EARLY Closing Of Polls

Durind the week following the recent
election, majority of the newspapers
in the state, judging from our own ex-
changes, made a plea for change in
the election law, causing the polls to
close from two to three hours earlier in
the evening. The editorials were ev-
identity inspired by the fact that most
of the writer's had been detained up a
greater part of the night in an attempt
to get something satisfactory on which
to base their election reports for the
following day.
BY the time the legislature convenes
next January it is quite likely most OF
the editors will have forgotten their
feelings when they started the crusade
By the same token all Of the legislatures
will probably have forgotten that any
thing had been said about it.
Lest they forget, it is to be hoped
2the press of Minnesota will repeat the
agitation frequently enough during the
session to convince the lawmakers
that the present plan is not bit popular

limited Stotes Might Stop War.

A six weeks armistice could be OBJ
tanned in the European war if President
Wilson would but ask it, distinguished
diplomat representing neutral Euro
pean nation has told Washington news
paper man. The diplomat says farther
that if the armistice should be declared
there would be no more fighting, for it
would never be resumed.
The newspaper man declares that there
is a growing demand for the President to
make move, and he is now considering
the feasibility of seeking the desired
ar1nistice, but that England and France
are opposed to the American executive
taking any hand in the matter. Thus
he hesitates.
''If the President should receive the
slightest hint from responsible official
sources that such move would be well
come from one or more of the allies, Mr..
Wilson would propose an armistice, if
not the exchange of actual peace over
tures,' says this newspaper man. GAS
the matter stands now, however, he is
not disposed to make any advances that
would provoke rebuff from either
party to the great quarrel"

Coal Worry Unnecessary


/ The statement made week ago by
the head of big Minneapolis coal COM
pany, that. there is plenty of coal for
Northwest consumers, was reiterated
Monday, and that to worry for fear of a
shortage is the height Of foolishness.
w. w. Broughton, president of the
Pittsburgh Coal Company, is authority
for the statement that I 900 cars of coal
are being loaded at Duluth daily for the
Twin Cities and Northwestern points.
MIR. Broughton denied statement made
at a mass meeting the night before, in
Minneapolis, that cars OF coal were being
held in the yards, marked .''hold", for
higher prices. He declared that such
tactics could not be, carried out, 4 be-
cause the railroads would not stand; for
it. S. r: "s;.:::%.': :..sa
The situation has been somewhat re-
lieved by the mild weather OF the past
few days, by reducing the amount con-
sumed. ..
Coal dealers in the Twin Cities and
at the Head Of the: Lakes declare that if
the people will have alittle patience there
will be plenty of coal for everybody.

HOLDING BOYS BACK

One of the earliest lessons that should
be instilled into a boys mind is self-de-
pendence. AS soon as the young of the
lower animals are able to forage for
themselves, their maternal parents cut
them adrift to get their own living and
the example of the fowls of the air and
the beasts of the field in this instance
as in some others, is wholesomely sug-
gestive. Boys are often kept too long
out of the world of action that, as men,
they are intended to hustle in. They
are ''coddled" too much especially by
their mothers.
One can hardly blame mother for
wishing to keep her young hopeful tied
to her apron strings as long as possible.
Her desire to retain him by her side
ariess from one Of the most admirable
| traits in the maternal character. It is
so beautifully in accord with her tender
nature that, because of her dread of the
effect of the worlds temptation upon
the mind of her darling, one cannot
help loving her the better for her solicit
tude.
But boys should not be dry-nursed too
long. It detracts from their manliness
and makes milksops of them. When
a mother has done her duty by imbuing
the mind of her son with sound religious

CONDITIONS AFTER THE WAR.

If the war in Europe, at its present
rate, continues till one side or the other is
whipped, it will last a long time.
If, when neutral steps in to rescue
Europe from itself, both sides eagerl,
accept the proffered aid, the war ma,
come to an end suddenly.
What is going to happen to business
and industry in this country after the
war is over?
During the recent Campaign partisans
of the opposition declared that unless
their candidate was elected the wa,
would be followed by collapse; but that
was campaign fustian and nothing more
The fact is that nobody knows what
will come after the war. The authorities
are merely specializing, and they dis.
agree. Prosperity may continue un-
interruptedly. There may be tenn
porary halt while the world adjusts itself
to the new conditions, as there was while
the world was struggling to adjust itself
to war. Europe has destroyed much,
and it's need of rebuilding may bring a
new demand that will stimulate industry
along more substantial lines than those
created by war orders. :<
The wise man will remain hopeful, but
will prepare for all possible contingencies.
Then, whatever happens, he will be ready
for it,. Because money is plentiful he will
not spend all he can get, but will keep a
part as a. bulwark against the industrial
shock of peace. Even tho he is
confident that; the end of war will not
be the end of prosperity, he will always
keep in mind the possibility that the
end of war may be a. temporary inter
ruption. of prosperity; and out of his
abundance of today he will save some
thing to tide him over.
There is no occasion for sounding an
alarm. There IS occasion for: rejecting
that the coming of peace will bring great
change, that nobody knows certainly
what that change may portend, and that
the part of wisdom is to be prepared for
whatever may follow the war.
The very fact that people do so reflect,
and that they govern themselves ac-
cordingly, will greatly lessen whatever
shock may attend the restoration of the
world to a basis of peace.-Dulutb

