SOME DOPE, BELIEVE mel

Politics is a game in which the
fellow who can tell the biggest lie
about his sincerity and earnestness
most often gets the most votes. II
Is dirty business and it's a puzzle to
us why it is so very attractive. The
charm about it is the salary, but the
politician is too shrewd to grow elo-
quent on what he intends to get for
holding Office, And for the graft, and
the side tips for voting to enact ordi-
nances repudiated by the administra-
ton. Some of these days we will
have men to run for Office that are
honest, but perhaps not so eloquent
at making promises, and who will
think more of serving the public than
for the money it takes to support
their little spineless backbones. As
Negroes we must be careful not to
choose political hirelings, who lack
the manhood to say no to big corpor-
atoms like. the street car companies.
And while we are on this subject
let us go a step further. The Negro
politician or Office holder should be
strongly intrenehed by honor, honesty
and fair dealing. He above al 9TH
ers should have the courage to be
blind and deaf to alluring brides. He
ought to remember that he is repre-
senting a people that suffers much
with no voice to appease that suffer
ing, that when he forfeits his honor
by the lack of courage in the exer-
else of his sworn duty, there is no
other resort, or resource for appeal.
He should remember that when he
barriers away the power his race has
conferred on him by electing him as
their representative, he has sold them
(his race) to the highest bidder.
Often the best fit to hold Office is
crooked, and cannot be made to see
straight. Frequently the novice be-
comes useful, but politics is so in
formally corrupt an honest man can
get but little show. The Organiza-
ton has its Gar, the Gear has no
conscience. Then there is political
satellite with somewhat of a halo
about his head. Then the henchman,
the candidate whose cloth is cut to
fit the anxiety of the organization
which puts him there, and tries to
keep him there whether the voters
want him to represent them or not,
and the Gar says the voters be
damned. (He doesn't say it outside Of
the committe caucus, and those with
In the rotten circle are afraid to tell
it; that is why their backs are spine
less) The voters are confronted at
the political meeting by speIIbinders,
men gifted with CAB, who can make
you warm in fervor and patriotism,

find yourself wrought up, and cheer

the interests who finance their periodical
sham battles.
Partisan plots form their habitual
answer to the cry for popular reforms
Enemies of the People.
Our government will remain ire
sponsive and irresponsible to the people
so long as it is controlled by men who
are responsive and responsible to the
enemies of the people. We who have
the liberty and well-being of our coun-
try at heart, the intelligent and liberal
citizens of the republic, are majority;
We can control our government. We
can meet this crisis and solve its pro
blems. BUT WE MUST UNITE. Only
by concerted action can we accomplish
political results. The strength of the
interest who rule the existing parties
has been that we have been scattered
and divided. We have followed a
oSCAi1Al1Sly vi one party
in one section of the country and en-
braced local issue of the opposite party
in one section Of the country and en-
braced a local issue of the opposite
party in another section, only to dis
cover again and again that we had done
nothing to shake the real control of either
party.
Brave Things Necessary.
1t is a time of grave peril and of great
hope. Brave and wise things must
be quickly done. 1t is day that we
hold in solemn trust, the trust of pos
terity, as our forefathers more than a
century ago held our present in trust.
The wheel has swung full-circle and it
has come to our generation to preserve
for to-day and tomorrow the liberty
that was won for us yesterday. We
must restore full liberty Of speech and
action and spirit and strike off the

Says Advisers Were Unheeded.
The advisers to the President were
there, but their advice was UNDECIDED
Professor Williams said in his testi-
mony before the foreign relations com
mittee that so far as the far east was
concerned
'.The settlements were made substan-
TALLY in accordance with secret treaties
that had been made during the prog
ress of the war, and before our en-
trance into the war"
So it has been in the settlement Of
European questions, and, according to
the dispatches recently at hand, so it
has been decided in the Austrian treaty
and in the partition Of the Ottoman
empire.

