IN its relation to the late war.
William A. Anderson, Minneapolis
attorney, was put on the stand to testify
IN regard to a conversation with r. A.
Ieigen, last witness for the state, in
which he admitted that he had been
promised pay from Charles Patterson for
writing the anti League book. On OBJ.
lection from the state the court ruled
his testimony out, but permitted the
intro duction Of his statement in writing.
The state also was successful in putting
over another trick when it obtained a
ruling from the court barring from the
records the book said to have been
written by Teigen. The defense stated
that it would prove that Teigen had not
written the book, and on this grounds the
book was ruled out.
Judge Reverses Own Rulings.

affected the defense was the refusal to
permit witnesses for the defense to state
impressions received at various meetings
at which Mr.. Townley spoke, although
Wltne ses for the state were permitted
to do so in the early part Of the trial.

HA YE ANNUALMEET
GERMAN PARK is SCENE OF
UNUSUAL GATHERING,
ON SATURDAY
G. A. LUNDQUIsT, OF ST. PAUL
SPEAKS ON VALUE OF
ORGANIZATION

''The Farmer And the New Day" was
the topic chosen by G. A. Lundquist Of
st. Paul, for his talk to the graduates of
the Agricultural School of the University
of Minnesota, who held their annual
gathering at the German Park, last
Saturday afternoon. Graduates from
Brown county and the neighboring
counties Of Nicollet, Redwood, sibley,
Watonwan, Cottonwood and Renville.
were present at the meeting. Some of
them had received their diplomas as far
back as 1889, a year after the organiza-
ton Of the school by ast Of the State
Legislature.
Watchword Is: Organize. y
Mr.. Lundquist, in his eloquent address,
tried to impress his hearers with the idea
that without organization the farmer
will be left behind in the march of modern
civilization. Due to his singular posi-
ton in society and to the nature Of his
work, the farmer has been slow in organ
izing, the speaker said. This is shown
by the fact that in the political move
ments Of the present he is partly ignored
and partly consoled with halfway
measures. Nh. Lundquist referred to
the programs and platforms of the
different political parties in this and in
other countries, that usually have much
tossay about the rights and needs Of the
workingman but nothing or hardly any,
thing about the rights and needs of the
farmer. This is especially true of the
latest program of the British Labor
Party, he said.2 He compared this pro-
gram with the decalogue Of the old and
new testament saying that it ranks next
to this in it's bearing on thesocial welfare
of the masses.
Farmers Not Mentioned.
But not a word is contained in this
wonderful document Of the farmer, the
agricultural worker, despite the fact that
the English farm laborer is the most
down trodden Of all agriculturists in the
world, he continued. This state Of
affairs should be remedied as soon as
possible. A good start has been made
by the farmers Of our Northwest, Mr..
Lundquist said. In democracy like
ours, the people, farmers included, can
get all they want by organization and
cooperation, working through the regular
legal channels.
Courage Is Necessary.
The speaker also referred to the strong
opposition met by the farmer movement
in the Northwest, in this state as well
as in others. But, he said, people should
not pay any attention to what their
enemies say about the Sixteen Dollars
This statement carried some weight with
the hearers of Mr.. Lundquist, he being
a government official who has been
working for the government for the last
ten years. Many references were made.
to other courageous men in American
history. The United Stateswould not
be in existence today if Washington and
Adams and Franklin and Otis had
listened to the weak souls who cried
Treason when these men were ready
to sign the Declaration Of Independence.
Anyone who does not wake up and work
for the new movement among the farmer
element, deserves three kicks, we'll
placed, said the speaker.

FOOD PROFlTEERS
At WORK IN U. s.
SOCIAL REVOLUTION IN ITALY
CAUSED BY FOOD SHARKS
OF THAT COUNTRY
SERIOUS THOUGHT GIVEN TO
MENACE. IN AMERICA
AT CAPITAL

