VOTE OR YOU'RE STACKER
Mrs. Maud Wood Park Offers Ad-
vice To CountrY,s CitizenrY

vice To country's citizenry
The man or woman who fails to
vote this autumn ought to have a
white feather pinned on" say Mrs.
Maud Wood Park, president of the
National League Of Women Voters.
such man, such a woman, Is a
Stacker. In time of war there are
several ways of betraying the coun-
try; in time of peace there is only
one-failure to cast a conscientious
vote. Men and women who will not
vote are doing all they can do to
destroy democracy for no country in
which elections are decided by the
votes of the minority, no country
of mind to take part in elections, is
anything but a despotism, the rule
of the Indifferent many by the self
fsh few.
THE working out of a real de-
mocracy has only two problems
how to get men and women to vote
in every election and how to get
them to look at public questions from
the viewpoint Of the good of the
whole people. Our league works all
the year round to make voters take
the national not the Gopher Prai-
rie viewpoint, and for the next two
months it's members must make a
special effort to help create the vot-
ing habit, the habit of fighting in
the great peace time army. Every
woman must do her utmost to as
sure that no woman in her commu-
nifty shall neglect to vote either out
of ignorance of the processes of
voting or of the importance Of vot-
ing. 1t is not the business of the
League to tell women for whom to
vote, but how to vote and why to
vote and when to vote. This year
I think It WIN not be amiss for the
league to add as its business candid
expressions of opinion as to slack
ers The men and women who fail
to vote are nothing else than slack
ers, and I am not at all sure that
Stacker isn't too mild and polite a
word to aDpfy to them"

STRANGE FRIENDSHIP THIS

Duluth, Mimi, September 12.-The
tale. of a strange friendship between
a lonely trapper and a large bull
moose through the common Ian
guage of music has been brought
back from the Stony river territory
in northern Minnesota by Thomas
Denley, chief forest ranger OF that
district. II
Thirty five miles from the near

of the remote Stony river district
lives Charley LAME in a trappers
cabin, Denley relates.
Besides being one of the most
successful trappers in the Minneso-
Ia wilderness LAME has ability with
a violin bow and spends many OF
his evenings in the lonely woods
playing old songs favorites of years
ago.
One of his most interested listen.
ers is a large bull moose which
comes to the river near the cabin
and stands belly deep in the water
while it lifts its heavily antlered
head towards the cabin and listens
to the violin. When the concert is

woods. LAME has had numerous OPP
portunities to shoot the animal but
the kindred appreciation of music
has STAYED his hand

VIII Be Observed
kiwanis Clubs To Bring Document
BeforesPeopie of The
United States

The week of September 17-24 has
been designated as Constitution
Week" which will be celebrated in
the S25 Kiwanis clubs in the United
States. e.
The Constitution of the United
States is the basic law of the gov
eminent which for the first time in
history recognized certain unalien-
able rights Of the individual against
which the government must not
Il espass.
In this one feature the Constitu-
ton merits the appreciation and en-
thusiastic support of all right think
ing citizens.
From the dawn of history to the
writing of the American Constitu-
tion, the struggle on the part of the
masses had had for its purpose the
recognition by government and SOW
ereigns of the unalienable rights of
the individual.
The recognition given these rights
by the federal Constitution will be
the keynote of the Constitution
Week program which will be cele-
brated by the Mankato Kiwanis
club at it's meeting next Tuesday.
Professor A. B. Morris of the State
Teachers College will be the speak
err His topic will be The Evolu-
lions Of the Constitution.

YOUNG MAN ARRESTED
Suspected of Having Extended
y Thieying Activities Considerable

Rochester, September 9.-With
the arrest of Martin Peterson, aliGs
Peterson at Hastings, police believe
that the mystery Of long list of rob-
berries in in nearly a dozen cities in
three states has been solved. His
activities it is thought by police, ex-
tended during the summer in a
large number of cities, and include
the theft of a number of automo-
bies, the breaking into garages and
other thefts.
Rochester police have been on his
trail for some time and believe they
have the goods on him. The Ro-
chester youth, now being held at
Winona and charged with the theft
of tires and automobile accessories
from a Minnesota City garage, is
believed to have stolen the car be-
longing to ]. P. Meloney of Mime
apolis at Owatonna on August 30.
Tis car was thought to have been
disposed of at La Crosse about a
week ago.
The car which Peterson had in
his possession when arrested was at
first thought to have been stolen
from Harry Nicholson of Rochester
at Owatonna on August 81. Sher1n
Huck of Winona county is of the
opinion that the machine belongs to
an Owatonna man.
The license plate belonging to the
Meloney car. S. d. 44090, is now IN
the possession of the Rochester po-
lice.
The young mans crime career
took him to Des Moines, Iowa ear
lier in the summer to which place
he is believed to have been accom-
panied by other young men of this
city, who were evading the law. He
also extended his activities to Man
kato and Albert Lea.
At Faribault he had trouble with
one Of the stolen Gears and had 1t
repaired in a garage. AS payment
for the work he is said to have ten
dered a check on Rochester bank.
The check was refused and that
night the young bandit is said to
have broken into the garage, stole
the car and drove away.
With his arrest may come the ex-
PLANTATION of the long series OF rob-
berries during the past few months
in various places throughout this
section of the state and elsewhere.
