Terrific Forest Fires
In Northern Minnesota

The worst forest fires ever re-
corded in the history Of northern
Minnesota, was reported in press
dispatches last Sunday and Mon
day. The biggest fires were in
the neighborhood of Duluth and
Superior, and extending west over
200 miles. Scores of towns were
wiped out and thousands of people
driven from their homes by the
seething flames. Reports are that
nearly a thousand people have
perished, and property loss totals
millions of dollars. The heaviest
loss of life was at Moose Lake
where it was estimated that more
than 300 people had died as the
result of the devasting forest fires.
On Wednesday considerable
smoke was noticed in this section
which must be from the fires of
northern Minnesota. Last reports
were that most of the fires were
now under control

Wheeler Quits In
Walsh's Interests

Washington, October, g. United
States District Attorney B. X.
Wheeler resigned today, charging
that Anaconda Copper Mining
company is bounding him. He said
that he quit to satisfy friends of
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh, who be-
lieved that if he continued in office
the democrats would lose a seat in
the senate. The resignation of
MI. Wheeler ends a long-drawn-out
controversy, which was endanger-
ing Senator Walsh. Several
months ago Senator Walsh recon-
mended Wheeler for reappoint-
ment, and the attorney general
sent the recommendation, with his
approval, to the president.
Senator Myers, supported by
many protests against Wheeler's
retention in office, served notice
that he would oppose the confirm
alton of Wheeler. He asked the
president to name some other
man. The nomination was never
sent in by the president. Those
who opposed Wheeler charged
him with pandering to the Nom
partisan league and neglecting to
prosecute |. w. w. officials who
were charged with sabotage and
other crimes.

To Hell with the Kaiser" the
son-of-a-gun,
He dared us a round in a fight,
Well lick him as sure as God
reigns supreme,
For he will give US the courage
and the might.
They have cut off the hand of
many a child,
They have cut out the tongues OF
our men,
Well show them whether our
boys are dough
And set them back in their own
filthy pen.
We are fighting with food and to
the limit with bonds,
To help the boys at the front,
We are going to smash with
every dash.
Till they're all driven back across
the pond.
Liberty, loyalty, justice and
freedom
Has been our standard always,
We've got them on the run, the
miserable heartless Hun,

His administration can better be
supported by those who believe
n it and trust it then by those
who are constantly eager to make

our purpose to supply the admin
stration in our nominees with

harmony with it, not merely be-
.ause we are at war and must
tand behind the only common in
tnumentality through which we
an win it, but also because the
administration has deserved our
onfidence by its record.
a. Our purposes look also be-
-ond the period of the war. We
ecognize that the war must of

7. We must seek to avoid in
the future the conflicts between

all too frequent in the past, and
must seek to do SO by measures

hitherto not attempted. The

ton precedent to harmonious

made for the settlement of all
questions upon the single basis of
fairness and justice.
8. The whole industry of The
country must be dealt with In the
most liberal and enlightened
manner. Raw materials and all
essentials like coal and

accessible to all upon equal and

sources of the country must be
