art- 1st.” 5 “EhY” “He can get a fair likeness and yet make the portrait 40 per cent bet- ter l1o0king than the original.”—Louis. ville Courier-Journal. MEAT INJURIOUS TO THE KIDNEYS Take a Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidheys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tis- wmes clog and thus the waste is re- tained in the blood to poison the 'ntire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you- have stnging pains in the i:ack or the urine ‘s cloudy, full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you to seek Telief durini the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessnéss, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weath- er, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urin- ary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink, and no- body can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kid- neys clean and active. ®xhi = MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1918 | 1111 nann lIlllllIlllllllllIIII;I;IIIIIIIIIIIllllllllll £ WE CAN INSURE £.2 Z ANYTHING—ANYWHERE {2 Es O R[] COMPENSATION g s 0-9 g mey E " : > [ 3] 2] Erslmen INSURE |§ | < g EEEN ] WITH o|E W £8 E.g :.’ M 2 o é E ,m-8 | E|MILLER > 5 SoEomraz 5| awE 815 3 2 SiEme SURE__|E | & z £ _.§.
