RAILROADS BROUGHT
INTO CONSPIRACY
Finally master stroke of destruc-
tion was attempted against the farmer
company. On a day when the Equity
had 70 carloads of grain on track in
Minneapolis, a letter was received
simultaneously from the principal
railroads stating that they would not
allow their cars to carry grain out of
Minneapolis over any other road than
their own. AS the Equity was shut out
= Of the Minneapolis market by the boy
colt, this meant, for instance, that if
the Equity had market at some point
on the Milwaukee for car of grain
arriving over the 500 or Northern
Pacific, this grain would have to be
transferred from the 500 or Northern
Pacific car to Milwaukee car. It
also meant extra switching charges,
elevator charges(for service, and de-
lay. But it meant something still
more sinister, which was quickly dis
covered It meant that not a single
elevator in Minneapolis would transfer
a car of grain for the Equity, for when
the company SOU ght to comply with
this weird order of the railroads, it
found the terminal elevators Johnny
on-the-spot with gleeful "No!"
In this dire emergency the Equity
appealed to Senator La Toilette by
telegram. La Toilette acted Com
missioner Marble of the Interstate
commerce commission wired the rail-
roads and the orders were simultane-
ously rescinded, never again to be re-
peated. The Equity was saved.
Greater success attended chamber
of commerce efforts at preventing the
farmer company from securing finance.
Through its powerful banking connec-
tions in Minneapolis it was able to
prevent many country banks that
wanted to be friendly and helpful from
assisting, and this caused the Equity,
in August, 1914,to move to St. Paul.
But on top of other outrages of the
grain trade against the farmers, sew
eral lawsuits were started against the
Equity or those connected with it.
The worst lawsuit of all was one
started by chamber of commerce in

Dinner Stories

Senator Boies Penrose takes delight
in telling the story OF the Office holder
who evidently thought he had earned
his rest.
Il hear you've got government job
now?" this man was asked.
That's what" he answered gaily.
The first man gave an envious sigh
and asked:
rs it hard work."
Not after you get it," was the
reply.
A man in Kentucky once dropped
across a mold negro, who was fishing
with rod and line in a pool of water
in the middle of the road.
He approached him and said: you
won't catch any fish there, Jake

This Hero Wants Action

After cumming his way from Chicago to
Washington on freight trains, Frank F. Kostak,
winner of four medals in the World war, hopes
to be able to cut enough red tape to get action
his claim for compensation filed year ago.
When he arrived in Washington, Kostak had
eaten nothing for two days. The American
legion post is taking care of him while the gov
eminent department acts on his case.
Kostaks case is an illustration of why some
veterans are losing patience. Here is veteran
who took machine gun nest of Germans single
handed and marched back with seven prisoners.
few years ago he was acclaimed one of our
heroes. Now he buns his way to Washington
on freight trains goes without food for two days,
to tell the government that he has been i'll and
unable to work for year.
The men responsible for the delay in the
handling of compensation claims, which compels
men to go hungry and endure pain and misery.
are storing up for themselves an accumulation of
wrath that will burst with relentless fury.
There may be well defined and honest diff
ference of opinion on the merits of the bonus
measure for all veterans of the World war, but
there is unanimity of public opinion on the JUS
tice of providing relief for the disabled, blind
and crippled soldiers of the war.
The nation is disguised with reading the
reports of the privations which the men are
enduring. They were sent to France with the
assurance of obtaining hospital relief and COM
pensation for disabilities incurred in the line Of
duty. Some of them are suffering greater agony
at home than they did on the battlefields Of
Europe.

Ku Klux Khan

There isano place in the American common
wealth for a. Ku Klux Khan, irrespective of the
claims of it's leaders and their assurances that
the organization is law abiding.
The regularly established methods of govern
ing local conditions should suffice for law en-
forcement in any community, without the need
of a self-appointed organization purporting to
see that justice is enforced.
The Ku Kux Kan movement is not in har-
mony with theS best ideas of American thought
and institutional development. 1t tends to break
down respect for the law and for the enforce
ment of the statutes by the regularly appointed
officers of the law.
Instead of helping officers in the enforce
ment of the law, it suggests the propriety of
men taking the law into their own hands occa-
sionally to see that justice is enforced
This element alone is enough to prejudice
most Americans against participation in the or
ganization and its activities.
If there are obnoxious persons in commun-
ity, their presence must be tolerated so long as
their actions are within the law. If they become
law volators, it is the duty of the police officers

POET TO cYNIC.


You rail, proud cynic, at the songs
we sing;
You say the world cares nothing for
our lays,
Reserving for old Omar all your
praise.
That may be true. But. when the
Winters sting
At last is tanned, and when the joyous
Spring
Returns to earth, long desolate and
cold,
And bids the lilies, bursting from the
mold,
Proclaim that Beauty lives-then DO
you fling
Your heartless jibes at those who hear
the song,
Who see the CLEAN, who trust the
springtime hope?
Let those who will, in faithless silence
grope-
And let those sing whose hearts with
faith are Strong. T. Z. Y.
