With Jeffersonion simplicity the president has sailed from this country to save the world for democracy. He went on a passenger vessel accompanied by only one great dreadnaught battleship and fifteen destroyers and but five of the latter will be of his modest escort in mid-ocean. As all German submarines are now safe in British ports, the seas have only the dangers of nature. Therefore, but two divisions of all the American navy in foreign waters will. meet him and his guards on the other side and escort him to a Ftenqh port. There will be but ten battleships and couple of score of lesser craft to herald his quiet landing from his long voyage taken that there may be no more wars. His counrtymen are assured by Creel that his party goes’ not as an army of occupation, but as one of information. The hold of the vessel ig loaded with the history of Europe whic}x ag an act of supreme friendship is being returned to the place of its birth. With it goes such an aggregation of college pro- fessors and presidents as has never before been gathered under one tent. To them is committed the labor of expounding to Europe its past. Lloyd George, Clemenceau, Orlando, Venezelos, the statesmen of Serbia, Rumania, Roland and the rest with their advisers, will no longer have to flounder in darkness through lack of knowing the past. What one American college pro- fessor can’t tell them, another will, while Colonel House will continue to startle them with the extent of his profundity as we are assured for the steenth time, has been part of his daily routine. ; As soon as they arrive the college professors will unpack They will then proceed to draw the peace treaty along the linés laid down by the president and will' admit of no foolishness from those whose business is deceiving the world while dividing it up. They will not permit any greediness, nor allow anything to be put over on the innocents—those smaller nations that through centuries of oppression have maintained their race consciousness and developed statesmen who today are their recognized leaders. | Creel explains all this in his last salute from New York as he stepped aboard the great liner with its precious freight of which he is not least. Every American heart must swell with pride at the thought of what that cargo will do to Europe, and for Europe, how it bears the toxin of democracy that will save the Old World from itself. Britain lost one million dead in the war, France as many. Italy in four years suffered correspondingly. Belgium, Serbia lost all but a tag end of their countries. Rumania was com- pletely over run. They had these losses fighting a war which the United States now says, was from the first our war and in which we lost in eighteen months, fifty thousand dead. Certainly it is magnanimous in this great and richest coun- try the only one not near bankruptey, to now relieve those who were for eighteen months our “associates” in the five years war, of the burden and responsibility of making the peace which is to decide their future. o day. lln this fascinating romance of | i f the soclety girl controled at times by | " furniture HE DESERVED IT. ‘the spirit of an outlaw ancestor, the Motlon_ carried. p Motion made, seconded, and carried, (Baudette Region.) e The best Baudette ever got was the worst of it from State Superintendent of Schools Schultz, who was deprived of a cor- pulent living at the expense of the state when the governor aimed him for the exit last week. According to Mr. Schultz’s brand of arithmetic it was perfectly proper for Beltrami to get five or six dollars a pupil state aid while richer counties got double that amount. The Warroad Pioneer sizes up the situation in the following article: ; We are not among those who are displeased with the gov- ernor for dispensing with the services of Mr. Schultz as state superintendent. He is a fine man personally, and no doubt has the welfare of future generations at heart, but another ten years of his methods would drive most of the smaller towns well on toward the edge of bankruptey. He has made the “state aid” to schools a burden, instead of an asset, by insisting on’ compliance with a set of arbitrary rules, often changed, and all of them requiring the expendi- ture of all the “aid” and then considerable of the community’s money to get the aid. His model of a school has evidently been worked out with great success on the iron ranges, where valuations run into millions and money is plenty, and he has endeavored to fit the same garment onto the communities with little resdurces. We hope the new administration will figure out some way that the schools can be aided without bankrupting the com- munities supporting them. ! —e e LUMBERJACKS WERE TRUE PATRIOTS. In a letter sent to the newspapers of the state, A. D. Wil- son, Minnesota food administrator, pays high tribute to the lumberjacks of the state, in which figures are quoted to show the conservation of white flour, the figures showing a volunteer saving in one year of over 2,000,000 pounds of white flour, and increasing the substitutes over 1,700,000 pounds. The use of sugar decreased sufficiently to save nearly 1,000 tons in the logging camps alone. % Lessening of meat rations brought on an increase of 1,- 300,000 pounds of fish, and that much beef and pork products| were saved for the soldiers. The close of the letter says: “The lumberjacks of Minnesota have met Liberty Loan and Red Cross appeals as generously as those of food conser- vation and they will be in on the saving for world relief. + 4= | {scenes come as a prelude; then the SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 7, 1918 New Tailor Shop MOE & HENDRICKS, Propr's [Formerly Thompson’s Tailor Shop] We Have secured a fine line of Overcoating that we will make up for $35.00 to $45.00 this month only.
