This country is going on in prosperity. They may upset thrones and regimes all they please in Europe. We don’t do things that way in this country. When we aren’t suited with things as they are we dust off the ballot box and put it into commis- sion. That’s the American way. The peaceful revo- lution. And business and jobs as usual, Lots of things need change and mending. Don’t forget that. For one thing, the common fel-| low is going to have more to say than before the; war. But free peoples like this know how to go about such jobs as ours without flying at one another’s throats. Of course occasionally some big or little man looses a tornado of fiery words. We do it our- selves sometimes and our chest feels better after- wards. : Now we're going to be altogether too busy to} bother with the brethren of the firebrand. And we won’t have any time to waste listening to croakers. They told us it would take 5 or 10 years to whip Germany. {Thanks be, our boys didn’t believe/itt The croakers are discredited, ' ;;; This is the hour for prosperity—for all of us Americans to make good times for ourselves. Get busy! =— i And Hohenzollern couldn’t crucify humanity on + across of iron, either. RESULTS. William Hohenzollern set out to make himself autocrat of the world. To found a German world-empire greater than any other empire ever dreamed of: by man. Hé made himself the most abhorred of mankind. He wrecked autocracy, militarism, Teutonism and all their brood of evils. : He created a unity of English-speaking peoples that will rule the world. He created an empire of democracy greater than any king every ruled. “Man proposes. God disposes.” Pharaoh’s example comes to mind. The old Egyptian autocrat became a warning to mankind. Hohenzollern is another. No man or combination of men can stop the coming of The Day when— “Man to man, the warld o’er Shall brithers be and a’ that.” Right now we're realizing the spiritual unity of the English-speaking peoples. We're realizing the essential kinship in aims of the English-speaking peoples with the Latin races, The British, the French, the Americans are melting into a League of Free Nations for the peace, unity and prosperity of the world. Hohenzollern never contemplated such a result from his war. He didn’t want any such result. BUT GOD DID! re Amen! Won’t somebody please call attention of these European reformers to the little matter of spelling personal and place names in Russia and Poland? SHALL WE HAVE ANY MORE POISON IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS? The war taught us who were our friends. The British, the French, the Italians. The war exposed the colossal treachery of Ger- many, the Judas among nations. i Let us not forget the lesson. The war drew us into a blood-bond of kinship with Britain, France and Italy. That bond will be strerfgthened in the years and world-activities of peace. To make sure that no misunderstandings shall mar the relations of the future with these our Kinsmen after the flesh and after the spirit, we will. unitedly.in our schools study British litera- ture, French literature and language, Italian lan- * guage and literature. _And Spanish, that we may meet in business and social brotherhood our neighbors to the south. We will not study German language or ‘itera- ious. along without German during the war. We shall not need it in time of peace. We will not need to seek German trade. if we do, remember that trade is never at a loss for words in any old language. Let the Germans learn English if they want to do business with us! You agree with all these propositions, ‘don’t you? Well, what follows? WE DON’T’WANT ANY MORE GERMAN STUDIES IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS ANYWHERE IN AMERICA. A 5 WE DON’T WANT ANY PRO-GERMAN RE VIVALISTS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM ANY- WHERE IN AMERICA. Who is the biggest friend in America of renewed German study in the public schools? P. P. CLAXTON, UNITED STATES COMMIS- SIONER OF EDUCATION. Let him abdicate while the abdicating is good. He’s a back number anyway. By and by every shop and office will be equipped with its live soldier pet. : WIPING OUT FARM MORTGAGES. A greater per centage of farm mortgages in the Northwest has been paid off this year than in any other single year, if financial men dealing largely in these securities are correct in their reckonings, This is a rather dependable indication that the farming population of this part of the country has shared well in our war-time prosperity. Despite scattered crop failures and in the face of statements from seurces that farming of late has been an unprofitable business, land values are said to have been increased for the most. part. At any rate these values are so stable that farm mortgages, save in North Dakota, are said to be increasingly attractive as investments for surplus funds. The reason they are not so in North Da- kota is that the Non-partisan League, whose des- tinies are shaped by Socialists, is in political con- trol of public policies in that state. Socialism has an ultimate tenet that there should be no private ownership of land or other natural sources of pro- duction. That is a discouraging thought to those who would otherwise be predisposed in favor of investment in farm mortgages. J Minnesota voters, including the “lével-heaged. farmers, went tq the polls on election day andife- turned a judgment that, the affairs of this state should not be turned “éver to the Nonpartisan League. They feared’that such adventures as North Dakota has entered upon, if undertaken here, would result in an economic blight upon Min- nesota, They had excellent reason for so think- ing, hence their continued dependence on the party already in power and their intrusting of their problems for solution to that party and to ‘the sound sense of men of other parties willing to co- operate with it in policies of true remedial virtue. We do not believe that, in so doing, they have thrown away any advantage nature has given them ‘in this prosperous year.