Marked copies Of The Dakota Free Presse OF
Aberdeen are coming TO The Forum office.
They contain an editorial explanation of the re-
cent raid the office Of the paper and the arrest
Of the editor and the publisher.
The writer sets forth that the charge against the
prisoners is the failure to file TRANSACTIONS Of two
articles appearing in the newspaper, while the editor
also is charged with wearing al iron ring bearing a
pro-Gernan inscription
1t is frank enough statement Of the case, on the
face of it, and it contains full dcnia! Of any pro-
German sympathics, together with an appeal for Il
more sympathetic understanding of the German born

.TROTZKY. HIS VIEW

If Trotzky's purpose is honestly and reliably set
forth in his book, ''Thc Bosheviki and World
Peace the American public, generally speaking
has the wrong view of the man and his aims.
According to Author Trotzky the crux Of the
Bolshevk doctrine is The industries for the work
ingmen; the land for the PEASANTS and it must be
admitted that there is whole lot Of thought along
that line in America and not little attempted
though perhaps Indirect, legislation. We have, at
least, got as far as government regulation of the
wages, hours working conditions and ages Of the
working classes. We, at least, have acknowledged
the vciousness Of large land holding and the injus-
tice of our system Of taxing lands.
But, if Trotzky is misunderstood by u.s. he is
equally mistaken in us, since he proclams that our
purpose in this is but to suppIant imperial api-
taism Of our own. Trotzkys American experience
was confined to the lowest stratum of the metropolis
and, naturally he got 10 view Of America
Capitalism all over the world is getting the
screws put to it, In Great Britain and France war
taxation, alone, bids fair to eliminate capitalism as
governmental power or dominating influence In
our own country, government has taken over bodily
the greatest industry carth-thc American rail
roads. 1t is a deatf-bow to political domination of
very strong element Of capitalism. Our govern
ment holds the banks in one hand and runs them
with the other: 1t has begun to put war cost and
peace cost on the shoulders best able to carry the
burden. 10 complete this labor is harder in America
than in other countries for the simple reason that
in America the average Of content is highest We're
slow about overtlrnlng the auocracy of capitalism
but steady. Every move we've made in this war
has been blow upon the shackes that capitalism
has put upon our industrial, economic and political
life. -

For several weeks this city has been held firmly
in the bitter blast Of a most severe winter. Ihoil-
sands Of persons scarcely lett their homes at all
Those who were compelled to be on the streets never
tarricd a moment longer than necessary. with
temperature standing at zero frequently and with
biting winds chilling to the very marrow, there
was emo place ike home" And even home was
often uncom Portable with coal scarce and coal cellars
nearly empty.
And during all this weather, through streets
often knee deep in snow, with ice undcroot and the
wind often blowing blizzard, street ncwsboys and
route carriers stuck bravcIy to their task OF serving
Jointly the newspapers and the reading public.
Every morning, long before 80 per cent Of the
people had left their beds, the ncwsboy began his
long trudgc through the winter darkness. And every
evening" while other people were looking forward
to long hours Of coy comfort in front OF the home
fires the newsboy went bravely Oh his way, doing
patiently and conscicntousy his part in the world
work. Never faltcrng, never complaining, these
manly boys went through with what they had set
themselves to do.
1t is Of such boys that the successful men of the
future made 1t is just as true today as it was
in the day it first spoken: " He that is faithful
in that which is least is faithful also in much.
Thus the "Ittle seldicrs'' who so valianty deficd
the hardships Of their work during this terrible win
ter and so successfully performed their important
duty have b,,ilded for themselves a character 'of
faithful dependence which will stand them in good
stead in that not far distant day when they lay
aside their bOyhOOd and come into man estate.
This paper takes off it's hat to the newsboys and
carriers-in and out of the city. ~

The president was interrupted by
applause at every reference to the

against a patched up peace. Prob

TOWN DUDES-0R PRUSsIAN CUTTHROATs7
IAN Editorial by the U. S. Department of
Apricu1ture

don t want any city dudes coming out sky
larkng around my place and trying to do farm
work, some farmers said last year. 81 want ex-
perlenced help and if can't get that-wcll won t
have these town people who don't understand farm
ing"
In that connection let's review a few facts. We
must increase our food crop production or lose the
war. There is shortage of skilled farm labor After
we have applied most effectively all the experienced
farm help that is available and after we give to high
school boys courses in farm work, by classes this
winter and training camps next spring, there will
continue to be a shortage of experienced farm help
inevitably then we must use some unskilled farm
labor or fail to increase food production. And
failing to increase food production may losing
the war. Losing the war will mean attempted and
perhaps actual Prussian occupation Of the United
States.
So, which will be worse-to have some of the
town people working on the farm this summer, or to
have the kaiser savages there few summers hence

