We want good, clean administra-

ignorance or Indifference permit those
practices that are unlawful. Such an
administration can be secured only
with the cooperation Of the majority
of the citizens, the responsibility rests
not only with the .councilmen.
During the next few years big op-
portunities will come to many villages
along the state trunk highways. We
want to see Princeton represented by
men who will be able to grasp any op-
portunities that may come her way.
After all the caliber of the men who
are to serve on our council should be
a matter Of interest to every voter in
this village. Let us get back Of these
men and give them the support they
deserve.

Leon Neely's Store in st. Paul Robbed

Leon Neely's Store in St. Paul Robbed.
Leon Nicely, a former Princeton boy,
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Nicely,
owns drug store on Smelling avenue,
near by Hamline University. The
robbery occurred last Friday evening
when Mr.. Nicely himself was not in
the store. The following account is
taken from the Minneapolis Tribune:
Miss Lillian Insande and J. l..
Kubicek, employed by Smelling ave.
nue. drug store in St. Paul, were held
up as they were leaving the building
last night and forced to stand with
their hands above their heads while
two armed men looted the cash regis
ter Of $45.
Willie the robbery was in progress,
according to Miss Insande, patrol
man passed the store, noted the time
on the drug store clock but did not
see the robbery.
The robbers walked out of the door,
entered a waiting automobile, almost
passing tao policeman as they went,

TO Japanese authorities the life of
an American does not appear to be of
much value. At any rate the Jap SEN
try who shot and killed Lieutenant
Langdon of the United States steamer
Albany at Valdivostok was acquitted
by court martial. Later, however,
he was sentenced to serve month in
Jail for making a false statement be-
fore the tribunal and short terms of
imprisonment were imposed on mill
tary officers for failing to train and
instruct him in his duties. From re-
ports at the time of the killing it was
gathered that the sentry shot Lieu
tenant Langdon without the least
provocation, and the fact that he was
acquitted of the deed when he should
doubtless have been sentenced to death
is matter in which the United States
government should enter protest and
demand justice in addition to none
tary compensation for the relatives
of the slain officer. 1t is time the Jap
government were compelled to desist
from it's high-handed methods.

Spelling is an important part of the
child's education, but let him or her
be taught in accordance with the
standard American dictionary-Web-
ster's. So-called reformed" spelling
is nothing more nor less than fad
conceived by coterie of cranks, but,
unfortunately, it has found it's way
into some of our public schools. It is
an injustice to the child, who will
some day have to go forth and earn
his living, to teach him to spell in an
incorrect manncr-''thot" for thought
''brot" for brought, etc. Supposing
for instance, the boy studies law. II
is unnecessary to state that no mon.
grcl photography would be permitted
in the drawing of legal instruments
Even daily papers, some of which have
peculiar styles, have not sunk to thu
depths of adopting mutilated spelling

Governor Frazier and Sturgeon
Odell, fiscal agent of the Bank of
North Dakota, are much cast down
over the realization of the fact that
the executive committee Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor emphatically
refused, as requested by these men, to
recommend the purchase of state
bonds by the members Of the organiza-
ton. The committee made it clear to
Frazier and Odell, who went to Wash
ington for the express purpose of
floating North Dakota bonds, that the
federation was not in the bond bust
ness and that purchase was outside
the field of the organizations activi-
ties. If individual members of the
federation wanted to invest their sur
plus money in North Dakota bonds,
said the committee, it was their bust
ness. Poor old North Dakota is in
bad straits and no one seems willing
to go to her relief.

In committing the sentences Of
,Mi11ie Steiner, LYMAN Lachowsky,
Jacob Abrams and Samuel Lipaman,
Russian reds convicted Of conspiracy
to violate the espionage act, from ten
to two and a half years, President
Wilson made provision that they be
deported at the expiration of their
terms of Imprisonment. Not at all a
bad decision, for we shall not have to
feed these human reptiles so long
they will have to run their chances of
support with the Russian bolsheviki,
whom, we hope, will decide that they
are not worth feeding and shoot them
during the dark of the moon or some
other old time.

THE INAUGURATION.

