M. S. Norelius, the big-brained pub
Usher Of the Chisago County Press, is
a worthy son Of a noble sire,-his
father, the late Rev. Doctor Norelius,
was beloved by the Scandinavians Of
Minnesota and the northwest and the
Union has frequently quoted from the
editorial columns of his paper. Here is
another excerpt from one of his ring
ing articles which is brimfuI of loyalty
and common sense:
c. A. Lindbergh's statement that
loyalty is not an issue in this cam
paign, should be taken with grain of
salt. In the light of his socialistic
utterances in recent book that he has
published, loyalty becomes quite an
issue after all. Indeed, loyalty is and
should be the only issue this time and
the people of this state are not going
back on a governor so splendidly loyal
as Mr.. Burnquist is. The loyal people
of Minnesota are not going to vote for
q man who questions our good reason
for being in this war, and are, ire
spective Of party lines, going to stand
back of governor who is heart and
soul with our national government in
the successful prosecution of the war.

Another big German drive is on and
the British and French have been
forced to give ground on the Aisne
front. The Germans claim to have
already captured $4,000 prisoners and
many guns. A Paris paper admits
that the Germans have advanced Is
miles. But this was to be expected, as
the Germans have made great prepare
tions and have massed their forces
against the weakest point in the AL
lies lines. Allied reserves are being
hurried up and it is confidently ex-
pected that the drive will be soon
checked.
American soldiers acquitted them
selves well on the front near Amiens
and captured Catingy from the Ger
mans; 200 Germans, including five
officers were also taken prisoners. The
Americans, it is stated, fought like
veterans and displayed great bravery
The allies are confident that their
lines will hold, but there is much I'M
easiness in Paris and London over the
outcome Of the desperate fighting.

Secretary McAdoo, director general
of railroads of the country, has issued
an order increasing freight and pas
senger rates on all railroads. The
freight rate increase will amount to
25 per cent, and goes into effect June
Is; the passenger rate has been in
creased from and 21a, cents to 8
cents per mile. The increase in wages
granted railroad employees, and the
urgent necessity of lettering the
physical condition of the roads, has
necessitated the increase in rates. The
public will Loyalty acquiesce in the
action Of Secretary McAdoo, but what
a howl would have gone up from the
demagogues all over the land if the
owners Of the railroads had even at
tempted to do what he has done, and
yet thinking people knew that under
existing conditions an increase in rates
was absolutely necessary.

The next few weeks will be a race
between Hindenburg and Wilson.
This is no time to organize campaigns
to harass the men who are in charge
of the destinies of nations. There
ought to be truce in such campaigns
at least until the offensive is over
Lloyd George in his Edenburg address.
This means, in thedrstplace, that the
result Of the coming German offensive
will depend largely upon the number
Of men the United States can put into
the fray; and, secondly, the a1lusion Of
the premier is to the Sim Feiners, the
I. w. w. and other kindred organiza-
tions which are carrying on campaigns
to retard the progress Of the allies.
While some Of these seditionists have
been convicted and jailed, this penalty
is not sufficiently drastic to deter the
organizations from continuing their
damnable work. An example should
set by turning a hundred or so of
them over to firing squad.

An announcement has been made by
Provost Marshal Crowder that after
July / all men within the draft age
not engaged in some useful occupation
will be compelled to apply themselves
to some form Of labor which will con-
tribute to the general good. Loafers,
gamblers, pugi1ists, wrestlers, store
clerks, elevator operators, bartenders,
pool hall attendants and many other
classes come within the amendment to
the selective service regulations. In
carrying out this order local boards are
instructed to summon before them reg
istrants not engaged in some useful oc-
cupation and, if satisfactory explana-
ftions are not Forthcoming, to induct
such men into the military service.
These men will not be permitted to
seek relief because of the fact that
they have been placed in class 2, 8 or
4 on the ground Of dependency. If for
no other reason than that the order
will compel idlers, pugilists, wrestlers,
gamblers, and other undesirables of
like stripe to earn honest livings, it
is good thing for the country. The
safety commissions of some states
have already put into practice orders
which are more drastic than that an
nounced by General Crowder, and il
would not surprise us to see Mime
sofa follow suit.

