Washington, D. C.-American edu-
Gators are launching a movement to
raise funds to rebuild the famous IL
brary of the University of Louvain,
destroyed by thes German invaders
early in the war; The city of Louvain,
| the "OxfOrd of the low countries" is
described in the following bulletin
from the Washington headquarters of
the National Geographic society:
"Not only the University of Louvain,
but the city is an object lesson in
Belgium and France by the German
army. Early in 1915 a group Of uni
versity professors of other countries
drew up petition expressing strong
Indignation and adherence at the
wholesale destruction of ancient build
ings that has marked the invasion of
Belgium and France by the Ger
man army and protesting in the
strongest terms against the continu-
ance of so barbarous and reckless a
policy.
German Professors Make Reply.
"To this a group of German univer-
sity professors, among them Gerhart
Hauptmann, Max Reinhardt and Ru-
dolph Eucken, replied that it was not
true that their troops had treated Bel
gium brutalIy but that, ANYWAY, we
must decidedly refuse to buy Ger
man defeat at the cost of saving a
work of art
eff Louvain has contributed little
to scientific achievement it had ire
mendous effect upon philosophic and
religious thought. 1t has been said
that the city's chief product was the
Ology. But Gernany's contempt for |
that kind of culture is reflected un-
in Baedeker's guidebook
Of 1910. which describes it is "a dull

The resolution to indorse the League was intro
duced by Henry G. Crepeau, member of the st.
Paul Pressmens union It was referred to the ex-
ecutive committee and re-referred to the execu-
tive board of the political league, It follows:
Whereas, for many years past organized labor
has contended for adequate and just laws for those
who labor from politicians elected from the differ

each legislative session, we have been tricked and
fooled by those whom we thought to be our friends
and

from time to time, secured pledges from candidates
who would agree to support labor legislation only

AS the truth about the Nonpartisan league pene-
trates the wall of public opinion, the sentiment
garding the organized farmers is becoming far
more temperate, and people who had previously
opposed the League violently are now giving it
at least grudging Endorsement. OF course, the
reactionary politicians, as usual, are far behind
the times, and they will never wake up until they

has been inaugurated through the formation of the
Working Peoples Nonpartisan Political league at
New Ulm, July 20, by delegates to the thirty-sev-
enth annual convention of the Minnesota State Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
The political conference at which the league had
its inception preceded the labor convention. Its
program of principles and plans later was indorsed
unanimously by the convention.
Steps were taken to bring about a combination
between the Working Peoples league and the Non
partisan league of the organized farmers.
The reasons why this move is imperative were
set forth in resolution offered by Henry c. Gre
peau, one of the labor delegates from St. Paul and
leader in organizing the Working Peoples league.
The resolution was referred to the executive council
Of the league for. consideration.
The two big organizations representing the
progressive forces in Minnesota are the Nonparti-
san league and the new Working Peoples league
A meeting of the officials of the Workers league
will be held in st. Paul to outline plans for
next years political campaign in Minnesota and
arrange for labor political convention in St. Paul
next March,
Labors decision to enter politics followed an
address by S. S. Mcdonald, president of the North
Dakota Federation of Labor
"I used to be against political action on the part
Of labor" he said "but I have found was badly
mistaken in my views. In the last North Dakota
legislature labor had two members of the house
and none in the senate. The legislature was con-
trolled by the Nonpartsan league farmers.
"We asked them for nothing. They exacted no
pledges or promises from us. All they did was
to inquire what laws organized labor in North Da-
kota wanted passed We submitted eight meas
ures. Every one is now on the statute books of
the state, and it cost organized labor just $110.
Before that had been dealing with od-line
party politicians, spent thousands of dollars and got
nothing. There is state now in which the labor
men wouldn't give 100000 to get the laws labor
got in North Dakota for $11O"
The action Of the Minnesota workers followed
closely decision of the Wisconsin federation to
indorse the Nonpartisan league.

Whereas, the organized farmers representa-
tves in the Minnesota legislature of 1919 stood
just as true to the principles of organized labor

"Be it resolved, that we indorse the organized I
farmers organization in the states of North Da-
kota and Minnesota and pledge ourselves to work
in cooperation with them in the future to secure
representation in our state and nation that will
make just and adequate laws for the welfare Of
the common people,"
The platform Of the Working Peoples Nonpar-
tisan Political league is follows:
"Grave industrial and political problems con-
front the American people today, which must be
solved correctly if the nation is to prosper and
endure.
GAS the outcome Of the war was to determine the
future of human freedom and progress, no sacrifice
was deemed too great to stay the blighting hand
of the ambitious militarists who sought to fasten
on mankind the odious rule of tyranny and reaction
"Now that the monstrous schemes of these mil
itary, industrial and political imperialists have
been defeated by the sacrifice of the lives and hap
piness of millions of men, women and children,
and the destruction of untold treasure it behooves
the common people, who the chief sufferers
from this unparalleled catastrophe, to prevent a
recurrence Of war by making such changes in the
industrial and political institutions as will remove
the need and the opportunity for that strife and
jealousy which always result in war.
"The representatives Of organized labor of Min
nesota, in state conference assembled, solemnly
adopt and proclaim these fundamental declara-
tions: ~.
II. That every human being is entitled to
an opportunity to earn living, and should be
fully protected in the just control of the fruits
of his labor.
"2. That the natural opportunities, together
with the machinery and skill in this country,

wants of the people if all who are willing and
able to work given the freedom to do so,
and that poverty and want among the many
and superabundance among the few is due to
maladjustments in our industrial system.
SO. That the opportunity for self-employment
has passed, in large measure, beyond the control
of the mass Of the people, the means and instru-
. ments of wealth production have become too ex-
pensive for the individual worker to own and too
complex to operate.

PEST OF THE MOVIE
The Man Who Reads Aloud the Ex-
planatory Paragraphs.

Fifteen years ago there began a ma.
tion-wide protest against what was
known as the theatre pest" the per.
son who persisted in talking in loud
whisper while the show was in pro-
giess. Everyone recognized that a
talkatiye person is an intolerable
nuisance, and the campaign for his
suppression almost eliminated him.
That was before the days of motion
pictures, and the conversations of the
theatre pest were confined to idle COS
sip, to comments on the play, to dis
cussicn of persons nearby, and such
trifes.
But now another kind OF a theatre
pest is among us. born of the picture
show. This pest is the one who reads
aloud the subtitles and explanatory
paragraphs that are thrown upon the
screen between acts. and who reads
them aloud for the benefit of all
around within radius of 10 or II
feet.
