lINDBfRGH is SILENT
MINNESOTA CONGRESSMAN WILL
NOT DISCUSS CONFERENCE
WITH ROOSEVELT

Washington, Aug. 22.-Representa-
tive Lindbergh returned to Washing
ton yesterday from Oyster Bay, to
which place he quietly journeyed Tues
day to talk in that community.
''I am not at liberty to discuss my
visit at Oyster Bay at length,' said
the returned pilgrim yesterday, "but I
will say that I went because I was sent
for. Most Of my conference, however,
concerned the distribution of literature
designed to show up conditions in the
present house Of representatives. This
literature will soon be distributed, and
doubtless will be great help to the
bull moose cause''
Interest is given to Mr.. Lindbergh g
visit to Oyster Bay because of his own
uncertain position in the present polit-
ical situation. At one time Mr.. Lind
bergh, after introducing a resolution
providing for the adjustment Of the
senate, became candidate for a seat
in that body. This candidacy, how
ever lasted only until he returned home
to see how it had been received. On
his return from Minnesota he with
drew and has since failed to announce
whether he would seek reelection to
the house. He says now, however, that
he will probably give out an announce
ment as to his own position within a
few days.

IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY

On account OF the exceptionally large
grain crop throughout the Northwest
this year and the naturally heavy ship
ments Of coal, lumber and other com
modities during the fall and early win
ter, and in order that the railway
companies may promptly handle the
fall business, it is very important that
shippers Of all classes of goods should
cooperate with the railway com.
panies in handling this traffic so as to
avoids delay. The railway companies are
arranging to provide all the equipment
necessary to handle shipments within
a reasonable period if the business is
not "bunched' on them. The so-called
car shortage is seldom really an actual
shortage Of ears. It is almost invariably
caused by concentratin at one time
shipments of products which can easily
be extended over wider period. Delays
in loading and unloading cars and a
shortage Of storage facilities for coal
lumber, grain ETC., at interior towns
also help to congest business and pre-.
vent the prompt release of loaded cars
and their future and continued use.
If the people and the shippers OF
the Northwest will endeavor to place
their orders for coal and other com
mercial products early in the season
and arrange proper storage facilities
for coal, lumber, grain, etc., great
deal OF this delay, particularly during
the winter time, will be avoided. The
people of the Northwest can facilitate
this by placing their orders, for ex
ample, for coal and similar commodities
with the local dealers early in the
season and having same delivered tt
them. In this way they will assist the
shippers and, necessarily, the trans
portation companies, in so arranging
| the movement Of business that there
will be no congrestion.

vii son and THE POLISH
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE POSE
TON MADE CLEAR-THINKS
WE'LL OF THEM "

Quite clever article is being: useg
by papers in this territory, in an al
tempt to show that Woodrow Wilson
has no liking for the Polish people. The
same is well answered by Mr.. Wilson
in letter to Polish gentleman in
Chicago. The article is published in
the New York Evening Post, and is as
follows: :
"My dear Mr.. Piotrowski: :.
81 remember with pleasure meeting
you when was in Chicago, and esteen
it privilege to reply to your frank
and interesting letter of March H.. :,
"My History was written on so con-
densed scale that I am only too weI
aware that passages such as you quote
are open to misconstruction, though. Z
think their meaning is plain when they
are scrutinized. No one who knows any
thing of the history Of Europe can fail
to-, be familiar with the distinguished
history of the Polish people, and anF
writer who spoke without discrimina~
tion Of members Of that nation as con-
stituting ean undesirable element in
population would not only be doing
a gross injustice, but exhibiting =
great ignorance.
81 did not know all of the facts VOC
so Interestingly set forth in your let
ter, but I did know in a general way
Of the honorable and useful careers Of
the Polish citizens of America and of
the self-respect and steady achieve
ment Of the Polish communities which
have been established in various parts
Of the country. In the passage quoted
from my history, I was speaking Of a
particular time when it had become
the practice Of certain employers ON
this side Of the water to import large
numbers of unskilled laborers, under
contract for the purpose Of displacinf
American labor, for which they would
have been obliged to pay more.
"They were drawing, in many cases.
upon a class Of people who would not
have come of their own motion, and
who were not truly representative Of
| the finer elements Of the countries from
which they came. 1t was, of course.
never in my mind to compare the
normal immigrant from Europe with
the Chinese laborer. Indeed. I had ne
| discrimination in mind, which involved
anything more than calling attention
to the fact that whatever mi ght be the
merits of the question as to the ad-
mission of Chinese into this country
from the point of view Of general pub
lie policy, the labor Of the Chinese had
been intelligent and extremely usefu9
in many fields which they had been
permitted to enter.
~ know that a Just and thoug ghtfN
man like yourself will pay no attention
to the miscellaneous neutrality-suspicious.
which have been put upon the passage
referred to, and that you will have al
ready endeavored to interpret it. Your
letter has very graciously offered me
an opportunity to make this ex-
planation.

TWO PARTIES MAY. ERECT POTA-
TO WAREHOUSE-CLU PAYS
DEFICIENCY OF FAIR SOCIETY

At special meeting Of the COM
mercial club held on Thursday evening,
Aug. Is, it was decided to loan enough
to the Morrison County Cooperative
society to make up its deficiency.
| F. W. Dobbyn s application for mem
bership was accepted.
in behalf of the T. II. Cochran COM
pany to ask what kind of a proposition
could be offered in regard to turning
over the old picking station to the T. H.
Cochran company, which was to be re-
built into potato warehouse.
Mr.. Cochran stated that according
to the estimate Of a contractor the
building would not be worth more than
about 5000 to the Cochran company. As
the clubs interest in the building
amounted to over $500 and because 9TH
er local men had asked for a PROPOSE
tion on the building, the matter was
turned over to the board Of directors,
who met Sunday evening but failed to
come to an agreement.
At Mondays meeting the matter was
withdrawn from the board Of directors.
R. L. Cochran presented a letter in
which it was stated that the T. H.
Cochran company did not expect
financial support. They left it to the
pleasure of the club to aid them in
securing bids on the construction Of a
building at the lowest possible figures
and aid in selection of a site for the
building. S. G. Vasaly and j. X. Martin
were appointed a commission to aid
Mr.. Cochran.
The estimate made by local con-
tractor was $4,000 and according to
the letter, was from 5000 to 500 more
than the company have been paying
for the erection Of such buildings in
Wisconsin.
T.. H. Dewey said that the picking
station building was larger than what
he wanted, and that he would likely
build new potato house.
The he meeting was then adjourned.

THE ORATOR WHO NEARLY
LOST HIS PANTS
In the September American Magazine
appears the following about delegate
at the Baltimore convention who made
a speech:
tfThe crowd listened approvingly to
frenzied speech from Southwestern
statesman who introduced an entirely
new gesture. With his right hand out.
stretched he made wild clutches at
his shoulder with his left hand thumb.
It turned out that this was no mere
affectation to emphasize his rhetoric,
but that his 'galluses' were slipping.
He remarked to fellow delegate as
he came down from the platforms: Il
durn near lost my pants.'"
