WEBSTER'S REPLY
TO HAYNE.

When my eyes shall be turned
to behold for the last time the sun
in heaven, may l not see him shin
ing on the broken and dishonored
fragments of a once glorious Union;
on states discovered, discordant,
belligerent; on a land rent with
evil fueds, or drenched, it may be,
in fraternal blood! Let their last
feeble and lingering glance rather
behold the gorgeous ensign of the
Republic, now known and honored
throughout the earth, still full high
advanced, it's arms and trophies
streaming in their original lustre,
not a stripe erased or polluted,
bearing for it's motto no such mis-
cradle interrogary as what is all
this worth % nor those other words
of delusion and folly Liberty first
and Union afterward," but every
where spread all over with charact-
ers of light. blazing on all it's ample
folds, as they float over land and
sea, and in every mind under the
whole heavens, that other senti-
r1ent, dear to every American
heart-Ldberty and union now and
forever, one and inseparable.

London. March 1.-THE bodies OF
Mrs. Lena Guilbert Ford, an American
poetress, and her son, about 80 years
old, were discovered today in the

FORGET BENEFITS,

The comptroller o. the currency re-
| Gently revoked the authority he had
| previously given for the organization
OF national bank on the ground
that the applicants for the charter
for bank, although men of means,
had subscribed practically nothing to
the Liberty Loans.
The application for a charter was
in proper form, and these applicants
were men of wealth; so far as legal
and material qualifications were con-
cerned the granting of the charter
was justified.
But when it was ascertained that
these wealthy applicants for a char
ter to do banking business under
the protection and cooperation of the
United States government had out of
their great wealth purchased only
5000 worth of Liberty bonds anon;
them, Comptroller Williams prompt
ly revoked his approval of the appli-
cation. They will have no national
bank.
The right and justice of the comp
troller's action will be heartily in
dorsed by every true American citi-
zen. These men present tpical case
Of getting all possible from the gov
eminent and rendering as little re-
turn as possible.
Yet the individual American citi-
zen, whether native or foreign born,
who from the soil of this country or
from the opportunities this country
has offered him has amassed money
and property, and who in this time
OF war and necessity refuses to do
| his part in financing his country, is
not one whit better than these appli-
cants for a natioal-bank charter. He
is acting on the same principle, and
II he differs from these would-be
national bankers, he differs only in
degree, not in kind.

The daily press is enjoying itself
immensely by pointing out the fact
that while testifying last week before
q senate committee President Townley
of the Nonpartisan league stated that
the league had purchased only $4,000
worth of Liberty bonds. Several
senator's said this was small amount
when it is considered that the league
has $4,000 members, each of whom
paid an initiation fee of SIS. Will
some onf kindly inform us the
amount invested in bonds by the two
political parties, especially the Re-
publican organization IN this state,
which processes to have monopoly
on patriotism. OF course it's members
don't contribute SIC each, but the
special interests provide several
thousands as their bit toward making
the state safefor big business. IL

AWORLD REVOLUTION

(From the Cleveland Citizen.)
Herr Walther Rathenau, the great
iron master of Germany, has written
book and he seems 20 have gained
the same point of view as our own
Charles Schwab, and is about ready
to bide farewell to the system OF
privilege that he and his class have
enjoyed. The New York Times prints
what purports to be a translation and
part of it reads as follows:
what is this event, the waves of
which are breaking around us? We
call it war because it has the form OF
International war, because the con-
vulsed nations are openly and appar-
emily struggling in earth, water, air
and fire. Coming generations Will rec
ognize it. What we are experiencing
is the revolution of the world, the vol
canic upheaval of the mighty, burn
ing lower strata of the abode of man
kind.
Made deaf and mad by their inner
tension, Intoxicated by the last and
highest Installations Of the old order
of things, trembling with nationalism,
nations must hurl themselves upon
nation, in the splendor and discipline
of their state and military orders,
completely equipped by their indus
tries and their sciences, with the fury
and the grief of their souls and
hearts.
"They believe they are fighting for
rulership and existence, and they are
fighting q battle the origin of which
nohodv nn1orofo ndu and the objects
of which have subsequently to be
sought with monthly statements of
corrections. In reality, however, the
old economic order is burning down
and the time is drawing near when
the old foundation Of the social order
will catch fire.. ,,' -.

YOUR MITE MAY WIN.