Saturday Euening Letter
By Justice J. E. Robinson

between the two families. To wipe
out the disgrace to his sister defend
ant concluded TO make q general kill
ing OF the Hins family.
Accordingly on the afternoon of
December 18th, he took his five-shOOt-
CT and went TO the Hins place, shot
the old man three times, the mother
once, and then fatally shot the young
man, Valentine Hins. Then he re-
loaded his fve-shooter and tried to
get into the bouse but they parleyed
with him and held him out till he put
down his revolver. The father said
TO him: John, are you drunk or what
is the matter with your The answer
was: q am as sober as you" to other
questions he answered: well, we are
MuelIers Yes, we decided three
months ego that we were going to do
this 70 YOU .-.
When let into the house he relent.
ed and asked forgiveness for, the
shooting and said, he would give a nil
lion dollars if he had not done it. De.
PENDANT took one of the Hins' horses,
rode TO his home, told what he had
done and then the Muellers at once
hitched up and drove to the Hins
place. ~
There was showing that defendant
had suffered injuries to his head and
that he was subject to fits and to
extremes of uncomfortable passion.
Still the friends and neighbors do not
remember OF his having fits and he
had no fits during a period Of eight
months that he was in jail before the
trial.
1t may we'll be conceded that de-
PENDANT was not in proper and nor
NAL condition at and prior to the
time Of the shooting and that it is his
misfortune as we'll as his fault il he
is subject to uncomfortable passion
which throws him into fits and impels
him to commit crime. However, he
may we'll be thankful that he does not
have to hang by the neck for so grave
a crime and that our states prison is
in reality reformatory where by
good conduct he may learn to think
and control his passions and reduce
the term Of his sentence to twenty
years.
Certain it is that defendant has
shown himself to be a very unsafe
member Of society. He has had fair
trial. The question of his insanity
has been fairly submitted to the jury
and they have found against him.
There is no occasion for this court to
repeat or to argue the convincing tes-
tinony; but even if there were any
doubts, which there is not court
should hesitate long before releas-
ing one who has shown himself to be
very dangerous person and wholly
unworthy Of civil liberty. Judgment
affirmed.

ing"-the kultural kind-the kind poor Belgium
knew, and now knows?
After ALL thinking the matter over, we see there
are worse things than having to use some lnexper-
enccd farm labor this spring and summer.
Of course, every farmer would prefer to have all
his help experienced III farm work. And the United
States department Of agriculture the United States
department Of labor. the state agricultural colleges.
and other agencies cooperating in efforts to make
available just much experienced farm help pos
sible But the point is that after all the skilled help
is obtained that be obtained there is just one
PATRIOTIC philosophic. inevitable thing to do-lse
some inexperienced help and increase our crop pro-
duction despite all handicapS.
The shortage of skilled farm labor is not caused
entirely by men Of farm training having entered mill
tary service. Among farmers, as among every class
Of patriotic Americans. thousands Of men volun-
ecrcd for the army and navy and, Of course others
were called to the coIors under the selective plan
But in addition to this there we're still other thou
sands OF farm workers who went to munitions plants

industries were seeking at high wages. The
practical suspension Of imlil grafton for than
three years is the chief cause Of labor shortage.
Last year, III many communities all over the

work or for harvesting. These men who had had
farm experience were satisfactory workers. but often
farmers were cxaspcrated and inpatient with the
grcenness Of some Of those who had never worked
on farms before. And that is perfectly natural. But

the reflection that unskiIlcd farm laborers will

URGED TO DENOUNCE
ALL DISLOYAL ACTS

If you know persons guilty of sus-
picious and disloyal acts or manifes-
tations of sympathy for the enemy, It
is your duty to report it. Spies work
il many different ways, and your re-
port may result in the apprehension
of dangerous foe.
A statement issued from headquar-
tiers of the southeastern department in
Charleston points out that many loyal
Americans fail to report such occur
rences because of uncertainty as to
the proper official to approach. The
following has been received by The
Times-Recorder from headquarters of
the department:
"It is very important that the gov
eminent should have the assistance or
all citizens in detecting enemy propa-
ganda or suspicious activities of indi-
viduals, and you will do a service in
notifying your friends that any COM
munication addressed to Intelligence
officer, Headquarters Southeastern De-
partment, Charleston, S C." will re-
ceive attention and be transmitted ta
the proper official of the government
for investigation. The names Of in
formants will not be divulged and
there need be no fear on the part of
anybody getting into trouble IN
case suspicious prove to be unfounded.
"Informants should indicate the ma
ture and source of their information,
as we'll as the time and place"
