STORIES OF BRAVERY DISPLAYED BY FIGHTING IRISH-AMERICANS
Boys of Ninth Massachusetts and Fighting Sixty-ninth of New York Die Fighting With Smiles on Their Lips, but Huns "Pay"— Yank, Taken Prisoner by Three Huns, Drops Grenade and Kills Captors and Self.
VOL. 34. NO 43
Paris.—"Will the Irish fight?" The same old answer may be made. They will. It can be made on the records of two famous Irish-American regiments in France. It is a record that makes men of Irish blood hold their heads high. It is a record that betters the brightest page of America's most glorious military annals. These two regiments (one used to be the old Ninth Massachusetts and the other the Fighting Sixty-ninth of New York) were in every bad scrap the American army has been in. The tails of their prowess are just now filtering back to Paris. They may be told because the censor at headquarters has now ruled that regiments may be named for their part in such fighting as preceded that on the River Vesle. The Ninth and the Sixty-ninth were in almost all of it. The story does not come from official reports. It comes from the lips of two men, one a doctor in the Ninth and the other a chapain in the Sixty-ninth, who saw what they relate. These two have seen many soldiers die. They know what bravery and courage and cheerfulness are. Lleut. Simon Kelleher of the Ninth was in Paris the other day. He tells the story of his boys. And most of the time he is either laughing, or tears involuntarily creep out the corners of his eyes and drop unashamed down his browned cheeks.
Lleutenant Kelleher's stories show that the Irish boy's of his regiment, the boys of Boston, South Boston, Roxbury, Cambridge and Charlestown, fought with the cool courage that held the fire on Bunker Hill until those Americans of an earlier day "saw the whites of their eyes." They show that these boys—and most of them were mere boys—died face to the front, a grim smile on their lips, fighting, doing their soldiers' duty to the last breath of ebbing life. Each heartbeat of the all-too-few left throbbed but to one purpose—to fight. No man of the Ninth died, says Lleutenant Kelleher, without taking toll and more of enemy lives with him.
One for Each Shot.
"Just now the names of these heroes may not be mentioned. But 'Kelly and Burke and Shea" are there, all of them, and many more. Lieutenant Kelleher says nothing of his own gallantry. But his stories show that he, too, served. He was not called on for the supreme sacrifice. But he offered his life a thousand times on first aid dressing expeditions to the farthest outposts and beyond.
"I'd been told there was a wounded man in an advanced traverse," he says. "I crawled slowly up to get him. I heard his labored breathing in the lulls of the gunfire. And then I rounded the corner of the trench. There he sat, propped against the wall. His breath came in tearing gasps and with each one the blood gushed from his chest; for he had been shot through the lungs. He was a boy I had known all my life.
"They got you bad, Pack,' I said, as I tried to help him.
"They sure did, Sime,' he replied. 'But looka there.'
"I followed the wave of the empty pistol he still held in his hand, and there stretched across the opposite parapet were six dead Germans, one for every shot in his gun. They had got him only when the gun had emptied. I stopped the bleeding as best I could and we got him back to an ambulance. But he died four hours later. I guess his life was well paid for.
"It was this same sharp raid of the Germans that produced one of the coolest bits of desperate courage I ever saw. One of our boys had been captured by three Germans and he was being led off as they retreated, one on either side of him and one behind. Suddenly one of our shells lit within a few yards of the party. The three Germans ducked. I thought at first our boy had. But, no, he had reached into his hip pocket. He dropped a hand grenade directly at his own feet and those of his captors—and the three Germans were killed. "I got there quickly afterward to where he lay. He smiled up at me. Yes, he smiled, though his arm and half his side had been blown off. "'God! boy!, I said, horrified, 'why did you do that?'
"Saw me get 'em, did you, Doc?' he answered.
"Yes, but—" I didn't know what to say as I tried to dress that frightful wound.
Gave Life to Get Three.
