Question.
"What to do with the tanks" is
problem that after July will be civic
as we'll as military. -Bemidji Sentinel.

OF Course.
Practically every article that any
one buys has increased in price by the
higher freight rates.-Fergus Falls
Journal.

Incomplete Without It.
No Roosevelt memorial will be COM
plete until in every schoolhouse in the
land the Roosevelt creed of honor,
loyalty and manliness is told to those
who in few years must carry the
banners of good citizenship.-Jers
City journal.

The Way of the World.
Nearly every war has been conduct
ed in the name of peace. Nearly ev-
cry tyranny has been raised in the
name of liberty. Nearly every fraud
pretends to have superhuman motives.

Yes; IT'S True.
The Minnesota house of representa-
tives has endorsed the proposed league
of nations. But after it's adoption of
several verses of ungrammatical dog
gerel as Estate song," the Minnesota
legislature is liable to do most any,
thing.-Brainerd Tribune.

Tired of Opportunists.
This country is getting tired of op-
partunists who are ready to change
from one side Of question to the 9TH
er according to the way the breeze of
public sentiment seems to be blowing.
Men with both conviction and courage
are in demand.-Brown County Jour-
nal.

It Does Not.
Suppose you Judge the present ad-
ministration by it's handling of the
railroads during the busiest two years
in the history of the American rail-
way traffic. Does deficiency of seven
hundred and fifty million in that
branch alone look good to the honest
to-goodness citizen ?-Blue Earth Post.

Sick of BurlesOn Rule
Congressman Stevenson will intro
duce bill as soon as the special ses-
sion convenes asking for the return of
the telegraph and telephone lines to
their owners. Such action will no
doubt meet with ready support as the
people in every part OF the nation are
tired and sick of the Burleson rule.

Why Do They Do 1t.
The cartoonists seem to enjoy draw
ing pictures of returned soldiers with
leg or an arm off being kicked out by
some employer to whom the manned
veteran has applied for job. These
things do not happen, of course; in
900 cases out of thousand soldiers
get their jobs back if they want them,
or better jobs. Yet it is supposed to
indicate genius for a cartoonist to pic
ture returning soldier as an unfortu-
nate mendicant for whom nobody has
al Republican.

More Lincoln's Wanted.
A year or so ago the democratic
boosters took delight in likening
Woodrow Wilson to Abraham Lincoln.
They overlooked, however, one i'm
portant tinction-Lincoln did not
assume to exercise the powers of both
the executive and the legislative
branches of the government. Having
had some experience in congress him
self, Lincoln recognized the probabili-
ty that members Of congress might
have some opinions that were worth
considering. We shall get along bet
ter if we have more presidents of the
Lincoln type and fewer of the Wilson
type.-Preston Times.

Perfect-With so Exceptions!
Hamilton Holt, editor of The indie
pendent, one of the most active propa-
gandists of the British Wilson league
OF nations covenant, says the covenant
without single amendment is the
greatest document since the Declara-
ton of independence was promulgat-
ed" Nevertheless, he says, 81 can
point out fifty improvements that to
my mind will serve to clarity it's text"
Could Mr.. Holt point out fifty improve
ments that would clarity the text of
the Declaration of Independence If
the covenant were as GREAT q door,
