proximately sixty per cent of the high
way traffic of the state will be hauled.
While standard types other than
concrete were favorably considered by
the Illinois commission, it is interest
ing to-note that nothing was considered
a permanent road that did not have a
concrete base.
The macadam road, whether water
bound or asphalt-bound, is in effect
soft bottom road. AS city street or
as rural trunk highway for motor
traffic it has usually failed. So have

Kellogg Wants to Know.

Washington, May 21.- Senator
Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota intro
duced resolution in the senate asking
the war department to send, to con-
gress complete and detailed report
of its action during the war with re-
gard to conscientious objectors. The
resolution was sent to the military
affairs committee, which probably will
make it subject Of inquiry.
Senator Kellogg's resolution cites
published statements that the war de-
partment ordered conscientious OBJ
jectors honorably discharged with full
pay, and states that 'tthe people Of the
United States, particularly those who
served faithfully in the military SER
vice, are entitled to complete, true
and detailed report of the action of the
war department

The Best Type of Highway.

The rising popular interest in better
roads brings out much discussion as to
the most suitable type Of paving; and
the discussion reveals much lack of in
formation as to the wearing qualities
of the standard types.
Direct light on this point is given by
the recent decision Of the Illinois high
way commission to spend eighty-fve
million dollars on a type Of roadbed
by conference Of the North
ern Mississippi valley states. This
road consists of a slab Of concrete
seven inches thick at the edges and
eight inches thick in the center for
sixteen and eighteen foot widths. Over
a country road system Of this type,
which will comprise five per cent Of

Potato Shippers Win Case.


Northwestern potato shippers are
upheld in their demands for protection
of their product when shipped in open
boxcars, in decision of the interstate
commerce commission made public
yesterday. The decision comes as the
elimination of fight of many months
duration waged by shippers in protest
against freight tariff rule promul-
gated by the railroads in 1915, which
provided that carriers would not be
liable for damage or loss from heat,
cold, pilferage, or leakage where the
side doors Of boxcars were cleated
open. Not only potatoes are affected
but other root products.
BY the finding of the commission the
non-liability rule Of the railroads is
a violation of the Cummins amend
ment to the interstate commerce act.
This amendment places the liability
upon the carriers. A recommendation
was made by the commission that the
carriers remedy present conditions by
use Of boxcars whose doors are COW
cred with screens or by placing more
men on guard over shipments.

and Mr.. and Mrs. Robin, trying to build
a nest on a fence post, were having
trouble with the foundations. So the
worthy gentleman and his wife came
to their assistance, he with bits Of
moss and she with several lengths of
white cotton string, which is "an
orthodox part of every robins nest. "
Together the human nest-builders
made the foundations fast to the post,
and were rather surprised to see that
the robins regarded it as good work so
far as it went. Mrs. Robin improved
it by tucking in all the lose ends of
cotton string, added the finishing
touches, and the robin family settled
down in their new home for the sum
mer. And now the gentleman wonders
whether he is not the "first person
who ever made a nest for bird and
had it accepted" AS very likely he is,

Using Uniforms to Beg.

OSAAE OAAAVA NNS w OCk.
Frank D. Roosevelt, acting secretary
Of the navy, has issued a letter to the
police authorities throughout the coun-
try asking them to cooperate in pre-
venting naval uniforms from being
used fraudulently by beggars and So
licitors. ''There is little or no neces-
sity," he says, 'of discharged sailors
begging or soliciting to obtain funds
under the plea of being stranded away
from home. Sailors who have been
discharged have been so released at
their wn request. Many discharges
were made on the grounds that sailors
had positions awaiting them or that
they wanted to return to school.
''These already have received or are
entitled to the $50 bonus. In addition
they were paid cents mile from the
place. Of their discharge to their
homes" ....-.--. .1.S
In his communication he says that
many of the so-called discharged sail
ors in reality never were enlisted in
the navy but have obtained uniforms
from other sources and are capitalize
ing them.

May Grant More Time

Paris, May 21.-The allies probably
will grant some extension of time to
the German peace delegates while per-
fecting plans for the occupation of
Germany.
They are unable to define the in
tention of the Germans, though a ma
jority still is of the opinion that the
Germans will sign. It can be affirmed
again that the present German delega-
tion will not sign unless material
changes are made or unless the Ebert
government shifts suddenly at Yer
sailles. The Germans admit that the
Independents are gaining some ad-
herents, but it is uncertain what politi-
cal developments may occur in Ger
many. It seems altogether unlikely
that the signing of the treaty will take
place before June 10, perhaps not be-
fore June Is.

Baseball Dance

The baseball dance given by the
Princeton ball team management at
the armory last Friday night proved
to be one Of the biggest social affairs
of the season. The large local crowd
was greatly increased by parties from
Milaca, Foley, Foreston, Ogilvie, Zim-
norman, and in fact, some represen-
tatives from nearly all of the towns
and villages within a radius of rs
miles. The big attraction was the
excellent music, the committee in
charge having secured the same or
chestra that made such a hit at the
firemen's ball. This jazz orchestra
sure lived up to it's reputation and kept
the large. crowd on the Jump right
from the start until along in the wee
hours of the morning. The music was
good, the floor was good, the roads
were good and the weather was good.
Naturally, with this combination, the
affair couldn't help but be "a big suc-
cess. 1t was also success financially

Why Not Organize?

