We aren't acquainted with the editor
of the Times but according to our
opinion he must be one Of those small
town editors who are unable to think
for themselves but just mimic the rest.
High time this small town stuff were
cut out.

It has been said that he who has no
enemies has no friends, and this is
specially true Of the editor. # he takes
no stand on proposition he makes no
enemies, but he also makes no friends
and his influence for right is minus
quantity. On the other hand if he
supports projects Of which he approves
and helps to defeat actions which do not
seem right to him he makes enemies.
But he also makes firm, lasting friends,
and he has the satisfaction Of knowing
that he has done his best.-E.

previously.
English exchange and the others
naturally made great decline dur
ing the war, because we were sending
over war materials, and Europe, busy
with war, had little to send back, but
the English pound used to hover around
S4.76. Last spring it got as low as
s4.60. This much could be laid to the
war.
But the present runous break can
be laid chiefly to bad policies follow
ing the armistice. We maintained
blockades around most of Europe for.
eight months and still maintain them
around Russia and Hungary. Conse-
quently Europe has not been able to
produce goods to swap with us and
so make the world market favorable
for our sales.

It's hard for any man to die, but it
seems to be especially hard for the self
styled patriots of the recent war. They
cannot forget the time when war hysteria
allowed them toasit on the throne and to
dictate to- their fellow citizens what to
say and what to think. We can easily
imagine how hard it must be for many
of them to get down from the high horse
and to take their places again among
the rest of US. But it would be the
better policy for them to look hard
facts straight in the face and to act
accordingly, that means to keep quiet and
try to forget the past. Because the
sooner the people forget their unholy
'doings the less they will have to suffer
at the hands of revengeful spirit which
it might be easy to stir up among gagged
populace..
The Springfield Free Press apparently
cannot see the light Of the new day.
Its editorials are still written in that
boastful spirit of dissatisfaction that
did not tolerate any other opinion along
side it's own infallible'' Judgment,
Editor Erickson is still using the old
catchwords of Loyalty, Patriotism and
Americanisn. He evidently is blind
to the fact that they will be Of little
service to him and the rest Of his like,
under the changed conditions of the
present day when everything points
TO a different Interpretation of these
words than was given them by handful
Of mouth-heores.
. The delegates to the Minnesota State
Federation of Labor who passed many
resolutions not to the liking OF Bro.
Erickson, and which were in open criti-
cism of the American government In
its foreign and domestic dealings did
not hail from New Ulm. There were
only about dozen New Ulmites among
the 500 labor representatives and yet
we witnessed the same "disloyalist'
spirit among the great majority Of them,
that seems to have such tantalizing
effect on the editor Of the Springfield
Free Press and some other gentlemen
from the profession. These wordngmen
spoke the sentiment Of the large majority
of the people and, in the opinion Of the
Springfield Free Press, they are far
from being Americanized, !" while in
truth they are more imbued with the
old American spirit Of democracy than
the selected few who are always ready
with lot of nice sounding phrases but
never have anything to show in the
way of corresponding deeds. Sapienti
sat!

As time flows on we become more and
more convinced that the bomb OUT
RACES" were part Of an expert conspiracy
to scare the American public into a fit
of reactionary hysteria. Some frantic
anti Bolsheviks apparently believe that
by exploding dynamite in front Of
peoples houses, and leaving on the scene
Of the explosion printed leaflets which
initiate the language of communist pro
paganda, they can destroy the credit Of
that propaganda and get the public into
state Of mind where it win let them do
anything to us that they want to.
These explosions are so violent that
they blow into shreds the body Of the
man who IS planting them, scattering
his clothes into 50 many pieces that one is
hardly able to decide what kind Of cloth
they were made d, but they never do any
damage to the leaflets that, he has in his
possession. It seems to be quite easy to
pick those up and read them through.
We are not sure, and no one can be
sure, but we believe that there are moi
enough terroristic anarchists in the
United States, with enough wealth and
Organization, to accomplish such con,
certed series Of explosions as those d
ilast April. We believe that the season
the perpetrators Of these extensive and
elaborate dynamitings have not beer
discovered IS that some important person
does not want to discover them.
We believe that if the Attorne,
General would allow Us 70 appoint 81
investigators and give them all thu
power that the present six thousand d
more possess, we could find these extreme
u expert and wealthy and well organized

OPEN FORUM.
Editor Review:

