Preparing Propaganda Service?

Preparing Propaganda Service?
81 The postmaster general, through
the office of the fourth assistant, has
sent out letter to about $4,000 post
masters asking them to prepare and
send to the department the names Of
all adult patrons receiving mail on
rural free delivery routes. The pur-
pose of the request, it is believed, is
to provide a mailing list of voters to
whom the administration can forward
league of nations propaganda and
democratic campaign literature. This
belief is strengthened by the fact that
the names of adults only are asked
for. The postoffice department will
probably explain that the list IS being
compiled for statistical purposes in
order to ascertain just how many peo-
pie are receiving mail on rural routes,
but since the order does not include
anyone but adults it is the natural
conclusion that the work will be more
efficiently done than has been custom
ary under the Burleson administration,
and that every patron Of the post
Office will be carefully served with
denaocratic campaign literature.

shape of principal and interest. The
principal contention is that the act is
faulty in that it authorizes what are
practically bonds in excess of the con-
stitutional limit. This contention,
however, has been passed upon by the
supreme court and held unfounded.
Another contention is that the act
fails to pledge the credit Of the state
in the matter of the authorized certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness which the con-
testants claim are in effect bonds. 1t
can be said with truth that Minnesota
will make good in this matter if it has
to lift the constitutional band on bond
issues to the extent of taking the mat
ter direct to the voters, but this does
not help matters now. Pay day for
the soldier boys has received set
back and the only thing to do is to
grin and bear it."

Mary Enoid Sanford, daughter of
Judge and Mrs. w. v. Sanford, passed
away at the Northwestern hospital
on Sunday evening at 6 o'clock. She
was operated upon on Friday, but it
was found that her condition was
such that there was very little chance
for her recovery.
She was born in Princeton on June
16, 1911, and is survived by her per-

The Righteousness Of Strikes.

In 1917 there were five thousand
reported strikes in this country. No
doubt twice as many small strikes and
near-strikes did not get into the rec
ord. In the state of New York alone
from October 1, 1915, to June 80, 1916,
which period marked our entrance into
the war, there were 328 strikes In
volving quarter of million workers
and the loss Of ten million days Of
work.
The total loss in production through
strikes reaches an appalling figure. To
this must be added the effects Of inn
paired and delayed work through
smouldering i'll will.
Taking the country as whole it is
estimated that for the past ten or
fifteen years not more than forty per
cent Of the possible labor efficiency
has been secured, while sixty per cent
Of the manufa curing capacity has
been wasted This is an enormous
waste, greater than the wastage 81

The Lyceum Course.

The cost of the season ticket for the
lyccum course one entertainment of
which has passed, been reduced
to $1.25 plus the war tax.
AS there will be five more enter
tainments and the single admission to
each is fifty cents the advantage in
buying a season ticket is obvious.
These tickets are on sale at Herdliska's
jewelry store.
The next entertainment in the course
will be on Monday, November II, at
which time Bergdorfer, the celebrated
impersonator, will be with us. J, It is

Looting the Farmers.

Here's further proof of the looting
of the farmers: The nonpartisan
weekly claims to have four hundred
stockholders, and says it is certain to
have four thousand. just imagine the
dividends that this paper can pay four
hundred or four thousand stockhol-
ders. It is, however, consistent in fol-
lowing the Townley rule: make the
farmers pay, and if you can bleed their
pocketbooks you, will hold their
votes" The old-time politicians have
much to learn from Brother Townley-

The Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe doctrine is a simple and
plain statement that the people of the
United States oppose the creation Of
European dominion on American soil;
that they oppose the transfer Of the
political sovereignty Of American soil
to European powers; and that any at
tempt to do, these things viii be re-
g6rded as dangerous to our peace
and safety. What the remedy should
be for such mterposi:ion by European
powers the doctrine does not pretend
to state. But this much is certain;
that when the people of the United
States consider anything Dangerous
to their peace and safety" they will
do as other nations do, and, if neces-
sary, defend their peace and safety
with force of arms.
The doctrine does not contemplate
forcible Intervention by the United
States in any legitimate contest, but
it will not permit any such contest to
result in the increase of European
power or influence. on this continent
nor in the overthrow of an existing
government. nor in the ablishment
Of protectorate over them, nor in
the exercise of any direct control over
their policy or institutions. Further
than this the doctrine does not go

The Soldiers Bonus.