We are in the midst of War Saw
1ngs drive. Patriotic men and wo-
men are contributing their time and
effort to put Duluth lover the top"
In this matter as she has been put
over on other patriotic matters. The
sale will continue for year, but
these men and women have other
work to do, 50 they are securing SUI
ficient pledges now, getting them in
short order, while the post office en-
ployes and other agents will do the
delivering and collect the money
from the sales during the balance of
the year.
Our aim is to raise $2,50O,000 in
Duluth. We want that much pledged
now. To raise this amount every
human soul in Duluth must pur-
chase before December 81 at least
$40 worth Of war savings stamps. A
family Of five should own a minimum
Of 800 worth. Every family should
purchase this much; none should
purchase less.
There is no better investment on
earth. The plan has every system
of savings ever devised beat a mile. 1t
enables the masses of the people to
help the nation and themselves at
the same time. No man in America,
no matter how poor he may be, can
afford to be without war savings
stamps. 1t is the least he can do to
help In the war.
The wise families will arrange
their home budgets so that a certain
fixed sum will be set aside each
week for the purchase of war stamps.
Go without something to pay for
them; that is true patriotism.

jump on Him with Both Feet
(From the MesaDa Ore.)

(From the Mesaba Ore.)
Judge" John F. MCGEE, of Gov
ernor Burnquist's Public Safety COM
mission, is making any number Of
bad half hours for the governor, and
the governor hasn't the nerve to do
the only thing that a right-minded,
patriotic and loyal citizen should do
fire the traitor and then jump onto
him with both feet.
But instead, the governor Whin-
ingly declares that MCGEE did not
speak for either Me or the Safety
commission.
Rot-rotten rot.
MCGEE is a member of the Safety
commission, the Safety commission is
Il creature of Governor Burnquist's,
and if the commission and it's men,
bers do not represent the governor
who do they represent?
It should be of no comment to
Governor Burnquist whether McGee
represents him or the commission Or
moths utteyances before the senate
military affairs committee at WASH
ingtOn was a dirty insult to the State
of Minnesota, and the governor, hav-
ing the only power, should promptly
have sheared MCGEE of every vestige
of authority he has, even to disfran-
chizing him, and then kicked him out
bodily.
But the governor never yet did the
right thing at the right time, or at
any other time, and his continuing
MCGEE as member of the Safety
commission is nothing more or less
than full endorsement of everything
MCGEE has said to the disparagement
Of the state and the people.
MCGEE is a character patterned after
the German kaiser and would rule
this country as Germany is ruled
with the sword. He is a traitor to all
that is good and loyal in Minnesota,
but he is one of the pets with which
Burnquist has surrounded himself and
therefore he is allowed to run wild
with his sedition and is given every
protection in his unpatriotic career.
The people of Minnesota have stood
for a good deal from Governor Burn
quist. first and last-not because of
willful or criminal intent, but because
of his shameful weakness-but for the
good name of the state, Minnesota de-
mands that his man MCGEE be given
! "dishonorable discharge"

HOLD THE SUNDAY TABERNACLE

Every time a patriotic meeting is
held in Duluth the need of down.
town auditorium is made manifest.
What pity the old armory was sold.
1t is centrally located and would be
packed to the doors on most occa-
sions.
When Governor Harding of Iowa
appeared at the new armory last
Monday evening he was greeted by
a small audience of approximately
one thousand people. The big audi
forum should have been filled. The
speech was corker, delivered by a
typical, red blooded, virile American
who understands we'll the high pur-
pose of the United States in the war.
The people who heard Governor
Harding were given a treat. Those
who did not hear him missed one. Be-
cause of the distance of the new ar
mory from the center Of population
only speakers Of established nation
wide reputation can draw capacity
houses. The great majority of the
people will not suffer street car in
convenience by travelling long dis
tances to the new armory except on
very rare occasions.
The old armory as we have said, is
centrally located. Every passing day
of the war reveals anew the serious
mistake made by the commissioners
when they parted with the property
for song. Now that it is a closed,
but unfortunate incident, and what
has been done cannot be undone, the
next step should be to acquire a
downtown public meeting place.
Why not lease the Billy Sunday
Tabernacle? The money and labor
used in it's construction will be
criminal waste if the structure is per-
mitted to be razed before the war
is ended. Would it not be a glorious
place for patriotic meetings? Canvas
separations could be easily placed so
that the auditorium would be large,
medium or small, according to the
number of people in attendance.
Here is job for some one in Du-
luth to start, and now is the time to
start it.

