(Hatablished 1873 ) hed Pes) <> SIDE BY SIDE OVER THERE The Blue and the Gray are fathers of boys in khaki. Their sons are standing shoulder to shoulder in ‘the trenches over there, and, together they go over the top and battle with their common enemy and their country’s foe. No longer are they sons of the north and sons of the south. They are Americans! : And their fathers, in Blue and in Gray are glad this day that their sons are Americans of a united America, America fighting for all that is best in civilization, freedom, justice, humanity. So it is that the few remaining veterans of the Civil war, those who wore the Blue and those who wore the Gray, are united in hope, cooper- ating in effort, and one in loyal endeavor to help these boys in khaki bring freedom,’ for all, for- ever. “As never.before this country. is united, stand- ing as one man, strong and determined, in the pathway. of the ruthless enemy of democracy. While all of us hold dear in our hearts the mem- H ories of those who offered their lives in wars Bilvand of other years, it is only. natural and human that while we are laying upon the graves of yester- years the blossoms: of love and ‘honor, thoughts of those who have gone—and are training to'go— Over There are ever throbbing uppermost in our i . hearts. : : | over there; we cannot strew flowers with our own hands, but:.we can do what they, if they were living, would more'earnestly desire, We can re- |. new: dur pledge we:made to’ our boys in khaki: § : We will stand back of you all'the time you ® are over there. . We will keep, you always { supplied with everything you will need to fight, with food, clothing, ammunition, guns, if equipment, and we will take care of you when you are ill and wounded.” H Give of our dollars for war relief work, includ- j ing the Red Cross, Y.

This world war MUST be won by those who are allied upon the side of liberty.’ The only ques- tion is,concerning the price we must pay—-THE - PRICE IN LIVES! Not our lives, but the lives t of our sons. We who stay at home may make : that price immeasurably greater by failing to eas “DO OUR BEST.” That is a thought we may well carry deep in . our hearts this day, tomorrow, the next day, and every day until we have achieved peace with honor, the only brand of peace which our boys in khaki will accept. flower on a i IT’S A HOT PLACE | re oliky “We only want a place.in the sun.” Chan- } « cellor von Hertling has got around to this plain- tive old gag once more. If ever a country were fully in the sun, Ger- many is. For a half century she was in the sha- _dow, secretly. educating. inventing, organizing, plotting to perpetrate the foulest crime upon hu- manity ever-conceived. ‘ The full light of the sun is now upon her. The world sees her aé'the deadly enemy of human progress and happiness. No more light is needed to reveal her designs or her character. She can‘no longer hide and work in _ the dark. Not the slightest cloud covers her pre- 53 tensions of honor. Her representatives are re- ‘<ganled.asspies throughout. the, world and there's no nation, not even among those which she uses 1 ~~ Upon their graves, the newly made-graves| that isn’t offensive? They’re going to teach boys in one of the Cleve- land schools to cook. Every boy should learn to cook. In 20 or 30 years it may be necessary as a measure of self-defense. Reported that Prague workmen have quit hoching der kaiser and gone to hurrahing for Wilson. You'll see others making this change in tune, before this war ends. Under the date of May 20, a London corre- spondent cables that “the British are satisfied that American comradeship is sincere.” Bet all we’ve got that that fellow is paid a dollar per, word. Army contractors built a barrack 230 feet long and 30 feet wide in five hours at Fox Hills, N. Y. That is pretty fair speed, but we know a man who hung all the pictures in his home in a way that pleased his wife and did the job in two weeks, working Sundays and after returning home at night from business. | WITH THE EDITORS | GET IN THE GAME There are 1,800,000 of our American boys now serving in the army or navy of the United States. Some are not coming back, most of them are. To those who are already across the seas we owe every, penny that can be saved. through habits of thrift. For those who will come ‘back every penny will be needed in the work of reconstruc- tion.. Thousands of the boys are fighting and dying to save ‘the liberties and rights of those who stay ‘at home and obtain freedom against military despotism. The “stay at home” army should be many times larger than the army fight- |ing,,and the. “stay. at home” army is the THRIFT ARMY.—Cooperstown Sentinel-Courier. ° ye ee ay «PROOF LOCALLY. In Billings may be found one of the best argu- !ments in the world in favor of’ military. training in high schools. It’s the Billings battalion of high school cadets, organized lastt:fall, now well drill- ed and capable of presentiny’a trim and military appearance. 3 sedan mt 1 1B i It may be safely, ventured that améng all the parents of the cadets there is not one who will say his son has been injured in any way by the course of drilling, mental and physical that the youth has undergone since he first took his place in his squad. Rather it may be believed that the parents of the cadets are highly enthusiastic at the re- sults obtained even in this short time. It is cer- tain that ‘the high school cadet corps, appearing before the citizens of Billings at the Liberty loan celebration alittle more than a week ago, drew a general and warm approval. The cadets are under the command of V. C. Caldwell, and the work that they are doing is good work. Because of it they will be better equip- ped later on to carry their share in the world’s burden. , Some day there will be no high school in Ameri- ca without its cadet corps. This may be a fore- runner of universal military service, or it may come after general army training is put into ef- fect. Both are certain.—Billings Gazette. MORTON HAS A BIRTHDAY Everybody knows how many living former presidents we have. Both of them are so active in public life that it is impossible for the people to lose sight of them. But how many living for- mer vice presidents have we? That is a little harder for the average person to answer, offhand. Of course, when one starts to count them, he is apt to recollect that the colonel was vice presi- dent before he was president, but quite likely he has lost sight of the fact that Levi Parsons Mor- ton, who was fairly: well along in years when, in 1888, he was.elected vice president with Benjamin Harrison as president, is still alive. The former vice president was about as con- spicuous, during his term of office, and since, as most vice presidents—always excepting T. R.— are wont to be, but he has smashed a record as the years have passed since, on March 4, 1893, he stepped aside for Adlai Stevenson of Illinois. For Levi Parsons Morton was bern on May 16, 1824, and he celebrated his 94th birthday on Thursday. The next oldest vice president was John Adams, who entered upon his first term as vice president with Washington a hundred years, lacking a‘few weeks, prior to the time Morton took the oath of office. Adams died on July 4, 1826, a few months after he reached the age of 90. He lived 25 years after retiring from the presidency. Levi P. Morton was 63 when he became vice presi- same office. And Morton has now lived for a quarter. of-a. century, after.tetiring, from.the.vice, presidency.—Aberdeen News. i BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE ( r POLITICS AROUND THE STATE | oo. With the farmers planting a “win the war crop” and the business man keeping a weather eye on the condi- tion of the barometer, the state has refused to get excited.over the bien- nial struggle for:.principle, patronage and preferment.' There are signs of awakening, how- ever. The organization ‘backing John Steen, state treasurer and the man “who beat Casey,” are building fences and stringing wires for a real ‘cam- the dent. Adams was but 53 when he assumed the paign. ‘That league*:léadere » realize.that North.

That this is no small op- position éven the most astute league campaigners admit in their inventoty of the “pros” and “cons.” It) was not so many years ago back in Minne- sota that one R. C.

The situation has changed. Like it or not—Sociat- ism with all its ramifications is the issue. . Will the farmer turn ‘back or travel farther with his new found leaders? Thats the puzzle of the campaign— The Tribune welcomes letters from farmers stating how far they desire to embark on the. program of state socialism. They have the power, there is no denying that. They will pay the ex- penses of the political joy ride wheth- er it leads to Arcadia or the other place. Come on, farmers, let us have your. opinion of the league whether it boosts or knocks.
