Only in Minnesota.

Only in Minnesota.
The strike effects the stockyards
at Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, AL
ber Lea. Sioux City, South st. Paul
and other points. The troops have
been ordered out only in Minnesota
and by governor who Is strutting
about the country when he should
be at home and on the job.
There has been no violence at South
ST Paul. There was not even fear of
violence. The men are. too we'll
drilled for that. They have. it is
true, done their level best to prevent
strikebreakers from going to work,
but that is a part Of strike strategy.
The powers that be" hold such to
be unlawful, and besause they do
hold it unlawful the military arm Of
the state government is being used
against the strikers.
How Troops Are Used.
The presence of the troops in the
strike zone is not the thing labor pro-
tests. Better the state militia than
state constabulary. 1t is the use to
which the governor and the officers
Of the troops lend the employers that
iutant general OF the Minnesota mill
tia making his headquarters in the
general offices Of the packers. That
fact in itself creates distrust and
suspicion. 1t indicates that the power
Of the state is being used to assist the
packers and to defeat the workers.
Now that is not the function of the
police or of the militia as we under
stand it. a number Of years ago in
Colorado, a Populist governor named
Waite was askeds for the troops4'to
break a strike Of miners. He didn't
want to assume the responsibility Of
possible destruction Of property Or
loss OF life there, so lie called out the
troops. placed himself. at their bead
and went to the scene of the strike.
For the first, and we think the only
time, in recent industrial history a
state militia unheld the most sacred
traditions of the law. No favors
were shown and no favorites were
played. The rights of the mon on
strike were held as inviable as the
rights Of property. Both sides were
given a square deal, no more and no
less The strike was soon settled, and
justice prevailed.
How johnson Did It,
When John A. Johnson was COVER
nor Of Minnesota he was asked to
send troops to the iron ranges during
a strike. He sent a commission to
investigate. It's members divided,
one of them recommending troops
and another ..ivising against it. Gov
ernOr Johnson then went to the scene
OF the strike himself. He talked with
strike leaders and with the mine own
ers. He observed the character Of
picketing that was going on and found
the streets of Hibbing and other range
towns as quite as tho: of his home
town in St. Peter. No troops were
sent and Governor Johnson's course

Tariff History.

ASAAAA AAA0VSAJs
In the face of easily ascertainable
facts, some queer statements about
tariff history continue to do duty.
Take this: The Payne-Aldrich law
Of 1909 was the cause Of the repub.
lican defeat In 1912. On the contrary,
it did not enter into the equation. It
had cost the republicans the House in
1910, but the party split in 1912, which
let the opposition in, had nothing to
do with the tariff. Taft and Roosevelt
were both protectionists. and had
fallen out over another matter. Their
combined votes exceeded by q large
majority the votes cast for Mr.. WI.
son.
Take this, from q statement Of the
minority of the ways and means com.
mittee about the Fordney bill:
ut IL false to say that the majority
were commissioned by the people at
The tariff was not an issue in
the 1920 campaign. The people did not
believe they were voting for , change
in the tariff"
No? But the platform upon which
Mr.. Harding and the present Congress
were elected reafnrmed the republican
faith in protection. and pledged re-
vision Of the Underwood law on pro
lection lines.
It may be true that the large num-
ber Of democrats who voted tho re-
publican ticket last year had IN mind

up traffic. Yesterday one of the big
mogul locomotives was spun past the
numbering old machine. just to give an
Illustration Of the difference in pace.
This modern engine Is longer than the
entire train Of 1881.
Those who foresaw the opening Of
the west by means Of the railroad
were not quite justified. The railroad
followed the pioneer. 1t was not until
long after the prairie schooner had
rumbled its way across the plains and
over the mountains and through the
deserts of the west that the steam
horse" made its appearance there.
The trails had been established years
before the rails were laid. Had the
opening of the west waited on the rail-
roads the history Of the United States
would have been considerably dif-
ferent.
But the railroads have played an
extraordinary part in the development
Of the country. They have made pos
sible this great Union Of forty-eight
states with closely allied interests,
with intimate communication. with a
constantly improving understanding
and with free intercourse. They have
caused the growth OF an industrial
prosperity unparalleled in the world.
They have permitted the exploitation
OF American resources with great
profit to the people. They have been
the means of transmitting intelligence
by the spread Of printed matter over
an enormous area.
The sharp contrast between the
De Witt Clinton of 1881 and the mogul
locomotive Of today is an inspiring ex-
ample Of this development. In the
National Museum in this city is a relic
Of those pioneer railroad days, the
John Bull" engine. 1t would be well.
perhaps, some day to fire it up and set
it in motion through the streets Of the
capital-if a proper gauge could be
found-and thus give an illustration
Of the means Of transport of nearly a
century ago, hailed by the people Of
that time as phenomenal.

on the Mohawk and Hudson River
railroad, the first line in the state Of
New York. This machine, the De Witt

The Size Of the Job.

he predicts an early recovery. This

Terrible Suffering in Russia.

