THE SAFETY COMMISSION.

n Minnesota is particularly fortunate,
MI commission we have at the head
~ for in the Minnesota public safety
of public affairs body of men who meas
ure up to the gigantic task that confronts
them-a body of men who not only have
the full courage of their convictions, but
convictions founded upon broad insight
and foresight into the needs of the hour
and upon a sense of patriotic duty that
makes no task too great or severe to per-
form.
The commission was created by the late
legislature to handle the emer gencles GER
tain to arise in the present war, and to
this end it was given almost unlimited
power The appointment Of the members
was delegated to the executive of the
state, and the selections made by Cover
nor Burnquist happily meet with the tre-
mendous responsibilities that devolve up
on the commission.
The people of the state should watch
the work of the commission and give it
the Endorsement and support it seems to
merit The members are working with
out any compensation whatsoever and are
devoting almost their entire time to du-
ties of the commission. They are seek
ing to mobilize all of the resources of the
state into compact, helpful forms for pro-
noting the welfare of the state during
the war and to give to the nation the
greatest aid possible. By the same token
they are endeavoring to suppress every
thing that works to the injury of efficiency
and the welfare of the people. That they
cannot work to best advantage without
the cooperation and good will of the peo-
pie as whole will readily be recognized.
It therefore is the patriotic duty of every
citizen to join with them in the work they
are undertaking ng.-Luverne Herald.

DIR CHURCHES.

7 ET the tottering governments Of Eu-
rope have their state churches! We
- in America will hold fast to the
principle that each and every man has a
right to have his own religion, and that
the matter is one between himself and
his God And our churches, our many
churches, will go on in the future as they
have in the past preaching loyalty and
service and producing men who will live
while they may, and die when they must,
for their flag, their country and their God.
-Gunnar Bjornson.

Let's Use Oxen!

The railroads are asking for freight
increase of rates Of fifteen per cent. Is
this unreasonable? Candidly, we do not
believe that it is. It is fact, as every
one knows, that the price of practically
all commodities has raised greatly within
the past few years. This is especially
true on everything that the railroad has
to buy in order to keep up it's equipment.
Metals, which are used by the roads in
great quantities, are sky-high. We be-
lieve that the railroads are entitled to con-
sideration. Where would we be without
them? They are the arteries of commerce,
and to go back to the day of the stage
coach and the towboat would be mighty
inconvenient, to say the least.-Winne-
bago Enterprise.

It Certainly Won't.

Some folks have queer ideas of what
constitutes happiness. In Russia today
six hour working day. In this country
an l. w. w. publication calls itself the
"Three Hour Day." Working further
along the same line it is plain to see that
this class of people believe idleness is hap
piness. What an awful mistake If you
are working at work in which you are in
terested, your happiness is assured Work
gives more happiness in the world than
anything else you can name. Idleness is
misery. The theory of the L W. w. won t
work. k.-Wadena Pioneer Journal.

John Invested.

The working man who bought $50
Liberty Bond is more of a patriot and did
more for his country than did John d.
Rockefeller with his purchase amounting
to several millions. Many poor man will
have to deny himself many things that he
would like to have, will have to scrimp, to
pay for his bond; that shows loyalty and
patriotism John D. bought because it
was good investment; his money so in
vested is tax-free and pays him very
good rate Of interest for that amount. If
he had figured it any other way cent a
gallon advance on kerosene and gasoline
would have paid him back twice as much
as the amount of his subscription in a
few days-and it would have been levied
too, don't you forget it.-Hutchinson
Leader.

PRESIDENT WILSON says: s.But a
small proportion of our people can have
the opportunity to serve upon the actual
field Of battle, but all men, women and
children alike may serve and serve effect
lively by making it possible to care prop
erlv for those vino do serve under arms
at home and abroad Serve by giving
your share to the Red Cross war fund, in
the week from June 19 to 25.
Minnesota is the only state in the Union
which will have campaign confined en-
tirely within it's borders. In other parts
| of the country responsibility has been d.
yided into sections regardless OF state
lines. For this reason the eyes OF the Ma
ton will be on Minnesota and it is the
hope of Governor Burnquist and his as
scciates that the state may give demon
stration of practical patriotism which will
gain the envy Of other sectlons-Red
Cross Notes.
Daily we hear people telling how they
do this or that to enable them to forget
the war; Heaven help him who is so
selfish that. to avoid little merItal dis
comfort or a little heartache, he would
forget even temporarily the struggle
which is taking mems lives and tearing
mems souls. There are worse things IN
the world than suffering; living solely for
personal comfort and pleasure is one OF
them. Dutiful Americans can only for
get the war" when it's over.
Let us be fair about this thing; the lad
of twenty-one who hesitates about laying
down his life for the sake of his country,
is not one-half SO much Stacker as the
man of more years, who, worth many
thousands of dollars, offers a paltry ten
or twenty or fifty upon the altar Of his
country's need. Make your sacrifice, II
you so wish to regard it, proportionate
to your income. The appalling and prodi
gious amount of Stacking is not-being done
by the little fellows-rather by the men
who refuse to sacrifice Interest to "prin-
cip1e." Perhaps the trouble is that many
of them lack the principle necessary.

