business away from small neighbor-
hood banks.
On the morning that the advertise
ment appeared, one of the banks, the
Michigan Avenue Trust Company, was
closed with shortage in its accounts
Of over 100000. George M. Rey-
nolds, leader of the Chicago money
trust, admitted that on the day be-
fore the advertisement appeared, he
knew the bank was insolvent and that
his nephew in charge of it had dis.
appeared.
The New Majority, official paper Of
the Chicago Labor Party, reviewed
this history editorially and ended by
saying:
"Most of the workers, if they ever
get their money back, will take the ad-
vice Of the Chicago Federation of Labor
and put their money in the Bank OF
North Dakota, guaranteed by stable
state government.
The big bankers were evidently
thoroughly scared by this unacceptable
logic. So AZ of the large banks got
up full page advertisement quoting
the New Majority editorial, branding
it as "Bolshevik Brainstorm, and at
tempting to scare the workers with
what would happen to Chicago if
workers we're unwilling to take other
chances on the money trust.
Factories would be forced to lay of
their help" says the Money Trust
"Brainstorm, because the banks could
not assist them to meet their payrolls.
Builders would be forced to stop build
ing for lack of capital. All basis OF
credit would cease. Poverty would
increase at an enormous rate and crime
would sweep the city,"
When the opposition admits the
point further debate is waste OF time.
Farmers and workers should begin on
the means of getting their own money
where they can have full control OF it.

Amnesty.

& The United States has today the
unenviable distinction of being the
only country where the administration
has not granted full amnesty to all
its political prisoners. Every German
agent convicted of overt acts against
the government during the war has
been pardoned. Some were convicted
of placing bombs on ships sailing for
European ports. Both the light
sentences they received and the
clemency shown these criminals Of the
old ruling class Of Germany are
significant. Acts which, if committed
by American citizens, would incur the
death penalty for treason, are ap-
parently considered Of minor import
ance when compared with the frank
criticisms uttered by citizens in war
time: This contrast in the treatment
Of the two types Of war offenders
presents an interesting commentary
on the psychology Of our governing
classes.
The analogy is all the more astonish.
ing when press reports indicate that
the failure of the President to act is
due to his desire to wait until peace is
signed with Germany. We would
understand the reasoning employed
to justify this course were it used to

Another Admission.

That the power of the big bankers
lies in their ability to command other
peoples money, as Louis D. Brandeis,
now justice of the Federal Supreme
Court, used to say, finds another con-
firmation in an advertisement put out
last week by AZ leading banks of
Chicago.
The circumstances of the advertising
spread of these banks are worth noting.
On July Fl number Of big banks in
that city ran an advertisement in the
Chicago Tribune, advising people, in
large type, to "Start a Savings Account
in One of These Strong, Conservative
Banks..,, Its purpose was to take

Neither V9lla1m nor SG91at.

Who has not observed the curious
fact that the very people who talk
loudly against those who advocate a
little public ownership, are most
anxious to give the state place and
Importance in the public mind held in
ancient days by a ruling monarch.
To those of us who say: 'Let the
government save the farmers some
money by putting up few terminal
elevators, or by operating the rail-
roads for SERVICE" their reply, when it
is at all reasonable, is: "That govern
ment is best which governs least. Keep
government out of business. The
government spoils everything it
touches"
On the other hand, they ask us to
believe that the government in some
mysterious way is always right, that
it is our duty to give it unquestioned
support in everything; that it is
superior to personal welfare, to- the
home, to the Christianity that may be
in some of us, to any conflicting prin-
ciple we may have. The last word for
virtue in the common herd" is:
"Theirs not to reason why; theirs but
to do and die. Surely this govern
ment or state is most remarkable
thingl
Neither view of the state which
these reactionaries offer is correct.
The state will make a success or a
failure of a certain undertaking de-
pending on the men who administer
it, the principles back of them, and the
obstacles to be overcome. Politicians
fighting for interests opposed to public
ownership, cannot make success of it.
AS for the view that the state is a
supernatural power, perfect in wisdom
and in morality, we believe the abb
surdity of this is apparent as soon as
it is stated in these terms. Why then
does it have such hold on so many
people? Our guess is that because it
saves a man the trouble of doing his
own thinking. 1t is so much easier to
take a slogan from Washington or a
state capitol and be ready to hammer
any heads opposed to it than it is to
think out the issues for ones self.
We might call it getting ones think
ing done wholesale" Easy, convenient,
saves worry, avoids persecution by
dominant elements, makes one most
respectable with the profteer crowd.
But in "this way madness lies, for the
plain people of democracy.

Get Busy.

