STATE NEWS IN BRIEF
AGGRESSIVE CLUB FOR
GOOD SPORTSMkNSH|r
Hutchinson Society breaches the
Propaganda of Protecting All Wild
Animal Life.

| Hutchinson.-This may not be the
| largest town in the sovereign state OF
Minnesota, but it has more live wires
loose in it than is ordinarily found in
| the roUndhouse of a metropolitan troll
ley system. No implication of danger
goes with this, as most of them look
like they could be touched-for reason
able amounts-if approached under
proper auspices and adequate or salts
factory reasons given. The power
plant of this system of live wires
seems to be located in the Gopher
Campfire club, numerically the larg-
est, temperamentally the liveliest, and
in effect the most aggressive organiza-
tion of its kind in the state, if not the
country.
The fourth annual dinner of the
Of the Hutchinson High school and
| attended by more than 300 members
and guests. This dinner has come to
| be an annual function and the Gophers
seem, so far as can be discovered, to
have been the original discoverers of
| how to put the fun in function.
Amy organization which can give a
dinner starting out at o'clock and
not breaking up until after midnight,

will sign the Articles of Faith" and
then live up to them-and make con-

he has signed the articles or not.
The articles of faith constitute an

ism and unsportsmarlike conduct on
| the part of hunters and fishermen. The
club extends it's domain of influence
even beyond the fish and game preser-
walton and is preaching the propa.

The club now numbers more than

ate or brother-in-law members. Every
man is active and the club has grown
out Of Hutchinson and is taking in the

are: President, Carlos Avery; vice
president, c. G. McEwen; secretary

ficers outside of the governorship is
made by the retirement of Samuel G.
Iverson, state auditor for twelve years,
and the succession Of ]. A. o. Preus,
now commissioner of insurance, to
that position.
There has been some speculation as
to what might occur should the House
fiHd itself deadlocked over the speak
ership. Although the situation hardly
Is probable, the fight between the two
Sam Y. Gordon, is so even it is, OF
course, entirely possible.
This would be especially true should
third man enter the race and be
able to hold the balance of power.
Should the deadlock continue until
the time for the Inauguration of the
governor, there Is no precedent to in
dicate who would preside over the
Joint session. The House, however, it
Is assumed, could agree on some man,
not a candidate for speaker, to pre-
side in a temporary capacity.
The Legislature will have 1877 men,
bers, 81 senators and 130 representa-
tives. It Is the first Minnesota assem-
bly, to be elected under the nonparti-
san law and much interest has been
shown in the manner in which the
members will align themselves on var
ius issues without party policies to
guide them.

Terms Football Brutal Sport.

To the Editor of the Mail Bag:
A recent news item in your paper tells
US that the courts have passed a law
to abolish baseball and football play
ing on Sunday. don't approve Of the
baseball aui..us, but do most heartily
advocate the football. The only thing
that is wrong with that law is that it
only puts stop to the game on Sun
day, and leaves 1t run it's course on
other days. Football Is inhuman in
every respect. Young men and boys are
killed nearly every day, and seldom ,s
there a game played wherein a bone is
not broken or dislocated, or a scar is
not engraved upon several of the COM
batants. In the 0den days. bull-fight-
ing and cock-fighting were the main
sources of public interest When the
brutality of these sports was recog-
nized the people turned attention to
boxing. as sport. We all know what
this pastime has brought about. to wit,
the death Of many, and ultimately the
list of the law.
1 say to you, readers of these COL
umns. that. ere this generation has
passed away, the game of football shall
have become g. thing Of the past.

A FARM SURVEY.

