Charles Arthur Prann was born Feb
rusry 6, 1870, at Cresco, Iowa, and was
accidentally killed by railway train
within few rods of his home in Min
neapois on July "a, 1920. He leaves to
mourn his untimely death. his wife and
two children, Chester aged II years and
Dorothy aged years, also three BROTH
ers A. w. and F. j. Prann, of Hermis-
ton, Oregon, and W. E. Prann, of Tim
Der Lake, S. D. The deceased had been
resident Of Minneapolis for at least
twenty years. Funeral services were
conducted at the home by Rev. Luther
B. Deck, the following pail bearers
being selected from his old Howard
County friends: Henry Taft. A. w.
Dorm, C. R. Hazledine, Lou Mason,
Myron Converse, Oliver Wanless.
Others present from Howard County

unable to recall or obtain The casket

terry, Minneapolis, Wednesday, July
18th.
Only few days before his DEATH Mr..
Prann and family attended the annual
picnic given by members of the Howard
County Picnic Association and renewed
acquaintance with his many Howard
County friends who. like he, had moved
to the Twin Cities, and from the mum.
Der of people attending the funeral who
had known HIM in Howard County, one
might almost feel that he was in his old
home.
The Howard County Picnic Associa-
ton acting under the kind and able
direction of Mr.. C. P. Nash demon
strated the value of such an organiza.
ton by lending their assistance to the
bereaved family and left but very little
for the brothers to do upon their arrival,
and the brothers at this time desire to
express their sincere thanks to the How
ard County Picnic Association and others
personally for the assistance and many
courtesies in their time of sorrow.

A special letter of advice and in

of Russia to the Bolshevists in
America, seized in transit, contains
this:

alias Winter a prominent Bolshevik~
of Lettish origin, says Mr.. Duranty.
The Bolshevik advice to American
fanatics is that Communist party
be organized out of the extremists In
all of the present wild-man camps,
that small neucleus centers of soldiers
and sailors be formed, that strikes
be organized, that instructions be
fomented and says that everywhere
it is necessary sharply to emphasize
the idea of selling the whole machin-
cry of economic administration by the
working class, and to direct toward
this object propaganda and agitation
by an cutlery against the high cost
of living
Bolshevists in America are advised
"that until the soviets have got the
! upper hand they must regard them
| selves as militant units of the fight
for national control and proletariat

| 1t is pointed out that care must be
! taken to keep American political d.
visions from splitting up the Bolshe-
vik movement and it therefore sug-
gested to the Bolsheviks that, "There-
! fore direct your energies along the
lines of developing the movement to

To be sure, it is a pleasant docu-
ment. Pleasant like pestilence.
Every good thing that America has

The reason the desires and COM

ter will not become operative In
America is that Americans don't want

an oid-fashioned reason; but it is just

ployment should be eliminated.
"The conference favors the en-
actment of beneficial features of the
bills, which tend to establish better
relations between employees and the
carriers.
1.-THE beneficial clauses should be
extended to the sleeping car and
Pullman Company employees
Legislation of the Cummins bill
type is wrong in principle. 1t is an
amazing departure from every Ameri-
can tradition. In addition to all that
may be said on that score, it won't
work.
The idea of trying to prevent
strikes by command is not new. But
it has never worked. If Congress
writes into law bill of the Cum
Minis bill type it will not only be
bunkling the railroad situation most
grossly but it will be committing an
error which sooner or later will have
to be und0ne and which will consti-
tute a most fragrant injustice until
it is undone.

WRONG IN PRINCIPLE.

Compulsion - force 49, the eternal
command.
That seems to be about the only
Idea Congress has in legislation.
No idea occurs to Congress except
the idea of force when it comes to
deal with the question of industrial
justice on the railroads.
Thou shalt not strike sums up
the intelligence of the legislators.
Recently there was held in Wash
1ngton conference of representa-
tlVes OF the railroad organizations,
those of the shopmen and of the
train service, and a declaration was
adopted which beyond question ex-
presses the sentiments of Americas
workers as to pending railroad leg
islation. Says this statement:
1T is the sense of the conference
that the control of the railroads
should be exercised by the govern
ment of the United States for a
period OF not less than two years. In
order that a proper test may be
made as to government control.
"That such test has not been given
a fair opportunity during war times
or since. .r
This conference is opposed to
legislation making strikes of workers
unlawful. It is the sense. Of this
conference that penalty clauses in

MAJORITY MUST RESPECT
RIGHTS OF THE MINORITY

\Gu4tOilal III the new Y Ork Orld.)
More than eighty years ago the
most profound of all students of
American institutions, Alexis de
Tocqueville, wrote this warning:
If ever the free institutions of
America are destroyed that event
may be attributed to the omnipo-
tence of the majority which may at
some future time urge the minority
to desperation and oblige them to
have recourse to physical force. An
archy will then be the result but it
will have been brought about by
despotism."
And further:
when / refuse to obey an unjust
law I do not contest the right Of the
majority to command, but I simply
appeal from the sovereignty Of the
people to the sovereignty, of man.
kind. Some have not feared to as
sert that people can never overstep
the boundaries of justice and rea-
son in those affairs which are Pc
culiarly it's own; and that, conse-
quently, full power may be given
to the majority by which they are
represented. But this is the language
of the slave.
"A majority taken collectively, is
only an individual whose opinions
| and frequently whose interests are
opposed to those Of another individ-
ua1 who is styled minority. II it be
admitted that man possessing alb
solute power ray misuse that power
by wronsing his adversaries. why
should not majority be liable to
the same reproach? Men do not
| change their, Characters by uniting
with each other, nor does their pa
thence in the presence of obstacles
increase with their strength"
These words are worth recalling at
a time when the popular tendency
toward repression is stronger than it
has ever been before in the United
States. Having destroyed personal
liberty BY means of prohibition, we
! are now engaged in destroying the
Bill of Rights.
There is no freedom of speech or
! of the press left except by consent
of the government. Police authority
! everywhere is denying to small min
| critics whose doctrines are unpopu-
lar the right of free speech. The
post office department, under au-
thority of congress, proscribes news
papers whose political and economic
politics are regarded as obnoxious by
the postmaster general. A police
department that recognizes the right
of assemblage in the case of min
critics tainted with radicalism is
held to be not only incompetent but
! deficient in patriotism. The New
York police on Christmas day at

wonderful theory that while the

on Sixth avenue, it is flagrantly IL
legal on Fifth avenue. Plainly, the
American people are getting away
from first principles. They are for.
getting their traditions and losing
sight of their ancient landmarks All
the radical agitators in the country