~ DCVC0s
Rumors have been current here the
last few days that the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway Co. contem-
plate removing their repair shops to
Tracy. There may be nothing in this
rumor. The facts are that under the
state law, railroad companies must
provide sheds wherever more than five
men are employed. 1t is also a fact
that officers of the Company were here
several weeks ago with plans for the
erection of sheds or buildings at New
Ulm that would accommodate from
fifty to sixty workmen and that
nothing further has been heard. It is
very significant however that the fore
man of the repair crew at Tracy has
orders to call his entire crew in for work
and that he is also instructed to hire
Is more men.
Without question New Ulm is the
best paying station for freight that
this railroad company has west OF
Winona, and on account of the milling
abrick and tile and other industries
that require cars for car shipments
this would seem to be the logical point
for the erection of the larger unit of
car repair shops. The business men
of the city should certainly be in
terested in retaining an industry here
that will give employment at good
wages to from SO to 60 men and it
seems to us that it is up to the business
men and the large shippers to convince
the railroad officials that New Ulm is
the logical point for the large repair
shop unit. A little moral suasion
will do no harm and it should be used
before the matter of the location of the
repair shops is definitely settled.

RURAL SCHOOLS OPENING
EARLIER.

Labor Day was the signal for a lot Of
youngsters to begin work at school.
This was notfin New Ulm, however.
because the acity kids did not have
to shoulder their book packs until
yesterday morning. The rural boys
and girls in eleven districts of the coun-
ty were the sunlucky ones. 1t seems
to be the tendency among rural schools
to open their5fall sessions earlier. In
the years gone by many OF the rural
schools did not begin work until all
the farm work was we'll out Of the way
and the little fellows lost all the time
they might have been putting to good
advantage in the school room during
the bright autumn days. Then when
the deep SHOWS prevented them at
tending regularly in the winter they
lost out again. Now the schools be-
gin in early September and October
and this gives the five to ten year olds
"a better chance to keep up with their
town contemporaries who go to school
from September to June.
Eleven rural schools In Brown 4 oun-
ty opened Monday of this week, next
Monday twenty three more will get
busy, fourteen the following week, and
ten the last Monday in September, a
total Of fifty-eight out of the eighty
four schools Of the county. October
follows with twenty-three more which
gets everybody at work, with full
tea ching force. Supt. Kennedy states
that all rural schools are supplied with
teachers or. will soon sign contracts
as the teaching shortage is no longer
so acute as it has been.

Of Golden were visitors here one day
last week.

visit with friends.

Justify the continued incarceration Of
German agents convicted Of criminal
acts. But considering that all these
criminals have been released, it evil
dent that the matter OF clemency does
not rest, at all upon the present rela-
tons between the United States and
Germany. If such relations were q
bar to any acts Of clemency it is certain
that the German criminals convicted
in American courts would not be re-
leased to return to q country still
nominally at war with the United
States.
We decline to accept the Iatest
reason given fort failure to act. 1T is
not in accord with the known facts.
1t is known that one militarist organi-
zation, the American Legion, born I'M
der mysterious financial auspices; that
has INDUCED in Kidnapping of Socialist
speakers; that has fostered mob
spirit and has inspired and led mobs;
that has usurped the civil and police
functions of many communities; that
is nursed by, chambers of commerce
and has attempted to terrorize, those
not in accord with its ignorant and
reactionary views, has insolently at
tempted to thwart the efforts OF
millions to restore this country to its
old status as nation where ALL are free
to speak and to write. This budding
mi!ltarist-junker clique does not re-
present the present or the future.
It represents the era of abysmal
hatreds which it. hopes TO keep alive.
If it gained ascendancy in the councils
of the nation it would suppress every
civil right with the bayonet as the
strutting militarist caste did in the old
Germany. It represents darkness, not
light; ignorance, not intelligence;
stupidity, not tolerance; militarist
bureaucracy, not enlightened humans

disliked, for the sake of the man she
loved? This is the theme Of 'aThe
Gauntlet" starring Harry T. Morey.
It will thrill and please you. Miss
Aileen Setter will execute some artis-

Riddles On Again.
The seven Little Goulds made such
a big hit, Monday and last night that
we have decided to put them on again
in an entire change Of program, Sun
day evening. Many people were dis
appointed, as they were unable to find
seats owing to the fact that our theatre
was crowded to the doors. Corinne
Griffith as Rosalie Ray, the vaudeville
actress, in "The Garter Girl" proves
that, while the stage is the land OF
make believe, her love affair was real,
even if she were an actress. We will
also show Fox News and a good
comedy, and the orchestra will render
an overture. No matinee on account
of the ball game. We're going to help
New Ulm defeat SEakopee.
Something Different.
Our spotlight number for next Mon
day and Tuesday evenings will be
something entirely different from any
thing we have yet offered. Sylvester
Schueller and Miss Lillian Fehlhaber
will waltz and fox trot. They're
classy. Come and see them.
