y DEMONSTRATION OF LEADER.
SHIP

SHIP
The Minnesota Harpoon: st.
Louis county went dry by 1000 and
to Dick Jones more than to any one
man goes the credit for the victory.
He headed the committee which
turned the trick and his victory places
the senator among the foremost dry
leaders, if not the foremost dry
leader in the state. This great dry
victory under his leadership points
him out as the logical man to orga-
nize and lead the campaign next fall
to put Minnesota in the dry column.
If the dry organizations Of Minne-
sofa (and this includes the Anti-Sa-
loon league) show any good judg-
ment in conducting the state fight
they will pick this senator from St..
Louis county to organize and lead
them.
He is a little fellow, but he has
demonstrated conclusively that he is
big enough for the job.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
COLD-BIOODED COAL

Toledo Union Leader: With all
the excuses put forth for the famine
in coal, we fail to see that the blame
lies anywhere else but with the cold
blooded coal barons of the country.
Coal there is a-plenty. Miners are
eager to mine it, provided they are
paid living wages for doing their
work-which in ninety-nine cases out
of a hundred they are not. The rail-
roads put forth the plea they cannot
deliver through shortage Of cars-a
very flimsy excuse indeed. The real
trouble lies with the coal barons,
who by fighting the reasonable de-
mands Of the miners the country over.
have caused strikes and stopped the
regular output. Then to deliberately
bring about the famine SO as to get
higher prices for the black diamonds
of the earth. they have used up all
stocks, curtailed the output by plac-
ing the miners on short time upon
their return to work, victorious in
their demands until what they de-
liberately set out to do has become
an absolute fact-control until they
have the consumer on his knees and
then boost the prices sky high.
Why are few men allowed to con-
troll the coal of the nations supply?
Why doesn't the government take
over the mines in such a crisis? Are
the cold-blooded coal Darons too DOW
erful, and have they got such a grip
on the nation that they cannot be
made to let go? We are convinced
that the coal barons are not running
their business for the peoples bene-
fit; then let's take it from them and
let Uncle Sam run it. The first
step in this direction would be to
make fitting example of such car
rion. Tarring, feathering and beat
ing may be old-fashioned. but it
strikes us that few Of the coal bar
ons richly deserve that fate, and
would get 1t If we could but lay
hands on the scoundrels who cause
| us to shiver and freeze for want of
! fuel in land of plenty, for mere
selfishness and monetary considera-
tions. The confiscation Of the mines
by Uncle Sam is the only solution and
! remedy for an outrageous state of
things which causes many thousands
Of innocent citizens of the United
States to suffer when there Is abso-
lutely no~need whatever. Uncle Sam
has taken over several things Of late
let's help him take over the mines.

years he almost fought the battles of

political enemy ever accused him of

she is beginning to regard him as her

NEW MEXICo FAIR
A "CORxER"

Those who attended the fair at
Grenville this week saw undoubtedly
one of the best farm products and
live stock exhibits that any country
was ever able to boast
The most noticeable feature of the
whole thing was the display of
potatoes. heretofore one of Union
.County's most scarce articles. They
were of the kind that our granddaddies
used to raise back IN Missouri or from
wherever we CHANGED to come. Besides
the spuds, which ranged up to the
size of quart cup, there were all the
species OF pumki1 and squash that
grow, and they weren't Of a small
variety either.
There were some fine displays Of
field corn. wheat maize, and ,kaffir
that showed that that particular sec
, tion of country was really doing it's bit
toward the maintenance of our fight
ing boys. Then some one had brought
to the fair about hundred beets-
table and sugar--that would rival the
products of the irrigated districts of
Colorado for size
There was a good attendanc at the
fair all the time and the people of that
section feel enough like boosting the
country that they claim to spend their
time and money in advertising it! The
fair was free to all visitors and all
| premiums were paid by subscriptions
| taken up among the people beforehand
Directors and executive officers were
eletced for next year and our old
friend Ben Ogilvie was the lucky one
for the presidential chair. He is a

Three billion Called For VIII lie
Greatly Surpassed, Is belief

Washington. Oc; 4.-Altho the Sc
cond liberty loan will be fully sub
scribed, If $4,000. OOO, 900 is offered the
government, indications now are that
from six billion dollars to eight
billion dollars may be lent to the
treasury by the people of the United
States
From New York city and Chicago
alone n total of $4,000, 000, 900 is expect
ed and all other sections of the coun-
try are on their mettle to show these
two great centers Of population that
their patriotism is mot greater than
less congested regions.
Full subscription OF the liberty loan
means that every man, woman and
the government nearly $40. To roll
up a subscription of $4,000, ,000. 900 would
mean $50 out of the pocket of every
man. woman and child. Thus a man
with wife and three children, the
normal modern family, would have
to lend the government $3.50 to sub
scribe the loan and S400 TO run the
total up to the desired $4,000, 900, 900
mark.
For any other country this would ap-
pear to be practically an impossiblity
but statistics reveal that the wealth
of each man, woman and child in the
nation is approximately s2.5OO so a
S4OO loan to the government would
not be unreasonable

NEW MEXICO Is AFTER
THE JUDAS" OF SENATE

The state Of New Mexico does not
believe that Senator La Toilette has
any right to block the progress of the
Governments plan to carry on the war
intelligently and successfully. The
state of New Mexico does not believe
that any man, holding to such danger
Gus beliefs and trying to block pro-
gress. has any right to hold his seat
in the Senate. .tt
No doubt great many of the
senators are convinced that La Fol-
lette ought to be expelled. but up TO
this time everyone has shrunk from
the unpleasant task. Precedent is
strong In all organized bodies and
nowhere else does il appear to be
quite so strong as In. our senate. The
custom is for q Senator to be unmol-
ested until ninety percent of the Fiji
Islanders rise in Indignation and voci-
ferously demand that little purify
ing be done. This custom has been
decidedly in favor Of La Toilette.
New Mexico has, asked Senators Fall
and Jones to lead the fight. The re-
quest was made Yesterday afternoon
in the following telegram from Charles
Springer, chairman of the executive
committee of tile Council of Defense

Funston. Kansas.
These men came from all parts of

gun battallions.
Almost the entire population of the
city was at the depot to bid the boys
a fond goodbye. and express hope for
their safe returns. Bruce Mallory. OF
Clayton. one of the men sent forward
and a soldier OF experience, was de-
signated by the local board to chaper-
