Magnifying Magnus

The newspapers far and wide have had their
fling at Magnus johnson, the recently elected sem
ator from Minnesota. Mr.. johnson has lately been
a series of speeches in his home state and
in one of them he predicted revolution unless there
was an equitable distribution of wealth among the
people. The New York Herald takes Mr.. johnson
to task for his utterances in the following man
Iner:
"The newly elected senator from Minnesota, Mag
nus johnson, dons the robes of a prophet of gloom,
He sees revolution if conditions are not changed.
IMagnus finds that '65 per cent of the wealth of the
country is in the hands of 2 per cent of the popu-
lation and unless there is better distribution of
this wealth the common people are going to revolt
against it,
"What is wealth, Magnus? Is it In homes, where
people have more fun than elsewhere? In this coun-
try 100000 families hold deeds to their homes.
Is it in motor cars, joyous chariots of TIE modern
Rome? Eleven million families own their OWE au-
buy n gas buggy. Is it in savings bank accounts?
Thirteen million families have these and their
footings run to nearly ten billions.
"In Magnus' own state three families own their
own homes to every two families that rent. Are
these house owners, these motor car owners, these
savings bank depositors going to join in a revolu-
ton of wealth? Is Farmer Magnus johnson, owner
of one of the largest and finest Gothic barns in
Minnesota, going to make war in order that his
barn be distributed among those who haven't
barns?
1.-TWO per cent of the population is not eating
Go per cent of the green corn and cherry pie these
days. 1t is not catching 65 per cent of the bass or
swimming Go per cent of the swims. 1t is not sec
ing 65 per cent of the motion pictures OF dancing
plunge into percentages we should say that 9S per
cent of the people, including Magnus have 100 per
cent of the joy-and therefore the wealth of the
world"

A reader can quickly scan the topics and more
easily find what he wants or ascertain whether
there is any subject in which he has particular in
terest- The different subjects noted in the summary
are numbered and corresponding numbers appear
in the text.
The British record of debates has two features
that would probably commend it to many Ameri-
cans. Because of the small quantity of material it
is printed in a pamphlet with pages about the size
of the ordinary government document in this coun-
try, whereas our Congressional Record has very
large pages. This advantage in the form of the
convenience of having the records of the two
houses published separately. Another feature of
the British record is that where a members speech
Is carried over from one page to another the mem
bers name appears at the top of the new page SO
that the reader can easily see who the speaker was
without turning back to the previous page.
Our Congressional Record contains several fea-
turss not known elsewhere. One of these is the
publication of speeches not actually delivered on
the floor. Here, as in other countries, there is not
time enough for all to speak who wish. In this
country this difficulty has been met by granting
in the house of representatives what is known as
leave to print" or to extend remarks in the Rec
ord Thus a member is given opportunity to ex-
press his views officially and make them available
as valuable as the right to talk on the floor, for in
a large proportion of instances a man talks chiefly
to empty benches unless the Importance of the sub
ject or his reputation as an orator draws members
to their seats. Minority members are not always
assured an opportunity to be heard in other coun-
tries.
In both houses in our congress a member is
given opportunity to revise his remarks, thus cor.
recting inaccuracies incident to extemporaneous
speech. Where an address occupies more than one
day, publication may be withheld and the speech
printed as a whole, when complete.

Its Glory Departed

There stands in Casper today a monument to the
memory of a once flourishing industry. An in
dustry full of energy and regarded, at the time, by
many as an asset to the town. What glory it
possessed has departed The monument, with its
paneless windows, its rat infested tunnels, its de-
caying timbers and %crumbling masonry, is a monu-
ment of the similitude of many others throughout
the land.
1t is the Casper brewery. The tombstone Of the
festive book and ordinary five per cent Once ac-
tive in the affairs of Casper, now departed, and
to a bourne from which it will never return Many
imitators have since risen up to usurp the throne
of the late giant; but none have attained into his
perfection; his power and his kick. These pre-
tenders may flourish for q day-a week perhaps
haunts of men will know them no more, forever.
Why should the old brewery remain a silent mon
ument, idly commemorating the life and works of a
demon, permitted all too long to work his will?
Why should it be a tombstone Why should it
not become, instead, a thing of usefulness, re-
formed, purified, regenerated, made to atone in
useful service for past sins?
The solemn old brewery, standing in solitude,
with its sombre mantle of wrong wrapped about it,
stoically meeting its fate-which is disintegration
marks one of the violent and unexpected changes
Let the human family have its will, but when des-
truction has run its course, it is time tAen for up
building. Should not the old brewery be recon
structed into something of benefit?
Surely it is an eyesore as it stands today.

