DIRECT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.

The Catholic Register of Denver predicts that
the next step i'll progressive legislation will be the
abolition Of the electoral college.
Contrary to the histories we E'lcarned'' from in
school, the majority Of the members Of the conven-
ton drawing up the Federal Constitution, were not
unsefsh patriots.
According to the records of the Treasury de-
parme ut and records Of the Loan office of the states
Of Virginia and New York, Of the year 1884, men,
bers of the convention all held Continental State
"paper' and trading in it at the time the
convention was in session.
majority of the members favored property
qualifications for voters In speaking of the people
they invariably used the words rabble'' or *'mul-
titudes
In fact George Dickinson of Delaware frankly
stated that he considered the freeholders the safe
guardians of the country
Dickinson further said that he considered those
with property necessary defense against the
dangerous influence Of those multtudes without
property and principle with which country, like
all others, will in time abound.'
So it is not so strange that our country started
with distrust of the people.
The strange thing is that we are still running our
country the doctrines expounded by such men
as Dickinson!

A HOPEFUL SIGN.

The Baraca club of the First Methodist church
tricts were invited to tell about pending legislation.
Questions were put to the speakers. Everybody
was good natured and the meeting was one of the
most entertaining and instructive that have ever
attended.
The Methodist church of Duluth has shown the
way. We need more of this kind Of gettogethcr af-
fairs, The church, too, is taking view Of
healthful sign when one of our local churches
throws it's doors open to discussion such took
place last Tuesday night
Quite a number of local union labor men were
in attendance 1t has been difficult to induce union
men to come to church meetings in the past There s
reason.
Yes, the Methodist church has shown the way,
and The Labor World makes the prediction that if
it continues along these liberal lines it will be able
to induce union men to cross it's portals in increas
ing numbers

WANTED-A STRIKE,

Government by injunction, which, in the motor
1ous injunction issued by Judge Jenkins to restrain
employees of the Northern Pacific Railway company
from quitting their employment, reached the apex
OF judicial lnfamy, is being invoked by the railways
in an effort to prevent the executive department
OF the federal government from enforcing the pro-
Visions Of the Adamson act
The Jenkins I'M junction was set aside as in con-
prevention of the constitutional provision prohibit
ing involuntary servitude. It was issued at time
when the federal judge was clothed with sanctity
which made it impous to question the wisdom Of
his decisions or the integrity of his acts But since
then federal judges have been falling from their
high estate. Congress has shown a disposition to
1mpeach them The fate Of Archibald and Han
ford has not been lost upon the corporation lawyers
who have been placed upon the federal bench They
have come to realize that there limits to their
power, beyond which they cannot go without danger
to themselves
We have an idea that it will be difficult for the
railway managers to find federal judges to grant the
blanket injunctons for which they have petitioned
The Judge who undertakes to tie the hands of the
government may find himself in bad'' when con-
gress meets. Government by Injunction has never
been popular and should it be carried to such ex-

THE FREIGHT EMBARGO.

With the railways placing embargo upon
grain and coal shipments, owing to the unprece-
denied shortage, there is arising resentment
against the unpreparedness of American railways
that the interests that control them are finding it
difficult to abate.
Private ownership of railways never so dis
credited it is today. In the mobilization of the
national guard the Texas border, the nation
given object lesson in the inability of the
railways to serve their proper function in any in
telligent scheme of national Defense But in their
inability to handle the traffic, to carry the grain
from the fields to the elevators and from the eeva-
tors to the seaboard and to carry to the farms the
coal and needed supplies from the industrial Gen.
ters the railways making greater failure.
It is not that the railway managers have been
caught unaware At least 10 years ago, James j. Hill
pointed out that the railway development of the
United States failing to keep pace with the
growth Of population and industry and predicted
that within few years the lack Of equipment and
terminal facilities would prove disastrous to our
agricultural and industrial interests.
There is only one solution to the transportation
problem. The railways must be nationaized It
is fatuous for the American people to depend
upon Morgan Rockefeller and their associates to
perform this greatest of public functions as it was
for the American colonists to depend upon Capt.
Kidd to keep the coast clear of pirates.

AN APPEAL FROM TWO HARBORS.

An embargo foodstuffs will be given serious
consideration during the session of the congress just
begun. This is admitted on all sides. Whether
such measure be passed is, Of course, another
question.
Many large labor bodies have gone on record in
favor of an embargo and opinion is gaining ground
daily that shipments of foodstuffs and munitions
IF war must be stopped. This will tend to curtail
the activities of food spectators who have desire
to protect the people of America but who are after
The profits they squeeze out Of the present I'M
usual situation.
Our Two Harbors neighbors recently sent COM
m1nication to Congressman Miller calling for an
embargo on foodstuffs and wearing apparel Wheth-
er this appeal will have any effect on Mr.. Miller
only Mr.. Miller knows. The communication is as
follows
''The undersigned citizens of the United States,
residing in the city of Two Harbors Minnesota,
earnestly petition you to such influences as
you can command in congress to- place an embargo
upon foodstuffs and wearing apparel. Residing as
we do in an industrial town. the earnings do not keep
pace with the advance in everything we have to
buy and we simply cannot properly feed and clothe
our families under present conditions.''
Our informant tells us that nearly 80 per cent
Of the population of Two Harbors have signed the
petition.