A conference of agricultural au'
thorities is sitting in Washington
this week, considering the problem OF
rural credits; which means, the ma,
tional program for financing agricul'
ture in a way that will best serve
the purposes of agriculture. 1t is
come to be pretty well understood
that the farm requires a different
kind of financing than that which
serves other business. Other coun-
tries have found ways to provide it.
This country must.
One proposal that has been put
forward is for a great farm census;
an agricultural survey of the nation.
There is report of determined oppo-
sition, on the gound that it would
cost perhaps $2,0OO,0O0. Neverthe-
less, the survey proposal ought to
carry.
Preliminary to any intelligent ef-
fort at handling the problem Of
American agriculture-and that is,
in large measure, the problem of
cost of living-it is necessary to
know what the problem is. That
points straight to the survey as a
means to understanding the problem.

AUSTRALIA, TOO.

The National Association of Manu-
facturers finds that Australia is in
sore need of a great variety OF
things it has heretofore bought in
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and
other countries whose exporting Ca
pacity is destroyed or impaired by
the war. Australia bought S35, ,000,-
600 a year from Germany alone; a
third as much from France. Posi-
tive hatred of everything from Ger
many is the present Australian SEN
timent. On the other hand there is a
most enthusiastic desire for closer
business and political relations with
the United States, which has been
growing ever since our battleship
feet visited that country.
Great Britain is making a desper-
ate effort to surround just as much
as possible of this trade, in the hope
of holding it after the war. The
United States has need to get in
early if it would seize it's share. AS
in every other direction, trade op-
portunity depends largely on prompt
ness of action.
Do Americans really want the
business?
If so, right now is the time to go

UNDERWEAR NEEDED
FOR THE AUSTR|ANS
Ambassador Dumba Asks Nom
Interference With Shipments
on Neutral Ships.

Austria needs ont only cotton but
cotton and wool underwear. 1t was
stated today at the Austro-Hungarian
embassy.
Upon the receipt Of advices from vi
emma, Ambassador Dumba asked the
State Department to learn from Great
britain whether shipments Of underwear
to Austria on neutral vessels would be
interfered with. The question was 70,
ferred to the British foreign office to-
day.
Ambassador Dumba said Austria
needs underwear for men, women. and
children. and that his government hopes
it will be possible for underclothing for
women and children to be shipped
abroad.
Some idea of the tremendous freight
rates to Austria was given today by
the ambassador, who said that it costs
s1OO to send goods worth $50 and $40 to
his country.

BIDS FOR LOYALTY.

Of all the curious features of the
war, the necessity, that the so-called
nations" Of eastern Europe are un-
der of bidding for the loyalty of
their presumed nationals is one of
the most striking and not the least
promising and illumining.
First it was Russia, promising au-
tonomy to the Poles; then Austria,
trying to keep the Czechs warm and
the Ruthenians cool with concessions
and privileges. Now it is the Turks,
offering citizenship to the Jews.
Looking back on history, one finds
this the way and war the necessity
out of which real nations have
grown. But eastern Europe today is
hopelessly behind the rest Of the
world. Her racial mixtures are as
complex as Americas, and worse
than Americas in that they are
forced. There is everywhere con-
queror and a conquered, everywhere
jealousy of leadership and prestige
and a dream of one-time independ-
ence and power. Russia went into
this war a combination of heterogen-
eous, antagonistic peoples. Austria
went into it with Austrian outcrowd-
ing Magyar and Magyar depressing
Pole, and Pole domineering Ruthen-
ian. Turkey went into it Moham-
medan and tyrannical oligarchy.
They are all political, artificial
powers, without place in the general
process of national consolidation in
which racial unity has been the chief
factor. What to do with their dis
cordant elements has been a problem
both for themselves and for the in
ternational politician at large. There
was talk at the beginning of the war
of a remodeling Of Europe's geog-
raphy on racial considerations. That
would be a problem as difficult now
as it was year or fifty years ago.
But it is barely possible that this
wild necessity of purchasing loyalty
by concessions of equality will go far
toward solving the problem. Equal
ity presages assimilation. 1t is what
has rendered possible our own mar
velous rate of assimilation of di-
verse races. And if this war can
break down, or is breaking down,
the forces that have so long kept
Austria, Russia, and all the east in
internal conflict one of the live
causes of war will have been much
abated through it's indirect agency.
