URGES VOTING BY MAIL.
Advocate Finds Much in Favor of
Scientific Method"
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star
A few hundred votes are miscounted
at an election and there is an outcry.
A half million registered voters fail
to record their preferences and there
is scarcely a groan. Which evil de-
feats more the ends of good govern
inert?
In large cities, as a rule only half
the eligible citizens are even regis
tered. Therefore. in important mu-
nicipal elections sometimes only one
tenth the eligibles vote. The aver
age citizen likes to vote-is proud to
vote. Then why don't the total eliei-
bIes register and vote in each cleo
ton? The polling place is the trouble
too much trouble" Voting should
be q pleasure, not task.
The success in some states of 'ab-
sent voting" by mail. in spite Of its
obstructive formula. may have helped
inspire the recent squirt of interest in
"entire elections by mail" But its
real impetus will be found in two
very divergent sources-GD enfran-
chised women's dislike of the polling
place; (2) exasperatcd "wets" casting
about for a referendum medium.
There is much in favor of a scien-
tifc mail method. II would MAKE
voting a pleasant. home affair. with
no loss of work Or time. weather of
no account, and election costs cut in
half. More effectively than compuI-
sorry voting, it would bring into ac-
ton the total elisibfes. and thus
bury" evil candidates and all likely
frauds RUSSELL THOMPSON.

GOMPERS ATTACKS
'''OUTLAW" ruling
Declares Labor Board Ac-
ton Exact Replica of Com
munist Action.

Declaring that this is neither the
Russia of the black autocrat nor of
the red autocrat." President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor. last night issued a state
ment characterizing the action of
the Rail Labor Board in outlawing
striking shopmen as exactly as rep
lica of the action of the communists
in turning the unions into govern
ment controlled agencies for the
carrying out of the orders of the
state"
Freedom of expression" charges
Mr. Gompers. '.vanishes under the
order of the board. But 1 see now
that the workers of America, either
on the railroads or elsewhere, do not
intend to sacrifice freedom OF eX-
preston and of action. The board
undertakes to say that unions which
differ with the board must cease to
exist-they are 'outlawed.' Whether
this is for the moment an assumption
of authority on the part of the board
is immaterial. 1t is the logical out
come of the very establishment OF
such board. 1t is inevitable conse-
auence of an initial action that was
wrong in principle and that has
proven impossible in action. The
Railroad Labor Board as an insti-
tuition funo .ioning in the twentieth
century IS second in incongruity only
to the so-called open shop movement
Law Gives Right to Decline.
THE law gives the workers or the
railroads the right to decline to ac-
cept the boards rulings. The work
ers of necessity declined to work for
the terms ordered by the board. The
board now declares them 'outlawed

lective bargaining. of joint negotla-
ton and agreement by the voluntary
coming together of workers and EN-
ployers 1t is the calamitouS out
growth of a mistaken idea.
President W. H. Johnston of the
Internatio Association of Ma
chinists. members of which comprise
in numbers approximately one-hfth
of the strikers, declared last nlgnt
that the "outlawing" of the strikers
had not in the least affected the posi-
ion of the shopmen.
Indifferent About Ruling.
THE roads will have to take back
the striking employees some day; ana
when they do so the men Will go
back as union men," he said. Ihe
Railroad Labor Board has no more
mower to dissolve the unions than
the unions have to dissolve the board
AS far as the refusal of the board
TO deal with the unions is concerned.
1t makes little difference to US AS
a matter of fact, we would probably
be far better off today If the board
had never had any dealings with US;
We tried to go along with the board
as long as we could.
Advices received at the machinists
headquarters yesterday, Mr.. Johnston
said, indicated that more than 9S
per cent of the employees of railroad
shops were on strike. Ninety eight
per cent Of the kilograms received
from all sections of the country de-
clared that the strike in those sec
tions was 100 per cent effective. In
other sections, according to adVlces
from the machinists. the strike
ranges from 80 per cent to ~ per
cent effective.

Of the declaration of independence,
which is to be read again and again
to the American people, as the great

was 1t received in Europe? Who read
it first in England? Where did it go
after the signers had finally prepared
it?"

manifested itself as the news spread

16O MARKET RATS
KILLED BY POISON
Health Department Drive
AGAINST Rodents Prov
ing Successful.

