about Japan than babe knows of integral calculus
They all proceed upon the assumption that few
American jngoes chiefly living in Calfornia-are trying
to provoke by nurng the sensbhtes of the patient
and peaceable japanese.
The truth is that if with Japan occurred
until the United States attacked Japan then that
never would occur.
But what these simple persons do not know is that
the danger lies in the probability, and indeed in the
reasonable certainty, that the japanese military will
make upon
Our Government well knows that this danger may
spring out of ambush at any time and leap throat
Every officer in the navy knows it.
Every who has frst-hand, reliable acquaintance
with Japan knows it.
The repercussion of the Russian revolution has had
profound effect upon the Japanese The Japan

the free peoples in the cant of the periods a
tyrannca despotsm, based mtarism and the ruthless
exploitation of its subjects and of subjugated peoples
The invanable resort of every such desposm, when
it fears its subjects to hurl them into with
another people
That the policy of the japanese despotsm, and
that is why should be armed and prepared for an
assault by that despotism.
No knows better than the British Government
that Japan medates and fevershy preparing for this
warand may well judge the sincerity of that friend

George, when England renewing hard and fast
alliance with Japan and note that English yards

joint naval attack of Japan and England and in the long

BOlting the
Open Door
~ REAT BRITAIN, Japan and the
= United States are pledged to
~ the omen door in China


Kwantung is the province in
China in which Canton is situated.
1t was governed a year ago by a
gang of militarists from the adjoin
ing province Of Kwangsei, confeder-
ates of the notorious pro-Japanese
Anfu party, then in power in
Peking.
A British company secured from
these interloping freebooters, who
have since been expelled by a ma
tive uprising, a ninety-year monop-
oily concession of the rich coal de-
posits of the province, with right to
control all transportation facilities.
The concession becomes valid
when approved at Peking. Imagine
what chance the open door would
have if Great Britain, in alliance
with Japan, controlled at Peking, on
the basis of the north of China to
Japan, the south to Great Britain!
China would be plundered of its
eye teeth.
That, fellow Americans, is one of
the purposes of this imperialistic
pact.

Sen-encouragement of day dreaming may

have to work for the rest OF your Iife-no

Your day dreaming may have reached such
a stage that you actually live in a world Of
your own imagination and believe yourself
almost in possession of great riches.
You have a mental picture OF man who
suddenly becomes interested and donates
enough to you to assure you OF at least small
income the remainder OF your life-enoush
to keep you as well as you are today
The you indulge these illusions tn.

silly Imagination ruins the mind for con-

Guard against this state Of mind which rem

Sales Tax,
EcOnOmy
n HERE is no sense in the United
States Government spending
FIVE billion dollars this year.

TO spend money that way IL you
plain folks united in demand that
all the waste and extravaganza be
stopped-and backed up your de-
n1and with real threat to use your
votes against every Congressman
who failed to vote to cut down ex-
penditures.
And that is exactly what you
plain folks would do if you had any
idea that most of this money was
being taken from you-taken from
your wages by being added to your
cost of living.
Every time majority in the
I Congress votes to spend another ten
millions or another hundred millions,
or another thousand millions, that
means either less pay for you or
higher prices for what you must buy.
In other words, YOU pay the
taxes which the Congress spends SO
! extravagantly-not Mr.. Rockefeller
or the Steel Trust or the big income
chaps, but YOU, John Smith, and
Henry Brown, and Richard Green,
and the rest of you.
It's plain that you do not know
that or you would make a row
about it.
If this money was taken out of
your pay envelope each week there
would be no holding you. The howls
you would set up would scare Wash
ington into fits.
~, Now, if there was universal
sales tax on every single transaction,
big or little, EVERYBODY would
realize just what this abominable
waste of public money meant to
HIM, and there would be no more
five billion dollar appropriations
after this year.
The sales tax should be put on
every sale of everything-on the sale
of stocks, bonds, real estate, auto.
mobiles, machinery, fabrics, food
stuffs, furniture, drugs, jewelry,
luxuries-everything, so as to spread
it as thinly as possible over the in
dividual sale, and so as to make
every American acutely conscious of
how much of his money his public
servants are spending.
If your household expenses are
$3.50 year you are paying $3.50
Of that in concealed taxes and
pyramided profits.
If there were only a / per cent
sales tax on each turnover you
would pay from $1,035 to $1,O4O
for your same annual household ex-
penses.
That is to say, you could live ex-
actly as well as you and your house
hold do and put from $3.50 to 5000
in the savings bank.
And yet there are men who tell
you working people that the sales
tax is meant to shift the burden of
taxation from the shoulders of the
rich to your shoulders.
Don't believe that. 1t is not true.
The proposed sales tax would
exempt income from sales amount
ing to 5000 a year or less from
all taxation.
You never will escape taxation
entirely, because all taxes come
from the last buyers; but you CAN
escape the pyramiding of profits
that increases the concealed taxes

III cannot be refuted that there are
times when masters Of the old school
of diplomacy can use language to con-
vey their thoughts as cleyerly as they
ofttimes employ It to conceal them.
Take, for instance, the speach Of Earl
Curzon, British foreign minister, when
referring to France. The real protec-
ton Of France" he said, does not con-
sist in the strength of her armies, the
spirit Of her people, nor even the JUS
tice Of her cause, but in the fact that
the conscience of the world and the
combined physical forces Of the world
including both Europe and America
will not tolerate the temperance
in the heart of Europe Of great and
dangerous power thatzrattles it's scab-
bard as a menace to the peace Of the
world" In this there is the answer to
Premier Brands plea for a big
French army and at the same time a
warning against French aspirations
for military hegemony in Europe.

