Kniei»4 as Second Class Matter at the Post
office at New Ulm. Minnesota
Offieial paper of City of New Ulm.
This year more than at any previous
time in the history of this country the
voters will votie for principle rather
than for man. One of the issues before
the voters of this country at this time
is whether or not we should enact legis
lation calling for universal military
service. If you are in favor of universal
military service similar to the kind that
is in vogue in Germany, France, Austria,
and Russia and other European countries
then you should hot fail to vote for
Knute Nelson for Senator at the pri
mary election, June 17. If you are
against militarism and you should go
into the Republican Primaries then, of
course, you would vote for James A.
Peterson who is strongly opposed to
anything which smacks of German
militarism.
"Whom the gods wish to destroy
they first make mad." This adage is
as correct today as on the day when it
was penned and the baiters of the
Non-partisan League will find to their
sorrow that they have alienated from
their ranks a great many of the intelligent
voters who do not believe in persecution
and abase. One of the most asinine
things that the opponents of the Non
partisan League have perpetrated re
cently was the arrest of Chas. A. Lind
fcerg, candidate on the Republican
ticket for the office of governor of Min
nesota and who has the endorsement of
the Non-partisan League. He was ar
rested at a meeting in Martin Co. be
fore he had an opportunity to even utter
one ward. He is now at liberty under
$1000 bonds. Another foolish thing
that is being done is the circulation
of cards bearing the inscription "Vote
for Hindenburg, Lindenburg, Lundeen
burg and let's all to. go Hell together."
Tactics like these are resorted to by
those who have no arguments that
appeal to common sense and justice,
meaning those whom the gods have
driven mad with fear lest they lose their
hold on their particular branch of the
political plum tree.
"THE LADIES' AUXILIARY"
By Elizabeth J. Hauser in The Public.
A gMiip or little boys a small town

few gay stripes on knickerbocker seams,
a' bright sash or two and a plumed hat.
In due season, with all this finery adorn
ed, they made their appearance in a
parade all their own. Proudly tooting
their horns and beating their drums,
they marched down the main street of
the village. A few paces behind the
last hoy trailed a bedraggled and sad
looking hen. She made the brave little
procession ridiculous, of course. An
interested spftetator hailed the band and
inquired "%hy the hen?" The boy who
was playing the comb removed that

Responsibility
When we advertise to give you in
speech ten or twelve years ago with
such effect that we laughed until the
congratulated ourselves, thank heaven,
that the day of. the ladies' auxiliary was
past. But it wasn't, and isn't. It is
still here, somewhat glorified" in ap
pearance because of women's work in
the war, but making the procession that
is marching forward under Democracy's
banner here in, the United States of
America ridiculous just the same. Which
we say with conviction, yet fully realiz
ing that fools rush in where angels
fear to tread, especially in the present
"touchy" state of the public mind.
The war comes, the government or
ganizes the Council of National De
fense, then appoints a woman's com
mittee of that Council. This National
Woman's Committee proceeds to appoint
state committees, and these state wo
men's committees proceed to organize
women's committees in the various
counties of their respective states. To
launch any organization under the handi
cap of such a name as "The Trumbull
County Women's Committee of the
Women's State Committee of the Ohio
Branch of the Council of National
Defense" is too much much too much.
In spite of the handicap, however,
these women's committes are expected to
help in all kinds of war work, not only
in sewing, knitting and conserving food,
which activities might be considered as
belonging distinctly to women, but in
raising funds for the Red Cross, the Y.
M. C. A., selling thrift stamps, and pro
moting the sales of Liberty Bonds among
women most of whom haven't any
money with which to buy them. These
women's committees must not encroach
upon the especial prerogatives of the
men's organizations, which are never
known as men's organizations, of course,
but as the War Board of Browntown,
the Jonesville War Work Alliance or
something of that sort.
In Cuyahoga county, Ohio, the other
day they met to foim, as a permanent
organization, a county war board which
shall have charge of each successive
drive ordered or endorsed by the Gov
ernment. Various organizations, among
them the Woman Suffrage Party of
Greater Cleveland, were called to the
meeting. The chaiiman of the Party,
Mrs. Roger G. Perkins, pledged the
active cooperation of her association, but
insisted that women must come into the
organization on exactly the same terms
as men, that they, must have representa
tion on all committees from the top
down, from the bottom up. It was
so ordered. There are three women,
able ones, on the Central Committee,
I there will be women in all the ward and
precinct committees. Men and women
will meet together and work together.

