THE BLACKLIST SCANDAL
IN AMERICAN POLITICS.

but Il revolutionary change in political
methods will remove. There is sure
to be political degeneracy in any com
munity where failure to agree with
an office-holding autocracy subjects
the man of Independent mind to per-
sonal and political persecution. There
was n time when under the disfran-
chisement system the South was ruled
by its best minds, but a glance at the
local, state and national personnel of
southern Democratic leadership today
proves that the aristocracy which
rules the Solid South today is not ,one
of intellect and social superiority, but
of cunning, chicanery and an insati-
able appetite for place and power,
Under this system through which
the mock has been put in Democracy,
the Solid South states have fifty seats
in Congress and the electoral college
based upon votes which the ruling
oligarchy will not permit to be cast.
The election returns prove this. An
examination of the laws and practices
which have eliminated four-fifths of
the people from participation in gov
ernment prove it. In the face of this
blackest scandal in American politics
Congress sits supine. 1t has refused
to be interested, despite frequently re-
peated appeals. In violation of their
oaths of office, members of Congress
refuse to obey the Constitution in the
decennial reappOrtionments.
Besides this base betrayal of the
fundamentals which lie at the basis of
American representative government,
all other scandals in national life pale
into insignificance. Representative
Tinkham is to be congratulated upon
the courage and genuine interest in
the supremacy of the federal Consti-
tuition which has impelled him to in
troduce his resolution.
1t is to be hoped that such courage
and loyalty to the fundamental princi-
pies of Americanism will be conta-
gious 1t is to be hoped that other
members of Congress will begin to
take an interest in the enforcement of
that provision of the Constitution
which imposes an appropriate penalty
for wholesale disfranchisement and
creates the one inducement for an
American method of dealing with the
franchise At any rate it is to be
hoped that sometime during the pres
ent Congress those who favor and
those who oppose fulfillment of the
clear terms of an official oath of al
legiance to the Constitution, those who
believe in American representative
government and those who can with
equanimity. witness its overthrow in
a large group of states, will have the
opportunity to stand up and be count
ed.
Why not, at any rate, have the
facts? A congressional inquiry Will
bring them out. 1t will enable the
country to learn how far the process
of substituting autocracy and tyranny,
fraud and violence. for free represen-
tative government has gone in the en-
bezzlement of power in the states of
the Solid South or anywhere in the
entire nation. Many politicians were
able to work themselves into. lather
over the Newberry case who will be
found defending the corrupt system of
tyranny in the Solid South. Despite
this fact the probe should go to the
bottom of this deep cesspool of poll
tical corruption.-National Republican

We are awfuy fed up on reading about the
way the visiting Prince wears his hat, on how
he smiles CHEEKY greeting to certain fortunate
ones and how he comes home to bed without no.
tifying his host that he has arrived ETC., etc. It
is nice to know that the Prince is just ordn-
airy human being who does these ordinary human
things, but even the biggest half of us, which is
English, finds itself bored by such minute report.
We weren't even thrilled by the fact that on one
occasion he wore a very "foppy and somewhat
shabby Panama" of ancient vintage

Among the Lyon County fair attractions are
Gunnar Bjornson and "Bill" Nolan. We don't
mean that the boys are attractions in the same
sense that we speak of some of the other side
shows, but the fact that both of these big men
will give big talks should attract lot of peopla
who are thoughtful about the issues of the day
Mr.. Nolan is the Republican candidate for Lieu.
tenant Governor and speaker of more than
statewide reputation. Mr.. Bjornson is candi-
date for Congress from the Seventh District and
his fearless and intelligent sort of a talk always
makes big appeal to the people of this section
who know him well and love him much. For
good measure the Lyon County people have also
secured Floyd Olson, the Farmer-Labor candidate
for governor We have never heard Mr.. Olson
speak but from those who have learn that he
too, is an interesting talker. For ourselves
however, we shall be content if we get to
Marshall to hear just Bill and Gunnar.

Believing that every merchant in our home
town knows the cost of carrying his stock OF
merchandise, that he knows what his overhead
is and that he has honestly and fairly figured the
price at which he must sell each article in order
to get his legitimate profit, we have never gone
into store and requested cut price. We don't
know the mercantile business and don't pre-
tend to. We have often had to abstain from
buying because an article was beyond fin
ancial resources but we have questioned
the merchants integrity in making his price for
that article nor have presumed to insult him
by asking him to have 'two prices" as all cut
rate artists have. We believe in RECIPROCITY.

The finest thing that can be said of ny citi
zen when he is absent from his home town is
"We need him back again.. Since the illness of
John P. Cooper we have innumerable times heard
his fellow townsmen say just that; 1--WE NEED
J. Pr" To have community recognize its de-
tendency upon the strength and character of a
man is big tribute paid that mans integrity,
ability and judgment. If Mr.. Cooper in his sick
room receives surge of telepathic waves urging
his speedy return to health and to Redwood Falls,
it will be the urge of the need the residents Of
this vicinity feel for his presence and his sup
port This need is thing apart from the bust
ness of his bank which continues to function eff
fciently in his absence. It is a sensing on the
part of the people that man of strength is gone
for time and the town is weakened by his being
away: WE NEED J. p! Here's hoping for his
complete recovery and his early return.

When a copy of Volume One of Minnesota
Public Opinion reaches your desk, take time to
look it over carefully and kindly. This is new
magazine just about to be launched, and it's editor
and publisher is August Erickson, formerly OF
Springfield and well-known to all the residents
of these parts. Mr.. Erickson is an attorney who
got the smell of printers ink in his nostrils to
such extent that he disposed of the law practice
he has had in ST. Cloud since leaving Springfield
several years ago, and will go seriously into the
publishing business in Minnesota. Public Opinion
may be favored with Democratic principles, but
it will be fair and free in its views, and unless
Mr.. Erickson has deteriorated tremendously, will
be interesting to the last word.
