Shakers Must Be Punished.

The Bergdoll Stacker case is taking
on the proportions Of national scan
dial. That this wealthy recreant will
escape recapture and punishment is in
conceivable, but the point now is
whether, when punishment is meted
out, it will include those who were OBJ
viously involved in the recent flight.
Law is without passion or revenge,
but must be relentless. The heat and
ardor of war feeling have subsidized, but
the purpose and mission of law
are unimpaired. Time might soften
Individual resentment, but law always
is the same, stern, passionless and inn
personal.
But for the resources of his wealth

ing, but it cannot end must not chcet

Special Law for Farmers.

With the knowledge that existing
conditions have imposed hardships up
on the farmer class which may be
catalogued, there is in addition con-
viction that in general way the agri-
culturist is special victim of condi-
lions and therefore subject for spe-
cial assistance. Such condition is
at the root of the passage of the Vol
stead bill legalizing farmer combina-
lions and the collective marketing and
sale of their own products That it is
a species Of class legislation cannot be
questioned; but that it is legislation
justified by conditions is the argument
which carried the measure through by
an impressive majority.
Such legislation is the recognition
Of the importance Of promoting the
general agricultural industry at what
is regarded as critical period. The

farm is at the foundation Of rational
existence, to ssy nothing Of national
prosperity. Our supply Of foodttuffs
must be our first consideration. Con-
ditions Of late years have steadily
initiated against the farm and are
eliminating in situation Which makes
field labor increasingly difficult to OBJ
tain and at costs steadily ascending.
1t is to result Of conviction, ratncr
than q clearly a1.d logically worked-out
theory, that legislation in the farmers
interest meets approval rather than
objection.
Labor was granted special favor in
national legislation, but the suspi-
cion was presei-t that politics, rather
than economics, YVES the Influencing
factor. In the faIm2r case there
seems to be less Of politics and more
of economies; and there is an absence
of evidence that congress was subject
ed to coercion of the usual character.
1t may be expected that the effect of
the new legislation will be to increase
the price of farm products; otherwise
why enact it? But the fa-,seeing view
must be that it is destined to prevent
still higher prices and, by promotion
OF the industry, guarantee the food
upon which the national life depends

about four months.
Funeral services were conducted by

initiatory ceremony. Following a
well arranged program the members
Of the new class, 20 in number, were

An of Day for Princeton.

Too much crow at the banquet Fri
day evening put decided crimp in the
Princeton ball team. At any rate the
locals sustained severe drubbing at
the hands of the American Express
aggregation of Minneapolis. 1t was
real woozy exhibition Of the national
pastime, but there are extenuating
circumstances that account for the
poor showing made, and it is safe to
say that it wont's happen again. The
final count was IL to 8.
Sid. Michaud and Moose Anderson,
Princeton's regular battery, were en-
gagged elsewhere. OF course Princeton
had a pitcher and cateher-at least the
management understood that these
two were stars of defensive baseball.
They scarcely twinkled at all, though,
during their brief stay here. Prince
ton has played a couple of games Of
the fastest kind of ball, and as it will
have it's regular lineup right along
hereafter, fans can look tor some
classy exhibitions.
For next Sunday Manager Craig
has dated up the powerful Buetner
team of the Minneapolis city league.
Princeton will have it's strongest nine
in the field and the contest should be
hummer.

Pool Room Burglarized.

The pool room on First street was
burglarized on Saturday night. On
Sunday morning the proprietor dis
covered that screen had been re-
moved from rear window and the
window left open. Upon investigation
he found that someone had opened a
coin sack which contained nickels and
carried off about SO worth, leaving SIS
in the bag. Whether any cigars, can
dy or other goods were purloined the
proprietor was unable to determine.
1t seems that the burglar or burg
lars had umfastened the window before
the establishment closed and entered
during the night, being compelled to
pry up the window with achisel, as
the marks of the tool were plainly
discernible on the sash. Why the
burglars left S. worth Of nickels in the
sack is conundrum.
There is no clue to the perpetrators.

Hard Roads in Sherburne County.

This county is one Of the smallest
ones In the state both in population
and area. It has only S,136 residents,
yet will receive SIS miles of the pro-
posed nearly 1000 miles of hard
surfaced trunk highway for the state.
Estimating the cost Of construction
at 100000 mile, there will be ST.
725,00O spent here.
There are 1,177 motor vehicles reg
istered from here, and if the legisla-
ture establishes the license fee at an
average OF $18, there will be $21, 1886
paid into the state highway fund each
year.
But there is saving Of 2 cents. a
mile estimated by government stats
ticians when motor vehicle is oper-
ated over hard surfaced roads. At
this rate it is only necessary to run
the cars 1000 miles over the pave
ments to save $23.54O on an invest
sment of $21,1s6. 8
There are 725 miles of road now in
the county, according to the state high
way department. Deduct the SIS
miles Of pavement and there will be
667.5 miles Of road to be graded, grav-
|eled and maintained by the county road
and bridge fund at no increase in the
tax rate.
Summed up, the advantages to this
county to be obtained by the approval
of amendment No. are 575 miles OF
boulevard, 667.5 miles Of good country
road, and the yearly savings to be
made by operating the motors over
the surfaced roads.
All this costs nothing but Eyes

