It must be admitted that the unem-
ployment situation was impregnated
with grave possibilities three or four
months ago, but it looks much health
Ter now. At that time we were wor--
ried over the outlook. Four or five
million idle men, with families suffer-
ing for the necessities OF life and with
abundance of time to ponder over their
troubles, constitute a force which
warrants grave consideration. 1t re-
ceived such consideration Now, how
ever, the situation has changed. There
are far fewer idle men than there were
last July. Thousands of men who
could not find jobs then are finding
them now-they are going back to
work every day. There are, it is true,
a good many men yet to find employ
meht, but the problem is much less
acute. The chances are that idle men
will nearly all find work before real
winter sets in, although many of
them will have only part time work.

Another Cancer Theory.

DR.. H. A. Haubold in New York an
nounced that DR.. Franz Kopesch, Of
the University of Berlin, claimed to
have discovered that true cancer could
be produced, in frogs at least, by an
earth larva carried by angleworms
The discovery was made accidentally,
and later tests confirmed it, the scien-
fist said.
The discovery, if true, is another
step in the confirmation of a theory as
to cancer cause advanced in Europe
within the last year, DR.. E. T. Bell,
professor of pathology at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, said when the
New York dispatch was read to him.
But he saw in it little present help in
the cure of cancer.
European SCIENTISTS" said DR.. Bell,
"recently found that rats feeding on
cockroaches died of cancer and that a
small parasite carried by the cock
roach was possibly responsible. The
Berlin scientists angleworm discov-
cry tends to strengthen the possibili-
ty that cancer is caused by a minute
organism. I cannot see that either
discovery will be of any immediate as
sistance in developing a cure for can
GER"

"One of the fundamental differences
between Europeanism and American
ism," says the National Republican,
"is that in European countries parlia-
ments are split by lines of cleavage
representing sectional, occupational
and class distinction. Government by
groups representing the striving Of
minorities for special advantage at
the sacrifice of the general good is
violative of the fundamentals of
Americanism. The legislator who is
thinking Of the good of class, group
or section rather than of the general
welfare is hammering at the founda
tions Of true Americanism. In the
long run his efforts will serve to sacri-
flee rather than to promote the in
terest of the class he processes to
represent, for in this country, as Will
liam Mckinley once said, 1--WE all go
up or down together" This is a
lucid explanation we'll worth reproduce
ton.

Down in Lamberton, town in Red
wood county, which has for the past
three or four years been almost torn
.asunder by a fractional quarrel, they
are today reaping the harvest of their
folly. Just recently the failure of one
of the banks was followed by the clos
ing of one of the large general stores
and it is reported other failures are
imminent. The Thief River Falls
Tribune remarks that the town of
Lamberton "has just about gone to
pot because Of fierce factional row
which has ragged there for several
years." Now here is an object lesson
Tor some of US. A community that
VIII not only tolerate but will actually
support an individual or group of in
dividuals whose chief stock and trade
is the breeding Of strife and hatred,
can some day expect to pay the price
of its folly. Occasionally an unde-
sirable citizen with some following
gets grip on the business
houses in town by threatening to
boycott them if they make warfare on
him. May the good Lord strengthen
and support any Of the weaker breth-
rem who are tempted to succumb to
this argument. One of the most
'pitiable objects on the face of this
earth is the dollar coward, the man
who hesitates to say his soul is his
own for fear he might lose few dol
lars worth of business.

profess to ignore the obstruction, de-:
claring, "It is nothing; the Lord will
remove it, SO need not worry" That
is not his way either. He believes in
the invincibility Of progress-inter-
nationally, nationally, politically and
economically-and sets about finding
path through around or over the
obstacle or difficulty in a partial if not
complete way. He does not believer per-
lection can be attained, neither does,
he hold that mortal man is excused
from striving to effect measure OF
approach to it because of the difficult
ties intervening.

Last Of q Notable Quintet.

The death Of Thomas H. Galley of.
Princeton marks the passing Of the.
last Of a notable quintet Of pioneers
Of that village, who filled a big place
in that community and in the state.
They were Bob Dunn, father of the
Minnesota good roads law; editor, SEN
ator and state auditor; Charley Rines,
member of the old Minnesota First,
and leading business man; Judge
Keith, yankee lawyer with cool,
shrewd head and a warm heart, one
of the original members of the reform
atory board and who did so much to
give it the right start; Daniel Galley,
man of great ability, and who saw
the possibilities of Minnesota in it's
most youthful days, and who was as
ISOLATED, with his brother Thomas I'M
til his passing. In these days of
changing business, it is worth noting
that the hardware business established
by Galley Brothers So years ago is
still one of the leading concerns of
Princeton, and has great record for
fair dealing. =,
These men were all close friends,
red> blooded, loved joke, were loyal
to each other and to their home COM
munity, and welded a powerful in
fuence not only in central Minnesota
but throughout the state. Tom Galley
was the last to go, and he was a
worthy associate of some of the best
men who ever worked together for
the development of Minnesota. He
was brave soldier, good citizen
and a splendid gentleman.-St Cloud
Journal-Press.

