James Manahan, former congress-
man at large from this state, and a
man of liberal views, in a speech at
Moorhead the other evening said of
Frank B. Kellogg: 81 have known Mr..
Kellogg for more than 30 years. We
were neighbors in the early SOS in
Olmsted county, but I do not sup
port him for this great office because
Of the reason of personal friendship.
I studied his record and his public
speeches long before he was candi-
date and ! found abundant proof in
every line that he was genuinely pro-
gressive and honestly ambitious Of
serving his fellow men who work.
His sympathies are right and he has
expressed himself earnestly and often
to the effect that it is his highest am
bition to do some good work for all
the people Of this state. believe in
him and I trust him, and 1 ask my
friends to help elect him for their
own best good" III '&.: 80 $ :

Congressman Schall.

Congressman Schall, in common
with all other intelligent and patriotic
Minnesotans, entertains high regard
for grand old Knute Nelson. Enemies
of Mr.. Schall are working overtime to
make it appear that Senator Nelson
is opposed to his reelection. The
voters would do we'll to remember
that allowances must be made for
what purports to be "authorized state
ments" on the eve of election. We
know positively that Mr.. Schall has
none but the friendliest feelings for
Senator Nelson. The Union is friend
ly to both Senator Nelson and Con-
gresham Schall and believes there is
room in congress for both of them.

ROOSEVELT AT BATTLE CREEK.

ROOSEVELT AT BATTLE CREEK.
Ex-President Roosevelt delivered a
great speech to an immense audience
at Battle Creek, Mich, last Saturday.
Mr.. Roosevelt was severe in his de-
nunciation of President Wilson, and
in concluding his powerful address he
said:
81 appeal to my fellow citizens. that
they shall elect Mr.. Hughes and re-
pudiate Mr.. Wilson because only by
so doing can they save America
from that faint of gross selfshness
and cowardice which we owe to Mr..
Wilson's substitution of adroit elocu-
ton for straightforward action.
**Our own self respect demands that
we support the man of deeds done in
the open against the man Of furtive
and shifting political maneuvers; the
man of service against the man who
whenever opposed by a dangerous foe
always takes refuge in empty elocu-
ton.
"There is nothing that we Of this
country so much need as to practice
the doctrine of service. AS a people
we need the Steiner virtues even more
than we need the softer virtues. Ma
terial prosperity, bodily ease, money,
pleasure, are all desirable; but woe to
US if we consider them to be all and
end all Of our private lives or Of our
collective national life! Woe to us if
our material prosperity brings in it's
wake lethargy Of spirit and sadness
of soul! Let us in our lives apply the
great doctrine Of duty and of service.
Above all let us realize that lofty pro-
fession is a mischievous sham when it
is not translated into efficient per-
formance. Among the companions Of
Lucifer in Millions mighty epic there
was none among the fercer fiends so
dangerous as he who .,.,..

President Wilson cannot be accused
of lack of courage in replying to an
insulting telegram sent him by the
blatant jeremiah A. OLeary, of New
York, president of the so-called Amer
lean Truth society, accusing him of
being pro-British. The presidents
answer was brief and pointed. Here
it is: "Your telegram received. I
would feel deeply mortified to have
you or anybody like you vote for me.
Since you have access to many dis
loyal Americans and I have not, will
ask you to convey this message to
them" There is nothing equivocal or
vacillating in the presidents spirited
reply. ~

There ought to be no question of
the reelection of Charles H. Warner
to the house from Aitkin county. Ait
kin county never had a more capable
representative in either branch of the
state legislature than Mr. Warner.
If he is returned, as he undoubtedly
will be, his chances Of becoming speak
er are excellent. He has the ability
and the nerve to make a model pre-
siding officer. If he is chosen speaker
every member will be accorded a
square deal, and business will be trans
acted with neatness and dispatch.

A Duluth district court i,1rv ha 9

| A Duluth district court jury has de-
Icided that a saloon keeper must pay a
citizen of that city $1,700 for injuries
he received last winter when he was
set upon by a drink-crazed man, who,
it is alleged had procured the liquor

probabilities are that the practice of

The Glow Down."

Every newspaper man knows that
there is Glow down''-that is to
say, substratum Of unpublished
truth-back Of almost every. bit of
news. Every politician knows that
the truth about politics never gets
into the speeches, and that candi-
date never makes speech that he
does not tell good many lies. There
are some conventional lies, about poll
tics and other matters, that the public
knows are lies, and yet accepts in
preference to the truth. The truth is
too strong a drink-frequently it
would choke us. We like it diluted.
We like to believe that we live in a
more orderly world than really exists.

A SURPRISING APPEAL

In an appeal to the voters Of Meeker
county, Hon. Magnus Johnson, who
isssa candidate for reelection to the
house, has this to say:
I favor a change in our road laws
that will invest more power and re-
sponsibility in our county and town
boards. I'believe that the state high
way commission has too. much
power under our present statutes,
and that too much of our money
raised for road work goes to en-
gineering and other expenses under
the commission. In my travels
through the state I find a strong SEN
timent for change in our road laws
IN this respect.
We are at loss to know just what
Mr.. johnson means. Under the law
as it is the town boards have complete
control of all town and county roads
within their respective towns; the
state highway commission exercises no
jurisdiction whatever over town roads
or the expenditure of town money
thereon. Previous to the last session
of the legislature there was a section
in the road law which provided that
final payment could not be made on
contract for town or county road work
where the amount involved in the con-
tract exceeded $780,, until the assis-
tant state engineer had examined the
work and certified that the same had
been properly done and performed &C.
cording to the contract. That was a
wise provision and to a certain extent
prevented jobbery and safe-guarded
the interests Of the taxpayers. But
that section was practically repealed
by the 1915 legislature.
The county commissioners have the
sole authority to designate the state
roads within their respective counties
whereon the state money shall be ex-
pended. The only power vested in the
state highway commission is in the
designation Of state highways, and
then it is provided that any county
board may, with the consent Of the
highway commission, designate state
The county board must first
act, and in ninety mine cases out Of
one hundred the highway commission
approves of the recommendation of
the county board with reference to the
establishment of state highway. Of
course it is made the duty of the state
highway commission to see to it,
through its assistant highway engin-
GERS, that the work Of constructing or
state highways is properly
DONE
Mr.. johnson is man of more than
intelligence and was use
full member Of the last legislature, and
we are surprised that he should make
such a demagogic appeal to the voters
Of Meeker county. He certainly I'M
derrates the intelligence: Of his con
stituents. -,

ing magazine, who admits that he

brand of gall by suggesting that laws

chase or lease a duck pass practically
a monopoly on duck hunting. Can you
