COMMISSION ACTIVE In
MODELLING MINNESOTA
County Directors Meet with Commits.
sion and Report on What Min
nesota Is Doing

County Director R. M. Adams at
tended the meeting Of the Public
Safety Commission last week, where
note. 1t was a remarkable gather
ing, attended by all but seven of the
eighty-six men who are responsible,
so far as their individual counties
are concerned, for seeing that Min
nesota does its full duty in all the
activities relating to the war.
All morning the members of the
Commission told what must be done
to mobilize all the resources of Min
nesota so that every man, woman
and child in the state shall do his
part in standing by the government.
1t was borne in upon every man in
that meeting that the United States
of America was being mobilized, that
Minnesota is holding up it's end and
that each county will contribute its
share through this organization.
Stirring talks were given by Gov
ernor Burnquist, c. L. Hilton, repre-
senting the Attorney General, Judge
McGee of Minneapolis, c. H. March
of Litchfield, c. w. Ames of st. Paul,
A. G. Weiss of Duluth and John Lind,
all members of the commission.
In the afternoon the Commission
heard what the county directors were
doing. O'Connor of Renville told
how 5000 people attended the eau
cuses and 5000 came together for
the county meeting. Senator Nc
Garry told how he went through
Cass County with brass band. 9th
ers described quieter methods by
which each township was swinging
itself into line to support the fed
eral government.
Work of the farm labor bureau
was outlined, showing how each
county was to be supplied by calling
upon the state organization and by
what means skilled or unskilled farm
labor was to be supplied as needed.
In the evening, the directors were
guests of the Saint Paul Association
at dinner, followed by an address by
Reverend John Walker Powell of
Minneapolis, on Americas Part in
the War, bringing home to every
man his responsibility for upholding
the rights of the nation and the fu-
ture of democracy
The effect of the meeting was per-
haps best summed up by two short
talks by Stewart of Redwood saying
he had a new sense of comradeship
from this meeting, and that from
this war we should come to realize
more than ever the fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man; and
Carter of Beltrami declaring that he
was going home to cover his county
on foot, if necessary with a pack
sack and snow shoes.
The fact that Minnesota is in this
war was further realized by trip to
Fort Smelling where $500 men are
undergoing training for positions as
officers.
One thing stands out clear from
this meeting: Whatever may be
done by the Commission of Public
Safety as the agent of the govern
ment Of Minnesota and the people of
Minnesota, the effectiveness of mobil-
iZing Minnesota depends upon the
earnestness with which each county
each township, each man and woman
takes up his task.