Our county is one of the few in this
state which has not yet taken advan-
tage Of it's unusual opportunity to
obtain funds for health work. We
have already earned this money
through the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas seals. We have but to use it for
public health work to make it ours.
The Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation offers to every county-free of
cost-the advantages and benefits Of
local public health work. There is but
one proviso, which is that we organize
a county public health association for
the carrying out and financial supervi-
sion of public health work in our coun-
ty.
While the securing of a public
health nurse is generally conceded to
be the greatest benefit derived, there
are many other advantages which will
come to us through having county
public health association.
AS soon as we are organized the
state association will turn over to us
$345 for our use in public health work.
But if we do not organize before June
30 we forfeit this money-it will be
distributed among the counties which
already have county associations.
Let us therefore not let difference
or anything else prevent our organiz-
ing. When you see the notice of the
meeting make it your personal bust
ness to attend and take as many with
you as possible to help form a Mile

der this administration in the assum-
ing Of power which it is charged con-
gress never gave them and never in
tended to give them.
The telephone rate controversy,
now before the supreme court, as is
well known, arises because number
of states are seeking to enjoin tele-
phone companies from putting into
effect higher rates for toll and long
distance service. These higher rates
have been imposed under the regime
of Postmaster General Burleson as
head Of the governments administra-
tion Of telephones. Mr.. Burleson, who
has long advocated government owner
ship and operation Of the telephones,
has accompanied government control
of them with higher rates for the
public to pay, just as the railroad ad-
ministration has increased freight and
passenger rates.
Through all the briefs, filed in the
supreme court, challenging the power
of Mr.. Burleson to increase rates on
telephone service, there runs the note
of strong protest against the federal
power being exercised in a way to
strike at the powers Of the states and
add to the burdens of the public.
It is significant, too, that such pro-
tests are arising without reference to
partisanship. It is charged that the
attempt is being made under the
regime of Mr.. Burleson to rob the
states of power to regulate their do
mestic affairs; that. congress never
granted the federal government power
to increase rates as it has; and that
responsible federal officials seem to be
forgetting this is government of law
and not of men.
To make the matter worse from the
standpoint Of the states, the increase
was ordered after the armistice was
signed and after the president himself
said peace had come. AS the briefs
make plain, there could be no excuse
of war necessity; for the war in fact
was over more than month before the
! increase of rates of which the states
are making complaint.

Covenant to be Amended.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Having organized control of both
houses of the 66th congress without a
hitch, the republicans in the senate,
through Senator H. c. Lodge, majori-
ty leader, have announced their de-
termination to amend the league of ma
tions covenant for the more effective
protection of the vital rights and in
terests of the United States. Senator
Lodge pronounced the covenant as re-
vlsed more dangerous to the peace of
the world and to American rights and
interests" than in it's original form.

Woman Suffrage Taken Up.

Washington, May 21.-The woman
suffrage question, before congress for
more than 40 years, was taken up in
the house today as the first real work
Of the extra session.
The resolution is the historic Susan
B. Anthony draft, proposing submis-
sion to the states of an equal fran
chise amendment to the constitution.
It was adopted by the last house 274
to 1876, Jan. 10, 1913, but twice failed
in the senate, first by two votes and
then by one.

To Retire From Legislative Life

Charles H. Warner of Aitkin an
pounces his retirement from legisla-
tive life in letter published in the
Aitkin Republican. The retirement
has just one string, to it. I. If his record
as house member is attacked, Mr..
Warner says, he will be forced into the
field as a candidate to defend it.
{ Mr.. Warner gives long account Of
his work in the last session, which in.
cludes authorship and leadership in the
fight for several important bills, such
as the Warner-Hompe primary cleo
tion bill, the state board of education
bill, and the street railway bill. He
ends his statement thus:
"Unquestionably I have made mis-
takes, probably many of them. To
have them pointed out might be ex-
ceedingly useful to my successor. I
speak of "my successor" advisedly, as
I have no present intention of again
seeking election to the house. have

time-perhaps too long. I have
served at a personal sacrifice to my
self and am perfectly willing that
some other man with more ability,
greater legislative initiative, higher
ideals, loftier motives, stronger devo-
tion to duty, in closer touch with the
people, who has his ear to the ground
and can fairly hear their heart throbs,
shall have the honor, the glory and
emoluments that go with the position.
The only way I could be induced to
again become a candidate would be for
the bolsheviks, the socialists and other
radicals to attack my record and force
me into the field to defend it. Under
those circumstances might again go
before the people,
Mr.. Warmers services in the house
has been continuous since the 1911
session, and he has always been
leader. He was strong candidate for
speaker Of the 1917 house, but was de-
feated, and was expected to run for
speaker last winter, but stayed out and
threw his support to w. I. Nolan to
prevent battle in which the non
partisan league would possibly cast a |