"Weli, doctor," he said gravely, I'd been to communion this morning and I guess I was ready to die. But I wasn't ready to go to Germany. They searched me for grenades when they got me, the three of them, and they took those out of my bag and out of my side pocket. But I always carry one tucked into my pants when I go out here, just in case of—well, anything like this. And when those three Germans ducked it came through my mind a lot quicker than I can tell it that three dead Germans and one dead American was a lot more on our side of the score than three live Ger
mans and an American as good as dead in Berlin. So I let her go.' "He tried to raise his head and look around." "Never mind, boy, you got them all," I assured him. "Any—any chance for me, doc?" he said. "I didn't answer and he knew. His remaining hand crept beneath his blood-soaked tunic, gripped something tight and stayed there. After a moment he spoke again. "Doc," he said, "you know all the boys around our square. I wish they could know I was game. "And, doc," his voice was weaker, 'will you—will you tell my mother I had—I had this when—I went.' "Slowly his hand came out; slowly it opened; that boy's hand strangely old and worn with the bloodstains and grime. Slowly it opened and there in the blackened palm glistened a tiny, bright silver crucifix. He was dead."
Won't Stop Fighting.
It's Chaplain Hanley who tells the story of the Sixty-ninth. They refer to the chaplain as holding the clerical record for mileage in No Man's land. They can't keep him off patrols. Chaplain Hanley knows the story of most of the casualties of the Sixty-ninth. He substantiates the statement that not a man has been killed or wounded by a German bayonet, notwithstanding the regiment has encountered in pitched and open battle three of the five divisions of the Prussian Guard at one time and another of its career. Needless to say, the Prussian Guard division can make no soo buster. Father Hanley says the hardest time they have with casualties in the Sixty-ninth is to make them stop fighting when they're hit. He is himself just recovering from a wounded leg.
"The officers are as bad as the men," he declares. "The day I got this wound I was working up with Captain Hurley's company. They'd been driven back a little by a vicious German barrage and they were on a little ridge. They'd got orders to hold it, and they did, for four days. When they left it they went ahead.
"Well, I was up there this day and I heard of a wounded man ahead and a little to one side, just over the edge of the hill toward the German lines. I told the captain I'd better go to him and he wanted to detail a couple of men to help me. I declined and started off by myself, crawling on my stomach underneath a stream of machine-gun bullets that would have elipped me had I raised on my elbow.
"I'd gone perhaps 50 yards when I heard a rustle in the grass behind me, and there were two of Hurley's boys. They said the captain had sent them to carry me back if anything happened. Now listen to the rest of it. I sent them chasing back to their company and crawled ahead. Just as I got to this ridge the bullet got me. My wounded man was across an open space and I knew I couldn't get to him. I was afraid if I waited till dark I bleed to death, so I put a tourniquet on my leg and started back.
Forgot About Wound
"Now all of this is just preliminary. They got me back to a hospital a day inter and I'd hardly got settled in my cot when who should they put down in the cot next to me but Captain Hurley himself. He was badly smashed up in the leg, too. The leg had been dressed at the dressing station and when they got him settled they started to take off his clothes. As they pulled at his shirt he let out a howl.
"The shirt was stuck to his chest with blood. He had a wound there that the doctors at the dressing station had never discovered.
"Why, captain,' said the doctor, looking puzzled at the casualty tag, it doesn't say anything about the chest. When did you get this one?
"What day is this?' asked the captain.
"Wednesday,' said a nurse.
"Now, let's see," said the captain. Chaplain, you*were up there yesterday. I must have got this on Monday.
"All the time he'd been sending men out to take care of me he'd had that hole in his own chest and the shirt frozen over his big heart with his own blood.
"You're a captain," I said to him. You're always cautioning the boys to report wounds and get them cared for. You stayed up there two days and you never even told me about it.
"Honest, chaplain," he replied, I forgot all about it. You know we had orders to hang onto that dinky hill, And we were awful busy."

"Our soldiers think the only real queen on earth is the American girl," declares Miss Theresa A. Smith, who has just returned from a tour of singing to the soldiers in camp for the X. M. C. A.
Miss Smith's home is in Brooklyn, and she is known among the concertgoers as "The Danish Nightingale," and she has sung her way into the hearts of the boys in the camps.
CUBA HELPING US IN WAR
Sends Sugar, Tobacco, Ships and Money, to Assist in Fighting Hum.
