Press Comment
Journalism Week
The .Made.in-JaDan. Banquet.

The Daily Intelligencer. Mexico, Mo-:
"Space fOrbids" the Intelligencer
from going into details in covering the
story of the "Made-in-Japan" Banquet
given at the University of Missouri
Friday night. In commenting, how
ever. we are constrained to say that
the affair was of far more significance
than any of those, perhaps, who at
tended. had anticipated.
The fact that the United States is at
war-a war that forbodes grief in
thousands of homes in America-was
brought out quite forcibly by Cover
nor Gardner. The flag of Japan, the
Golden Sun. entwined with that of the
Star Spangled Banner, was profusely
in evidence. That Japan. our ally. is
fighting with the United Statestor the
sacred principles of democracy, was
uttered by representatives of the I'm
perial japanese Government, who
breathed friendship for America and
her people.
The banquet. we repeat, was reve-
| lation. The School of Journalism of
the University of Missouri. it was
shown. has been a potent factor in
making even stronger the friendly re-
| lations that have existed between the
United States and Japan Missouri
journalism students. or graduates. are
rather plentiful in the land of the
cherry blossoms, and the chrysanthe-
mum-and they are appreciated.
The Intelligencer is grateful to Dean
Walter Williams, whose leave of alb
sence to Ralph r. Wayne, a student
in the School of journalism. to relieve
the editor of the newspaper for half
day, permitted the writer to attend
the banquet and participate in one of
the most unique and patriotic demon
strations ever witnessed in this coun-
try.
We desire to thank the entire fac
ulty and students of the School of
Journalism for the courtesies shown to
us during the day
Our gratitude is expressed to Mr..
Wayne for his assistance, and to Gus
tav NJ. Oehm, president of the Univer-
sity Ad Club and a student i'm Journa-

fort in making our visit pleasant. Mr..

They were not attracted by the
magnet of great name or dis
tinguished picturesque character
but they left their farm work and
places of business and turned out en-
masse as an evidence Of their devotion
to the cause of America and the
world and by sober, sane demonstra-
ton to make that evidence manifest.
Taking into account the difference
in population, more people turned
out at Clutches Grove, little inland
town in Todd county, consisting of
one store and creamery to hear
Judge Giddings of Anoka and other
speakers, than turned out at the
Roosevelt meetings in the cities, and
while the wild enthusiasm was lacking
the interest was deeper and more
abiding.
We do not wish to detract an iota
from the meetings that were held in
the cities, but we do wish to enter
u mild protest against the idea that
they were the whole thing and the
work done in other parts of the state
were not as far-reaching and import
ant, or that Col. Roosevelt or any
other man created" loyalty in Min
nesota. 1t always was there, is
there now and always will be there.
1t is an inherent inborn heritage of
the PEOPLE.

THE SAME OLD YELL ONLY
LOUDER.

AS the campaign draws near and
~ rer we are treated to the same
old cry by a certain crowd Of mug
wump politicians and revenue seek
ing publications about eliminating
politics, only it is louder this time
than ever before and will increase
in volume as the election approaches.
The word has gone forth that be-
cause we are at war we must for
get politics and keep everybody in
office that is in office because they
are in.
The people should never forget
that whenever you eliminate PARTISAN
that whenever you eliminate parsan-
ship you elevate incompetency. We
have only to compare the non-partisan
legislatures with those elected in the
cid way and this proposition is es-
tabl;shed.
The people of the country should
not forget that the politics and polio
les of the government are the same
thing, and that there are two
branches of governmental policies.
foreign and domestic.
When it comes to foreign policies
there is only ONE party recognized
by true citizens and that is the Am
el'ican party, especially is that the
case in time of war; then it becomes
the duty of every loyal citizen to
back the administration, which means
the government to the limit and in
this crisis right royalty have an
overwhelmingly majority of the peo-
nles' representatives responded to
their duty The president has had
the backing of the legislative bodies
| irrespective of politics. There has
been no party lines drawn on war
measures.
It is true that the unspeaka5le
LaF gillette, the inconsequential Gron-
IA. the irresponsible Lundeen and a
few other "Hun" Republicans have
endeavored to hamper his actions and
have offered aid and comfort to the
enemy but the uncomfortable Eli
Stone, the self-conceited Claude Kit
chin and few other Democrats have
been equally pestiferous and much
more injurious because being at the
heats Of great committees they 60
more injury.
The foreign policy of the government
and the domestic policy, however are
quite two different things and it
should be borne in mind that a
Democratic domestic policy is just as
deleterious to the country in time of
war as it is in time Of peace.
The nature, composition and diver
sifcation of the makeup of the Re
publican party better qualify it to
handle the domestic affairs of the
country than any other party. .
There never was so great need
of wise, fair, economic management OF
public affairs as at the present time.

