The Northern Minnesota Editorial as
ISOLATION meeting held at St. Cloud last
week was quite well attended, and the
program as a whole was good. There
were some good shop talks, and good adj
dresses were heard on other matters of
public interest. Friday morning 8
meeting was held at the reformatory.
The editors were taken through this
well-kept institution and were served
an excellent dinner, the reformatory
orchestra playing throughout the serv-
ing of the meal. It is fine organiza-
ton and was accorded much applause.
A visit was also made to the Pan Motor
works, which was interesting. All de-
partments were working, although moi
up to capacity, but st. Cloud people
have great faith in the ultimate success
Of this institution. Headquarters were
at the home Of the Elks,. where on Fri
day evening an excellent banquet was
served by the citizens. The visitors
were accorded every hospitality by the
people of the Busy, Gritty Granite City
during their stay, which seemed only
too short.

In an address on "Americanism in
Public Affairs'' before the Northern
Minnesota editors at St. Cloud, Mayor
Hodgson of st. Paul touched upon the
subject from a different angle than a
good many speakers, there being an
absence of the claptrap so often infused
by those speaking On the matter. Re
said in part:
"We are not broad enough in our
definition of anarchy" Mr.. Hodgson
said. "Anarchy should be defined to
include any one who is guilty Of self
ishness. The man who profiteers, the
man who exacts special privileges
from his fellow men, is an anarchist in
the broad meaning of the term.'
"We must get back to the ideals Of
our forefathers. There must be com.
mon sense and tolerance in America.
We must learn to view our problems
without passion. In place Of violence,
and hatred, there must be patience,
kindness and tolerance.
"We cannot Americanize any one
by dragging him into hall and
preaching down at him. The better
way is to make him part of his
country. Teach him how to enjoy our
parks and Fairgrounds, invite him into
our civic affairs, make him a member
of our commercial clubs, our churches,
our schools. Then he will come to the
realization that America is his country
and with this realization will come
patriotism.''

st. Paul.-Influenza was declared
epidemic in Minnesota by DR..
Charles e. Smith, Jr., executive officer
of the State Board of Health, after
members Of the board had unanimous
ly arrived at that conclusion.
Health authorities throughout the
state were Immediately called upon to
put into effect regulations for it's con-
troll. These regulations include:
Prohibition Of public meeting in 10
calities where an outbreak occurs, ex-
cept where permission is granted by
the State Board of Health to hold
such meetings.; health officials to re-
port all cases of influenza and deaths
resulting from the disease to the State
Board Of Health; health officials to
quarantine and placard premises

tine to be maintained until five days

The fire department received an un-
usual kind Of call Sunday morning. The
person giving the alarm stated that
there was no fire at the time but that
he thought one was starting and he
wanted the fire department to be ready
to respond in case it should be neces-
sary. There has been more or less
amusement over this call as it seems
rather absurd for anyone to ask the
fire department to wait until fire was
going good before responding.

we may take his word for it, so far as
he is concerned. Mexicans, however,
