Appea' s to Prejudice.

In the last year of his life Abraham
Lincoln said he feared that the rapid
ly accommodating corporation wealth
would overthrow our republic. 1t
would be done, he thought, by appeal
ing to the prejudices OF the people,
and would be accomplished when
wealth had been concentrated IN lew
hands.
8 During the political campaign pre-
ceding last Tuesdays election, we
have seen many heart-sickening evil
dences of what careful and able judge
of human nature the immortal Llncoln
was. The whole campaign of organ
lied wealth and greed against the
organized farmers and workers was one
Of appeal to prejudice.
We saw fathers of families, whose
income was greatly shortened by the
profteers, raving against the farmers
and workers because of an alleged Tree
love menace. We saw mothers OF
sons and daughters who must soon 60
out into the world, repeating the same
childish prattle. Why? Because
crooked politicians, wearing the mask
of respcctability, while their machines
thrive on the tainted revenues from
houses of i'll fame, told them so. These
fathers and, mothers did not seek the
true knowledge They became hyster-
ical upon the appeal to prejudice and
fought the one definite hope of pro-
tecting their sons and daughters from
the tertacles of the real free love
menace.
Why do so many people fail to
realize that the terrible free love
menace is with us, stalking the streets
CT the small town ss we'll as the big
city, growing as rapidly as tn
profteers are forcing more and more
women to work for less than living
wages, and more and more men to work
for less than is absolutely necessary
to support a home? And how car
any clear-minded person, knowing
that vice resorts are illegal, fail to real
ize that those now hourishing are pay
ing protection tribute to the politi
cians-the same politicians who have
been defending the profteering whicl
produces the unnatural conditions?
On the other hand, not only wa

an enlistment, or rather a -re-enlist-
ment, Of every American who has any
spark OF humanity left burning within
mis- breast, 1t means that we shall
once again unite as a people to give
power to an engine for world welfare
and human happiness, which but for
the efforts of few would have gone
to the scrap heap, or simply have be-
come a dummy, to pull our own
freight on our stub line tracks. We
cannot sink back into the. pre-war
states, where charities were supported
only by the interested or wealthy few.
Your dollar or your ten or your
hundred is needed because it means
YOU back of it. If we are to take
part again in rehabilitating tie stricken
peoples cf the world, or if we are to see
to it that our own manned or sick
soldiers are to be properly cared for,
or ii we are to build up physical and
social welfare in cities and towns and
rural districts, we must enlist every le
and that means YOU.
Furthermore YOU need the Red
Cross as much as it needs you, and
that leads me to my second point

back into the slough of self-interest
Class wars, labor troubles, capitalistit
manipulations, self-indulgence, ano

terests and let the other fellow *
hang. We need suprenely the teac4.-
ing o Jesus. "Beware OF covetousness

and broad enough to center the atten
ton of the nation on unselfsh ends

Official paper OF New Ulm, MINI.

According to A. w. Aamodt, general
manager of the Minnesota POTATO
Exchange, the jump of 35 cents in the
price of 'spuds" within the recent past
is but the forerunner of further IN
creases, possibly raising the cost OF
this table delicacy so that it will
exceed 81 per 100 pounds. This is an
indication that the farmers and other
potato growers have marketed their
crop, for the market showed anything
but an upward trend while they were
hauling their ''murphies' to town.
This is but another instance of where
both the producer and the consumer
are gouged by the unscrupulous'
parasit.cal middle man.

get ahead when the few can keep

magnificent work accomplished by the
American Red Cross Probab no

success to the altruistic and human /

Unccvering The Real Facts.

Doctor Walter T.. Scheele, special
chemist for the United States Govern
ment, who has been analyzing the ma
terials which caused the Wall street
blast, has found that so pounds OF
blasting gelatin caused the tragedy.
This substance, consisting OF 93
parts of nitroglycerin and parts OF
nitro-cellulose, is extensively used in
excavation work.
Again the bomb theory advanced by
agents of powder companies, the
Federal secret service and the police,
who would be guilty if it had not been
bomb, receives a serious blow.
Several persons who were on the scene
of the explosion declare that they saw
an ordinary powder wagon hit the cur
bing and topple over. Instead Of search
ing all possible clues the police deliber-
ately destroyed several whichwouldlead
to implication of some powder COM
pany or contractor.
The New York press, which thrlves
en- large company patronage and on
the ''red menance," is now attacking
Doctor Scheele's finding by describing
at great length how he was interned
during the war as an enemy alien. As
matter OF fact, he was only nominal
