A German professor has suddenly
arrived at the conclusion lhat. the
whole world may be gaSsed to death
by huge comet from poison vapors
coming from mat comet. Well, it
will not be much worse than being
gassed to death BY some Of these po-
liticians, will it:
Interference with the movement Of
the United States mail was what Jed
President Cleveland to send Federal
troops to Chicago during the big
strike of 1894. The same reason may
lead President Harding 20 call on the
Army to guard the movement of
trains this summer. The strikers may
rest assured tina mail trains will run.
If anyone doubts which party is
responsible for delaying the tariff bill
and other pieces Of legislation on the
Republican program he has but to
look at the record of debates in the
Senate. Every obstructiorist speech
is from a Democrat, and the Demo-
cratic Senators voted solidly against
the attempt of the Republicans to
invoke the cloture role.

bandment of local union in New
York because some of it's members. are
too "radicaP'. But Mr.. Gompers does
not class as radical an attempt to de-
prive the country of fuel or to tie up
it's transportation by railroad, altho
en-. would have you believe this
ject would spell certain death to thou
sands of our citizens.
Elsewhere in this issue we publish
an article from the Mandan Pioneer
in which the suggestion is made that
Judge Christensen become a candi-
date for United States senator as a
independent candidate this fall, and
that Senator Ladd be recalled and
McCumber run against him. This
would be very nice indeed if such u
thing could happen, but there is moth
ing in the constitution of the United
States, we think, that provides for the
recall of the members of the United
States senate. But the real issue be-
fore the people of this state now is to
stop the election Of recalled COVER
nor to the United States senate. AYE,
that's the rub"
That the loan department of our
state government is functioning is
evidenced by the report recently sent
out from headquarters. Loans ap-
praised by the farm loan department
from January 1 to July Is this year
total s. 1868 GAO. Loans approved and
allowed by the finance committee to-
tai $3,317,S00. For the first half of
July eighty loans totaling $312,140.00
were approved for closing. One hun
dred papers were sent out for sigma
ture, totaling $327,000 and $14S,71911
s paid on 665 loans in process of
closing. The guy who says the pres
,ent administration is not doing any,
thing for the farmers of the state has
another guess coming.
The Minnesota Federation of Labor
at it's meeting held in st. Paul re-
Gently, turned down the proposition
for the one big union idea. The radi-
cal element in the convention also in
troduced a resolution calling for the
recognition of Soviet Russia but no
action has yet been taken of the mat
ter. If these radical labor chaps
think so much of Russia why don't
they move over there and; let the
United States continue in peace. 1t is
these punches of radicals that is res
ponsible for most of the unrest that
has spread over the country and the
sooner they get out of it and link up
with their dear friends Trotsky and
Lenine the better it will be for all
concerned
Picture, if you can, a tubby little
gentleman with very little hair on his
head but plenty on his chin, of very
slight stature but quite chesty, lead
ing mammoth elephant, labeled G.
O. P, around and making it jump tc
the crack of his whip. 1t makes g
ludicrous picture but that is what the
the continued success of either pro.
junior senator from this state, Sena.