Washington—Cuba's latest war offering took the shape of a consignment of 240,000 cigarettes and 3,500 packages of smoking tobacco for distribution to the American soldiers in France. In transmitting the gift, the Cuban minister explained that it was sent by the Cuban people in recognition of the work of the American army and as a token of the sincere friendship between Cuba and the United States.
This is not the most important contribution Cuba has made. While larger nations of this hemisphere have been doing their best to defeat the Prussian dream of world conquest, Cuba has not been idle. Her declaration of war came on the same day as our own. Since then, Cuba has furnished us sugar and has sent us ships. She has made outright presents of money and has established an active Cuban Red Cross organization headed by Senora de Menocal, wife of the president of the republic. She has passed a selective service law and has issued $80,000,000 worth of government bonds. American officers have been invited to the island to train her troops. There has been constant co-operation between Cuba and the food authorities of the United States. Everything within her power to do, Cuba has done.
INCREASE IN POTATO YIELD
Average in This Country Has Risen From 71 to 97 Bushels Since 1894.
Washington—The yield of potatoes per acre is gradually increasing, the records of the bureau of crop estimates show. During 1866-1874 the average was 91 bushels, but it declined to 71.3 bushels in 1875-1894. Perceptible recovery was made in the following ten-year period and a much larger recovery, rising to a new high-water mark, was reached in 1905-1914, with its average yield of 97 bushels per acre.
This increase is due to various causes, among which are greater specialization of production, more intensive treatment and higher fertility of the soil. The ten-year average yield of 97 bushels per acre in 1905-1914 was followed by 96.3 bushels in 1915, 80.5 bushels in the very low year of 1916, and 100.8 bushels in 1917.
Compared with population the yield of potatoes per acre declined from 1866-1874 to 1905-1914. The gain of production per capita in recent years has been more because of increased acreage than because of increased production per acre.
"NICE MEAL" IN GERMANY
Consists of Mush and Sour Milk,
Writes American Girl from
Leipsig.
Minneapolis.—Cornmeal and sour
milk make "a nice meal" in Germany
now, a Minneapolis girl says in a letter from Leipsig to her mother here.
The writer is Miss Mabel Jacobs and her mother is Mrs. A. O. Jacobs, 1015 Fourteenth avenue, Southwest. When the United States entered the war Miss Jacobs was studying music in Leipsig. She was not permitted to leave Germany. The letter just received is the first direct word from her daughter that the mother has had in 18 months.
Miss Jacobs states she has not heard from home since the war began. "I am almost out of clothing," the letter reads, "but am well and as happy as could be expected."

INTERNED GERMANS WATCHED
Close Attention Paid to Their Conversation in Order to Detect Plots.
Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. C.—There is someone at all times among the soldiers guarding German prisoners here who can understand German, paying strict attention to their conversations, to detect any plots that might be hatched to escape, and secure other information.
But it would seem that such precautions are hardly necessary. The prisoners have repeatedly expressed themselves as being very well content to remain here until the end of the war. They realize that it would be foolish for them to try to escape, as few of them speak English and they could not get very far before being detected. They have been heard to express the hope that they will never be exchanged for American prisoners in Germany.
The prisoners are willing workers, and they do a great deal of work about camp. They are given humane treatment, get plenty to eat and the same medical attention as is given to soldiers, but they are not by any means treated as guests of the nation, as has been done at some other prison camps, according to stories which have been printed in the newspapers. The German prisoners here more than earn their keep.
YANK ESCAPES FROM HUNS
Pittsburgh Boy Strikes Guard With Stick and Flees to the American Lines.
With the American Forces in France.-Private Edward F. Baker of Pittsburgh, Pa., is one of the few Americans who claim to have been a prisoner in Germany and then escaped back to the line of his comrades. Here is an outline of the story told by Baker. Early one morning there had been street fighting in Fismes and several Germans got the drop on Baker and marched him back to their lines. Before noon the Germans had Baker working in the trenches, and they kept him digging most of the afternoon without suggesting that he might want something to eat. Late in the afternoon the Americans started an attack.
When the German guarding Baker turned his head to look in the direction of the whiz of an American shell Baker seized a stick of wood and struck the guard a blow on the head and then ran into a wood toward the Americans. Several Germans fired at him as he disappeared in the brush. Baker reached his companions that right just 18 hours after he had been taken prisoner, and he had had nothing to eat all day.
