100 per cent Americanism' was the
theme of a two-day convention of the
Minnesota Editorial association in Min
neapolis this week. The Minneapolis
Tribune was host to the editors from the
rural districts at a banquet and their
representatives took occasion to inform
the editors that there is an Immediate
need for a campaign along these lines.
1.-THE editors returned home to take up
the fight for Americanism' according to
one of the other metropolitan dailies.
Curious as it may seem, a large por-
ton Of those in attendance were not par

parted to them along this line, nor did
many of them indicate in their rather
discreet day, that they had in mind any
particular change Of program in mind
upon their arrival home. -.

DID NOT TAKE US By SURPRISE

The writer attended the annual meet
ing Of the Minnesota Editorial Asso-
citation held at the West Hotel in Mime
apolis on Friday and Saturday of last
week. Plans sfor the, meeting had evil
IDENTIFY been made by a bunch of-those
keep the party loyal" fellows who
used that slogan to keep their places on
the states pay roll in the election of
two years ago. In fact the meeting was
seemingly staged for no other purpose,
than making political capital for the
Ct. O.2P., and I&beHeye that most of the
Democratic members of the associa-
ton, as we'll as some of those who have
affiliated with the other crowd in the
past, were thoroughly disguised with
the frameup. An effort will no doubt
be made to prevent future meetings
being run in the interest of politicians
and I certainly hope it will be success
full. Heretofore the Twin City papers
have practically ignoged< the. associa
ztion. This year they had an ak to
grind and not only became interested in
association affairs but took charge of
the meeting and run it in the interest
Of the political gang they are backing
in the campaign just ahead: The boys
were SO taken by surprise that they
turned the stone for them with no more
than audible@murmur of dissent We
predict a. rebellion next time they at
tempt to put over anything SO IN
American, (because of being so unfair.)

= - BOOT HIM OUT!
The Minnesota Editorial Association
at it's annual meeting in Minneapolis
last week, adopted a set of resolutions
which ring true to Amerieanism. One
of the resolutions pledges support of the
American Legion, and another calls upon
the regents Of the Minnesota State Uni
versitys to investigate the charge that
socialist doctrine is being taught in
some of the departments of that insti-z
tuition. IF it be true, as charged, that
certain professor Of the State Univer-
zsity is seeking to ineulcate in the minds
of students the dangerous doctrine of
socialism and bolsheVism it is time that
the public awaken to the danger of this
practice and demand his removal. r.

i The fact that the metropolitan press
is unduly excited about something at
this time. reminds one Of time-worn
story about an able-bodied young man
who was driving to town, with horse
and buggy. accompanied by an elderly
aunt. An automobile approached from
the distance and the aunt became very
much excited. She stood up in the seat
and waved frantically to the driver Of
the car to stop whensit was yet a long
distance away. A gentleman IN an adj
Joining field came up and offered to lead
the horse by. the automobile. The young
man told him to lead his aunt by, and
said he would manage the horse with
