Asks Wilson to Save
Hoboken Saloons

Unless President Wilson accedes TO
a request telegraph to him yesterday
by Mayor Patrick K. Griffin, of Ho-
boken, to make 81 exception in the case
Of that city, every saloon within q
radius Of half mile Of the govern.
ment piers will be closed on October 8.
The order to that effect, announced by
United States District Attorney Charles
r. Lynch, of Newark, is absolute, and
carries with it a threat TO employ
armed force if necessary to enforce it.
The closing Of more than two-thirds
of the 3lj saloons in Hoboken, which
are affected By the order, has been a
heated question ever since the first
order TO close them WAS issued several
months ago. At that time the saloons
refused to close. Afterward COM
promise was effected between the
saloonkeepers and the government Of
icers. whereby they closed at mid
night
Now the government has finally de-
cided that the saloons near the docks
must close for good and all. Mayor
Griffin has appealed TO President Will
son for a modification Of the order.

Making the
Point Obliquely

Hearst's third blast, in his America
First" campaign. takes the form of be
wailing this country's unfltness and
raising once again bugaboo which is
presumptively Japanese.
"And We should not be childish and
foolish enough to shut our eyes to the
fact that We MIGHT have TO oppose
an invasion. Germany is not our
ONLY menace, by any means. .
There Is only one possible course that
is sensible to keep every dol
lar and every man and every weapon
and all our supplies and stores at home
for the defence of our own land, our
own people, our own freedom. until
that defence has been made absolutely
secure"
Two years is The minimum which
Herr Hearst sets Tin the same edi-
toriaD for readiness to engage in EFF
fective war with first class power
Two years Of absolute and complete
denial Of aid TO our allies. Could Ger
many ask anything more?
Even were we to send men and sup
plies, all would be useless. The Ger
manized mind Of Herr Hearst could not
conceive that America futile Dit
would be Of any real avail in tho world
war.
'1f the Allies arc TO win, they will
end they must win with what prepared
ness they have, for all we can send
them now cannot possibly change the
result"
Hence Hearst publishes cartoon
showing hard -beset England and France
begging our soldiers 20 come to their
aid, and Uncle Sam returning firm re
fusal OF the ground that Americas SONS
who arc depicted as lined up in ser
ried ranks along our COAST are for
Americas defence alone.

Germany was overrunning Europe and

Americas, Congress would still be bent
over it's ledgers, totting up intermina-
bic columns of figures in the search for
missing dollar darkly suspected (by
Herr Hearst of having been employed
in the bribery OF greedy European
politicians"
SO Herr Hearst voices the hope that
such Congressional Committee on
Petty Accounts will conduct the war,
and that it will put an end Immediately
and peremptorily to the intolerabIe
and unconstitutional assumption Of
autocratic powers by the Executive.

Cabinet Officers
Rebube and Congressional chains for
the President and Cabinet. Why? Be
cause when the country had declared
war against Herr Hesrst's adaptive
nation, Germany, they proceeded to
make real war despite the fact that
Herr Hearst wished only mock war.
Like nearly every other measure
which Hearst has advocated, this
scheme Of Congressional committee
failed. But the Kaiser's disciple had
still in reserve the Forthcoming peace
proposals of the Pope. Much Of his
own peace propaganda had been at
tuned to this. He had increased his
circulation and influence among Irish
Catholics Of the more extreme type by
the clever but reckless taking Of the
Sim Fen rebellion news. Now he
went to the extreme in his support of
the Papal programme. He predicted,
as the alternative 10 a peace which
would leave Germany secure Of the
J fulfiment Of her psn-Germsnic dream,
revolution.
The European belligerents must
either accept the Pope's proposal Of
negotiations or face more desperate
warfare and almost certain domestic
revolutions"

