a poor one, so he resorts to the use
of the Socialist scare crow Very
likely, being of reactionary turn of
mind, had he lived when the Public
School was first advocated he would
have shouted Socialism" He would
have likely opposed the Public Road
system. The State University and
Post Office he might ridicule as social
ist institutions. 1t is strange, is it
not, how quickly it becomes all wrong
for the state to do anything that is
for the benefit of the farmer? If for
the laboring man or farmers it is So
ciaEsm. Even the two cent stamp is
a good thing for big business which
uses thousands of stamps A few
cents more would not be much for the
average citizen. If it is a good thing
for the state to own an institution
like the University which feeds the
brain can it be such bad thing for
the state to own the big monopolized
institutions which feed the stomach
1t is these monopolies which are rob
bling the farmer and the farmer
knows it, and we refuse to be fooled
by the scare crow "Socialism."
TN last argument of dying cause
is an appeal to religious prejudice.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1920-05-19

These appeals and arguments are not
worth answering. When politics be-
come corrupt its appeal is to religion
to come to its defense. It is not IN
usual for dying cause to appeal to
the church to come to it's aid This
is not that the politicians have any
particular love for religion, but their
own sinister purposes can be better
covered up. The people will do we'll
to safeguard their religion by keep
ing it out of this sort of thing. Re-
ligion will live, for humanity is in
stinctively religious and that which is
common to nature can not be Destroy
ed. 1t, is, tho, pity that schemi4e
politicians should make use of it for
purposes of deception.
One more word, the fight Of the Ia
boring man and the farmer is not
against our town business men only
is so far as they may fight US, but
against the monopolies and centra-
lized wealth. 1t should be the fight
of the average business man. The
success and prosperity OF the business
man have depended upon our support.
1t is only just that he should recog-
niZe this.

LEWIS WHISTLES TITLE FROM STECHER

Garden tomorrow night. It will be the first bout in New York city in which the heavyweight title will be at stake by decision, if the bout goes the linn it. since May, 1900, when Jim Jeffries defended his title by knocking out Jim Corbett at Coney Island.
 Dempsey and Brennan have trained hard for the past five weeks. Today the champion went through light cal isthenic exercises while the challenger took a five mile road run and exercis- ed in a gymnasium for an hour. Both refrained from any sparring work.
 Although a weight limit does not figure in the contest, the two, boxers will weigh in at two o'clock tomof- row to conform with the state boxing regulations. The names of the two judges, who. will pick the winner if the full fifteen rounds are fought, will not be known until tomorrow night when the state boxing commission will make them public with it's choice of a referee. If the judges disagree, the referee decides the contest.
 The ticket sale, it is estimated, will net s2O0,000.' Dempsey is guaranteed s1O0, coo and Brennan $35,000. Most of the Preserved seats costing up to S2E have been taken and only the $5 gal lery seats have been held for sale to- morrow night.
 An elaborate lighting system has been installed to permit the aking 0. moving pictures of the contest.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKrr

Chics go, Dec. 13.-Strength deveIones in the wheat market today largely as . result of buying based on opinions that oearish financial and industrial factors had been discounted. Prices closed firm If to 3 3-4 net higher with December l.ss 3-4 and March 1.s1 3-5 to 162. Corn gained one cent to 1-5c and oats 3-sc to 0-sc. In provisions thero was a set back of 15 a 47 C.
 Notwithstanding many elements of de- pression in sight at the opening, pres sure to sell turned out to be much less vigorous than had been looked for. Shorts quickly took fright and soon all classes of traders began to show a decid. ed preference, at least temporarily for the bull side, the general assumption be- ing that the comparative s,Aallness of tie volume of offerings indicated that the market had been oversold and that the effect of depressing influences had been anticipated so far as the wheat market was concerned. Much of the buying that ensued was credited to exporters and there was also active demand for futures on the part of houses with country con- nections.

 Asked if he did not think that the haste in executing ship construction contracA, in the early days of the war. usually rs- suited in delay in the delivery of ves- sels, MT.

 'I never will defend the construction program of the Shipping Board on the ground that it was not wasteful" said Mir. Denman. Tt necessarily was waste ful. enormously so."
 Mir. Denman told the committee that Charles M. Scwab contributed more than any other individual to the government s shipbuilding program.
 Reverting %o the subject of motor ships, Mir. Denman said the rejection by the board of this type of vessel was ''the climax in the tragedy of blunders of the Hurley administration"
