PHILANDER P. CLAXTON UNITED STATES etans | Pa y OF RDUCA ie We SHU Here you see a front page of Viereck’s “Ameri- can Weekly, formerly known as The Fatherland. This is the pro-German organ, published only for the spreading..of German propaganda, which camouflaged itself in stars and stripes when America entered the war—but which continues, with Prussian clumsiness, to advocate Germanism as strongly as it dares. Philander P. Claxton, commissioner of education of the United States, is the man who dares to com-} bat the elimination of German study from! Ameri- can schools, and dares to make such speeches as this, from a recent address in Baltimore: “I oppose the elimination of the German lan- guage, because * * commercially, in the future, Americans will have more to do with Ger- mans than ever!” Germany, defeated in war in Europe, hopes to be victor after the war in America—hopes to spread German influence by trickery where she couldn’t spread it by force. And Claxton is her willing envoy! Defying the awakened patriotic spirit of Amer- ica—despite editorial protests from every state— flaunting the War Mothers of America, which de-| mnaded his removal—defying the American De-| fnse society and other patriotic societies which | have demanded elimination of Germanism from | our educational system—Claxton rests secure in} the laudations of the Germans and German-lov-| ers, secure in the belief that he can help the crim- inals of Europe put over a German victory in} America! IT SHALL NOT BE! This newspaper, in the interest of the welfare of the American nation, demands the instant res- ignation of Philander P. Claxton, commissioner of education of the United States, or his official re- moval from public life! And it calls upon every patriotic newspaper, every patriotic citizen, in the United States, to! join the Tribune in this demand! } What would the war poets do if “Yanks” didn’t rhyme with “tanks” and “Hun” with “run”? Wilson’s fourteen terms show a serious omis- sion. If the world is to be made safe for democracy | all domestic politics should be eternally abolished. The whole fourteen terms hinge on a League to Enforce Peace. No wonder T. R. doesn’t take them seriously. His terms hinge on a league to preserve war. y : Three months ago we were all howling for war dn Bulgaria. But we’ve learned the leave-it-to- Wilson lesson now—all of us except Senator Lodge.

A STATE CANVASS. It is going to take a state canvass of the vote on the constitutional amendments to decide T/whether all of them have passed. There are many split ballots. ‘Some of the league members refused to vote for the debt limit/and in other instances the vote showed that there are some framers who still do their own thinking on eco- nomic issues. The present indications are that the vote has been extremely close and only an official tabula- tion by Thomas Hall, secretary of state, will re- veal the true nature of the vote. WINS CONVERTS. Minnie Nielson’s success at the polls and the fact that her election means the eradication of the | blighting influence of socialism from our rural schools have won thousands of converts to wom- lan’s suffrage. By all means enfranchise the women of North Dakota as soon as possible. Of course the Non- partisan league failed to include suffrage in their ten commandments, but then probably Miss Niel- son’s success will bring the desired change of heart. The women of the state have shown that when the issue is a vital one, they will turn out and vote. Now that the last argument against uni- versal suffrage, has been eliminated, indifference of the women toward the ballot, they should win complete franchise rights. HOBOS BUY W. Ss When is a vagabond not a vagabond? This ques- {tion now assumes momentous aspect for the house- wife whom Dusty Roads deferentially approaches for a handout. Ere she slams the portal or looses the leash on toothy Tige, it becomes her patriotic duty to pene- trate the hirsute hedge ’round the countenance with piercing gaze, the character beneath. For be it known, that not only have the Knights of the Highway a union, but this Hobo Union on the Bowery, N. Y. C., bought $700 in War Savings |Stamps after a speech by their leader. It is hinted that his exhortation commenced with the words “Tramps! Tramps! Tramps! the Boys are Marching!’ One of his selling argu- ments was the wearing qualities of ;W. S.

He Then, too, as a back-door story—great sacrifice of personal gain, substantiated by the documen- tary ‘evidence sewn into frayed knee or ragged elbow, will guarantee the sympathy that goes to ginger jar or attic sock and parts with “heart- earned” dollars. This Certificate of Patriotism, properly present- jed to pugnacious parties patrolling trains, should unfailingly procure unmolested passage for the patrons of side-door Pullmans.

It may be a one-track mind, but at least it’s on the right track. It looks as if that “crumbling” Bolshevik regime would outlast the kaiser’s.

