Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers
THE KAISER'S LETTER
His majesty, the kaiser, hears
that you have sacrificed nine sons
in defense of the fatherland in
the present war. His majesty is
immensely gratified at the fact,
and in recognition is pleased to
send you his photograph, with
frame and autograph signature.
The woman to whom the above
letter was sent has since become
a beggar for food on the streets
of Delmonhors-Oldenburg, accord
ing to the newspapers. What canj
be said of the vanity of a ruler
who thinks he is conferring com
fort on a bereaved mother by
sending his photograph? How
simple and from the heart, is the
letter of Abraham Lincoln in the
next,column.
AN EDITOR OUT OF DATE
Libby, Mont."
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
Inclosed .find a clipping from the
Daily Interlake. It sure is/laughable
to see his opinion of the organization
of the Nonpartisan league. If the
editor wants to be heard, it's^of no use
to come with .such theories. We
Leaguers are following present times
but this editor is following the times
of 50 years ago. I am a member of
the Nonpartisan league and for this
reason, that it is to reduce middlemen
that take their living out of producers'
and consumers' pockets. We all come
to this world with the same privilege
to work our way. Let's be friends
instead of enemies. We must have
better ideas than in centuries past.
The Leaguers' Marching Song
(Tune: "Marching Through Georgia.")
Bring the same old bugle, boys, and sing a Leaguer song
Sing it with the vim and "pep" that starts the world along
Sing it as Dakota sang it eighty thousand strong,
While we are marching to victory.
CHORUS
Hurrah, hurrah, our dreadnought's on the sea,
Hurrah, hurrah, the League will make you free,
So we'll sing this chorus until all the people see
We stand for justice, right and freedom.
"Townley's crowd of country rubes will never win the game,"
So Dakota's old gang said before election came
But they left them far behind, all bruisecNand sore and lame,
While they were marching to victory.
CHORUS.
While they were marching to victory.
CHORUS.
Yes, and there were girls and boys and women, worn and old,
Who fairly laughed and danced for joy when they the news were told,
As o'er Dakota's billowy plains ,the gladsome tidings rolled,
While Rube was marching to victory.
CHORUS.
So they started the whole gang down a steep toboggan slide,
Without a single ray of hope or friendly hand to guide,
And many more shall share their fate through all the country wide,
While Rube is marching to victory.
CHORUS.
Two Letters That Tell a Story
tainly the parents of America's fallen have the comfort
ifl of knowing that their boys died in a worthy cause, and
that the leaders of the nation appreciate the sacrifice.
This contrast between dying for empire and dying for right is
clearly illustrated in two letters. One is from the kaiser to a Ger
man mother whose nine sons have died in the present war. The
other is from President Lincoln to a mother who had lost five sons
in the Civil war:
C. A. CARLSON.
its k:' •... v, JpAGE
./
v- .. ..
How the farmers chuckled when they cast their Leaguer vote,
For they felt quite certain they had got the old gang's goat,
How the very hills and valleys echoed back the note,
—A. CHANNING BLAIR.
HAT does it mean to fight for democracy Isn't it bet
ter to have died for freedom than for autocracy? Cer-
LINCOLN'S LETTER
Dear Madam: I have been
shown in the files of the war de
partment a statement of the ad
jutant general of Massachusetts
that you are the mother of five
sons who have died gloriously on
the field of battle. I feel how
weak and fruitless must be any
'words of mine which should at
tempt to beguile you from the
grief of a loss so overwhelming.
But I can not refrain from ten
dering to you the consolation that
may be found in the thanks of the
republic they died to save. I pray
that our-Heavenly Father may
assuage the anguish of your be
reavement and leave you only the
cherished memory of, the loved
and lost, and the solemn pride'
that must be yours to have laid
so costly a sacrifice upon the altar
of freedom.
TOO WISE TO BE TRICKED
Beulah, N. D.
Editor Nonpartisan Leader:
I ain not a member of your League,
nor have I seen one of its publications
for the last four -months. But I do
know that many times -during the last
50 years the farmers have attempted
to unite in self-defense, each time to
be disrupted by shrewd politicians
until North Dakota found a leader
able to unite" iand hold them together
long enough to win. And tfiat now
"Big Biz," as you call it,- concludes
that the only way to outwit them is
•to turn their guns on and destroy
these leaders, or disrupt the League
in an attempt. Hence it is to be
hoped that the farmers have become
too ,wise to be tricked in that way.
