Why is it so difficult for people of different political opinions to credit the opposition with honost intentions? Since representative government be gan there has always been two schools of political thought, the conservative and the liberal, or in more recent par lance—the standpatter and the pro gressive. In the formation of our con stitutional government these schools were represented by two pre-eminent statesmen—Col. Alexander Hamilton and Thcmas Jefferson. Hamilton be lieved that the majority of the people were so liable to be swayed by pas sion or prejudice, that it was neces sary to limit its power by all kinds of constitutional checks and executive prerogatives He said there are only two governing principles among men, personal interest and fcrce On the other hand, Jefferson believed in the rule of the majority, whether right cr wrong, and was loath to believe that a majority of the people could not be trusted to do the right thing for their country. While holding such opposite views, and while Jefferson did finally win out and impress upon our nation in its early history more of his ideals of self-government, than did Hamil ton's followers, both men have gone down in history as great patriotic Americans who both helped shape the destinies of America, and lay the foundations for the great country -which is today the hope of the world If the world had remained as it was a hundred and fifty years ago, there would probably been less need of pro gressives or radicals to keep urging changes in government to meet new conditions For instance, the high ways in those days were the navigable rivers and water courses, and the wagon roads. See how carefully the rights of navigation were guarded in the early days, and have remained so tc this day. Since theft, however, the railroads have become the real high ways of the nation, mud Home of the greatest political battle* of the West -were fought, to secure In the first in stance, government control* by Means of legislation and commiaaioaft, and during-^Jore decent year* for the ab solutg^ffixuittjt ewnerahlp, especi "'j*ns* "Ifre were con jjposed to gov- tpnwMpI is calling many women of our country into commercial and industrial activities. This releases men for military service. To the women "over here" who are backing up our boys "over there", this Institution would extend every encouragement. Our banking facilities are avail able and we cordially invite consultation. ernment ownership and progressives who believed that if the door of oppor tunity is to remain open to all, the in struments of commerce must be ad ministered by the common government which alone is able to approximately maintain equal rights to all and give special privileges to none. Then think of the many other de velopments made, each one presenting new problems for the social order to solve But thru it all, you can trace the standpatter and the progressive— those who profited by the existing or der and therefore placed their whole weight into the breeching of the har ness, and those who wanted to better their conditions and chances for ad vancement, and pulled ahead. The great war which has engulfed us, and into which our nation has been called to take a leading part in order to vindicate free government on earth, has not abolished these two schools of political endeavor. Indeed, on the other hand, like in many other lines of work, the shams and artifices of the professional politicians are being burn ed away in the fiery furnace of the nation's great need, and we may look for a realignment of political thought on logical lines more easily compre hended and understood by the lay mind. Instead of the two dominant parties representing distinct lines of political thought, each is at present divided into conservative and radical wings It was the progressive wing of the Democratic party under the leadership of Bryan that gave Wilson to the world. But even now the as cendancy of the bourbon element of the Democratic party is so great that it will certainly tax the progressive element to the limit to be able to con tinue the rule which has so auspici ously begun to apply the principles of "The New Freedom." In this state we had the humiliating spectacle of the representative gathering of the Democratic party deliberately spurning the support of the farmers of the state, the class of citizens that has in all times been the bulwark of free institutions. It lost its chance to become the real virile political party of the state instead of merely an op portunist organization kept up to pro fit by the mistakes of the opposition. This is the second time within twenty years this mistake has been made And this only because its editors, al most all publishers of country dailies and weeklies, refuse to study the prob lems cf democracy with an open mind and do a little independent thinking They follow too closely the lead of the great news organs, unfortunately in most cases owned by special interests which profit by the old order and are afraid of anything new. There is going on right now a re alignment cf the political forces of the nation, which may have the greatest consequences in tow for the future. Are you going to stick your head into the sand and let the storm sway you either way it blows, or are you going to determine on which side you belong, and take a man's part in shaping things according to your honest con victions arrived at after a fair investi gation? Thomas Jefferson, while Secretary of State in Washington's cabinet, openly expressed his sympathy for.the cause of the French Revolution, when other governments were preparing tc invade France and restore order. The atmosphere at New York became so unpleasant for Jefferson that he re signed his portfolio. Yet, later he was elected president by the aid of some of these who were radically opposed to his ideas, and had he lived to this day he would have seen long parades in all the cities of the United States celebrating the anniversary of the fall of the Bastille, on July 14. Verily, there is little comfort in the progress of events these days for the standpat ter. Our War Intentions. "We intend what our forefathers, the founders of this Republic, in tended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway deci sion is conceivable. "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which can never be crushed to earth again for they have in their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph."