Minimum Wage
Law Attacked
Telephone Company Brings Action
in Goodhue County Court
Supreme Court Next

Validity of new Minnesota minimum
wages is attached in an action brought
by the Goodhue county district court
by the G. O. Miller Telephone. COM
pany, following many protests from
independent telephone companies that
the ordered schedules are unreason-
able and confscatory.
An order to show cause why en-
forcement of the recent minimum
wags orders for women and minors
and also for apprentices should not
be restrained, temporarily, was issued
by Judge Albert Johnson of the Good
hue county district court, returnable
at 2 P. NJ. September 18, and served
yesterday on John P. Gardiner,
Charles w. Gordon and Eliza P. Evans
as the Minnesota minimum wage
commission.
The orders are alleged to have been
made without authority and to be void
mainly on the grounds that the fix
ing of a week of rty-eight hours,
as a general and reasonable standard
of employment, was made arbitrarily
and that the minimum wages were
fixed without proper investigation of
living costs on which they are to be

by neighbor. In his haste the boy
ran over $500 stand of bees and in
ten minutes looked like warty sum
mer squash. His father ran to his
assistance, and failing to notice the
barb wire fence, ran into that, cutting
hole in his anatomy and running a
SIS pair of trousers. The old COW took
advantage of the gap in the fence and
got into the corn field and killed her
self eating green corn. Hearing a
racket, the wife ran out, upset four
gallon churn full of cream into bas-
ket of little chickens, drowning the
entire batch. In her haste she drop
ped $35 set of false teeth. The baby
having been left alone, craWled thru
the spilled cream into the parlor, ruin
ing a brand new $25 carpet. During
the excitement the oldest daughter
ran away with the hired man, the dog
broke up eleven setting hens and the
calves got out and chewed the tails
off four fine shirts on the clothesline.
The moral is obvious. Northfeld

In spirit the Imperial Republic con-
tinues the Prussian Empire, and the
world will have to reckon with the
same old intrigues, propaganda, cor
ruption, exploitation and threats.
With this difference, however, that
whereas the Empire in every sense
was strong, the Republic in every
particular starts weak. So accustomed
have we been to German strength
that today we scarcely envisage Ger
man weakness. We take it for grant
ed that from that weakness Germany
will recover over night, miraculous
ly: but the German leaders, despite
their bluff, are not the victims of any
such illusion. They know that it is
a question whether Germany can ever
recover, and they are increasingly
solicitous for American aid
We hear of German plans in Mexi-
co and Argentina, throughout Latin
America. No doubt, there is some
such plan. What is doubtful is
whether Germany has longer the abil-
ity to promote, to finance, to carry
through any such plan. The plan,
if successful, would be hostile to our
interests, of course, and contemplates
even challenge to the hegemony of
the United States in the Western
Hemisphere. So obvious is that con-
tingency that our fnanciers, who are
considering to what extent to under
write German enterprises, may well
pause in order to determine how far
they are being asked to finance dis
tinctly inimical schemes that purpose

against the United States.
Asia, Africa, Oceanica are barred
areas henceforward to Germany. The
only virgin region in which Germany
has chance to recoup her fortunes
lies between the Rio Grande and Cape
Horn. The Portuguese part of Lat
in-America will have no dealings
with her, Brazil feeling antagonism
and having cordial relations with the
United States. But Spanish Latin
America might be organized econom-
ically, and ultimately in military
fashion against us. The scheme dates
back to the time of our war with
Spain, and has provided Spain itself
as a base for which to operate.
That the scheme would be against
our interests and even dangerous,
needs no elucidation.
It's weakness lies in the weakness
of Germany. The old will and malice
may reside in her still, but in large
measure she is deprived of the old
ability. Will she have any ability at
all, is the question. Not for some
time anyhow, and not at all, unless
she can persuade capital from coun-
tries recently at war with her to
come to her aid.
Putting Germany on her feet might
be worthy and also profitable opera
tion, provided she will work in good
faith to fulfill her obligations and to
rehabilitate her own people as go
ing concern. But to finance Ger

per cent were physically unfit. Among
a similar number from farms the per-

the farm is evidently better for the
health of youngsters than city life.
But this is not the only advantage.
Several years ago the Editor made a
study of the proportion of farm-born
men amongst those holding various
positions of responsibility. Of the
Presidents, up to and including Presi-
dent Taft, ninety-two per cent were
either born on farms or had spent
a portion of their youth there. Ninety

In every case the proportion from

LEMON IS WELL KNOWN
 ON THE LOWER YUKON

Since inquiry was made for Fred Lemon several days ago through the columns of The News, fully a dozen oldtimers have supplied the desired information, the last to call at The News office being Mrs. Charles Stan ford, who has known Lemon for d considerable time, and who saw him late last fall as she was on her way to Nenana from the lower Yukon.
 Mrs. Stanford says that Lemon s operating a trading post this winter about 100 miles from Andreafsky, his nearest postoiiice address. Last summer he was engaged in fishing for the Carlisle cannery and cleaned up tidy sum for his seasons work. He fished with one of the Goyne boys.
 In addition to telling The News about the missing man, Mrs. Stan ford went to the trouble of writing a letter to Lemons sister, who made the inquiry.
The Nenana daily news., 1919-12-30

Charles A. West, Wrangell wharfinger, suffered a severe injury recently when his leg was shattered ky bullet from the revolver of an Indian passenger on one of the boats landing there The revolver was in suitcase, and when it was thrown off on the dock il went of, the ball striking West, shattering the bone of his leg, and probably necessitat- ing amputation.

direct from 8 winter in the Arctic regions. And he is an oldtimer in the North, having first invaded the fur country for the Hudson's Bay company about 35 years ago, since which time he has spent just 20 weeks Outside. He spends most of his time in the Arctic, but has, on different occasions, visited every sec ton of the Territory, and was in business for a time on the lower Yukon. In his expeditions to the
 Far North he usually travels alone, experience having demonstrated to his satisfaction that he can make
 better time that way.
 Asked regarding the quality of furs in Alaska, Mir. Smith gave 1t as his opinion that the upper Kan tishna produces the best furs in Alaska, its only equal being a small area in the Kobuk country And he says that he has found Nenana a veritable storehouse of furs, in spite of the fact that he was in formed that he would not be able to do much business here. He has already bought relts valued at more than s1,500, and expects to make many additional purchases before he leaves toward the end of the present week
 Like the Hudson's Bay company, the concern with which Mfr. Smith is identified maintains large trading posts in various sections of the coun- try, one of the larges.. of which is at Point Barrow-a regular depart ment store, where the natives may secure everything they need in the way of food, clothing, house fur nishings, and fuel And the natives of that district are very prosperous, he says, their homes comparing very favorably with those of their white brothers in Alaskan towns. The houses are clean, well furnished, and we'll stocked with provisions. with usually substantial reserve of furs for a bad season. In a num- Der of the cabins, MT. Smith found furs valued at s1,OOO or more.
 MT Smith is making his head quarters at the Cooney hotel during his stay in Nenana.
