If a family works in amity in its
aims and its purposes in life it sue
ceeds. If it disagrees, and is divided,
it degenerates into a number of sep
arate units, without cohesion, and
eventually falls.
This town is one big family, with
many members, or units.
A loyal spirit of fraternity viii weld
us together and enable us to work in
diligently, theoretically and cohesive
ly for our common good, with ultimate
success as our assured reward.
The absence of such a spirit will re-
duce US to the status of collection of
units, without organization, without
definite purpose, and each exhausting
his energy and his resources in mire
of suspicion and cross purposes.
The issue can not be evaded-it is
one or the other.

A REACTIONARY BANQUET


In officially accepting the invitation
Of the Minneapolis Tribune TO be its
guests at a dinner to be given at the
West Hotel at Minneapolis Friday eV-
ening, for the avowed purpose OF
boosting stand-pat and reactlOnary
policies and politicians as ''Amerl-
canism' and denouncing political pro-
gress as dangerous 'SOclallsm," the
officers of the Minnesota Editorial
Association definitely cut loose from
the former policy OF the Association
OF avoiding politics at it's meetings.
The first break was made four years
ago when the circulation in the hotel
lobby of petition to that brilliant
corporation lawyer, Frank Kellogg, to
become candidate for the U. S. Senate,
was heralded by the city press as be-
ing an action by the minnesota Edi-
torial Association, which it was not.
With the recent brOadside OF Rome e..
Brown, President and Manager of the
Minneapolis Tribune, sent to the edi-
tors of the state, in which he denOunc-
es such reforms as the direct primary,
recall of judges, direct legislation and
government ownership OF public until
tiles as pure socialism and as being
opposed to true Amerlcanism" and in
which he definitely urges the wiping
out of old party lines and the organi-
zation of standpat organization to
be camout1aged under the cloak of
patriotism, there can be NO doubt as
to the object of Friday nights ban
quet. 1t will be Belshazzar's feast
brought down to date. Meme, Meme,
Tekel, Upharsin!" During the thirty
years of his membership in the NJ E.
A., the writer knows that all bonafide

that no true American can follow and he
will not if he is once given the facts.
The evidence is that they are beginning
to to look q little closer into the records Of
friends Of the people" and a day of
reckoning will not be far away.-Dassel
Dispatch.
The readers~7of the Tribune have
had the chance to read all that Henke
has written, from the first dastardly
attack upon the Tribune editor down
to this last scurrilous emission of
dirty insinuations and are in position
to Judge of what an array of facts"
has been given.
II Henke is in possession Of any
facts which prove that the program
Of the Farmers Noppartisan League
Is such "that no true American can

~ Why not try and convince your
neighbors Of their mistake by showing

ton of morals In the mass of cult

welfare to the extent of financing
political campaigns is one of the most
encouraging signs of these ,trnIhlOus

WHERE BRYAN STANDS

Our neighbor state of Nebraska is
having constitutional convention.
On Jan. y, w. J. Bryan was invited
to address the convention, and he COW
cred the many subjects dealt with in
a state constitution in a mastery ad-
dress which marks him still as the
Great Commoner OF America It is
possible to get his opinion OIL any
question OF public policy in this speech
How he stands on issues which are
just now the targets OF reactionary
attack is shown in the following ex-
t1acts from this speech:
The Peoples Right to Rule.
The fundamental principle OF popu-
lar government is that the people have
right to have what they want in gov
ernnlent. Ii l can burn into your minds
and hearts no other thought today
would rather leave this thought than
any other, Viz, that the people have a
risht to have what they want; that the
people are the source Of power. There
is no other source to be trusted. Not
that the people will make no mistakes
but that THE PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT
TO MAKE THEIR OWN MISTAKES,
and that few people have a God-given
right TO make mistakes for the rest OF
the people. Mistakes will occur no
matter what form of government we
have. In a monarchy the king makes
mistakes for all the peole, and history
shows that the kings OF the world have
lived fully up to their opportunities in
this respect. In an aristocracy the few
MAKE mistakes for the rest of the
people, and sometimes they find it sc
prontable that they refuse to correct
! them, even when they are pointed out
Many of the wars OF the world have
| been WaSed for the purpose OF correct
| ms mistakes that the FEW found il
: profitable to make.
Let us consider some of the advant.
ages of this theory. In the first place
it never pays the people to make mis-.
! takes, and therefore they are not as
| likely to make them as those are who
| find it profitable.
| IN the second place, if the people
| make their own mistakes, they accept
| the results and bear the punishment
more patiently than they do if some
| body else makes the mistakes; that is
an element not to be overlooked in gov
ernment. ou did it; now submit te
the penalty until you can correct it,
is difficult argument to answer
IN the third place, because they suffer
When they make mistakes and are sorry
that they made them, they will correc
| them as soon as they find them out
| The first fundamental principle that

q shall return to it later) is to trus
the people. Have faith in them becaus
that faith is the foundation of fre
| government; and that faith is spreadin.
| throughout the world.
Government Ownership
Cooperation is growing word in gov
ernment; it is the doing of things to
Sether that cannot be so we'll done indi
Vldually. My observation is that ever
new thing is first attacked by epithet
II one cannot find a good reason for op

to trust the people unless we are our

as surely as the mosquito carries the
germ of yellow fever. The people will,
if they have the power, destroy the
breeding places of plutocracy. The in

MINNESOTA LEADS IN
NEAR EAST RELIEF WORK

Minneapolis, Minn.-Minnesota was
accorded singular honor among ten
states of the country at a conference
last week at Chicago, Ill. when it was
accredited with having the most eff
cient Near East Relief organization
among the ten states represented and
the added honor of having raised the
most money thus far among these in
the nationwide drive to rehabilitate
the stricken countries iof ;the Near
East.
Some of the counties in Minnesota
virtually have completed their drives,
showing enviable records. Other coun-
ties were delayed slightly owing to the
prevalence of influenza in isolated dis
tricts. In the remaining counties the
campaigns are we'll under way and re-
suits of a favorable nature readily be-

SENSATIONAL CHARGES.

The charge that Louis f. Post, assistant sec
rotary of labor, interfered to prevent the depor-
tation Of dangerous alien anarchist is sup
ported by documents laid before the immlgra-
ton committee of the house as a part of the
evidence on which his impeachment is asked
Another sensational charge is made by Rep
resentative Madden, Of Illinois, who alleges col
fusion between war department officials and
men on the outside In the business of selling
war supplies. These men are making millions,
Mr. Madden declares Nobody else except these
[. favorites'' has a chance to buy any war ma
'terial, but the government sells it to them at
any price they offer to pay. Il want it to be
distinctly understood = says the Illinois con-
gresham, that the officials in charge of the
sale of war surplus supplies are in combination
with men on the outside who are making mil
lions in the deal
In both these cases there is opposition to un-
covering the facts and the administration
probably win put such obstacles as it can in the
way of the impeachment proceedings and the
investigation of official misfeasance But con-
CESS has the power to act and seems disposd to
sift the charges, no matter what state of things
the facts reveal
