The little three-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. -McKibbon of Lam:
berton was brought to New Ulm, last.
Wednesday, and submitted to an
operation for appendicitis at local
hospital. -1
Mrs. VIM. Pfeiffer is recovering
nicely from the effects of ia very serious
operation for the removal of a chronic
mastoid abscess, which she underwent
at the Union Hospital, August II.
She had been ailing for the past five
years and the operation was resorted
to after medical treatment failed to give
her relief. The operation was of a
very delicate nature, necessitating the
laying bare of the brain. 1t was a
success and Mrs. Pfeiffer will be able
to return home in about week.

LoadinQ.O2tr Enemies Guns

At Willmar the other day Farley P.
Christensen, the candidate of the
Farmer-Labor party for President,
staed that, in his opinion, the greatest
obstacle to the new progressive move
ment in the world to-day is the papers
we read. He naively asks why the
farmers and workers should support
their enemies by buying and reading
the papers of the opposition that
poison their minds, give them only
half truths and very frequently de-
liberately distort the facts.
Mr.. Christensen is absolutely right.
If the progressive newspapers in the
country that are fighting the battles
of the common people do not get the
necessary support, they will simply 60
down and out, the fight for better con-
ditions will come to a standstill and
all that has been won by hard work
will be wiped out. If you are sincere
in your progressiveness, do nothing to
strengthen the cause of the reaction
aries, and do not become discouraged
because the better things that you
hoped for are not coming quite as fast
as you hoped they might. Rome was
not built in a day-but it would never
have been built at all if those who were
pushing the project had helped the
fellows who were opposed to the plan.
If you are progressive, why sup
port a reactionary, interest-owned
press? -

A Dexaoralized Industry


For weeks past the dailies have re-
viewed4he coal situation and from all
we can gather from the various reports
that have been published from time to
time, it isSquite apparent, that there is
grave danger that there will not be
coal enough to keep the people from
freezing this winter and to keep our
industries going full blast. + The ques-
ton naturally arises why there should
be a coal shortage and why the prices
should be mounting from day to day
until they reach such proportions that
poor people could not buy any, even if
there were no shortage.
The blame is generally placed on the
miners, it being made to appear that
they refuse to work and go on strike
on the most trivial grounds. Now
comes Herbert Hoover who places the
blame on the general management Of
the mines, In recent speech he said
that the coal miners work only about
100 days during the year, little over
one-half of the actual working time
during the twelve montis.~ This is a
matter that is not generally known
and when there is strike on, this
point is not stressed at all by the daily
Iress. .l. ~ = =
Most Of the dissatisfaction on the
part of the miners has come from the
very fact that they are forced to be
idle about half of the time and that
the wages actually paid for the time
employed are not sufficient to insure
a decent living the year round. Ac-
cording to Hoover, the bituminous
industry has been demonstrated to be
the worst working industry in the
country. If the industry were managed
like every other industry the miners
would have work all the year around
and this would mean abundant sup
plies of coal for the country's use at a
lower price. But, according to the
mine owners, the coal industry is run
for the purpose of making money and
not for the purpose of serving the
public. The question that naturally
arises is, how long will the long-suffer-
ing public put up with these condi-
lions?

The NeqU State Press

Ever since the 10Th of August the
{. Minnesota Daily Star is an actuallty.
COn that day the long-looked-for daily
made it's bow to the public. Those
who expected to receive a paper as
voluminous as the other dailies were
doomed to disappointment. The new
paper is very modest in appearance
andup to the present time covers only
eight pages. There is a dearth OF
advertising, proof positive that the
big interests do not look with favor
upon the latest conner in the newspaper
field. What the Star lacks in adver-
Using is made up in good, wholesome,
live news: News of consequence to
the rank and file of the people OF this
state: News that is studiously over
looked by the capitalistic press is given
fairly and WE'LL Every day Herbert
CASTOR discusses topics of the day
and the editorials are very timely and
cover subjects of interest to the COM
mon people. Altho the Star is con-
fined to only eight pages, it takes us
longer to read those eight pages than
to read the twenty, thirty and forty
pages Of the Minneapolis Tribune and
we do not get half so tired turning page
after page to find reading matter that
has no particular interest fts us, and,
for that matter; for any one else who
wants something that sets him think
ling. In Our opinion Gaston's "Topics
of the Day" is we'll worth the price of
the paper alone.
we cannot recommend the new daily
highly enough to every one who wants
tohave something to think about when
he gets thru reading his daily paper.

Judge

What is said by old court attaches
to have been a record in chaingang
additions for one term of court was
set by Judge Littlejohn, of the Su-
perior Court. in the two weeks
grind which ended Thursday. Sher-
iff Harvey stated yesterday that 29
offenders. sentenced to serve at
least some time on the chaingang,
had been turned over by him to the
county authorities from the Supe-
rior Court in one week, in addition
to two from the City Court, and
that one who had been sentenced by
Judge Littlejohn remained yet to
be sent to the gang Of the 30 sent
up in Superior Court, 20 were for
violations of the liquor law, and
practically all of them pleas of gull
ty, the pleas becoming popular as
soon as a jury had handed from one
to two years to John Patterson, who
chose to contest the charge of max
ing whisky.
One liquor violator, an aged ne
gro, was permitted to pay fine of
$500, which he did, in lieu of year
on the gang. and another accused of
the same offense was not tried be-
cause of the enforced absence of his
attorney on the last day of court.

an association of nations, and Bryan

Suggestions for new American

In asking advice, Harding will
seek a program behind which there
is some assurance of a united coun-

ment Friday evening, will be held at
2.;30 O'Clock Sunday afternoon, it
was announced by relatives today.
A large attendance, because of his
widespread Acquaintance and promi-

spread a deep gloom over the entire
community. A number of relatives,
including his sister, Mrs. w. A. Dod-
son, of Americus, and Mr.. Dodson,
are here to attend the burial.
No developments today tended to
disprove the statements made by his
associates last night that Mr.. Lewis
business affairs were in good condi-
ton, and that his act was not caus-
ed by their being involved in any
manner. 1t is said, however, that
he had recently lost heavily in cot
ton and that this. and worries Incl
dent to general financial conditions
resulted, in a mental strain that
temporarily subdued his reason.
Br. Lewis was president of the
First National Bank and also presi-
dent of the Lewis Bank company of
this city. He was alone in his pri-
vate office at the Lewis Banking
company's building about 5 o'clock
when the shooting occurred. Others
who heard the shot investigated and
found his lifeless body on the floor,

by the banker, so far as known.

Just previous to the suicide, ac-
cording to reports, Mr.. Lewis or
dered a visitor from his place of
business just before 5 o'clock

alone when I kill myself" or words
to that effect.
The visitor, whose name was not
announced, had hardly stepped from
the door of the bank when the pis-
tol shot was heard.
The former congressman was rat

the peach belt, his holdings running
into millions. His friends here be.
lieve that there is some motive 9th