RED CROSS WEEK.

THIS is the Week of Weeks; the seven
days set aside by President Wilson
i to promote the membership, the or
ganization and the raising of funds for
the American Red Cross-and there is no
work in the world of the height and the
depth and the breadth of this work. Let
us hope the week will be fruitful of great
results, not only in getting more members
and more funds, but in a closer union of
the American people in this one great
cause. There is no border nor breed nor
birth" when Red Cross workers meet,
whether it be in the quiet workroom Of
church or school or on the battlefelds
where red war reigns.
Let us then unite in this wonderful
work, thoughtfully, helpfully and above
all in spirit of friendliness and good fel-
lowship. So shining a cause must not
have its glory dimmed by petty jealousies,
criticisms or fnicky attention to details.
The cause needs our money, our sup
port and our service; let us give as free
ly as we may, giving even little with a
cheerfulness and desire that will make
it large in it's real value. Individuals don't
count as individuals in this work; they
count merely as important parts of won
derful mechanism which should not be
hampered in it's career because of the in
accurate working of any of it's many units.
Every officer in every chapter in every
county needs every members confidence
and help. We who can give nothing else
can at least give that. Red Cross work
is founded upon the principle of brotherly
love as Christ taught it, regardless of
creed, doctrine or dogma In this univer-
sal labor we belong only to the broad
brotherhood of Christianity. with no
thought of sect or denomination or church
or belief.
To quote again from Kipling:
1t amt the individual
Nor the army as whole
But the everlastin' teamwork
Of every bloomin' soul.

IT Can't Be Done.

The good book tells us that mo man
can serve two masters" and we suspect
that the good book is usually right. This
being the case, it is a bit difficult for a
man to be loyal to two countries at one
and the same time when those countries
are at war It simply can't be done and
we don't advise anyone trying it out

REDWOOD FALLS.

Far westward, toward Dakota land,
Pure are the skies and wild the scene
Tn rourded swells the prairies stand,
All dressed in varied gorgeous green
A playground for Fairy Queen
Still northward o'er the waving earth
Red River seeks a British sea,
And Minnesota claims her birth
With western highlands on her lea,
Mid wandering ocean breezes free.
Here. miraged in the morning light,
When cooling frosts condense the air,
Wide glows the picture on the sight,
Till distant views are mingled there,
Bewidering as they are fair.
Transfgured in these highland views
The traveller scans fringe of trees,
And eagerly his way pursues,
Where woody boughs invite the breeze
Like way-marks on the shores OF seas
Some river nears, he knows right well;-
Where red men, in the days OF yore,
Their tribal legends loved to tell,
And count their deeds of daring DER,
And gather war-paint on it's shore.
How wild the place! Deep cut in stone
More ancient than the tribes of men,
A fretting stream goes signing on
Ger granite gray, by cedars green,
Here hermit nature, old and wild,
Had thought to make the scene her own,
And age on age the sun had smiled,
And cedars red in granite grown,
And foot of man had never known.
Waters had leaped from rock in spray,
Then plunged in whirlpool deep and low,
Then in sharp angles hid away
Meath rocks on which no foot could go,
Gray, granite rocks where cedars grow.
But tides of life must onward roll,
Search out and conquer all the earth !;
And hidden wealth of iron and coal
In ages past had here their birth,
Could Nature hide from man theirworth !?
The hum of life falls on the air,
And onward sweeps the tide of man =
For the poor Indian" who shall care?
It was his lot to lead the van,
And perish in the race he ran.
Scarce now the red man comes to view
This granite gray, this waterfalls;
To gaze on cliffs where erst he knew
From cedar tops the eaglets call;
Or try his war-paint on this wall.
How strangely sad to him the doom:
The pale-face shall these treasures own,
And all his fields shall slose their bloom,
For fields of grain by white man sown,
When all his hunting grounds are gone

DEGREES GROUP ENLISTING
Boston Tech" Committee Advises
Against Diffusion of Specialized
Training

BOSTON, March 2-Students of Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology are ad-
viscd not to rush to enlist in the ranks of
the army or navy in the event of war in the
report of an undergraduate preparedness
committee. Such a rush of technically
trained men, it is stated would be a mis-
take
Undergraduates would be rendering a bet
ter service to the country. in the opinion OF
the committee by remaining at their studies
until the demands of the fields Of industry
and research have been defined by war con-
dtions. At any rate, there should be no
group enlistments but instead a diffusion of
technical training