FROM MARTIN BLOC Somewhere in’ Frain Ot 1, 1818. Dear Mother: Received your letter the other day and sure was glad to get it. I also got a letter from you a week ugo and had answered it but hadn’t got it mailed yet till I got this one 'so am going to try and write them both in one, these letters are belus dated one Aug. 22 and the other Sept. 19, but ‘I’ got them both about tue same time so that’s the Ajway we get mail over here.' It seems so queer I got a few let- ters from others above 3 weeks igo but since then have been able to hevr from no. one but, you. I had’ one letter from Julia since I came here, terday .I got. two’ sults, of fMéivy derclothes and some. good heavy’ socks. « I thought this was a fine country but Ihave changed my mind about that, I would rather live in the states somewhere, one can’t see anybody for months at the:time. The people live just like you always told us they do, they live in ‘settlements like the Min- onites do back home only all their buildings are in one house, barn, granary, chicken house and everything else they have is all in one building. I haven’t seen but one frame build- ing here they are all stone concrete or_brick. Everything is about four hundred years behind the U. 8. they farm mostly with oxen and have hardly any machinery, of course they don’t need much, T could take a hoe and farm as much as’a man does here with a team oxen, I hal been sick for about a week, am not. entirely over it yet, but will goon be all right I think I will be able to go back to work about Tues- day. T haven’t seen anything of Albert or don't expect to till we get back, but I have his address now so will write to dim ‘nowy: T always thought thit he was in the M? G. in the Inf. I think it’s a lot harder then we have it here it seems that all the boys from back home that I know got in the Intf., but me as to the war I can’t tell you anything about that, we don’t know much about it here only what we hear and a good idea in the army is not to believe what one hears, we may find out more about it when we. get to the front if that time ever, comes, I think we will all be home before much Jonger. ) ¥ can’t figure out how you heard that I reached here, I am sure I didn't send any to you. I sent one to Julta and one to another party and hayen't heard. from either of them. * {° Well Mother as I have a few other letters to write today will close.

October 3, 1918, Dear Erother: Will write you a few lines today in answer. to your letter of Aug. 6, I received a. bunch of letters today from home, afid some from Iowa. It is pretty nice here today. but as it is getting along toward fall, the nice favs will be few and far between from’ now on.

To-the Editor of the Bismarck: Trib une: a i At.a time when an epidemic amount- ing to a national catastrophe is ‘still sweeping over our country. it seems fitting that we showld. utilize each help, however humble, in order to. suc- cessfully combat-this evil. is Today we know much more of san- itation and hygiene than did our fore- fathers. Our methods of dealing with disease, especially ‘ with epidemics, are more accyrate and scientific than were theirs, still, considering the lim- ited. means at their disposal, they accomplished wonderful cures ang we n not hesitaté to. apply ime of their hard-earned knowledge to our present conditions. ‘What: has, becomp:) af: certain ‘effec- tual old-timé remedies? For example, the onion. poultice made of lard and onions applied warm to the patient's tiroat and’chest»and: completely cov- ered with several thicknesses of flan- nel. A layer of paper placed over the mixture, between ft and the. flannel, will prevent the lard from soaking in- bto the cloth. A hot water bottle, or a hot salt bag’ (which ‘should of hot plate put directly over this ap- plication will. keep it warm. ‘ Other plates than the one in use may be kept in the oyen, ready for seryice. Camphorated, oil or camphorated lard is being used In the sameway as the lard and onfons with fine results, if reports are true. And how about the mustard_plaster, sometimes a life-saver? Direttions for application come with the kind. manu- factured by Johnson & Johnson, pro- curable at most drug stores. These di- rections should be read carefully. It ig sald on’ good authority that mus- tard plasters. never interfere with own- er treatment and ¢hat they: may be applied while waiting for a doctor. A sudscriber to a local paper states that an exceedingly successful doctor claimed that it was-absolutely, impos- sible for one to take any disease from another person after eating onions (preferably raw). This may be an ex- aggerated claim, but if onions are really beneficial to the public health and are at all a safeguard in time of epidemic, why not use them? Our forebears believed in keeping sick folks “heated . up.” Now we know that they should also have plen- ty of fresh air, but let us remember to keep them warm, well covered, and out of drafts. Certainly, let us use every care not ‘to expose ourselves needlessly to in- fluenza whether we eat onions or not and if we develop symptoms let us at once (as we are so often reminded) call a doctor, remembering too that “early to bed and then stay there” has saved many a precious life among influenza -and pneumonia cases, but may we not also use as valuable aids to our modern methods the simple, old-time precentives and applications that were life-presorvers to.a former generation? M. G. DU: N, Aneonta, N. Y. If the above simple suggestions can be in any way used for the practical help of your readers your correspont- ent will be most glad and she sincere- ly hopes that the epidemic is not a severe in North Dakota as in New rk.
