He'll do for us again boys, what he
did for Fall before.
He's been tried, and he was silent

Keep cool and keep Coolidge and
we will keep the rest.
There is more truth than poetry In
that verse, tho we confess there is a
little Of both. Coolidge's GOODNESS is
contagious. The workers are not so
cool when they remember the injunc-
tions secured by his party against
them, and the dirt farmers find their
celluloid collars trucking down their
backs as they look on their vanishing
wealth. But the producers are in
clined to be equally cool to the DEM
ocratic party. They have not forgot
ten the famous war for democracy
and the Palmer red raids and injunc-
tions. Both parties are tools Of Wall
Street. Whichever party wins, the
workers lose and Wall Street wins.
The organization Of a class Farmers
Labor party at st. Paul on June IL is
what the class conscious workers and
exploited farmers are pinning their
hopes on.
The capitalist press is indulging IN
much nonsense about the dictatorship
Of the workers in Russia. It is there.
We do not deny it. We defend IT, It
means the rule of the majority over
the minority or what the average
American would consider democracy.
The Russian workers are taking pre-
cautions that will prevent the enc
mics of the workers who still infest
Russia from undoing the work of the
revolution. They have taken the
guns from the robber class and placed
them in the hands of what was for
merly the ruled class, but is today

own the jobs that the workers must

The Peace of Europe

The negotiations now going on between the
representatives of the Union of Socialist Soviet
Republics and the British government will, more
than any other event now on the horizon of inter-
national affairs, determine the developments of
Europe for some time to come.
In those conferences between the spokesmen of
the first Workers and Farmers Republic on one
side, and the British Labor government and big
bankers the other side, lies the hope for the
peace of Europe for the next decade. Soviet Rus
STA is anxious to be at peace with the world Soviet
Russia abounds in natural resources and teens
with the supplies needed by the rest Of the world
But the Soviet Republic inherited broken-down
industrial organization which at its best was inefi
cient and underdeveloped for meeting the needs
of the vast country and the great Russian popula-
ton. The various counterrevolutions financed by
the foreign capitalist groups after the masses
turned their backs the imperialist war have
only served to aggravate the ills of economic back
wardness
Today the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics is
anxious to rebuild the country and to organize
an efficient system of industry and exchange that
will serve the proletarian and rural masses. To
wards this end much capital is needed. At this
date, with the capitalist class supreme in every
country of the world except Soviet Russia, this
capital must be secured from the capitalists who
still control the means of production and exchange
in the other countries. Hence, Soviet Russia is
willing to make concessions to these foreign CAPT
taists and to permit them to operate within its
boundaries provided they adhere to the labor laws
of the land
The workers and peasants Soviet republic has
gone a long way toward giving up many immediate
interests in order to secure the peace Of Europe.
For instance the Roumanian brigands have been
allowed to over-run and pillage the rich Russian
land Of Besserabia and the Polish hangmen have
been given more rest than they deserve, simply be
cause Soviet Russia is anxious to be at peace with
its neighbors. A confagration on the Danube or
a war on the Polish frontier can prove only the
signal for new world slaughter. In view of these
considerations it is now the turn of the Mac.
Donald government to force the Lombard Street
bankers to make some concessions to the Soviet
republics and to grant them the loan they need
for reconstruction.
If the Macdonald group will exercise as much
pressure the bankers for this peace loan as they
brought to bear the English working masses
for war loans in the past then the peace of Europe
will be assured for long time to come.

state board. has 100000 of the ST.

to the state parole board asking that
a pardon be granted to Cy Thomson
who stole almost million and a qu-
-arter from the HORNED company and
was sent to states prison.
"Cy was no innocent country lad

He was man of ability and clever
or he could not have put over the en-
ormous theft that was so skilfuily hid
den that his books passed OK.
"Cy Thomson has never accounted
for the immense sum of $400 900 which
was part of the $1,1S7 900 he stole
If he would make restitution of this
amount, that he is suspected of hav-
ing hidden to recompense him for
the time he is serving in prison, he
would be more entitled to sympathy. .

Knights Hold
Meeting Here
TEAM FROM MINNEAPOLIS EX-
EMPLIFYS THIRD RANK WORK;
OTHER TOWNS REPRESENTED.

The Knights of Pythias of this sec.
tion of the state met in Redwood Falls
Sunday and Monday for a genera
meeting, the closing session of which
was lodge meeting at the armory
when ten candidates were initiated in.
to the Third Rank. The company num-
bered about two hundred fifty mem.
bers and the towns represented in ad-
dition to the city of Minneapolis were
Lamberton, Tracy, Montevideo, ST
James, Lake Crystal, Candy and Red
wood Falls. Harry Lund of Mime
apolis Past Royal Visier, gave a splen-
did talk at the Church of Christ Sun
day evening, and a second talk on the
work of the order, during the secret
session Monday evening The candi-
dates were residents of Tracy, ST
James and Redwood Falls.
The Minneapolis guests arrived
Sunday at various times, practically
all of them coming in their own cars
The only deviation from the program
as announced was the omission of the
Ramsey Park Band Concert, the
Dokey Band, through misunderstood
ing, not arriving in time to play this
concert. The Knights present Sunday
evening attended the service at the
Church of Christ where E. P. Gabriel
had charge of the service, Attorney
Harry Lund giving the address of the
occasion.
Monday, guests from the other
towns arrived and the day was spent
in getting acquainted, the visiting
Knights being accorded the courtesy
of the Commercial Club rooms, Hotel
Ramsey and several homes. A parade
was featured at six o'clock just be-
fore the service of the banquet at the
armory. This banquet was prepared
and served by the Pythian Sisters and
was a delicious dinner beautifully
served. Following the banquet the
-armory was cleared for the regular
work of the evening including the in
itiation and the drill work given by
the Minneapolis patrol team. Follow
ing this work the ladies were the gu
.ests of the Knights at an informal
dance held for several hours. Music
for the dancing was furnished by the
colored musicians brought by the Min
neapolis visitors.
In spite of disagreeable weather the
meeting was well attended by the
Knights from outside the city and due
to the fine hospitality shown by the
resident Knights, everyone enjoyed a
rffleasurable time In addition to this,
much impetus was given to the work
of the Order through the splendid ex-
emplifcation of work and through the
two excellent talks by Mr.. Lund.
Much of. the social success was due to
the Pythian Sisters who prepared the
banquet and who assisted the host
during the social gathering following
the regular meeting. The visiting
ladies were guests of the Pythian Sist-
ers at Bridge in the X. P. hall dur
ing the time the men were in session
at the armory.