FRENCH USE YANK LAUNCHES
Vessels Crossed Ocean Under Their Own Steam With Negligible Losses.
A French Port.—France in her work of safeguarding the coast from mines and submarines is using a large number of motor launches of the standardized American type, which came over under their own steam with a loss of only one out of fifty.
One of the most successful boats used for the work is the cannonette, which, working with Diesel engines, can steam 3,000 miles at ten knots an hour without refueling. The craft carries guns big enough to deal with any submarine, and its low draught enables it to travel over mine fields.
For mine-sweeping the French use an economical form of trawl, with ingenious underwater appliances for keeping the sweep at the required depth.

YANKS DIE WITH FACES TO ENEMY
Valiant Spirit of Fallen Men Is Typified in Attitudes of the Dead.
Ever Crouching Forward With Their Faces Toward Germany, Impatient to Make World Safe for Humanity.
Paris—Chaplains of two Yankee regiments that stormed the slope above the Oureq river came wearily back at sundown from the task of burying their dead. They were two men spiritually uplifted, and their eyes were shining as they made their brief but eloquent report.
"In all that battlefield," they said, "we found, without a single exception, that every one of those boys died crouching forward."
That short dramatic story—a patriotic eulogy that was an epitaph for American heroes—came first under my eye when, after a three weeks' journey of 4,000 miles, I reached Paris.
Faces Ever Eastward.
Stories of the vallant American spirit are old. Yet the proud words of the chaplains were tremendously impressive. They interpreted the spirit of America on the fighting line in the same terms as I had seen it among the fresh troops in the convoy across the Atlantic, in England, in the French port and in the trip across France—troops yet to face the Hun.
Thousands were in that convoy. And their faces were ever toward Germany. They were grim faces of serious-minded, silent men during the tedious ocean trip—silent, strangely, until actually on French soil.
Then they underwent a change. The curtain of solemnity seemed to lift. The frown of impatience at delay was gone and, in contrast to the silence in which they had received the homage of British crowds, they sang rollicking war songs, laughed and cracked jokes and replied with a Yankee roar to the chorus of welcome French crowds gave them.
Their faces were away from the setting sun as they waited in the French port for the trains to take them to France. Their eyes gazed longingly to the east, and they eagerly strained forward as if to hear the far-boom of the guns.
Every one of these Yankee soldiers, fresh from the homeland, was crouching forward—as did the heroes the chaplains told of—with their faces toward Germany.
A complete division, commanded by an American major general, disembarked. And it was just one unit, one convoy of the unending stream that Uncle Sam is sending across
Chafe at Long Wait
The only worry was whether it would be a long wait before it was their turn "at bat" against the Hun. Submarine rumors hadn't frightened them on the way across the ocean. They had drilled daily, as best they could in the cramped ship's area. They had taken daily exercise to keep them healthful and fit. And they had stood guard, in turn, with eyes "peeled" for submarines—mostly hopeful that one would turn up just for the delight of seeing an American destroyer bomb it out of all usefulness.
There was a boat drill daily on the convoy; each man answered roll call in his allotted place beside a lifeboat. And constantly, save in sleep, each man had to wear a life preserver strapped about his chest and back. Now they're at the end of the long journey—in France along with a million and a half fighting men from the United States. They're showing early that great American spirit—crouching forward, with their faces toward Germany, impatient to make the world unsafe for Huns.
It's a pity Kalser Bill couldn't have stood on the dock at that French port when they landed—just to see them.
WOUNDED MAN CRAWLS FAR
Sergeant With Five Bullets in Body Travels Mile and Half to Dressing Station.
Somerset, Pa.—"Sergeant Wedge and myself were advancing through a wheat field and machine-gun bullets were flying around like hall," writes Sergeant Irwin B. Spangler to his mother, telling of a battle on the western front. "To cheer the boys we kept talking and laughing. In a few minutes Wedge goes down with five bullets through his body, two through his left leg, one in the right, one through the lung and one in the arm. He crawled in a shell hole and stayed there all night. The next day he crawled one and a half miles to a dressing station. I went there an hour later and found him smoking a cigarette. I have a little scar on my face and am proud of it."