On March 4 Warren G. Harding be-
comes president of the United States
Of America. In taking his oath Of Of
flee Mr.. Harding assumes enormous
burdens, burdens so heavy and re-
sponsibilities so great that any man
might we'll shrink from assuming
them. Strong men however have a
taste for power and Warren G.. Hard
ing is undoubtedly strong man. He
may not be one of our biggest men,
that is yet to be demonstrated, but he
has at least shown himself to be a
man of good sized caliber. He is big
enough to wish to have in his cabinet
some. of the strongest men in this
country, and members of every party
should commend him for the sound
Judgment and fine patriotism which
prompted such selection.
Mr.. Harding is also to be commend
ed for insisting that the inauguration
this year be as simple as possible, de-
void OF all excessive pomp and cere-
mony. This is in exceedingly good
taste considering the almost indie
scribable poverty and suffering in the
world today. Considering the state of
President Wilson'S health it is also
fitting that the inaugural ceremonies
be simple. Woodrow Wilson is brok-
EN- man. He certainly is deserving of
the respect and sympathy of the
whole nation. Many of US were not
in harmony with his views, con-
demned his policies and think he was
sadly lacking in Judgment, but the
vast majority Of people believe he was
absolutely sincere and gave himself
unsparingly to- the service of his coun-
try.

The visiting and mail privileges of
Dcbs have been temporarily suspended
by the officials of the federal prison
at Atlanta as disciplinary measure
because Of vicious attack on Presi-
dent Wilson in newspaper interview.
Suspension of these privileges for an
infraction of rules is not, however,
unusual. If his words of attack on
the president resembled in any way
those attributed to him and published
in the dailies, it would seem that soil
tary confinement were, the proper
medicine for him.

BUY. BUT BUY WISELY.

In Canada they are preaching buy,
but buy wisely. This would be mi gh-
ty good slogan for America too. There
is plenty of money in the country,
just as much as there was last year,
but few months ago people COM
menced to draw in their money with
the intention of playing a safe and
sane game. During 1918, 1919 and
the early part of 1920 the American
people were spending recklessly but
in the last six months they have gone
to the other extreme, in many cases
forced by necessity to do so.
If the home merchants do not sell
their goods, the wholesalers will do
no business. If the wholesalers buy
no new stock, the factory wheels will
cease to whirl and we will have a
great army of unemployed to feed and
clothe at the expense of the public.
We want to see the retail merchants
the wholesalers and the factories busy
manufacturing and selling good,
staple articles. Then everyone will
be earning sufficient money to care
for himself providing he spends it
wisely, and there will be no hard times.
When your home merchants offer
articles you need at fair price, buy
and you will help make the wheels go
round. Do not wait forever for the
prices to drop. The merchants report
| that many articles arc as cheap now
as they will be for several months.
Buy, but buy wisely.

FARM BANK 70 OPERATE.
United States Supreme Court Holds
Federal Farm Loan Act.
Constitutional.

The United States supreme court
has declared the federal farm loan act
constitutional. The Federal Land
bank in St. Paul will be ready to
negotiate loans within 80 days ac-
cording to the announcement of P. A.
Preus, treasurer of the bank.
More than year ago Charles w.
Smith, treasurer Of the Kansas City
Title and Trust company, brought up
the question of the constitutionality
of the farm loan act in regard to the
exemption of the federal farm loan
bonds from taxation. While this ques-
ton was pending there was, of course,
no market for these 5 per cent bonds.
Now that the decision of the supreme
court has been rendered the Federal
Land banks will be ready to operate
with clean bill of health.
Mr.. Preus estimates that within
the next year there will be demands
for approximately $50,000,000 worth
Of loans but he believes they will be

The National Republican says a So
cialist organ in Paris declares that the
next thing on the docket of capitalism
is war between Japan and the United
States, which President Harding will
precipitate within a short time. Well,
socialist editor has to be seeing
something, and this is as good a night
mare for him to enjoy as any other.
It is probable that the editor of the
socialist organ alluded to is a ouija
board 6end. We have heard of others.

It is stated on apparently authentic
authority that Mr.. Harding intends,
metaphorically speaking, to cast a
monkey wrench in the executive ma
chinery of the government, or, in
other words, to thoroughly rcorganize
departments and bureaus in order to
pare down expenses. Any one who
has given thought to the extrava-
gance and wastefulness of the admin
istration knows full we'll that the op-
Grating expenses of the government
badly needs curtailment.

Argentina, since the retirement of
its delegation has had no contact
with the league Of nations and does
not know whether it is a member or
not, says President 1rigoyen in a
press interview. We would advise
that country to put forth no effort to
ascertain but to make sure thatHit re-
mains outside the ring. The league
of nations, as at present constituted,
is a delusion and a snare.
