princess. slave to her peculiar duty to
the law, became q potential breaker of
that law? For though she was to he a

visited the Princess Clothilde The grand

She hardly knew him: she didn't want

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1915-10-27

The Review is in receipt Of long
communication this week from a party
who signs a name and claims to be a
resident of the city. We have been un-
able to locate the person by the name
given but it is quite possible that such
a party exists. We should be glad, in
view of the fact that the person makes
several serious charges against the post
office department and some of its en-
ployes, in this city to have fuller proof
of the truth Of the statements made
before we use them. The Review is
willing at all times to publish anything
in the nature of a complaint when we
have proof that the complaint is well
grounded. We do not know that the
facts as charged are not true but it
would be wrong of any newspaper to
publish them without being absolutely
sure that they are authentic. If the
writer of the letter will make himself
known to us definitely and will furnish
proof of his statements, there will be no
hesitation about publishing the charges.

We found the following prose poem
in an exchange. It's true too. Read
this: 81 am the guy called printers
ink; put hard times upon the blink,
my face is black as Erebus, but I'm a
lively, hustling cuss. I make men rich
who once were poor-I'm on the job
I am for sure. I get work for the
laboring man, and help to fill the dinner
can; I aid girls who must earn their
feed-I am the. friend Of all in need. I
sell all things from pins to guns in
cargoes of thousand tons. I'm on the
job both night and day, away from work
I never stay. I'm "A T., 20. K, and
IT., and take a vacation, nit. I
serve the small as well as great, (see
business office for my rate), / am the
guy who brings the dough, just try and
you'll find it so.''

One-just one-earnest prohibition
worker of Englewood, N. j., has written
a letter-apparently quite serious-to a
New York newspaper in which he says:
Il regard the anti-liquor crusade as
merely the beginning Of much larger
movement-a movement that will have
as its watchword Efficiency by Govern
ment." If l had my way I would not
only close up the saloons and race tracks.
l would close all tobacco shops, confec-
tionery stores, delicatessen shops and
other places where gastronomic deviltries
are purveyed-all low theaters and bath
ing beaches. would forbid the selling
OF gambling devices such as playing cards,
checkers and chess sets; I would forbid
the holding of socialistic, anarchistic and
atheistic meetings; would abolish dane
ing; I would abolish the sale of tea and
coffee and | would forbid the making or
sale OF pastry, pie, cake and such like
trash"
Ii that is what the prohibition move
ment is leading up to, most sober citizens
will be disposed to lend less support to
prohibition. We're not quite ready yet
to have moral and dietary perfection
thrust upon us. Most of US want little
liberty to amuse ourselves, and even to
abuse ourselves, some of the time, in
some way or other.
The trouble with such extreme re-
formers is that they're trying to speed
up human virtue by sitting on the moral
Safety value. If normal man were for
hidden to drink, smoke, go to shows,
play cards, dance, drink coffee and eat
pie, how long would it be before some
thing would bust? And how long would

Splq0t EcOn0may.

oPVSOV ASO'oN"oO'
The attempts OF the British govern
ment to economic in public expenditures,
that resulted in the laying off of 1,7OO
persons engaged on the land valuation,
still troubles the admirers of real demo-
cratic England. The great fundamental
principle involved in the famous budget
of 1909 depends for practical execution
upon this land valuation. And it has
been the expectation Of many that the
government, in its present strait, would
have recourse to this great fund to defray
the expenses of the war. But that there
has been a turning aside from this pur-
pose would seem to be indicated by the
present move. For the government to
stop the salaries of the clerks and others
engaged in this great work, while allow
ing to run undiminished the enormous
pensions Of former government officials,
is most disquieting. George Iansbury,
speaking of these pensions in the London
Herald, says:
Ex-Lord Chancellors all take their
5000 pounds a year. Dear old Lord
Halsbury, who in nine years has drawn
a total of $4,000 pounds as pension, still
continues to economic by taking 5000
pounds year as a reward for about ten
years service at 10000 pounds year,
which means he has taken total OF
$4,000 for ten years work and nine
years rest. This kind of statement can
be multiplied many hundred times
over-retired judges, retired viceroys,
retired generals, and so on-which would
give us total running into millions a
year for expenses and allowances, every
penny OF which must in one form or
another be paid by labor and by labor
alone.
1t is to be hoped that protesting labor
will soon be able to make it's voice
heard. Patriotism is an admirable thing,
when accompanied by wisdom and a
sense of justice; but the man who is
called upon to lay down his life for his
country should see to it that the govern
ment that calls him is worthy of the
sacrifice. If such pensions as Mr.. Lans-
bury names were ever justifiable, they
certainly are not at a time when the
country is fighting for it's life. And to
continue such unreasonable expenditures,
while at the same time curtailing the
work that is being done in the interests
of the common people is altogether mex
cusable. It savors too much of the time
honored method of the tory bureaucrat
who gives his attention to stopping the
drip at the spigot, while permitting the
flow at the bung.-The Public.

