Minneapolis Procession Is Pa
geant of American Ideals.
National Headquarters Goes to In
dianapolis While Cleveland Gets
Next Convention,

Minneapolis, Nov. 12.-All America
marched in Minneapolis Armistice
day parade.
The eyes, and hearts, and hopes of
the nation followed the 10000 men
who marched. On them devolves the
fulfilment Of the promise America
gave the world when she entered the
great war, and as they marched state
by state and rank after rank, between
the watching, cheering thousands, the
, confidence of humanity in a new and
better world order marched with them.
It was Minneapolis celebration of
the signing of the armistice--yet the
line of march became in fact solemn
pageant of the states, for with the SER
vice men, many of them grouped in
service units and khaki clad, who
fought as Minnesota's own, marched
the chosen representatives of Ameri-
cas- only knighthood, the American
Legion. Their gathering here for the
first convention of the order gave the
day it's deep significance.
Permanent national headquarters of
the American Legion were voted by
the first constitutional convention to
Indianapolis. The 1920 convention
was awarded to Cleveland. The final
vote on the headquarters question re-
suited: Indianapolis, 361; Washing
ton, 1923. Minneapolis, Kansas City
and Detroit were eliminated on the
preliminary ballot.

Washington, Nov. H. President
Wilson's message to the country on
armistice day is as follows:
TO My Fellow-Countrymen:
"A year ago tod" our enemies laid
down their arms in accordance with
an armistice which rendered them i'm
potent to renew hostilities, and gave
to the world an assured opportunity
to reconstruct it's shattered order and
to work out in peace new and juster
set of international relations. The
soldiers and people of the European
allies had fought and endured for
more than four years to uphold the
barrier of civilization against the ag.
gressions of armed force. We our
selves had been in the conflict some.
thing more than a year and half.
with splendid forgetfulness of
mere personal concerns we remodeled
our industries, concentrated our finan'
cial resources, increased our agricul.
tural output, anG assembled a great
army, so that at the last our power
was a decisive factor in the victory
We were able to bring the vast re.
sources, material and moral, of a great
and free people to the assistance OF
our associates in Europe who had
suffered and sacrificed without limit
in the cause for which we fought.
"Out of this victory, there arose
new possibilities of political freedom
and economic concert. The wal
showed us the strength of great ma
lions acting together for high pur
poses, and the victory of arms fore
tells the enduring conquests which
can be made in peace when nations
act Justly and in furtherance. Of the
common interests Of men. To US In
America, the reflections of Armistic
day will be filed with solemn pride in
the heroism of those who died in the
country's service, and with gratitude
for the victory, both because of the
thing from which it has freed US, and
because Of the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with
peace and justice in the councils Of
nations"

A BIT OF HISTORY.

F.. Bowlus Advance: Last week we
published an article from the leading
labor paper in Duluth favoring a ton.
mage tax on iron ore. This week we re-.
produce letter, or part Of one, telling
how the largest iron mines on TIL range
were acquired. This is not news to a
good many. The editor Of the Ad
'ance has known Of it a good many
years. We know Mr.. Hatch personal
ly, and know him to be an honest, in
telligcnt and law-abiding citizen OF
Battle Lake, Otter Tail county, Mimi
The following is the part uf = let

irg the acquisition of the iron ranges
by the steel interest:

Rockefeller clear title to the land.
