PIONEERS.
TUBERCULOSIS SUFFERS TO
RECEIVE TREATMENT AT
COUNTY,S EXPENSE.

A memorial tablet in honor of H.
Volk, surveyor, will be erected in the
Brown County Court house by the
Junior Pioneers of New Ulm. Mr..
Volk made the original survey Of the
townsite of New Ul1n in 1855.
: The motive of this action by the
Junior Pioneers was explained at special
meeting Of the County Commissioners,

hauser, president Of the organization.
Mr.. Steinhauser asked permission Of
the Board to place the tablet in the
Court House. This request was grant
ed by the Commissioners and Com
missioners J. P. Graft and Henry j.
Meyer were appointed as a committee
to represent the county, and to receive

Receive County Aid.
Two cases Of tuberculosis came before
the County Board at the same meeting.
In regard to the case of Emil Rolof
a resolution was passed saying that he
IS afflicted with tuberculosis, that he
resided In Minnesota during the year
1918, that he is unable to pay the charges
for his maintenance and care at the
State Sanatoriun and is without near
relatives legally liable therefor and able
to pay for his maintenance in said insti-
tuition. It was therefore, resolved by
the Board that the man be sent to the
State Sanatorium and that the charges
for his care and maintenance be paid
by this county.
Another case was that of Hans Norsby,
of the village Of Hanska. Commis-
sioner John M. Johnson informed the
Board that Mr.. Norsby who isafflicted
with tuberculosis has returned home
from Thomas hospital where he re-
ceived treatment for some time. The
recommendation of Mr.. johnson that
the man be sent to the Riverside Sana-
forum at Granite Falls, for further
treatment was granted by the Commits
sioners the charges to be paid by the
county.

WANTS TO DEBATE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
CONGRESSMAN E. LUNDEEN
CHALLENGES MR.. BooCK,
OF FARIBAULT.
WAS ATTACKED BY LATTER AT
HOME COMING FETE AT
GIBBON.

The citizens of Gibbon had been
greatly disappointed. They invited John
Book, Of Faribault, former representa-
tive Of sibley County, to preside at the
Home Coming celebration at Gibbon
in honor Of the returned soldiers and
marines This was done in order to
show Mr.. Book that the citizens of
Gibbon had no bad feelings against
him. But Mr.. Book showed in his
address to the soldiers that he did not
understand the spirit of the people Of
Gibbon and they were disappointed in
a similar degree as the citizens of New
Ulm were by the talk Julius Schmahl
held here at the time of the. Home
Coming celebration.
Attacks NJ Uln
In speaking to the soldiers Mr.. Book
attacked New Ulm's patriotism and also
branded those citizens of Gibbon who did
not share his ultra-patriotic views in
every respect as un-American. Further
he was not satisfied with the way ex-
Congressman Ernest Lundeen is attack
ing the League ofNations. But in doing
so he did not express the sentiments Of
the returned soldiers of Gibbon. Of
~ veterans present only expressed
themselves in harmony with Mr.. Books
views.
The attacks Of Mr.. Boock on Mr..
Lundeen have been answered with a
challenge by the latter. Mr. Lundeen
challenges Mr.. Book to debate the
merits and emerits of the League at
Gibbon and the members Of the American
; Club at Gibbon have notified Mr.. Book
who now lives at Faribault. In his
letter to the citizens of Gibbon Mr..
Lundeen says in case Mr.. Book is
willing to let Great Britain have six
votes in the League Of Nationsr the
American one he should follow his hearts
desire and go to great Britain He calls
Books attitude as I'M American and
pro-foreign and draws the conclusion
that he does not belong in this country.

LOSES MENTAL BALANCE.

Sheriff VIM. J. Julius has promised
a reward Of $1,000 for information Of
the whereabouts of William M. jenkins,
Of Springfield This young man, who
is % years of age, left home on Tuesday,
September 23rd and, in the opinion Of
the Sheriff, is on his way to some Iowa
point. He is mentally deranged and
imagines that he is a Jesse James or
bad man. 1t is said that he had lost
his normal state of mind when he re-
turned from his service in the army.
jenkins was last seen the day after
his departure from home, at Mountain
Lake. He was riding pony Of grey or
steel grey color, a veritable Don Quixote
on his famous Rosinante. He wore
a blue serge coat, khaki trousers, Army
shirt and cowboy style hat. On his
way to Mountain Lake he passed
through Comfrey where he was seen
Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. JOS. Land, Of Sleepy Eye was in
New Jim last week for the purpose 81
securing medical attention.

this much-needed legislation had it not
been for the veto Of Governor Burnquist.
Primary Saved.

