Mr. Moore said it had been decided
it would not be 'dignified' for Governor
Cox to leave his office in an effort to

Mr.. Mack sharply criticised the plat
form adopted by the Republican party

He was also active in Red Cross, lib

After the war Mr.. Perkins went to

mistakes had been made there was

NOT NATIONAL ISSUE

Old John Barleycorn will not be an
issue in the national campaign. Lead
ers of both parties are seeking to
bury the issue and feel satisfied to
permit the matter to stand as it does.
They feel that they are toying with
hot coal, and perhaps they are.
The liquor question is one which is
dead and buried in America. There
are those who do not believe that this
is right, but the majority are not Of
this mind. The "Wet," will stand on
the street corner and rant about his
"rights," but put to an issue, there
is not one in ten who would ever wish
to see the return of the old conditions.
There are some "rights" which are
a detriment, and the right to drink
intoxicants is one of these.
Liquor, like dueling, has had its
day in America. There was a time
when dueling was a "gentleman's
right" but neither dueling nor getting
drunk ever played a prominent part
in the welfare of America.
The dropping of liquor as an issue
in the national campaign is indeed a
wise undertaking. The issues Of the
campaign can now be fought ont ON
purely principle lines and mans per-
sonal greed will in no way interfere
with the campaign.

lions and consequently they are not
taken seriously by any faction in
Mexico.
It is true that American lives must
be protected in Mexico and along the
Mexican border. Petty display of
force is something of joke even to
the Mexicans who are honestly of the
opinion that they could easily defeat
the United States if the state Of
Texas were removed from the Union.
AS a matter of fact, the nation at
large, is mighty tired of President
Wilson's sWatchful Waiting" They

the numerous murders of American
citizens too long. If the government
is really in earnest, the crisis in Mex
leo can be quickly brought to close
on very short notice and with little
difficulty and without declaration of
war. An embargo on all goods into
Mexico from the United States would
soon bring the greaser to terms. No
half way measure can be tolerated
with the bandits.

machinery will give adequate service

criticism has been directed at the
Herald because this statement was
made. The secretary Of the Light
and Power Commission made this
statement to the Herald, and deen,ing
his statement as sufficient proof of
conditions the information was made
a matter of news.

which we are responsible, but we de-

FIGHTING FOR AMERICA

There was never a battle fought in
the great war or in any other war,
which was of more Importance to the
nation than is the defeat of the
Townley socialist faction at the polls
in Minnesota at the coming election.
Townley and his gangsters are as
dangerous to American interests and
principles, as was the German war
god of Europe, and more so by far,
than was the Southern Confederacy
at any period.
And the pitable side Of this colos-
sal question, is the lamentable way
in which this handful of radicals are
preying upon the minds and deeds of
the honest, true and hardy American
farmer.
Toying with the very foundation of
democracy, these snake-like politicians
and job-hunters, wrap their coils of
Misrepresentation, greed and deceit
about the unsuspecting citizen, and in
the daze of glowing market condi-
lions, uses his vote to forward the
practices of soviet Russia in this
land of American ideals-this govern
ment, the essence of which now pre-
dominates the civilized world.
And it is at the polls next Novem-
Der that Americans in Minnesota
must meet this dragon. There must
be no halfway means in dealing with
him. American grit and American
pep and intelligence, can easily cope
with the gatherings of the Radical
Socialist.
Go to the polls in November with
a united front. Cast your vote for
American principles. America as
Washington made it. not as Townley
would have it.

MUCH ABUSED FICTION

It is amusing sometimes to note
with what confidence, the press Of the
nation hangs to the teachings OF it's
childhood and blindly adopts as facts,
certain fiction, using the same as a
basis of discussion of modern subjects
of every nature.
In an effort to bring to light the
profteer, an editorial writer this
week cuts loose with an editorial on
Captain Kidd's Kids" in which he
likens the profteer to the pirate bold
and cited Captain Kidd as a pirate
most feared in We olden times.
It is true that Captain William
Kidd was hung in London as pirate,
and it is true that for many years, he
was believed to have been a pirate.
AS a matter of fact, Captain Kidd
was not pirate. At no stage in his
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1920-05-06

career, did he ever float black flag.
His buried treasur was all fiction.
On the contrary, Captain Kidd was
a gentleman of standing in England.
He was retired naval officer and
during the war with France, sailed
his own ship under legal privateer's
charter, granted him by the king of
England. A misunderstanding with
the British Admiralty, brought him
into difficulties with the crown, and
he merely suffered the consequences
after the fashion of the times.

INTERESTS OF STATE GREATEST

No body of men ever gathering in
the state of Minnesota has a greater
responsibility resting upon them
than those participating in the forth
coming state convention which will
assemble at the auditorium, st. Paul,
Saturday, for the purpose of placing
a full state ticket in the field as can
didates for the Republican nomination
at the June primaries.
The Herald has expressed it's pre-
ference for julius A. Schman!. We
are still of the opinion that all things
considered, he would be the wise Sc
lection. However, there are a num-
Der Of other good men to be consider
ed. Hon. Michael Bowling, Of Olivia,
is one of the really big men of the
northwest, and would be a credit to
the state as chief executive. "Jake"
Preus, the popular state auditor, will
have a strong following in the con-
vention, although he has not fled for
the nomination. Fred Hadley, past
president of the Minnesota Editorial
Association, and editor of the Winnie
bago Enterprise will come to the con-
vention with his county enthusiastic
cally behind him. The Herald be-
ieves the selection will be made from
one of the four above named. Either
of them would raise the governorship
of Minnesota from the very mediocre
position to which it has fallen dur
ing the last few years.
The various counties held their
convention yesterday to elect dele
gates to the state convention. Har-
mony prevailed and in most instances
the delegates were sent to the state
convention unrestricted.
A number Of the men who have
filed have signifcd their intention of
remaining out of the elimination con-
vention. Just what thew expect to
gain by this the Herald cannot
fathom.
The convention will represent the
interests and desires of large
majority of the Republican forces of
Minnesota. Most Of the delegates are
attending the convention with open
minds; they undoubtedly have their
personal preference for governor, but
they realize the perseverance Of the
best interests of Minnesota demands
the naming of the strongest man pos
sible on Saturday. The desires of any
particular individual must be subor-
dinated for the best interests of the
state as a whole
If this procedure is followed the
next governor of Minnesota will be
selected at Saturdays convention.

Loss Of Appetite

AS. a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of appetite, and
fl you skip meal or only eat two
meals day for few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least five hours should
always elapse between meals so as to
give the food ample time to digest
and the stomach period OF rest be-
fore a second meal is taken. Then if
yon eat no more than you crave and
take a reasonable amount of outdoor
exercise every day you will not need
to worry about your appetite. Whe

of appetite is caused by constipation
as is often the case, that should be
corrected at once. A dose of Cham
