"Murder Will Out"

Let's see-wasn't it Knute Nelson
who made speech in the United States
Senate about the terrible alien Reds
in this country spreading Bolshevism,
etc.
Now it appears that Gustaf Nelson,
old Knute's son-in-law, is not citizen
of the United States, but an alien.
Probably if old Knute will look into
his own pocket, he will find that linn

Careful search might reveal skeleton

percent loyahsts, as it did in the m usty
family dungeon Of senile old Knute.
We might add, in passing, that Knute's
alien son-in-law is having sweet tine
of it, trying to free himself from the
charge of manslaughter, as the result
of the killing of an Alexandria man by
the discharge Of weapon in the hands
of Knute's alien son-in-law Lynch
law threatened the latter, because the
justice CT the peace before whom he
was arraigned, arrogated to himself the
power of freeing the defendant, instead
of binding him over to the grand jury
of the district court.

altogether Monday evening. Service was
restored at 10 o'clock Tuesday night.
The Messenger is issued Under discour-
aging circun stances this week and if not
up to the usual standard or appears a
trife late it is because for a day and a
half we were unable to run our linotype
or presses, at a time when the paper is
usually being set up
/. To be sure, certain sections of the
city of New Ulm suffered inconvenience
as the result of an interruption in the
service of the municipal plant during
the storm last Tuesday night, but it did
not take nearly two days to get the
damage repaired and resume the service,
Electricity was AVAILABLE again early
Wednesday morning.
And still one hears few would-be
know-it-alls claim that the City Of New

foreign corporation! But, then, one
must always consider the source of the

opposition is made up OF skinf1lnts

Forsaking a Sinking Ship.

By what occult power has the New
Y ork World been made so reckless?
Lifelong in it's democratic procliyi-
ties, it now comes out in an unmistak-
able announcement swearing allegiance
to Herbert Hoover for president, even
though the latter is republican. While
the World does not say as much, it
is assumed that the paper will hence
forth at least eschew the future ambi,
tions of President Wilson, In renounc-
ing its faith in the democratic party,
the World says: The people are tired of
professional politicians and disguised
with party politics. The old party
lines have been broken down $ . and,
in respect to principles, both parties are
bankrupt 10 aseca Journal-Radical
The New Y ork World, like many other
wide-awake newspapers and periodicals
of national circulation, have finally come
to realize that the American public can
no longer be influenced by lies and mis-
representations and are forsaking the
present Democratic administration as
rats forsake doomed ship.

The Hand,1riitsng on the Wall.

l.
The victory ofsthe Working Peoples
Nonpartisan Political League OF Mime
sofa in the St. Paul primaries on March
16 is one of great Importance to the
whole state and to the progressives OF the
whole nation. 1t is the handwriting on
the wall for the corrupt machines and
stubborn reactionary forces everywhere.
In July, 1919; st. Paul elected Oscar
Keller, the labor candidate, to Congress
by big pluralities over his two machine
opponents Now it has given William
Mahoney first place in the race for mayor
by plurality of 1908, and all OF labor's
candidates for the city council are far
ahead of the rest Of the field. No
stronger indications could be, found for
the awakening among labor inthe Saint
ly city that their only salvation from the
strangle-hold of the old machine lies in
the use of their power at the ballot box.
1t was no easy task undertaken by
independent labor at its convention
July last here in New Ulm, but the issues
at stake were worth fighting for.
The St. Paul victory, no doubt, will
have far-reaching effect on the situa-
ton in other parts of the state, includ-
ing New Ulm, where labor for the first
time in the local history has put up an
independent ticket for city Offices.

The legislative, executive and judi

been passed in the house of represen..

Free ing Copitalistic Offenders.

