We're Not Playing Politics

The Farimont Sentinel mildly re.
Dukes the lie Sueur News for the man.
ner in which it treats those members
of congress who chose to vote as they be-
lieved to be right on the war question.
The News would have them treated with
contempt, and closed it's item with the
statement that, "they preferred to play
politics rather than do their duty .
The Sentinel truthfully says the idea
is utterly absurd. The six senators,
and fifty members of the lower house
"played anything but politics" Had
they been seeking popularity they GER
tainly would have scurried to the popu-
lar side, flinging conscience to the wind,
as some of those who voted for war no
doubt did. Another truth voiced by
the Sentinel is: 4ss 60

legislature could have done any better,
and is not deserving Of the hard words
that are being written about it.
The house has shown better Judgment
in many ways than the actions OF the
senate. The alleged stubbornness Of the
upper branch came near causing the
necessity Of calling an extra session.
This was when, on the day before adj
journment, that body again refused to
pass the appropriation for the state
schools, and it was after long argument
that it saw ftto do it's duty in this
matter, and the expense of the ex ra
session was thus avoided.

Those Legislative Appropriations

AS has already been noted in the news
columns of all the state papers the llegis-
lature, which finished it's work and ad-
journed slast Thursday afternoon, broke
all records in the amount of moneys ap-
propriated. This will, and in fact al
ready has, called forth considerable ad-
verse criticism on the part Of the press
and others. Much of this comment,
however, is hardly justifable under the
circumstances. Every one knows the
legislature is guilty Of enough omissions
and commissions without anything UNI
just being said about it.
If any part of the legislative body is
to blame for the large amount of money
to be expended during the next two
years it is the upper branch 1t was the
senate which failed to make the nee
cessary provisions for the support ct
the state high schools two years ago, and
as it is composed Of the same members,
they are wholly to blame for the need OF
more than $1,00O,000 Of this years ap-
propriations. While the law provides a
certain fixed sum for the maintenance
of these schools the 1915 senate abso-
lutely refused to pass the necessary bill
making the money available, although it
passed the house. The result was that
during this session the deficiency had tc
be made good.
Then there came the army appropria.
ton bill of $1,ooo,ooo, approximately
half Of which will 60 to the state troops
while on the Mexican border.
The increased cost Of running thu
state institutions also called for much
larger appropriations. &

The following, from an exchange, so
faithfully pictures the true situation

"A dry goods merchant was starting
down town when his wife reminded him
OF the most important duty during the
day: Nov my dear, be sure and send to
the city for that new Stanhope so we
can have it for Sunday. You know the
old buggy is getting SO that it is not fit

Gust few blocks away the merchant
who handles vehicles and implements
was sitting at breaksfat with his family.
The conversation drifted around to the
near approach of school,. And that
reminds me, John, said the lady who sat
at the head of the table, I must be going
to the city not later than next week.. I
must get school clothes and see about a
suit for myself, and while there I might
as well see about a new rug for the parlor
and some lace curtains for the front win

An hour or two later a leading grocer
stepped into the bank to buy a draft
which he was going to send to catalog
house for bedroom suite.
How is business? asked the banker.
oh, not so very good. replied the grocer,
sthinUc GRO dill i,,et now,
Before the banker finished writing
dapper young fellow with grip stepped
up and asked how everything was. The
banker seemed glad to see him. He was
the representative Of big printing es-
tablishment in another state. He and
the banker chatted pleasantly for a few
minutes, after which the young man
inquired casually of his friend behind
the windowif he wanted anything. Well
yes replied the banker, I believe
lido. Print up 5000 drafts, 5000 checks,
and couple thousand letter heads.
''The young man thanked his friend
cordially and hustled out.
That night the local business men had
a meeting at the town hall to discuss
the evil of the mail order growth.
.'All the gentlemen mentioned in the
above narrative delivered short talks.
They agreed that the farmers were guilty
of treason to home merchants when they
persisted in buying goods from the mail
order houses, and the meeting closed by
adopting strong resolutions against trad
ing away from home.'

of the village have signed a contract for

the entire expense lot Of hustling will

Would CwrtaJ Freedom OF Press

SUPPRESSION Of the freedom of the
press is contained in the espionage bill
before congress-, and which is very liable
to pass both branches of that body.
The opposition to the vicious features
of the bill are uniting in an effort to save
one of the rocks upon which this nation
was founded, bus it may be too late to
be effective.
In this fight some militarists are CO.
operating with the pacifsts in an at
tempt to defeat the evil features of the
bill, although it may be somewhat late
in the proceedings for their efforts to be
effective. The New York Times, a
strong war advocate, realizes the dan
gers inherent in the espionage bill and
is making a vigorous fight against it.
At hearing before the House judiciary
committee, the members were asked to
state definately whether clauses in the
bill would forbid certain activities in the
public interest. They said they did not

learn whether, as head of the Woman's
Peace Party, she might urge on organi-
cations in other countries discussion of
methods to make peace permanent after
the war. Gilbert E. Roe showed how
inefficiency and dishonesty could be
protected from exposure under the clause
forbidding the spread of any state
ment which might "cause disafection."
No one objects to clauses forbidding
espionage, but the parts directed against
free discussion have nothing to do with
that. According to the report of the
meeting in the New York Evening Post
the members of the committee seemed
impressed by the objections made. Yet,
in spite of this they seem reluctant to
eliminate the unneceassry and danger
