i iZ THE PRINCETON /UNION BT R. C. DTOfrN.i". TERMS$1.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. $1.50 OUTSIDE THE STATE. Office: First Street, East of Court House "Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right but our Country, right or wrong." They are knitting, knitting, kniting some socks and some their brows. If Van Lear is not very, very care ful he will find himself dehorsed and trampled on. The employes of the kaiser in this country must go. Out with these an archistic sneaks! Some people are so absentminded that they even applaud the heroine in the moving picture show. Frank Day advises his readers "never to take hold of a loose wire." The teaching of experience, Frank? The latest art is camouflage. It is purely a war art and means the ren dering invisible of men, forts, guns, etc. There is said to be one editor in heaven. Hard to believe, but if true, he evidently "put one over" on St. Peter at the pearly gates. It wouldn't be a bad idea to intern that so-called "people's council" within an electrically-charged barbed wire inclosure somewhere near New Ulm. Kaiser Bill has decorated the noto rious Count Von Bernstorff with the iron cross. In the United States he Was also decoratedwith the double cross. Here is an odious comparison which is particularly pertinent from the St. Paul Dispatch- "In Germany spies are shot. In America a spy is almost as safe as a footpad in Minneapolis." Brown county, according to the Red wood Gazette, is, not altogether hope less. The paper gives the names of three patriots living in that country. Glory be! This is indeed a good show ing. The great style experts of the coun try are denouncing the "extravagant use of dress material by fashion mod- els." Would it be possible for these young ladies to wear less and escape arrest Those American girls who fear that the French girls may captivate their soldier beaux may console themselves with the knowledge that there are none of these vivacious mam'selles in the trenches. Sweden has decided to stop exports of fish to Germany. If the Swedish government had been looking after its own interests instead of those of the kaiser it would have come to this conclusion long ago. A gang of Irish rowdies attacked American sailors in the streets of Cork the other day. Those Irish Sin Feiners are on a par with our Ameri can I. W. Ws. The British govern ment is too lenient in its treatment of the cowardly Irish rebels. Every mother's son of them ought to stretch hemp. McMillan, the arctic explorer, who recently returned to civilization, says that Doc. Cook did not reach the north polethat the farthest point made by him was many days' journey distant. As McMillan is a man of varacity, we hereby denounce Cook as a lying hum bug, but we are compelled to admit that there was a time he succeeded in "putting one over" on us. South Dakota has organized a Farmers' union, the aim of which is to fight for control of the rural vote at future elections. It is reall/'an organ ization to challenge the'nonpartisan league in its machinations, and its in corporators feel confident that they can "tear the first-named association to shreds." So far as we can see neither of them have any reason for existence. Albert Pfaender, the New Ulm at torney who made speeches at anti draft meetings, will have an oppor tunity to tell his story 'before the ethics committee of the NMinnesotathe Bar association at a public hearing on September 14, when charges will be brought against him to determine whether he shall be disbarred from practice. Whosoever preaches dis loyalty to the government should re ceive severe punishment. At this particular time the people's council" is in the same boattas the I. W. W.it has great~d|gicui$y folding ground whereon to Ritcfi its tent. Let us keep both hordes'of Mese treason impregnated agitators on the move. Wilson has ordered that a cut of half a cent a pound be made on print paper used for publishing the govern ment's daily official bulletin. This will bring it down to two and a half cents per pound. Why not make this order national in its scope, Mr. President? Remember that the newspaper boys are now at the mercy of a combination of robbersthe print paper trust. Up at Chisholm the public has been notified by the school board that no aliens will hereafter be employed as teachers in that city. From this it is to be concluded that heretofore aliens have been engaged to teach pupils in the public schools. Why this practice was permitted we do not know, but it is poor policy at any time, whether or not we are at war. There are plenty of American teachers in the country, and they only should be employed. It is to be regretted that the govern ment has not established a strict cen sorship over the letters purporting to come from the German front from press correspondents. There is ample evidence that these fellows, or many of them, are in the employ of th kaiserthat they are working hand in glove with the despot and disseminat ing stories in the United States through the daily papers dictated by the brute's agents. The reichstag has given the kaiser four weeks' time to institute reforms which it enumerates, and if the de mand is not complied with the majority party will take steps to enforce it. It would