THE PEOPLES TURN NEXT.

In taking over the railways the government guarantees them
not only the customary and ample profits on their investment but
No wonder railroad stocks bounded upward when these generous
terms were announced, says Governor Arthur Capper, of Kansas.
The coal operators have been allowed admittedly high profits
by the government to stimulate production. They may lawfully
and periodically charge more for coal than the pro6teer prices of
a year ago.
The packers are guaranteed ample returns.
The milers are smiling.
The steel and copper trusts are happy.
War burdens are now resting lightly everywhere except on
the American home. The sorely pressed people are paying not
a legitimate high price but profteer rates for every necessity.
They are feeling the pressure more and more. They have been
voted unanimously the office of burden carrier to big business,
little business and intermediate business, to shoulder their war
taxes, with something more added, piled onto and transmitted to
the burden-bearing consumer in terms of higher prices. Every
ment earnestly direct it's full powers toward giving the American
home and the American consumer a square deal.
1t is not good business nor good strategy to make the struggle
for existence more momentous to the American people than the
war.
Vigorous prosecution of eastern profteers who grated on
army hat contracts is promised. But that is not enough. The
least the public demands and hopes for is vigorous, prompt and
fitting punishment. No doubt many other grafters are watching
to see what shall be done with these men.
When the officers Of the print paper combine held up pub
fishers in the United States for millions of dollars, and were found
guilty, these exploiters were fined $4,000 apiece! And many a
publisher in a country town paid them the price of the fine in
excess profits. To be compelled to give up something less than a
microscopical onehalf of one-thousandth per cent of his il-gotten
wealth for a million or two of dollars can only make the exploiter
willingly divide ~"ffty-ffty" with the government or even twen-
tyfve-seventy-fve. u
It should be a capital crime to exploit the people at any time,
punishment to be committed to a long term of imprisonment, but
grating in time of war should merit the drumhead court martial
and the fate the army metes out to traitors.

We are not a Socialist nor have we ever taken much stock in
some Of the extreme measures advocated by that party but if there
IS ever q time when 9 redistribution of wealth and property is
Justified, that time will be when those who were once a flower OF
our youth, return from over yonder physical and mental wrecks.
It lt, seems g to y. Us that they should have a share in the property, and
their noble sacrifices all our wealth and all our property would

No sooner was James Manahan, attorney for the Nonpartisan
League, arrested for interference with the draft, than the Twin
City daiies blazoned it on the front page. No sooner did the
fact appeared on an inside page, discreetly headed so as to attract
mild attention. The process is being repeated in the case Of Jos
eph Gilbert, manager of the League, at st. Paul. Some day they
will take a League official out and place him against q wall and
shoot him. Then the League will carry the state Of Minnesota
by 100000 majority.

Used the Association as a Catspaw.
[The Mesaba, Mimi Ore.

It may be presumed that the reason for inviting rabid OPP
ponents of the nonpartisan league from North Dakota to wash
their dirty linen at the winter meeting of the Northern Mime
sofa Editorial association is because the association is supposed
to be a nOn-parhSan OrganlZatlOn-and is such so TAR as the cOun-
try publishers can make it.
At any rate and however, the boys of the Fourth Estate in
convention assembled at Fergus Falls last week had to submit to
a high-explosive TRADE against the league and its officers by one
J. D. Bacon, editor and owner of the Herald of Grand Forks, North
Dakota, who was personally insulting to other guests of the. asso-
but surely acknowledging him and all of the others who are try
ing to head off the league by abusing it's leaders and officers.
And Bacon is a postmaster in that line of argument.
The Northern Minnesota Editorial association is an Organl-
zation of country newspapernnen who assemble once a year to take
up with matters that have to do strictly with the publishing Of
tofole politics and politicians have been kept out of the business
meetings.
Just who is responsible for having invited the fiery brand of
devltry from North Dakota is not known, but he should be fer
1eted out and severely repimanded, if not expelled from the asso-
citation. There is a suspicion that the move originated in the
higher councils of the republican party and was worked through
persons holding political positions in the grain grading depart
ment-persons who have to dance when the strings are pulled.
The spectacle Of a man coming from another state with q per-
sonal grievance, told in such a way as to cast reflections upon
every farmer in Minnesota, had a depressing effect upon the edi-
torial meeting, and we will predict that a few more such displays
and there will be no editorial association.
The association is neither for nor against the Nonpartisan
league or any other political partyIt is purely an association OF
the best bunch of country newspapermen on earth, banded to-
gether for mutual benefit and pleasure, and it must remain free
from political contamination or it's influence for good will utter
~ be destroyed.
The Nonpartisan leagues was represented at the meeting by
a st. Paul neWspapelman and ii to his credit that he conducted
temen.