—Minneapolis Trib- une. i Ns The topsy turvy state in Germany also “just growed.” a No, when the boys come home they certainly won’t have to'fight for jobs. Lots of people are taking this world-disarma- ment thing seriously these days. After four years of substitutes, Germans naturally hanker for a primitive square meal. Extremes not only meet, these days—they col- lide; Absolute monarchy runs smash into absolute anarchy. ‘Nobody has yet ventured to ask Count Bentinck how.he likes ‘William Hohenzollern’s accusation of ‘friendship. This is just as good a time as any to suggest that the new German republic adopt American as its official language. The German people will find it a lot harder to rid themselves of the name “HUN” than it was to ditch Bill! Hohenzollern. A Grand Rapids paper complains that locally the “duty in nutshells has not: been done.” However, it may~be said in a nutshell that civilization has done its duty. Already a ‘competition seems to be spring up entitled: “Who can suggest most ways of being merciful to the beaten foe?” And the beaten foe, in the very hour of defeat, was gassing and mur- dering women and children. L R., those initials after Bill’s signature: A De- troit colyumist thinks they will now be changed to “I Was.” The German people, however, are simply wiping out the “Wilhelm” part of the sig- nature and letting the initials stand for initiative and referendum. Hindenburg let the oat out of the bag when he said to his army, “By the armistice terms we are heavy task.” BISMARCK DAILY TRIB But} Bismarck friends of Dr. May Flem- ing, who for a year was _ associated with the Bismarck hospital, and who was prominent in the work of the First Presbyterian church during her stay in| 3 city, are- rejoicing ov rst.f vs recelved from her si of the American 'Presby*t pital at Tabriz, Persia, With which shg became connected .:in . 1914, by the Turks, Dr. Fleming with other Amer- ican members ofthe staff. was driven from the hospital at Tabriz early last summer,. and nothing further was learned of. her faté until this week, when Miss Ruby Shuman, a Bismarck friend, received a Jetter written’ by-Dr. Fleming to an associate at-the Taylor county training sch@el at Medford, Wis. The letter was written May 28. 1918. “There is no telling’ when this will get to you, if it ever does,” writes” Dr. Fleming, under’a. Tabriz date line. “Since the beginning of the year we have been practicaidly shut off from the | rest of the world.

Franklin Bell, U. S. A. for its honorary chairman and two hundred of the most eminent men and women in the country on its national commit- tee. Under the direction of Vivian hBurnett, author and composer, who investigated the needs in camps and overseas, an effort is being made to reach every home in the country where there is a phonograph, and to persuade the owner thereof to con- tribute all of his idle or discarded records as‘a patriotic sacrifice for the men in service. Besides the thou- sands of men and women working on the 500 and more local. committees, 15,000 music lovers and musicions are joining in the effort not only to make of the week a series. of red letter days in the annals of war time phil- anthropy, but tb-keep ‘a steady stream of machines and records going from the homes of the country to the men at the front thre) hout the period of the war. é vysiteenes¥7 The corps, witeh was orgemized by Mr. Burnett asa result of his ob- servations of the beneficent work the phonograph is doing in training and concentration camps, dugouts, hos- pitals and on battleships, submarines and transports, will coordinate with the well recognized war relief activ- ities which have been made to fur- nish fighting-men with the much need- ed music in its most compact, serv- iceable and. -transportable form. » “Just what physical drill, with its rythm ‘and. precision, does for the body, music does for the mind,” says Mr, Burnett in appealing to every music lover in the country to fall in with the new movement. “By sending to our fighters, through phonograph music, the great songs of all the great artists, the stirring patriotic marches and hymns, the ‘home songs’ which thrill and inspire-the men, we are do- ing no small part toward winning the war. A nation’s morale and its music go together—food, shelter, clothing, ammunition and music make up the indispensible factors that insure vic- tory. Musicians have helped in fur- nishing all these factors. They have a chance to contrbute what they them- serves understand and love most of all. music itself. “Since the preliminary announce- ment of our movement letters have been flocking in, from camps, from tank corps, from aviation stations, \from munition workers, from over- seas. Great ags-I knew ‘the need to be, I have been overwhelmed by the response .that has come from the men themselves. They ask for ragtime, for ‘home songs’, for orchestral rec- ords, for operatic selections, for band music, for evey sort: of tune that ever was played. We have learned that every: assortment of records- we send out must, have a catholic taste. A dif- ferent sort of inspiration comes from each record, and men who have hard- individual efforts as with those of all} .of place.” MUSIC.TO:TUNE OF “MILLION RECORDS SOUGHT ly time to think can. gain fresh cour- ; age and strength from a few notes of a'song. “Slacker Record Week’ will rout the idle, unplayed discs and set them to;work. ‘It also should bring in w machines, new records and needles,'ienough to keep the boys /in music till they come backto hear’ it in their own homes.” Whether peace comes suddenly or whether hostilities are prolonged the need of the fighters for entertainment will continue until the last unit has ‘been demobilized and each individual soldier and sailor has returned to cvil life. In the event of Germany sur- rendering, our millions of soldters will find themselves mewed up for months in the enforced occupation of German strongholds along the Khiné. Theo there will be the long drawn out pro- cess of demobilization after the final victory is attained. In both these in- stances the military authorities will have upon their hands a~vast army of men resting on their arms, men suddenly released from the inhibitions of wartime activity, men craving amusement, and_ relaxation, + mental, moral, physical. Such men will need amusement as they never need it in the stirring time of war, and not to have the right sort of amusement and plenty of it, will entail conse- quences of the utmost seriousness to the future welfare of the men, wheth- er the lull is only an armistice or the forerunner of a permanent peace. For this reason the movement to collect and send records will be continued un- til the last American troops have’ re- turned ito their homes. In accepting his office as head of the national ‘committee, @eneral Bell wrote: The person who gives a record to the soldiers gives’ something that will cheer and inspire them. ~ At'the'front, the fighters’ need for music ig recog- nized: and his officers see that he gets it.
