In rs years from now we have
reasons to believe that no complaint
Of bad roads will be made by the far
mer-in fact he will not care whether
there are any highways in existence
or not. At that time, or probably be-
fore, the tiller of the soil will take
his family to church or to do shopping
in his lightweight a1rplane, while for
heavy loads, such as taking potatoes
to market, he will use his truckplane
Of several tons capacity. Insteads of
automobiles splashing through the
mud, colliding with other machines
and being put out of commission bv
various accidents, the airplane will sail
through space and alight at any given
point as easily as fly alights on an
illuminated nasal protuberance. The
armament will be as full of these ma
chimes as it is of swallows in the sum-
mertime. Everybody who can possibly
afford it will have one. Many people
who read this will characterize s. as
a dream, but we ask them to merely
remember it as a prediction pre-
diction which we believe will ma
terialize.

In China the mills Of justice grind
in a very different way from those in
the United States. For instance, in
the case of the murder of Hung Chi
Tsu by Sung Chiao Jen the defendant
was at first sentenced to life imprison-
ment, but he appealed and the supreme
court ordered that he be dragged to
the market place and decapitated with
a broadsword. It does not pay to kick
on sentences in China. Now had this
Chink been found guilty of bank
wrecking or grating he would not
have been sentenced to Imprisonment
in the first place his execution would
have been ordered. This is doubtless
the main reason why Chinese in their
own country have a reputation for
honesty, but when they come over
here it does not take them long to learn
the tricks of American crooks. It
is a good thing for that infamous
bank-wrecking scoundrel, Schafer,
that he did not commit his felonies in
China.

So the house interstate commerce
committee has reported favorably to
repeal the so-called daylight saving
law on the last Sunday in October.
This law has it's friends and it's enc
mics. Farmers, especially, are against
it, and they have good reason, but the
last congress was so imbued with laxi-
ty that it failed to take cognizance of
thousands Of petitions containing mil
lions of names asking that the law be
repealed. From our point of view it
was the most foolish piece of legisla-
ton ever put through, Upon the
day when congress enacted this law
the sun was so wrathy that he or
dered his dogs from his presence.

Labor Situation Serious.

The labor situations getting serious.
In spite of the thousands of returning
soldiers, employers everywhere are
crying for help and more help. Com
mon labor, especially, is most difficult
to secure. A road contractor sent in
a request to a Minneapolis employment
agency last week for four laborers at
so cents an hour. In weeks time
they sent him one man. Road work
is being held up for lack Of men.
Freedom county is ready to let sixty
thousand dollar road contract but there
are no bidders, because contractors
dare not take on any more work. The
cry Of "give the returned soldier a
job" is becoming myth. Yet, they
say that on the eastern seaboard, there
are thousands Of idle men. It can't
be true or the situation would read
just itself in the west.-Albert Lea
Standard.

This league to enforce peace" So
called, is one of the craziest organiza-
lions ever given birth in America. It's
real aim is to cajole the United States
senate into ratifying the league of
nations document as it now stands,
verbatim ct literatim, and this it is
endeavoring to do by sending letters
to every voter in the country request
ing him to write the senator from his
district that this be done. Even
though Pacifst Bill Taft is president
of this league, the people are respond
ing very feebly to the request-they
are satisfied to abide by the decision of
the senate and not bother it's members
with lot of damphool letters which
they will never read.

1t must necessarily be costing Hank
Ford an enormous sum of money to
maintain that press agency which is
operating under the name Of mount
Clemens News Bureau" This So
called news bureau" was apparently
given birth for the purpose of supply
ing free to such papers as will stand
for the stuff Hanks press agents re-
ports of the court proceedings in his
libel suit against the Chicago Tribune.
Ford is great advertiser-a portion
of which he pays for, and the rest goes
forth from his press agents as news"
which many an unsophisticated coun-
try newspaper prints with thanks to
those who furnish the camouhagity.

Congress has not yet acted upon
the immigration bill recommended by
Samuel Gompers and the first thing
we know thousands of undesirable
aliens -bolshevists, anarchists and
others of like stripe-will be pouring
into this country. The measure above
referred to provides for the prohibi-
ton of immigration for a period of
four years, and it should have been
one of the first passed at the extra
session-the tinkering on woman suf-
frage could have been postponed.

Suckers are still biting on wildcat
mining propositions, one Of the latest
victims of sharks being Edward W.
Backus, wealthy Minneapolis lumber
man and president of the Backus-
Brooks company. Mr.. Backus, who is
considered shrewd business man,
permitted himself to be swindled out
of $4,000 in purchase of worthless
Alaska property. One would scarcely
think that man of Mr.. Backus' bust

vestigated, but the sharpers were
sharper than he. -..'.. ...

It is stated in Paris dispatch that
United States and British diplomats
have authentic information of the for
mutation Of secret pact between ia
pan, Germany and Russia, which it is

It CRATES on the average Americans
nerves to read in the dailies that
Schafer, the rascally wrecker of ID
banks, was permitted to ride to Still
water in Sheriff Martinson's car in
stead of going there in the way crimi-
nails are usually conveyed by street
car. Had Schafer been convicted of
horse stealing or something Of that
sort he would have been conveyed to
the penitentiary in shackles, but this
scoundrel,. who bankrupted scores of
farmers, is treated as if he were
prince. Why this discrimination?

Here is one of the many ways in
which the government is "making
money" out of material left over from
the war: 2,716 airplanes and 4,6O8
engines of "obsolescent" type have
been sold to the Curtiss Airplane COM
pany for $2,72O,00O; the original cost
was $22,5OO,000. These machines
could not be used because of defects,
and the purchasers will remodel them
and place them on the market.

1t is estimated that the idle rich of
Germany have struggled across the
border and deposited in the banks of
neutral countries, in order to evade
taxes, over a billion dollars. But we
do not care continental where they
deposit their money so long as they do
not insinuate their presence into the
United States. Let congress hurry up
with the immigration bill advocated
by Samuel Gompers and there will be
no fear of this.

"What is the reformed spelling
board?" asks a contemporary. AS
near as We can determine it is board
of cranks and faddists organized to
mutilate the English language and re-
move it's beauty-metamorphose it's
photography into a hodgepodge at
which even Fiji islander would turn
up his nose. But the worst feature of
the matter is that some of the So
called educators are introducing this
abominable form of spelling into the
schools: We're Webster, the lexi-
cograpler, alive today he would be
tempted to dynamite the fool re-
formed spelling board into perdition.

seem to have had an opportunity, all
right, but whether they embraced it
or not we are unable to say. Well
founded charges of extravaganza and
that sort of thing have been made
against the government from all parts

proof that graft entered into this
reckless spending of the peoples

1t is evident that the Sentinel edi-
tor of Sank Rapids abominates street
carnivals. One of those itinerant
fakes recently appeared at the Rapids
and the manner in which he throws
the javelin into the aggregation of
humbugs makes interesting reading
and he does not roast them too holly.
A street carnival is not only a nuis-
ance, but it takes large sums of money
from community which legitimate
concerns would otherwise get.

Now the shortage of German guns
is worrying congress-it has not
enough to accommodated the towns which
have been promised one apiece for
trophies, and hundreds of bills have
been passed ordering the secretary of
war to deliver them. AS way out of
this dilemma we would suggest that
Hindenburg be compelled to deliver
up the guns he was ordered to turn
over but failed to so do.

A document has been drawn up by

that the United States shall render
