GOV. BURNQUIST WANTS
MENNONITE COLONISTS
Belated Appeal il Sent to, Shame
fully Prosecuted People by
State Executive.

The following communication writ
ten to the Pope County Tribune OF
Glenwood, Dr. Henrik Shipstead's
home town, by John W. Trepp will no
doubt prove interesting reading for
Review subscribers:
"The daily papers last week carried
the news that Governor Burnquist
was negotiating with a colony OF
Mennonites to come and settle in
Roseau county. The Mennonites were
opposed to war for religious reasons
and were prosecuted by mobs in
South Dakota until they moved to
Canada.
During the war their cattle were
sold at auction and the money invested
in Liberty Bonds, which they refused
to accept, but turned them oyer to the
Red Cross. -
"While they were being prosecuted
in South Dakota we did not hear OF
our governor offering them refuge or
asking them to come to Roseau Co.
The governor did not stop,~the mob
violence in Minnesota, but events went
so far as to prohibit free speech and
free assemblage. The treatment some
of our citizens received was certainly
a disgrace. nm
"Mr. Burnquist, Of course, did none
of this work himself, but he did nothing
to apprehend those who were guilty,
or to see that the constitution was up
held.
"We want these Mennonites as well
as all law7abiding people to settle in
Minnesota, but it seems rather bit
late for the governor to ask them
now. Why didn't he offer them refuge
when they were being prosecuted?
."The reason is that Loyalty was
the issue then, and Judge McGee has
told Congress the state was seething
with disloyalty.
He said The Swedes and Norwe-.
gians were all disloyal,' so we couldn't

Wilson Will Tell Why He Spurned
Law is the blazing headline over an
article in recent issue of Mime
apolis' leading reactionary daily anent
Woodrow's proposed action relative
to the threatening impeachment pro-
ceedings for his failure to enforce the
Jones Shipping Act, passed by the last
Congress. The President will send a
special message to the federal law
makers, pointing out to them how
they can accomplish Gin Thoroughly
legal manner" the object sought to
accomplish through the law cited
above. It seems that the President
objects to the wording of the Jones
Act. Were all trangressors OF our
laws given an opportunity to plead
justification of their actions by citing
faulty wording of the particular
statutes which they have transgressed,
we venture the prediction that many
criminal and wrongdoer would be
able to extricate himself out OF an ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable situation.
However, it remains for the chief
executive of our nation to flippantly
disregard constituted law and pre-
cedent and then coolly justify his
position on some pretext or other.

A Gradual A wdkening.


The American people are gradually,
but surely, awakening to the dangers
that beset the free and untrammeleo
independence of the United States
from Great Britain. Witness the
breaking up of a celebration at Car
negie Hall, New York City, recently
in honor of the tercentenary OF the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, when
pro- British hers among the committee
on arrangements attempted to slip
one over" on the audience by placing
the British anthem God Save the
King" on the program. Be it said to
the honor and credit Of a large num-
ber of true-blue Americans present,
they refused to sing the king song
but instead shouted "Hurrah for
American and "Down with England!'
Several boys and girls in a chorus OF
the musical program left the stage,
when asked to sing the British anthem,
and two men wearing United States
army uniforms and carrying the Star
Spangled Banner followed suit. One
of the banners carried by the plckets
who started the "disorder" (as the
Minneapolis Tribune calls the break
ing up of the celebration) bore the
inscription: Don't speak, Mr..
Colby-Remenber the English fiat
tered Benedict Arnold" This banner
was meant for Secretary OF State
Colby, who was scheduled to speak
at the tercentenary, but he had not
arrived when the disturbance be-
gan (again quoting the Trlbune).
Wonder if the local pro-Britlshers
will place the New York occurrence
in the same category as the removal
of British flags from the decorations
along Minnesota street during the
welcome home for the returned
Doughboys in this city last year?

1t is to laugh! A Hoboken astroloe

Harding's great following among tn

fessor. According to this star-gazer,
Harding's nomination at 6:15 p. m,

The method usurped by the govern
ment against profteering, while futile
are far from a joke to busine IS men.
To be arrested or thre atened with
prosecution for conducting business in
the way that economic conditions re-
quire business to be carried on is no
Laughing matter to those who are thus
made scrapegoats for the evildoings Of
privilege. This applies especially to
the retailer whose apparently large
profits form the basis for charges OF
profteering by ignorant or sensational
officials. In many retail lines profits
of from fifty to one hundred per cent
have always been the rule. In these
cases that fact is now heralded as
new discovery and represented as a
recently established practice account
ing for the high cost Of living. OF
course when the price of commodities
has doubled or trebled, as compared
with former years, before reaching the
retailer the final addition of hundred
per cent profit makes tremendous
difference. But the remedy for this
state of affairs lies in removal Hof the
cause or the causes of price-boosting
before reaching the retailer, and in re-
moval of causes that make the expense
of conducting retail business SO high
as to necessitate a high gross profit.
When, instead of following this course,
the government resorts to prose-
cution regardless of economic condit-
tions, it may succeed in soaring some
businessmen out of business, but will
benefit no one.
However, the businessmen suffering
from this policy are largely to blame
for it. Most of them have let them-

