Jefferson, The Radical

In these times of .avoWed progress
sivism it is gratifying to find that
more than hundred years ago ex-
tremely radical views were held by
some of the leaders Of that day, the
most radical of them all being Thomas
Jefferson. History tells us that at
the time of his election he.was de-
nounced by the holders Of privileges
as "a red'' and that the press and pull
pit. the bar and the colleges, polite
society in general we're all against
him. His election was considered a
national calamity and there were COM
munities that went into mourning over
it. He was the boldest innovator that
ever appeared upon the stage OF prac-
tical politics, Compared with JET

It has been so long since we had q
chance to do a little Growing that we
must make use of the opportunity that
now is ours. With Wilson and
Marshall elected with handsome
anajorities it won't be so hard to stand
two years more of Eberbardt and
anyway, we have the proud con-
seriousness that New Ulm as a city
registered its choice for the man of
sterling character who honored the
Democratic party by his candidacy
for the governorship. New Ulm was
right, too, in the vote for Qthe presi-
.dency but we must admit the vote on

the income tax case or Roosevelt for
the Chicago case. Speaking of Chief
Justice Marshall J. effersoh said he
"enshrouded himself in cunning and
sophistry and twisted the, law dex-
terously to suit his personal bias
Jefferson was known as the cham
Ipion of the laboring classes and his
writings sound like a socialist agita-
tors speech. He could think of no
words strong enough to express his
condemnation of the preying Of the
rich upon the poor and his denuncia-
tions of monopoly extended to every
class of trade restraint. Listen to
what he had to say on the ownership
of land ."The earth is given as com
mon stock for men to labor and live
on. No individual has of natural right
la separate property in a single acre
of land. Ownership is gift of social
law and has nothing to do with natural
rights" " '>:>1 ..-ss :
Those who have been Mortified by
the disregard which has of late been
paid to our Constitution will find JEFF
ferson astoundingly irreverent with
regard to that instrument. He says:
"SOme men look at constitutions
with sanctimonious reverence, and
deem them like the ark of the coven-
ant too sacred to be touched. But
laws and institutions must go hand
in hand with progress. AS new discov-
cries are made, new truths disclosed
and manners and opinions change with
the change of circumstances, institu-
tions must advance also and keep
pace with the times We might as
well require man to wear still the
coat which fitted him when a boy
as civilized society to remain ever
under the regimen of their ancestors.
Let us not weakly believe that one
generation is not as capable as an
other of taking care of itself and OF
ordering it's own affairs. If this
avenue be shut to the call of suffrage
it will make itself heard through that
of force" 49, 81 =
Thus we see that the great leader
of Democracy, the "Sage of Monti-
cello," as he came to be called by
those who learned to understand his
~. u. 1@0 ~r
the people was in reality more radical
that the most advanced of our present
day politicians and he built up a par
ty organization that for half cen
tury ruled the country well. Democ-
racy has just another such chance to-
day to take hold of country ridden
by bosses and monopolies and make
of it really a land of the free. :.

The above copy of the bill of lad
ing of the steamer Jane Shelby is
sued fifty-four years ago, when the
possibilities of the Minnesota river
were taken advantage of, and the
steamer Wave with Maxwell as mas
ter piled between the port of Saint
Paul and Redwood and the Jeanette
Roberts and other good boats used
to stop at New Ulm, offers some food
for thought on the future possibili
ties of river-navigation. Our younger
generation probably has never paid
a passing thought to how practically
all of the trading was handled by
river in the early days, but the older
residents will recall with pleasure
the arrival and departure of the
boats. The Minnesota river has re-
manned navigable stream for con-
gressional purposes only" as our
friend Larry Kennedy puts it. River
navigation is receiving increased at
tention in all parts of the country
and many of the neglected streams
will some day be put to good use
again. It will take some drastic
legislation and the expenditure of a
large amount of money to bring this
about. In the meantime New Ulm
should continue to figure the Mime
sofa river as valuable asset and
mot neglect its rights in connection
with the same. When the town was
laid out, the founders provided for a
public landing place which should be
assured for public use for all time.
Our friends on the "Alcantara" who
have had to call hands OUT in or
der to lift the boat over the sand
bars, may think it is. far cry to
river navigation, but what has. been
done for other neglected streams can
|also be done for the Minnesota.
Water competition makes low freight
rates The water competition of the
Great Lakes is the cause of low
rates being made by the railroads be
tween. the east and northwest; the
water competition Of the Mississippi
lis the occasion of low rates from
saint Louis and partly from the
northwest to the gulf. Kansas City
interests have organized million
dollar navigation company which has
placed boats and tows on the Mis-
souri, river in order to show the pos
sibilities of that river and secure
proper recognition from the govern
ment. The Minnesota river has. it's
possibilities and New Ulm should be
interested in revival of the river
traffic.

