SPEAKING OF RIGHTS
(By Scott Nearing)


Every newspaper and every maga-
zine for months past has told us
that our rights were invaded; that
the national honor was at stake, and
that immediate measures must be
taken to redress the wrong. That
is all true.
The United States, as we have said
over and over again, is the richest
nation in the world. The wealth of
this country is estimated at 230 bill
lions of dollars, which is more than
the wealth of the British Isles, Ger
many and France combined. In
March, 1917, the assets of the ma
tional banks of the United States
reached the immense total of 16 bill
lions, which is five billions more than
the combined resources of the Bank
of England, the Bank of France, the
Bank of Italy, the Bank of Spain,
the Bank of Norway, the Bank of
Sweden, the Swiss National Bank,
the National Bank of Denmark, the
Bank of Japan and the Reichsbank
of Germany.
Since 1918, the resources of all of
the banks in the United States have
increased about five billions of dol
lars. This prosperity is without
parallel in the history of the finan-
cial institutions of the United
States.
Now, as to rights.
What created this immense pros
perity? Three things. The demand
for commodities made by the warning
nations of Europe; the great richness
of the natural resources of the Unit
ed States, and the labor performed
by the American people.
Who is in charge of this vast fl
nancial power? A little group of
men who own and control the bank
ing facilities of the United States.
They decide the bank policies. They
reap the profits of the only business
in which man can make money on
his debts. The banks use their de-
posits (debts) to loan for their own
benefit.
The banking business is one of the
largest and richest of all of the
great public utilities Of the country.
It is a utility so vital that the mod
ern economic machinery depends up
on it to the same extent that it de-
pends upon the transportation facili-
ties. Yet the banking business of
the United States is still a private
business.
The Federal Reserve Bank Act is
a first, hesitating step. 1t must be
followed by other steps until the
banking system of the United States
is public, from top to bottom. The
banking rights are vital, public
rights. So long as they remain in
public hands the community is denied |
one of it's most important economic |
rights.

ganize, it would be simple enough.
They have the right to organize, and
the position Of the company against
it is utterly untenable. But If, as
it is charged, SO far without denial,
only twenty per cent Of the men want
to organize, and the demand which
has visited lawless rioting upon the
state is voiced by only q small per-
centage Of the men involved, then
the strikers and their sympathizers
are blowing up the peace Of the state
without warrant. If that is true,
they are selling upon the fancied OPP
portunity Of a state Of war to i'm
pose their demands at the cost of the
public convenience and the public
safety, and that cannot be tolerated
for moment.
War time is not the proper time
to fight out such an issue.
The settlement made by the public
safety commission, and apparently
accepted and agreed to by the strik-
ers, should have stood. That it has
not stood seems to be due to the fact
that the agreement for peace has not
been kept.
Peace and order first, and the adj
justment Of the controversy later, is
the duty of the authorities, and that
duy must be performed if it takes
every unit Of the home guard and the
state militia to do it.-Duluth Herald

THE MEN OF UNCLE SAM.

These are the men of Uncle Sam,
Brimming over with vim and slam;
Chock with ginger, pep and pop,
Aching to go "over the top"
Muttering each to his pal, "oh, we'll
Well hand 'em our special brand
of hell"
Slim, deep-chested, 1.-THE as thing
Of the wilds-see how they march
and swing?
Eyes at the ready, ears at cock,
Grim-faced fellows hard as a rock;
Oh, they'll push like a battering ram,
These are the men Of Uncle Sam.
Anxious to show their grit and might,
Proving they're not Ito proud to fight
Straining the leash, paving the turf,
Longing to help clean up the earth;
Cool headed, nervy, don't give damn,
These are the men Of Uncle Sam.

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shrivel
up corns or caIIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch YlY! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town If
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of a drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or eallus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone win cost very little at any
drug store, but viii positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration of the high heels. II
your druggist doesn't have freezone tell
him to order small bottle for you.

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
Is A SKIN WHITENER
How to make creamy beauty lotion
for a few cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained
into a bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautifer at about the cost one must
pay for small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to strain
the lemon juice through fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
to bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up
a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands.

 At the same time, the chancellor. by the declaration that Germany was defensively fighting for the freedom of her territorial possessions, evolved a formula that seemed satisfactory to both those who clamcred for peake hy agreement and those who demand ed repudiation of the formula "no annexation and no indemnities."
 Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg was strongly backed by the emperor. The advent Of the crown prince upon the scene seems to have changed entirely the position with regard to the im- perial chancellor. The fact that Field Marshal von HinJenberg, chief of staff and General von Leudensdorf, first quartermaster general, havo been most prominent throughout throughout these discussions, and that section of the press has been clamoring for joint dictatorship by them, hardly augurs well for the realization of the Prussian franchise reforms, which the emperor has just decreed, or for the movement towards d1minution of .Germary's war aims