Who's Who 4 gai1st America
William Randolph Hearst

BY way Of expert opinion In sup
port Of this, one Of his pet contentious,
Hearst provides himself with the fol-
lowing specimen OF imaginative lit
eraturc:
"The officers Of the United States
army are utterly opposed to our send
ing troops to the other side Of the
ocean"
Upon the declaration Of war Hearst
makes his inevitable bluff OF Ameri-
canism:
"Let every energy be bent upon prep
aration for a powerful and wholly VIC
torious war. We are now for the most
effective war that IL is possible for our
great nation to make. Let us
make ready with all possible haste,
counting no cost, to wage a powerful
war, an overwhelming war"
Impressive words. these, powerful, )"
Overwhelming wholly victorious"
And how does Mr.. Hearst propose that
this kind of combat shall be wsged
Why, by a programme of inertia!
Within a week after his high sounding
declaration he had begun to develop
his real programme Of going to war
backward.
America frst!" was the text of his
campaign, ana the main planks Of its
platform were: No help to our allies.
No active measures of offence. Hands
off Germany The opening blast is
headed:
stripping Our Country of Men,
Money and Food is Dangerous Pol
icy"
And here Is the argument:
1--WE say that every shipment of food
and military supplies from this time
on is A BLOW AT OUR OWN SAFETY.
Now our earnest suggestion to
Congress is that il imperatively refuse
TO permit the further drainage Of our
food supplies and our military sup
plies and our money supplies to
Europe.
1--WE insist that none Of these things,
at this eleventh. hour. when the huge
armies are already locked in the final
death grapple. can have any decisive
effect one way or another upon Eu-
ropes conflict
On the following day Herr Hearst
turns his attention TO finance. He
cnlarges upon the strain which the
expense Of preparedness will impose
upon the working class, conceding,
however, that Americans will be ready
TO make any sacrifice "for the sake Of
our dear country"

lous pacifist In repeated editorials FOR
example:
&c. The plain truth Is that
without the intervention Of some un-
known mechanical invention the Allies
cannot conquer Germany with the
means at their disposal and with such
achievements as we can promptly send
them. and may be defeated and brought
to sue for a humiliating peace before
we can put the millions of men on
European soil necessary to affect the
military operations"
And this jewel of Germanized
thought:
"Our only correct strategy Is to
spend all our money here and all our
labor in preparing our navy and our
armies here-and 40 compelling Ger
many. IL she wants to fight, to come
to u.s."
Could the mind OF man (un-Tcuton-
ized) conceive a more naive proposal!
It might be the very expression OF Ger
man miltarism's best hope, addressed
to the United States. "You keep away
until I've finished over here and then
(sotto voce) I'll attend to yoll."
At the governments active war meas
ures. of whatever kind, Hearst carped
and cavilled and snarled. Hoover's
nation wide plans for food conservation
must have occasioned genuine alarm in
Germany, for the echo Of this feeling is
heard in the Hearst press, sneering at
Hoover and impugning his good faith
and judgment. Delay in the supply OF
rifles was one of the most serious
checks upon our military activities, and
still is. Hearst knew, or should have
known, that the governments plans
(still inexplicably delayed were being
worked out on basis Of adaptability to
British standards and ammunition.
Therefore, he contributes his share to
confusion and delay by calling upon
the government to adjust its armament
to French standards. On the other
hand, Hearst, despite his demands that
all American soldiers be held in this
country, has been advocating the dis
patch of vast air force TO France. IT
has been suggested that he took this
tack, because, originally, it appeared
that the preparation of such an air
feet would be necessarily too slow to
render it Of any considerable avail.
Now it appears that Hearst has, for
once, guessed we'll; perhaps better than
he knew or meant. For so much he
should have due credit.

foresccing that his newspapers would
be among the first Of the pro-German
press to be curbcd. Now he scents
peril (to HearsD in the proposed
suppression Of some OF the extreme
radical anti-war papers. Hear the
voice Of his misgivings:
1--WE should, all OF Us, strenuously
resist the propaganda OF government
omniscicnce and government omnipo-
tencc. Whenever the time comes that
any American citizen Is not absolutely
safe in the free expression Of his
opinion as TO the policies Of govern
ment, THEN NO ONE OF US IS
SAFE"
II would not be difficult to guess the
identity Of the heavily capitalized
ONE for whose safety Mr.. Hearst is
so justly concerned. In time Of peace
his argument is, of course, irrefutable.
In time Of war it would permit the
unbridled license Of such journals as
preach nti-conscription, enmity to our
Allies, and even revolution. A com
Portable doctrine for Hearst! Perhaps
even a necessary one!
In the amendment to the food con-
troll bill, providing that all war ex-
penditures be placed under the con-
troll of Congressional committee,
Hearst shrewdly perceived the most
promising expedient yet suggested for
carrying on the war according to his
theory, viz, without fighting.
"Whoever holds the strings of the
public purse" he comments, quite cor
rectly, "holds at the same time the
reins of control over all the opera
tons of the government"
He works himself into quite
Hearsty fury over the supposed i'm
proper dispensing of government
funds by the government.
THE American people have no dol
lars at all to give to the government
to be spent in secret for unknown pur-
poses and in unknown directions. We
want none of this European diplomacy
I'm the conduct of our war. We want
no bribery of greedy European politi.
clans. and neither do We want any
bribery or coercion of neutrals on the
part Of our government. In a
contest of intrigue and of shifty and
lying and self-seeking diplomacy we
should he mere children in the hands
of the men who control the conduct
of European governmental affairs"
All of which essay at stirring up
loose suspicion, and hostility is direct

