Mass Meetings Held BY

They'r re out, meaning the twen-

up in the Butler County Jail on last
Thursday by order of Judge Walter
S Harlan, when they failed to give
bond. But it took mighty strong
persuadef-small pox-to get them
TO consent TO leave,
1t seems that Joe Deininger, one
of the men locked up, was i'll at
the time he was sent to jail but tit.
tie was thought of it then. That
night, Thursday, he became worse
and DR.. Frank P. Zerfass, was
called Dl. Zerfass prescribed for
him and told Jailer Fred Brinkman
be had better isolate the patient as
he WASH sure just what the case
uight develop into. Deininger
seemed in fair shape Friday and
Saturday but late Saturday night
requested that DR.. Ddw Cook, his
family physician, be sent for as he
was breaking ut. Dr. Cook
couldn be had until Sunday morn
ing bat Immediately upon his ar
rival declared that he believed
Deininger had small pox and al
most started panic among those
imprisoned, in the first floor tier of
cells. The union men were i'm
prisoned in the secold floor cells.
/ DR.. Cook said however, that the
case was just in the stage, of devel
ment and that there was no imme-
diate danger and thereby quieted
all down. Health Officer DR.. A.
l. Smedly was called, who with
DR.. Cook and Dr., Zerfass examined
Deininger after which DR.. Smedly
declared the case tu be one of small
pox and ordered Deininger isolated
from the. other prisoners. He also
told the men that it was a case of
them getting out at once or re-
naming there at least twenty ore
days, with no one coming or going,
as he intended qaarantining the
place, The men however declared
their intention of remaining WHARF
they were.
DIR. Smedly then appeared before
the mass meeting of trades union
lists which was being held in Trades
Council hall on Sun ay afternoon
and explained the situation When
he told those present that he in
tended to quarantine the jail and
that unless the men were removed
al once they would have to remain
there at least twenty one days with
no one being permitted TO enter OF
leave the place during that length
of time, he caused much excitement
among his listeners and all urged
that immediate action be taken to
secure the release Of the men. A
committee was appointed to drafl
suitable resolutions. In Short
time the committee reported and
Iofhered the following resolutions.

Misguided demands in the name of

the danger is that serious blunders

I In an amendment to the new draft
bill, which has been adopted, it is pro-
vided that theological students shall
not be exempted from duty as soldiers.
It appears that there has been an
enormous increase in the number of
students in divinity schools of late,
and this shows beyond reasonable
doubt that cowardly slackers have been
focking to these institutions in order
to evade serving their country. The
Union has, upon more than one occa-
sion, commended that theological stu
dents within the draft age should not
be exempted from military duty, and
at last our intellectual congress seems
to have come to the same conclusion.
That divinity slackers have for so long
a time been permitted to hide behind
the cloak of religion is unfair to boys
in other walks of life who have been
called to the colors. The sooner these
shirkers are chased into the army the
better.

SENATOR JOHN n. BALDWIN.

It pleases the Union greatly that
Senator John H. Baldwin Of Frazee has
filed for reelection in the Becker
Hubbard district the 63rd-and so
far has no opponent. He should have
no opposition, for he has served his
district and the state ably and we'll in
the last two sessions of the legislature.
The Union is glad to say this for Sen
ator Baldwin, for during the 1915 SEES
sion the writer misjudged him,-w
thought he was not friendly to good
roads legislation. But we misunderstood
him, and freely acknowledge our mis-
take. No member of either branch Of
the legislature rendered us more Viysalu-
able assistance in securing the enact
ment of necessary amendments to the
road laws than Senator Baldwin. Be-
sides he. was as nearly right on all
other measures of Importance as any
member of the senate. The Union GER
tainly entertains an exalted opinion OF
Senator John H. Baldwin.

An intensively patriotic organiza-

Revolution, the members of which
have already purchased $11,OOO,OOO
worth Of Liberty bonds and warsaw
ings stamps. In a recent address Mrs.
M. T. Scott, chairman Of the war SER
vice Of the organization, declared that
the purchase of bonds was not a ques-
ton of helping the allies but of the
allies helping the United States.
France, she said, had put the United
states on the map and, during the
past four years, France and Great
Britain had kept. the United States on
the map by standing as a barrier be-
tween this country and the German
hordes.

Governor Burnquist: would rather

If anyone comes to this country, en-

advantage Of opportunities afforded by

loyal, he should be deprived of his
franchise, have his property confscat-
ed and be deported.

No individual convicted of making
seditious speeches should be admitted
to bail for. the reason that when re-
leased he usually goes forth and con-
tinues his anarchistic talk. In fact
seditionists should not be tried by the
criminal courts Of the country but by
courtmartial. Military courts do not
permit Of bail. They try a prisoner
with rapidity and, if he is convicted,
his medicine usually a strong dose
is administered to him in double quick
time. At the present time there are
thousands of seditionists out on bail
in this country and it is high time that
this state of affairs be remedied.

Minnesota Scenic Highway.

Unfortunately Duluth is not on the
minnesota Scenic Highway"
It is not because this is not the most
fascinatingly beautiful city in the
state. It is not because it is not the
only real inland water way in the state.
It is not because it is not the greatest
inland port with the greatest vessel
tonnage in the United States.
It is not for lack of good roads. It
it not for lack Of scenic country to the
north, with the most beautiful lakes,
the best canoeing, the largest forests,
the most game, large and small, and
the most fish in the state. Why, then,
is not Duluth on this highway? Sim
ply because it isn't. ~:

way, or seeking it, can cut off and come

injuries in an automobile accident in

brave little woman that she is, was at

professor Pepp" a Success.

Professor Pepp," a comedy present
ed by the high school pupils at the
armory last Friday night attracted a
large audience and proved to be an
excellent production. The characters
were all we'll taken, from the peppery
professor Pepp" to the minor parts,
and the applause given the actors
showed that the comedy was greatly
appreciated. It would be unfair to
give one participant in the cast more
praise than another, as each was per-

Of credit for the pains they took and

Stand by Burnquist.

The first duty Of every citizen in
time of war is loyalty to his govern
ment. We may divide on party lines,
but all parties should be loyal and are
presumably so. At the present time
the logical candidate for governor is
Gov. Burnquist. He is entitled to a
second term and is standing four
square behind the government. This
does not imply that other candidates are
not loyal but the one we have is loyal
and is entitled to a second term

Why not herd up all these pro-Ger-

had when they landed; sell the proper
ty they have accumulated and invest
it in Liberty bonds for the goodness of
a nation they couldn't appreciate;
place them in a boat and let them
navigate it through their beloved
kaiser's U-boat zone and, if they are
spared, they can get into the German
trenches and then we can deal with
them as they should heve been dealt
with before they started. A round