unable to be present because Of illness.
At the armory, which was beautiful
ly decorated with bunting, flags and
flowers, a program very appropriate
to the occasion was presented. FOL
lowing the singing of the Star Span
gled Banner Rev. Geer offered an in
vocation. Then came selection by
a ladies' chorus with Mrs. Anderson
as accompanist, and Chairman Nc
MILAN, in a few wel}-chosen words,
introduced the speaker of the day,
Chas. w. Ramshaw, chaplain Of the
125th field artillery.
The speaker said he had heard much
of Princeton and was greatly pleased
to be with us upon this occasion. He
lauded the old soldiers for the work
they accomplished for their country
and the spirit Of patriotism with which
it was performed. He said he had
always held in high respect the boys
of 81 and never passed one Of them,
who are now dropping off at the rate
of hundred day, without saluting.
Rev. Ramshaw also eulogized the
Spanish American war veterans and
the men of the great world war. He
spoke of the noble spirit with which
our boys answered the call to go
across and the remarkable bravery and
GOODNESS displayed by them while un-
der fire. Many incidents Of the war
were cited by the speaker to show the
gallantry with which American ser
vice men served their country in the
great world conflict. The American
soldier may not be religious, he. said,
he may be rough on the surface, but
his heart is right. The economic end
of the Warwick was war of the
common peoplc-has yet to be fought,
he declared, and no :. one can predict
what will occur; the principal thing
today is for every man, woman and
child to do his or her part be patri-
otto and loyal. In conclusion he
praised the soldiers and hoped that
God may bless them as they go for
ward.
Chaplain Ramshaw spoke extempo-
raneously and interjected into his
discourse many stories Of the war,
giving actual experiences in the con-
fict. He is fluent speaker and his
address was greatly appreciated.
A selection by male chorus, bene-
diction by Rev. Geer and the singing
Of 'tAmerica" concluded the program.
Upon leaving the armory a process
sion was formed with the band, re-
turned soldiers, sailors, marines and a
long line of automobiles and other We
hicles, which wendell its way to the
cemetery-the old soldiers being con-
veyed in cars.
At the cemetery the ritualistic ser
vices of the G.. A. R. for the dead were
read, the graves Of the veterans dec
grated, and Memorial day observances
in Princeton closed.

Harold Chapman Passes Away.


The Union deeply regrets having
occasion to chronicle the death of
Harold R. Chapman, a boy born, raised
and educated in Princeton, and SOL
der who virtually sacrificed his life
for his country.
At II o'clock on Monday night Har-,
old was called to join his comrades on
the other shore. He died at the home
Of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. M.
Chapman, in St. Cloud at the age Of
nearly % years.
He proved himself, to be a true,
American citizen by his notable mill
tary career. When trouble broke out
on the Mexican border he enlisted in
the Princeton National Guard and did
border patrol work there while the
trouble lasted. He was then trans
ferred to the 125th artillery and rose
in that branch from a private to a
sergeant. In order to get overseas
more rapidly he joined the tank corps
battalion 306, company G. In this SER
vice he sailed from this country on
July Il, 1913, to England, where he
underwent additional training.
After a short time spent there he
went to France, wherehe was engaged
in active service. It was here, in the
service of his country, that he con-
tracted influenza, complications of
which cost him his life. He was
gassed while in action and in this
weakened condition he was unable to
withstand influenza and later tubercu-
losis.
Returning to St. Cloud the young
man, still in a weakened condition
secured a positip in Hibbing and went
there only to discover that he was I'M
able to fulfill his duties on account Of
his health He returned to st. Cloud
and from there went to Wadena, where
he took treatment at the Tri-County
sanatorium. Finding that this was Of
no avail he returned to his home.
where he declined rapidly until his
DEATH
Impressive services were held at the
armory this afternoon, Rev. Milne con-
Quoting the solemnities. The cere:
mony was under the auspices of the
st. Cloud post of the American legion
the members of Fremont Woodcock
post, Princeton, participating. Inter.
ment was at Oak Knoll, where Ser.
geant Chapman was laid to rest with
full military honors.
Harold has done his duty and his
country will revere his memory. He
has fought and died in his country
cause and the cause of her allies.

progressed until the clock in the
steeple struck three. Several men
from the crow festival participated in
the dance.
The crow banquet and the ladies'
stag party were most enjoyable social
affairs and the music by both the

could scarcely be improved upon.
