|. c. c. TO HEAR BOTH
Sides ON Rate RAISE
Shippers to Argue Against Railroads
Increase Asked.

The hope Of the railroads that the
Interstate Commerce Commission would
grant them the fifteen per cent increase
In freight rates that they have asked
out Of hand, vanished completely yes
tsrday when the Interstate Commerce
Commission announced a hearing will be
held Friday at which shippers views
on the Increase will be heard. Up to
the present the shippers case has not
been presented to the commission orally
although food OF letters and kilograms
from ship, ers protesting against gen
eraI incre Sc has been received at the
commissions once.
Railroad presidents and attorneys have
told the commission why, the railroads
should be given a big general rate tn
crease and now the commission has Ie-
cided to hear what the people who must
pay the 500. 100000 sought in additional
revenues have to say about the PROPOSE
ton
Indications are that the shippers will
appear In force and strongly oppose the
granting Of a general increase It Is
understood that some shippers are will
ing to pay small percentages Of increase,
but not II per cent.

ate Veterans Reunion on June to Chair

ter addressed to the President from the
chief aide to the commanding officer or
the Alabama veterans, asking the Chier
Executive II. in his Judgment, It was
wise to hold the reunion. at a time when
the country was preparing to enter the
war on the side of the allies.
The answer transmitted through Ru-

WHAT BENTALL is FACING

J. O. Bentall, former socialist
candidate governor of Minneso-
ia, who has been twice arrested
for seditiouS utterances in anti
draft speeches that he has made,
is now again facing trail under
another and possibly more seri-
Gus charge. His hired man evad-
ed registration and Bentall is
accused not only Of giving him
advice which caused such viola
ton of the CONSUMPTION law but
also actually assisted in hiding
the offender when the officers
were hunting for him.
lie the former socialist candi-
date is convicted of the offences
with which he is charged he may
be liable for a fine Of ten thou
sand dollars or twenty years inn
prisonment, or both at the dis
erection Of the court. Should the
court conclude to give him the
limit, Bentall need expect little
sympathy from loyal Americans
anywhere. -Mankato Review.

THE MELTING POT.

The Osceola County (Ia.) Trib-
une of Sibley, of last week called
attention to the fact that about
60 per cent Of the boys of the
last increment of the selective
draft, sent to Camp Dodge from
that county were of German
lineage. To greater or less
degree this is true, no doubt,
the country over. 1t is safe to
say that nearly all of these went
as willingly as the native born,
of American parentage. The
slackers are not confined to those
of foreign lineage by any means.
We cannot any of us trace our.
ancestry back very far until we
discoverthe fact that we are of
foreign lineage. When man is
true to his country, be he for
eign or native born, he is en-
titled to all the credit due for
serving his country well.
We have spent a vast amount
of money already in preparation
for our part in this war, and are
going to spend other vast
amounts. 1t will not have been
spent in vain if it arouses u~ato
live national consciousI Us.
May the melting pot brew untf

pure gold, and may the dross
floating on top, and which will
not fuse, be dumped into the sea
or back upon the foreign soil

HOW TO EAT GREEN CORN,

The best way to eat green corn
so as not to annoy the rest of
the family is to lock yourself W.
in a room alone with the corn,
and then let the corn fly where
it may. It is good plan to sit
in the bath tub.
It is a good plan to wear a
diving suit, without the helmet,
when engaged in the pleasant
acrobatic stunt of eating green
corn. The butter can then drop
at it's own sweet will.
Old fashioned ear muffs come
in handy. They prevent the corn
from getting into the ears. To
prevent it from getting down
the neck wear one of those tight
rubber collars, such as the bar
Der puts on you when he gives
you an egg shampoo.
An expert corn eater is able
to get away with SO per cent of
the corn, while the other so per
cent is scattered about the room.
An amateur can get about 10

The DisIOyal League

The indignation of the pa
triotic people Of st. Paul over
the trick by which their NUM-
cipal Auditorium was made the
scene Of series of disloyal meet
ings last week, eliminating in
the seditious La Toilette speech,
lis the only natural under the
circumstances. The refusal Of
the st. Paul association to make
Its promised contribution to the
Expenses of the Non-P Partisan
League conference, because the
character of it had been misrep-
resented, is quite justified. Il
The President Of the League,
A. C. Townley, had promised
that there would be no seditious
speeches, and that any speaker
giving utterance to disloyal SEN
| timents would be thrown out.
1t was a promise more honored
in the breach than in the OBJ
servance.
The strong undercurrent of
disloyalty that flowed through
nearly all the addresses was part
" concealed by a camouflage of
protestations about patriotism.
But at the last meeting this was
thrown off, and the Wisconsin
obstructionist whom Col Roose-
welt has dubbed the .'neo-Cop-
perhead' was permitted to go
as far as he dared in the sdirec-
ton of open treason.
Whether Senator La Toilette
contrived to keep within the
law while vociferating his pro-
German arguments, will now be
determined by the proper au-
thorities. But there is no doubt
whatever Of the reasonable spir-
it of his speech, nor of the fact
that it was calculated to give aid
and comfort to the enemy.
Nor is there any doubt that
all this might have been easily
foreseen, if due attention had
been given to the character and
previous utterances of the man,
as well as to the record and pur-
poses Of the inner circle that
absolutely controls the Nonpar-1
tisan League. They are disloy-

been working for during for

ty years.
1t will never succeed, because
seventy-five per cent of the union
men in Minnesota are so loyal
that if it came to a question of
either. joining an un-American
movement or quitting the labor
union, they would leave the union
and cling fast to their Ameri-
canism."
In the matter of loyalty the
farmers of Minnesota are no
whit behind the labor men, and
