years ago the Minnehaha county
early settlers association took up the
matter of a memorial for the late
c. X Howard out of recognition for
the great work he did in pioneer
days in aiding and encouraging set
tiers. Committees were appointed
for the various townships of the
county and quite a sum of money
was raised However, number OF
the committees failed to make the
canvass of theirc districts and the
matter dragged along until few
weeks ago when former Senator r
F. Pettigrew, becoming acquainted
with the situation, took the matter
in charge and went ahead to make
arrangements for the erection of q
handsome monument over the grave
of Mr.. Howard in Woodlawn ceme-
terry which is to cost $4,000. Mr.
Pettigrew now announces that the
sum of $4,100 has been subscribed
and that he hopes to have the re
mainder in a few days. The monu-
ment will be 32 feet in height and
will rest on base nine feet square
C. X. Howard was a merchant in
Sioux Falls SO years ago. During
the grasshopper and drought days
Mr.. Howard carried many of the
pioneers on his books for years, and
it was his words of encouragement
and his efforts in their behalf which
induced many of the early day set.

Dakota.

WORLD war VETERAN
VISITS MADISON
RAINBOW SOLDIER WHO SAW
MUCH ACTIVE SERVICE
IN THE WAR

j. A. Anderson, OF Spring Valley,
is guest of his brother-in-law, j.
Killolae. Mr.. Anderson is real vet
eran of the world war. having served
in all the major engagements in
which the American forces partici-
pated. He served with the 151st
artillery, known as the famous Rain
bow division. The length of his serv-
ice and his exceptional valor won for
him the personal recognition and
recommendation of his commanding
officer, Col. Geo. E. Leach. The
Rainbow division was plunged deep in
conflict at Champagne, Chateau
Thierry, vesle River, st. Mihiel, Yer
dun, Argonne Forest, Dead Mans
Hill, Meuse, Sedan and other points
where fiercest resistance was en-
countered. The marvel is that Mr..
Anderson escaped serious wounds or
even death.
His last service was with the army
of occupation. Mr.. Anderson gives
graphic descriptions of the frightful-
ness of war and the wonderful spirit
of the Americans in their headlong
rushes at the enemy hordes. He has
observed dead Germans lying four
and five deep on the field of battle
and also held the saddening sight of
detailed men wrapping our own dead
in blankets and placing them in open
pits by hundreds.
Mr.. Anderson carries with him q
personal letter from officers ranking
high in military service.

MORRISON SAYS
BAR FORE |GNER Rs
To END BOMBING
Secretary of Federation Of La
Dor Says That Country is
Now Reaping Results of Un-
restricted immigration.

Washington, June Secretary
Morrison of the American Federation
of Labor in a statement on the bomi
outrages today declared the country
was reaping the result of its immi-
grafton policy.
"The attempted destruction of life
and property should cause calm re-
Election, rather than hysteria, on the
part of every American" said he.
II can understand why the nihilist
of Russia used bombs, but this meth
cd can have no place in American
institutions. And when il is used II
is our patriotic duty to inquire why.
For years the trade union move
ment has urged the restriction of inn
migration, but the workers were OPP
posed by steamship companies, the
steel trust and other employers of
labor who stimulated immigration at
the rate of 100000 persons a year.
Many of these immigrants We're herd
ed in large cities or other industrial
eenters. They were encouraged to
use their own language and to per-
petuate traditions of their mother
country. At election time, in innu-
merable instances, they were voted
EN- bloc, and if they would organize q
trade union, or suspended work to
stop exploitation they We're enjoined,
dubbed and jailed This is an old
story in Wet Virginia, Colorado,
Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
What can Americanism mean to
these people? They do not even I'M
derstand our language. To them
Americanism means a petty boss and
low wages They know nothing of
our theory of government This
country is now reaping the result of
its immigration policy--or lack Of
policy-during all these years.
Bomb throwing is always a chal-
lenge to organized society. and
should be met in that spirit. But the
question must be traced back to its
root and treated accordingly. Ameri-
canism must be more than n shibbo-
leth. 1t must mean education, OPP
portunity and social justice for all.
We must vitalize our declarations
and our beliefs that injustice has no
place on American soil. In this soil.

q sequel to the May day bomb plot,
when Internal machines were mailed
TO score OF prominent men over the
country
The explosions last night were ae-
companied by the scattering of anar-
chistic literature written by persons
who were not llliterate. the ntera-
ture contained the stock doctrines of
radicals who have been preaching
class war.
The homes and persons of promi-
nent officials and business men in

archist, in his excitement in the dark
ness, studied his toe on a low coping
six feet from the front door where, it
was obvious, he intended TO place the
powerful internal machine. The cop
ing tripped him and when he fell the
conclusion apparently set off the
bomb.
The head of the dead anarchist was
found on the roof of a house more
than a block away from the scene of
the explosion.
The neighborhood in which the eX-
plosion occurred is one of the most
fashionable in Washington Two
doors away lives Senator swanson of
Virginia Directly opposite lives Rear
Admiral Theodore F. Jewell. The
home of Helmer b. Bryan, Norwegian
minister, adjoins that of Admiral Jew
ell and Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Franklin Roosevelt lives a short
distance away.
Residences in the entire block were
damaged. Windows were shattered
and the fronts of some of the houses
were niclled by pieces of flying con-
crete. Parts of the anarchist were
blown through some of the windows.
Several occupants of the nearby
houses, including the son of the Nor
wegian minister, were thrown from
their beds by the force of the explo-
sion.
At the capitol extra police We're on
duty and the rule against bringing
packages of any sort into the capitol
and the house and senate office build
ings was rigidly enforced The same
rule was being applied in other gov
eminent buildings.
Attorney General Palmer did not go
to his office today and his associates
refused to disclose whore he and Mrs.
Palmer, who left their home after the
explosion last night, had taken up
their new residence.
All available men of the bureau of
investigation have been assigned to-
the case.

come into general use.
That this development should have

In order to understand the meaning
Of the phrase collective bargaining, p"
which has adorned the literature of
the present conflict, II should be borne
in mind that every agreement with
any trade union is a case of collective
bargaining. But the Winnipeg strill-
ers mean a something much wider
than that. Here is the text of a reso-
luton passed by the general strike
committee:
That this committee goes on record
as being in favor of legislation making
it compulsory for employers to recog-
niZe the right of their employees to
collective bargaining through repre-
sentatives of their organizations as
expressed in craft unions. industrial
unions, trades councils and trade fed
erations."

resolution is the zone big union"

One Of the outward and visible signs
of the efficiency of the Winnipeg citi-
zens' organization was street blocks
full Of parked motor cars. The work
ing man pointed at this display with
scorn, contrasting it with the thou
sands of democratic bicycles which al
most blocked the approaches to his
own headquarters at the Labor
temple. TO him the motor cars were
the symbol Of wealth and privilege
which he had set out to fight.
II is doubtful if the Influence of

appreciated. Witness after witness

case, it has done q great deal to fan

in Winnipeg, but throughout the coun-
try.
