(Bstablished 1878) a THE PRICE THEY PAY. Liberty is no cheap thing. It costs dearly, and is worth all its price. Without liberty life is mere existence; civilization crumbles, humanity is blinded and injustice is rife. Human beings love liberty. Some of'them endure untold hardships for liberty. Some of them now are in the trenches in France, Macedonia, Palestine and Italy for liberty. More are going. Many of them paid the highest price asked of man—LIFE. Some of them fell into the clutches of the enemy of liberty, the HUN, and they paid a price almost unbelievably hard. The Germans took this soldier, Private Hick- man, prisoner of war. When he fell in their hands he weighed 146 pounds. Today, five months later, he weighs 98. That is how the HUNS starved their prisoner of war. The HUNS amputated one of. Hero Hickman’s legs without giving him an .anaesthetic. . The .only food they gave him was a daily ration of a. bowl of thin turnip soup and two slices of black bread. . Hickman paid for liberty! Private Swann has just been returned from a German prison camp. While a prisoner he was operated on without an anaesthetic and with nothing to ease the pain. When the pain caused him to flinch and cry, out a German nurse slapped him across the face as he lay on the operating table. Swann paid for liberty! '. Private Hawley was wounded in both legs be- fore the HUNS took him. Gross neglect of his wounds in the prison camp rendered both legs ab- solutely useless. Both ‘could have been saved if oN the HUNS had given him but slight attention. { Now both are shrivelled up to the size of a child’s arm. Hawley paid for liberty! Now, good people, we who stay at home and do not risk the dangers of the trenches “over there” are never within the range of German ‘guns, never called upon to go over the top and thrust our bodies against the gleaming steel of the German bayonet, are we going to let soldiers like Hickman and Swann and Hawley do all the paying for liberty—ours as well as theirs? Our government asks us to help pay. It takes money to clothe, feed, and arm them. It takes money to bring them back from German prison camps and nurse them back to health. It takes money to fight for liberty. You are asked to furnish this money. Yau may do your share by subscribing for Liberty Bonds NOW—as much as you have saved up and can save within the next six months by the closest personal economy. You are not asked to give your life nor your money. You are merely LOANING the latter so that the torch of liberty may light your footsteps all the rest of your life. The money will be returned to you with in- terest. Notice how many shocks the HUN shock troops i are getting these days? THE PEOPLE OF HUNLAND When America first set foot in the world war some of us tried to fool ourselyes into believing j that we were not fighting the German people; that ' we were engaged upon the highly important task f of trouncing the German government—the kaiser and his gang of robber-cut-throats. And even to + this day some American citizens wrap themselves in the cloak of ignorance and go on talking abou. NOT warring against German people but against a German rulers. ‘ . Let us not listen to them. They are deceived— ¥ or they are trying to deceive us - We ARE fighting the PEOPLE of HUNland as well as their Hohenzollerns and Hindenburgs. The PEOPLE of HUNIand are fighting us. They not only are fighting us but they are rob- bing.us They are not only fighting and robbing us but they are mistreating us. They are killing our boys “over there.” They are mistreating our ays they have captured in battle They are rob- some foolish Americans like to call our “friends”, asserting that we are not at war with them, but; with their government. The people of Germany are at war with us. They are truly HUNnish in their warfare, just as their government is. They reveal the HUN within} them by robbing their prisoners—our sons. Tribune. If he gets it under the skin of his audi- ence, he may rest assured he has sold some bonds. | “We never lost courage,” said the German im- perial chancellor to the reichstag. Mebbe so, but they lost ground, guns, men and that “dinner in Paris.” The biggest argument for Liberty Loan which} can be made, says McAdoo. is Pershing and our heroes in France. Need there be any other argu- ments? All that Lieutenant Frank Luke, American flyer, did at St. Mihiel was to bring down 11 HUN bal-| loons and three airplanes. By next spring Lieu- tenant Luke will be able to chase a whole flock of! HUN flyers back to Berlin all by his lonesome. | | WITH THE EDITORS DOYLE’S RECORD CLEAN. We wonder how the Townley machine is going to cook up any dirt against S. J. Doyle, the inde- pendent candidate for governor? -Doyle is a suc- cessful farmer, and is held in high esteem by the administration at Washington, and fora number of years has been in active federal service. - -Just how Townley will try and dig up some thing against him, will be watched with a great deal of curiosity——Golden Valley American. ei S81 prENTION. MR. LANGER. The old German song, “Das Deutschen Father- |land” runs: : “Where is that German Fatherland? Tell me where is that noble land, Tis where resounds the German tongue.” \ And to this statement the kaiser added his dic-| tum when he recently said, “He who speaks Ger- man is German,”—Dunn County Farmers’ Journal. HOUSE BILL 44. We are face to face with the possibility, of House Bill 44. With it goes the socialistic prob- ability of state ownership of railways, elevators, stores, farms, chattels and everything else to which private title may now be secured. Are the people of North Dakota ready for such a drastic change in ownership? We.do not think so. Yet with the Nonpartisan league in control of avowed socialists, and with a league legislature a possibil- ity the rest is a certainty, whether the state is ready for it or not. Every voter should make sure that his vote gives him the thing he wants/| in the way of ownership.—Hannah Moon. TWO CONFLICTING VIEWS. Anything to Beat Burnquist Justified. The alliance between the Minnesota Non- partisans and labor element with the brewery in- terests is greatly to be deplored, yet, but justified if necessary to defeat Burnquist, responsible for political conditions preceding the Minnesota pri-| mary. As governor, to advance his own political | fortunes, he egged on petty officials and plug- uglies all over the state to deeds of violence and| hindranee of speech, a violation of the correr- stone to the democracy on which we pride cur- selves, liberty. The Minnesota primary was .¢ disgrace to the United States. To defeat Burn- quist we would palliate an alliance with the devil| himself, with whom Burnquist has been on ex- cellent terms. The brewery interests are bat) enough, yes, but a minor evil compared with Burn-| quist.—Parshall Leader, (Nonpartisan.) Our German Brewers Show Their Colors. Discovered in an attempt to buy one of the fore- most Washington newspapers, the pro-German brewery interests of this country are in a bad hole. The brewers have admitted the purpose of their half-million dollar invesement in a newspaper was to create a “friendly” feeling towards Germany, and to fight for their business as against the ever increasing prohibition wave. The familiar names of Hamm, Pabst, Miller and Schmidt are included in the list of brewers to the half million dollar fund. The net result of their action will be to create a resentment that will hasten: prohibition, and to link up the liquor interests of this.country with any effort made for German propaganda. It is significant that ninety per cent of the big brew- American boys they have taken. And ae.3 i FROM CORP. HAROLD J, SMITH. France. Sept. 2, 18.
