Long Prairie Leader: The press of
the state has with remarkable unanim-
ity and spontaneitv criticised the State
University authorities for lending their
influence in conference to maintaining
the present unfair and unjust defni-
ton of an amateur athlete. Baseball
is one Of the cleanest and most whole
some Of sports and is the means Of fur
nishing highly desirable entertainment
in cities and villages during the sum-
pmer months. There is demand for
the college player because with few il
any exceptions he is a high grade young
mana credit to his team and to the
town where he plays. The unreason-
able college rule when prevents his
playing during summer months imposes
a financial hardship on him when in
many cases is serious even to the point
of preventing a college course, and It
is unfair to Minnesota towns which are
deprived~in an unwarranted way by
the rule of his playing services. The
press Of the state should keep up the
agitation until the University authori-
ties use their influence to bring about
a change in the rule. =

Join Body at Next Meeting, to Unity
Action, Is Plan-Purpose 10 to
Strike Combined Sledae-
Hammer Blows.

Paris, NOV. lS.-Ihe French and
British fighting forces have been made
virtually one.
Hitherto, though allied, they have
fought more or less independently.
Henceforward they will be guided
from single source-the inter-Allies
war council.
Russia and Italy will join the COM
bination as speedily as possible.
Arrangement Perfected.
The French-British arrangement has
just been perfected. President at this
first council were Premier H. H. AS
Quith, Minister of Munitions David
Lloyd-George, First Lord Of the Admir-
atty Arthur Balfour and Foreign Sec
rotary Sir Edward Grey of England,
and Premier BRAND, War Minister
Gallieni, Minister of Marine Lacaze
and General Joffre of France.
The British group included three of
the five members of the British inner
war council of the cabinet.
The French officials represented, as
nearly as the ministry's personnel per-
mitted, the corresponding French
posts.
To Hold Subsequent Meetings.
The conference began early Wednes-
day. It was understood it's work was
completed, so far as the coordination
of the British and French armies
work is concerned There must be
subsequent meetings to deal with fresh
situations as they arise and new poll
cies as they become necessary.
Adjournment was taken subject to
call.
The next meeting, it is understood,
will take the Russian and Italian rep
resentatives into the joint body.
No official statement was issued, but
it Is known broadly what the confer
ence was for and evidently accom-
plished before adjournment.
Considered az Separate Unite.
Despite the fact that General Joffre
has been recognized as commanderin-
chief OF the Allies forces in the west,
not only the English and French, but
also the Belgian armies have been han
died to considerable extent as sep
arate units.
The Russians have had still less ap-
probation of the momentary necessi-
ties of their Allies. The Allies have
hardly co-operated at all.
The purpose Of the joint war coun-
Gil is to handle all four armies as one,
to strike with them combined sladge-
hammer blows; with fourfold the force
It is possible to strike with them sep
arately.

There is surely something very WI" ng
with our system Of distribution OF farm
products in this great country Of ours.
A letter from the east tells us that a
relative, who had an 5000 bushel peach
crop on his place this summer, got
hardly enough to pay for the boxes and
hauling Of the crop to market. In Col
ier's Magazine Of last week, we note
a photograph of 1000 bushels of peach
es in pile, raised on a farm in Okla
homa, which were allowed to rot be-
cause there was no market for them.
All this time peaches right here we4>

waste this summer, when there were
thousands Of people who would like to
have them at a fair price, if there was
any way TO get them distributed about
the country, so that the producer could
get enough to pay him for his work.
We're a great nation in some ways.

SUBJECT OF PROPERTY OF

SPARK OF LIFE CAuSEa
DISCUSSION.
WOULD BE A HOPELESS
CRIPPLE IF 1T GREW UP
Doctor Haiseiden, Who Condemned
Infant to Death, Declares It Would
Have Been Moral Wrong to A.
low 1t to Live-Authorities
Making Investigation.

CnlcagO, NOV. IL. - The BOllinge
baby, a defective mite, whose mother
on professional advice, decided it
should not undergo an operation which
probably would save it's life, died after
lowering between life and death at the
German-American hospital during the
day.
The subject Of the propriety of sac
r1icing the unpromising spark of life
In the infant, that it might not grow
up burden to itself and a possible
menace to society, has developed wide
spread discussion. DR.. H. J. Haisel-
den, on whose advice the mother act
ed, was visited by many medical men,
and telephone calls alternately accused
and praised him. He remained unal-
tered in his conviction that death was
the greatest blessing which could be,
hoped for the infant.
Many Physical Deforn,itiee.
The physical deformities of the baby
consisted of the Enclosure of the in
testinal tract, paralysis Of the nerves
OF the right side of the face, the alb
sence of the right ear, blindness of one
eye and malformation of it's shoulders.
Doctor Haiselden, who effEiated at the
birth, noted the absence Of a neck.
The brain he found to be only slightly
subnormal, but the cranial nerves were
absent or undeveloped
If it grew up he would be hope
less cripple and would suffer from
flts," said the doctor.
would his mind be clear? Would
his soul be normally alive?" one of the
visitors asked.
THAT l do not know, but the
chances are against it,"
Defective Who BECAME Murderer.
The questioner cited the case of
Roswell Smith, supposedly harmless
defective who, after reaching the adult
stage, killed little Hazel Weinstock for
which he was hanged
Another visitor remarked that Eye
dor Dostoevsky, born a detective who
gambled and had epileptic fits, devel-
oped into great novelist and one Of
the greatest psychologists in Europe.
Most of the visitors treated the baby
which lay in a little bundle in a pri-
vate room, as if it we're uncanny. Doc
tor Haiselden, who condemned it to
death alone treated it like a human
being. He looked into the little twist.
ed face and patted it's cheeks.
"Wrong to Let It Live.
HE will be dead before the night
is over" he said. ut would be a.
moral wrong" he continued, ito al.
low it to live. It seems to me that a.
city which allows a black-hand out
rage week, thousand illegal opera
tons day and an automobile acct
dent every round of the clock, is hard
ly in position to criticize man who
holds that death is preferable to life
to defective"
The authorities took no further &C.
ton than to see that no death notice
should be issued until after an investi-
cation by the coroner.

The twin city papers are guessing a
good deal on what the democrats are
going to do about delegates to the ma
tional convention, whether there is 60
ing to be fuss, etc. That throughout
the state there are elements which may
be explosive under certain conditions
no one will deny, but whether it will
be considered worth while is another
matter. Many who have seen their Ia
bors and sacrifices for years repaid by
being turned over to the gentle mercy
of an element which arrogates to it.
self all recognition, will probably not
enthuse over much. However, circum-
stances may change very quickly, and
it may be considered wise to make one
more attempt for square deal all
around. If anything is to be done, it
must be done in Minnesota. It is fu-
tile to expect Washington to recognize
anything but the situation it finds.
There are in this state, as everyone
who has looked into the matter at all
knows, things in regard to democratic
national politics entirely unlocked for
and which have never before been
present. These may make a great diff
ference in many. ways.

There should be plank in the Gem
ocratic national platform in favor Of
the government making all it's own mu-
nitions. If munitions are so important
to the life Of the nation, their manu-
facture should be as much matter of
government concern as the coming of
money. The government could take
81 er the private plants, if necessary,
or build new, and let the private plants
make things that preserve, and not de-
stroy. If the country is to embark on
policy which means spending hum
drc,ls of millions of taxes for arma-
ment, let us have it done by the gov
eminent and keen the profits There
is this also in favor Of government
plants-that there would be no owners
of private plants to influence legisla-
ton for larger expenditures, and
repetition of the disgraceful methods
by which large manufacturers have in
fuenced tariff legislation.