WHITE Of MINERS
URGES SHORT DAY

CHRISTOPHER, Ill.,, Dec. S.-The
time has come for union labor to
seek a seven-h hour work day in the
opinion of John P. White, internal
tional president of the United Mine
Workers of America, who spoke today
before representatives of the eight
local miners, unions in this field. A
further reduction in the daily hours
of labor, he urged was among the
necessary reforms to be undertaken
as soon as possible.
Having established the eight-hour
day universally throughout the juris-
diction of our union" he said, I'VE
chan we'll afford to turn our attention
in the coming wage conferences to a
further reduction in the hours OF
labor, for in my opinion, such a. move
is necessary if we are to conserve the
economic and social welfare of our
vast mem bership.
This is made almost essential by
the increased use and introduction OF
machines. The records show that
there are more machines used in coal
mining than at any time in our his
tory. So widespread has become their
use that pick mining in many districts
has become q lost art.
This should result in an eight
hour day: from bank to bank or q
seven-hour day on the present basts.'

satisfactory and the pure clover en-
silage was found to be fully as salts
factory as the mixed corn and clover.
The results at the Ashland an dSpoon-
stations also corroborated the results
at Conrath. At Ashland rye and clover
made fair ensilage but much water
had to be used on account of the hol-
low stems in the rye. Timothy and
clover made very good ensilage and
proved one of the best combinations
since the timothy approaches corn in
composition and the stems are not
very hollow. The millet silage was
not satisfactory at Ashland-probably
because it was very immature at the
time it was put in the silo. Oats and
peas at Superior yielded nine tons per
acre and the cost of production was
about one-half that of corn. All these
grasses and legume crops for the silo
should be cut in the same manner as
corn, and plenty of water used so as
to make the ensilage pack we'll.
The up-to-date progressive live stock
raiser of necessity must make use of
the silo in which to preserve the ma
tural juices of our best forage plants
for use after pasturage is no longer
available.

Normal School Notes

continued from page /
GAINESVILLE, and Miss West at Wau-
paca.
Superintendent C. J. Brewer of
Chippewa, the supervisor Of training
for the new Normal school at Eau
Claire, was at River Falls Tuesday
He made study of the organizations
of the training department here.
M. D. Burgess, Is, is spending part
of his vacation at River Falls. Milo
will be remembered as the husky CEN
ter of the 1915 basket ball team. He
developed strong basket ball team in
his school at Menomonie Falls last
year.
Last week students were taught
how to tie knots with ropes. Over 600
feet of rope was purchased by the
school for students to practice with.
This week they are learning how to
splice broken ropes. This work is
open to all students who wish to join
classes on the campus.
The school days have been longer
this summer than in former years.
The Field Geography class met twice
each week at 80 a. m. during the hot
test weather. Several classes have
met at 7:15 a. m. throughout the sum-
mer. Glasses in manual training have
been working until 6 p. m. A number
of field excursions have extended until
dark.
The office has received letters from
more than thirty new students who
will enter the Senior class next fall.
The Junior class of last year num-
bered over 200. Of these only a few
will not return next fall. With the
added new students the class should
pass the 225 mark. During the next
five weeks many more new students
will write of their intentions to come
to River Falls. 1t is believed that the
school will exceed 700 next year.
Professor Arnold Kuenning, who
has been off for several months on
leave of absence, has returned to River
Falls much improved in health. He
will probably be strong enough to re-
sumo his work with the school in Sep
TENDER. To Mr.. Kuenning is largely
due the credit for laying the founda-
tions for the splendid courses in agri-
culture of our school. He came to
River Falls four years ago as the first
special teacher in the new school of
Agriculture.
Miss Effie Adams has resigned her
position here to become the head
the department of Home Economics
of the city schools of Kansas City,
Kansas. Efforts by the regents were
made to retain Miss Adams here, but
the new position had so many attrac-
tions that she could not refuse. Miss
Adams practical work in Domestic
Science here has attracted much at
tention outside of River Falls. Miss
Adams has won warm place in the
affection of both the students anc
faculty during her two years. stay at
River Falls. The school of Kansas
City is fortunate to get the services
of so talented and resourceful a teach
er.

OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS MAKE
GOOD

LII is a S1gnlncGnC IacL CnaC IN every
Wisconsin city where an Open-Air
school has been established, a second
one has followed within short time.
Oshkosh will open it's second school
in the fall. Milwaukee is erecting a
modern building on the crest Of hill
in one of the public parks, the two
class rooms and sleeping porch furn-
ishing accommodations for fifty pu-
pills. An open air room for south side
pupils will be opened in one of the grade
schools. Green Bay has had two
schools for the last twenty months,
Kenosha has two and Racine has two.
In every instance the experience has
been the same, remarkable improve
ment in the health and mental pro-
ficiency of the children. The attitude of
teachers, too, has changed, and where
it was at first difficult to secure a
teacher fer the Open Air room there
is now lively competition for the po-
sitions. Similar testimony comes
from other states.
"When / became fresh air teacher,
