The senate Backs Up the President.

The Senate's support Of the Admin
istration In the industrial crisis is as
prompt, as frank, as unqualified and
as free from considerations Of parti-
san advantage as was the support 1t
gave while the foreign war was on.
The concurrent resolution assuring the
Executive that Congress 10 behind
him In his employment OF such con-
stitutional and lawful means as may
be necessary to meet the present emer-
gency, to vindicate the power and
majesty of the Government in en-
forcing obedience to and respect for
the Constitution and the laws, and In
protecting every citizen. in the exer-
else Of lawful rights, passed the Sen
ate with only a single dissenting vote.
That one vote seems to have been
withheld on account Of question Of
phraseology. Otherwise the declara-
tion was unanimous.
Well, this signal evidence Of the
senate's patriotic readiness to stand
non-partisan with the President when
ever he is right, whenever he Is act
ing within his constitutional powers,
whenever he Is serving the interests
of his country, ought to make some
people ashamed Of their vilification Of
this same Senate for opposing the
President when he Is not right, when
he is attempting to go beyond his
constitutional powers, when he Is
serving not the interests Of the coun-
try but a self-concelved project of

1t ought to bring reconsideration, II

Another Debate That Wasn't.

The passion for political debate is
not confined to noted Democrats. Mr..
LOUIS A. MENDELsoHN, the Republic
can candidate for Alderman in the
Twentieth district, on October 0 made
his oratorical spear. to ring on the
shield Of his Democratic opponent, Mr..
TIMOTHY J. SULLIVAN. Come forth
into the lists, he cried in effect, and
tilt the burning issues:
II win meet YOU at any time. at
any place and under any and all con-
ditions, expenses to be borne equally
and the tickets to be distributed
equally. II you prefer. we will make
this an open air meeting 30 that we
may address a greater number of
people"
Mr.. MENDELsoHN added that he
gave Mr.. SULLIVAN Ave days to an
swer. Failing to hear from him, he
would conclude that his opponent was
untitled In knowledge or experience
or that he believed the people were
not entitled to full Information about
the nominees. Mr.. SULLIVAN replied
but alas! It was not to accept:
DEAR SIR: I am in receipt of
your most insulting letter of the 9th
instant BY it's tone you do not even
deserve a reply.
ION second consideration. however.
1 decided to inform you that YOU are
not considered factor in this cleo
ton.

be the means of you obtaining that
which you seek, namely. cheap ad-,
vertising.
May thank you for the Ave days
grace you so generously granted me
to answer your letter?
Very truly yours.
TIMOTHY J. SULLIVAN"
SO Mr.. MENDELsoHN, like Governor
SMITH, was left to talk alone. LITTLE

The days of the whalers are not
past; the methods only are changed.
The Seattle fleet of whaling schooners
returned to port a few days ago after
the most successful cruise in Its his
tory and with the wonderful record
of 4l9 whales to it's credit, 100 more
than the catch of last season. The
chronicler Of the voyage says that the
feet reached port following months
of battling with the leviathsns Of the
deep" and relates this experience;
1.-THE Kodiak, a vessel of ninety
tons, had a thrilling encounter with
an ocean hercules, a monster blue
mammal measuring eighty-seven feet
in length, that was harpooned by
Captain u. M. Petersen of the
Aleutians at a distance Aof $50 feet.
The furious monster In the throes
of the death struggle churned the
waves to foam and endangered the
ship by sweeps of It's mighty tall"
The rewards and perils of the
whaler may remain the same but he
has a new language. As the old Nan
tucket whaling captain would say
THAT'S no gam for a seadog."

THAT 4UNEARNED" INCREMENT

There are men in Stevens county
today who homesteaded their farms
who could today sell out for anywhere
from $50 to $500 an acre. Let US
take an illustration and say that the
homesteader could today sell his 160
acre homestead for $4,000. This land
cost him nothing lin money! but he
had added buildings, fences, bitches,
tile. etc, which we will say are worth
$4,000, leaving $4,000 as the value
Of the bare land. This $4,000 IS
what the economists call sunearned
increment" and the socialists say it
belongs to the state not to the indi-
vidual. We do not agree with the So
cialists, but believe that that $4,000
is the proper reward which society
willingly accords to the man who
through long years has served the
community well By faithfully using
his brain and Drawn ii performing
his share Of the work Of the world.