Dead Men Convicted
St. Louis, Mo.—When a decision reached the court of criminal correction here recently from the supreme court affirming the conviction of Israel Schucart, for adulterating soda water in violation of the pure food law, it was found that both Schucart and his bondsmen were dead. Schucart died a year ago, while his bondsman passed away five months ago.

BARROOM NOW USED BY Y. M. C.A.
French Town's Most Popular Drink Emporium Is Bought at Auction.
SODA INSTEAD OF ABSINTHE
American Girl in Sky Blue Uniform Attends to the Wants of the Thirsty Soldiers and Sall-
By ROY DURSTINE.
Paris.—In the very heart of a French port town, where traffic is thickest, there stood a barroom. It was just at the point where a sailor's or soldier's thirst was greatest as he trudged up the hill. It did a rattling good business, such a good business that the authorities kept a special eye on it.
Whenever a military policeman had nothing better to do, he would stroll up to this bar to see how many men were draped over it.
Accordingly, its trade languished. for there are more desirable things to do than to be a consistent drinker in the most conspicuous place in town.
Before long the madame found that her business had fallen on evil ways. Her success had been so great that it it had failed!
Bids for Y. M. C. A.
A public sale was announced—a sale of all the, oh, so beautiful fixtures. Without thought of price, everything would go beneath the hammer of the auctioneer. Everyone in town knew of it. And when you say "everyone," you include Arthur S. Taylor, who used to be a newspaper man in Philadelphia, and who is now the head of the Y. M. C. A. in the district of the port town.
So he went to the sale. And when the bidding fell off, and the madame wrung her hands because the price was so low, then up stepped Mr. Taylor, and bought all the fixtures for the Y. M. C. A.
After that he dickered with the landlord, and came to an agreement which permitted him to leave the fixtures where they were, to leave the bar where it was—but to change what passed across the bar.
That was only a little while ago. But today, as you mount the hill of the town, as you see the doors of the bar stretching out their invitation to bring in your thirst and have it quenched, you will see a strange thing. Over the door you will see in large letters the words:
The Red Triangle.
Inside, behind the bar, you will see an American girl in the sky blue uniform of the canteen worker. And you will see sailors and soldiers leaning their elbows on the shining mahogany and hear them say things like:
"Give us a chocolate milk-shake."
"Make mine pineapple."
"How's the Y. M. special today?"
"Package of cookies and two strawberry sodas."
Think of it! Sodas, in France! And yet this is only one of three places in that one port town where the Y. M. C. A has a soda fountain.
Beside the bar sits another American girl selling soda checks and, in the lulls, changing the record on the phonograph. Nothing old about those records, either. With New York just "e few days away," the supply of tunes is kept up to the minute.
In the back room there are small tables and chairs. Those who prefer to rest as they drink may do so. And many do.
"You see, I figured it out this way," said Mr. Taylor, gas he looked over the blue-and-olive-drab shoulders packed along the bar, "I figured it out that half the attraction of a bar is the sociability of drinking slowly and gossip while you do it. And, you see, it is!"
Cleveland.—Not irreverently, but with much feeling, Dr. W. H. Crawford, president of Allegheny college, brought "Amens" from the throats of 2,000 Methodist divines in this city when he prayed fervently for "God to damn the German empire." He had just returned from a year and a half service with the Y. M. C. A. on the western front.
Kansas City Musical Club Puts Ban on Teutonic Composers, Living or Dead.
Kansas City, Mo.—No more music written by living or dead German composers will be performed by members of the Kansas City Musical club for the duration of the war, it was announced. This ban against another "made-in-Germany" product was decreed by this city's oldest and largest musical organization. The action was a resolution adopted in a general meeting of the club and drew objections from a number of the members who had stifled music in Germany, but these we withdrawn as the sentiment favoring it became more pronounced.

MARBLE INDEX OF A MIND,
The statue of General Kirby Smith,
of Florida, who fought against. the
Union in the Civil War, now graces
Statuary Hall in Washington. It has
been placed just in front of General
John Stark, of New Hampshire, the
Revolutionary hero of Bennington,
who fought for the establishment of
the nation which Smith and his
brothersinarms sought to destroy.