A Bum Slogan

Alice Robertson, former member of congress from
Oklahoma, since her retirement from public life
has been casting about to see whether or not she
overlooked any duty to her constituents during her
two years spent in Washington. She discovered
one, and she desires it to be spread abroad as a
motto or slogan. From its nature it is assumed

the other sex unless, perchance, the specimen hail

Back to Corsets."
Alice leaves the world to guess whether, she, her
self, has gone back, or whether she ever abandoned

follow the rules they lay down for the guidance of
others.

Health authorities rallied at the corset for years
and when they quit women quit choking them
selves with them. Since shedding them, observers
inform us that a marked improvement in the fe-

Coming back to corests is simply coming back
TO torture, which sensible women will scarcely wei

to her survey and discover something else of great.

Our Legislative Proceedings

Notwithstanding the many jibes to which 1t is
subjected, the Congressional Record places daily
before the people of the country a more complete
|nnd convenient transcript of national legislative
proceedings than is provided for the perusal OF the
people of any other country. The British parlia-
|mentary record is almost exclusively a record of
debates with a record of the action taken on bills.
There is no list of bills introduced, no publication
|of conference reports, no list of executive docu.
|ments transmitted TO the Legislative body. The
French record made available for public reading
s fairly comparable with ours in most respects
md may even be superior in some.
1t is not convenient for general use, since the de.
bates of the two chambers are published separate.
y and the leaves are not stitched, so that handling
$ difficult and filing even more difficult. In Great
Britain, also, the debates in the two houses are
printed separately plan not so convenient as

The French record of debates has one feature

report of the debate in each chamber there is given

Peace by Phrases

"The danger ever lurking in a campaign with
such a slogan as Law, Not War is that it may
deceive unthinking people into believing that a
mere utterance of this pious aspiration will bring
about permenent peace" Thus writes the New York
Times.
1t would be well for the Times to turn back to
its files of 1916 and convince itself whether or not
it lent its columns at that time to an equally pious
aspiration and at the same time the most hypo-
critical slogan even turned loose upon a people
II kept us out of war"
IS recalled the Times did take part in peddling
this treacherous propaganda and used its influence
in the interest of the very man who knew at the
time, as did all informed editors of the country
that we were even then on the verge of war and
nothing short of a miracle could prevent our going
in.
Why object to SO worthy a slogan as Claw, not
war" if any particular group of our people desire
to adopt it. The sentiment is in every way correct
To settle differences by law is much more desir.
able than to settle them by Strengthening each
other, In the former case the right may be deter
mined. In the latter case nothing is proved except
who is the most ruthless butcher.
Anything that will bring universal and perma.
nent peace, even though it be only a slogan which
captures the unthinking is a thing to be desired.

Go With Open Ewes

II the American farmer desires to embrace the
Farmer-Labor stuff with its ~sovietism, bolshevism
and what not; and il he even desires to rush to
the political and economic rescue of Russia, at the
behest of his Red brother of the Farmer-Labor
party, then let him. But let him go with his eyes
wide open. Let him peruse the news from Europe
and especially from the country with which he will
be in deepest sympathy governmentally If he fol.
lows out the program of his party.
Let him take the word of Mr.. Skobelieff, unof.
ficial ambassador of the soviet to France, who
says: "The Russian export of wheat is increasing
ly active. At least four million tons will be ex.
ported next winter by the soviets. Russia expects
to become the chief competitor Of the United States
in supplying the wheat needs of the world"
There you have it. If you have answered the plea
of your Red brother of the FarmerLabor party and
Joined up in aid of the Russian system, you must be
somewhat bewildered. And then when you stop to
think that your own wheat is at present worth n
dollar, you discover your Russian friends ready TO
dump four million tons on the market to make
the price still less.
If the wheat farmers of America can find anv
cause for embracing the Farmer-Labor movement
as a means OF bettering their political or economic
condition they lack the intelligence they are or.
dinaruy reputed to possess.
