ASTOUNDING AND IMPOSSIBLE.

Minnesota loyalty is too aghast and astounded at
the ntimation that Charles A. Lindbergh is to be
appointed to the government war service to be
willing to believe it possible. If it should be verl-
fied-f Lindbergh is to take his book, "Why Is
Your Country at War;" under his arm and march
into the service of the war he has discredited,
then Minnesota loyalty will be wholly nonplussed.
It will wonder what is to become of truth, loyalty
and devotion-wonder what is the dividing line
between ardent patriotism and damaging pacifsm
wonder whether enthusiastic war support is at
a discount at Washington and opposition at a
premium.
1T is understood" says the Geographic report,
''that the Nonpartsan league (Which means the
Towney machine only) through George Creel
chairman of that mysterious dispensation known
as the Committee on Public Information) has been
urging the appointment" This makes it worse
and worse This gives it the additional sinister
appearance of socalistic attempt to break into
the War Industries board Creel is suspected Of
strong Bolsheviki leanings and his connection with
the Townley machine, itself rank with socialism,
in an effort to plant Lindenburgh in government
war position, seethes with suspicion that cannot
be dissipated
The government could not inAict upon itself a
more damaging blow in the estimation of public
opinion in Minnesota than in the appointment of
Lindbergh to the position and through the iniu-
ence indicated. 1t is not necessary to go further
than his infamous book. The administration
knows this attack upon the war; Congress knows
it. The administration might overlook his recent
Reputation by Minnesota as a candidate of the
Townley machine with loyalty as the issue-poli-
tics will produce singular situations and combina-
tons sometimes-but how it could overlook that
book cannot be fathomed. 1t is probable that

to the national cause and supporting the govern
ment with patriotic sincerity, will not permit the
book to be overlooked-St Paul Dispatch.

By this do not mean to infer that there are not
as many loyal democrats as republicans.
Montana has shown her loyalty on every issue
of true Americanism which has arisen since the
country became engaged in war, and inasmuch
las Miss Rankin chose the other side the defeat
she has sustained has demonstrated that the eyes
of the people are open and they are not to be

WITH THE EDITORS
A REBUKE TO WOBBLYISM.

At this writing appearances indicate very
strongly that DR.. O. NJ Lanstrum has received the
nomination of the candidate of the republican
party for the office of United States senator.
The Argus is frank to say that the returns are
peasurably surprising it feared that with three
loyal candidates running for this office none of
them would be successful and that the nomination
would go to jeanette Rankin, who forced herself
upon the republicans of the state as candidate
on that ticket
What DR.. Lanstrum's plurality is not even to be
estimated at this writing, but whatever his vote
may be there must be added to it every vote which
Judge Nichols and Harry H. Parsons received in
totaling up the voters of the state who desired to
administer rebuke to bolshevikism pacifsm and
Townleyism, al of which were represented in the
candidacy of Miss Rankin. In other words the
votes Of Lanstrum, Nichols and Parsons must be
totalled in order to arrive at the strength of the
loyal voters Of Montana, in the republican party.

THE PURPOSE OF REGISTRATION.

The purpose of the registration tomorrow
is not to render persons liable to military service
That liability exists already and congress has the
right to say how and when men may be called
on for the service to which all men of military
age are liable The registration is sort of CEN
sus of the man-power of the country. BY means
of it the government ascertains how many men
there are in the country between certain ages,
and ascertains certain facts with reference to
them On the basis of this information is selects
from the entire number those who may most
properly be called into actual service first, and it
groups the others into various classes according
to availability.
With the exception of persons already in the
service of the United States in certain designated
military or civil capacities, all male residents must
register, and must answer the questions which
are propounded on the registration blanks. That
being done, the rest will be handled by the ap-
pointed agents of the government
It cannot be too strongly urged that every per-
son within the prescribed ages, Is to As, inclusive,
present themselves at their polling places and reg
lister as prescribed by law. To fail to do this will
be to incur penalties, and failure to register will
in no sense avoid military liability. The indivd-
ual who fails to register in addition to subecting
himself to fine or imprisonment, or both, will,
when detected, be registered in any case and he
will have impaired his standing citizen by his
failure.

centage of the increase was grabbed
by the landlords. Read the follow

AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR
ON THE QUESTION OF EDUCATION
Principles Declared American Federation Labor Thirty
seventh Annual Convention Buffalo, New York. November
1924, 1917:

urged that in view of the enactment
of the Smith Hughes bill as an edu-
catonal measure of outstanding i'm
rortance, affiliated bodies are urged
to see that their respective states
quality for participation in the avail
ability of funds for the above pur
poses. 1t is urged that safeguards
should be provided to adequately
guarantee that the federal funds shall
benefit genuinely democratic educa-
ton and not be diverted to prevert
industrial education to the purposes
of exploitation. The convention de-
clared the chief safeguard to be equal
representation of organized labor and
employers on all boards, state and
local, which control the expenditures
of such funds.
We urge increased facilities in pub
lie normal schools for men and wo-
men in the trades who desire to pre-
pare themselves for teaching indus
trial and vocational subjects. The
convention made the following dec
laration:
Vocational and pre-vocational train
ing whenever given shall be for ed
ucational purposes only, and under
no circumstances shall it be COM
mercialized through the manufacture
of products for sale.
We insist that in all courses of
study and particularly in industrial
and vocational courses, the privileges
and obligations of intelligent citizen
ship must be taught more vigorously
and effectively than has been done
in the traditional civics.
And we further insist that at least
in all vocational and industrial
courses, an unemasculated industrial
history must be taught, which will
include an accurate account of the
organization of the workers, and of
the results thereof, and will also
include summary of all legislation,
both State and Federal, affecting the
industries taught.

of industrial competition, is fading

Japanese competition for he believes
that it will not be long until the
Japanese manufacturer must meet
the American manufacturer upon
more nearly equal grounds.
The Japanese peril never did exist
to any alarming extent. There never
was any danger of war between the
two nations and Japan never stood
any chance of robbing the American
manufacturer of his trade. There is
a place in the sun for both the
United States and Japan, and they
will find their places. The American
workman can hold his own against
all the world as he has been holding
it, and Japan was never so foolish
and will never be so foolish as to
run the risk of losing her best GUS
toner. The United States takes
rs per cent of Japan's exports, and
the willy little fellow from across
the Pacific understands what that
means.
