the State Capitol in St. Paul.
Friday. October 7th. at which
Minnesota's part in the Great
Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway
route will be discussed and it's
realization planned.

Lawrence river to the ocean mar
kets of the world, the last legis-

to investigate and urge it's necas-

mission, which consists of A. H.
Comstock Of Duluth. J.L. Record
Of Minneapolis, and A. O. Mo-
r3aux of Luverne, was lately
named by Gov. Preus and in CON
junction with the chief executive
has been actively engaged in
interesting the people generally
and preparing Minnesota's brief
for presentation to the Natior al
Congress. 1t is likely that
Congress will consider legislation
committing the United Stat to
the project some time in
December.
The new waterway as planned,
and which has been declared
feasible by engineers Of note, is
considered of Importance to the
Northwest, as it means not only
added transportation facilities,
but lower transportation rates
and consequently increased pro-

Gang Rule Deplorabhs.

From the manner in which a
large number Of Ku klux klans-
men behaved themselves down in
Texas the other day it would APP
pear that they are not much bet
ter than bunch Of outlaws.
They insisted on staging pa
rade clad in their uniforms and
did 50 against the orders OF the
sheriff who wanted them identi-
fed before parading. The sheriff
and his posse encountered
trouble when they endeavored to
stop the paraders coming down
the street and as a result several
persons were shot or stabbed,
among the wounded being the
sheriff.
Where is this lawlessness lead
ing us to-? And those klansmen
have the nerve to call themselves
100 per cent Americans (Should
be 100 per cent bull dogs, for il
appears that their brains are not
much above that class of ami.
mals). Yes. and not to forget.
they paraded with the American
flag at the head. This 100 per
cent Americanism has been used
so much that good citizen al
most feels shy about altering
that phrase. Furthermore when
members Of the Ku klux Khan
and their like will call them
selves 100 per centers others do
not want to be called that.
When any gang Of men set out
TO take the law into their own

down in Texas who did his duty
is a hero and those Klansmen are
a bunch of towards even though
they did get away with the
American flag still at the head
and not dragged in dust--for
which they were praised by
some.
If gang rule is permitted who
knows but what you are next.
Look what happened up in Du-
luth last year when they strung
several Negroes to telephone
pole right on the main business
thoroughfare. Dsgraceful!

a local self nature are arrayed in
opposition and such must be
overcome. 1t is for this reason
that Governor Preus urgently
requests cooperation on the part
of every one benefited.
The date of the conference is
the day before the opening of the
National Dairy show and those
attending the 1idewater meet
will have the opportunity. of
attending both gatherings at the
same time. The project means
much to Minnesota and the help
of every one is desired.
Nationally known speakers will
be present.

Minnesota law makers when
they gather next year will be
confronted with a new moral
issue, the growing number of
public dance halls in the state
and the evils attending such.
Quoting a travelling man, dance
halls of pretentious size and
equipment are to be found in a
large number of country districts
and they are nightly thronged
with young people. These dance
halls seem to have sprung up
with the passing of the saloon
and while liquor is absent. the
ever ready bootlegger is to be
found near by. In the cities the
growth of the public dance hall
is phenomenal.

common speech of many very
good people who would be seri-
ously offended if one should ac-
cuse them of telling an untruth.
One of our exchanges gives the
following incident illustrative of
this fault.
Two young girls full Of the Vi
vacity and heedlessness of youth,
meet in a street car. They greet
ed each other with real school
girl effusiveness, and one said to
the other:
II never was so glad to see any
one in my lifer
And I've just been dying to
see you!" was the reply from the
brilliant and blooming girl, who
was certainly in the full flush of
health at that moment.
How do you do, any how?'
"Oh, I've a perfectly fearful
coldl'
Il nearly died with one last
week"
i've nearly coughed and sneez-
ed my head Off,
Il know. 1t makes one feel so
perfectly wretched. Mamma has

hospital at our house. Isn't it
horribly cold today?"
Fearful! | thought | should
perish before the car came
along"
my feet are exactly like Jumps

they'll ever be warm again."
And only two weeks ago it
was so horribly warm for the
time of the year,

I'd give the world to see her.
How frightfully slow this car is

so could |. hate to drag

And so the conversation ran
on. each girl telling what was
certainly untrue every time she
spoke. It is not asserting too
much to say that such exaggera-
tions are unbecoming to the
Christian character. and if for
every idle word that men shall
speak. they shall give account
thereof in the day Of judgment. "
what reckoning there will be
for those who are thus needless
in their common speech. Pres.
