Minnesota has had some excellent
chief executives, but never has she
had a more courageous, true blue
patriotic governor than the present in
cumbent- u. A. A. Burnquist. He is
no time-server or man-pleaser. He is
not trimming his political sails to
catch every breeze that blows. He
fearlessly performs his duty as he per-
ceives it without the slightest regard
Of the consequence to himself. Of his
Americahism there is no question. His
letter to the secretary Of the Non
partisan league proves the manner Of
man he is, but it is only another Of
many evidences Of his intense loyalty
to his country. The loyal citizens Of
Minnesota, regardless Of creed, nation
atty or politics, are proud Of Cover
ner Burnquist, and those Of Scandi-
navian birth or descent should be
doubly proud Of him for he reflects
especial credit on the race.

NOT MUCH OF "A MANI.

He may not be as rich as a millionaire.
Or scion Of noble name;
No sage with his wisdom may compare
He may shine in the blaze of fame.
He may be the most marvellous thing in sight -
That our humble eyes can scan, =
But if his heart is not in our fight
He isn't much Of man
He may be as square the day is long
And just in his every DEAL
He may seek the right and eschew the wrong
And to gods of all ages kneel,
He may be a saint in his holy ways,
Soul pure since his life began
But if out of his country's war he stays,
He isn't much of man!
A man may be true to his child and wife
And loyal to all mankind;
He may do no i'll in his whole long life,
And yet, to his horror find,
When no patriot ferver floods his breast
At the threat of foeman's clan,
He lacks of that which. of all. is best,
For he isn't much of a man!

KICK BRINGS RESULTS.


It appears that Duluth's vigorous
protest to the United States Steel cor
poration has not been without results.
1t is reported that the corporation will
resume the manufacture of certain
lines Of finished steel there. But will
the price charged for the output equal
Pittsburgh prices plus the freight on
the raw material east and finished
product west? On this point the
News-Tribune pertinently remarks:
No steel products that can be made
mere should be made for western de-
mands at eastern Mills To do so is
to use for the long haul cars urgently
needed to supply orders that can be
filled from here with a short haul.
Moreover, for this same reason the
variety Of products turned out here
should be increased by the building of
other mills, as car shortage will not
end even with the war.
Also, the corporation should at once
make a Duluth base price, that the
buyers Of the finished product through
this western country need no longer
pay, in addition to the cost of produc-
ton here, the transportation charge
on the ore to Pittsburgh and the
charge from Pittsburgh
back to Duluth on the merchant steel.
The Duluth mills have at least as
low cost charge as those of like kind
at Pittsburgh. To charge the con-
sumers supplied from the Duluth mills
this production cost with profit and in
addition the ore freight east and the
steel freight back, is something we do

Clifford L. Hilton, deputy attorney
general under the late Lyndon A.
Smith, has been appointed to fill the
unexpired term Of his former chief.
It was the correct thing to do. Mr..
Hilton has been connected with the at
torney generals office for almost
decade, is thoroughly familiar with the
details Of the office, and is fully COM
petent to discharge the duties Of the
position. Mr.. C. L. Weeks, who has
been identified with the attorney gen
erals office for many years, succeeds
Mr.. Hilton as deputy attorney general.
Louie Weeks, as he is Familiarity
called, has more friends than any
other man employed in the state CAPT
toll, and his popularity is richly merit
ed. Lyndon A. Smith will be greatly
missed, but he has worthy successor,
and with Hilton and Weeks at the
helm the interests Of the state will be
carefully guarded.

Mr.. Hoover is dehooverizing on some
things and rehooverizing on others.
For instance, he has cut out meatless
meals with the exception Of those on
Tuesdays and, on the other hand, cut
down the sugar limit. Hotels and res
taurants, under the new order, will be
required to supply one teaspoonful of
sugar to patron at each meal. While
this will prove somewhat of hard
ship to the sweet toothed individual,
the average person can get along very
nicely with the quantity permitted,
and water drinkers can laugh in their
sleeves and sell their sugar rations to
the patron who is not satisfied with
teaspoonful.

Clarence 3. Miller has introduced a
bill in congress providing for an ap-
preparation of $15,O00,000 with which
to lease land and erect buildings along
the Riviera, the same to constitute
recreation grounds for our soldiers on
leave Of absence from active service.
We should do all in our power to make
it as pleasant as possible for our boys
over there-not deny them single
thing which we are able to furnish.
Let them be given all the enjoyable
diversion with which we can furnish
them when recuperating on leave of
absence from the d-stained
trenches, to which, when their fur
loughs} expire, many Of them will re-
turn for the last time.

