PolNpExTER IS RIGHT.

nnHE have little patience and certain
W iy no tolerance for the policy
or lnaction in dealing with that radi-
cal element drifting into the United
States from European shores and
largely responsible for stirring up in

That reason we can not help but in
dorse the warning given by Senator
Poindexter in the United States senate
this week. While not desiring to go as
y his statement there is real danger
that the government may fall, we ugree
with him that there has been "supine
inaction." If we are to rid this coun
try of soviet and other as radical ideas
weSw will have to move about sharply
to corral those radicals who have moth
ing but theory to advance and have
lost all sense of practicability.
There is nothing to indicate that the
American laborer is any more in sym
pathy with the radicals than is Sena-
tor Poindexter. If the truth were
known the former dcplores the con-
tinuai labor agitation us much as any
one This is not so true with regard
to many of the leaders--whose self
appointed heads of labor organizations

flame every petty grievance of the la
boring ma. While there are employ
ers and employe, working conditions
can not BIO perfect. Men who employ
and men who work for others, must
give and take. Both must be fair. The
man who is employed must develop
loyalty to the employer or to the in
dustry in which he is engaged. If he
fails to, he is neither of benefit to him
self nor his employer. There has been
too much OF the desire to complain
about small things and very frequently
unintentionally to 90 harm, but often

Constant complaint follows the

never have thought possible had they
been left to themselves. Labor can no
more thrive than industries, unless
there is a desire to work on a fair and
equal basis. They are dependent one

Is no doubt doing the greater part of
its work silently but none the less eff

however, by Senator Poindexter and
others if they point out to the depart

even greater activity. The revolutions

larly the foreign radical who believes

While this is In progress the ports of

later to open them and exercise the

The Minneapolis Tribune. in its

The Minneapolis Tribune, in it's issue of last
Thursday devoted more than six pages to the re-
turning of the 151st artillery. The splurge
that is being made over these lads is enough to
turn the head of most any individual, and if the
boys of the battery get through the ordeal OF
homecoming without having it affect their heads
it will be because of the discipline that the army
has given them-New Ulm Review.
The above is from Albert Steinhauser's paper,
which publication contained critical or slurring
remarks of the splurge that made when the
soldiers under Hindenberg and Ludendorff return
ed to Berlin after they were defeated by the allied
forces.-Mankato Free Press.
Did the Press ever know Albert to slur anything
but the things that were characteristic of strictly
alI-wool Americanism?

BOY SCOUT WEEK.

!" HE NATIONWIDE campaign TO be car
ried on during the week of June 8-14 for
the Boy Scout movement is part of larger
and continuous effort to make the Boy Scouts
stronger by arousing the interest of the whole
community. The Boy Scouts have done wonders.
1t is possible for them to do still greater Won
ders if the individual citizens everywhere stand
back of the organization, not merely with money
support, but with intelligent advice and direct CO.
operation. Even on the financial side the effort
of Boy Scout Week is not so much to get money
into the treasury for immediate needs as it is
to secure pledges of regular and wise support.
It. is said that there are about zen million boys
in the country between the ages of twelve and
twenty-one. AS only about third of million
are now enrolled in the Boy Scouts, it is evident
that there lis boundess room for growth. 1t is
hoped that this campaign will add million asso
ciate members and will be permanent and valu-
able increase in the moral and personal support
which the organization needs and should have.
The training of our boys through the Boy Scouts
organization, largely through outdoor exercise
and nature study, has already brought forth nota-
bic results in good citizenship and helpfulness
The Boy Scouts, for instance, in the first four
Liberty loans obtained subscriptions amounting
to over $275,OOOOO0 although their canvassing
could fOlloW only a1Cer the regular Loan OOm-
mittees had covered the ground pretty thorough
"; the boys have sold over $5O,OO0,OOO worth of
War Stamps; they did peculiarly valuable war
service in locating standing walnut trees. much
needed for rifle stocks; they co-operated in gar
den work, in collecting fruit pits for gas masks,
gathering books, distributing Government liter
ature, and in many other ways. They have now
adopted as peace cry, "The war is over, but our
work is not"
The thing the Boy Scout need most is not en-
thusiasm among the boys, for that is abundant
but intelligent aid in organizing and managing
the branches everywhere and in spreading the
knowledge of the movement among all American
citizens. President Wilson in his proclamation
of Boy Scout Week recognizes this when he re-
commends that "in every community Citizens
Committee under the leadership of National
Citizens Committee be organized to cooperate In
carrying out programme for definite recogni-
ton of the effective services rendered by the
Boy Scouts of America; for survey of the facts
relating to the boyhood of each community, in
order that with the cooperation of churches,
schools, and other organizations definitely en-
gagged in work for boys adequate provision may
be made for extending the Boy Scout programme
to larger proportion Of American boyhood -

Redwood Falls has a large Red Cross member
ship-the city has been proud of that in the past.
But less than thirty women represented the
branch in the Red Cross parade, and very many
less than that assisted the few willing workers
who served lunch to the boys on Decoration Day.
As usual it devolved upon few women to bear
the brunt of the work for the whole branch. Some
of them even went so far as to march both to
and from the cemetery and then come down to
the armory to help serve the boys, clean up the
armory kitchen etc, while other spent practically
the entire day in this same kitchen doing the
work that should have been shared by at least q
dozen more women. There is something mighty
unwomanly about a womanhood that refuses to
60 fifty fifty in the work at time like this. No
woman should have been required to both march
and help serve, no women should have been ask
ed to both prepare the luncheon and do the neces-
sary work afterwards. But because of the slack
ers in our midst that is exactly what happened
and happened in several cases in this instance to
women who were not physically fitted to stand
the strain.