—From the Presi dent's Mount Vernon Address. SENATOR REED ON PARTY PAT RIOTS. Will it be from the national capital the death blow will be dealt efforts to capitalize patriotism for partisan pur poses? Observers here are beginning to see a break in what might be called the conscription of intellect The hys teria that shouted "disloyalty" at any one who differed in opinion from the shouter had reached even to the con gress of the United States. In a speech in the senate July 12 Senator Reed of Missouri flayed this practice and admonished his colleagues against denying the right of free speech to senators who might differ from the majority. He said: "We ought to quit scolding each other because we venture to have an opinion. It is our business to have opinions, and we ought to quit chal lenging the good faith of members of this body. "Mr. President, I have never read in histcry a story of such loyalty as is manifested through out this entire land. I believe if we could do what the Almighty can do—open the heart of every man and every woman in this country—we should see there the. story of a deathless love of coun try such as has never been en graven upon the hearts ot any other people. "There are a few people who may be disloyal, there area few criminals born every day, there is a certain per centage of criminals born on this earth in every country and clime, just as there is a certain percentage of the deformed and of the insane but there is not as great a percentage of dis loyalty in the United States today, in my judgment, as there is of insanity. "Liook at the picture. We promul gate a law under which every boy or every man between 21 and 31 must leave his home at whatever sacrifice. They have left their homes and you can count almost upon the fingers ot your hand the numbers of those who resisted the draft. Four and a halt millicn of them are in camps or are on their way to camps, and nearly 500,000 more have voluntarily joined the navy ot the United States. 1 have visited some of these camps I have heard the soldiers discuss their hard ships with laughter on their lips they jeer and laugh over their difficulties they make light of them and upon the tongue of every man I have talked with theie has been one expression —the desire that the order forward to France shall soon come, that he may be permitted to do his duty. "YET YOU CONSTANTLY FIND A LOT OF CHEAP FELLOWS TRY ING TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE LOYAL BY DENOUNCING EVERY BODY ELSE. I have heard senators of the United States denounced for their disloyalty who, with tears in their eyes, have put their arms about their fijrst born and said, "It is your duty to enlist and follow the flag." I have heard great ^newspaper men ac cused of disloyalty who have given millions of their money to the coun try's cause. These evil stories are re ported from lip to lip and from tongue to tongue, until at last they reach in side the German lines, and when they get there the Germans are convinced that we have riot and bloodshed and disloyalty and that the government is about to be overthrown. We are read ing some stories from there now that may be similarly exaggerated I hope they are not. "If I could write a certificate to send to the kaiser of Germany, I would write this: 'There are 104,000,000 people in the United States they are not Republicans they are not Demo crats they are patriots, willing to spend their last dollar and to drain their veins dry in the cause of their country, and, until you have crushed that indomitable spirit that thrills their souls, and until you have de stroyed all of their men, you can not succeed. Long before that hour can come your throne will totter, your 3cepter will be broken, the bloody sword will fall from your palsied hand, and your own enslaved people will rise to bless the flag that bears the emblem of America, for it will also be to them the emblem of liberty.'" Our Transportation Problems. Some of our national transporta tion problems and difficulties can be better understood when it is remem bered that in the northeastern section of the United States, including New York, Pennsylvania, adjoining States, and New England, the population is 693 persons to every mile of railroad in the South the figures are 407 per sons per mile and in the West, 252. There are 15 square miles of land to every mile of railrcad in the West, while in the East there is 1 mile of railroad to every 5 square miles of land. There are innumerable facto ries in this eastern theatre, and the bringing in of coal and raw material and the carrying out of manufactured products make up a tremendous freight tonnage. The Railroad Administration is solving gradually many problems. By the elimination of many unnecessary passenger trains several thousand en gines are diverted from passenger to freight traffic, which relieves the situ ation materially. Also by loading the freight cars to full capacity a great saving is being accomplished. Rout ing freight by the most direct route, and other methods adopted by the ad ministration, are doing much to ease the strain on our transportation facili ties. United States Revenues. The internal-revenue collections for the fiscal year ending June 30 last totaled $3,672,000,000. The collections for the preceding year were $800,000, 000. This year's collections exceed by nearly $200,000,000 the estimates made when the war revenue measures were passed by Congress last year. Four thousand persons were em ployed in the work and the total cost of the collection was only $12,000,000 The patriotism roused by the war contributed largely to the success of the work, and the taxpayers assisted and cooperated with the Government, A determined effort will be made to bring to book tax evaders in every part of the country. The Treasury already has evidence against a large number who have sought to evade taxes, and by checking up contracts and with other data the Government expects finally to discover and pun ish many tax evaders, as well as re cover large amounts of revenue ille gally withheld.

