TRICKS OVERLOADED
ON STATE HIGHWAYS
To Prevent Damage TO Roads,
Department Will Prosecute
Offenders.

Recently it has been discovered by the
State Highway Department of Delaware
that q number of five-ton trucks using the
State roads, are carrying loads up to eight
and nine tons. As this Is an infraction Of
the State maximum load laws. offenders
will be warned and prosecuted
For the detection Of those overlooking
their trucks, the department will purchase
n set of road scales, which will be placed
along the road To overload the truck is
also an infraction of the load law allowing
so many pounds per inch per tire. IL has
been found that two-ton trucks are also
making q practice Of carrying loads up to
four and half and FIVE tons.
The law regulating the weight OF trucks
will not allow overlooking truck on
account of the design OF the width Of the
truck wheel peing such that the load per
inch pcr tire Will be exceeded by the over
loading Of the truck.
A recent test bv the Bureau OF Public
Roads. Washington, led TO the discovery
that the heavy load carried by trucks
causes more damage 20 roads than any
other traffic. The test showed that truck
travelling IL miles per hour will multiply
its weight six times In passing over one
inch variation in the road, thus: II The
truck was passing along the road at the
rate stated and ran over a stone one inch IN
height, the blow upon the road would
measure SIX times the weight OF the truck
and lead.
Another clause in the new laws regulat-
ing loads and speed upon the State high
WAYS is that all commercial trucks carry
ing loads, must have plate stating the
weight Of the load placed in some con-
spicuous place on the truck. Enforcement
OF these laws will start Immediately.
Charles NJ Upham, chief engineer for
the department, will 20 TO New York this
afternoon TO arrange for the purchase OF
dunn bodies for trucks. These bodies are
being offered for sale by the government
As excess war supplies. They were former
" used for the transportation OF ammuni-
ton.

A deserved trouncing which they
will not soon forget was administered
to a number of girls working on
Sylvia Pankhurst's communistic paper
in London on Armistice day. While
thousands of people were lined up on
Fleet street observing the two min
utes Of solemn silence in honor of the
fallen dead, as provided in the days
program, these girls sang, danced and
beat upon tin cans. Waiting until the
two minutes had passed, the indignant
crowd on the street invaded the news
paper office and, while the men stood
aside, the women gave the girl en-
ployes sound thrashing. It was a
case where the offense justified the
punishment meted out, and the women
who made the attack are deserving of
praise for their action in defending the
fallen heroes who cannot defend them
selves.

Sherman J. Lowell of Fredonia, n

Sherman J. Lowell of Fredonia, N.
Y, master of the National Grange,
says that nationwide selling organiza-
tions which shall fix the price of farm
products will be established if the
farmer does not receive the same pay
for the same hours of work that others
receive. He says: "We are willing
to have a fair understanding of val
ues, the farmers receiving the same
pay for the same hours of work that
others receive, no more, no less, but
we feel this is the last call. If no at
tention is paid to this now by bankers,
manufacturers, railroads and labor
organizations, and if the government
continues to import raw material free
of duty to reduce costs, then the
grange will be the first to help orga-
nize nationwide selling organizations
which shall fix the price of farm prod
ucts." It cannot be denied that the
farmer is entitled to as much as other
workers for his labor, but at the price
he now receives for his produce he
does not obtain it.

WILLIAM f. LEE.

In the death of William E. Lee Min
aesota loses one of her strong men.
Mr.. Lee was most successful bust
ness man and will probably long be
remembered as such in the town of
Long Prairie, But it is not for these
qualities that his name is honored
throughout the state. His friends are
today offering tributes to William E.
Lee, the man who gave unsparingly Of
his time and energies to serve the peo-
pie of his state. For quarter of a
century he was active in public life.
During that time he was speaker of
the house, superintendent Of the state
reformatory at St. Cloud, served on the
board Of control and was twice candi-
flate for governor.
+ Mr.. Lee undoubtedly never realized
ibis ambitions in the field of politics.
He was man of the utmost integrity
and was unwilling to compromise him
self in the slightest degree to win any
Ioffice or position. The citizens of Min
nesota owe much to Mr.. Lee and sew
eral other political leaders of his day
who rendered their state such excellent
service.

In the Minnesota nonpartisan league
platform there was a plank advocat-
ing the exemption of farm improve
ments from taxation. We do not be-
lieve the majority Of intelligent, fair
minded farmers in Minnesota would
endorse such plank. When man
can earn enough money to erect a
large barn on his farm he is generous
and fair-minded enough to wish to
contribute portion of his earnings to
the support of the government and the
industrial system which made it pos
sible for him to earn this money. Our
state institutions, such as the schools
and the highways, belong to him as
much as to any other citizen in the
state, and he should be proud to con-
tribute portion of his earnings to
these institutions. Our scheme of
taxation is built upon the principle that
each. man shall contribute to the state
according to his wealth.