Hon. Frank Kellogg, junior United
J States senator. The Twin City pres!
alleged, for the purpose of throwing
a scare into some of the weakened
committeeman no doubt, that Mr.
Kellogg would not accept the honor
The committee met and on the tlrs'
test vote it was found that Burn
quist was shy on his promise to de-
liver. The purity squad at once
set up a cry Of "steam roller," etc
The majority worked in the even
tenor of their way with the result
that Burnquist stands before the
people of the state not such d
"heluva" fellow as imagined by
some. Mr.. Kellogg is the new ma
tional committeeman, and has ac-
Cepted.
1t was apparent that during the
last campaign the Burnquist members
of the committee were lending their
energies more toward giving him the
'atgest majority ever accorded q
candidate in this state than ;hey were
for the balance of the ticket. Qn
this effort they fell down as Julius
Schmahl with fully as strong a candi-
didate against him had a majority
$500 larger than did Burnquist.
This statement is borne out by tax
ing the Burnquist meeting in Sauk
Centre for example. This address was
filled with lot of meaningless
platitudes and not once during his
address did he mention the name OF
the republican candidate for president
or congress.
1t is alleged that his administration
is strewn with broken promises to bis
former friends. No one claims that
his ability is more than mediocre. The
state committee were amply justified
! in putting the kibosh on his aspira'
lions for boss of the ranch. The next
campaign is fast approaching. AS wal
governor he will have some prestage
but men of the calibre of Julius A
Schmahl, ]. A. O. Preus or Irving
Caswell having the field against hin
alone at the primaries would leave
Burnquist at the post. Should null
tiplicity of candidates enter he may be
nominated. In the latter case, a demo

Judge Stanton would defeat him be-

MAGNIFICENT.

The monster meetings that recently
gathered in the Twin Cities to greet
Col. Roosevelt and the cumulative,
climaxatic frenzy of patriotic en-
thusiasm that greeted his vitrolic ut
terances against "Huns," "Near
Huns" "Shadowy Huns" and "Mi-
corobic Huns" was magnificent
demonstration of the real heartfelt
ing of an overwhelmingly majority
of the citizens of St. Paul, Mime
apolis and those gathered from every
part Of The state to see and hear him.
1t was a splendid and unequivical
answer on the part of the people to
any expression of disloyalty that
may have been uttered in any part of
the state ard a scathing nd unre-
lenting criticism af those public man
and public officials who are crying
peace when there is no peace.
Every war developes a popular
idol. Such a one must possess GER
t; n charac rcristics and Col. Rooce-
welt possesses them all and then
some more. He is the concentration
OF dynamic cI5 ICY, vigorously. single
ness of purpose and impetuousity.
He said nothing at these meetings
that had not been said as we'll, and
possibly better, by others but he put
a punch into his remarks that
knocked the lethargy out of his audi
tors and caused them to fairly bubble
and boil with enthusiasm. No other
living man can so stir the American
people out of themselves as can Col.
Roosevelt. AS Sir Walter Scott said
of Roderick Dhu: Zone blast upon
his bugle horn were worth a thous-
and men,"
The loyalty was there, however,
before Col. Roosevelt came and spoke.
He did not convert anybody. He is
not a proselyter, he solidifies the
friends of any cause that he spouses
and creates an equal solidarity
among the opponents of his cause
The loyalty was there, he did not
create it, he only famed it into a
living flame, and as a result of his
meeting loyal citizens are more en-
Enthusiastically loyal.
There never was any lack of 10y
atty on the part of the citizens Of
Minnesota in any national crisis
either now or heretofore.
During the last six weeks we have
addressed audiences in every part>of
the state. With the exception of
four or five places all these adj
'resse. were delivered in county
villages and in some cases at poin' S
who're there was not even village.
Tie attendance at these meetings
exceeded anything we have ever ex-
perienced in forty years of public
work.

A Good Fault.
General Petain, the French COM

noted in the American soldier is that
they are too brave and reckless and
too willing to expose themselves to
danger. This strikes the average
man as rather good fault in a
soldier.

A woman is always more loving

All this talk about the helpfulness
of infants is an illusion; there are
very few babies that are not able TO

A woman who asks mans opinion

A Big Difference.
There is a mighty big difference
between woman on shopping touc
