REGISTERING ALIENS.

The Minnesota Public Safety COM
mission has needlessly alarmed the
alien residents of this state in re-
curing them to make disclosure of
their personal and real holdings
when registering under the commits
sion's order.
When President Wilson required
all German subjects to register they
were not compelled to make any
statements as to their property
worth. The states order requires
all aliens to register except German
enemies. This includes our British,
French, Belgium, Polish, Serbian
and Russian allies as we'll as sub
jects of neutral countries.
The effect of the order is that
friendly and neutral allies are COM
PEELED to make disclosures to the
state, while German enemy aliens
are exempt from such requirement
either to the nation or state. 1t leads
our friends to believe that we are
discriminating against them in favor
of our enemies.
Then, too, many alien working
men, rather than disclose their hold
ings, are withdrawing their savings
from the banks and the postoffices,
and are leaving the state to seek en-
ployment in other states. Mining
companies and lum bermen in parti-
cular are suffering from this migra-
ton.
While aliens who are remaining in
the state are obeying the Public
Safety Commissions order, regard
ing it as a duty, yet little reason can
be advanced why they should be put
to this annoyance. 1t serves no ap-
parent military purpose. 1t creates
unnecessary suspicion, and it tends
to cause division among our people
when every effort should be made in
behalf of unity.

THE RAILROAD CONTROL BILL,

The United States senate has long
been called the American house of
lords, because Of its personnel and
the ultra-conservat1ve conception its
members have of social and econo-
milo reforms.
It is not difficult to obtain confir-
nation of these allegations, for one
need but read the discussions which
take place in the senate in the con-
sideration of almost any legislation.
The latest illustration is afforded
by the railroad control bill, which
was passed last Friday by the upper
house in the same form as reported
by the Interstate commerce commit
tee, with but one amendment, that
providing for the inclusion of the in
dependent short lines in the cate
CORY of call common carriers."' A
revolving fund o. five hundred mil
lion is created to meet the expenses,
and the roads will be returned to
private management eighteen
months after the war.
The question of compensation to
the railroad stockholders is the most
Objectionable. feature Of the bill, and
rs indicative of the solicitous regard
which the senate has for the big
business interests of the country.
When the government sells Lib
erty bonds it pays the purchaser
the small investor-4 per cent inter-
est, considered a fair return in war
time, when investors should render
service to their country. Consistency
demands that similar rate of inter-
ests should be given for the use of
capital in any form by the govern
kment.
+ The railroad bill as passed by the
.senate provides compensation to the
roads during the period of control
on the basis of the average earnings
for the three years prior to June 80,
1917, during which time profits
were stimulated by the war and were
exceedingly large. BY this plan the
larger roads will receive from 10 to
us per cent annually, while some OF
;the smaller lines will be paid 80, 40
land up to several hundred per cent.
One of the roads from Duluth to the
iron ranges will receive ia per cent,
Several amendments to the bill
were introduced by minority sena-
tors who claimed that the proposed
compensation was excessive by $780,.

IN which to work.
Organized labor has been the fight
ing force in state Legislatures and in
congress not only for labor but for
all men; it has compelled the passage
of laws to protect the health of the
workers; to take children from the
mill and factory and place them in
school; to limit the hours Of labor for
women and fix their wages above a
living wage, to prevent the loss OF
lives and limbs, and to compel the
payment for injuries to the body or
health. It has done this and more,
more than we can enumerate here.
Every time organised labor achieves
a victory it not only raisea the status
Of the union man and his family, but
Of the non-union man and his family
as we'll. And on the other hand when
q non-union man takes another work

the Germans will win any victory or,
indeed, do better than they did at Yer
dun, which was for them one OF the
greatest defeats of military history.
Recent events have served to teach
millions Of Englishmen and Frenchmen
the truth about the world situation, to
prove to them that they are fighting
and must fight the German ambition to
seize territories or enslave peoples
The war has come down to the naked
question of greed against self-defense.
And in such a combat / believe the
French will fight again as they fought
at the Marine and at Verdun. the Brit
ish as they fought at First Ypres.
I'VE are, it seems to me, bound to
have one more great military crisis, as
great as that of the Marine, perhaps.
although the Germans will have no
such odds in their favor in the spring
as they had in the autumn of 1914. But
if the Allied lines hold, if the Allied
peoples behind the lines stand firm,
then it seems to me the last great
campaign of the war will be over.
do not believe the German army or
the German people have the strength
or the spirit to make more than one
further assault like the two OF other
years which were repulsed.
IF Germany is defeated in her next
attack we shall have a real German
proposal for peace. proposal pased
upon the peace map of 1914. not the
war map of 1916 or 1917. 1t viii not be
satisfactory; it may not even be a
basis for negotiation. although be-
tlieve it may be, but it will be pro-
posal honestly made: that is, It will be
unlike the previous proposals when
were made to disarm the enemy and
deceive the German people. It will not
demand conquered territory: it will not
be accompanied by the familiar
threats"
Again Mr. Simonds says:
BY next year there will be. roughly
speaking, a million British. a million
French. and a million American troop,
on the Western Front, holding clearly
distinct sectors, although under closely
coordinated direction. And when this
situation arrives. the Germans will be
completely outnumbered on each sec
tor and for the balance of the war con-
dernneu TO lace superior NUMBERS Will
weaker forces on the line and incom-
parably weaker reserves behind 1t.
This, in a word. is the general scheme
of the Western Front. when we arrive
in full strength, and it is toward the
realization of this scheme that we have
now made the first move in definitely
taking over one sector. probably q vers.
small one, of the line between St.
AIihiel and Pont "a Mousson.'