quite comedies with our feeling for
New Ulm we reproduce it in full but are
unable to state who the author is, as the
writer OF this weeks Review is I'M
acquainted with the name signed. It is
quite possible that our readers will know
the party. We are quite sure he will
find welcome waiting for him if he
fulfls his promise Of coming back to New
Ulm for there is no other place that
welcomes the returning pilgrim as does
New Ulm.)
Dear Editor:
Here is little song that has been
ringing in my ears, and which expresses
a sentiment Of many who have left the
dear old burg. ! believe that it is in
keeping with the booster cheer that is
so contagious and beneficial to COM
munity and with which your paper has
glowed the past year.
Dear New Ulm, haven of peace
Mid the hills and wales,
Mid the rivers slowly winding
Mid the meads and dales.
Mid her people ever ready
Friends most good and true,
Sound their voices to a welcome
Most sincere to you.
Dear New >Ulm, how I love you
How I'm yearning to be there,
Where the friends so true are waiting
Who my joys and sorrows share.
You've stood by me, dear old homestead
While I've roamed this country through,
I've seen The spots of nature
Still my love is you.
I am coming, dear New Ulm
I'm coming back to you,
On your shrine to lay my service
Kindled loyalty anew.
When the silver cloud hangs Ger me
I most gratifed would be.
If knew of human service.
I have given thee.
Whate'er may be the voice of others
/ will raise toast to you,
You're the fairest of all cities
Grand old New Ulm true.
Yours, for the big boost,
Allen Old.

LET ALL THE PEOPLE SING.

Community singing was tried with
success in Cloquet this last summer.
The people Of Cloquet gathered in Pine
hurst Park, and, under proper direction,
sang old and familiar songs. According
to reports in the Pine Knot everybody
liked the plan.
If community singing is a good thing
in summer, why not in winter? The
school house, town hall, or some church
suggests itself as a suitable place.

present very unsatisfactory service and
united demand for immediate action in
improving the service.
The general complaint brought out at
the meeting of the patrons of the Nicollet
exchange, at which there was general
and vigorous protest, was as follows:
Negligence in the management; poor con-
dition Of switchboard, negligence in the
repairing of lines and keeping phones in
order; poor condition in night service;
cross talking or hearing several talking at
the same time and on different lines;
broken wires at road crossings owing to
the poles not being sufficiently high to
permit of the passage Of certain machinery
and loads on the public highway.
M. B. johnson of st. Peter, president of
the Telephone Co., stated that the COM
pany was putting forth every effort to
give service and that subscribers had
perfect right to demand it.
Mr.. Siebold of st. Peter, one of the di-
rectors, made similar statements. He
thought the trouble at central was not
with the switch board, but with the
wiring connecting with the outside
wiring, and that they had known it for
some time past. Motion was made and
carried that the patrons Of the Nicollet
telephone exchange demand new switch
board and wiring connections at the
earliest possible date.
G. C. Nelson Of New Sweden, stated
that there was no doubt but that the
patrons Of the Nicollet exchange had just
reasons for complaint, and that the best
way to eliminate trouble on the line was
to keep it in order. He thought the
management is somewhat slack and neg
ligent in this respect. Mr.. Nelson stated
that the law requires that poles at road

While the youngsters who had the
accident with the gun last Saturday
noon are unable to tell definitely who
was to blame, it doesn't seem so very

with them. What business have four

The moving picture director was hav-

right. The girl was supposed to resist
an attempt to kiss her, but the rehearsal
was far from satisfactory. "Think,

haven't you ever tried to stop a young
man from kissing you?" "No", was
the girls frank reply.
