4 The labor council, representing Or
ganized labor, defines the attitude of
labor in case of war as follows: eve
hold this to be incontrovertable, that
the government which demands that
men and women give their labor pow
err, their bodies and their lives to it's
service should demand also the serv-
ice, in the interest of these human be-
ings, Of all wealth and the products
of human toil-property." This is
only fair. The Kansas City Star calls
attention to the fact that if we con-
script a soldier we conscript his in
come. We not only take him away
from his business and risk his life,
! but we saddle the payment of taxes on
him to pay the war debt if he is so
fortunate as to survive. This can. to
"a certain extent be remedied, and it
should be. The day of huge war
profits is passing. ,s4sy,, 4. ss.@S.s

The Anti-Saloon League has made
no friends by the attitude that it's
leaders have taken in the temperance
legislation which has been before the
lawmakers this winter, and it is quite
probable that it will lose many sup
porters that it has heretofore had.
A statutory prohibition law should
have been passed and it would have
been but for the league officers play
ing into the hands Of the wet crowd
and helping to. defeat it.-Glenwood
Times.
In view Of the fact that the voters
will pass on constitutional prohibition
at the next election, there is no reason
why statutory prohibition should be
enacted at this session. If prohibition
is to be a success, public, sentiment
must be behind it, and it is only right
and proper to let the people decide
for themselves.

Numerous applications for citizen
ship have been filed by persons Of leu
ton blood of late, and the city papers
see in this a wave of patriotism
sweeping over the country. But is it?
In case war is declared, citizens of
hostile nations, in this country, will
find themselves in an embarrassing
position. This may account, in part
at least, for the "wave of patriotism"

' Of late number of citizens have
wasted considerable time securing sig
natures to loyalty pledges. Members
of prominent New York German
club, when urged to sign one of these
pledges took it as an insult and stated
that their oath Of allegiance stood for
all time. And an insult it was. Then,
too, is there any reason to believe that
one who refuses to abide by his oath
Of allegiance will adhere to loyalty
pledge?

The Potato Situation.

Another quiet week on the Prince
ton potato market. Receipts have been
very, very light and there has been no
change in prices. About $3.50 is being
paid for all varieties except Triumphs,
which bring about $500.
The Chicago potato market remained
in good condition last week. Buyers
had protected themselves to some ex-
tent from the expected strike, but by
the middle of the week the market was
normal. Receipts ran light, which
was strengthening factor, although
seed stock was trifle easier.
Reports from various sections of
the country indicate that the 1917 po-
tato acreage will be larger than last
year, despite the high prices demand
ed for seed. This, Of course, will
have considerable bearing on prices
next fall. -.
The acreage planted to early pota-
toes in six southern states is estimated
to be $4,000 as compared with 1872
900 in 1916-an increase of about II
per cent. This estimate is based upon
reports to the Truck Crop Specialist
Of the Bureau Of Crop Estimates from
Virginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and
Texas, the principal early potato Sec
tons Of the south: In spite Of the
high cost Of seed, paintings are in
creased in practically all sections ex-
cept eastern Texas,
The potato acreage in the Louis
vile, Kentucky, district is also to be
increased. There has . been much
uncertainty among growers as to
the advisability of planting high
priced seed potatoes and taking
a chance on putting that much
money into the ground and through
lower prices or lack of proper
yield not getting it back. However
as the planting season approaches and
the fact is borne home more definitely
that there is such pronounced short.
age of potatoes that there may be ar
absolute famine before the new croI
comes in, this uncertainty is giving
way to a determination to plant to the
fullest possible extent for the frs
crop, at least.
! In northwest Washington farmer:

reports, and some Of them are ever

.RuM0RS OF SEPARATE

ceived by the Amsterdam bourse Ber-
lin is filed with rumors that Germany

Should Be Four Years.

Senator j. D. Sullivan of st. Cloud
has introduced a bill providing for the
submission of an amendment to the
constitution of the state making the
terms of judges Of probate courts four
years. This is to make their terms con-
form to those of other county officers,
and was up before the voters two
years ago. It seems to the Herald
that if the other county officials are
entitled to a four year term (and we
firmly believe they are) the Judge of
Probate most assuredly is. It is one
of the most important county offices
and new encumbent cannot possibly
hope to master the details Of the posi-
ton in less that four years, and this
fact should weigh in favor of the four
year term.-Chaska Herald.