Vance Chapman, in his interesting
letter, has this to say of the soldiers
bonus situation:
Minnesota world war veterans and
service men who are banking on some
easy Christmas money in the shape of
their share of the soldiers bonus fund
authorized at late session of the
Minnesota legislature are in all proba-
bility doomed to disappointment.
Months may intervene before the
money is available. Though both the
rbonus board and the local prints have
been inclined to soft pedal The fact,
the truth is that eastern bond buyers
who were expected to take up the big
end Of the $18,OOO,OOO or 100000, 900
worth of bonds authorized by the
bonus act have declined. They have
been advised by their legal department
that the act is faulty and letters to
this effect are now in possession Of
the board. Approaching this fact
themselves, though possibly they will
not admit such publicly, certain mem.
bers Of the board have encouraged q

oils as plaintiff, which will be passed

A Quick and Timely Rebuke.

If there was ever time when this
old world needed prohibition it is now.
If ever there was time when this ma
ton of many tongues, this babel where
a confusion of tongues has brought a
confusion of motives, of thinking and
of action, needed prohibition, it is right
now. Surely there is enough Of men
tai unbalance and responsibility
without reinforcing it by drunkenness.
At best we are near enough drunk
as it is, so that the soberest minds
find themselves mystified. Yet it is
now that President Wilson would have
freed the liquor traffic to add to the
nations troubles. He would have the
period from now until national prohi-
bition takes effect, the three months
that promises to be the most critical
in our social and industrial life, made
vastly more critical, more uncertain,
fuller of menace, by making them an
open season for tdisposing of all the
Millions of gallons of liquor held by
compu1sion from the market.
Wherever there was rioting or an
outbreak of 1awlessness, the first act
Of those responsible for law and order
has always been to close the saloons.
Yet now when the country is facing
almost a national riot, when rioting IL
almost as common as eating, or at
least as working, the president would
open the saloons that have feverish
desire to dispose of the remaining
liquor stocks.
The president, however, is consis-
tent in this. He. made congress pass
the anti liquor law over his veto, the
lower house promptly set aside this
veto by a vote Of three to one, and the
senate followed with an equally en-
phatic vote, all in "a hours. Mr.. Viii.
son does not favor national prohibi-
tion. He still believes in state rights
in handling the liquor question, just
as he once believed in states rights as
applied to women's suffrage. The eo-
pie, however, do not agree with him.
He seems, also, to have the mistaken
belief that labor is overwhelmingly
against prohibition. AS to alien la
Dor, he is probably right. But Ger
tainly now is the time when Americans
realize that bombs might as we'll be
distributed among these aliens as
whiskey. Certainly this country is
having trouble enough with them
without throwing this form of dyna-
mite on the flames.
The trouble with the president is
that he has single-track mind. It
has, to run in each instance on the
one track no matter where it leads
and no matter what the consequences.
He disregards all signals and would
rather wreck the train than switch it.
Fortunately in this instance congress
controlled the switch.- Duluth News

LEGION CONVENTION
Gathering of Legionnaires From All
Parts Of the United States in
Minneapolis Nov. II.
Parade in Honor of Foch-Banquet of
125th Field Artillery in St.
Paul on Nov. 18th.

On AfmlStlce day. November IL,
the first national convention Of the
American legion will be held in the
Minneapolis auditorium and delegations
will be present from all parts of the
United States. An appropriate re-
ception had been planned for Marshal
Foch, who was expected to be guest
!. of the legion upon that day, but, un-
fortunately, important duties in Eu-
rope prevent his attendance How
ever he will be represented by General
'Collardet, military attache at the
French embassy in Washington, who
will present decorations to number
of Minnesota war heroes, and the pro-
gram, as formulated, will be carried
out to the letter.
All patriotic societies in the state
are invited to join in making a sue
cess of this demonstration in honor of
The great allied commander.
In the big parade the boys of 81
will ride in automobiles, the Spanish
gionnaires will hike-the latter lined
up according to counties. To vary the
monotony there will be in the process
sion bands, floats of historical inter-
est and battle flags. An effort is be-
ing made to also secure the United
States government exhibit used in the
.victory parade in New York last May,
which includes engines of war used in
the recent conflict-the creeping, wad-
ding tanks which put the fear of God
into the enemy, the latest models Of
flying devils, the famous French sew
enty-fives which Gopher gunners
helped make famous, and various other
artillery and military exhibits.
Reduced railroad rates of one and
one-third fares for the round trip will
be available to all delegates, alter
mates, officers and other members Of
the American legion who attend the
convention, together with the in,medi-
ate members of their families upon
the identification certificate plan. This
reduction has been authorized by the

this regiment who returned from
France and are able 70 attend. Many
Mile Laos county boys were members

charge and reservations should be
made with Captain Morton at the Sc