II 1heTe is great, alCnOugn carefully con-
scealed, apprehension in Washing ton over
the outbreak of social revolution in
Italy, for that is the Interpretation placed
here on the serious food riots in Florence,
Bologna, Ravenna and other cities Of
northern Italy, with consequent assump-
ton Of supreme power by chambers Of
labor.
The Importance of the situation to
this country was pointed out by an
officer Of the federal trade commission.
He emphasized the fact that food pro-
fiteering, hurting the farmers and the
Wag earners alike, is responsible for the
outbreak and observed that FOOD
PROFITEEKlNG2PROBABLY MORE
r. AGRANT THAN THAT IN ITALY,
is TODAY GOING FORWARD UN-
CONTROLLED IN THIS COUNTRY.
Menace Of Food Sharks.
Just how much the international
manipulations Of the American packers
are responsible for the present upheaval
in Italy is still a matter of speculation.
As yet there is no data available to show
their full grip on the food markets of
the world. In this country, however
1T IS certain that the grim monopoly of
the Big Five is busily tanning the
$embers Of unrest. Squeezing producer
and consumer, and fouting the govern
|ment in their sordid race for gain, the
packers, officials believe, are doing more
to bring the perils Of revolution to this
country than any other element.
Widespread recognition Of this con-
dition, and widespread fear Of food
riots and worse in this country as a
result, is abroad in Washington now.
There is actual apprehension Of what
might follow if the facts Of the food
monopoly were ever spread before the
American people in their true colors.
AS Senator La Toilette said the other day..
If some great playwright would dram
atize the evidence collected against the
packers it would cause revolution"
Progressives See Danger.
And Senator Kendrick Of Wyoming,
fcattleman BY profession, comments on
the admission Of the packer combination
that theirs IS the biggest commercial
enterprise in America, as follows:
The startling significance Of that fact
is realized when we consider that this
huge industry, dealing in the food supply
of the nation and rapidly extending its
interest. to trans Atlantic and South
American fields, is dominated by few
private citizens who are wholly free from
governmental supervision. = S
To check this situation before it brings
the inevitable result now seen IN Italy
the progressive and & liberal group
il congress, regardless Of party lines, are
now uniting to put through legislation
regulating the food nonopolists and re-
Istricting the packers to that one In
dustry. Bills for this end have been
introduced by Senators Kenyon and
Kendrick, and Representatives Ander-
son Of Minnesota and Lever 81 South
Carolina.

COUNCILLORS PLAN
BRIDGE BUILDING
EFF CTS OF FLOOD IN VALLEY
STIR UP SENTIMENT FOR
IMPROVEMENT
ENGINEER APPEARS BEFORE
COUNCILLORS IN REGARD
TO CITY PLANT

~
Sof great I'M portance We're discussed BY
the New Ulm City Council at their
meeting last week called esqcially for
consideration Of these subjects. The
disturbing conditions caused by the big
flood in the Minnesota valley and their
detrimental effect on the business of the
town as far as the. adjoining territory
across the river is. concerned, again
started the ball rolling for improvements
in the highway across the river to insure
a safe crossing at any time during the
year. The discussion finally led to the
decision to ask F. D. Minium, City
Engineer, to draw up plans for the con-
struction of highway over the river
elevated enough above the water level
that the water during a time Of food
cannot become Mndrance to traffic.
Members Of the local Commercial Club
had asked the council for some such step.
They argued that the expense for such a
road and bridge would be more than
offset by the steady flow Of business in
sured by this structure.
Place Not Fixed.
The place for the new highway across
the river which naturally is to lead over
one of the present roads was not de
terra ired. Two opinions we're lrevalent
III Tie meeting as to tbs fs.attyr. One
favored the constr.c ticn along the sheep
farm road and the other the one leading
directly across the low land from the
bridge. It was decided to leave the
settling Of this question with the street
committee and the engineer, who are to
select the route and have the plans drawn
accordingly.
The hope was expressed that this
matter may find an early solution ard
an annoying condition be done away
with for good.
Appears Before Council.
F. w. Rose, member of the Mime
apois firm Of Rose & Harris, consulting
engineers, was present at the meeting
Of the council, for the discussion Of CON
ditions at the municipal electric light and
water plant. The question Of making
changes at the plant and Of arranging
for enlarging its capacity has been
ventilated by the city fathers for some
time. At the last regular meeting Of the
council at the beginning Of the month
it was decided to engage consulting
engineer Of the Minneapolis firm named
above for the purpose Of having survey
made. Mr.. Rose has started on this
work which will take about a month,
according to present expectations. MI.
Rose stated that the cost Of this survey
will be at the rate Of $25 per day and
expenses. AT the end Of the period in
dicated, during which a thorough study
will be made Of the whole station, the
water, power, commercial lighting, heat
ing, etc, the consulting engineer will
make his recomme ndations to the coun-
lcilors regarding the proper course to he
pursued.