One hundred and sixty rats killed
by poison bait in one building In the
downtown market section is the lat
est achievement of the health depart
ment in it's campaign to exterminate
rodents from places where food Is
kept. Health Officer William c. Fow-
Ter said today that this large catch
has just been reported by the sani-
tary inspector detailed to devote all
OF his time to rat work.
The building in question was about
TO be remodeled. and the pied piper
of the health office was called upon to
make an attack on the rats IN the
structure Bait was distributed gen.
erously and when the wooden floors
were taken up to be replaced oy con
crete $50 of the pests were found, VIC
Tins of the bait.
DR.. Fowler's inspector has been CO.
operating with the managers OF mar
kets and large food centers through
out the city in eliminating rats.
Barium carbonate is suggested by the
health department as one OF the
cheapest and most effective rat pois-
ons. The health officer said. however,
that care should be taken in using
any poison about private households
In making war on rats.
The health officers device is to put
the bait out at night just before re-
tiring and collect it the first thing in
the morning. Explaining the use of
barium carbonate, the health office
states:
"Barium carbonate may be fed In
the form of dough. composed of four
parts of meal or flour and one part
of the mineral. A more convenient
halt is ordinary oatmeal with about
one-eighth of it's bulk of the mineral
mixed with water into a stiff dough.
A third plan is to spread the barium
carbonate upon fish, toasted bread
tmoistened) or ordinary bread and
butter The prepared bait should be
placed in rat runs. about a teaspoon
full at place. If a single application
of the poison fails to kill or drive
away all rats from premises. it should
be repeated with change of bait"

IN STEP WITH PROGRESS
Two Farms Near Donnelly Reflect
Dairy Progress of County.

Two farms which are significant of
the trend of the times in Stevens
county toward more and better cat
tie and hogs are the farms operated
by N. V. Engquist and E. ]. Lund-
quist just southwest of Donnelly,
and four miles southwest re-
spectively. On the former one finds
a fine herd of grade Holsteins and
a pure bred sire while on the latter
pure bred Poland China hogs main
tain supremacy, so to speak, al
though a pure bred Holstein bull
finds quarters in one of the best
barns in Stevens county.
Mr.. Engquist has 16 grade Hol-
stein cows which he secured in Wis
consin last November. He also has
Is grade calves. The COWS are av-
eraging As pounds a day right
through now and have been the
means of producing a neat cream
check each month for Mr.. Engquist
since they have been on the place.
Besides the COWS, Mr.. Engquist also
cares for 1872 hogs, big and little,
which form a valuable asset to his
place. He kept Is sows over win
ter and averaged six pigs to the lit
ter with his spring pigs.
Mr.. Engquist is somewhat of
connOisseur in the art of feeding and
is taking step or two that is COM
paratively new in this section Of the
county this year. This year he has
put in four acres of sorghum which
he has an idea will come in mighty
handy next winter for his stock. He
has also planted three acres of soy
beans for feed. He is putting in SIS
acres of corn this year and 27 acres
of sweet clover so that he will be
prepared to make his cows produce
the maximum during the winter
months.
A trip to the E. J. Lundquist farm
brings one to one of the finest barns
In this county where things may be
found in shipshape condition at all
times. Within less than a stones
throw from the barn there is a fine
hog house in the shadow of a grove
that affords cool shelter for hogs
in the summer. All told there are
some 125 pigs, large and small sleep
ing or feeding in the grove when not
working the pasture westward there
from.
Mr.. Lundquist may probably be
ranked among the most successful
farmers of the county in bringing
his small pigs through this spring.
He wintered "a pure bred Poland
China sOws and his litters averaged
nine pigs this year. Two years ago,
Mr.. Lundquist purchased two sows
at Lake Elmo and the following
year two more at Howard Lake,
which formed a foundation for his
present herd. His herd sire is the
son of a $4,000 boar, grand cham
pion at the county fair last year and
at Herman took first in the aged boar
class and sweepstakes against all
other hogs shown. Mr.. Lundquist
owns this animal Jointly with Fred
Gerber, living two miles northwest of
Donnelly. Mr.. Lundquist expects to
hold brood SOW and boar sale this
fall or winter.