RAPAC|OuS RASCALS
(From The San Francisco
Labor Clarion

LABOR Clarlon.)
The war is furnishing greedy and
hypocritical employers with opportun-
tiles to satisfy their craving for gain
that were little contemplated by the
most far-sighted among them a year
ago. Women workers are being ex-
plotted in most unmerciful fashion un-
der the pretense Of patriotism, and,
strange as it may seem, these hypo-
crits are actually able to convince
some honest and we'll intentioned per-
sons that there is some merit in their
contentious and that the substitution
of women for men in many lines Of
industry is really in the interest Of the
nation and at a sacrifice to themselves.
These crafty parasites point to the
fact that women have replaced men in
the industrial world in England and
some Of the continental countries in
Europe because of shortage Of men
owing to the war, and that because
such a course was found necessary
over there the same course is advis-
able here. Even if this argument con-
tanned the truth, and it does not, in
every instance where such substitute
lions have been made in this country
the employer has failed to follow the
rule established in England which pro-
vides that the women shall receive the
same pay as the men whose places
they took.
But let us analyze the situation, and
see how we'll the contention Of neces-
sity will stand the test of logic. In
England CONSUMPTION was not resorted
to until late in the war, and many en-
ployers put women to work in the
places of men to make the men avail
able for military service. In this
country the draft law became effec-
tive at once, making such course
here absolutely unnecessary because
the men were available in unlimited
numbers at call. In England, one in
every seven of population is in the
| military service, which very naturally
| made it necessary to call upon women
| to take the places vacated by men.
! But in the United States at the pres
! ent time there is but one in each $50
| of population in the military service,
so that before the same necessity that
| exists in England could obtain here
we must have an army in excess of
100000 men. These are the abso-
lutte facts, yet the patriots for profit
have the brazen effrontery 10 tell the
! people that they are replacing men
with women because of the needs of
| the nation.
There is, in truth, no need what
ever for the replacing of men with
women in the industries of this coun-
try, and the employer who :loes it Is
simply trying to deceive the real patri-
OTIS who have the country's welfare
at heart>in the interest of his own
pocketbook. He is one of the most
despicable of properly detested profit
GERS, unfit to associate with decent
men and necessarily a communicating
influence even among rogues.

when he said: Patriotism is the last
refuge of a. scoundrel.''

the domination of the Lake Carriers
association, which is said to be con-
trolled by the United States Steel cor
poration.
One of the most significant fea-
lures OF the navigation season which
has just opened is the unpleasant in
dication that there will probably soon
be differences arising between the
Lake Carriers association and the
men who are employed on the boats,
many of whom belong to unions. The
fact is that trouble Is already brew
ing in lake marine circles, and the
only thing preventing an open break
is the loyalty Of the seamen, who
realize the imperative war need of
maintaining uninterrupted lake traf-
fic.
Within the last week several hear
ings and conferences have been held
before government shipping authori-
ties at Washington, in an effort to
promote harmonious relations be-
tween the vessel owners and seamen
on the lakes. Every union involved
was represented by its officials, while
the Lake Carriers association failed
to participate. Robert P. Bass of the
shipping board stated that every
thing possible had been done to in
duce the association to join in the
conferences, but that it would not
send representatives.
This arbitrary attitude of the YES
sci owners and their refusal to be
sincere and just is being condemned
by all fair-minded persons, who con-
slider it open defiance to the gov
eminent. And this is not the first
instance Of the kind, for the Lake
Carriers association has consistently
refused to attend conferences ar
ranged by the government between
the association and it's employees.
One of the biggest problems soon
to confront the administration is the
manning of the merchant marine
which is expected to become an i'm
portant factor in winning the war
and it is very essential that all ele
Notwithstanding the Lake Carriers
association-co-oper is assisting
the government. Another imperative
need Is that the transportation of ore
on the lakes be kept at a maximum
to serve the requirements of the stee
industry.
In view of all this, the antagonism
of the Lake Carriers association is
disconcerting-in reality disloyalty
to the goyernment-and would BIZ
considered such if the same attitude
were expressed by the seamen'.
unions.
There is only one course which
can properly be followed, and that i:
the taking over by the government Of
all the Great Lakes vessel lines FOL
operation under the supervision Of
the shipping board. Any other way
of solving this problem will have {
disastrous result and seriously inter
fere with the successful carrying or
of the war.

WHY WAS HE:

The Cincinnati Chronicle: Press
dispatches fail, as yet, to inform a
long-suffering public just why Francis
j. Heney, who was in charge of the
federal investigation of the meat
packers, was called off. But from
part of Heney's report now in the
hands of the new Food Survey COM
mission, it appears that there is in
process of evolution a gigantic food
monopoly, which proposes to fix prices
for both producer and the consumer.
There can be no objection to a food
monopoly if it is in the hands of
the people-the government. But
there is serious objection to official
monopoly with control by private in
terests. Uncle Sam has fixed the price
on many things now consumed by the
people, and when he can fix what
may be termed an equita BILE price for
wheat, there is no valid reason why
he should not tell the meat trust
where to head in at. Uncle Sam has
taken over transportation. Is the
meat trust greater than the railroads?
