Senator. Comics. Their unfltne...

Senators Confess Their Unfitness.
Certain Senators whose political
records consist mainly in voting pow
or to trusts, or in resisting revoca-
ton of such. power, now yirtuously
prevent confirmation of the appoint
ment of a citizen who used the power
granted by legislation which they fav-
or. If these Senators reasoned cor
rectly when they concluded that
Thomas D. Jones was unfit for the po-
sition to which he had been appoint
ed, then according to the same reas-
oning they have condemned them
selves. Whatever Jones may be, ne
was made by the legislation which
these Senators have helped to enact
or have refused to help repeal. Sen
ators Reed, Hitchcock, Nelson, Bris-
tow and others, have by implication,
charged themselves with creating I'M
fitness in citizenship. While such dis
closures may not be surprising it is
"a novel thing that it should be con-
fessed.
It is not reasonable to suppose that
these Senators believe their act to be
an injury to any predatory interest.
The real motive seems rather to be
desire to embarrass the administra-
ton and to block it's progressive pol.
icies. Jones' business connections of.
fered or seemed to offer an opportun.
ity for trust-serving Senators to make
show of opposition to trusts, while
fighting against President who has
forced his party to be more progress
i've than it wanted to be. The trusts
can very easily endure denunciations
in long-winded senatorial speeches
and can even bear with equanimity
exclusion from public Office of one OF
more of their directors. What they
can not endure is an attack on theil
privileges. They have reason to fee
that President Wilson's influence i:
not to be used in favor of warding OF
such attacks. To injure or destro!
his influence is one thing which the.
have cause to feel is of immediate i'm
portance to their interests. It is no
probable that the rejection of Jone
has had such a result. But the hop
that it would was apparently the me

SCHOOLHOUSE CLOSED
TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
Raymond News Tells Of Lockout Of
Sunday School Congregation at
PrinsburQ Public School.

Prinsburg Public School.
The services last Sunday at the
Prinsburg public school were inter-
esting in many ways. A good congre-
cation had gathered when to their sur
prise it was found that the doors were
locked and windows securely fastened
down and for the first time in the his
tory of the community the Sunday
school congregation were locked out.
It was generally believed that the
present change in the personnel of
the school board had something to do
with it. However the autos and bug

ladies were given seats in them. The
men and boys sitting in the shade Of

was followed by a very helpful serv-

ARMED PEACE A DELUSlON.

The armed peace of Europe has
proven to be delusion and a snare
1t has exploded into what promises to
become the bloodiest of modern wars
The mad race for supremacy and
power, backed up with great arma-
ments and military establishments,
has reached it's inevitable conclusion.
The staggering burdens entailed
upon the people by the ever-increas-
ing demands Of the military arms,
seems almost to make them welcome
the outburst regardless of the fear
full immediate consequences to them
selves. In all Europe the war spirit
runs high and dominates the nations.
In Paris one at the leading peace ad-
vOcates was assassinated. The armies
go forward singing national anthems
and praying to the same God for vic
tory.
Like the gamblers VINO sit about a
table with an accommodating Jackpot
between them, each holding cards
which they believe will win, and each
putting up all their resources in or
der to stay in the game, the big
powers Of Europe are now facing the
showdown when it will be deter
mined who holds the best hand. But
the climax will spill oceans of blood
and bring ruin and disaster and i'm
measurable misery to the people of
each nation, the victors as we'll as
the vanquished.
The ethics of these great nations
still cling to the old idea that might
makes right, something to which the
very civilization of which they
boast gives the lie. Suppos e
that every family in the community
should become inbued with the idea
that the only way to keep the peace
with their neighbors would be to be
armed to the teeth; every man would
wear a cartridge belt with pistols
and bowie knives; every home would
be mortgaged to buy the latest am
munition; good share of the time be
spent by the inhabitants in shooting
at targets and in practice fighting
does any sane person believe that
such state of preparedness would
guarantee the peace of the neighbor-
hood? But there is a vast difference
between nation and an individual.
True, but not in the principle. After
all, our boasted civilization is only
skin deep. Scratch the surface and
stark savagery appears.
America is now more than ever the
hope of the world. The wisdom of

WATCH YOUR HOGS
every DAY IN WEEK
Hog Cholera Cases Have Ap-
peared and Extreme Care
" Is Necessary.

