Senator Knute Nelson of Minnesota
viewing the industrial outlook with n
keen eye. says the time has come for
n showdownsbetween the government
and the railroad unions He notes with
regret that the railroad men are threat
ening strike because of the action
of the. railroad labor board in ordering
twelve per cent reduction in wages,
but declares that the strike may as
well come, as the matter has got to be
settled sooner or later and when it is
settled real prosperity will return. He
holds that the railroad unions are now
standing in the way Of returning bust
ness activity and that the issues in
yolved should be settled one way - The
other. We compel the railroad owners
to obey the DEGREES of the governmental
authorities and if we cannot corAp'i
organized labor to do likewise. 1t is

Omen Lecture Course.

The 1921 lecture course, under. the
auspices of the Chamber of Commerce,
was launched in the Methodist church
Thursday night when the Lieurance
S! mphony orchestra gave the opening
concert of the season. The audience,
smaller than that Of the usual lecture
course, was well pleased with the eve
n:ng's entertainment which, some said,
was worth the price of the entire sea-
son ticket.
The orchestra, under tho direction of
II. w. Anderson, was matlts up of seven
pieces, four yiolins, viola, cello and
piano. Vocal selections were by Miss
Violet Foulk, contralto.a'

Several articles have appeared in
the Des Moines Register of late, con-
tributed by anti-prohibitionists, repeat
ing the canard about prohibition being
responsible for reduced demand for
corn amounting to 500.000,O00 bushels
per year. This story is going the
rounds and very few prohihitiOnists
have undertaken to correct it. As a
matter of fact not more than 1OO,-
600 600 bushels of all kinds of grain
were ever used in a single year in the
manufacture of Intoxicating beverages
of all kinds in the United States. More
over, considerable percentage of grain
formerly used in the manufacture Of
malt and spurious liquors is still being
used in the making of variOus kinds
of liquors for legal purposes, as well
as in the manufacture Of near beer and
similar drinks, to say nothing OF the
cereals being used in the home-brew in
1ustry. If there are any prohibition
lists in Webster City who have any
Influence with the Register they ought
to write to that paper asking " TO give
the facts concerning the amount Of
grains used in the manufacture of vari-
Gus kinds of drinks before and since
the enactment Of the prohibitory
amendment.

there are Approximately 100000 more
horses and mules in the United States

If congress will find ways and means
to make corn worth about % cents a
bushel at local markets, freight rates
can stay where they are, wages can
remain high and manufactured goods
need not be reduced in price. The far
mers can and will buy if they can get
10 cents bushel for their corn and
equal comparative prices for other GER
eals. Remunerative prices for grains
would solve the financial situation i'll
short order. With corn and oats

LEGION IS OPPOSED !
TODULUTH MEMORIAL
WHILE VETS ARE IDLE

DULUTH, Mimi. Sept. 5.-Plans
for a $4,000 memorial to honor the
men and women who served their
country during the World war have
been temporarily abandoned by the
commissioners of st. Louis county, it
became known today, following vigor-
Gus representations of the American
Legion post of this city.
1t is no time to spend thousands of
dollars for commemorative monuments
when service men are walking the
streets, jobless and hungry, Elmer Nc
Devil. coach at Northwestern Univers-
ity and member of the executive COM
mittee of the Minnesota Legion, told
the commissioners.
Those to whom the memorial would
be dedicated prefer to wait for it until
their less fortunate comrades are TAX
en- care of, Mr.. McDevill said, adding
that he voiced the sentiment of the
legion of Duluth.
The commissioners likewise were
taken to task for deciding to erect a
memorial without consulting the serv-
ice men as to their views on the sub
ject. The memorial was to have been
in the nature of tablets with the
names of seSyice men and women in,
scribed on them.