AND SWEETHEART

A Hennepin county boy forged check
because, he said he wanted an automobile
to take his sweetheart riding.
.'The other fellows had automobiles
and l had to have one or lose out with the
GIRL" he told Judge Daniel Fish.
Recently young man in Virginia
Tilted his sweetheart on the eve of his
wedding day because he wished to buy
an automobile and did not have money
enuf both for that and to support a
wife in the way he felt she should be
supported.
Here are two phases of the same
social-economic problem. One young
man tried to solve the problem by COM
hitting felony, being tempted by the
standard set by other boys who were his
presumed rivals.
The Virginian, feeling he could not
have both car and wife, chose the car and
broke sacred promise. He decided
doubtless, after observing the standards
of married life about him. The choice
is less to be condemned than the, boy
The girl involved is lucky, whatever may
be her present feelings about the jilting
The boy disclosed that he hasn't in hin
the stuff of which first rate husbands
are made.
Both boys betrayed distorted notion:
for which neither, perhaps, was wholly
to blame. They set too little store or
real values and too much on relativ,
values. They showed a lack of ap
probation of the breadth and depth O
sure-enough girl love. False socia
standards helped them to blunder. II
due time they will learn that genuine
heart affection does not hang on any
thing so accidental as the ownership O
an automobile. True love does not blow
up with a tire or vanish with the fore
closing Of a chattel mortgage. Mime

Mdy Reduce Letter Postage, Rate

- The announcement comes from Wash.
, ington that a movement for the read.
justment Of postage will be Launched
at once, and vigorously pushed during
the coming session of Congress.
The circular letter sent out by the
committee having the campaign in
charge, intimates that while the prime
object of the movement is to reduce
the rate of letter postage, that OF second
class matter may be readjusted,. and
placed on zone basis, similar to that
in vogue in the parcels post department.
Any plan that would tend to raise the
rates on newspapers would injure the
public far more than they would be
benefited by reduction in letter
postage, for the reason that any per-
ceptable raise would necessitate further
raising Of subscription prices. With
the rapidly advancing price of paper
and printing material the newspapers
now have about as large a burden as
they can comfortably carry.
The promoters, however, argue that
the present plan, which was inaugurated
some forty years ago, acts as a dis
elimination against the newspaper pub
fishers in favor of the big metropolitan
magazines.
Chairman Moon of the House Posta
Committee, is quoted as favoring settl.
ing the rate on second class mail matter
at the coming season, and Senator Moses
E. Clapp of Minnesota, says legislation
creating postage rate Of l cent on loca
delivery letters should be enacted with
out further delay.
''In view Of the nervous condition O
business throughout the country
Senator Clapp declares, II believe tn,
reduction of the local letter rate from
2 cents to l cent would serve a yer,
valuable purpose by stimulating tn
commercial situation to a more salts
factory level.''
Congressman Stafford of Wisconsin
and Congressman Royal C. johnson
of South Dakota, both favor reduc
ton of letter postage.
1t is hoped that letter postage will b
reduced to cent, but not at the expens
OF the newspapers.

Is 1t Logical?

Most of the country newspapers are
industriously bewailing the greatly adj
vanced prices of news print paper, and
obviously forgetting what has happened
to other supplies that help to swell the
country newspaperman's monthly stock
bill. There is no doubt but that in
f1uence of the country press has been
largely responsible for the investigation
of the news print paper industry, now
being under way by a committee of
Congress.
But why confine the bowling to the
high cost Of the paper upon which your
newspaper is printed? Every grade of
paper used in the job department of
the country man has advanced in price,
with evidently as little excuse for it, as
has news print, but we don't hear a
word about that.
1t looks very much as though the
country boys had taken their cue from
the city publishers, few if any of whom
now have job departments connected
with their establishment, and are trying
to help them out more than themselves.
This is, indeed true Christian spirit,
but while this investigation stunt is
being pulled off, why not get the city
chaps to give their country brothers a
lift and induce the congressman to ex-
tend the inquiry to include all grades OF
paper?
1t would be only fair.

men is shown in the fact that they
spent many thousands of dollars in
advertising in the daily city papers.
The first reports received from the cities
in many instances were all over turned
as soon as the reports from the country
we're received. This will teach them a
good lesson. M ou1otdi7a Lake View.
It is announced from St. Paul that the
farmers connected with the American
Society of Equity will join hands with
the labor unions to fight the high cost
of living. It is presumed by this they
will begin by insisting on reduction of
the price of wheat, butter, milk and other
farm products. It hasn't however,

Entered as Second: Glass Matter at the Post
office at New Ulm. Minnesota.

The youngsters are beginning to get
anxious to know if they are going to
have a skating pond this year. Some
OF them have suggested that if one is
provided that it be sufficiently flooded
to make the skating what it should be-.
There is said to have been considerable
fault found in this respect in the past.
Nearly every town, even much smaller
than New Ulm, furnishes its boys and
girls with a suitable skating place.. free
from danger. and it is not likely that
this city will be lacking in that respect.

If there is any reason why the women
CT the thirty-six states in which women
have not been accorded the right Of
suffrage, should not be elevated to the
same dignity of those of the twelve
states where they have been given that
right, it has not been made apparent.
There may also be some valid reason
why it should not be made national
affair and give the women Of every state
the same privilege, and if so, that has
not been stated. Some statesmen have
given it as their opinion that it is a
question for each state to solve for them
selves, but if they have given an adequate
reason, they have not made it apparent.
Simply because President, a Vice Presi-
dent, Cabinet Member, Senator or a
Congressman thinks it is so, it doesn't
make it so. Their private opinion is no
better than that of any other citizen of
these United States. :.
All of the political parties have an
nounced equal suffrage as an article of
faith; now it is up to them to
make their campaign promises good.
There is no reason why any political
party should attempt to delay the
question.

says:
