Whatever our views may be as to the
necessity and de-i.ability of continuing
the grand jury system, we should view
with alarm the encroacErent of the
judiciary upon the law-making body Of
the state. 1t is not the province of the
Judiciary to say when indictments for
criminal offenses must be fornd by
grand jury or not. 1t night be asked
where they found any thing in the
amendment to the constitution which
authorizes fixing the liirit arbitrarily
at offenses liable to ten years punish
ment.. We have suffered enough al
ready from the ASSUMED autocratic
powers Of the Supreare Courts, national
and state, in declaring unconstitutional
laws which Congress and the Legislatures
had. declared should be the law of the
land. Not satisfied with such vast
powers, our Supreme Court goes one
step farther and puts law on our
stat.tes that is not there and has not
been enacted by tie legislative branch
of the State. It is high tine to call a
haet and take away from the judiciary
some of their autocratic and Czaristic
powers which they now assert and have
simply ab-ogated to themselves. ~a"

A Slow Process.

History is full of tales of desperate
chances which succeeded because some
man was not afraid to lead. In America
today exists chance, far from desperate
and but waiting great leader who will
point tie way. Who will he be?
The press is full Of remedies" for the
industrial unrest which results in strikes
and lockouts. Editorial after editorial
explains that allthat is needed is fuller
understanding between capital and labor;
q mutual forbearance, a playing each into
the others hand, a cooperation between
them for their mutual advantage.
All, it is explained, which is needed is
for some great corporation to lead the
way and treat labor as something to be
considered, consulted, profted, and
helped, or some great body of labor to
lead the way and, instead Of seeing how
much they may exact from an employer
for the least work, to try the other scheme
and see how much they can do ia given
time to profit the employer and let the
wages depend not on organization and
threats, but upon the work done and the
spirit of cooperation.
That's all! But as yet the leader does
not appear. No great corp oration as
yet fails to get the best of the bargain if
it can when making terms with labor.
No labor organization as yet has consi-
dered tie employing inte est before it's
own. And if you ask why, the answer is
plain; because :ren are selfsa, because
men distrust each other, bet ause exper-
ience has proved to each that neither is
wholly to be trusted.
Then the arsve', the real answer is
an medication Of sIi it of unselfshness,
and a spirit of trust; In otEer words, all
these who stand in church and admit the
Fatherhood of God, must stand in fac
tory, at bench, beside desk, in bank,
on farm, railroad, and in mines, and
practice the Brotherhood of Man. Then,
and not until then, will the leader arise
who will make capital and labor truly
fraternal instead of opponents.

Those who hoped against hope that
Congress might override the President S
veto of the soldier bonus bill had rude
awakening, when the friends OF the bill
failed to rally the necessary two-thirds
in the Senate to make it law without
the Presidents signature. Those versed
in the political game knew from the
moment the bill was introduced that it
would fail of passage. The invisible
government, centered in Wall Street,
had decided that the bill should not pass
and that simply settled it. AS part Of
the political game it was decreed that
the House should pass the measure by
an overwhelming vote, SO that none of
the Representatives would by an adverse
vote have incurred the enmity and op-
position of the ex-service men and their
friends. In the Senate conditions were
different. Quite number Of Senators
are not up for election this fall and they
could be depended upon to do the bid ling
Of the Wall Street gang and they did.
Under the arran Ell ent Senator Knute
Nelson voted to uphold the veto of the
President and Kellogg voted to override
it. If Nelson was up for election this
fall instead of Kellog then the votes
of our two Senators would have beer re-
versed. Kellogg now has a chance to
appeal for the soldier vote and will un-
doubtedly get it, unless the eX-service
men are sufficiently wise to see thru this
political game.

Don't Forget. The Facts.

