SHUTS HELP HUNS
100000. WORTH

SHUTS Of grains cause an annual loss
in Minnesota Of at least 100000 and
that means that in these war times they
help the enemies of liberty to just that
extent.
AS means of aiding the farmers in
combating the inroads Of grain smuts
the agricultural extension division of
the University of Minnesota has pub
lished Special Bulletin 16, "Prevention
of Smuts.' This bulletin tells what the
SHUTS are and how to combat them.

LIBERTY OIL DRILLING
BEGAN LAST MONDAY

Actual drilling operations began on
| Monday morning by the Liberty Oil
& Gas company on their property near
the coal camp, 10 miles north of VIII
sail and according to reports received
yesterday satisfactory progress is
being made. The drilling operations
are in charge Of w. E. Adamson, an
expert driller, who has had several
years experience in the Ohio oil fields.
The company has installed a modern
drilling plant, equipped with the lat
est machinery. Sheds have been erect
ed so that cold weather will not in
terfere with the operations. The
length of time necessary in sinking
the well will depend entirely on the
formation of the rock encountered
and the depths it will be necessary to
go. According to Mr.. Adamson, the
depth attained may range from 25
to 100 feet each day.
The development of the oil resources
of the Shields valley has been awaited
able anticipation. Government geo.
logists who have inspected the field
pronounce it as having every indica
ton of being oil bearing. Through
the untiring efforts of Edgar Potter
and associates, a strong company has
been formed for the purpose of de-
ternining whether oil deposits exist
in this section.-Shields Valley Rec

RAILWAY UNIONS

December there will be conven-
ton of delegates from all the railroad
shops on the Union Pacific system to
form one big union.
All crafts and trades employed in
railroad shops will be represented by
200 delegates who will act for the en-
ployes they represent.
Shop employees of all big railroad
systems are to be organized into a
single union representing machinists,
boilermakers, carmen, etc.
Whether this is for good or evil in
administration of railroads remains to
be seen, altho it is in line with admin
istratioin tendency.
By collective bargaining in organ
lied ranks the laborers represented
will be able to hold up their wages
and get increases from the nation.
Under government operation of
railroads these workmen will be re-
moved from competitive conditions
and can force higher wages.
Producers from the soil, business
men large and small, consumers of all
classes, will simply be taxed for
higher freight rates to pay wages.

EVIDENCE THAT GFRMANYPLAN'D
WAR STILL ACCOMMODATING
Told Austria TO Hurry War so Serbia
Would Not Have Time to
Apologize

An official report of the Bavarian
minister at Berlin to his home gov
eminent in 1914, printed in the Eng
lish papers last week, adds to the ev
idence already in the hands of the en-
tente governments that Germany and
Austria conspired to bring about the
war. 1t was for this reason that the
terms of Austria's ultimatum to Ser
bia were made so drastic that HOSTILE
tiles were bound to follow.
These revelations have been pub
lished in Munich, after permission had
been asked by the Bavarian minister
and foreign minister of the German
federal government. They are in the
form of report sent to Munich July
18, 1914, by Count Won Lerchenfeld,
the Bavarian minister at Berlin.
According to the report, the delivery
of the ultimatum to Serbia was de-
layed until after President Poincare
and Premier Viviani of France had
gone to st. Petersburg, which would
make it difficult for the entente ma
tons to arrive at an understanding
and take counter measures.
Count Won Lerchenfeld said that
"Serbia obviously can not accept such
conditions as will be laid down" and
that as a consequence, "there must
be war" He declared that action on
the part of Austria could not be long
delayed, "for that might give Serbia
under pressure from France and Rus
STA an opportunity to offer satisfac-
ton"
In telegram to Munich from Ber-
lin on July 81, 1914, Count Won Ler-
chenfeld said that Sir Edward Grey's
efforts to preserve peace would Ger
tainly not succeed in arresting the
course of events" Later the same
day, he wired information as to ulti-
matums to Russia and France, fore
cast their rejection by both nations,
and told of plans to hurl Germany's
armies against France, which, he said,
would be overwhelmed in four
weeks" He said that the morale of
the French army was poor and that it
was poorly armed.
On August a the Bavarian minister
outlined Germany's intention to VIC
late Belgian neutrality, saying:
"The chief of the general staff has
declared that even British neutrality
would be paid for too dearly if the
price is respect of Belgium. An at
tack on France is possible only thru
Belgium" ~

CONGRESSMAN GLASS TO sue
CEED McADOO

That is, he has been offered the
appointment by the president. For
many years he has represented a Vir-
ginia district in congress and for four
years has been chairman of the inn
portant House Banking and Currency
committee,
There is no denying that McAdoo
was the backbone of the presidents
cabinet. He is the one man, with the
possible exception of Secretary Lane,
who measured up to place in the
cabinet. Mr.. McAdoo will never have
cause to complain that the opposition
press of the country did not treat him
with fairness. With his multitude of
duties he yet found time to discharge
them in a way that satisfied the coun-
try. He will remain until about the
first of the year in the position OF
general manager of the railroads.
His resignation at this particular
time has been something of puzzle
to the country. There seems to be
foundation for the rumor that he and
the president were not in entire accord
on all public questions. The. state
ment that he resigned to mend his fl
nancial affairs is taken with a grain
of salt

LEGISLATIVE REFORMS

The people are demanding a higher
standard of service in the state legis-
lature if that branch of the gov
ernment is to enjoy respect.
by the system known as direct leg
islation the people showed that they
distrusted legislatures as such, but
that system has not worked well.
The people have a right to demand
greater efficiency and less waste by
legislatures-less lost motion and less
rash enactment of laws. vt %,
Before legislature takes up and
enacts new law imposing tax Or
creating burdens affecting all the peo1
pie such law should be asked for by
some one besides those interested in
putting it over. 80 a..
The old order of business, "peti-
tions and remonstrances" that was
established as regular feature of
legislative business should be revived
and no law passed until petitions for
II are on Tile. t.., .5ytf y, ff#u,,.
In the same way, having one or two
professional lobbyists, generally pub
fishers from some big city, making
headquarters at the state house and
taking personal charge of the legis
lature is wrong. u
Americans should also rise above
the petty practices of nepotism that
manifests itself in taking members of
their families to the state capitol and
getting them fat sinecures during the
session. a
If this is to be country with OPP
portunity for all alike to get to the
front, in peace times as well as war,
and if politically we are all created
free and equal, let our legislatures set
a new pace.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AMI
STRIKES

One of the pleasures of being an
employee of the government under
public ownership plans is that strikes
are forbidden.
Director General McAdoo warns the
telegraphers, that under government
operation of telegraphs and telephones
strikes must go.
He says: "You are now working for
the government and no strike has ever
occurred against the government"
Except in shipyards, ETC., etc.
1t was impossible to announce a
decision of the war wage board on the
demands of the telegraphers and so
he asked them to wait.
The theory that government en-
ployes can not strike has not been
found true in other countries, as for
instance England and France.
President Wilson and Director Nc
Adoo deserve commentator for repri-
manding threatening strikers and the
rule may be established.
1t is fact that postal employees and
city, county, state and federal en-
ployes, or job-holders have never gone
on a strike.
