Thinking of Her Loss.

She was thinking. Her eyes looked
over the hundreds of thousands Of
square miles of war zone, slashed
with trenches pitted and pockmarked
by shells. She sees where they fell.
No tears are in her eyes Long ago
the hurt had reached the point where
tears dry up. Row upon row. line
upon line. mile upon mile, white
painted wooden crosses mark their
graves. For the most part they were
her youngest born, her most beloved
who dug deep in the soil to sleep for
ever in the dark dugouts
As they fell bleeding from steel and
lead, choking from gas. writing in
agony from ire, they proved in the dy-
ing word they spoke that they were
mere boys, as they had shown in their
fighting that they were brave men. To

8 Many letters and kilograms are be-
ing sent to President Wilson from
mothers Of soldiers and American
legion posts rightly protesting against
his action in releasing from prison
"Red" Kate O'Hare, one of the most
notorious anarchists who ever
preached sedition in this country.
Here is the message sent the president
by the War Mothers of Bismark, N.
D.: Are we and our boys who fought
in France to understand that you and
your administration subscribe to and
approve Of the views and sentiments
expressed by Mrs. Kate Richards
O'Hare and for which she was law
fully and properly convicted?" To
pardon this anarchist, who compared
the mothers Of soldiers to brood sows,
is. to say the least, an outrage on
justice and an incentive to the spread
of radicalism. This red terrorist
should have been sentenced to prison
for life instead Of mere five years.

Representative Mason Of Illinois, we
do not know, but there is no doubt he
was afforded an opportunity to do so.
According to Mason, Baruch, when
head of the industries board, had,
through a committee, permitted 1OO,-
OOO, 900 pounds of copper which the
government had purchased at % cents
a pound to be sold back to the produce
ers for Is cents pound. Mr.. Mason
will ask the. attorney general of the
United States, after March A, 1921,
he says, to proceed both civilly and
criminally against Baruch. His rea-
son for not asking Attorney General
Palmer to take up the case is that
Palmer is a particular friend Of
Baruch. The charge should be sifted
to the bottom and Baruch, if found
guilty, punished, but it would seem,
from recent results in similar cases,
that to make an investigation under
the present administration would
avail nothing.

Harvey's Weekly: In spite Of the
slump in such necessaries of life as
wearing apparel, the prices Of bread,
meat and potatoes continue to rise.
The biggest months rise on record
was from March Is to April IS, and
the figures on the latter date were the
highest ever known, being 116 percent
above those of several years before.
How much higher they were on May
the government has not yet informed
us, but unless they took an awful
jump they were still below those of
England, which were 146 per cent
above the pre-war level. There is
ground for hope, however, that the
peak Of the H. c. L. has been passed.
The government reports that the price
of prunes is declining.

For years she has been preaching
anarchism practically unmolested,
and now she is turned loose to stir
up more trouble. B

Congress very properly turned down
the request Of the president for power
to take mandate over Armenia.
There are several very gooG reasons
for the decision. One is that it would
mean the maintenance in Armenia of
an army Of 10000 Of our boys. We
have better use for our young men
than keeping them in abominable pest
holes to do police duty. Another
reason is that the estimated cost Of
maintaining this force is 100000, 900
a year. America can find much better
use for its money than pouring it
down the ratholes Of Europe's dirty
backyard. Still another reason for
keeping our fingers off Armenia is
that the effort to entangle US in the
whirlpool of eastern Europe is nothing

One Francis G. Cary, Minneapolis
attorney, has been very properly dis
barred by the state supreme court
from practice. in Minnesota for dis
honesty in appropriating sums award
ed injured guardsmen, and the depen-
dents of guardsmen who lost their
lives in the Moose Lake forest fire of
October, 1913. Cary has also been
dishonorably discharged from the state
military forces, where he was Judge
advocate Of the motor corps. It is to
be regretted that this villain, who
robbed widows, orphans and injured
men for whom the legislature provid-
ed an appropriation cannot be barred
from practice in every state in the
union.

TT is easily believable," says the
San Antonio Republic, that leaders
of the socialist party told the truth
when, they stated at their convention
in New York that Wilson was elected

cal lconclusion to be drawn from the
books contents was that it's author be-

Much fear is manifested by Wilson
democrats that Mr.. Bryan will domi-
nate the San Francisco convention
and word has gone forth from Wash
ington to check Williams progress be-
fore it is too late. To check Mr..
Bryan, however, is something that the
Wilson cohorts will find it impossible
to do. Bryan is laying his wires to
dominate that convention and, by
hook or by crook, he is going to do it.

A press agent story from Washing

j. A. o. Preus, as is generally
known by newspaper readers, was the
choice of the republican selectWe Tor
eliminationy convention as it's candi-
date for governor, and he possesses
all the qualifications necessary to
perform the duties of that important
office. It is to be regretted, however.
that there are other candidates on the
republican primary ballot. notwith-
standing that julius A. Schmahl has
graciously withdrawn. This means
that the vote, which should be solid
for Mr.. Preus, will be split up and
give Shipstead, the nonpartisan league
candidate, who was permitted to go
on the republican ballot, an advantage
which he would not otherwise have.
Hence, all republicans should not fail
to cast their vote for the conventions
nominee. A. o. Preus.

An active campaign has been start
ed in behalf of Judge Homer B. Dibell,
who is candidate for reelection to
the supreme bench of the state. The
Judge is not a politician and has a
distaste for anything savoring Of
politics, hence his many friends have
taken up the fight for him. Judge
Dibell is regarded as one of the most
able jurists on the state supreme
bench and his loss would be in the
nature of calamity. His record
shows that he is peculiarly fitted for
the office he now holds and it would
be to the interest of all to return him.
