THE EDITOR "PINCHED"
An Extraordinary" Session of the City
Council was Called and the Marshal
Ordered to Arrest US.

Last Saturday morning, Fred Shaw,
an employe of the World office with
instructions not to allow any papers
to be placed outside where the wind
might blow them away, accidentally
allowed large piece to be drawn out
of the back door by strong sue
tion of the wind. In front of the
drug store Marshal Milholland pick
ed up the paper and brought it to the
World office and asked if it belonged
to US. We acknowledged that it did
and explained its escape. The mar
shall then left and we supposed the
episode had closed, not dreaming that
we had committed so grave an Of
fense. After having consulted Police
Judge w. f. Swiggett, Mayor Myer-
ly, CouncilmeA Kline, Gorrell and
Herrick, the Marshal returned and
said that the aforesaid city officials
had ordered our arrest and that the
Police Judge suggested very strongly
that we be made public example of,
accordingly we were fined one dollar
and COSTS In as much as it was our
first offense of this nature and in as
much as there is no city ordinance
covering the little offense which took
such large proportions and also that
other ordinances which are much
more important and are violated al
most daily, we have arrived at the
conclusion since we did not support
the new council during the recent
city election, they took this small
petty method of showing their malice
toward us. They have belittled
themselves as men and officials in
this transaction and we would vast
ly rather occupy. our position than
theirs. Henceforth we feel the coun-
eli will have plenty to do if they are
as vigilant with the people they like
who violate even in an accidental
manner some small ordinance as they
have been in our case where it was
personal spite, pure and simple.
Touching our good citizenship and
law abiding qualities, we do not have
to say word. Conncilmen Baker
and Spencer we fully vindica as
they had nothing whatever to do with
the matter and we believe them to
be men of much too large a caliber
to stoop to such pettiness as was
shown toward us in this incident.

Obituary

On Friday, May 5th, Mrs. E. L.
Morgan died at her home after many
months of illness. She has long been
resident of Trego county having
come here when she was little girl.
Mrs Morgan was a kind neighbof,
loving wife and daughter and by
her gentle disposition made many
warm friends who greatly miss her
and most sincerely mourn her death.
Mrs. Morgan was called away early
in life but God was able to see that
her life'S mission was filed and called
her to better land. Her death is
particularly sad owing to the fact
that she leaves five children, some of
them still very young. Besides the
children she leaves a husband, moth
er, two sisters and two brothers to
mourn her loss.
Cn Sunday the funeral was held at
the NJ. E. church, Rev. Greene offici-
ating The Eastern Star of which
Mrs. Morgan was member, also as
sisted in the services. The floral tri-
butes were many and very beautiful
attesting the esteem in which she
was held.
The World with the entire commu-
nifty extends sympathy to the family
thus sadly bereaved.

Filled with excitement. she called
her husband and showed him what
she had done. Rushing to the barn
he got a large though shallow, tin
pan and emptying the contents of
the oil can into it, dragged it around
the yard until he got it full of chop
perS;" then taking it to the-middle
of the road, tried to set fire to them,
but strange to say, they would not
burn, and afterwards though we
tried repeatedly to set fire to these
oil soaked ''hoppers'' never could we
burn one. But we had learned some
thing, and quickly hitching up a
team, he drove to town and soon got
the people interested in his story.
Understand at THIS time all was ex
citement, every one was interested
in any plan to exterminate the chop
per- A rush was made for the tin
shops, shallow pans quickly made,
the stores raided for kerosene, and
every one as fast as made, quickly
pressed into service.
But soon the fraiI tin was found to
be inadequate for the rough usage
d
held, with the result of some one
suggesting making the pans out of
iron even if it took a couple of men
to draw them, you did not draw a
pan far until you got it full of '.hop-
pers'' and had to stop to empty it
tanyhow.
Wise suggestion, but where to get
the iron? The committee in the
East suggested some one. All,
true, "our coal oil is exhausted too,''
said some one else. ITO the tele-
graph office" shouted several. To
the telegraph Office rushed every one,
i telegram was sent. ''send coal oil
and sheet iron
Back came the answer. show much
coal oil and what size sheet iron. j.
Another conference by our people.
hich resulted in the pans being
made of any length, but wide enough
that the young choppers" could not
jump across, yet not too wide to be
unwieldly. Some of US boys were
sent outside TO make the young
choppers Jump, and measure the
length of that jump, with the result
that we reported that ''those darned
'hoppers' can jump anywhere from
two inches to twenty feet (The
truth was, they were so numerous
you could not keep track of any GER
tain one.
Again we went out and tried to
measure the jump, with the aid of
someboards, and this time it was we
boys who made a discovery-thatit it
was not the length. of the jump, but
the height, that was Important, and
we soon found that in his present
stage he could jump no less than two
feet. Then we reported,~ with the
suggestion that the pans be made
only a few inches high in front, a
couple of feet in the back and the
sides to conform with the front and
back, therefore any size sheet iron
would do.

time, and material and tools to work

the choppers cannot jump over, but

The Socialist Vote.