A New York scientist, probably
seeking a bit Of cheap notoriety, has
set forth the claim that Terrence
MacSwiney, the hungerstriking lord
mayor OF Ireland is being fed, at in
tervals, while under the influence OF
opiates. We can only hope that this
learned mans assertion will not lead
to diplomatic exigencies between the
United States and Great Britain,
and trust that our Irish friends will
not condemn the entire population
of the United States for the views OF
one of our scientists.

flask of "spirits" from a Cleveland

crying farm sale recently. The
auctioneer had accidentally discovered
the "white mule" in an ice cream
freezer and had transferred it to his
hip pocket. While in the midst OF
his contortions to dispose of the Ice
cream freezer, someone reached over

Politicians Us. Heroes.

Otis Smith, formerly a private in
the 151st infantry, died in an Indian
apolis hospital last spring as the result
of five wounds from machlnegun
bullets received while fighting near
SCISSORS. Four months later his wife
died in needy circumstances.
: While his widow was alive she was
entitled to about $1,000 in back pay
msnts of compensation and insurance.
In the four months that interviewed be-
tween Smiths three checks >totaling
s71.67. The government eventually
will pay out $14,400 on the case.
A coroner's autopsy revealed that
Smith had been totally and perma-
nently disabled since July, 1918, al
though physicians who examined him
on his discharge at Camp Sheridan,
ILL.,, last December, pronounced his
case one of 10 per cent disability.
This was later raised to Is per cent.
He received total Of ,$26 in COM
pensation, allowed at a rate of $13
a month, on which to support him
self, his wife and his stepson. He
was unable to work.
1T was not until the Legion acci-
dentally learned Of his case and sent
a representative to visit Smith on
his deathbed that he learned he was
entitled to free medical attention.
Inside Of an hour he had been placed
in hospital, but it was then too late.
1t is tragedies like the Smith case
which the governments new centrali-
zation plan for disabled men under
going treatment will aim to circum-
vent.--The American Legion Weeklg.

Hoover Acknowledges Wrong

While in Minneapolis the other day,
Herbert Hoover, ex-dictator of the
nations breadbasket, again confessed
that the farmers were gripped during
the war in behalf of the general crew
of profteers.
Had not the food administration
and the United States Grain corpora
tom, says Hoover, assumed control
of the wheat supply after the short
crop of 1917, wheat would probably
have gone to Sc bushel, flour probab-
ly to $25 barrel, and there would have
been bread riots that would have
seriously interfered with our partici=
patton in the war; .-.
The farmers thus were denied a
natural market, their chance at "a
killing" which is supposed to make
up for the disadvantages of the profit
system for the ordinary man, while the
big interests increased their usual
killings 10 to 100 fold.
1t is interesting to not know how
Hoover and the press used the wheat
price-fxing to fool labor as we'll as the
farmers. Instead of showing the work.
ingman how bread was minor living
cost, how one person could not consume
more than a barrel of flour year, and
that giving the farmer reasonable
price would not have increased the
workers cost of living more than 81 a
year, or that of the workers family
more than $40, they played it up as a
major item. Workmen were asked
not to demand more wages because the
government was going to keep down
the cost of living-by keeping wheat
down. And while the public was
worrying about the "high cost" Of
bread the profteers got away with
everything else-house rent, clothes,
fuel and foods in general. There was
no other effective fixed price except
that on the farmers wheat. The
millers got away with about double the
so-called allowed profits. It was only
a gentlemen's agreement, not law.
Another interesting point which
more people can see now than then is
the way Hoover and the government
acted directly contrary to the interests
Of the country as well as the farmers
in the wheat matter. We should have
stimulated wheat production and made
our savings in the marketing; instead
we coddled the market men and let the
actual producers survive or perish,
with price below cost of production.

U. S. MARINES GO NM
FOR NEW DECORATIONS

Washington, D. c. July Sine The
terms. decoration. and Marine N /. Corps
became almost synonymous in the
course of the world war. Alone
of all the military services the sea
soldiers still cling to yellow chevrons,
red trouser stripes and their blues.
But down in Quantico, Va, the
Marines serving under the command
of Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler
have turned their backs on such friv-
olities as war decorations and dress
frivolities.
Interior decorationg has been ad-
ded to four-score courses now offer
ed to the Marines by. the Marine
Corps Institute, the practical school
designed to prepare the sea soldiers
for position in civil life when their
two year "hitch" expires.
The course of interior decoration
designing, to give it it's correct title,
is now being taught to them either
in the schoolrooms on Quantico's
pine clad hillside or by correspond
ence that reaches them at sea or in
the tropic garrisonS.
