Afghanistan Opened Up
To Settlement by Hindu.

NEW YORK, Oct. 12--The amir of
history, according to DR.. N. s. Hard
iker of the India Information Bureau
here, has invited Hindus to settle in
his country, to accomplish which he
has announced for the unification Of
the people of Aisa.
1. Non-interference in the obser-
vance of Hindus religious beliefs; 2.
Freedom of Hindus to travel and set
tie in any part of the country; 3.
Government protection of Hindu
homes; 4. Hindu representation in
the Afghan Assembly; 5. Unrestrict-
ed travel permitted Hindu women.
There are more than 230,000,0 900
Hindus and 70.000000 Moslems in
India and hijrat, or exodus of many
of the latter to Afghanistan, according
to Dr. Hardiker, already is under
way.
"The. PROPOSED of the Amir are aim
ed he said, "at dispelling the notion
that Afghanistan is partial to Islam
ISM. The proclamation clearly shows
hat all freedom and protection will
be extended to Hindu subjects. and
that no interference will be exercis'
ed in the religious obseryences of the
Hindus. however, much these differ
from the belief of the Mohammedans
and Afghans. The Amir undoubtedly
is endeavoring to promote better
telling between Afghanistan and

Colonel Duane, editor Of the st.
Peter Herald, who was candidate for
governor on the democratic ticket, has
seen sufficient of the workings Of the
primary law to impel him to denounce
it in no uncertain terms. He says in
his paper:
Returns from the recent primary
election show that thousands of voters
did not take the trouble to go to the
polls at all. This apathy on the part
of the voters, most Of whom were re-
publicans, made it possible for Town
ley to come within a few thousand
votes of nominating his man, Ship
stead, which he certainly would have
done but for the fact that between
Is 900 and 10000 democrats went into
the republican primary and voted for
Preus. Fear Of socialism influenced
the democratic voters to take the &C.
ton they did, but the result shows
that the present primary law is Of a
farcical nature. In future elections
the names Of all candidates for state
office should go on the ballot without
party designation, or the party con-
vention system should be restored.
The primary law has not accomplished
the purpose for which it was designed,
and should be repealed.

Minnesota women voters, according
to an opinion from the attorney gen.
erals department, will not, as in some
other states, be required to tell their
age either when they register or cast
their ballot. All that is necessary is
for the woman voter to qualify that
she is of legal voting age, which is 81
years, How much older she may be is
her business and not that of election
officials. Hence the embarrassment
which would result from woman be-
ing questioned as to her age has been
removed.

The Winnebago post of the Ameri-

condemning the pardoning of Kate
Richards O'Hare, the notorious an
archist, and denounces the action Of
President Wilson as "an insult to
American motherhood and American
loyalty" This resolution, which has
been sent to the Minnesota delegation
in congress, or one similarly wordcd,
should be passed by every post of the
legion in the United States. Ye gods!

worse stripe? "Red" Kate is not the
only one. Doughboys, attention!

While the democratic platform holds
the party and the candidate to the
Wilson league of nations, the republi-
can platform denounces the league
and the republican nominee declares
against it. 1t is true that an amend
ment was forced into the democratic
platform favoring reservations to
''make clearer the obligations of the
United States" but this does not alter
the fact that the party has committed
itself wholly to the covenant, although
it opens way for evasion during the
campaign.

Thirteen alien reds were sent from

mean that they will be deported. 1t
is just as likely, if past methods of the

that they will be turned loose as have
scores of others of like ilk. With the

We must give Editor Schei of the
Lamberton Star credit for waging war
in his town for Americanism despite
the fact that his advertising columns
have been skeletonized by the with
drawal of virtually all local patronage.
Two other papers in that town are
opposing Brother Schei and a general
boycott has been started against him
for no other apparent reason than that
he is a loyal American citizen who
antagonized nest Of seditionists
during the war and is continuing the
same good work today. It is not at
all difficult to draw conclusions as to
the sort of business men who reside in
a town when they withdraw their
patronage because man is true
blue American, which Editor Schei
has proved himself to be by refusing
to be vanquished by anarchists, I. W.
w. and Townley socialists. He has a
hard fight on his hands, all right, and
in this battle against the enemies of
our country he should have the sup
port of every loyal newspaper in the
state. We love fighter of the Schei
class and predict that he will ultimate
ly emerge from the battlefield a vic

and publishing the picture of one
Countess Diane De Borchgrave as the

This sort of stuff is enough to make
the average American sick. Who
cares who is the most beautiful woman
in Belgium? In America we can go
down into the slums Of any large city
and find many a girl who, when "dolled
up" will discount this most beautiful
woman of Belgium" a thousand per
cent. But the press associations will
ssplay up" the plainest looking woman
in the world as ''beauty" if she pays

Harvey's Weekly: We had already
been told by English authorities that
the league Of nations could not do
what it was intended to do because no
European member of it had troops to
spare for the enforcement of it's de-

have furnished troops, had declined
to come in. Now General JAMS SHUTS,
