life unpleasant to all, unless you shout
for New Ulm." Brother Grimes evil
dentally had reference to the ball game
between LIE Sueur and New Ulm at
the Fair Grounds here, Sunday, July
81. It is rather surprising that he
failed to mention the fact that a goodly
number Of the lie Sueur fans, who ac-
companied their team to New Ulm
were sadly under the influence Of
"home brew" which they must have
imbibed enroute here, for their de
lapidated' condition was clearly
noticeable as they drove into town.
The local police took pity on one of
their number, who was particularly
helpless, and placed him in the palatial
city jail for his own safety, where he
rested comfortably until his friends
called for him when they we're ready
to return home. Brother Grimes, nor
any one else, can expect our police to
remain inactive when they are forced
to witness such a debacle of super
enthusiasm" as was displayed in this
city recently by the hapless hootch
holsters from lie Sueur.

Don't Read Your BIB e.

b
Thus reads the heading over an
editorial in a recent issue of Our Dumb
Animals, which continues: cat least
not if you don't want to run the risk
of becoming a pro-German. That
there might be danger Of this we gather
from knowledge that has come to us.
1t seems that late in 1917 DR.. Willard
A. Paul, Boston physician and a
humanitarian, a member of the Asso-
citation, to Abolish War, proposed to
print the Sermon on the Mount with
out note or comment. Whereupon the
secretary of the asso citation was official
ly informed by the Department of
Justice that such procedure would be
regarded by the Department as "pro-
German" 1t may be dangerous even
now to give wide publicity to this rare
bit of oriental literature. To read it in
Congress and suggest that the slightest
heed be paid to it's precepts would up
set many kettle of fish. We judge,
from what we see in the daily press,
that large majority in Congress never
heard of the Sermon on the Mount"
And we might add that no one has
ever accused the majority of Congress
men of being Socialists or free-lovers,
or that they are bent on the destruction
of religion!

It's Up to the Legion.

The Nation (New York; has started
publication of series of articles en-
titled: 1.-THE Truth About the American
Legion" Arthur Warren, the author,
brings serious indictment against the
Legion. He says that the Legion has
established a censorship of public
meetings, that it frequently resorts to
violence, that it intimidates public
officials and peace officers, that it is
attempting to dictate to the public
schools, and that it is sponsoring
bigoted and repressive laws and poll
cies: He declares that the Legion
has made no thorough or honest at
tempt to suppress violence of it's mem
bers and local posts.
The Legion can not ignore charges
as serious as these in publication OF
the influence and standing of The
Nation. Mr.. Warner produces mass
Of facts to sustain his allegations and
conclusions. We hope that the Legion
will meet these charges fairly and purge
itself of those leaders responsible for
putting it in position where it is
subject to such criticism and attacks.
We can not believe that any consider
able number Of Legionaires, nor a
majority of. its officers, want the
organization to be, or to be known as,
the kind OF. organization Mr.. Warner
pictures. Such an organization is not
representative of the ex-service men.
The charges do not apply to the Legion
bodies in many states, where it has
already purged itself of bad leadership
but the facts given by Mr.. Warner
as to it's vicious activities in number
of states can not be denied.
The Legion reaction to the articles
in The Nation will be test of its
honesty and good faith. The Natiom's
good faithFcan not be questioned. 1t
is performing service for Legion mem
bers as well as the public in calling at.
tention to wrongdoing and irrespon-
sible leadership in the Organization

DON'T BLAME RETAILER.

One year ago corn was selling for
$3.50 bushel and at this time flakes
sold for $3.50 case wholesale. There
are two dozen boxes in case. Today
corn is quoted at 81 cents bushel
and corn flakes are still selling for
$3.50 wholesale. We give this COM
parison for consideration of those who
blame the retailer for high prices. It
is not so much the retailer as the manu-
facturer. When the farmer was get
ting good price for his corn the
manufacturer of cereals claimed the
corn market regulated the price. Now
he says the raw material forms an in
fnitesimal part Of the expense of manu-
facture. Albert Lea Tribune.

Blatndering Batncombe.