great women's organization the one
which has been working for the vote for
tears came, laughed some more, and then the women of the United States for more
than half a century organized and
equipped a hospital of unit women,
doctors as well as nurses, and offered it
to the United States. There is something
in governmental custom or in army red
tape, if not actually in law, which made
it impossible for the greatest democracy
on earth to accept the services of this
unit because it was composed of women.
So Uncle Sam was forced to decline the
offer. He did it politely, probably with
regret that the organization was, not a
ladies' auxiliary which could be attached
to something regular and masculine- and
thus made available. The National
Woman Suffrage Association thereupon
offered its hospital unit to France, which
accepted it with alacrity and gratitude
and assigned it to service.
And yet, the other day, according to
the newspapers, a woman doctor was
made a major in £he American army, and
so there's ground for hope. And again,
a few days later the War Department
provides two new decorations, a Dis
tinguished Service Cross and a Dis
tinguished Service Medal, to be con
ferred for heroic conduct upon any person
who has distinguished "himself or her
self," etc., etc. More ground for hope
that the ladies' auxiliary attitude of
mind will be swept away with a lot of
other rubbish by this war. If it is, then
the end of this war will see the women
of our pountry politically enfranchised.
When that day comes the dominant
parties will have toMearn (if they have
not already learned it) that the ordinary
political bunk will not do as a basis of
appeal to the great mass of women
voters. Something more than party
slogan must be invoked to arouse tlheir
interest, some other cry than that
"Republican and Democrats must
unite to defeat Socialists, Non-Partisan
Leaguers and Independents, because
only Republicans and Democrats know
what patriotism means and only they
can be trusted to save the country,"
must be taised to secure their support.
It will be necessary to emphasize con
structive measures to an unusual degree.
That women are doing-their share
towards winning the 'war goes without
saying, but war itself they hate. And
it is because they cannot reconcile them
selves to war that they are going to insist
(if they are in a position to be heard
and counted) that out of this war must
come some great good that it has got
to be justified by its results as well as
in speeches.

The Opeif Forum
The long expected calamity has
happened. Mount Philipius has had an
eiuption. Everybody that knew the
old volcano knew it was coming. We
saw the crater quivering for a long time.
Although we are looking for more such
eruptions, in the future, we hope this
has relieved the great elevation for the
time. Friend Philip has sat on the
fence for almost two years, his beaming
countenance exposed on both sides.
It certainly must have been a great re
lief when the safety commission came to
his rescue, with their order compelling
every male over sixteen years to engage
in some productive occupation. In his
last issue part of his editorial reads:
"In- every community, whether urban
or rural, there are those whose chief
occupation is to stir up strife. This is
done by* a non-working element, with
glib tongue." Some of our most noted
educators and statesmen, have time and
again declared there is nothing in the
county that has stirred up more strife
than the kept press. His record in that
line in this community is certainly great.
I suggest that his paper be eliminated
during the war, in order to give him a
chance to engage in some productive
occupation, preferably farming. There
is time for but one thing in this country
at this time of the game, and that is
for every individual to strain his energies
in assisting Uncle Sam and his allies to
win the/war. His place is on the farm,
because the farmers are right up next
to the president, while the majority of
the newspaper men are so far back, the
president cannot see them. What has
he done in comparison to what the farm
ers have^done in assisting the government
to win this war? The farmers are even
now organizing to better assist the U.
S. government. Pres. Wilson is doing
fine, he has taken over the railroads, and
is now considering taking over the tele
graph lines. As soon as we get organized
we will assist him in taking over the
mines, oil wells, packing plants, flour
mills, etc. Every bolsheviki editor who
has the interest of humanity at heart
ought to put his shoulders to the wheel
and give their best energies to the cause,
instead of assisting the profiteers, who
Pres. Wilson says are hampering the U.
S. government more than all the pro
germans put together. Let Friend Phil
put that in his pipe and smoke it.
The Man with the Hoe.
Another one of the boys from the
neighborhood of New Ulm who has made
good is Jacob F. Matsch who is at the
present time Warrant Officer Machinist
of the United States Navy. He is the
son of Mrs. Francisca Matsch of West
Newton and a brother of Sergeant
Frank Matsch of New Ulm and Wolf
gang and Wm. Matsch of West Newton.
He was formerly a member of Co. A.
and from here he left for Chicago where
he learned ±he machinists' trade. Six
years ago he joined the Navy as machin
ist and has been steadily working himself
up until now he holds the highest rank
that he can attain as a machinist. He
has charge of the boilers and engines of
the machine department of the ship
that he is on and has quite a number of
men under him. He has his own cabin
and is drawing $200 per month. For
the past year he has been in the danger
zone in European waters and is presum
ably doing convoy duty at the present
time.
A CANDIDATE WORTHY
YOUR SUPPORT
OF
The town of Eden has only had one
county official, since the history of
this county began, over 50 years ago.
In 1884, Alf Walton, was elected Reg
ister of Deeds and he served six years.
Now the town of Eden, over 30 years
later is a candidate for a favor in desir
ing the election of its favored son and
citizen, Edw. McGowan as register of
deeds. For the past twenty-five years
Mr. McGowan has been a resident of
the town, where he served as school
teacher, farmer, cleik of the town board,
besides holding other offices of trust
and responsibility. In every position
he has proved himself to he a man
worthy of any man. He is capable and
faithful, a prerequisite so necessary in
the life of any public servant. Mr. Mc
Gowan is a man of splendid presence,
a good mixer among his fellow nien,
an all around good fellow who will give
the
service. See to it*, that you giye him
your vote at the primaries. —Sleepy

OLD GLORY
Ours is the flag that stands for race, no king,
no creed—just a place where men are equal,
brothers all.
Old Glory means the best government the
years of time have yet produced. It repre
sents all the victories Liberty has won. It is
the inspiration of a united Nation on its up
ward path to bigger, better things.
The Star Spangled Banner means Ambition,
Success and Attainment. It is the flag ahead—
the flag that has led in the past and will con
tinue to lead in the years and years to come.
Stand up! Take off your hats! Salute!
Thank God that our Flag—your Flag—my Flag
waves on high, and that beneath it we stand
ready—Americans.