I say that if men have acted with
such dupGcity toward me once, I will
not put myself in their power again.
They may have their territory, they
may annex their lands, they may con-

HOUSE IN PROTEST
ST0R NJ OYER VETO
BURNQUIsT CONDEMNED FOR
WITHHOLDING SIGNATURE
TO ORE TAX BILL.
SPECIAL SESSION ENDED BY
NARROW VOTE MARGIN
IN SENATE.

Shortly before the arrival of Senator
Hiram Johnson of California, who
ad dressed the Minnesota State Legis-
lature on the League of Nations problem.
last Friday, a message had been read
to the two Houses embodying the veto
Of the Bendixen tonnage tax bill by
Governor -Burnquist. This veto togeth-
er with an unsuccessful attempt to keep
the lawmakers on the job for a fight to
repass the bill, created a sensational
climax to the special session, according
to reports from the capital
The House was in uproar as soon as
the clerk had finished reading the mes
sage Of the Governor. Representative
Bendixen, father Of the bill, insisted that
the Governor was presumptive in set
ting up his views on the matter, con-
trary to the overwhelming majority OF
the House. Never was a chief executive
more condemned on the floor of law
making body than was Governor Burn
quist. The lower branch has not felt
any too kindly towards Governor Burn
quist anyway. Yesterday the pent-up
feelings broke loose. Representative
Hammer of Stewartville referred to the
Governor as an angle worm" Others
demanded fish fight with the Cover
nor. The storm subsidized for time
because Senator Johnson of Californian
addressed both branches in joint ses-
sion No sooner had the California
senator left the hall, however, when the
fight broke out anew.
Senate Vote to Ad journ.
The House of Representatives, by a
vote Of SO to Is, voted to remain in
session. By a vote Of so to 81 the Sen
ate's action meant the end of the specia
session. 1t would have taken Joint
resolution, passed before noon Friday,
to have continued the special session.
Asks More Time.
In his message returning the. tonnage
tax bill without his signature, Cover
nor Burnquist stated that more time
should be taken for consideration.
He said that he was still Of the sane
opinion as he was 10 years ago, when
he voted against a tonnage tax as a
member Of the House. He added that
he believed it unjust to place additional.
taxation upon one section Of the state,
or upon single industry
The Governor explained that he did
not believe, as some dc, that the SO.
called tonnage tax issue will be elimi-
mated by the passage Of this bill. {

DANCE
DRAWS BIG CROWD
RULES FOR HOURS
AMONG HOPPERS ON MAIN
THOROUGHFARE.
LARGER ATTENDANCE EXPECTED
FOR SECOND DANCE, NEXT
THURSDAY.

A novelty entertainm ent of unusual
attractiveness was inaugurated in New
Ulm last Friday evening. People were
quick in catching up with the idea
and were there by the thousands when
Hofmeister's players tuned up their
instruments for the first dance on Mime
sofa street. Standing room on the
sidewalk near the dance floor" was
at premium and soon there was great
number Of men who proudly wore their
white dancing ribbon. But for the
moment they seemed to be stricken with
"stage fright" certain feeling Of un-
certainty what the others would say
and what the other fellow would do
seemed to hold the dancers back until
finally several prominent citizens stepped
forward and started to hop off. Others
then followed and soon the street, in
the roped-off section, was filled with
merry crowd.
Next Dance, Thursday.
There can be no doubt that every
body enjoyed the novel entertainment
immensely not only those who were
swinging there partners but also the
onlookers on the side walks. A con-
siderable number from the neighboring
villages and surrounding territory were
present. And it is to be expected that
their number will be much larger at the
occasion of the next dance which is to
be held tomorrow, Thursday, evening.
This time a part of the block between
Center and First North streets will be
roped-off for the merrynnakers. Tickets
will be sold at the four corners Of the
dance floor.
Trucks Furnish Stand.
The band stand was furnished by two
Of the largest trucks in the city. Hof-
,meister and nine Of his boys were sitting
on the platform Of the New Ulm Dray
Line'sblue Acne truck and OF the yellow
twin Of the New Ulm Grocery Company
About $40 were turned over to the
city officials. This money, as originally
planned, will be used forsome community
entertainment.
The following committee members
were in charge: Louis G. Vogel, VIM.

ing, R. M. Hicks and Herman Scheman.
