Such newspapers as the Vossiche Zeitung aud the print what they declare to be the the president's perti planation that it F lated form.’’ Casual inspection of that ** shows that the president’ nership of peoples,’ Ge hoods that have kept the German people in the dark,’ ete., are entirely omitted The omissions are easily uuderstood, in the light of the facts in possession of our state depart+ ment at Washington, ‘Those facts provide detailed proof of what we have Jong known inv a general way—the iron control of the German press by the German government. It consists of a set of instrue- tions issued to the German newspapers by the cen- sor af, Berlin, telljng the editors prec are expected to suppress and distort the truth, to magnify or minimize facts, to ignore domestic trou- bles, to belittle the importance of the United States, ete, | The ‘‘mutilization’’ referred to by the papers mentioned, was done iy this ease by the helpful hand of the German government, In so vital a matter, it doesn’t do to let the biggest editors in Germany use their own slavish discretion. So it happens once more that the only way of getting into Germany a statement of incalculable value to the German nation is to smuggle it across the trenches or drop it over the border from air- planes, That is being done. But it is a slow pro- cess, And because of its slowness, it is still nee sary to continue the crude and distasteful alter- native of shooting the truth into Germany from gun- muzzles, ‘full text’ of with the ex pnt” spece ived in a “rather i] text s references to the an intrigues,”’ the ‘false STYLE AND STUFF. The Retail Shoe Dealers’ association in conven tion at Chicago has announced that better shoes ean be bought for $4 and $5 than for the very best boots made for women can be pur chased for $8 and $9. This is not an admission that in charging from $9 to $13 for “anything you'd look at’? the retail- ers have been indulging, in shameless profiteering. The shoe dealers go on to say that ‘style is what people crave, and they must pay for it.’’ The stylish shoes which have been making such hoies in pockethooks for the past few years are made of materials inferior in quality to those which cost less. They are far less comfortable, Women have been paying not for worth of goods or workman- ship, not for comfort or durability, but for that elusive thing called style, This is not strange. It is what women always pay for. It has always been true of hats, It wasn’t the hit of velvet or the silken flower that cost the money. The best hat in the world, made of beautiful mate- rials, velvet or satin so treated as to be practically weather-proof, well made flowers, combined ‘by artists, can hardiy be made to cost more than $20 with good profits all along the line. But because the feather is turned at an angle which will after- ward be reflected by thousands of other hats, its price may run to $85 or more. Hats, fitted to the head and whole personality of the wearer, which will be beautiful two or three years, can be made for #10 to $12. Gowns of the best textiles, durable and beautiful for every mo- ment of their existence, can be made for $30—often for less. Shoes of lines which combine grace with normal foot-health can be, purchased for half the cost of the ugly, deforming ones so widely seen, These things are platitudes, Why women pre- fer the ugly to the beautiful just because the ugly may be stylish no stylish woman knows, But artists know. They call it ‘‘the-corrpution of the human eye, ‘ Gee! hut it was a close shaye!

We are inclined to think that the Constitution goes a bit too far in wishing to take away the franking privilege entirely. Part of a congressman's duties is to reply to multitudes of letters from his consti tuents, and these may well be carried without ex-| pense to him. But might it not be practicable to} limit the amount of postage for which he was not charged?

The Women’s Relief corps of Fargo recently passed resolutions asking Governor Frazier to take such ste, Ss necessary to change the name of our state capital from Bismarck to some Anglo-Saxon name, Such a resolution seems to be the heighth of folly to us, and we can hardly see how any body of women—say nothing about men, would take such foolish action. Wave people reached that stage of hysterics, that they would’ not want to see any of our cities named after 4 famous foreign ruler, even if he was a ruler of Germany. America has many Germans among her most loyal citizens, and when we become so small that we cannot see any good in the name of such a man as Bismarck—even to the extent that we must not have a city in our land after him, we think that we have reached the limit. America is not fighting the German peo- ple, but we are fighting the royalty of Germnay, and the methods that they are pursuing in order to rule the world, What difference would it make if we had a city named after ‘‘Villa,”’ that would not signify that we believe in the man that the city was named after.—Devils Lake World. vally sound aud worth! fuel administration’s plan, the govern: | what they paid for then ! plapeniod With some people this question is of little prae-| actions will be conducted through the the | teasury department, and it is | : 3 eee {nated will cost the government about | bonds ws a way of doing their bit in the war, and | $25,000.00 and other industries permitted to run.