The Ford car driven by Albert Thompson together with three of his chums wasi badly damaged as the re suit of an accident which occurred Sunday night. Albert, with his friends was returning about eleven o'clock from Tripolis, when while about to round a curve in the road, his car was crashed into by another Ford and turned off the road and up a steep bank where it remained until pulled down. Albert firmly declares he was driving on the right side of the read but confesses that his bright lamp may have blinded the eyes of the other driver and thus caused him to swerve away from, his side of the road. Fortunately no one was hurt but both cars suffered damages which are being repaired at the Ford Service Station. —Zolphia Larson left Monday for Chicago after a three week's visit with her paremtsi, Mr. and Mrs. Swan Lar son of this city. W*^/N/\^V///\/\/%/N/WWWW%/N/VWS*N/WWW**W\^*^^W»^^*WW^^ Major Larkin at Dreamland. Major Roe Chase of Anoka waa so impressed with Sergeant Major James Larkin, who is putting on tho "Fool ing Fritz" act and who will be at Dreamland Friday of this week, that he has invited him to address hie en tire command at its next mobilization. "I have twice seen him in public," said Major Chase, "and I personally know that he is interesting, clean, edu cational and that he awakens* new activity along patriotic lines." In Minneapolis*, Captain W. J. Tea* huno, Commanding Officer of the Dun woody Naval Institute, assembled his Jackies in honor of Sergeant Major Larkin and following the Sergenat Major's talk and demonstration, the 1200 men present did him the excep tional honor of delivering th«ir famous "sky-rocket" salute. Commander Ter hunie took the trouble to express his gratitude to Sergenat Major Larkin in writing, in which he said "Please accept my sincere thanks for your most interesting appearance before the Naval student battalions here Saturday morning, July 6. Your talk of the interesting events of your career, particularly at the front line trenches in France, were very inter esting and your illustrations of the methods employed in bayonet fight ing were most instructive. All the ONE DAY IN CAMP When it's five-fifteen in the morning and the bugler sounds first call, And the Sergeant yells "Outside," "Come now, one and all," And I step outside the barracks and everything is fresh with dew. Naval students appreciated most warmly the interest displayed by you and this applies with equal force to all officers then present." The Sergeant Major was a member of the first contingent in Canada, go ing over as a volunteer at the out break of the war, and high Canadian officer® are strong in their praise for him, and Major Gerald O'Grady ot Ottawa, on behalf of the Canadian army, says1: "Sergeant Major James Larkin was an instructor on my staff for same months and as such his personal hab its and general qualifications are of the best. As an instructor in physi cal and bayonet training he is an ex ceptionally capable man. His charac ter during the length of time for which he has been In the army is exemplary." When it's reveille in the morning, Dear, my thoughts then turn to you When it's seven-fifteen in the morning and the sick call then is heard, You roll up your right sleeve and walk in without a word, They jab a needle in your arm, and they make you like it, too, At Pimie City, J. Adam Bede's town, where Sergeant Major appeared under Home Guardspecial arrangements by the Minnesota Home Guard, the Pine Poker, in commenting on the Ser geant Major's appearance, said in part: "Sergeant Major Larkin is a clean cut soldier, a picture of physical manr hood and a keen reliable gentleman in his appearance both on and off the platform. He has had a wide ex perience in military affairs, although still a young man, and bears the dis tinction of having been a member of the crack English Light Horse Artil lery before the present great world war. His appearance on the platform was inspiring and greatly enjoyed." Major Larkin's act at Dreamland Friday is guaranteed to be a Patriotic treat. Entertained at Lunch. Then to make the misery lighter, Love, my thoughts then turn to you. When it's seven-thirty and drill call and everyone gets in line, It's squads right and four left, quick and double time. When I am tired, worn, and weary, just sore, through and through, It makes it all seem lighter. Girl, for my thoughts turn to you. When it's eleven-thirty and recall from both dTyll and work, Both of which the Engineers have never been known to shirk, And I come back to my quarters, then, of course, don't feel so blue, For now it's time for rest, so I just 8 it and think of you. When it's one-fifteen in the afternoon, an unearthly sound is made, It's nothing in the world but fatigue