The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-10-11

Assassination or intimidation of
citizens by the destruction of prop
erty are things the American people
will never tolerate, as witness the
wave Of indignation that has rolled
across thif country following the
blowing up of great newspaper
building at Los Angeles last week,
on account of utterances in the
Times against the abuses of organ
lied trade unions. The rank and
file of American manhood will not
stand for monopolistic combinations
in the skilled industries any more
than it will always endure monop-
olies of manufacturers or of capital
lists. And in no part of the country
is there likely to be countenanced
any effort to terrorize the free utter
ance of opinion in the public press.
A muzzled and censored press means
a degraded citizenship.

DR.. David Livingstone, the great

clear outline of this grand hero's
life. Born in Scotland, of parents
poor in this worlds goods, but rich
in piety and faith, David when only

m. until D. M, with intervals for
meals. And yet he found time to
educate himself. At the age Of 10
years he was promoted and earned
enough in the summer so that he
could go to college in winter. Even
then he walked from home daily, a
distance of nine miles, and kept up
with his classes.
Mr.. White said nothing was too
hard for him, and all went to the
making up Of just the kind of a man
that God required to do that great
work IN Africa. He overcame the

much to suppress the slave trade.

him in Westminster Abbey.

Elsewhere in this paper will be
found the address of Governor Eber-
hart at his home town of Mankato
last week. The governor defines his
position politically as he has done
before, that if a county option bill
is passed while he is governor he
will approve of it, and adds that his
opponent cannot do more although
he may promise more. Without
presuming to criticise the governor.

licans would like to know just what
Mr.. Eberhart thinks of the saloon in
politics and whether he believes
there is anything in what his oppo-
nent said at Alexandria, that the
brewers have taken possession of the
saloons and that they are also trying
to control the legislature.

Blue Earth county appears to be
suffering from murder mania on the
part Of some of its citizens. As re-
counted in the Free Press. first came
the James Yorke tragedy. where a
suicide murdered his four children
and killed himself. Then H. J. Led

month or two ago Joseph Wheeler.

ONLY ONE "BEST"
Redwood Falls People Give Credit
Where Credit is Due.

People of Redwood Falls who suf-

The Situation in a Nutshell.


Isn't it awful, the way that Can
by editor. JAG Brynhildsen Of the
News, knocks one of the leading
business interests of his town. But
really, there seems to be something
in what he has to say. when you
stop to think it oyer: Nothing has
contributed more to nauseate the
people against the saloon than the
saloonkeepers themselves by their
constant activity in politics and tire
less endeavor to capture and de-
bauch the electorate by any means
and at any cost. That is the whole
secret in nutshell and that is just
the temperance people want them to
| do. Their open defiance and boast
ing that they can elect this or that
candidate for the legislature, as they
have done in Candy and other places
the past few weeks, only adds fuel
to the fire and they are getting just
what is coming to them by increas-
ing quantities at every opening of
the ballot box. In the past. people
have been lukewarm on the propo-
sition, and cared very little about
the saloon question, because it
seemed to be fairly we'll handled
and regulated by law, but when it
began to defy the law and entered
the arena Of politics, people began
to insurge in open revolt. People
of this state have INDUCED in seeing
the capture of sessions of the legis-
lature by the breweries and other
corporate interests almost with COM
placency and without protest. in the
hope that new members might be
chosen for the next session only to
find that the interests were there
again with both feet and a good
working majority in one or both
branches. Prediction pledges have
been repeatedly broken and thrown
to the winds by the ward heelers of
the big cities and no member has
said a word about it until the last
session when Representative John
son accused eighteen Of his fellow
members openly on the floor of the
house that they had wantnlyo ig-
nored their written promises to an
outraged constituency. AS long as
their work was confined to the inner
chambers, the saloon in politics was
certainly big success and none will
blame them for hating to let go of
the many good things which came
their way in the past, but their
strenuous efforts to capture the
electorate and dominate rural and
urban politics and society generally
is bound to meet general condem-
nation and the public scorn of every
true and patriotic citizen whether
he is an abstainer or not in this age
of general enlightenment and adj
vanced education. Ifitdoes not, then
education is of no value and the
schools may as we'll be closed.

The wounding of the son and
daughter of John Dietz last week by
armed deputies who were attempt
ing to arrest their father for a MUIR
derous assault on neighbor named
Horel, provoked a storm Of condem-
nation, which was to some extent
justified. At the same time, the re-
sponsibility for the shooting should
not rest solely on the inefficient Of
ficers of the law. It will have to be
conceded that the Dietz family has
no justification for their attitude in
arming every able member of the
household for the avowed purpose
Of resisting the duly constituted Of
fcers of the law, and primarily. it
looks as though the foolish or crazy
old father is at the bottom of the
trouble and therefore bears the
main responsibility for the shooting
Of his own children. The public
should also put the stamp of its dis
approval upon the way the daily
press has been stirring up and in
flaming public feeling and the spirit
of anarchy by unfolding and in a
manner encouraging the man Dietz
in his lawlessness. It certainly is
not creditable that the maudlin SYM
pathy of the public should go SO far
as to countenance the sending Of an
armed rescue party to assist the
Dietz family in resisting the ordin-
airy course Of the law. The logical
outcome of this encouragement of
guerrilla independence is anarchy.
John Dietz is as much amenable to
the law as any other citizen, and the
efforts to make of him a hero is in
defensible.

