old moss covered assertion that
should Mr.. Carlson be elected ne
would "close up the picture shows on
Sunday"
That studiously and Industrious by
cireneated bugboo has absolutely no
foundation. To ascertain Its authen-
ticity an interview with Mr.. Carlson
was sought.
Absolutely no such thing. he
vehelnently replied Never Thought
of any such thing. Fact Is the state
law governs that matter and l have
no desire to close any picture shows
Such reports are deliberate lies and
are made solely to defeat me at the
election. It's an old trick. and I
don't believe any sensible person
would believe any such stuff.
"A fine list of candidates are out

the only thing I stand for and I ue-

Washington, Feb. 15.---Victor
Murdoch, member of the federal
trade commission, told the house IN

feared the five big packers had ac-
quired SO much power that even the
United States government might not
be strong enough to combat 1t.

he could rescind the license of one

BIG AUTOMOTIVE DISPLAY
OPENS ST. PAUL TODAY

St. Paul. Feb. 15.-The biggest
automotive and industrial exhibition
in the history of the northwest
opened here today.
Hundreds of exhibits covered the
mammoth floor space of the Big Mid
way Overland building, which a few
weeks ago housed the Air Service
Mechanics school of the u. S. army.
The school has been completely dis
mantled and the big building filled
with all sorts of automotive machin-
cry and industrial exhibits.
Hundreds of passenger cars, trac-
tors and other gasoline propelled ma
chimes were seen in dainty booths or
at work in greasy shops. Tractors
puffed and pulled and silent" mo-
tors whizzed to attract buyers or
prospective purchasers More than
10000 feet Of floor space is occupied.

on the lavish scale of former times.
Real estate values have not been per-
manently affected.
The elimination of vice has been
aided by prohibition. Detroit
abolished her tenderloin before pro-
hibition came, but the dry edict guar
anteed that abolition.
The theatre business has been bet
ter than ever.
The best indication of the class
which prohibition has its greatest
effect among is given by the state
ment of the manager of a taxicab
company. He says. that his business
was cut so per cent.
Detroit can not trace the harm
prohibition may have done, but it
can sense the good effects and the
greatest Of these will not arrive until
the present generation of children

an organization that has lasted many
years and to which great masses of
the voters feel an affinity.
The progressive party started in
1912 under Theodore Roosevelt. had a
better chance Of becoming a majority
organization than any third party
movement started since the republican
party was born some sixty-five years
ago. It had one of the most popular
and gifted leaders in American his
tory. Yet within a single presidential
term it went to pieces, and its. con-
stituency lined IN with the organiza.
tons from which they originally came,
Some persons dream of a time when
all the good people will be lined up
in one party, To make common cause
against the knavhs and rogues. That
day will never come. The good peo-
Pile are vastly in the majority, but
they honestly differ as to fundamental
policies of government. Both parties
contain good men and both always
will.
Every good citizen should align him
self with the party whose policy seems
to him the wisest and soundest. But
he need not feel that his party has
any monopoly of the virtue or the
good feeling.

THE sCRAPPING SOCIALISTS.

AS usual. the socialist party conven-
ton was held under Marquis of
Queensbury rules. The national
emergency gathering of the socialists
at Chicago promptly proceeded to
split into two conventions, described by
a correspondent as "a super-emer-
gency one and just a plain. ordinary
everyday emergency one AS a re-
suit 1.-THE left wing met downstairs
and the right wing upstairs" And a
rival gathering of communists In
"Smolny institute" constituted a third
socialist convention. The wonder is
that by this time in the proceedings
there Were so few conventions. For
there are as many kinds of socialists
as there are pickles, ranging from the
conservative philosophers who are
willing to wait a hundred years to
bring about the social millennium to
the advocates of the demonstration
of force" whose scheme is to uplift
humanity through the use of bombs.
These are the Bolshevists and I. w. w.
twins in spirit.
Regarded at first with amused
tolerance as enthusiasts. impractical
Missionaries with touch of fanaticism,
socialists in this country have now
fallen into decided disrepute owing to
their attitude during the war. Their