. : I'd . Is ~ i
We also take pride in having been
instrumental in defeating the attempt
on the part of the politicians to tam
per with the election laws. At the
very hour the senate was passing the
tonnage tax bill the house was voting
overwhelming to defeat the assault
on the primary election laws. The op-
position and the press of the state
generally attribute both of these re-
suits to the work of the Nonpartisan
league.
But neither the passage of the ton
mage tax nor the saving Of the primary
will solve the high cost of living, the
problem now engrossing the public
attention. Something more fundament-
al has to be done to remedy the economic
ills that now aff1ict society. Up to
the present the campaign against the
high cost Of living has had no other
effect except to reduce the price paid
to the farmers for their products. In

extend the school tax on all real and
personal property assessed for the cur

is ordered under the 1915 law for the
teachers insurance and retirement fund

their own teachers pension and insu-
rance fund.

EAST AROUSED BY
BIG STEEL |. STRIKE (. /
INDUSTRIAL AUTocRAcY IS
CHALLENGED BY WORKERS
IN STRUGGLE.
LABOR'S PARTICIPATION IN
POLITICS WILL GROW,
is PREDICTION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.All observ-
ers in the East consider the steel strike
an event Of first magnitude. The whole
world Of eastern industry holds its
breath over the possible outcome. In a
special sense it is a struggle between
the old order and the new.
The great steel trust broke up the
unions of American workers over a
generation ago. Native labor was grad
ually replaced by workers lured from the
farms and towns of southern Europe
With this raw material the trust has
been able to exercise an autocracy over
the livelihood of its employees comparable
to nothing found in mere political FORMS
At the same time the trust fastens its
tentacles on the federal government and
the government Of every state where
it operates from Pennsylvania to Min
nesota.
Rapidly increasing costs Of living
have forced these ordinarily docile en-
ployes to challenge this old order, as the
farmers of Minnesota have challenged
it with tonnage tax on iron ore They
have tried to organize, and now they
strike first for the right to organize
and bargain collectively and beyond that
for better conditions.
The organization has followed ira
q r 4
ditional federation of labor methods.
Consequently observers see in it a test
of these methods and the springing up
of different types of labor organizations
in case Of failure. Labor participation
in politics will grow; so also will the one

Private Warfare Allowed.
Wilson declares he has decided not to
act, feeling that he has done everything
possible to prevent the break. The
fact that the United States Constitution,
however, is being violated in Pennsyl-
vania by refusal to allow workmen the
right of assemblage and by brutal as
saults OF gunner on unarmed workers,
would indicate that the administration
is not so neutral as supposed. It is
not enough to put the responsibility
on state authorities. If workingmen
were rioting it would not take the federal
government long to see that the law was
upheld, as in the case Of the Chicago
riots in 1892.
If, on the other hand, the workers
had voted for men of their own kind
instead of old-party politicians, their
ballots would not now be coming back
to them in the form Of clubs, bullets
and suspension Of law. It almost passes
understanding that even old-party office
holders can allow private warfare to be
waged by the great corporations

BONUS DUE AROUND CHRIST
MAS.
Dischar ged Soldiers and Sailors Will
Receive Their Payments In About
Three Months. 4.

The soldier bonus bill passed bys the
Minnesota legislature at its special
session provides an appropriation of
S20,000,000 for the payment Of the
bonuses. Each soldier is to receive
SIS per month for every month he was
in the service. Women in the military
service of the country will receive the
same amount. The minimum payment
under the bill will be $50, it being held
that, even though a man saw but one
month Of service, his business affairs
necessarily were disrupted to some
degree. Provision is made in the bill
that in cases where the state has paid
tuition for soldiers, as provided in the
bill passed last winter, such payments