For the remainder of this year it is
very important for every man rails
ing hogs to carefully observe their
condition every day. The time of year
is approaching when the conditions
are more favorable for an outbreak
and spread of cholera, and every man
should be ready to act Immediately
upon the first appearance of sickness
in his herd.
Without any question a section has
never been better prepared to meet
an outbreak Of hog cholera than are
the counties of West Central Mime
sofa. In the hands of County Agents
of the various counties and the Veter-
inarians there is constant supply of
serum to be secured by anyone the
moment that cholera is found in his
herd, and through the West Central
Minnesota Development Association
arrangements have been made, that
whatever amount of serum is needed
may be secured.
AS to the plan of organization for
the control of cholera the effective
ness of it's operation now depends up
on the quick action that must be tax
en- by the man whose hogs are to be
vaccinated. The importance of prop
er feeding, protection of ones herd
Through keeping the hogs clean, and
preventing the disease being carried
onto ones farm have been stated and
restated sufficiently to inform all
what should be accomplished by these
measures.
But when hogs become sick from
cholera or dangerously subject to in
lection, so far as we now know, there
is only one thing to do-namely tc
vaccinate with reliable hog cholera
serum, such as is placed on reserve
in each county in this section. What
is most important is that there be
mo DELAY whatever in gettings hogs
vaccinated after sickness appears. A
number of men have already suffered
heavy losses by waiting two or three
days or a week after the hogs showed
signs of trouble and then called the
county agent or veterinarian out after
they were too far gone to make vac
cination advisable.
A number of cases have been re
ported where the symptoms, or indi
cations of sickness, were not very de
finite and the owners waited. These
important facts should be remember
ed 1) There is practically no Other
disease affecting hogs that causes
them to die as suddenly and as rapid
ly as does cholera. (2) Nine out Of
ten hogs that die have cholera.
Then if cholera is in the section, az
it is now, and your animals act in any
way different from usual, you had bet
ter call the county agent, or veterin
arian to determine the nature Of the
trouble and have them come with the
material to vaccinate your hogs; i
the sickness is cholera, for the sooner
it is done the better.
i Let us save our hogs for they are
worth too much to lose. It can be
done by timely action on the part o.
the hog owners.

Notes Of the Game.

Notes Of the Game.
Including the game of last Sunday
the averages Of the four leading bat
ters of the local team were as follows:
kelly, 480; Buck Johnson, 378; Dean,
346 and McGrew, 1893. -
Owing to the fact that Coy and KEEL
ty had worked together all summer
as a battery, Peck was sent behind the
bat in the second inning. McGrew
showed his. versatility by coming in
to first base and playing good ball.
The same can be said of Nordstrom,
who went to left field.
Geo. Capron, the big boy who play
ed center field for the visitors sure
could hit that pill. The first time up
he stepped into the first ball Coy
pitched to him and drove it between
left and center. He got three bases
on the hit, altho the play at third was
close, and it looked as tho he was
caught.
The next time he sent a terrific line
drive to the left of short, and Benny
Nelson knocked it down with his glov-
ed hand and threw him out at first.
The third time Cape drove another
one to left center, but wonderfully
fast fielding by Carlson held it to a
double. Capron also robbed Nelson
of hit in the first inning when he
speared a hot line drive that looked
good for at least triple If not home
run.
The local outfielders didn't have a
great deal to do. Williams handled
his one chance easily, while Carlson
made a great running catch of Swag-
gert's short fly to left center, and
Nordstrom grabbed Undum's line
drive that looked safe.
The less said about the umpiring
the better. The work of the arbitra-
tor on balls and strikes was as rotten
as we have even seen. He didn't ex-
actly favor either team, but he gave
them both some awful decisions.
80
To Bob Johnson goes the honor of
making the first home run made by a
Willmar man in long time. Attic
it wasn't exactly a legitimate home
run, it was some swat and counts just
as much as if he had knocked it to
Priam.
| The work of Johnnie McGOvern,
George Capron and John Paul Jones
of the visitors was watched with a
great deal of interest by the fans.
| The crowd was the largest that has
attended a game in this city for a
number Of years, and they were we'll
repaid for their trouble.
| Hessian and Ralph Capron missed
the last train out of Minneapolis Sat.
urday evening, so the two Gordham-
ers' had to be secured by the visitors
That ninth inning for each team was
as wild an affair as has been seen on
the local diamond in a long time
Both teams seemed to 60 to pieces
with the greatest Of ease.
The visitors were a fine bunch OF
men, and it is hoped they can come
up again the last of the month for an.
other game. The crowd would sure
be a whopper.
"Choppie" Deans hitting was one
of the features of the game. Three
times he came to bat with two down
and men on second, and three times
he produced the hit that scored the
man. The last one tied the score.
| Benny Nelson did some great field.
ing around short. His stop and throw
on Geo. Capron's fast drive in the
third was beaut, while few in.
nings later he. knocked down hard
drive from Nichols bat with his meat
hand. He is valuable addition to
the team.