Dear Sir: As one OF those who
attended the meeting Of the flood strick-
en- farmers Of the Minnesota valley I
would like to say a few words in regard
to the question under consideration.
It. seems to me that in several instances
the hidden hand of a secret power could
be observed working against the realiza-
ton of the plans proposed by the new
organization. Why was it for instance
, that the chairman refused to put a
motion before the meeting to appoint
committee Of seven, with power to
start immediate action to make the
Minnesota river a judicial ditch? This
motion was seconded by at least %
men who evidently were heartily in
favor Of this proposition. To my mind
the. farmers will have to be on guard
to see to it that they will not again be
robbed of an opportunity to have this
matter adjusted according to their just
claims. The same danger, is lurking
again that killed off the movement
eight years ago and ever since. This
danger comes from a big water power
company that is working against the
building of water reservoirs in the
upper Minnesota valley. But these
reservoirs are an essential part of the
work that will bring relief to the affected
districts in the low lands. We always
are told that the building of the reservoirs
would cost too much. / do not agree
with this objection, for the following
reasons: By taxing all the farmers in
the contributary lands which would
not be more than just a contribution
of 10 cents an acre would fairly cover
the cost. Furthermore part OF the
expense could be paid later on by the
sale OF fish caught in the reservoirs, and
finally the reservoirs could furnish
electric power for many miles on both
sides of the river. This question of
building the reservoirs has been studied
for several years and / have been told
that there are number of places splen-
didly suited for that purpose One
could be built at Ortonville, another
one in the Lac Qui Parle region. Other
ideal places would be at Minnesota
Falls, near Montevideo, at Redwood
Falls and at Red Stone near New Ulm.
I wrote these lines to warn my fellow
sufferers to be on guard against any
outside interference with their plans.

With few exceptions, Canada released
all conscientious directors imprisoned
during the war. What is keeping Mr..
Wilson and Mr.. Baker from ordering the
release of the American boys? The
people also expect the speedy liberation
of all political prisoners in the United

RENEW WHITE PLAGUE FIGHT.
Most Determined Offensive Yet to BE
Wuged In South Carolina.

Columbia, Oct. 16.-The National
Tuberculosis Association, of which
the South Carolina tuberculosis AS
sociatiOn is Il member, is planning to
conduct the most aggressive fight
during the next twelve months
against tuberculosis that it has
waged since the organization was
formed, Miss Chauncey Blackburn,
bercuiosis Association, said to-day.
TO finance this fight throughout the
coming year more than 650,000, 900
Christmas seals will be sold during
December. South Carolina must
buy it's pro rata share Of these seals,
Miss Blackburn says.
"The hopeful aspect held out to the
tuberculosis sufferer" said Miss
Blackburn, sis one Of modern medi-
cal sciences chief contributions to
humanity. Back in the old days
when folks slept with their windows
closed tightly, believing night air
was dangerous, consumption was
thought to be absolutely fatal. Our
forefathers shook their heads
| solemnly, calling it tho will OF God,
| and the unfortunate victim was left
to his fate.
But science knows lot more
about the disease now than it did
| several decades ago. There is no
such morbid thought about the afftic-
ton to-day, for medical research has
proven that tuberculosis is both pre-
| ventahle and durable.
"Much Of the suffering caused by
the disease has been found to be
wholly unnecessary. Intelligence,
hygienic care Of ones body and right
living are the strongest factors in
keeping this menace away from
ones door. A verdict OF tubercu-
losis from ones doctor does not i'm
ply death warrant. 1t does mean,
however, that a radical change in
ones way Of living must be made.
| Chasing the cure means adopting
natures own methods. 1t means
abundance Of fresh air, sunlight
! good food, rest and a cheerful mind
all under the supervision Of a COM
petent physician.

At the recent term Of the Federal
Court for the Western District Of
South Carolina, those going before
Judge Watkins have been very
lucky in that not a single blank has
been drawn. 1t seems that in most
cases the Court is beginning to hand
out a little heavier punishment for
violation Of liquor laws.
Those sent back to Oconee are
are follows: Lester Cobb, sentence
three months and 100000 fine; Ben
Dodgin, sentence four months or
$4,000 fine; Boss Woods, sentence
four months and $4,000 fine; War
rem woods, sentence four months
and 100000 fine; John Trip, sen
tcnCc four months and $4,000 fine

announced that he intended to make
the sentences heavier still if ii took
that to stop the trlIiC in liquor.

LOOKING AFTER FEDERAL TAX.
Opportunity Giycn for Errors in Re-

Washington, D. c., Oct, Oct. II.
A special drive to locate mer-
chants and manufacturers who have
followed erroneous methods In MAX
their Inventories for the taxable
years 1917 and 191S-such methods
tending to reduce tax liability-is
about to be made by the Federal Bu-
reau OF Internal Revenue, it was an
nounced to-day.
In cases Of voluntary disclosure
before investigation Of failure to
make proper return and payment,
the policy Of the bureau, it was
stated, will be to forego penalties,
except where there is intentional
evasion Of the tax. Where the dis
covery is made by government OFF,
GERS heavy penalties will apply.
In some cases Inventories have
been found to have been taken on
the basis of average costs, though it
was possible to identify the articles
remaining on hand at the inventory

cost. In others. because OF conser-
Vative accounting methods, fiat per-

clude all merchandise to which they
have title in their inventory.
| All Of these methods, which have
the effect Of reducing tax liability,
are contrary to the regulations of
the bureau and are illustrstiye, 1t
was said, Of numerous irregularities
which have been found.
A warning issued by the bureau,
advises taxpayers who have followed
such methods to file correct returns
without notice and without inyesti-
cation. Some taxpayers have volun-
tarily notified the bureau Of the en-
ployment Of incorrect methods, and
are filing amended returns. 1t Is
