ABOARD PRESIDENTS TRAIN
NEARING ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. g..
High living costs were expected to
be discussed today by President Will
son in an address to special ses-
sion of the Minnesota legislature.
The president has not yet, in his
ratification campaign. urged that the
treaty be speedily accepted to bring
down prices, but it was understood
he intended to use that argument at
an opportune time. The legislative
session was called to consider, among
other things, the high cost Of living.
Approaching st. Paul and Mime
apolis, Wilson passed through vast
acres of the nations food fields. He
seemed greatly interested and was
ready to talk TO the FARMERS who
hurried from the fierds to shake
hands whenever the tram stopped.
Wilson faced full program in the
Twin Cities. Three speecnes were
sch eduled, the first before the legis-
lature in the morning, afternoon in
Minneapolis, and evening at st. Paul
He also planned to attend Governor
BurnquistNs luncheon at noon. Al
though no speech was arranged
there, 1t was believed he might speak
briefly.
Wilson Is hammer1ns on hfs argu-
ment that ratification rs essential
from a purely American standpoint
and that the country will suffer if
It refuses to join the league. He
pictures an American government
ruled by a military caste If the treaty
is refused His assertion that pro-
Germans were again raising their
heads in America as a result Of de-
lay IN ratification. hoping that
America and Germany would be the
nations to remain outside the league
of nations, created sensation IN
Sioux Falls last night
Wilson is in good physical condi-
ton and is standing the strain Of his

clan, DR.. Grayson, declared.
Before leaving Sioux Falls the
president came out ON the rear plat
form and was applauded by a small
crowd which came down TO see him
off. His reception in Sioux Falls was
rather quiet. There were enough

mystery still surrounds the douole
murder of Mary e. Messmer and Nor
man w. Shear, whose bodies We're
found with Shears automobile On a
lonely highway near Kenmore yester-
day. Medical Examiner Cook scouts
the idea Of suicide, as no weapon has
been found.
On the road at the left side of the
car there was a pool of blood. Lead
ing from it, blood stains traced the
way one hundred feet to the rear,
where the girls body lay. Her outer
clothing had been torn, indicating d
struggle. Her stockings and under
clothing were bloodstained and coated
with mud, apparently caused when she
dragged herself along the road from
where she had first fallen at the side
of the car.

VATICAN JOINS HANDS
WITH WORLD DEMOCRACY

the pope faced the necessity OF recns-
nizing democracies or practically dls-
appearing from the diplomatic "oFiu.
Pope Benedict has frankly annouhcsu
his choice of the former.
One almost certain result or tnls
policy will be eventual resumption OF
political and diplomatic relations
with France and Italy, thus gaming
support in the two leading Catnohc
countries of Europe, move whlcn
will make UP for the loss or lhlLo-
ence in Austria Hungary. The move
ment for reconciliation with polltlcal
governments is already well ad-
vanced in Italy.
In his letter to Cardinal Lucon'
the pope said, in part:
"The great outstanding fact IN the
world today is the ever strengthen
ing current everywhere towards de-
mocracy. The proletarlat classes, as
they are called, having taken the pre-
ponderant part in the war, desire IN
every country TO derive theretrom
the maximum advantage.
unfortunately, this is often push
ed to excess. They would oyertuln
the social order, which human nature
renders necessary to the detriment
of everybody.
"The Catholic church has always
loved those who suffer and has al
ways taught that public powers
established for the common good
must work especially to improve con-
ditions of those who suffer.
"That is why the Catholic clergy
must not oppose the proletarian re-
vindications, but must favor them.
provided they remain within the
limits of honesty and tustice.'

"The need of consolidating the

Alexander pointed out that not only
must economy be practiced, but saw

Another Of the objects, under

living is one of those things which
is so complicated, ramifies in so many
directions, that it seems to me we
cannot do anything in particular
about it without knowing how the
particular will affect the whole.
1t is dangerous to play with com
plicated piece of machinery, piece by

the cost of living at present is a
world condition. 1t Is due to the fact
that the man power Of the world has