Someone, advertising to be an anti
Socialist talked for about an hour here
Monday. He had two alleged singers
with him. He acted very much as if
he was advertising Townley by trying
to make people believe Townley was a
menace to every home in Minnesota.
Someone was paying the three men,
and their expenses. If the money was
used to help the needy it would be
money we'll applied. AS far as Town
ley is concerned, let him alone and if
he is menace he will soon die out.
However, there are many who believe
that Townley did world Of good in
the past and only was driven to Social
ism by the money men of tie nation
who will destroy every man who dares
to utter an opinion contrary to their
wishes. This applies to farmers as
well as others, it applies. to those who
actually take the part of the farmer,
as the News does, and not pretends
to do so, as some papers close at hand.

The same trio of laundering bum
combers visited New Ulm, last Tues
day. They ushered themselves in
amid the blare Of trumpet, but, in
spite of this effort, drew only cor
poral's guard for an audience, and
many Of these listened only through
curiosity.
The speaker, whatever his name
was, made no reference to the shabby
treatment which the ex-service men
are receiving at the hands of the
present state administration of Mime,

into office "to save Minnesota from

rear OF the trio's autos wa decorated
with badly dilapidated banners adj

Is is, indeed, amusing to note the
frantic efforts of the plunderbund in
Minnesota in it's attempt to continue
its bod upon the threats and pocket
books of the citizens of this great state
by continually Haunting the Social

part of what is said against the present
North Dakota administration by the
plunderbund hirelings is true, the
startling disclosures made would sure
ly warrant flooding that state with
speakers, similar to the buncombers
who visited New Ulm, last Tuesday,
who might try to rescue our neigh
boring commonwealth from Socialism.

boys have received something that
while they have no cause to be proud
thereof, will linger in their memory for
some time to come. The Republican
United States Senate, urged on by the
Republican President Harding, has
|repudiated the Bonus Bill, while the
Republican governor Of Minnesota,
J. A. o. Preus, arch-patriot and also
arch-hater of Socialism, has studiously
ignored former soldiers; sailors and
marines in his choice for petty public
Offices in this great commonwealth.
If you see ex-service men Of Minnesota
walking around in an apparently
dazed condition or with grim despair
plainly written in their faces, just re-
member that they do not live in North
Dakota, where the Bolshevists, So
cialists and Free-Lovers have provided
FOR them a generous bonus and honor
and respect them in the appoint ments
to Office. The present state admins
tration in Minnesota is notorious for
the fact that it's election promises are
observed more in the breach than in
the performance. One redeeming
feature, however, is that the young
men who were willing to sacrifice their
most priceless possession their life
for their country, are awakening to a
relaxation of this fact and it is barely
possible that they will make per-
manent mental note thereof.

The Painted Girl.

One of those unfortunate young
women, the victim of our present-day
demoralized social system, was found
dying from mercurial poisoning in a
large city, the other day, and before
she gasped her last, she made the
prophecy that 'higher up friends of
the man who caused her downfall that
drove her to suicide would prevent the
truth of her tragedy becoming known.
1t was the old, sad story of a budding
country lass, who had left the farm and
followed the tempting lure Of the big
city. She struggled along for time
at various jobs, and then succumbed to
the enticing bright lights, the pretty
clothes beyond her meagre earnings,
the call for luxury, the fattery and
deceit of an unprincipled man. From
her pure, innocent girlhood she was
sent along the road that leads to the
pit of despond.
A brother identified the dead body
of the girl, whose family had not known
Of the life she had been driven to lead.
And when the brother bent over that
|still form in the big-city morgue, he
saw in her lifeless hand bunch of
sweet peas. These little flowers, to-
gether with note, had been sent to
the coroner's office. The note was
signed: "a Painted Girl, and read:
"Dear Mr.. Coroner:
Will you please place these flowers
on the coffin of Marion Davis for one
who is ashamed to weep beside it?
81 want them to speak-to speak of
the little girl that she once was. l
want them to tell of her mother, who
may be living, and of her father who
loved her.
II want them to speak to other girls
and to tell them of the dangers and
pitfalls ahead Of reckless youth and
to warn them to beware.
II want them last, but not least, to
speak to public servants, is paid of

has too many friends among officials
ever to be punished