A man who goes around with the
corners of his mouth dropping, saying
there is no money this year, there will
be no Christmas, makes us weary.
Anyone who persists in singing that
mournful tune ought to have real
misfortune befall him which might
possibly put some stiffening in his
backbone. No one ever heard that the
children in the brown stone mansions
have any more real fun at Christmas
time than the healthy youngsters who
gather around the hearths in the little
white cottages and farm houses. Many
of the elders might learn a valuable
lesson from the children who are bliss
fully satisfied with few wholesome,
simple pleasures. Then again, most

Mrs. Max Schloss Of San Francisco

Mrs. Max Schloss Of San Francisco,
a member of the California state board
of charities and corrections, and a
woman reputed to be endowned with a
large share Of common sense, is quoted
as saying: II. would not vote for a
woman just because she is woman"
Since the sex line has been eliminated
from our laws it ought not to reap
pear even in politics. Politics founded
in consideration of sex may be as
vicious as politics based upon any
other narrow or selfish interest. There
are no differences between men and
women tending to make that which is
good for one and bad for the other.
A very common impression is that
women in politics should specialize in
matters relating to their own sex and
to children. This is obviously wrong
conception. If there is special neces-
sity for anything in the way of legis-
lation for women and children it is
quite as much the concern of men as
of women. Whatever is for the well
fare of any element is the business of
all, and those to whom community in
terests are committed are obligated as
much in one phase of community need
as of another. At least that is our
view of the situation.

omitted to add that the IL heard the

able lawyers while the II, 000, 900
scarcely read any of the testimony.
This being true, it: is clear. that the

stances, therefore, the judgment Of
the IL outweighs the Judgment of the

jumped as nnarionettes, while radical

pulled the strings, are unworthy of

A perusal of the daily papers would
strengthen the suspicion which has
been growing in the minds of some of
US that Kipling voiced an eternal truth
in his poem, 'tThe Female of the
Species" First we read that one very
substantial woman by the name of
Mrs. HELEN Hubbard stood firm
against all arguments of her eleven
fellow jurors in her conviction that
Fatty Arbuckle was guilty. 1t is re-
ported that she not only held her
ground but converted two jurors dele
gated to persuade her to alter her
decision. Next we read that riot in
the Chicago stockyards, in which hun
dreds of men and women participated,
was led by, woman, Mrs. Annie
Sobryo. The women seem to be
perfectly capable of measuring up to
their opportunities. Possibly our
statesmen are acting none too quickly
in calling the disarmament confer
ence before their fair sisters become
interested in the arts Of war.

THE STATE SENATORSHIP.

Although it is rather early in the
season for gossip concerning the state
senatorship in this district, few ru-
mors have already been set afloat. 1t
has been reported Charles F. Serline OF
Mora, who has so ably represented the
55th district in the legislature, might
not again be a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the house. It hardly seems
probable that man OF Mr..
Serlinc's calibre who has made such a
splendid record during the last two
sessions Of the legislature can be con-
templating withdrawing altogether
from the political field. Those who
are in touch with the situation seem
to be of the opinion that Charley Ser
line HIS his eye on scat in the state
senate. One thing is certain Serllne
would be perfectly capable Of rep
resenting this district in the senate
and he would make a record in that
body that would reflect credit on his
constituents.
However only spcculations are rife
at this time and there may be other
prospective candidates in the field.
There has been no authentic statement
in regard to the position of the present
senator, Richard Hamcr. Senator
Hamer has made good record and
has tried to faithfully represent the
best interests of tlis district in all mat
ters. The people of Mile Laos county
will not soon forget the service he has
rendered them and large number of
voters will not pledge their support to
any candidate until they have ascer-
tanned just where Senator Hamer
stands.
w. j. Brown of Mora has been sug-
gested as another possible candidate.
Mr.. Brown seems to have quite a per-
sonal following and has good standing
in his homo community. However if
Kanabec county really wants the SEN
atorship, and deserves it as she seems
to think she does, it would be most
serious mistake for her to have two
candidates.
Possibly Sherburne county also has
senatorial timber which ma be avail
able. No rumors have been heard as
yet from that section of the district.

OUR CHRISTMAS EDITION.


Approximately 900 copies Of this
Christmas edition are being mailed to
our subscribers and others residing in
the vicinity of Princeton. This is the
second special edition which we have
published in the last five months,
thanks to the good support of the
merchants and other business men in
town. The first edition was issued for
the purpose of creating interest in our
county fair and: to give Mile Laos
county the good advertising that she
deserves. The 1921 fair was the best
ever produced in this county and more
interest was displayed in entering ex-
hibits than in any previous year. In
justice to our many friends who con-
tributed much to the success Of the
fair edition we wish to state that it
was undoubtedly an influential factor
in arousing general interest through
out the county.
This Christmas edition is being pub
lished to call the attention of the peo-
pie living in the vicinity of Princeton
to the fact that this village is one of
the best business towns in this section
of the state. No other town in the
state the size of Princeton can boast
of more first-class stores and bust
ness houses. Better bargains are not
to be found in any Of the larger towns
or cities than right here in the stores
of Princeton. In fact many articles
can be purchased at lower price in
our own business houses than in the
large establishments in St. Paul and
because the overhead ex-
pense is so much less in town of this
size.
To our readers we submit this
Christmas edition, hoping they will
carefully peruse it's contents. They
may rest assured the business house
that is progressive enough to support
an edition of this sort will have a dis
play of goods that it will be worth
their while to see when they are doing
their Christmas shopping.