Reports from Russia regarding the
conditions Of people are of kind to
arouse the most profound sympathy.
Cholera is raging in some sections at
an appalling rate, and without any
organized efforts to check it. The sea-
son has been extremely dry and the
earth is parched and cracked, the
wells and rivers drying. The crops
have been practically ruined over i'm
mense areas and. according to a late
report, it is estimated that no less
than 100000 people are on the
verge Of starvation. They are de-
scribed as subsisting mainly on moss,
grass and the bark Of trees. All cat
tie has been slaughtered in the
stricken districts to provide food.
Refugees are flocking into Moscow
and Petrograd, already crowded to
economic limits. A state Of panic
appears to be prevailing. And the
government is helpless Only through
outside agencies can aid be given to
the stricken people.
In this catastrophe the Russian peo-
pie have the profound sympathy Of the
western world. But how can it be
expressed? Relief work cannot be
undertaken on a commensurate scale
because of the political situation. The
Russian governpent is not trusted and
cannot safely be recognized. Without
doubt the soviet at Moscow would be
glad to have the United States or
other powers ask permission to con-
duct relief work, for that would in.
volve a measure of recognition.
Even If It were not for the political
obstacle the relief Of the famine and
cholera sufferers in Russia would be a
task of extraordinary difficulty. Trans
portatfon has broken down to a point
where 1t would be almost impossible
to get supplies from the ports into
the stricken regions. 1t would be
necessary to accompany relief workers
with military guards to prevent them
from being overwhelmed and the sup.
plies wasted. This would constitute,
in fact, the military occupation of
Russia, the consequences Of which
cannot be measured.
These horrible conditions in Russia
are the result Of the Generalization
incident to the breakdown Of govern.
ment and the substitution Of soviet
rufas Probably Russia would have
suffesed both from disease and famine
in any conditions, but not so hope
lessly as ~..h the entire political or
ganization disrupted and controlled by
a handful Of fanatical theorists.

Army Team Play.

Gen. Pershing. in the order issued
yesterday to corps area and depart
ment commanders anent the need for
unqualified harmony and cooperation
between the regular Army, the Ma
tional Guard and the organized re-
serve, demonstrates the quality Of ad-
ministrative leadership 70 vital to
peace-time organization for the defense
Of the nation. Aware of the fact that,
in the final analysis, he as chief OF
staff is responsible for the success of
a great national undertaking and
achieved only through the engendering
Of that psychological enthusiasm
know in military parlance as morale"
the general enters upon the task be-
fore him with the determination to
build national defense upon a firm
and sure foundation. Certain old and
shaky timbers in the structure placed
in his hands must be torn out and re-
placed by solid supports. And the
general goes at the task with the d.
rectness and courage Of a great SOL
dier, confident Of success.
AS the order in question implies,
there has not been. in the past. that
degree of friendly cooperation be-
tween the Regular Army and the nom
regulars essential to full efficiency in
the military organization Of the coun
try Regulars, conscious Of the in
evitable fact that they know the game
Of war better than "part-time" SOL
diers. have evidenced a tendency to
sneer at non-regulars. The latter,
smarting under Sights real or imag-
ined, have drawn apart unto them
selves. Jealousies, antagonisms,
rivalries have been planted and cul-
tivated. 1t is an unhappy yet withal
a true fact that the great effort Of the
nation in the world war was. by virtue
Of the resulting condition, less great
than it might otherwise have been.
Gen. Pershing. recognizing that fact
and knowing that, when all is said
and done, the security Of the nation
depends more upon the development
Of an efficient reserve to the perma-
nent establishment than upon any
other single factor, is determined to
purge the Army Of this serious COM
plaint. There can be no doubt but
that, when he shall have done so;
when regular and non-regular shall
work together in mutual and unquali-
fed harmony, and when efficient team
play" shall not be lost through ill-con-
sidered partiality or bias, he will have
rendered service to. the nation
