Hudson Hudsonite If league Of
Nations means the ditching of the
Monroe Doctrine, then we are most
emphatically opposed to it. These
United States have reached the envia-
bic position which they occupy in the
respect and esteem of the world bv
minding their own business without
going into any entangling alliances
with anyone. The sovereignty Of our
country must never be jeopardized.
A number of the most prominent Re.
publican senators are ready to lea. g
the party if it ratifes the league in
its present form, and President Will
sons pet scheme has not been put
over by long ways yet.

Fro nj the Tripp Ledger.

From the Trip2 Ledger.
Lightning struck the tractor shed
at the Frank PlaceK farm Sunday ev-
ening during the storm and destroyed
it, with his tractor and some oil The
oil exploded and endangered the other
buildings but they did not catch. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.
According to articles in the dailies
an embargo has been placed on cattle
from certain districts of South Dako-
ia. The districts are the Armour
and Platte lines. Anthrax has be-
come prevalent in these districts and
there have been some heavy losses.
Reports have been current this sum
mer concerning anthrax in Douglas
and Aurora counties, but it has n 1t
been understood that the disease was
taking a very heavy toll.
Mr.. F. Smith, has been secured by
the base ball management to do the
twirling for the Tripp, team the re-
mainder of the season. MIR. Smith
took try-out Sunday afternoon on
the local diamond, and produced the

Moines. Ia, for try-out in the West
ern league, and was given a contract
for next season. He has moved to
Trip and will be Johnny on the epot
the remainder of the season.

There seems to be general UNDER
standing, judging by the tone of the
newspapers and speakers thruout the
country. that the league of nations
covenant will not be ratified except
with suitable reservations to safe
guard the sovereignty of our govern
ment. Occasionally an editor comes
out with a demand that it be swal-
lowed. horns. teeth and claws. A
faverite appeal with such writer's is
to claim that our boys went across to
fight, and die if need be. in order
that this league might be formed go
th1t such catastrophy might never
occur again From a sentimental
standpoint that's peach of an argu-
ment. but it doesn't get far when
tested with cold facts. The question:
naires that the boys in the selective
draft were asked to sign didn't say
word about q league of nations. and
they weren't even asked what they
thought about it. AS for the boys
who enlisted early in the game. why,
the incubator hadn't even been set for
Matching league when they offered
their service. Since the boys return
ed, in our talk with them we haven't
found one who favors any alliance
which gives foreign countries right
to interfere with our domestic affairs,
or gives foreign countries any right
to commander the services of our
boys to help settle every race war
that may arise in the polyglot nations
of the old world There are some
features of the league that are COM
mendable. A world council to discuss
differences and recommend changes
that mag foster good fellowship is
good. But to endow such "a council
with autocratic powers would be dam
gerous to our interests. Thanks to
the true Americanism of our United
States Senate there is little likelihood
of these dangerous features being rat
flied.

The railroad unions have great
olution for the railroad problem.

The railroad unions have a great
solution for the railroad problem.
They propose that the government buy
the railroads. and lease then, to oper-
ating companies The management
would be determined by the govern
ment with one-third vote; the orer-
ators wi.n-one third and the employees
with one-third. The operators and
tie employees would therefore control
The management by a two-thirds vote.
The profits after paving operating ex-
penses and interest on the bonds,
would be divided equally between the
government, the operators and the
employees. BY this arrangement the
operators and. the employees, who
would hold a controlling interest in
the management. would have no in
terest in improving the systems, their
only interest being to increase the
profits during their temporary control.
There would be no competition to hold
down the rates. and in order to i'm
crease their own revenues the public
would be charged all that the traffic
would bear. If there was loss the
government could make it up with an
appropriation. We don't believe there
is a farmer in the country who would
turn the management of his farm over
to his hired men under $3.50 ar
rangement for division of PROFITS and
we don't believe our officials, who
represent the interest Of the general
public, will give muc1 consideration
to this scheme for exploiting our rail-
road systems ia the interest of the
employees.

At last the high cost of living is
forcing itself upon the attention of
the President and Congress. There is
a limit to the patience of the consum-
ing public, and that limit has about
been reached. Something mnat be
done soon or there will be a general
uprising among our people which will
bring general industrial crash. Our
condition ls just what must be expect
ed from the management OF our in
dustrial affairs. The foreign demands
for our products have been so great
that there has been no legitimate sur
plus. There is a surplus, but it is in
the hands of SPECTATORS who are hold
ing it for greater profit and it has no
effect under the laws Of supply and
demand. Not only have we supplied
the natural demand from abroad, but
we have loaned money to foreign
countrien with which to purchase our
products. onlysa short TING ago con-

all competition which usually regu-

The cost Of production is no longer
taken into consideration in fixing pric-

basis we must pay fictitious prices.
Congress can give temporary relief by
forcing onto the market the boarded
