Demagogues pirate Of lack Of patri-
otism among the well to do, and that
when war comes, the poor man must
do the fighting and suffer all the hard
ships. Such has not been the case
in the British Isles. Among the first
to volunteer there were the sons of
the wealthy classes, and almost every
young man Of fighting age in The
great universities Of England and
Scotland has enlisted either in the
army or navy. The same is true Of
Canada and of this country The coll
leges and universities are furnishing
more than their quota Of brave young
fellows, and men Of wealth and edu-
cation are offering their services
daily. Here in this country, under the
terms Of the selective CONSUMPTION
act, all men are placed on the same
level, and wealth win not exempt any
one the son Of multi-millionaire
and the son of a day laborer may be
touching elbows in the same company.

& "Foes of Burnquist Will Meet in
June to Pick Opponent" is the cap
ton that appeared over column of
political dope in the Pioneer Press the
other day. The gist Of the story is
that a number of the republican
*leaders'' in northern Minnesota have
grievances against Governor Burn
quist, that they will meet and hold
a pow WOW at Senator P. H. McGarry's
summer resort on the shores of Leech
Lake some time next month, and
then and there pick a candidate for
governor who will be agreeable to
them and whom they will support at
the primary election a year hence. If
republican cannot be found who:iis
willing to-enter the race against Mr..
Burnquist, then the bosses will throw
their support to Judge Stanton, or some
| other serviceable democrat, and elect
him. The story is amusing but it is
| rather fshy.

the governor. The state auditor has
never appointed surveyors general.

SUPPRESS CIR AIN GAMBLERS.

5topreyent5 grain yan1bl ing dealing IN
future failed, and why For1I|
the reason That the grain gamblers!
have their wide-awake sentativessl
in the legislature at.every session, and,
they are expert manip ulators. These
tools Of the grain gamblers generally
pose as moral reformers and enters''
into deals and combination to put,
through the most radical and drastic:
measures; a few Of them will pretend
to oppose sumptuary legislation, and
all Of them range up with the ennis.
saries Of other big interests.
The result is that no legislation is
placed on the statute books that would
curb the operations Of the grain
gamblers, and they continue to rob
both the producer and consumer, and
live in luxury. 80
It may be that national legislation
will be required to eliminate the grain
gamblers, for one Of the most potent
arguments advanced by their repre-
sentatives in this state is, that if deal
ing in futures should be prohibited in
Minnesota, it would simply mean that
the grain gamblers would transfer
their operations to Chicago.
Nevertheless we believe that the
suppression Of grain gambling in this
state would result in great benefit to
the farmers, and would pave the way
for similar legislation in other states,
and probably force action by congress.
In this connection the following
editorial from the St. Paul Pioneer
Press-a newspaper supposed to be
| not unfriendly to the big interests
significant: - $50.
|It can be done; it is done. Boards
of trade, notified that Federal action
would be taken unless gambling in
the unharvested grain crops Of the
country were stopped, have shown
that trading of this sort can be reg
ula+ed. They have shown that rule
placing maximum price on the trad
ing in futures has had a relaxing
effect and that all prices, under the
influence Of this restriction, have
crawled back toward the normal. It
has been proved by the experiment
that unrestricted trading in futures
is the direct cause of artificial in
fation in values. It has been dem
onstrated that the wheat market can
| get along without this carnival of
gambling in the peoples necessities
and that millions Of dollars can be
prevented from being drawn from
the pockets Of the people to the bank
accounts of the spectators. 49,, r.
CHOW that all these things have
been shown, why not make the re.
striction permanent? Why not forev-
er. protect the farmers labor and the
peoples food from the parasites anc
leeches who produce nothing and &C:
complish nothing except to-slevys sar
arbitrary tax on the general. public
War is teaching us many lessons. Arr
we going to accept and apply the les
son of the Monte Carlos in Mime:
apolis and Chicago?" u
If the suppression Of gambling il
grain is necessary and beneficial as {
war measure why would it, not b.
equally beneficial in time Of peace. a:
