Goods Stolen Recently From the
Sleepy Eye Establishment
Are Located

Sleepy bye. September 4-The
merchandise which was stolen from
the Standard Store a couple Of weeks
ago, has been recovered, the goods
being found in barn west OF Sleepy
certain parties have been discovered
and already one party believed TO be
guilty has been taken in tow by the
authorizes. 1t Is believed that the
other parties connected with the
theft will be arrested before many
hours. Besides the goods stolen from
the Standard were Ave cartons OF
cigarettes, but as yet the authorities
have not discovered where they were
taken from.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
band of thieves that have been oper-
ating in Sleepy Eye the past few
that they viii be cleaned up. AT
least a dozen robberies have been
committed and up to today no clue
has been found that would incrdm
mate anyone.
On July 4 a young fellow who was
a stranger here was arrested on cir
cumstantial evidence, 1t being thought
he was party to the theft of goods
from the Blue Front store. but he was
released from custody couple OF
weeks ago after Mr.. Peterson and
the local authorities had become
practically convinced OF his limo
cence. Local parties furnished bonds
for him and he made the assertion
that he would do all In his power to
assist In the apprehension Of the
guilties parties and thus show that
he was innocent of the charge placed
against him.

be the honest answer of every hDer--

of all sorts of American citizens that
this government has been instituted
for the purpose of giving him bene-

"You cannot gain the loyalty OF

equal justice and equal force on high

iustment of taxation after govern
ment expenditures have been reduced
to a minimum, in order to place the
burdens upon those most able to bear
them.
The Democratic party, he said,
should also demand that the states
take back the discharge of the duties
which were reserved to them in the
compact made with the general gov
ernment,a nd the party, he thought,
should promise that it would not sub
nit any federal constitutional amend
ments which further relieves the
states of their duty to enforce the
police power inherent in the states
and to protect the lives and fortunes
of their citizens"
"The almost Obliterated lines di-
viding the three branches of govern
ment should be again clearly drawn,
he added. Government by discretion
should cease. Boards which make
rules, try violations thereof and en-
force punishment should go. They
are not democratic. They are benev-
olent despotisms.'
While omitting any direct refer
ence to soldier bonus legislation, the
vice-president said he would say to
the former service men "sound of
body and mind" that they can obtain
almost anything they. want from con-
gress.