call, get a shovel or a spade, And I try to make this hilltop look like the valleys do, Mrs F. J. Hallin was the hostess at a picnic lunch at her cottage at Eagle Lake Friday afternoon. The after noon wes spent in knitting and at cards. Those present were Mrs. A Schollln, Mrsi. A. P. Losleben and daughter, Mrs. E. K. VanDyke, Mrs. S. O. Diffendorf and daughter, Mrs L. H. Wetherby, Mrs. C. Goff, Mrs. M. Winney and Mrs. Walter Sperry. —Mr. and Mrs. D. N. Tallman and daughters Esther and Helen will leave tomorrow for a months' stay at the Lafayette club at Minnetonka Beach —Ward Wakefield of Dunwoody In stitute spent Sunday with hiis cousin, Kenneth Wakefield in this city. But it makes the old pick lighter, Love, when my thoughts turn back to you. When it's five-thirty in the evening and retreat and all is done, And I set and smoke my pipe and watch the setting of the sun, And I watch the smoke above the pipe forming rings so round and blue, I see a face in each ring, my Love, and of course, the face is you. When it's ten o'clock at night and taps are blown so very low, I lay awake athinking of the times not long ago, And all my thoughts are of one girl, whom I know is true, Then I go to sleep and dream, and all my dreams are then of you. But, when the German stops his murdering and raiding on the sea, And the submarines are all sunk and the German soldiers dee, And the Kaiser doffs his helmet to the Old Red, White, and Blue, With the rest of this victorious bunch, then I'll return to you. —Written by I. G. Nelson, Co B. 68 Eng Camp Leach. PATRIOTISM A. & Bicai J. fcQVAlJI Ties Frestient Patriotism and Thrift are inseparable. This is as true as that the good citizen is the patriotic and dependable citizen. The saving man believes in and practices economy and dis cipline is a man of discretion because he spends his money wisely. The man who saves his money is always equipped —patriotic, thrifty and saving—is the most useful of all citi zens to his country in time of need. It is the privilege and desire of the officers of this bank through its many facilities, but particularly the opportunities it affords in the payment of interest on deposits, to be of practical assistance to any and all who want to practice Thrift and Economy in this crisis that we are now passing through. Our office rooms are at your disposal Plan to make use of them for meetings or correspondence. You will "find our office force courteous and anxious to please.

A Boost For Rest Room. Mrs. Stella Woolf who appeared in Willmar with one of the show com panies expresses her appreciation of Willmar's Rest Room. "Having been a traveler for several years, I have had occasion to be in a great many different towns, but in none of tihem have I had the oppor tunity of enjoying a more homelike public rest room than the one sup ported in this town. "It is certainly one of the most im portant assets1 of a country town to provide a rest room, for its country patrons and iflheftr tired children, but also to the traveler merely passing through. "In some country towns I have taken notice the principal department store had the only available rest room, con sequently the women and children went there to rest,—and incidentally they did their trading there as well. So it is reasonable to suppose that if a public rest room were provided by the town, there would not be such a strong incentive for the patronage of one store, simply because it provided thisi convenience. "Willmar is very fortunate to have such a pleasant and congenial lady as it public rest room matron, and the writer spent several pleasant hours in her company. "We shall always remember Will mar as a thriving and up to date lit tle city, and its rest room is certainly its essential public utility." Canoe Overturns. A lucky escape was the exciting ex perience of Miss Catherine Tew and Fred Hallin at Eagle Lake Sunday afternoon. They were about to cress the lake in their canoe but the strong wind blowing rendered the canoe unmanageable. When Miss Tew was about to change her position in the canoe, she lost her balance and fell backwards into the water. Fred, in an effort to control the boat, likewise was rocked out of it and found himself with the young lady chinning the water. It was, indeed, fortunate that the water was shallow and the parti cipants' of the experience fully realize It. Assigned to Naval Station. Arthur G. Erickson, son of Alder man and Mrs. G. A. Erickson, who has been in training the past six weeks at Dunwoody Institute at Minneapolis as a carpenter's mate in Aviaticn, has been promoted to a first class petty officer and assigned to duty at a naval experimental station at New London, Conn. He leaves to take up his new duties this week. Now In France.
