But the peace-at-any- price advocates, by
their preachments, tend to increase inter-
national dangers. Let the greedy nations OF
the world once be given to understand that the
American people will not fight, and it is as
certain as be anything lying in the future
that wrongs and outrages will be so multiplied
as to force us into a conflict.

Under the provisions Of measure
introduced in congress by Representa-
tive Smith of Minneapolis postmasters
are obliged to furnish to anyone who
may desire the information list Of
names of the subscribers to papers and
periodicals circulating through any
postoffice. His excuse for introducing
this bill is that certain business men
desire it so they can secure a list of
names, but it is very evident that a
motive more sinister than that is re-
sponsible for it's introduction. Anyway,
it is damnable attempt to encroach
upon the chief asset of newspapers
and should be nipped in the bud.

AS It Should Be.

The following article is taken from
the editorial columns Of Sam Cor
don's Browns Valley Tribune, and we
heartily approve Of the sentiments
therein expressed:
"In the school house at >Belleville,
Wis.,, few evenings ago, upon motion
of the Catholic priest, the Methodist
minister was elected president of the
community's social center.
"Then three basket ball teams were
formed, including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, a
farmer, the keeper of the village res
taurant, dentist, clothier, team
ster, a druggist, a garage owner, a
banker, the saloonkeeper, a hardware
merchant and housepainter.
':They differed in religion, in poll
tics, in income, in social status about
as widely as men can differ But in
the common school building, in the
free democracy Of the social center,
they agreed to lay aside their differ
ences for the novel purpose Of discov-
ering how much good fellowship there
was in meeting together, now and
then, as equals, as brothers. g.. =
"In the democracy Of play, in the
democracy of frank, fair discussion Of
public questions, they are finding out,
these differing men of Belleville, that,
as human beings, they are amazingly
alike, once you get below the surface.
"And out of this agreeable discov-
cry will come, for. Belleville, more
tolerance, more kindliness of feeling,
more give and take than it had ever
known before Even when they, shall
differ again-as, Of course they often
will it won't be with as much bitter
ness, as much bigotry, as much mean
hate as of yore.

Would be Ably Represented.

Some of the leading papers of the
state, like Bob Dunn's Princeton I'm
ion and Alvah Eastman's st. Cloud
Journal-Press, insist that Frank B.
Kellogg shall be the successor of Mos
es E. Clapp as senator. They hold that
Mr.. Kellogg's recent statement that
he will not enter into scramble for
the office. is no bar to his election, but
rather proof of his fitness, and they
want the people to take his candidacy
into their own hands. All that he
needs to do is to file and take up the
duties Of the Office after his election.

There are ten candidates for dele
gates to the republican national con-
vention from the Tenth congressional
district and only two can be elected,
and we hope Henry Rines Of Mora and
William Henry Eustis of Minneapolis
will be the successful ones. Mr.. Rines
is the only candidate from the rural
counties of the Tenth district. Mr..
Rines can be trusted to faithfully car
ry out the wishes of his constituents.
There ought to be no question of his
election. Rines and Eustis are all
right.

America has not given the importan1

America has not given the important
matter of road building the considera-
ton it merits heretofore, but now that
it seems probable that federal aid will
be extended to the work additional i'm
petus will be given the movement.
There is nothing that would benefit the
people more than good roads. They
will increase the value of farm lands,
thus adding to the national wealth,
cheaper the cost of transportation of
products from farm to market, and add
to the joy of living. Another fact that
should not be lost sight of is that good
roads are an important factor in a
comprehensive program of military
preparedness. In this connection the
following excerpt from a recent edi-
torial in the Minneapolis Daily News
is timely and to the point:
The European war has demonstrated the SUI
periority of automobile transportation for men,
munitions and supplies over any other method
even rail transportation. They are more mobile
and not confined to a certain fixed route. They
are less expensive to operate and maintain In
fact, they are as indispensable part of an
army of today as are cannon. But without
highways they are worthless to large tex-
tent. And S25 OQ0, 900 spent on highways would
be one twenty five million we'll invested if war
never came to us. Don't lose sight of the
national highways bill. 1t provides something
as valuable in peace as in war. :.

In the following language "Cyclone'
Davis, the picturesque and somewhat
radical Texas congressman, sets right
those misguided individuals who con-
tinually are bemoaning the fact that
cussedness and iniquity is on the in
crease in this world:
1 am not a croaker nor pessimist, be-
lieve the world is rapidly advancing. Our
material, mental, and moral progress is won
derful. Many persons grow gloomy over what
they call the increase of crime and the decay
Of our race. This is fallacy.. They fail to
consider that modern means of communica-
ton and information make it possible to see
the misdeeds of the whole world yesterday
portrayed in print to-day. It is not news to
tell US that 90,00O,00o Of people in this coun-
try behaved themsevs yesterday, but it is
news to tell us of few hundred who misbe-
haved. 1t is the abnormal, unnatural, or
extra conduct of we read of. When I
contrast the material progress of man, think
of Abraham sending message across the
plains of Judea "jack,' racking off 6
miles an hour their rapid transit and of
Ahimaaz running foot to report the cap
| tlire of Absalom to David, and then think of
the fact that at small cost we can touch a
keyboard and shoot message around the
world before Lot could have gotten courier
back to Sodom to tell Of his wife's collapse
into dome of salt. When I want to contrast
our moral advancement, I think of st. John
two decades after Chrsts crucifxion stand
ing in exile on the isle of Patmos, a criminal
under Roman law for preaching the glorious
gospel of risen Redeemer. The last living
member of Christ's apostles; all the rest had
lost their heads or had been cruelty slain by
orders of government.

The clamor for Frank B. Kel-

S. senator will not down. 1t is
like the persistent encore for a
favorite speaker or singer-there
is an occasional lull, followed by a
greater and more determined out;
burst of enthusiasm which will
only subside when the demand of
the audience is granted. So
with the present senatorial stu

becoming more and more the pop

of the present senator are
brought to the fore by almost his
every word and action. The peo-

to allow them an opportunity to
vote for him-Hon. S. A. Langum

Wireless messages are being receiv-

Villa on the city of Chihuahua was
a success and that he carried off
large quantities of ammunition,
many guns and also deserving Car
rama soldiers seems to be gaining
ground. There is much criticism of
General Trevino for not making ade-

when his coming to Chihuahua had