REAL QUESTION UNTOUCHED

We have seen our Chief Magistrate
We have welcomed him in every ap-
propriate way We have listened with
open minds to his words. We have
felt the thrill of his appeal for a
wholesouled Americanism. We have
gloried in his picture of an unselfish
America leading the company of ma
tions out of the ways of war and into
the ways of peace.
Our President has gone on to other
cities. We can now sit ourselves down
in calm consideration of all that we
have heard not forgetting the things
we have not heard, the things the
President did not explain, the things
he hurried past in the headlong stream
of his eloquence.
In both his Minneapolis and St.
Paul speeches the President argued
only one question: Shall the Treaty
be accepted or rejected? Shall we
enter the League of Nations, or shall
we stay out?
But Mr.. Wilson knows, none bet
ter, that this is not the question at
all. He did not discuss the real ques-
ton that is pending in the Senate,
the real question that today confronts
the American people. That question
is this:
Shall the Treaty be accepted pre-
cisely as written, or shall it be &C
cepted with such reservations as will
safeguard American interests,
A candid statesman, frank Presi-
dent, would have met the precise IS
sue, would have discussed it openly.
The declared purpose Of the Presi-
dents tour is to awaken popular SEN
timent to such a pitch that the Sen
ate will be forced to ratify the Treaty
without change. But this shifting of
the true issue, this appeal to a people
already convinced that the League of
Nations should have a fair trial, this
evasion of the points the people are
truly in doubt about-why does the
President indulge in pettifoggery OF
that sort
The very fact that Mr.. Wilson
thinks he can fool the public into
scourging the Senate for its insist
ence on protecting American inter
ests, reveals in what low esteem he
holds the American people.
Of course we want the Covenant.
OF course we want the Treaty rati-
fed. Why waste breath arguing those
almost axiomatic propositions? What
we wanted to know of the President
was this: Before approving the Cove
nant, before ratifying the Treaty, are
there not certain things that should
be said by our Government, are there
not certain reservations that should
be made
Of these matters the President said
not q word while in our midst. He
was up in the clouds, not down on
the earth. It was fine to have him
in Minnesota, but we wish he had
shown more confidence in the intelli-
gence, the judgment, the discrimmi-
nation of the people of Minnesota.

Franklin Boys
Victims of Shoot
Jasper Thompson and Alfred /. ThOmp-
son Shot in the Back on Road
Home from New ulm.


Two Franklin young men were tie
victims of reckless shooting by some
parties who constituted themselves a
vigilance committee and held them up
on the road south of Gibbon last FRI
day night. The boys were returning
about half past eleven o'clock from
trip to New Ulm when on the road
between Gibbon and st. George, they
ran up to a car standing across the
road. AS they approached the car
two men stepped out and ordered them
to stop. Thinking that the men were
robbers Jasper Thompson who was
driving swung to one side of the road
and accelerated his speed. As they
passed the two men in the road fired
two shotgun charges after them, the
first charge striking the car in the
left rear side. The shots punctured
the body but was fortunately low
enough so that the driver escaped.
This charge was fired at a distance
of about fifteen feet. The second
charge was. fired higher and took Al
fred full over the shoulders and head.
Thirty-tWo shots entered his flesh.
Two shots of this charge also struck
Jasper. They escaped the shooters
and. drove on to Gibbon where they
reported the shooting, and then came
on to Franklin
The surmise is that the gunner
were lying for chicken thieves and
took the Franklin boys to be such.
The territory around Gibbon has been
infested with petty thieves and vigi-
lance committees are said to have
been organized The men who shot
up the Franklin lads, however, are
liable to pay well for the excitement,
since promisqous shooting on pub
lie highway becomes serious offense
when no other evidence than that a
car is on the road at night is at hand
to show that the drivers are offend
ers against the law.
The Franklin lads were simply on
| the road coming home from a neigh
boring city and that they were being
shot upon as chicken thieves never
entered their minds otherwise they
would have stopped and taken their
examination.
The case is now being placed in the
hands of attorneys Franklin Trib-
