A Remarkable Campaigner.


With less than a month in which to
do battle and against combination of
warning forces without a parallel in
Minnesota political history, j. A. O.
Preus, the republican gubernatoria]
winner, cannot but be regarded in the
light of political conner and eventu-
ally a national one at that. Single
handed, it might be said, for in truth
Jake is not without his political enc
mics and they were at his throat in
the late contest, he bested not only
four other candidates whom no
amount of persuasion could shake
from the political plum tree, but put
to route the gubernatorial hope of a
band of political pirates backed by an
organization in point of strength
second to none in any state in the
union. A campaign committee of one
hundred scraped together in hurry
gave material aid, but it was Jake
Preus who turned the trick. His
speaking tour, mostly through the
southern part Of the state, was con-
tinuous ovation, and how well his per-
sonality and organization abilities
caught the multitudes is found in an
invariable majority in the towns and
districts visited by him.

Democratic National Convention.

DeHlOCIdIAC NdClOudl convention.
The democratic national convention
opened in San Francisco on Monday,
the delegates assembling at noon for
their first session. Preliminaries were
perfected clearing the way for the
real work Of the session. Homer B.
Cummings, national chairman, deliv-
cred the keynote speech and raked the
republicans-as was expected-fore
and aft. "No blacker crime against
civilization has ever 2soiled the pages
of our history than the defeat of the
treaty in the senate" he said, and re-
ferred to the league of nations as the
Monroe doctrine Of the world" He
said that the campaign hinges on the
league of nations and treaty and con-
tinued in a similar vein in speech
which consumed eight columns of
newspaper space.
On Tuesday the Wilsonites were in
complete control Of the convention
when the second session opened. With

Nothing would suit the republicans
better than to see McAdoo nominated,
for he would be equally as easy to de-
feat as our esteemed brother, William
j. Bryan, should he, by fuke, re-
ceive the nomination. Everyone with
one iota of common sense knows that
the aim of "Crown Prince" McAdoo's
daddy-in-law, Emperor Wilson, is to
land him in the white house so that
the Wilsonian regime of extravaganza,
wastefulness and nonenforccment of
the sedition laws may be perpetuated.
The fact that the Wilson administra-
ton has proved itself to be the most
incapable and the most abominable
this country has ever had is sufficient
reason for the general demand which
exists that it be cast out. And it will
be.

being transferred from that ship to
ours here in Trebizond harbor. We
feel safe in this well-armed cruiser
except for mines. The bolsheviki have
mines all through the black sea. We
have lines and drag for them. They
say that Constantinople is in stage
of siege, that nobody goes out or in.
The English are in control and will let
us American women in, but the con-
gestion is great. What our fate there
will be we do not know. We have
been paid off, getting $3.50 for passage
home. 1t is not much, so think that
most of us will sail straight for home.
If it is possible to go to Cairo without
costing too much we may do that.
I should like to see something Of
Europe on the way back and may.
In some way the news of our going
had reached the ears of our Armenian
people and the grief they showed was
pitiful. Groups of little ones going
across the campus and spying US
would come silently up, put their
heads against me and cry softly.

thing like it. l wanted to stay-as
did some of the others-but we were
told firmly that we had to go. It
seemed so terrible to leave them to
the fate we know awaits them-star-
walton! No supplies are going in. The
railroads are in the hands of the
bolsheviki. The Turks are crossing
the borders. It is HORRIBLE! I had
learned to care for some of them so
much. Some are such noble souls-I1l
never forget their eyes when they said
goodbye.
How want to see all my friends at
home! It will not be long now.

Proper Way to Display Old Glory.