Winning With Wilson

The democratic slogan during the
campaign was "Winning with Wilson,"
Wilson has won the election by an
unprecedented vote, but this does not
necessarily mean that the people have
won with him, unless their support
continues beyond the brief battle of
ballots. ...@
Those who have associateds demo
cratic success with business stagna-
tion, the empty dinner pail and the
bread line must disabuse their minds
eof these hallucinations We have in
this land of ours, all the natural re-
sources which make for prosperity
and it does not depend upon the sue
cess of this man or that man, this or
that party.
Unquestionably the president-elect
is a man of high honor and intelli-
gence; a student of economic condi-
tions and not without practical train
ing. There is no reason why he should
want to plunge the country into pow
erty, or fill the highways with idle
men. ~
The best way to help Wilson and
thus win with him is to keep on at
tending to business, confident and un.
afraid Panic is principally a state
of mind; the start of it, at least is.
There was nothing in the election just
held to cause a panicky mental state
and it is up to the citizens of this
country to maintain such mental
attitude, that the idea of panic will
fail to find lodgment. ><

Not One Man Essential

AT Tacoma, Wash, where he spoke
TO a large crowd, Governor Marshall
said: =,
$.E'I object to your idea that this gov.
ernment depends upon the life, the
patriotism or the effort of any indi-
vidual leader. Good government or
bad government simply goes back to
the people that make up the citizen
ship of this country. This government
does not rest upon the shoulders of
its officials, but 1t does rest upon in
tdividual shoulders of 90,OOO,0O0 Of it's
~citizens. That's where responsibility
rests. When you effectively have
taught this great lesson to the popu-
Lace of this country you will protect
THE lives of your public servants from
such an attack as occurred recently

s.ElectiOn Results

Politics would be tragic if they
weren't funny and one of the funniest
things we have heard of in the present
campaign was the fstic encounter
and another citizen. At least if the
encounter itself was not funny the
Journals account of it was decidedly
So. We haven't had SO good q laugh
in a long time as we INDUCED in at
the remark that Mr.. Berg landed "a
heavy blow straight from the shoulder
on the defeated socialist candidates.
DrObisczls. - The first time we read it
the word looked queer to US and We
took another look thinking there
might be a typographical error
when suddenly it dawned upon us that
our brother editor had gotten into
deep water in trying to find words
long enuf to suit front page account
of an after election scrap.
We do not know or care how the
dispute started. No doubt there was
provocation on both sides; there
usually is in a quarrel. Feeling
usually runs, high in contest so close
as the last election was.
The blood is apt to boil easily and
it may be that our republican editor
was just a bit more agile than our
socialist editor and saved his own
''probicus" by narrow margin We
democrats stayed close at home md
that may be why we we're congratulated
on the fact that we we're the only
editors in town who didn't get seat
ing after the election. With all meek
ness we admit somebody might have
landed heavy blow on our 'probis-
cus'' and spoiled our beauty il we had
ventured forth but as yet that has not
happened and we fervently hope that
no more strained relations will occur
to cause our esteemed contemporary
to perform such contortiOns 10 the