While champions of the common
peoples cause are, still confined in Fed
eral prisons for political crimes" CAPT
talistic offenders, among them men
who defrauded the Federal government
out of thousands of dollars of income
taxes, are being given their freedom
before the expiration Of their sentences,
imposed upon them after the shrewdest
legal talent obtainable was unable to
overcome the governments chain Of
evidence against them.
In view of this astounding inequality
of justice, is it any wonder that the
common people of this country have,
in great measure, lost faith in the
integrity of the courts and the just,
impartial administration of law, as well
as in the execution of the laws DEGREES
by the other agencies of the government?
Men who transgressed the laws of
our land, not through lofty ideals, such
as opposition to legalized murder, CON-
monty known as war, but rather for
personal gain, thereby cheating the
government out. of5its just dues, are set
free, while men who bravely expressed
their honest opinion, although realizing
that this opinion was not popular with
the powers that be, are still in penal
servitude.

Pittsburgh has set good example in
curbing the law-breaking propensities
of neddlesome leaders of the American
Legion" The well-known Austrian vi
Clinist, Fritz Kreiser, was to give con-
cert in that city. Like in several other
cities, some loud-mouthed Legionaries
who were eager to show their stupid
conception of patriotism wrote to the
mayor of that town, asking him to
prohibit the concert. The mayor re-
fused to comply with the impudent re-
quest and sent a force of policemen to
prevent any interference with the ar
tistic performance. Another well de-
served rebuke came from the music
loving public. The big Carnegie Hall
where the, concert was given was filled
to its capacity, many people had to be
turned away. 49,. .. ... .-.... -

charging that the Nonpartisan League
was unfair to organized labor, be-
cause the Farmers Terminal Packing
CO. has employed non-Union work,nen
in the construction of it's plant at New
port, MINI. The packing company was
purported to be an Equity concern and
the Equity COOPERATIVE Exchange in
st. Paul was said to be "allied with the
Nonpartisan League -...
The evening edition of the paper,
the ST. Paul Dispatch, gr,dgingly re-
tracted this and printed part of a
statement prepared by Oliver S. Morris,
editor of the Nonpartisan Leader, on
behalf of the League.
Tne statement declared that the
Farmers Terminal Packing Co. has nc
connection, direct or indirect, with the

published astatement by Ira ]. Chryst

Buclwheat is my answer to the cold,

the best farmers in Delaware county, n.
\. He cannot hire help for planting po-
tatoes, cabbage and similar crops, or for
a dairy, but points out that buckwheat
can be sown quite late, will yield heavily
on good land, and in view of the prospec-
tive shortage of other grains, it ought to
sell readily at good prices.
Each passing day emphasizes the posi-
bihty of food shortage next winter 1t
seems safe to conclude that everything the
farmer can raise ought to command good
prices. The real danger is that, in spite
of their desire to do their best, farmers
will not be able to produce nearly as
much as the market requires. There is no
conspiracy among them to reduce con
sumption, but farmers are this season the
victims as never before of inexorabc con
ditions wholly beyond their control

economic upheaval which America is ex-
periencing. Here are some of the sec
retary's thoughts as he penned them:
FIRST, There Is no essential reason why
this nation should not continue financially
on a sound and safe footing. There is no
present cause for alarm. 1t is important
that we shall at no time become alarmed
or lose our heads. Panics are the result
IN part of unwholesome states of mind.
When one has difficult situation to face,
it is essential that he keep himself well
in hand, but it is equally necessary that
he look the facts squarely in the face.
lHdustpially, this nation is In a funda-
mentally sound position. but there are
tendencies which must be controlled. I'm
due credit expansion must not be per-
mitted. Further initiation must be pre-
vented. Many of our banks were not in
position they should hold at the begin
ming of the planting season. If initiation
continues, it will mean further increase
of price, further demands for wages, in
creased costs. unrest and strikes
Second. Increases in the discount rates
alone, influential as they may be, will not
suffice The intelligent and effective CO.
operation of business men through the
exercise of discrimination in Industrial ex-
tensions and through restraint in their de-
mands for credit, and especially of all
bankers in extending Accommodations, Is
of the first Importance.
Third Until recently the government
seemed to be in position where it could
90 forward with existing tax provisions
and meet its obligations from tax receipts
with occasional resort to temporary Dor
rowing through tax certificates; but the
situation has recently threatened to be
changed for the worse The railroad leg

treasury which together with appropria