Alarmed lest his vote to seat Truman
NeWberry as United States Senator from
the State Of Michigan may cost him his
election, friends of Frank B. Kellogg are
using every means and method at the
command of clever and INSCRIPTIONS
politicians to excuse Kellogg's vote and
make it appear that vote for Newberry
was highly justified. The latest to rush
to the defense of Frank B. Kellogg is
Senator Knute Nelson, senior Senator
from the State In letter to Alvah
Eastman, of St. Cloud, Nelson tries to
befuddle the issue and uses the whitewash
brush quite effectively. His letter has
been sent broadcast to the Country Press
and has been given publicly in most Of
the country newspapers Of the state.
To prove that this is political move,
pure and simple, it need be only men
toned that the reactionar;es back of
Kellogg's campaign took the trouble to
have this letter translated into the Ger
man language when there are practically
only five German newspapers published
in the state. 49,.
The voters should not be misled by
these campaign methods. They should
always remember the facts before they
choose between Kellogg and Shipstead
next November. The facts in the New
berry else are practically as follows:
5ts,.1-Newberry was indicted by Mi
chigan jury composed Of II republicans
and democrat, and was convicted and
sentenced to the penitentiary by re-
publican judge. r Ys..
2-An expenditure Of $26s, 900 was
proved against Newberry, and Richard
Fletcher, auditor general Of Michigan
ana strong Newberry Lieutenant, ad-
mittefah Expenditure Of $8OO0O0.
y-Many Of the campaign contribu-
tors were traced to Newberry's Rlatives
and only $4,000 to other sources!
1T was proved that Newberry per-
sonally directed the campaign and cam
paign expenditures.
5-Newberry refused to go on the wit
ness stand in his own defense and his
side put no evidence whatever before the
committee.

aienated their affections in pre-war
.years.) The Bondels, it seems, own
dogs which they use not only for herding
their f1ocks but for hunting game. Their
new British protectors saw that by the
aid Of their dogs the Bondels were able to
Sustain life with little labor. They there
fore estab ab}ished a dog tax, rising in amount
Ito f10 on five dogs. Quite obviously
this was clever thing to do: either the
Bondels would have to get rid OF their
dogs and earn their living by sweat like
honest wage-slaves, or they would pay
a tax larger thanany European govern
nent would dare to lay on its workers.
But the ,Bondels did neither they kept
their dogs, and, as their protectors knew
before they levied dsits they were unable
to come anywhere near paying The tax.
Rightcously outraged by this example
of native obstinacy and disobedience the
South African Government sent air
planes and bombs and blew to pieces
|some eighty OF a hundred men and women
and babies of the Bcndel tribe. Then
they sent the League of Nations modest
report of their stewardship which was
duly filed but h3t read. And that would
have been the end Of it, except that a
delegate from the Republic Of Haiti at
the recent meeting of the Assembly got
up and told the members Of the League
all about it with enough vivid detail t.
send them to the file Of reports to look
the matter up, and to induce the Neac
York Times correspondent to send a
humorous account of the incident to his
paper. And that, as far as we know, is
the end of it. At any rate the mandate
still rests in the hands of the British,
who have supplanted the unkind Ger
mans in Southwest Africa, and eighty
or hundred people are dead, and
those who are left have doubtless killed
their dogs and gone to work for white
men. And the world is still safe, abso-
lutely safe, fer imperialism. Tie Nation.

WHO'S WHO IN THE POLITICAL
RACE.

The candidates for office at the coming
election are beginning to recall them
selves to the voter for his consideration
and number of their political adver-
tisements appear in this issue Of the
Resiew. Others will be added from
time to time, we presume, but a few
words here on. those who have already
made their appeal to the public in our
columns, will not be amiss.
, Atty. A. G. Dolliff Of Redwood Falls
is asking for election as State Senator.
He is opposing Frank +. Romberg Of
Sleepy Eye, Tie present incumbent
He is known asa man Of good principles
and one who has opinions Of his own
which he is not.afraid to express.
y Frank F. Romberg Of Sleepy Eye is.
asking reelection as State Senator for
Brown and Redwood Counties. Mr..
Romberg has made a good record for
himself during his one term Of Office
and in our opinion deserves the endorse
ment of his constituents.
Louis Spelbrink of Milford, candidate
for reelection as representative for
Brown County has also made a record
for himself for straightforward dealing
and his constituents can do no better
than endorse his candidacy.
w. T. Eckstein, County Attorney,
is asking for election to the Office which
he now holds by appointment. Since
Mr.. Eckstein's appointment to fill the
unexpired tenn of Ad. Frederickson, he
has given his entire time to the conduct
of county legal affairs. He has succeeded
in securing several convictions Of motor
ious characters and has otherwise made
satisfactory official.
VIM. F. Smasal of Sleepy Eye, can
didate for Register of Deeds, opposing
Fred Christensen, the present incumb-
ent. Mr.. Smasal is a former New Ulm
boy and his mother still lives here. He
is making quite a strenuous campaign
and it is said that he will pull a consider
able vote in spite Of the popularity Of his
opponent.
Miss Flora Spelhink returned on
Friday from Minneapolis where she
visited for a week with relatives and
friends.
Bernhard Marschner of this city is
attending the National encamrmert o1
the G. A. r. which is being held at Des
Moines, Iowa this week.
Robert Henle of Virginia spent TIE
weekend visiting at tie hcme Of his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Athanhs Henle
on North State street.
The Congregationalists Of Tyler are
preparing to dedicate their new church
building Friday, October 8. Rev. E. F

