for "preparedness?"

IOE preparedness.
Men do not go about the country
paying their own expenses, speaking,
lecturing and forming security
Leagues out of pure patriotism. It
is not right that they should have to,
if the idea is sound. It is an outrage
that they should be allowed to, if the
idea is not sound.
Duluth entertained one of these
itinerant, violent patriots this week,
and about twenty of our richest and
most influential citizens met him, or
ganized a Security League, contribut-
I'D some $500 toward his expenses,
and were left with the job of "arous-
ing" this particular section of the
country to it's danger"
The greatest danger to this coun-
try Is not that one of the financially
bankrupt, physically crippled, moral
ly exhausted survivors of this Euro.
pean conflict is going to attack her,
and come across the ocean to do it;
not that our navy, which has sud-
denly wilted away to nothing at all
in the eyes of the preparedness ad-
vocates," will be inadequate to defend
us from attack; not that the hun
dreds of munitions plants now oper-
ating in this country will be unable to
turn out sufficient supplies of murder
utensils: but the real danger is that
this ccuLtry will be called upon to
supply the market for the millions of
dollars worth of wholesale and retail
murder tools, when Europe gets sick
of buying them. Machinery for max
iEg war munitions is expensive.
e.
lions of dollars worth of it on their
hands. 1t will be largely useless when
the feverish demand from Europe
ceases, unless-unless this country
decides to prepare-not for war, oh
horrors no-for defense"
Of course If Canada becomes alarm
ed by our feverish preparations, and
decides that we are likely to attack
her, and that she had better prepare
for defense" then we will have to
let out another link and make little
bigger preparations. Nothing would
adequately defend this country, but a
navy bigger than all of Europe's com.
bined, and an army equal to any that
might be sent to these shores by all
the countries of Europe. What Para.
disc for the munition manufacturer
that would make of America, and
what He'll for the working man who
| would have to ultimately pay for the
militarist lingo and his whole propa'
ganda.
There is one point on which the lab
oring man must insist: If it is finally
decided that this country needs more
adequate protection, then the govern
ment itself must manufacture the
munitions and build the ships.-W. E.
| McEwen in Duluth Labor World.

Settled For All Time.


On Saturday last, N. Y. Taylor, w.
H. Greenleaf, Ed. Doll and D. H. Duck
ering drove to the town of Ellsworth,
and taking Jas. Fallon with them
went to the spot where Mr.. Lamson
killed the noted chief Little Crow and
marked the spot with an iron stake.
Messrs. Taylor, Greenleaf and Fall
Ion were all familiar with the loca-
ton and had no trouble in locating
the exact spot, where the historic
event took place. A quarter of a
century ago Mr.. Lamson went over
the ground with Mr.. Taylor, and at
that time he made witness marks
which were easily identified by the
party above mentioned and corrober-
ated by Messrs. Fallon and Greenleaf
Mr.. Taylor will make a plot of the
immediate surroundings and it will
be sent to the State Historical Soci-
ETY. to quiet any dispute that may arise
after the last living witness has pass
ed away Litchfeld News-Ledger.

Much of the hue and cry about the
danger to this country from the con-
tinued use of hyphenated words in or.
der to designate various groups of
our citizens smacks of old time Know
Nothingism. The hyphenated word
ordinarily simply indicates the ances-
try of the American in question. When
a foreigner comes to this country, re.
nOunces his allegiance to any foreign
potentate, particularly the sovereign
of the country from whence he came,
and becomes naturalized citizen of
the United States, he has cut off his
political connection as effectively as
can be done. And to the average i'm
migrant, especially from Northern Eu-
rope his oath is very solemn thing
indeed. If he does not become a citi-
zen he cannot claim to be an Ameri-
can at all, hyphenated or otherwise.
This applies whether he speaks the
English language or not. When have
the naturalized Scandinavian-Ameri-
cans, German-Americans, Irish-Amer-
leans, Observation-Disclosures, ct
al, as a class, been amiss in their
duties to their adopted country
What difference does it make wheth.
er your ancestors came over in the
Mayflower, the Half Moon, Kalmar
.+Nyckel, or on a ship Of the Cunard
Line? Without the so-called hyphen.
&ted Americans, the natives would be
ii mighty lonesome. This State was
developed largely by immigrants, and
Minnesota refuses to take a back
seat for any state in the Union in the
quality of it's citizenship. None of it's
citizens are less loyal to their own
country because they refuse to be
ashamed of their ancestry and their
inherited language and culture. Min
nesota's public schools are rated
among the best in the land, and its
sons and daughters hold their own
with any other natives in all lines OF
human endeavor, even If some of the11
are able to speak their mother tongue
10 we'll as the English. OF all the
dangers threatening this country, real
@or imaginary, the least of all is this
= senseless charge of disloyalty of by
phenated Americans.

Another Bio Ditch.

The engineer has filed his report on
the big judicial ditch running thru
Kandiyohi and Meeker counties. It
starts up near the head of the South
Grow river and runs down thru the
town of Cosmos. His estimate calls
for the expenditure of about 500, 900,
outside of the cost of construction CT

said ditch expires Nov. 18th, after