In connection with the display of
our national flag, the following cir
cular of instructions has been sent to
American legion posts by the war de-
partment. AS many people are ig-
norant as to the proper use of the
flag we reproduce the circular:
It is the practice in the army to
display the flag at half mast on Me-
mortal day from sunrise until noon,
and at full mast from noon until sun
set, and also on other days specially
designated for that purpose by proper
authority, the flag always being first
holsted to the top of the staff before
being lowered to the half-staff posi-
ton.
1t has been suggested that as far
as possible the hanging of the flag
should be restricted to suspending it
from flag pole in the regular way;
that for purposes Of decoration only
the national colors should be arranged
in the form of bunting and not used
in the form of the flag; that if it is
nevertheless the desire to use the flag
for decorative purposes it should al
ways be hung fiat whether on the in
side or outside of buildings, with the
union to the north or east. so that
there will be general uniformity in
the position of the union of each flag
displayed; that the flag should rarely
be displayed in a horizontal position
or laid flat; that under no circum-
stances should it be hung where it can
easily be contaminated or soiled. or
be draped over chairs or benches to
be used for seating purposes, and that
no object or emblem of any kind
should be placed above or upon it.
1t is becoming the practice among
civilians to display the national flag
on all patriotic occasions, especially
on LincolnSSs birthday, Washington's
birthday, Memorial day, Flag day and
independence day.
Where several flags are hung on
pole the national flag should always
be at the top and in any parade it
should always have the place Of honor.
1t should never be hung with the union
down except as a signal of distress at
sea.
When the national flag passes civil
ians or soldiers in civilian dress or
is passed by them it is customary for
them, if covered, to remove their hats,
holding the headdress opposite the
left shoulder with the RICH hand. The
regulation flag is about five feet, six
inches by four feet four inches.
The custom of rising and remaining
standing and uncovered while the
Star Spangled Banner is being played
is growing yearly.
Old worn-out flags should not be
used for banners or for any secondary
purpose. They should be destroyed
as whole privately, preferably by
burning.

George E. Never.

George E. Meyer, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. F. Meyer of Princeton town
ship, and a hero of the world war,
died on Saturday morning, June 26,
following an illness Of several months
duration.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. A. O. Strauch at Zion Lutheran
church on Monday and the interment
was in the Lutheran cemetery, many
friends following the remains to their
last resting place. Deceased was a
member of Zion church.
The pallbearers were John Kuether,
Walter Jopp, Ed Henschel, Ed
Hamann, Geo. Ziebarth and Adolf
Remus-all ex-service men in uni
form.
George E. Meyer was born on. Sep
2, 1895, in Princeton township, and
was consequently about rs years of
age. When America called for volun-
teers in the great world war he an
swered the appeal without hesitation
by enlisting in the navy on July q,
1917. On December ~ Of the same
year he sailed for the war zone, the
station of the feet being at Queens
town, Ireland. He served II months
on the submarine chaser Balch in the
North sea, saw much hard service and
had many narrow escapes. He also
served on the United States warships
Newport, Delaware, Wisconsin and
Eagle. He received an honorable dis
charge at Detroit, Mich, on July g.,
1919, making the length Of his service
two years. Soon after he returned
home his health began to fail and on
November "a of last year he was COM
PEELED to take to his bed, where he re-
NAMED continuously until called by
death. Death was due to tuberculosis
of the intestines, which followed in
fluenza, contracted in the service. He
is survived by his father, mother, five
brothers and two sisters.
George Meyer possessed most af-
fable disposition, was very industri-
Gus young man, true christian and
a hundred per cent American hero
who sacrificed his life in his country's
cause.

6,2I7 IN INDIANA
Total Probably 1000 Larger,

There are 6,217 known cases of in
sanity in the state of Indiana, according
to a report Of the state BOARDS
charities.
This number includes, however, only
those cases being treated in public in
situations and it is estimated there are
about 1000 additional cases confined in
homes and private institutions.
There are we state hospitals for the
insane in which 1921 cases are now
cared for. In addition there are 465
cases of insanity in county poor farms,
forty mine in county jails, $50 on fur
Tough from state institutions and 152 In
custody of county clerks.
The state hospitals are located in In
dianapolis, Richmond, Logansport, North
Madison and Evansville. These hospitals
have a total capacity of 1894. The cost
of maintaining them during the past
year amounted to $1s375, 622.94, or 1854 per
patient.
1t is set forth in the report that the SD
patients now in the custody of county
institutions should be cared for by the
state as it is clearly the duty of the state
