Yes we have Prosperity in this
state. And when the farmer gets less
than dollar bushel for his wheat,
let him remember that all this wealth
comes under the administration OF
Preus, with Dollar Wheat Harding in
the presidents chair. The laborer who
IS getting his wages boosted downward,
might stop and think a bit, or will he
see great prosperity when the politi-
cal gang hands out a V or an x a
few days before election to half dozen
or a dozen labor men" to use their
influence with the rest Of the workers
to vote the old gang ticket. Even
those who get those measly fives and
tens ought to figure how long they can
live on these small ,bribes. Wouldn't t
it. be bit better to have better condi-
tions all along?: Then they could prob
ably get along without these fives and
tens that come around only once or
twice every two years. And the mer-
chant who is now getting rich wow
from the surplus money that the far
ner and laborer have to spend in this
Preus prosperity times, wouldn't ne
be better eff if prices Of farm products
were better ind wages to labor were
higher? If these three groups would
unite for their own best interests at
the ballot box, Magnus johnson will
be our next governor, w. w. Royster
will be railroad and warehouse COM
missioner and every farmer-labor can
didate all along the line will be elected
And if you ere rot quite sure that
this would make conditions any better,
for the luv-o-mike look around ard
see if anything could be much worse
than what we have now. Most any
change would be an improvement,
would it not? You have tried the
old gang long enough without getting
any benefit, why not give tie fa1mer--.
labor folks chance? q

The following from list Ffidsy's 8! s,
MAl Mankato Free Press comes under the
category, Important, if true:
.b'Over in New U]m, an attempt is
being made to dry up the Journal,
a newspaper that is opposed to the
wide open policy that is permitted
to run riot there. The Journal stood
'by the United States government dur
ing the World War-now it is not
pussyfooting On the liquor question:.
It has declined to suppress the fact
that liquor raids have been made in
that city and that during the late
home coming celebration federal agents
swooped down on alleged lviolators Of
the Volstead law. But the daubers
Of yellow paint will not frighten the
Journal into silence. Furthermore, the
better element in New U]m is support
ing the Journal in its fight against
the rabble, that is making the name
Of New Ulm a by-word in the mouths
Of good people everywhere.
The Reme1u is reprinting the above
|squib from the Free Press in full be-
cause we believe that laughter is a
healthy exercise and vixen folks get
chance to see what a vivid imagina-
stion old Reynolds has, they surely
will have to laugh. The glaring mis-
statements are so plain in every SEN
tence Of the above that it isn't neces-
sary to make any reply. 1t is quite
interesting to see how tie Journal
declined to suppress tie fact that
liquor raids have been made" in our
city when the Reuiew with a much
larger circulation than the Journal al
ways carries the ntws about liquor
raids as well as all other news. Still
that isn't. any more '.off" than the
rest of the Free Press spasm. Max

Free Press and other members Ct the

are always shouting about their pa
triotism know full well that the general
public would never know from their
contact with them that there is

Small Stuff.

SnaGW Stuff.
We always feel bit sorry for the
small sized man. AS a rule, however
the man who is small Of stature makes
up for it in exceptional mental powers.
But when man is small both physi-
cally and mentally, we feel sorry for
him indeed.
The writer las had the pleasure Of
reporting base ball games Tor the
Review during the summer months,
We have found the folks connected
with the New Ulm Base Ball associa-
tion to- be q set OF gentlemen that it
does ones heart good to meet. They
are good sports and honest sportsmen
all the way from umpire to water
carrier.
But there is one small fellow in the
bunch for whom we feel sorry. He
holds a very honorable position, being
score keeper. The smaller the man
the greater is the hcnor, don't you
think? w s..gs
This little fellow surprised US yery
much by refusing to give Us the lire,
up and in every way trying to exhibit
his /. true size. It was almost uni e.
lieyable in view of tie fact that The
base ball association naturally war ts
all the publicity possible. Base bal
write-ups are as good as paid adver-
tisng. But they cost the club nothing
at all. On topssof that, the Reciets
is one of the enthusiastic underwriters
Of the New Ulm} Base Ball association
being doSn for 2 guarantee Of $10(
this year. 53.-.
But We have now learned The reason
for little Fletcher's behay yor He came
in one day and helped himself tps q
copy Of the Reriew, not beng o. sHhe
list as a paid subscriber. The lady AT
the desk said: Five cents, please!"
Now can you imagine how q lady could
SO far forget herself as to insult little
Fletcher by asking him to pay q whole
nickel for copy Of the Reyie1y? Cf
course he got mad He flung the
paper down and walked out without it.
Why, didn't the lady know that he
was the official scorer for the base
ball club, having worked his way up
by sheer dint Of CAB frcn Official
water carrier? Why, boy, if he con
stinues TO grow, he may reach heights
unknown.
And carrying q slnprtal grudge against
Y the lady at the sdesk. what more natu-s
ral than to vent his spite on the sports

The Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch un-
der its new management, w. r. Har-
rington. editor, used the canned story
|about New ulm yellow paint which put
special emphasis on the Catholic parish
house spill, the7 story appearing in
tie Herald Dispatch AFTER the
Revicw had reached Sleepy Eye with
the truth about tie matter. Now it
may be that the story was in type
and possibly that side OF the paper
printed before thesfact became known.
If So, Bro. Harrington, if he wants to
do. the right thing BY the Catholics,
will correct tie mistake in q future issue
of bis paper. tssi
Another interesting fact is that the
story about the yellow painting is
appearing in all tthe. papers who are
of the Preus-K Kellogg stamp with ex-
actly the same wording in each, but
without crediting the story to any Other
paper. Did P. Liesch write the story
and syndicate it sit sit to all these other
papers and thus throw odium, not cnly
on the city where he lives and earns
his living. but also on the church to
which he belongs? And if he did, it
isn't the first time that this bird has
fouled his own nest.

pular attorney in this way had lu-
crative income. Although even ther
we feel that the ethics Of the situation,
would demand that such practi-
toner should resign as a law enforc.
ing officer.
But when these cases are few and
far between and certainly not source
of great income, when the defendant
have ample opportunity to secure gooc
legal services otherwise, we feel that !;
city attorney should not appear il
criminal court as the attorney. for the
defense. 1t cannot but have politi.
cal effect which is demoralizing on the
law enforcement machinery Of com
munity. ..t
There ought to be absolute har-
mony between the sheriff's Office anc

harmony between the county attor.

officials to ferret out crime and t.
punish evilAdoers. .s:.
It is the duty of every good citize'

ing sides with a certain loud-moutheC
criticism of New UlIn's law enforce,
ment machinery which is plainly not
sincere but pre- inpted by selfish spirit
of revenge. The writer, wlo has spent
the summer months in New U,m anc
whose tenn Of employment with the
Reoiev expires with this issue, is prob,
ably in better position to give an
impartial opinion than tie folks who
live here permanently, and New Ulm
measures up in law enforcement witt
any other place in the world. Scme
folks who are now criticising in loue
voice have themselves appeared IN
court and begged for suspended sen
tences when their own kin was in the
drag net of the peace officers. Fol
that reason, the demands for law en-
forcement from such q source, eyer
though sentiments that can be sub
scribed to by all good citizens, should
be taken with pinch Of salt. Some
folks who want to "clean house" sc
badly might sweep off their own front
porch first, probably. And yet, we
should always be in favor OF law en-
forcement and stand ready to give
justice to even the most unpopular
individuals. The majority OF the
people of New UIm are built that way

To the Editor Of the NewlU'sn Review.

In recent number of the Reoieao |
noticed communication from Mrs.
Ives Of ST. Paul, a daughter Of the late
Gov. Swift, pertaining to the Indian
Massacre in August, 1862. From this
communic2t 2tion it would appear Gs
though Mr.. Swift and about twelve or
fifteen other ST. Peter men came to New
Ul1n on horseback on the 10th day Of
August early enough in the day to aid
and help in the first desperate fight to
repel the Indians.
This is not exactly correct. It is true
that Mr.. Swift and his party came to
New Ul5n on the 10Th Of August but not
until the fight was over and the Indians
had gone toward Ft. Ridgely which they
attacked the next .dfsy The heavy rain
stopped the fight srA the St. Feter men
did not cross the Redstone ferry until
the rain was over. I spoke to some cf

fight. During the fight the Indians

''The New Ulm Journal Office, to-
yether with the residence ct h. ~.
Beecher, a prominent citizen, and one
# the Catholic parish houses, was re-
Gently decorated with liberal quantities
of yellow paint. We had thought the
yellow paint spasm was over, but evl-
IDENTIFY such is not the case. Decorat--
ing place with yellow paint doesn't
prove much except that the perpe-
traitors are set Of dirty towards who
are afraid Of their actions in daylight.
If that is any consolation to those
who did the work Of painting, it is
probably all right with those whose
property was painted" &C Cottonuoo ooe
County Citizen.
The above is just one Of many COM cor I;
ments now being made in newspapers
of the state and again the Revie1u DE-
plores the fact that an untruth about
the Catholic parish house, started by
P. Liesch in the Journal should be
spread broadcast over the state and
give the people an entirely erroneous
idea as to the standing Of the Catholics
in this community. We hope that all
papers who copied the slander will
make amends by correcting it. There
was no malicious painting Ct the parish
house, but some children spilled some
red paint on the floor in one OF the
rooms.
AS to the rest Of the editorial squib
in the Citizen, we ARE glad to learn
that even Bro. Churchill of Window,
who penned it,, is at last showing signs
of becoming civilized. As far as we
know, this is the first and only time
that Churchill has opened his voice in
protests against yellow paint. The
yellow painting CT Nonpartisan League
houses during the Burnquist regime
in Minnesota, and the tar and feather
parties in those days, were just as
wrong and despicable as the crimes
committed. against Beecher and the
Journal here. Where was Churchill
and his ilk at that time?

hat the statem ment is just as true as
most of tie political bunk that