of the Nonpartisan Leader to print a separate paper for each state
in which the League has any considerable membership. North
Dakota is doing things right along Of national importance-the
recent special war session of the legislature was one-and such
things will be printed in the national edition Of the Nonpartisan
Leader, so that strivers for democracy throughout the nation may

SPEED UP ON ALL
 WAR WORK IS ORDER
Government Warns Against Tak-
 ing Peace Offensive Seriously

Hartford, Oct. 7.-Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior and head of the field division of the coun- cil of national defense, has in a tele- gram to the Connecticut State Council of Defense. pointed out the absolute necessity of pushing all war activities vigorously in spite of the German peace oVertures. This has especial application to the Liberty Loan. Sec retary Lane asked that all members of the Defense Council and of it's local organizations be reminded of the i'm portancc of obvating any slackening of war activity. Nathan A. Smyth, as sistant director general of the United States Employment Service, has sent to Leo A. Korper, Federal Director for Connecticut of the Employment Ser vice, a telegram asking that all indi- Viduals and organizations with which MT. Korper is working be reminded to speed up their war work.
 Secretary Lanes telegram follows:
 Tt is of primary importance that the receipt of the German note should not in any way result in the slowing down of our war activities, particular ly in our support of the Liberty Loan. We would therefore immediately call lile tbllelLloll OI all mem DeTS OI StdLe, county and community councils of de- fense to the absolute necessity of sup porting the loan, and of continuing all other war activities with unabated zeal. We may safely trust the Presi- dent to guard our interests and direct our diplomacy. Our duty is to give strength to his arms. He will know how to use it.'
 MT. Smyths telegram was as fol- lows:
 The receipt of the German note must not for one minute result in the slowing up of our war activities. Will you, therefore, call attention of all in- dividual organization with whom you are working the fact that we must speed up our preparation to continue war? That is in order that our ene- mics may find peace imperative"

LIFE OF GENERAL PERSHING

Mrs. Boswell was awakened by the roar of the flames, and with her maid awakened her two children and then called to Mrs. Pershing. She then opened the door to the hall A gust of smoke drove her back and she saw flames in the hallway. She took her children to the stairs, but saw that they were cut off by fire, and re- treated through her room to the roof of the porch
 The noise of the fire had by this time aroused several of the officers and men, who broke in the doors of the house, but were forced back by the flames. .s.,- .-,,. ~..zs-.s s-a4
 Mrs. Boswell, from the poFch roof, called to them and threw her two children to them safely, then jumped herself.
 The officers understood that Mrs. Pershing and the children had es- capped but Johnson, the Pershings' aged Negro servant. whom they had found in the Philippines and brought with them to America, did not see any of the family in the little crowd that surrounded the house, so he dashed through the smoke and flame to search for them.
 He found little Warren Pershing on the floor of his room unconscious and carried him from the house. Other rescuers found the mother and the remaining two children in that part of the house most damaged by the flames. All were dead.
 Warren was hurried to the hospi- tai at the Presidio and tenderly cared for He quickly revived and moaned for his father.
 General Pershing was completely stunned by the blow that had fallen upon him. He hastened to the Pre- sidio to be with Warren and to take the bodies of his loved ones to Wyo- ming. Mrs. Pershing had always claimed Wyoming as her home, and had expressed desire to be buried there.

MENACE TO CONSTANTINOPLE
Germans in Control of Russian Black Sea Fleet Threaten to Bombard Turkish Capital.

Washington, Oct. 17-With the erlin-Con5tantinoplc railroad cut by the Allied occupation of Nish, Ger many is relying upon it's Black Sea fleet to nold Turkey in line. Infor- nation has been received at the State Department that tho Turkish government has been told by Berlin that tho fleet will open fire on the Ottoman capital st the first sign of defection.
 This German fleet consists largely of warships captured from the Rus sians, but is believed here to be strong enough to control, for the present at least, the Turkish Govern ment. It was pointed out today that with the British forces rapidly clear ing Palestine and Mesopotamia of Turkish control Turkey must hold to Constantinorle as it's only hope or maintaining any power as a govern ment.
 News from Copenhaser that lzzet Pasha has been appointed Premier and Minister of War in the new Turk ish Cabinet was interpreted aS mean ing that Berlin Is not without a frend at court.