making to an absurdity by wholly de-
centralizing it and putting it in the
hands of Congress.
I've trust that the committee on
the control of the war will see to IL
that no Cabinet officer eXpends so
much as one dollar without the pre-
viOus consent of the committee and
without a full accounting for such ex-
penditure."

Opposing the Blow
AT Germanys Stomach


Practically all authorities are agreed
that the embargo upon foodstuffs to
neutrals is one of the severest blows
yet dealt to German prospects. In
this opinion Herr Hearst presumably
concurs. since he violently opposes 1t
and threatens armed reprisals on be-
half Of the neutrals who have been
feeding Germany.
"But we do not think" he proceeds,
that many Americans are either glad
or willing to make such a sacrifice for
the sake Of American and foreign
buyers Of English, French, Russian or
Italian bonds"
And he goes on to draw dark pros
pect of the country being "brutally
beaten" unless his advice is taken. and
to call upon Congress to insist upon
having TRUE statements of the real
conditions in Europe" on the ground
that our allies were tricking us by
false claims of victory.
1.-THE rights Of neutrais TO trade
freely with belligcrcnts has always
been American doctrine. II We Join
in bullying, browbeating, coercing and
starving neutral Switzerland, Holland,
Denmark, Sweden and Norway. We
shall, sooner or later, find ourselves
at war not only with Germany, but
with these neutral nations as we'll"

patriotism might find further mediums

those Senators who engage in the
amiable pastime Of throwing monkey
wrenches into the governments war
machinery. The "wilful twelve" or,
rather, such of them as persisted in
their wilfulness after Americas dec
lsration of war, are exalted in true
Hearstian rhetoric. With reference
10 these Senators, not to the others
of both parties who stood by the
President and the country, Hearst en-
thuses to this effect:
The policy Of the Senate has been
more patriotic. more digni6ed, more
democratic, more American, more
sound in every respect, than that of
the House. The lower house has been
eager all along to sacrifice its birth
right for a mess of pottage. II has

GREAT REsOURsE NEEDS PRO-
LECTION

White pine is one the great natur-
al resources Of Minnesota to be COM
pared with her iron, her water pow
er, and her agricultural products. 1t
is one Of the timber trees of the world
and it grows wonderfully we'll in Min
nesota. It is a native Of easter North
America and covers the northeastern
quarter Of the United States and ad-
jacent parts Of Canada. It has fur
nished billions Of feet of lumber for
the building up Of Minnesota. 1t has
been a great natural asset of the
state. Can it be called an asset Of
the futurea We know that the white
pine can be raised proftably on large
areas Of land in the state. Will it be
done?
Is fire the only serious enemy? It
it not: Tnother real enemy has ap-
peared In Minnesota-the disease call
ed pine blister rust. Fire can be pre-
vented. Blister rust, if once we'll es-
tablished, can probably never be Grad
icated; and, in that event, white pine
will, according to the experience in
the east and in Europe, have to be
eliminated as a future asset Of Min.
nesota and probably for all time to
come.
Now is the time to act. Every ef-
fort ought to be made to stamp out
the infection in Minnesota and to pro-
tect the state from any future infec-
tion.-E. NJ. Freeman, Minnesota Elk

UPKEEP LABOR LESS ON LIVE
STOCK FARM

On the average farm of Minnesota
about % per cent of the farm labor
is employed in up-keep or maintenance
labor. From this sort of labor there
can be no possible return in cash yet
it is necessary that a certain amount
of such labor be performed. The pro-
portion Of maintenance labor is con.
siderably less on we'll equipped live
stock farms where diversified farming
is followed, than it is on farms that
specialize largely in grain-raising.
The reason for this is that where
livestock is cared for a good part Of
the farm labor is employed in the win.
ter on enterprises that return cash
for the work performed. It is diff
cult in the winter on grain farms to
findAproft-bearing employment for
very much labor. If one looks ahead
to the summers work, however, he
can find numerous places in which he
can prepare for the rush reasons and