The political aspirants are getting busy

now and they may be seen on every
hand, smilingly greeting every one who
comes their way. 1t is time for the voter
to sit down and take counsel with him
self as to how he is gong to cast his
vote this fall. If you wait until elec.
tion day you will not have really decided
who deserves your support and there
will be no rhyme or reason in the way
you mark up your ballots. 1t may not
seem to matter very much who gets one
Office or the. other but this idea leads
to all the bad government that we have
The voter has got to do his own thinking
or the man he helps to elect to Office will
do it for him in way he doesn't like.
This is we'll shown in the tariff bill the
Republicans have enacted. A couple
Of years ago the voter decided he was
tired of Wilson and the Democratic
regime. Without doing any thinking
he cast vote for the Republican can
didates, forgetting that the Republican
party had never delivered the goods
either. The immense dissatisfaction
that exists in the country at this time
is good sign for it shows that the voter
is beginning to wake up. He now be-
gins to realize that neither one of the
old line parties has the interest of the
voter at heart. All that either of them
is after is to get into the saddle and
stick there as long as possible. It's
time the whole outfit were turned out,
and then if the progressives can do no
better, at least they can do no worse,
and they can be turned out when the
next elections come around. Look over
the progressive candidates weigh. their
qualifications as honest, upright men of
ability, and give them your vote if you
can do so honestly. If you cannot do
that, and yet are convinced that the
Republicans and the Democrats do not
deserve your support, then don't vote
for them either. Don't waste your vote
on candidate who does not deserve it,
even if you don't know anyone who
does. No vote at all is better than a
vote for a bad candidate for by with
holding your support when you cannot
honestly give it, you will at least register
your honest opinion. If enuf voters
would do this it would not be long before
tie politicians would get wise to tie
fact that their course of action lacks the
support it should have and then there
would be some chance Of getting more
intelligent representation in the law
making bodies of the land. So long as
you, Mr.. Voter, (or Mrs. Voter cast a
vote for the man who has not properly
safe guarded your interests and that of
the country in which you live, just so
long will you get just what you have
coming to you in the way Of rotten legis-
lation. When you begin to think,
and when you take the trouble not to
vote when you can not honestly support
any Of the candidates, just that soon
will there be some chance Of a change
lin the way things are managed by the
politicians.

er tbs during: the war by paying sums
ranging from $10O to $3, 900.
The fact that these facts were common
property brought out in the trials and
Investigations before Newberry was
seated makes Senator Kellogg's offense
in voting to seat .Newberry altogether
objectionable.

We all see. But we do not all see
clearly. When we see an evil, we often
say, "let us pass law against it" in the
child-like belief that what is forbidden is
eradicated.
A probibitory law may, or may not,
be necessary. But unless, behind that
law, is the will of US all that that thing
be not done, the law does more harm than
good People can not be made over by
law. They can be made over by one
and only one thing, education. If We
find a baseball game before II O'Clock
On Tuesday an Objectionable mora
lapse, we may, if we can command enough
votes, get law PASSED against playing
ball until midday on. Tuesdays. But
unless the con lnunity feels that what we
think is an evil really is evil, the boys and
the ball players will play when they get
ready, and the community will go to see
them do it, law or no law.
There are many people in this country
who know the evils of child labor, and
many states have laws regulating it.
But the law is often broken, andttEere
are many places where there is no law
about it. The way to eliminate the evil
Of child labor is to educate the whole
country in regard to it; the law will fol-
low automa atically, and the evil be as
much ended as piracy, or burning at the
stake, or the ducking stool.
There are many people in this country
who know that our transportation prob
lem is not solved, while strikes and lock-
outs continue to interrupt it. The way
to make it adequate is not to pass law
after law forbidding this and compelling
that, but to educate the all OF US so that
we all know that the whole peoples
right is superior to any right + any group.
Education not only the wisdom in
books, but in the ability to think, is
what we all-need. Good schools, good
teachers. Federal aid, as in the ToWnef-
Sterling bill, now before Congress, to
create Department of Education; these
are the hopes Of all Of us who as yet do
not see with as clear vision as do those
who lead our thought and crystalline
our ideals.
And FIVE can not get out of the national
habit Of passing a law about it, let US
pass our laws for more and better educa-
tion. =