The young king of Portugal lost

Europe are becoming either repub-

the old forms. The change in Por-

Republican County Ticket.

Some funny things are happening
in both parties these days as the out
come of the county option crusade.
In Nebraska Bryan has bolted the
Democratic nominee for governor
on account of his attitude against
county option. and in Minnesota
John Lind and candidate Gray have
kicked over the platform construct
ed at the Democratic state conven-
ton and the consequence is sure to
be that in many communities Mr..
Gray will get only fraction of the
Democratic vote, if we may trust
the intimations Of members of that
party. For instance, New Ulm
paper declares that the Bourbon
Democrats of Brown county are not
much in love with Gray's platform
and there seems to be an undercur-
rent that he will not receive the
party vote. However. this, condi,
ton does not entitle the Democratic
candidate to any particular sym
patty, as he counts on getting .
larger detection from the county op.
ton Republicans than he will lose
from the secessions from his owf
party. The joke of all, is Frank

LABOR LAWS OF TWO YEARS
Federal Bureau Reviews Legislation

GRADUALLY RISING
SIX New State COmmisafOnu Created

WASHINGTON, March 2a-Bulletin No.
S. OF the United States Bureau Of Labor Is
devoted to a presentation of the labor legis-
Iation of the country during the, last two
years. Prior legislation OF thisssort is col
lected in the twenty-second annual report
Of the commissioner Of labor, this bulletin
being, in effect. q supplement to that report.
Besides a reproduction Of the laws, the
bulletin presents a review of the principal
features OF the statutes of 1903 and 1909.
The tendency OF labor legislation to con
form 10 a standard, which is being raised
from year 70 year and a consequent in
creasing uniformity in the provisions OF
such legislation are clearly in Evidence
State Commissions at work.
Six state commissions TO study specific
conditions and draft laws or suggest
amendments TO existing laws in accordance
with the findings Of the investigations were
appointed in the last two years. Commits

ployers for injuries to their employees and

appointed in Minnesota and New York.
while Wisconsin had a similar body at
work under an earlier appointment The
not at all provided for in the laws creating
them, has been a practical economy in the
matter Of conducting Investigations, as well
as affording grounds for belief that the
results will be the recommendation Of fairly
uniform laws on this important and press
ing subject. The New York commission
was directed to consider also the subject

Aids went to his home in Norwich tonight
a private citizen. branded as a bribetaker
by his former colleagues IN the senate and
by his own act no longer a member OF
tnN body. Senator Conger. who filed the
charges against Aids, stayed here tonight.
The battei that confronts Conger ls no
longer to prove his charges. To this extent
the senate indicated him today when
forty Of It's forty-nine members voted that
the charges had been sustained by the
evidence brought before thin
1t is believed that Conger came TO the
senate today prepared to resign as soon
as he received this vindication- However,
he did not resign and developments make
It likely that he viii not do SO. The cause
OF this is resolution introduced by Sen
ator Cobb, the majority leader. providing
for the appointment OF committee TO pre-
sent TO the senate charges against Conger,
growing cut OF his connection with legis-
lation and the use of funds to influence
the members OF the legislature or other
persons with reference thereto"
Even conser's enemies admit that he is
a fighter and the belief is that he will
oppose this attempt TO deprive him of
office a vigorously and with as free an
expenditure OF money as he attacked
Aids.
The Cobb resolution was referred TO the
judiciary committee II is expected that
the coIrnittee win report it promptly 70
the senate. There seems no doubt that
the present legislature will conduct
general graft" Investigation.
Ands' resignation absolutely closes his
case. All the senate could have done after
sustaining the charges against him would
have been to put him out and such pun
ishment his own act forestalls. Although
bribery IS q crime under the statutes, the
allegations against Aids concerned some
thing that occurred ten years ago. and the
statute Of limitations would prevent any
criminal prosecution had anyone felt in
clined TO bring such proceedings.
The senale ~ = vote Of 40 n . sustained
the charge that Senator Aids had de-
manded ard taken a bribe. II was unable
TO punish Aids. however, for this morn
ing before the vote began he resigned his
positioa IN the senate.
-AllIs was not ia the senate chamber to-
day. but senator Conger sat all through
the pcoccedings with his wife al his side.
When the nnul vote was announced he
turned 20 his wife and smiled.
A statement given out by Aids counsel
declared Aids resigned on the advice of
his attorneys because the latter were satis-
fled that his case was not to be decided
on the vote. but by political expedency and
Influence brought to bear from washing
ton and elsewhere"
Governor Hughes may now call a special
election for the immediate selection Of