Gazing at Smith across the hall, with
the front of Jove himself, is Daniel
Webster in cold marble. the gift of
‘Massachusetts to the Republic. Web-
ster’s words have seared themselves
into the memory of every true Ameri-
can, “Liberty and Union, now and
forever, one and inseparable.” Kirby
Smith finds company in Statuary
Hall, and ‘f the South continues in
control of Congress much longer it is
predicted that it the stone replica of
Jeff Davis is finally set up there he
will find a working majority among

PLAN FOR ORGANIZING COLORED AMERICANS TO SEEK WORLD
DEMOCRACY.
A Natlonal Colored Equal Rights Representative Congress at Washington to
Elect Race Petitioners to be Sent to Intercede for Full Democracy
for Colored Americans in the World Peace Adjustment.
Adopted at 11th Annual Meeting of National Equal Rights League in Chicago.
Sept. 19. 1918. and Offered to the Colored American People.
The time having come in the dispensation of Almighty God when by and
through a terrible world war of blood and devastation the doctrine of world
democracy has become the slogan and avowed policy of Allied Nations in
two hemispheres, and Colored Americans being still the victims of caste
discriminations of the most drastic kind with regard to civil and political
rights and even the right to life itself, an historic and imperative call has
come to Colored America to exhaust every peaceable means to bring to pass
the end of the undemocratic condition in which they alone, of all citizens, live
in the country which is the moral leader and military savior of the Allied
Nations. Hence the National Equal Rights League to carry out the vote of
this body to have the cause for the enjoyment of full democracy by Colored
Americans presented at the world peace negotiations and that such repre-
sentatives may be the chosen delegates of Colored America, shall call a Na-
tional Equal Rights Representative Congress at the National Capitol on or
after January Ist, 1918, to elect such peace petitioners for this, the only group
denied democracy in the U. 8. A.
Delegates to this Representative Congress shall be elected on the follow
ing basis: Every Colored community is hereby invited and authorized to send
delegates through the organization of Equal Rights Leagues. Every such
league already or hereafter organized shall be entitled to send one delegate
to this representative assembly and an additfonal delegate for each 50 mem-
bers over the first 60. Every local religious, labor, civic, fraternal organiza-
tion of the race may on request to the corresponding secretary of the league
become officially an affiliated member and send delegates to this assembly,
one for every 50 members.
Every national organization for the rights of Colored Americans shall
be entitled and invited to send two delegatesatlarge, each such delegate
to be entitled to one vote.
‘The executive officers of this league, the president, secretary, treasurer,
chairman of executive committee of the District of Columbia branch and the
National Executive Committee shall issue the call and make the arrange-
ments for this representative assembly.
‘The registration fee for delegates shall be one dollar. :
This representative assembly shall elect the race petitioners tor the
errand to the seat of the peace negotiations for full democracy for Colored
Americans.

GRASP THIS OPPORTUNITY.
‘The shortest road to a commission
in the army is through the student
army training corps in colleges and
universities.
Aside from this opportunity to se-
eure a commission’ membership in
this corps, practically guarantees a
place in the army, whether as com-
missioned or non-commissioned offi-
cer, mechanic, or infantryman, in
which a man can fender his largest
service to his country.
Men in Class 1 may enter provided
they have not been selected for draft
before induction into this corps, and
those who have registered under the
new draft may be accepted before
they are actually classified in the
draft,
Youths or older men should send
In applications at once to the school
of their choice and take course in ag-
riculture, chemistry, commerce, engi-
neering, journalism, law, letters, sci-
ence, pharmacy, or any other course
taught. This is a great opportunity.
The student, by voluntary induction,
becomes a soldier in the United
States army, uniformed, subject tc
military discipline and with the pay
of a private ($80 a month). They
will simultaneously be placed on full
active duty, and contracts will ibe
made as soon as possible with the
colleges for the housing, subsistence
and instruction of the student sol
diers,
Officers, uniforms, rifles and auch
other equipment as may be available
will be furnished by the War Depart
ment, as previously announced.