THESE SPEED ARTISTS

Just this past week the Union Of
fee was visited by party OF mo-
florists who it appears were somewhat
irritated by the fact that they had
been fined for violating the state
speed laws on the Scenic highway.
According to the statutes of Mime
sofa, any motorist who is driving on
the highways at a rate of speed to
exceed rs miles per hour is liable to
arrest. We understand that the Of
fcer who is patrolling the Scenic high
way in the vicinity Of Princeton has
been instructed to arrest no one for
speeding who is not driving more than
35 miles per hour, 10 miles being
thrown in for good measure since the
road is open and never congested with
traffic.
Now any motorist who insists on
driving at As or rs miles per hour
should charter a race track and there
perform his hair-raising feats. He
would then be in danger of manning
or killing himself only, and if he
thinks the game is worth the candle
we presume he should have the privi
lege Of playing it to the limit.
The great body of taxpayers who
furnish the funds for constructing and
maintaining such roads as the Scenic
highway do not intend to spend their
money for speed artists only. Our
highways should be safe for sane
drivers Of any vehicle, be it driven by
gasoline or drawn by horses or oxen.
The school children, who in the rural
districts must of necessity travel the
highways, should not be in danger of
being run down by some fool who is
testing the speed limit of his car
Motorists who must race along. at
rate Of SIS or rs miles per hour should
plan to avoid Princeton. They are of
no benefit to us when they go tearing
through the country at that rate-all
we then get from them is their dust
and we don't care for that.

Governor Preus has been filling a
few speaking dates in North Dakota
during the past week. We venture to
state that the Independent Voters as
ISOLATION will not have more con-
vincing speaker on any platform than
j. A. o. Preus. Of course Governor
Preus is only human and like the rest
OF US may have his faults, but even
his enemies must admit that he is a
real man. He has that clean, cold
nerve that is essential for any man
who is to wage successful, square
fight and no one ever finds him side
stepping on any proposition.

C. w. Marshall, Minneapolis hor

C. w. Marshall, a Minneapolis hor-
ticulturist has succeeded in produc-
ing, according to en- Associated Press
dispatch, seedless watermelons and
muskmelons. Why not? We have
seedless oranges and there seems no
reason why melons, apples, grapes,
etc., cannot be rendered seedless. In
fact the time may come when the skill
Of the horticulturist gives US even
coreless apples and pears. But the
trouble is that if we monkey too much
in this direction We may find that
eventually we shall have nothing
wherewith to propagate the various
species.

The soviet government announces

the soviet, can be carried by the Rus

this fleet will carry it and that the
soviet government will pay for it in
stead of calling upon America to
furnish and deliver it gratis.

HARD SURFACE NEEDED.

The grading on the Zimmerman
Elk River road will soon be completed
and the weakest link in the highway
connecting Princeton and the lake
country with the twin cities will have
been strengthened. The construction
companies that have been building
this road have apparently done good
work and the new, broad, straight
highway will be:5a great Improvement
over the old narrow, winding road.
However anyone who is familiar
with conditions in this section Of the
country knows that the road which is
now being completed is not finished
product. A gravel-surfaced road with
sand bottom will never stand up
under the traffic to which the Scenic
hig hway is subjected, at least not
with Minnesota's climatic conditions.
While many drivers prefer a good
gravel surface to any other surface,
past experience indicates that such a
road built on sand foundation can
not be maintained in good condition
even 10 months of the year.
The Scenic highway should certain
ly be paved from Elk River to the
clay belt north of Princeton just as
soon as the road bed is in condition
for the hard surface. The engineers
seem to think it will not be safe to
lay this pavement until 1923. Prince
ton has not good road running east
and west but she does want to have
the Scenic highway passablc during IL
months of the year.

A Boost for Brother Daniels (?)

ers in the recall campaign, the re-
doubtable c. C. Daniels, brother of
the secretary of the navy" Detroit
and Becker county people we'll remem-
Der this estimable and somewhat er-
ratio gentleman during the time he
was in charge of White Earth reser-
walton land Matters It will also be
remembered that "the brother of the
secretary of the navy" made a sorry
mess of his work here and was sum-
marily recalled and ineally shelved by
the Wilson administration. Just what
information, if any, &C. Daniels can
convey to the intelligent people of our
neighboring state is beyond the COM
prehension Of those here who had OPP
portunity to learn his limitations a
few years ago.-Detroit Record.

Both Are Needed.
AS long as the earth has been in
and harvest. Men have toiled from
the beginning in order that they might
live, and that toll has sheen truly hon.
orable. In fact all labor is honorable.
The man who works with his two
hands is as worthy of honor and re-
spect as is the man who lives by his
brain.> Capital and labor have so
much in common that they cannot af-
ford to quarrel. Each is a partner in
the worlds business and one could not
thrive without the other. Without
great combinations of capital no rail-
roads could be built and no steamships
could traverse the seven seas:> With
out capital We could have none of our
modern advantages and life would be
reduced to it's most simple elements.
And the same applies to labor. With
out LABOR capital would be helpless
tied hand and foot and bound to the
cross of fanaticism. What is needed
today in this world is a better under
standing between the capitalist and
tile laborer and fewer men who try to
exc out living BY striving to set one
against the other. Every strike
weakens the whole life of the nation.
Every time a. preacher of hatred and
discomfort has his way the candle of
civilization burns little lower. What
we want is more apostles of harmony
and fewer tanners of preJudice.-Win-
