AND, THE EMERGENCY HAS ARISEN. our very xoi*ijr space to the candidacy of GergtRhea of BemMji or theoffice of register of deeds and in the course of its remarks the Light says that the entry of Mr. Rhea "inexplicable," as he has a position as "cashier of one of the leading banks of the caunty with unlimited tenure." The Light then goes on to say 'Turthermore the general feeling is that an should vote for a man who is competent and at the same time needs the employment." It is reasonable to presume that any man iias the great American privilege of being a candidate for an elective office, no matter whether he has wealth or not a nickel to his name. Mr. Rhea is not cashier of one of the leading banks ot the county, although it is acknowledged the bank is one the lead- ing financial concerns of Beltrami. i& .assistant cashier ami a wage earner. In other words, he has a job. He is not seeking the office because he "needs it." Mr. Rhea doesn't believe a public office is a charitable institution. Like any other can- didate he feels he is fully qualified to fill the position and if defeated will not exhibit any saffron hue m.-fete-nmkeup. The candidate espoused personally by the Northern Light is a splendid man. No question about that. But we of the southern part of the county never heard of his needing a political office to mke a living, being the success in business that he is. ,Why inject the personal gimlet sounding the praises oi any particular primary candidate, so- long as it effects ^another who is a man of reputation, standing, miquestioned buBihess ability and loyalty? The giant is awake at last. Itlias taken a year of sustained offort, and the mobilizing of an army of close to two million men, before we awoke from our stambfeer, but we are wide awake at last, and doing thingswith a big D. Government departments are running smoothly, and the great machinery of war is at last forging ahead. Huge stores of supplies of every conceivable description are being rushed across the Atlantic Army after army is beinsr trained and dis- patched, until the American forces and equipment on the other side are fast attracting the attention of the would tfd sending cold shivers up and down the German spine. The Kaiser's boast to Mr. Gerard, that he had 500^000 German reservists in this country, and ready to take up arras at his word of command, has the ring of a huge joke. If they are here, they at least know how to preserve whole skins. We have hit our stride at last, and now let's keep it up till complete victory is ours. Kaiserism, with its attendant train of evils, must perish from the earth. And let us not for one moment forget, that AMERICA IS THE DECIDING FACTOR IN THE WAR. Vigorous steps should be taken to punish any person con- victed of originating false rumors of disasters* to our troops abroad. The families and friends have enough anxiety to bear, without being made the victims of irresponsibble sensation-i mongers.