‘The etudent-soldiers will be given
military instruction under officers o!
the army and will be kept under ob
servation and test to determine theit
qualifications as officer candidates
and technical such as engineers
chemists and doctors. After a certain
period, the men will be selected ac
cording to their performance, and as
signed to military duty.
Students enrolled in the 8. A. T. C.
will not only be serving their country
in a manner suggested by the federal
government, but they will be in @ post-
tion_to improve their condition for
fiture war of peace work and. will
grow more and more efficient servants
of the nation’s cause with each month
of college training.
As any man who desires to join a
“Student Army Training Corps” may
select the university or college he pre-
fers we suggest that Minnesotans
have one of the best institutions in
this country right at their door in the
University of Minnesota, where al-
ready 3,200 applications for admission
have been made and it is estimated
that the enrollment will reach 4,000.
Get in before it is too late.

|, The general consensus of opinion is
that it would be a distinct loss to the
people of the state of Minnesota to
lose the services of Clifford L. Hilton
the present incumbent, as Attorney
General. He has mastered all the de
tails of this high office and is splen
idly equipped to give the highest
quality of professional service to the
safeguarding of public interests with
out fear or favor. He is in the prime
of life and his personal character is
beyond reproach. His fidelity to
American ideals is well known,
It is poor policy to “swap horses
while crossing the stream.” ‘The peo
ple of the state will make no mistake
in marking their ballots for the elec:
tion of this tried and trusted public
servant. He has never been unfaith
ful to the trust reposed in him, and
his diligence and ability have won him
the esteem of both friends and adver.
saries. For the voters to substitute
a man of no experience in the state's
legal department, for an officer, who
during the nine ‘years he served on
the Attorney General's staff, has ac-
quired an unusual familiarity and
grasp of the state's legal problems,
would, in common judgment, be a
calainity.

GOV. J. A. A. BURNQUIST.
THEODORE: ROOSEVELT:
Endorses Governor Burnquist and
Senator Nelson.
In his speech at Minneapolis, Mon-
day, Oct. 7, Theodore Roosevelt, in
endorsing Senator Knute Nelson ‘and
Governor Burnguist, said:
“I do not come to you to speak in
any ordinary acceptation of the terms
of political questions. The prime is:
sues are loyalty and disloyalty.
“I make my appeal for Senator Nel-
son and Governor Burnquist exclu.
sively on this ground:
“Senator Knute Nelson has rounded
out 30 years of public service to the
state of Minnesota. and in his entire
career, especially since he has been a
member of the Senate of the United
States, he has been one of the ablest
and most upright and most. uncom-
promisingly Americans of the public
servants of the entire nation.
“November 6th will probably be the
last time that the people of Minne-
sota will have a chance to show their
appreciation af Senator Nelson’s pub-
Me life and the best way of showing
this appreciation will be to give him
the largest vote ever received in this
state by any candidate for public of-
fice. Thereby the people of Minnesota
will honor themselves, will recognize
Senator Nelson's great services and
will put the people of the rest of the
‘United States under obligations to
them.
“Let every voter register and cast
his ballot if only tor this purpose,
“Governor Burnquist has been as
staunch a war governor as there has
been in the entire country. From the
moment the war was on he dropped
all other considerations except that
of loyalty and service to the nation
and he has stood for 100 per cent
American and 100 per cent prosecu-
tion of the war to the peace of over-
whelming victory.
| “The bitter: opposition to him has
been engineered with especially ma-
lignity by the men whose real objec-
tion to him was the fact that he was
absolutely loyal.
“Loyal Americans should stand be-
‘hind Governor Burnquist and they
‘should especially stand behind him be-
cause of the opposition of the Non-
Partisan League and I. W. W. to him.
“I am sure there are ‘many thou:
sands of men in the Non-Partisan
League and the I. W. W. who are
honest, who believe that they have
suffered wrong. who are loyal citizens,
but the present leadership of the two
organizations is such that no loyal
American should at this time support
either.”

We are very glad to commend to
the colored voters of Ramsey County
the re-election of Hon. Carl C. Van
Dyke, our present Congressman, The
record of Congressman Van Dyke has
been open to inspection, very carefully
investigated and it discloses the fact
that he has always strongly and con-
sistently opposed all form of legisla.
tion inimical to colored people. As
a member of the House Committee on
the District of Columbia he has co-
operated with other friends on the
Committee in defeating Segregation
measures for the Nation’s Capitol.
