If the assertions of Rev. M. Ludwig
of the Cape York, Greenland, mission
can be believed and there appears to
be no reason to doubt them-Peary is
an inhuman brute. In lecture at
Copenhagen the reverend gentleman
made a violent attack upon the Arctic
explorer, charging that he always
cheated the Eskimos and that upon
one occasion he left a number of Eski-
mo women and children upon the ice
without food, and with certain death
before them, because they obstructed
the advance Of his expedition. Eski.
mos during recent years have made
hundreds of complaints il. Danish
Greenland colonies regarding Peary's
illtreatment of them, he said, and
many prominent explorers are ready
to corroborate his statements.

According to the Pioneer Press Of
the 9th inst. Gov. Eberhart hasssRone
on record, at the annual banqnst Of
the ST. Paul Real Estate Exchanpe,
as favoring the Immediate acquisition
by the state of five more blocks be.
tween the old and the new capitols
and Wabasha and Cedar streets,
which would call for an expenditure
of at least q couple of million dollars;
and the governor also favors the erec.
tion of a million dollar addition to
the new state capitol. If an addition
to the new $4,000, 900 capitol is neces-
sary for the proper conduct of state
business undoubtedly the legislature
will provide for the same, but not be-
fore, we hope, an amendment to the
state constitution has been submitted
and adopted that will provide for a
general state road tax of one mill on
the dollar for the construction and
Improvement of public highways.
Gov. Eberhart, however, made no
reference to the absolute necessity of
better public highways in his happy
after dinner speech

News comes from Duluth that
farmers in the Bear river district
have twenty thousand bushels of po-
tatoes and large quantities of other
farm produce which they are unable
to market because there are no roads
over which they can haul loads. This
absence of passab1e roads is big
handicap to the farmers of northern
Minnesota and is the prime reason
why that part of the country is not
more readily settled. Build good
roads and there will be no difficulty
in settling up the lands, which are rich
and fertile. But roads must be built
first.

commence early next spring. This is

to the country naturally tributary
thereto and will silence the croakers

steel corporation had no intention OF
erecting a large plant at the head o1

Indian Commissioner Valentine pro-
poses to put the medicine men of the
various tribes throughout the country
on a salary upon condition that they
assist the regular agency physicians
in their crusade against tuberculosis.
The medicine men would not be called
upon, of course, to prescribe for the
consumptives, but simply transmit the
directions of the reservation doctors,
whose prescriptions are usually dis
credited and not used. Whether this
scheme will prove advantageous is a
question.

Claes Emil Tholin, official delegate
from the national committee of the
Swedish strikers, has reached the twin
cities. Mr.. Tholin's mission is to ex-
plain the strike situation, which, he
says, has been greatly misrepresented,
and to solicit assistance. 'sIn the
first place, " declares he, "the move
ment is neither political nor socialis-
tic, as certain persons have sought to
make the people of the United States
believe. The workers of Sweden are
fighting to retain their right to a
voice in fixing the hours of labor,
wages and other conditions. These
questions the organization of en-
ployers insists upon deciding for them
selves without conference with the en-
ployes. 1t is a struggle for very
existence with the labor organizations
and what the outcome will be no one
can say. The strike, although of such
great extent, has been devoid of dis
turbance of any kind.' It is a pity
that some means are not devised for
settling this strike, and it seems to us
a case where the Swedish govern
ment would be justified in stepping in
and demanding that the matter be sub.
mitted to arbitration.

Tears Come Easier Than Dollars.

The committee in charge of the
Gov. johnson memorial fund has
fixed the limit to be raised at 1926,
600, of which only about $4,000 has
been received. This would seem to
indicate that tears are easier shed
than dollars; because if the actual
heart-breaking grief that was felt over
the governors death, could have been
coined into dollars and cents, the
memorial fund would already have
mounted to millions. Red Wing Free