appear that Germany is on the brink of serious internal disturbances, and unless the kaiser mends his ways he is liable to find himself dethroned and imprisoned in a fortress. This would prove the best thing that ever happened for the common people of Germany. A German newspaper says that the kaiser carries a steel-armored bible in his inside pocket directly over his heart. In the first place it has been our impression that the kaiser does not possess a heart, and in the second that he never approaches the battle front so closely that there is ever any danger of an enemy being able to "draw a bead" on him. Now, if Bill Hohenzollern is such a chum of the Lord as he pretends to be, why is it necessary for him to encase his bible in armor? The food administration committee has fixed a price of $2.20 per bushel for No. 1 northern wheat at Chicago. The price at St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth will be three cents less. Differ entials between grades and classes of wheat and between primary markets have also been specified. From the prices set forth in the commission's schedule is to be deducted the cost of transportation and storage. It is ex pected that the action of the commis sion wyll have theJ effect of reducing the price of bread. But this remains to be seen. "May those be damned who talk of a cessation of hostilities at this time." Those were among the words spoken by Premier Kerensky of Russia at the Moscow conference a few days ago. Strong language but it had its desired effect upon the gathering of represen tatives of all classes of people. They cheered Kerensky and declared that an overwhelming majortiy is deeply dem ocratic and prepared to make sacrifices for liberty and the defense of the country. Under Kerensky Russia is pulling herself together and will doubt less redeem herself within a short time. It is an actual fact, says a Copen hagen dispatch, that Norway and Swe den are dn the verge of starvation. These countries are now suffering from a lack of foresight. When they pos sessed food, in plenty they sold it to Germany, and now that they have nothing left to sell the Germans are helping'themselves to the cargoes in the premises. So Mollycoddle Van Lear, son of the socialist mayor of Minneapolis, and Mollycoddle Morrill, son of the psalm singing "Go-Lightly," who claimed ex emption from draftone because he i& a socialist anda the other for the reason that hetis-i necessary* to his father's church-r-have been certified to adjutant general. This will make very pleasant reading for the parents of those brave boys who, without an attempt at evasion, said "Good bye, father good bye, mother we have en listed and are now going f6%rthl*Jt- 1 assist our/country in fighting its bat- tles." The county fair is the fair which should interest the farmer. The state fair is merely a scheme to attract the country people to the big cities, there to blow in their money on the "bar gain" counters of the department stores for something they-could buy at home for a fourth of the price. The Commercial Men's association,' a health and accident insurance asso ciation, has ordered Albert Steinhauser and L. A. Fritsche of New Uftn and A. J. Alwin of Mound to either resign their offices in the organization or a meeting will -be called to remove them. Thus do traitorous personages receive their just punishment. "There will be no exemption of farmers as a class from the draft," declares President Wilson "I feel that a class exemption would lead to many difficulties and to many heartburnings, "much as I should personally like to see all genuine farmers left at their in dispensable labors." The president1 says, however, that no farmers will be I called to camp until this season's harvest is over. This is the only i mi t1 ruling Mr. Wilson coul, justly make 4.4. But the matter. _, "What does Wilson's reply to the', can be crushed, whether it takes three months or three years to accomplish and French army officersspecialists trench warfarewill be assigned to training camps in the United States. These experts will not come into direct contact with the American troops, but, will act in the capacity of consulting boards for the American officers. A group of eight or ten European mili tary men will be stationed at each training camp. The idea is a good one, as the troops will thus be able to be come familiar with trench work be fore being transported to France. Constituents of Lundeen, the anti draft congressman, have drawn up resolutions and forwarded them to the representativeor misrepresentative declaring him to be "unfaithful to his country" and demanding his resig nation forthwith so that the district can "purge itself of the stain which is TT tive AsherthW.mass Howard deliveredh ad- dresses at meeting whic de nounced Lundeen.

At the instance_of the business men of ^Montevideo the three newspapers of that citythe Leader, the Com mercial and the Advertiserhave been merged, and one good strong paper will be issued instead of the three, with Ludwig Roe, formerly associate editor of the Northfield News as editor-in-chief. The change will be appreciated by the business men and subscribers alike. There are too many weak, struggling newspapers that are of no benefit to their publishers or the public.
