Friends of the State of Brazil and
of closer and friendlier relations have
raised one hundred thousand dollars
for the making of a colossal Goddess
of Friendship" to be presented as a
gift to Brazil on the occasion of her
centennial Of independence. 1t Is ex-
pected that this statue will stand in
the harbor of Rio Janeiro as the
Statue of Liberty does in New York
harbor. At the base of the statue
are four figures, two of the Brazilian
heroes of liberty and two Americars,
Washington and Lincoln. AS in the
case of most statues of this kind, there
has been some criticism, espec ally
of the four human figures, and so
strong has it become that the figures
may be altered or removed entirely.
The statue is the work of noted
sculptor and is said to be a fine piece
of work.

Germany is reported to be willing
to have a commission appointed to
watch her financial operations. This
body is to have free scope to look
into everything, but is to have M
power of control. The object is ap-
parently to assure the allied nations
to which Germany owes reparati ,n
money that she is acting in good
faith and is managing her finances
with purpose to pay what she can.
This is long step in advance and
ought to create better feeling. Sne
has asked for postponement of
money obligation due and this method
has been devised to meet the situa.
tion. The chance of getting loans
from other countries grows less, and
Germany realizes she must plan to
make the payments out of her own
resources.

On July 30, the anniversary of the
beginning of the World War, meet
ings will be held in almost every part
of the world, to arouse sentiment in
favor of outlawing war. In fact, the
whole week will be devoted to the
cause and attention will be called to
various constructive plans to accom-
plish that end. There is no better
way in which this memorial day may
be spent. 1t is notable that women
are especially interested, as they
have right to be, and their influence
will go as far toward bringing results
as anything can. Suggestions that
are practical are certain to receive
attention, as the mass of mankind
do not want war, but are drawn into
it because of inadequate means of ad-
justing disputes between nations.

future time is well under way. It
would be a bold and telling act and
would give England a position of

her the good will of friends and enc

tions to such an act, and they will
be sure to be brought out.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The Princeton Union desires to wish
all it's friends and readers a Merry
Christmas. Like every other individ-
ual or institution, the Union occas-
sionally has a few minor difficulties
but there is not a newspaper in the
state of Minnesota that is blessed
with more loyal, generous friends.
While We may not be exactly rolling
in money at this Christmas season,
we have that which is infinitely more
to be desired. We are all travelling
the same path and it is much more
pleasant if we can journey in peace
and harmony. But until the majority
of us can add few more stars to our
crowns, a certain amount of grief and
strife seems inevitable. At one sea-
son of the year, however, we can all
afford to lay aside petty grievances.
So here is wishing everyone far and
near all the blessings of the Christ
mastide.

Let's Try to be Honest.

The 18th amendment should either
be enforced or repealed. Enforcement
requires the backing Of sane and
courageous public sentiment. The
people of any township, city or coun-
ty can drive out the bootleggers and
moonshiners if they were united and
served notice on the authorities that
not to enforce the law meant recall
and election. Up to this time, except
few feeble attempts, and speaking
generally, neither the police force nor
the sheriffs and county attorneys have
tried very hard to back up the law,
and neither have state governments.
The federal government has made
most of the effort in this direction,
but it is too big a job to make much
headway against the widespread VIOLA
ton of the law and constitution. Is
there any sound reason why the whole
burden should be left to Uncle Sans
officials? At least SO states are re-
sponsible for the 18th amendment,
and they should not be slackers. The
one thing needed is to arouse public
sentiment to give the law fair trial,
which it has not had. If there is
not enough loyalty in the country to
enforce the law, then be honest enough
to repeal it-but not until an honest
attempt has been made to make it ef-
fective. This clamoring for light
wine and beer under a constitution
that prohibits Intoxicating beverages,
is no remedy, and is both futile and
dishonest. 1t took civil war to wipe
out one lie in the constitution, and
let's not put another one in it.-St.

INTERFERENCE NOT NEEDED

AA' AAsA AAsA1ANo VIZ 4NOl
1t appears that the board of county
commissioners has laid itself open to
unfriendly criticism from a certain
quarter. At it's meeting on December
the board passed resolution asking
that bids on the county printing be
submitted at the meeting on January
and stated that separate not collec-
tive bids would be considered. That
is, the board wishes to handle sepa-
rately such items as the printing of
the county commissioners proceed
ings, financial statement, delinquent
tax list, other legal notices, and the
so-called job work.
Last year the majority of the board
members, despite the vigorous pro-
tests of one individual, insisted on
considering separate rather than COL
lective bids in the letting of the print
ing. Having found it so satisfactory
IN 1922, it appears they have decided
to employ the same method this year.
Their reasons for following the plan
are obvious. There are some news
papers in the county that might not
feel that they could afford to attempt
to handle all the county printing but
would appreciate the opportunity to
bid on that work which they are
equipped to do, Then it would be very
difficult for the board to decide on
which collective bid was the lowest if
there was considerable variation in
the amounts for the different items.
Some Of the legal publications are
printed only one week and some, three
weeks. If there was not much diff
ference in the collective bids it proba-
bly, would be an utter impossibility
to determine which would be the low
est for all items considered. By con-
sidering each of the five big items sep
arately it makes the question of letting
the work to the lowest bidder absolute
ly clear cut and entirely eliminates
any grounds for argument or personal
influence.
If the Princeton Union submits bids
on the county printing, there is every
reason to suppose that it, like every
other newspaper in the county, will re-
ceive fair treatment. But the Union
is not consulting with the county
commissioners personally, nor is it
asking it's friends and subscribers to
write to the commissioners, telephone
to them, nor call on them. All the
members that will constitute the
board have had considerable expert
ence in receiving bids and letting
work, and there is no reason to think
they will not be perfectly capable of
attending to this matter without inter
ference or dictation from any sources.
Far be it from the Union to attempt
to even advise the county board in re-
spect to it's manner Of transacting
business. The Union has always in
sisted on managing it's own affairs and
has every reason to believe that other
parties wish to enjoy the same privi-
lege.
