In the following interesting ex-
elusive article Gov. J. A. A. Burn
quist of Minnesota discusses for the
International News Service the
Scandinavian element in American
life, and shows why il is a source of
important strength:
BY j. \. A. BuTnquist
Governor of Minnesota.
The people of Scandinavian
birth or descent in Minnesota and
other northwestern states are one of
the greatest factors in the progress
of this section of the United
States. They were pioneers in the
settlement Of the west and they are
doing pioneer work in all progress
i've legislation.
The Scandinavians came 10 Amer
lea in large numbers after the close
OF our civil war. The majority Of
the immigrants came TO the states
in the middle west. They came
partly because they thought their
opportunities for material advance
ment were better here than in the
old country. but more because they
liked the liberty afforded here, be-
cause it gave them better opportu-
mites for education and a greater
participation in the government.
From the beginning they have
taken an active interest in local,
state and national government
Wherever they have settled they
have quickly established schools
and churches. They have given lib
eral support TO our public schools,

Editor News-Times.
There has been much interest
shown recently among vocal and in
strumental musicians Of South Bend.
A beneficial attraction could be
added by setting apart one day an
nually for amateur musicians.
An opportunity could be given
them TO exhibit original music man
uscripts and render them on various
musical instruments at a public
gathering on the amateur musicians
day, which would probably result
in much expression and develop
ment Of original musical ideas. and
be instructive 10 all concerned.
An occasional evening contest
could be arranged for amateur mu-
sicians. Yours truly.

EDUCATION IN BONDS.

For its assured success the Liberty bond
issue must depend on the small investor. These
bonds are issued in as small denominations as
fifty dollars and thus will be in reach of great
number Of our people who have never before
considered buying bond, and whose acquaint-
ance with bonds does not give them intimate
knowledge of what a bond really is, or how
this security is operated. When Jay Gould
undertook to sell government bonds in civil
war days he inaugurated a great newspaper
publicity campaign in which he set forth in
simple form the information needed to make
any intelligent person understand what he or
she bought when bond was purchased, and
what the proceeds of the transaction were to be-
This nation IS public is much greater now and it
is quite probable that, despite the news public
ity given to bonds there is the same proportion
of ignorance about them that prevailed in Jay
Gould's time. 1t would be worth considera-
ton by the government whether an advertising
campaign of education about bonds would not
be valuable enterprise to conduct in floating
its great enterprise.

TRUE ECONOMY.

There is right economy and a wrong econ
omy false economy and true, declared the
noted merchant and fnancier John Wanna
maker, in an appeal just issued to the country.
The economy which is patriotic and proper
will eliminate waste, conserve our products,
our wealth, health and energies and put more
intelligence and efficiency into our work The
false economy, fatal to US now, would be to low
er our standard Of living and by boarding and
pessimism to bring business depression and in
dustrial stagnation on the land.
This will not cause hard times. It will
put billions Of dollars into circulation and make
a better market than ever before for the wealth
workers produce he -hllion-dollar
loan will all be spent here, set at work here
and ought at a low estimate to add four hun
dred and twenty millions annually to our ma
tional wealth. Our true policy is to keep bust
ness going, to keep improvements in progress,
to keep money in circulation, to keep every
body employed. There is no reason for appre-
hension in the fact that the American people
are taking seven billion dollars, most of which
was idle, and putting it into business in MANY
lines, into farming into making tools, clothing,
ships, machines and other articles for which
there is great demand both here and abroad
Every dollar the individual pays out, says Mr..
anamaker, will come back to him with in
serest IN the general prosperity of the people.