High and beautiful tributes were
paid by Great Britain and France to
their soldier dead on Armistice day.
In London the body of an unidentified
soldier was laid to rest in Westminster
abbey with impressive ceremonies
among kings, sculptors, painters, and
other men famous in their day. At
Whitehall King George unveiled a
permanent cenotaph to "The Glorious
Dead" and in Paris the body of a
French soldier taken from nameless
grave was entombed under the Arc de
Triomphe and the heart of Gambetta,
the French statesman who was vir-
tually dictator during the >troublous
days succeeding the third empire in
1870, was deposited in the Pantheon.
In both Great Britain and France
Armistice day was of national char
acter-it was observed throughout the
length and breadth of the land with pa
rades, memorial services and meetings
where patriotic addresses were de-
livered. Let us give our allies in the
bloody conflict that praise to which
they are entitled for so befittingly OBJ
serving this day of days.

Harvey's Weekly: There have been
so many reports of marvellous discov-
cries and inventions of substitutes for
gasoline for fuel that every new one
must be received with prudent reserve.
Nevertheless there is little reason to
doubt that rich resources will some
day be found in many things which are
now regarded as worthless and are
permitted to go to waste. The an
nouncement that valuable fuel has
been distilled from wheat straw is by
no means incredible, and since it is
made by the federal department of
agriculture we may hope for prompt
and authoritative demonstration of it's
truth or falsity.

ALVAH EASTMAN.

The St. Cloud Journal Press COM
ments on the good record of Stearns
county in the recent election and gal
lantly accords most of the credit TO
the ladies'. All honor to the women
Of Minnesota who have demonstrated
that they can vote Independently and
intelligently, but the glory OF the VIC
tory does not rest entirely with them.
It is the editor of the home paper
who reaches the people in our rural
districts, they know his voice ana
harken to it. When man with Al
yah Eastrnan's ability wields the pen
in the editorial columns Of paper
with the circulation and prestige OF
the St. Cloud Journal-Press he exer-
cises a tremendous influence. In the
June primaries Shipstead carried
Stearns county by 1923 votes and in
the November election Preus' plurali-
tv over Shipstead was 6,321. To the
editor of the Journal-Press belongs
the lions share OF the credlt Ior thls
victory. During the past few months
he has incessantly preached the gos-
pei Of clean, straight Americanlsm,
bitterly denouncing Townley and his
clique of leaders who have shametully
abused the confidence of our most
honest, loyal citizens.
Mr.. Eastman also deserves much
credit for another big victory in
Stearns county, the adoption Of the
Babcock amendment by a majority OF
almost 5000 votes. The St. Cloud
Journal-Press surpassed all other pa
pers in the state in conducting the
most active and effective campaign
for the Babcock amendment.

Charley Mitchell.

Charles S. Mitchell, for fifteen years
editor of the News Tribune, has re-
signed to go to Washington as edi-
torial writer for the Washington Her
aid, the newspaper which julius
Barnes, Herbert Hoover and others
recently acquired.
The Herald keenly regrets to see
Mr.. Mitchell leave Duluth, for his go
ing and that of his brilliant and capa-
BILE wife will leave vacancy that can
hardly be filled. W.. are going to miss
him, and Duluth is going to miss him.
Mr.. Mitchell is not only one Of the
best and most vigorous editorial writ
ers in the country, but a forceful
speaker. Both in his professional ca
pacity and as private citizen, he has
been throughout his. residence in Du-
luth vigorous contender for construc-
tive things. His ebullient spirits, his
perennial good outside of
politics his cheerful fellowship
have become factors in the community
which we shall sadly miss. With
tongue and pen he has kept everlast-
ingly at it, never stinting his energies
in public causes. Mrs. Mitchell, too,
has been an outstanding factor for
good, making and filling most useful
place in the community.
Before coming to Duluth Mr.. Mitch
ell was for years one of the leading
country editors Of the state.

Washington gets them. The best
wishes of the Herald go with Mr.. and

field which they are so abundantly
fitting to adorn.- Duluth Herald.

It is generally believed that King
John signed the Magma Charta. How
ever he did not, but merely attached
his seal. John could not even sign
his own name, and in the good old
days of this good old king there were
very few people who could subscribe
their signatures. The scribe who en-
crossed Magma Charta, however, wrote
a better hand than Horace. Greeley,
Henry Watcrson or Clarkson, and it's
good thing for the world that he did.
