Buy Old schmueker Brewery
Building.

M. D. Johnson & CO., of st. Peter.
owners Of the local overall factory in
North German Park, are endeavorinp
to secure larger quarters SO as to be in a
position to turn out larger quantity
of their goods. Two members of the
company, the president, Mr.. johnson,
and heavy stockholder, o. Kempe,
were in the city last Thursday to talk
matters over with members of the city
council and Of the New Ulm Commercial
Club. Their first proposition was to
have the city buy the old Schmucker
brewery and put it in condition to be
occupied as a factory. After they were
told. that that was out. of the question
they asked for a five year lease on the
present building, with the permission to
build an addition for storing purposes.
Although no decision was made re-
garding this latter proposition it is known
that the council members are against it
for the reason that the building in ques-
ton was condemned some time ago.
The price asked for the Schmucker
brewery by Mr.. Schneider is $4,000, it
is said. The st. Peter concern is Millin'
to pay this amount if the necesss
changes are included in it. 1t may. ia
several weeks before the matter will
finally decided on.
Otto Trautniller from st. Paul visited

Plays Politics.
The mayor was followed by Secretary
of State julius A. Schmahl Mr.. Sch
mahl's speech was a disappo to
most Of his hearers because he apparently
used the occasion as means to further
his political ends. He had many nice
words for the Germans and their char
acters, pointing with pride to the fact
that he was one Of them, but the former
German emperor did not find much favor
with Mr. Schmahl, mainly for the rea-
son that he was partly Of English descent.
A TRADE against Socialism made up
the last part of his speech. The secre-
tary said in part:
Standing here in the midst Of this
beautiful landscape, flooded with the
refulgent rays Of summers golden sun
shine; surrounded on every hand by
evidences Of peace, prosperity and con-
tentment, it is hard to realize that with
in the memory Of men present, that they
we're here when this fair spot was the
center Of a veritable holocaust Of death;
when blazing farmsteads surrounded
it with a ring Of fame by night and The
morning sun disclosed countless savages
bent on slaughter, rapine and plunder
surrounding the village. =
The speaker then narrated the defense
Of Fort Ridgely and Of New Ulm. Ht
asserted that the selection of New Uln
for the celebration in honor Of the re
turned soldiers was most fitting consid
ering the fact that 81 years ago th.
residents Of this place fought agains1
the Indians to keep them from taking

Of Independence and the World War

GEORGE cREEL HOLDS TACTICS
SHOWED DISREGARD OF
FAIR DEAL
OLD PARTY 41N1AcF1INES'' ARE
ACCUSED OF DELIBERATE
PERSECUTION.


case Of the state against Townley
and Gilbert, two leaders Of the Nom
partisan league, charged with conspiracy
to teach doctrines Of disloyalty, says
George Creel, chairman Of the govern
ment committee on Public Information,
in recent article in Leslie's Weekly.
The League, it may be explained, is a
farmers organization sufficiently power
full politically to carry North Dakota
at successive elections and to threaten
the dominance Of the two old parties
in Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska and
Idaho.
The indictments against Townley
and Gilbert were returned under cir
camstances that in themselves arous-
ed a great deal Of bitter feeling and
unrest. In the first place, the men
were not arrested under the federal
espionage law, specifically and dras-
tically framed I'd reach just, such of
lenses, nor was any federal official in
the state found willing to proceed against
Gilbert and Townley on the evidence
collected and presented The arrests
were made under an inadequate state
law that had to be stretched to cover
the alleged crime, and the trial was
delayed until a year had passed.
Members, Of the Nonpartisan league
charged openly that the whole pro-
ceeding was part Of the campaign Of
persecution organized and carried on
by the Republican machine, s aided
at every point by certain leaders of
the Democratic machine. z This feel
ing was. widespread and well known,
and it rose and grew at a time Of in
dustrial unrest both in Minnesota and
the nation. 35

Of the case go about the business Of

The only Colored women's motor

inc the feeling Of a man In the des-

prise and joy of Colored soldiers,
lying wounded in New York hospi-
tails, at sight of women OF their own
race to comfort and cheer them as
they had SO often seen their white
brothers visited by other members
of the League.
While the work OF the Hayward

far reaching as that of other depart

and results accomplished it is excell-
ed by none.

asks him to join the party, his ex-
clamation of pleasure sounds as
though he had forgotten all about

There is no reason why Colored
boy should feel lonely or neglected
in New. York. And judging by the
number who have been entertained
by the motor corps, there exists only
satisfaction and happy memories fol

we thought New Workers were cold,

anything like this, and they're hav-