The biggest feature Of the recent
election returns are the tremendous
gains made in the socialist vote thru
out the country. A great number of
cities elected socialist mayors and
councilmen. In our own state the
City Of Crookston elected socialist
mayor. It is we'll. The people are
becoming sick and tired Of the n.y.
pocrisy and corruption, which is
shielded under the cloak Of old party
names. Instead Of being instruments
for the public welfare the old par
ties are now used only as a means of
keeping the party-tied voters in line
for reactionary policies and men who
ought to be retired. The socialist
vote should alarm no one, but rather
encourage them with hope for the
future. We will never get any laws
except what majority Of the peo-
pie of the country want, and under

That Kandiyohi Petition.

Kandiyohi county is once again in
the public eye of the state since the
publication in the daily papers of the
Twin Cities and Duluth of the letter
in favor of DR.. Northrop for COVER
nor, which was signed by the Repub-
ican County Committee and others.
This is the worst slam in the face yet
sustained by Gov. Eberhart. It would
be interesting to know what the gov
ernor has done or failed to do dur
ing the past year to so completely
reverse the opinion Of himself in the
minds Of these gentlemen? A year
ago he was lauded to the skies and
used in no less than six speeches to
assist this honorable committee in
pulling their local chestnuts out of
the fire. Now his administration is a
menace to the "dignity and service"
of the office he holds! In our humble
opinion Gov. Eberhart has been alb
solutely consistent in his subservien-
cy to the interests in the administra-
ton as governor with his previous
attitude as lieutenant governor and
presiding officer of the State Senate.
He had the right to believe that his
election as governor was an endorse
ment of his work as lieutenant COVER
nor.
In their choice of a successor we
do not believe the committee voices
the opinion Of any large number of
Kandiyohi county people. We state
this from the expressions we have
heard since the petition was publish
ed. With the profoundest respect
and admiration for the retired
''prexy" Of the university, the peo-
pie do not think that he is the proper
man to face the critical issues ahead
as the chief executive of the state.

on the railroads. According to the
conservative Tax Commission of the
State the railroad taxes should be
increased if they are to pay in the
same proportion as other property
holders. The increase Of the next
two years will be lost without spe-
cial session. At the least estimate
these railroad taxes would amount
to two million for two years, while
the cost of special session at the
worst would be small fraction OF
that. The legislators are paid a sa-
larry, which they draw whether they
meet again or not. They are repre-
sentatives of the public interests and
why should they not meet to discuss
the States business when there are
such important matters that demand
attention?

under the promise that they will

talpa is not adapted to this climate,

tried it testify to this fact. It will

Why not accede to Congressman
Lindberg's wishes of remaining in
Congress, but at the same time pro-
mote him to the upper house? He
should file in the republican primary
for U. S. Senator. If the progress
sives of Minnesota mean anything
by their "progressiveness" they must
certainly give the voters chance tc
choose someone beside Uncle Knute

which side he lines up. We know OF

The Peoples Representatives Should
Meet.

The very people who profited by
the failure of the last session of the
legislature to pass progressive laws
and in the extravagant appropria-
tons which have raised state taxes
to the highest point for 81 years are
now among those most loudly depre-
eating the idea of an extra session.
Perhaps they fear that with the ex-
perience the legislators have had af-
ter their return to their homes they
would be more difficult to manage in
extra session.
We believe the legislature should
meet to preserve the "proper dignity
Of the State in respect to the ar
rogant attitude Of the railroads Of
the State. So far there has not been
whisper of protest from official
sources at the outrage Of judicial
notification Of State laws, and the
attitude Of the railroads in taking
advantage of the situation to estab-
lish the rankest kind of discrimina-
ton in favor of the big Cities and
interests. The legislature should
meet as a righteous protest. Then
it can make it's session worth while

cling the proper share of taxation up

i Congressman Volstead advocates
that the Legislature should prohibit
the sale of mileage books and giving
Of excursion rates. In this way the
big cities and the big wholesale hous-
es who maintain an army of travel
ing men on the roads would join the
people in general in the demand for
a two-cent rate. There is good logic
in til MS. If the common people must
pay three cents, make the big fellows
do it as we'll. r.-,