Established Precedent in Medical
Corps. U. S. A.
Upon the presentation of Dr. John
R. French, our dentist. for a com-
mission in’ the Medical Corps of the
Army, Congressman Van Dyke estab-
lished the precedent whereby over 300
colored doctors and dentists were com-
missioned in the Medical Corps of the
Army and most of them are now in
actual service, including Dr. French.
Postmaster Raths His Appointee.
Our present and most efficient Post-
master, Hon. Otto N. Raths, is the
personal appointee of Congressman
Van Dyke. Postmaster Raths has
demonstrated by deeds and not words
his fairness and true democracy in the
administration of his office. A vote
for Congressman Van Dyke means a
continuance of our present postmaster.
Hon. Otto N. Raths. for at least an-
other four years.
We must vote for men and measures
and not the label of a political party.

coming election, is well and favorable
known as a public official, having
served the public in the capacity of

Although difficult to satisfy both
parties to litigation he made an ex.

STATE SENATOR
38th District
SENATOR HANDLAN.
The Representative of All the People
All the Time.
castor JAMES HANDLAN.
All the Time.
Just before the primaries last June
I felt that I would be doing a good
man a service by publicly endorsing
Senator James Handlan. Since that
time I have had no reason to change
my opinion, I therefore repeat what I
sald then, as follows:
Senator James Handlan is a candi.
date to succeed himself as a member
of the State Senate from the 38th
Senatorial District on the record he
has made in the service of his con-
stituents. The fact that he filled two
terms as a Representative in the State
Legislature and two terms in. the
Senate is evidence that he must have
given good service. It has been his
aim to represent the best interests of
all classes in his district. without re-
gard to color or creed, and he has evi-
denced hfs loyalty for several months
by giving tree a large portion of his
time to the military draft board. He
has always labored in the interest of
the common people and supported the
measures in the legislature that he be-
Meved to be for their benefit, and his
truest friends are found in the ranks
of the laboring men of all national.
ties. And as the old adage says: “It's
not the time to swap horses when
crossing a stream.” So the voters of
the district will show sound judgment
in voting to retain him just where he
is,

ATTORNEY L. LOUIS ERVIN
Urges Re-election of Present Judges of District and Probate Court.
On the 5th of November, 1918, the citizens of Ramsey county are called upon to elect-four judges of the District Court, and a judge of the Probate Court of Ramsey county.
Perhaps there are no offices in the gift of the people of the county of greater importance than these.
Four judges of the District Court, Hon. Hascal R. Br.rill; Hon. William Louis Kelly; Hon. Fred N. Dickson, and Hon. Charles C. Haupt, are candidates for re-election, while Hon. E. W. Bazille, our present judge of the Probate Court is also a candidate for re-election.
If you ever need a friend, it is when you are in trouble or your business interests are at stake.
The best place to have a friend is in the court room, and especially when that friend is the judge, you are sure to get justice.
I have practiced law before these honorable gentlemen for the past six years. I have always found them to be friends of all people who come before them, regardless of race, color or creed, and feel highly honored to have the opportunity to vote for them.
The experience of these gentlemen should not be overlooked, for experience counts.
Hon. Hascar R. Brill is our oldest judge in length of service on the bench. He should be given a majority large enough to convince him that
FOR RENT.
we appreciate his fairness.
Hon. William Louis Kelly has caused enough reestablishments of broken homes, since he has been upon the bench, to merit his re-election for life.
Hon. Fred N. Dickson could not be unfair if he tried, and surely, the bench would not be complete without him.
Hon. Charles C. Haupt, the latest addition to the bench has been judge just long enough to show us that we can not get along without him, and he must be re-elected.
Hon. E. W. Bazille has been judge of the Probate Court so that the memory of man runeth not to the contrary and he should be re-elected for life.
The only way to keep gentlemen of this caliber in office, and to show our appreciation of their fair dealings, is not only to vote for them at the coming election, but to see that our friends vote for them as well.