People Of Grand Forks are Disguised
with the action Of the Commercial
club Of that place for entering into a
contract with one W. J. Bryan to talk
patriotism for fee of $3.50 and are
circulating petition protesting
against hiring the spellbinder. The
citizens have acted rightly. AS pro-
fessed loyal American citizen and a
multi-millionaire Bryan has placed
himself in the lesser microbe category
by demanding pay for delivering a
patriotic address. But greed for filthy
lucre was always one Of the Nebras-
kan's failings. He has been character
lied silver-tongued orator, but his
tongue was never known to wag unless
the waggging was backed up by gold.
The soul of a man who exacts money
for the delivery of patriotic speeches
is, as our lamented friend Brann of the
Iconoclast once upon time remarked,
so diminutive that it would rattle in
the shell of a mustard seed.

P. w. Morrison of Norwood

P. w. Morrison of Norwood has
withdrawn from the congressional
race in the third district in favor Of
Chas. r. Pye. This leaves a straight
contest at the primaries between
Pye and Chas. R. Davis, repub-
licans. J. J. Farrell (democrat)
is unopposed. Hence, as one Of
the Charleys will have to be
cast aside, let us hope that he with
an anti-administration record be the
candidate to get the boot. "Pat" Nor
rison's withdrawal from the ballot
should go long way toward bringing
about this end. Both Pye and Farrell
are loyal Americans and there is no
reason why either should not make q
good congressman.

"Fiend of hell" a phrase applied by
one Of our exchanges to the boche
demons who bombed the British hos
pitfalls in France and slaughtered
wounded soldiers and nurses, is alto
gether too mild an expression. Were

small-tooth comb he would fail to
find monsters so barbarous that they
would destroy wounded soldiers and
women unless, of course, it be in that
particular cave of hell in which boches
who have committed similar atrocities
are confined. Nowhere in history are
such barbarities recorded as those per-
formed by the damnable Hunnish

In normal times it is perhaps all
right to doll up the natives Of central
Africa in pink shirts, pajamas, plug
hats, etc., but at this time they should
be compelled to practice conservation
the same as we have to do. Unfortu-
nately our climate does not permit us
to go around in "the altogether" but
the Philippians have no other excuse
than that of vanity for wearing a
particle of clothing. Besides we need
all the shirts, pajamas, etc., we can
spare for our poor unfortunate allies
in France. To take up collections at
this time for clothing savages is, in
our opinion, entirely out Of place.

MINNEsoTA's SCHOOL FUND.

. MINNESOTA'S SCHOOL FUND:
Party feeling ran, high in Minnesota
in the early days. When the states
constitution was being framed two
conventions convened one republican
and one democratic. But compro-
mise was effected and a splendid in
strument was drafted, and adopted by
the people, and that constitution
slightly amended, is the fundamental
law Of the state today.
One Of the results Of the wisdom and
foresight Of the sturdy, partisan pio-
1neers is Minnesota's magnificent per-
manent school fund, which will eventu-
ally, and in the not distant future, ex-
coed 100000, 900, and the constitution
provides that that fund "shall forever
be preserved inviolate and undimin-
ished." The income from the fund is
equitably apportioned to the public
schools Of the state twice yearly.
The following editorial paragraph
from the widely-read Youths Com
panion illustrates the well-deserved
reputation Minnesota has earned in
caring for her public school system:
The Companion has referred to the
foresight of Minnesota, which con-
tinued to hold the title to rich ore
lands instead Of selling them cheap, as
many states disposed of their valuable
domains. The public schools of Mime
sofa are now getting the benefit of
that wise action. The royalties from
the iron ore last year added $4,000
900 to the school fund which now
amounts to $39, 100000, and the state
treasurer estimates that within a
decade the fund will be fully $8O,O00,-
900.

will vote against Burnquist, because

Tuesday, June 10, is Good Roads
day. There should be an effort made,
especially in rural districts of the
state, for a more general observance
of the day this year than ever before.
The proper way to observe the day is
for the people of each community to
turn out and improve a stretch Of
road. The repairing of bad spot in
the road over which a farmer is obliged
to haul his products to market is OF
more practical benefit to him than q
ton Of political harangues.