Francis J. Heney, attorney for the
federal trade commission, who is in
vestigating the Chicago packers, is
handicapped in his work by the de-
cision of the United States circuit
court, which has quashed the warrant
issued by Judge Lands to permit the
examination Of letter files in the office
of the attorney for the packers. It is
said the reversal of Judge Lands was
based on technical errors on the part
Of Heney. If there is a trust that
needs investigation it is the meat
packers combine Of Chicago, for it has
been persistently robbing the producer
and consumer, and it is too bad that
Heney was not given access to the
letter files of the commercial pirates.
But the circuit courts decision is
without bar to further proceedings"

Anybody who is governor can pretty
nearly dictate what the tax rate is to
be.-Morris Sun.
The above argument is used to fur
ther the cause Of Nonpartisan gu
bernatorial candidate. Commenting on
the same the Long Prairie Leader
points out that the state tax is, as
any one familiar with state finances
knows, about one-tenth of what the
average individual is required to pay,
and adds that when the Nonpartisan
league starts to boom man for gov
ernor on the assertion that he as a
governor could pretty nearly dictate
the tax rate" it only adds another
chapter to the bunk now in circulation
to fool the people.

At meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the democratic state central
committee in Minneapolis last Satur-
day Senator Nelson was commended
for his splendid loyalty" and was de-
clared "a fine example Of American
citizenship" 1t is almost certainty
that at the ensuing democratic con-
ference to be held in St. Paul on the
9th inst, Senator Nelson will be
unanimously indorsed and urged to be
a candidate for reelection. Does it
not look as if the Unions prediction,
made months ago with reference to
Senator Nelson, would come true?

Some Of the disloyalists have been
sneering at the boys in France-char-
acterizing them as servants of the
Tommies and making other opprobri-
GUS remarks. But from official war
reports it is gathered that the United
States soldiers are among the bravest
in action, that they have taken many
German trenches and prisoners and
are the best artillery marksmen on the
battle front today. Damn the man
who derides our brave soldier boys.
We would like to tie him to the muzzle
of cannon and blow him into the
depths of hades.

PATRIOTIC JOHN McC ORMACK. a
John McCormack. The fanno11s Irish

PATRIOTIC JOHN McC ORMACK.
John Nice ormack, the famous Irish
singer, paid $4,000 in income tax to
the collector Of internal revenue in
New Y ork one day last week, and he
paid it willingly and gladly.
Asked how he felt about giving up
so large a sum to the government, Mr..
Nice ormack replied: cit makes me
feel happy to do my bit for the coun-
try that made possible my success. It
certainly makes man feel great when
he knows he is doing his duty. You
know the bible says the Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be
the name Of the Lord. Well with me
it has been a case of America giveth
and America taketh away. Blessed be
the name Of America"
Mr.. Mccormack has started out on
his transcontinental tour to raise
100000 for the Red Cross; in fact he
has already raised 100000 of the
amount, and the balance will be forth
coming in short order, as everywhere
he goes people are crazy to hear him
sing.
When his obligations to the Red
Cross are cancelled, Mr.. Mccormack
expects to appear in series of con-
certs in behalf Of the Knights of Col
umbus War Camp fund. It would not
be surprising if, at the end of his last
tour in May, he went. to France to sing
for the soldiers. He was quoted as
saying in New York that if it was
thought that he could contribute to the
success Of the war by going to
France he would be glad to do so.
John Mccormack has made big
money since he came to the United
States, but, unlike some of our other
foreign-born citizens, the talented and
patriotic Irishman is glad to do his
bit for his adopted country.

speak-they evidently fail to realize
that such settlement would mean an
other war. While we are engaged in

sought even though it be necessary for
us to cut our daily rations down to a
minimum in order to effect our pur-

The kaiser has published in the Ber-

from ''Me to Colt" returning thanks
for the great assistance rendered to

there is a question whether even that
gentleman would permit it to pass the

One Carl A. Void, editor Of the
Park Region Echo, published at Alex
andria, has been sentenced to serve
three months in Jail and pay fine of
5000 for printing an article tending to
discourage enlistment. If he continues
to publish seditious articles he is very
likely to find that his next sentence
will place him where he can do no
harm for years instead of months, and
that the government will suppress his
disloyal sheet. This would be but CIV
ing him his Just deserts.
