PRESS COMMENT
ALEXANDER DUNNETT
tBalre TimcS)


The late Alexander Dunnett of st.
.Iohn"Luly was Of the type Oh sturdy
Vclmontcr, both physically and men,
tally, which one is accustomed to as
soclutc with the state. Born in Yer
mont and reared in the famous old
town OF Pcucham, he developed many
o! the traits which 20 to make up a
splendid sort OF individual. He was
keen mentally and possessed of a
good Knowledge of human nature in
its many phases In law he stood high
As a citizen he was rated as one OF
the best. As Il man he was held i'll
Eigh esteem throughout the state.
The degree of esteem in which he
was held is cxcmplificd by the many
honol% which came to him evol since
he was first admitted to the bal back
in 1877. That he was denied the
honor, which he sought, Of being a
re preventative of Vermont in Con-
gross, wa not because Of q low esti-
mate OF his worth by his fcllow-cit-
izcns. And, in this connection, it is
rather a strange coincidence that he
should have passed away on the day
when another contest was being
wayed very similar to the one in
which he participated six years ago.
Though denied the distinction Of
going to Congress, Mr.. Dunnett had
since then been given other recogni-
ton, which showed the extent of the
confidence in which his fellow citi-
zcns held him. He was of the type
truly representative of the state and
had come to be recognized as one of
the states leading citizens.

2A 20 .-ELH
The state industrial Communications has
decided 70 place at Grand Forks n
large terminal elevator which the
stats 10 "a build. and the mill which
IL to form part OF the same plant. The
decision having been made to con-
struct such q plant, the question Of its
location became Al important one. 1t
was = business question. pure and
simple, to be solved on the basis OF
known facts relating to our grain pro-
duction, the facilitis rs for and the needs
OF transportation, and a number Of
other business conditions. 1t was the
duty of the commission to locate tbs
plant at the place where, in the light
OF all these conditions, it would be Of
the greatest service to the people.
Grand Forks was selected as the site
for the plant; and in this The HerAld
believes, as it has said several times
before, there was made the selection
most likely to be beneficial to the
state. ID
Every community in which such An
enterprise is placed has also a local
interest in it. as everything which
tends to bring people to the city and
to keep them remuneratively employ
ed has it's local value. Our people
have therefore every reason, from
the purely local standpoint, TO be we'll
satisfied with the decision made.
II the subject has a political aspect,
@l,4k 1r~&o$ So ~ 49, S-,orol =. >.-
consideration which is given it in its
financial phases. The effort has
sometimes been made to use this en-
terprise, which ought to be consider
ed from q business standpoint alone.
for political purposes. The natural
willingness of local people to welcome
this, as they would welcome any other
business enterprise, has sometimes
been used as the basis for an arsu-
ment in favor Of the acceptance by
those same individuals OF political
principles which are utterly repug-
nant to them, and sometimes has been
advanced as evidence that such prin-
eipies had been accepted, Such ar
gument and Interpretation are un-
sound and false, and are to be resent
ed and rejected.
In the arrangements made for the
placing Of the elevator and mill here
it vas agreed that under certain con-
ditions which were carefully specified,
the local Commercial club would take
care OF the placing Of one million dol
lars worth of bonds issued against
the enterprise. Without question that
agreement will be fulfilled on the part
Of the Grand Forks business people.
Became of conditions over which
neither the state nor the Commercial
club has any control that bond aale
cannot be completed for some time.
In the meantime. in order that funds
may be raised for preliminary work,
it is proposed that 100000 worth Of
bonds be placed Immediately, with q
similar amount q little later o
This, like the entire enterprise, is q
business proposition. The institution.
when completed as planned, will be
OF value to the city, and it is to be
expected that suitable steps viii be
taken to raise whatever money is
needed locally for that purpose.

AN UNFIT

One Of the men recently arrested
Ii Chicago in the government raid on
radicals is Rafael Malien, statistician
lot the federal trade commission.
Mallen, is said to be q member okthe
communist labor party. That fact re-
mains to be established. According
TO the published dispatches. however,
he was without n question confined
la the military prison at Camp Grant
In 1917 as 4 conscientious objector.
H ma or may not develop that he
has been guilty Of ofenses which
would subject him to punishment for
criminal revolutionary practices. That
remains to be established also, but
. mar who during h time while the
United States was at war refused mill
taFX service, and was Imprisoned for
his refusal, and whose associations
since that time have been such that
there Is even plausible suspicious of
being a member OF the communist
LABOR. party, is 0 a fit person to be
entrusted with official duties as a
n1ember of such a board as the fed
eral trade commission ought to be.
It is not news h the personnel
OF this commission, or at least OF its
employees is not above suspicion. The
charge was made in congress n O very
long ago that q great number Of en-
ployees Of this commission are motor
iously in sympathy with radicals and
~radicalisn, and the demand has been
made that the force be weeded out.
The case of Mallen seems to be the
first n in which the department Of
Justice takes action, but unless the
statements made in congress are in
correct action should be taken in
other cases and even il there no
bases for criminal proceedings there
ts need for q thorough fumigation OF
the whole outfit
The statements made with reference
70 the personnel Of the force Of this
board may furnish some explanation
OF peculiarfties in the actions Of the
board itself, Of the bringing OF charges
right and left without the p%resenta-
ton Of evidence to sustain them, Of
loose talk in which charges are i'm
Piled but not made, of efforts made
to cast suspicion on the business tn
tegrity of business men, and to stir
up class feeling throughout the ooun-
try. All these things would be en-
tirely natural and almost inevitable
In the board whose Investigations are
conducted and whose facts and fig
ures are collected by communists con
scientiouS directors, and other ami
mails of that particular class. The
federal trade commission Is it exists
has outlived its usefulness.
