NO ROADS NO MAIL.

!! An impossible road caused the post
office department to discontinue rural
free delivery route in Freedom county.
But we will let the Albert Lea Times
Enterprise tell the story: ''
! Last September the road was con-
demned and the government mail
service discontinued. Immediately
the road supervisors got busy and put
the road in fine shape, But the horse
had been stolen. It was too late. Ever
since that time the local postmaster
has been working to have the route
continued and only today has his
efforts been rewarded. A message
from the department today says it will
be continued on September first next.
Now we learn a part of route three,
about mile and one-half southeast
of Hayward, has been condemned for
the same reason and the service will
be discontinued on September first
next. Without doubt it will take a
year and perhaps longer before the
patrons affected along this route will
enjoy this modern convenience.
We understand it is to be the policy
of the postal authorities hereafter to
discontinue all free delivery routes
where roads are not properly main
tanned, and when once route is dis
continued it will not be re-established
within year no matter if the road has
been improved, in the meantime.

Constituents Of Lundeen, the anti

resolutions and forwarded them to the

declaring him to be "unfaithful to
his country and demanding his resig-
nation forthwith so that the district

now upon it," Congressman Thos. D.
Schall, Senator w. A. Campbell, State
Auditor J. O. Preus and Representa-

dresses at the mass meeting which de-
nounced Lundeen. It would be our adj
vice to Lundeen to obey the demand
of his constituents and resign lest

pointed paragraphs in the Walker
Pilot, journal which he edited for II
years. AS state representative for

BETTER BIDE A WEE.

In another column there appears an
article entitled "Prohibition or Warp
from that high grade weekly, The
Outlook, which expresses our senti-
ments No one will accuse The Out
look Of being opposed to the cause of
temperance, but thac sterling maya
zine does not"approve of adding fuel
to the fires of discomfort and sedition
that are smoldering in many sections
of the country at this juncture. The
government has enough to contend
with already without springing an
other great contentious issue at this
crisis. That national prohibition will
eventually come is almost foregone
conclusion, but in the opinion of
thousands of the true friends of tenn
perance this is not the time to force
the issue. The business of the coun-
try at present is to win the war. And
in the language of The Outlook, we
hope that, in the interest Of the ma
TONS safety and welfare, the consid-
GRAFTON of national prohibition may
be postponed until the war has come
to an end.

Under plans which have been formu-
lated by the war department., British
and French army officers-specialists
in trench warfare be assigned
to training camps in the United States.
These experts will not come into direct
contact with the American troops, but
will act in the capacity of consulting
boards for the American officers, A
group Of eight or ten European mill
tary men will be stationed at each
training camp. The idea is good one,
as the troops will thus be able to be-
come familiar with trench work be-
fore being transported to France.

"What does Wilson's reply to the
Pope mean?"' is asked by many per-
son. The view generally entertained
by British diplomats is that it means
a fight to a finish, while French, Ital-
ian and American officials are of al sim
liar opinion. Well, fight to a finish
is the only way by which Prussian
militarism and kaiseritic autocracy
can be crushed, whether it takes three
months or three years to accomplish
it. So let us fight to a finish regard
less of the recommendation of paci-
fists.

It is an actual fact, says Copen-
hagen dispatch, that Norway and Swe-
den are on the verge of starvation.
These countries are now suffering from
a lack of foresight. When they pos
sessed food in plenty they sold it to
Germany, and now that they have
nothing left to sell the Germans are
helping themselves to the cargoes
which Norway and Sweden attempt to
ship in. In fact the Germans are do
ing worse than this-after Selling the
cargoes they are torpedoing the neu.
trails ships. It is nefarious treatment
but the neutral nations have no relief
in the premises. .s.Ss

The reichstag has given the kaiser
four weeks time to institute reforms
which it enumerates, and if the de-
mand is not complied with the majority
party will take steps to enforce it. 1t
would appear that Germany is on the
brink of serious internal disturbances
and unless the kaiser mends his ways
he is liable to find himself dethroned
and imprisoned in a fortress. This
would prove the best thing that ever
happened for the common people of
Germany.

The food administration committee
has fixed a price Of 1920 per bushel
for No. 1 northern wheat at Chicago.
The price at St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth will be three cents less. Differ
entails between grades and classes of
wheat and between primary markets
have also been specified. From the
prices set forth in the commissions
schedule is to be deducted the cost of
transportation and storage. It is ex-
pected that the action of the commits
sion will have the effect of reducing
the price Of bread. But-this remains

It seems that KingdOn Gould. !

It seems that Kingdom Gould, mil
ionaire, married on July 2 to evade
the draft and claims exemption upon
that ground. Gould belongs to that
class known as the cowardly rich. He
is an individual who owes much to his
country but who is putting forth an
effort to. evade paying any part of the
debt in that country. It would be I'M
just to grant him exemption. The
cowardly pup should be compelled to
either serve in the army or be con
signed to the rock pile in some peni-

A German newspaper says that the
kaiser carries steel-armored bible in
his inside pocket directly over his
heart. In the first place it has been
our impression that the kaiser does
not possess heart, and in the second
that he never approaches the battle
front so closely that there is ever any
danger of an enemy being able to
"draw a bead" on him. Now, if Bill
Hohenzollern is such a chum of the
Lord as he pretends to be, why is it
necessary for him to encase his bible
in armor? -

Up at Chisholm the public has been
notified by the school board that no

teachers in that city. From this it is
to be concluded that heretofore aliens
have been engaged to teach pupils in

was permitted we do not know, but it
is poor policy at any time, whether or
not we are at war. There are plenty
of American teachers in the country,
