SOLDIER MEMORIAL,
PLANNED At FORT

CONSIDER BUILDING. AM
AUDITORIUM,
HOPED THAT RETURNING. BOYS
VILE. FAVOR R1DGEEY AS
A SITE.

movement has, been started in, Ren-
vile County whose. object it is to pro-
vide asuitable memorial for the returned
soldiers Of not only Renville, County.
but Of surrounding counties, INCLUDING
Brown County. It is planned to build
an auditorium at old Fort Ridgely and
to- make such: further improvements at
the old Fort that the boys can hold
their encampments. there every wear
ii they should desire to do SO.
Frank Hopkins, the well-known attor-
ney OF Fairfax is at the head of the
movement and he has been successful
IN securing the aid of other we'll known
citizens Of Renville, County in this pro-
ject, among them, Senator Herman
Schmechel of Renvillea County,. A meet
ing for the purpose of thoroly discussing
this project will be held at Fairfax, Mon
day May r.. Every. precinct of Rem
vile County will be represented at this
gathering, meetings having been already
held for the purpose=of selecting the rep
resentarives.
Other Counties
It. is planned: to interest the citizens
of Renville1 county, Brown county,
Nlcollet county, Sibley county and
Redwood: county,. these counties being
conveniently located to- the old fort
and making til accessible to all their
citizens without too long a. journey.
The work Of this gathering, will be only
preliminary, as it is not the intention
:to>do ANYTHING, unless the project meets
with the approval OF the boys who have
been in the service and assson of these
may not be hon for several months, it
is' doubtful if the movement Will take
tangible form until theboys are all back.
DeserS Consider rat: on. -,
So many, plans; have been suggested
for memorials to. honor. the hoys, that
this one is entitled to consideration also.
One of the reasons urged for memorial
at Fl. Ridgely is that the place is so
far from any municipality, that the.
mercenary spirit which might ordinarily
SHOW itself will practically be eliminated.
Years ago before the aa1to made it
appearance, the Fort would have been
practically out Of the question, but now
that nearly every one has his own car
or has access;t0 his neighbor's S, it is a pro-
ject that is entitled to more than mere
notice..
Popular Subscription.
One Of the questions that will neces-
sariIy come up for discussion at this pre-
liminary meeting wifi be the matter of
financing the proposition. This phase
has already been discussed in an informal
way by the ones at the head of the move
ment, but no definite plan has been agreed
upon. It is believed by them that the
expenses to be incurred should be taken
care of by popular subscription among
the citizens of the counties that decide
to participate in this kind of a memorial
to honor the boys and it is very likely
that such a plan will be adopted. At
any rate the ball will be started rolling
Monday, May IL, and thes promoters
will keep on pushing this proposition UNI
til the BOYS tell them that it does not meet
with their approval.

POSTMASTER HAAS
FREED BY JURYMEN
mot GUILTY" is THE VERDICT
AFTER TEN MINUTES
CELEBRATING.
ALL INDIRECT TESTIMONY IS
RULED OUT BY JUDGE
CONVERSE.

The case of John Haas, postmaster
OF Lamberton, who was tried at the Nav
session of the Redwood County District
court on the charge Of having violated
the Federal Espionage law of 1917.
was brought to a quick ending by YER
dict of ''Not Guilty" The iurv was
out only a little more than ten minutes.
The evidence of T. F. Moloney who had
sworn out the complaint proved too weak
against the testimony of John Haas,
his daughter Hattie and w. C. Niece,
and 1t was great vindication for Mr.
Haas that the jury came to, an agree
ment in record-breaking time.
Proves Loyalty.
In his defense, Attorney W. H. Denp-
sey OF New Ulm dwelt at length on the
patriotic attitude Of his client during the
wartime period, showing especially that
Mr., Haas always subscribed his full
allotment to the different liberty loans,
that he was instrumental in having over
a score Of boys enlist with the colors,
that he was active in other official and
unofficial war drives and finally pointed
out that Mr.. Haas never would have
been appointed postmaster Of Lam
berton had he not been an influential and
well-respected citizen in the community.
The statement Of Mr.. Moloney that
the defendant had told young men it
would be foolish to enlist was further
contradicted by Miss Hattie Haas,
daughter of Mr.: Haas, who was at the
postofice when the alleged remarks were
said to have been made.
Indirect Testimony Ruled Out.
Judge Converse Of Dakota county,
who was sitting for Judge Frank Clague
sustained objections raised against all
Indirect testimony. This ruling was
responsible for the fact that only one
supporting witness, Pliny Terry, was
heard. He had not proceeded far when
objections were raised and sustained by
the court
The case was called Tuesday, April
29, and given over to the jury the fol-
lowing day in the afternoon, with the
result mentioned above.
Another disloyalty case against Mr..
Haas of similar nature has been con-
tinued until the October term of the
court
Fined $50. ~.
Carl Struckmann, from near Lamber-
ton was fined $50 by Judge Clague. He
pleaded guilty to the charge of having
discouragedapeople from subscribing to
the liberty loans Of the government
His penalty was suspended, however
by the court.
The handling of these and similar
cases seems to show that the country
is getting over the wave of war mysteries
with the exception of some people at
Lamberton whose mental balance appa.
rently has suffered a complete break
down.

COUNTIES NOT ALL
ORGANIZED

The Republican expected to be alb
lie to print full list of county chair
men this week who would handle the
w. 8. 8. campaign the coming year,
but Director Odell has notified us
that about ten counties so far have
no chairmen, due to the fact that
some of the old chairmen have refus-
ed to help Uncle Sam now that the
war Is over. and he is having diff
Guilty in securing others to show that
they are ready to prove their patriot
ism and show their appreciation to-
ward the boys who have done their
duty.
II should be considered an honor
ITO serve as County Chairman for the
w. s. s. and those asked should be
willing to sacrifice something to heir
at this time.
We trust that Director odell will
be able very soon to supply us list
of the chairmen SO that the work car
lgo forward and the campaign Of
thrift make greater Roadway.
