courageous Vision" Tribute of
New Hampshire Member.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 49, - Beginning
with a few jabs, in jest and in
earnest, at senatorial Investigations.
United States Senator Moses of New
Hampshire last night ran up the scale
from the Constitution. through state
rights, to tax reduction, stopping
midway to add a measure of praise
for the courage and capabilities OF
President Coolidge. in an address be-
fore the National Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association.
Explaining that he was chairman
of three Senate investigating com
mltteeS and member of fourth.
senator Moses criticized the trend of
some Investigations now underway,
but concluded with the promise that
any evil found will be brought to
light and responsible ones punished.
He spoke of the senatorial belief in
the heaven born gift of inveStiga-
tion" and descrite ed the inquiries as
stalking across the center of the
stage at Washington - divorces,
drunks, divekeeperS. dope tiendS, dis
gruntled. discharged government en-
ployes: reformed bandits, people out
OF a job and any one with griev-
ance.''
''One little fact has been proved.
1t is shown that one in prominent
position told one unnecessary and
wholly futile lie and on that the whole
structure of this scandal that is
alarming the country has been built
UP.
out of all this confusion emerges
one clean-cut. sane, courageous Wis
iona President who knows the
needs of the country and stands ready
to serve those needs with his utmost
power"

NATIONAL LECTURER
GIVES PUBLIC TALK
1900 People Hear Khan Address
At Muscatine
ArmOry

MUSCATINE, IA, March 8.-Dr. G.
c. Minor of the national lecture bur-
eau Of the Knights of the Ku Kiux
Khan gave a public address at the
armory here one evening the past
week, when the principles of the or
der were explained to all who cared
to listen.
1t is estimated that 1900 people
filled the armory and were we'll
pleased with the lecture.
Following the public gathering, DR..
Minor talked to the members of the
local Khan in their Klavern.
After the lecturers visit, many
Americans in this city expressed
their desire to become members Of
the Khan.
Although two reporters of local
newspapers attended the meeting,
not one line concerning it or any
thing that was said, appeared in the
press.
Rumor has it here, that the Khan
was successful in the recent election
in putting over the mayor by a ma
jerity Of more than 1000 votes.

ANNIVERSARY IS
HELD ON MARCH 4
Said to Be Fastest Growing
Municipality in United
States
HAS MANY INDUSTRIES
Fort Smelling, Founded in 1920,
Termed One of Best i'm
Country

ST. PAUL, March 4.-St. Paul today
celebrated its seventy-ffth anniver-
sary as the capital city of Minnesota.
1t is far cry from the present
time to the time of the first real es-
tate transfer to Jonathan Carver in
1867 when Hawnopawjatin and Otoh-
tongoomlisheaw, chiefs of the In
dams of the Sioux nation surrendered
the tract of land from the Falls of
st. Anthony running on the east bank
of the Mississippi, nearly southeast,
as far as Lake Pepin, where the Chip
pewa joins the Mississippi and from
thence five days travel, accounting
twenty English miles per day and
from thence again to the Falls of St.
Anthony on a direct straight line"
City property values today furnish
tangible proof of the city's develop
ment.
St. Paul ended 1923 as the second
fastest growing city per capita in
the United States, according to fig
ures compiled by Mayor Nelson.
1t was the thirteenth city in the
United States in actual volume of
building permits last year and yet is
but the thirty-fifth city in point of
size. In South St. Paul great pack
ing industry is growing rapidly; with
in a radius of $50 miles from St.
Paul is contained the greatest dairy
section in the world, the automobile
industry is we'll developed, and, last
but not least, St. Paul is the scene
yearly of the greatest state fair in
the world.
In 1920 the corner stone for Fort
Smelling was laid. On the last visit
of General Pershing it was termed
lone of the best in the United States.
In 1888 Pierre Parrant, first settler,
built log cabin near Fountain Cave.
This year there will be S6,000,000
spent in school construction alone.
In 1910 Joseph Rono purchased Ed
ward Phelan's claim for $780, This
year St. Paul will spend 100000
for trunk line sewers and $S,000,000
will be spent for streets, roads, and
bridges in the city and county.
The first balloon ascension was
made in 1857 by w. Markoe, S. S.
Eaton and H. H. Barnes, and today
st. Paul boasts of the first National
Guard aero squadron in the world
On April Is, 1861, the first call for
troops in the Civil war was received,
and four days later the first company

was organized. This year the ma
tional convention of the American
Legion will be held here.

MINNESOTA POTATO
GROWERS ORGANIZE
Steps Taken to Incorporate 81
Gopher State Associa-
items


MINNESOTA, March 3.-Initial
steps were taken today for incorpor-
ating 81 associations in connection
with the organization of the new
Minnesota Potato Growers exchange.
A meeting for this purpose was
held in offices of the general state
organization committee, 319 Com
merce building. Attending were
Aaron Sapiro, California attorney
and nationally known cooperative
marketing specialist; S. G. Rubinow,
Minnesota campaign manager; j. F..
Reed, president, Minnesota Farm
Bureau federation; N. J. Holmberg,
state agricultural commissioner; F.
w. Peck, state agricultural college;
j. A. Monson, chairman of the state
committee; Walter Oby, treasurer:
Edward Barr, secretary; Marius Wal
dial, vice chairman and other agri-
cultural leaders.
The meeting followed the close of
the successful campaign when more
than 10000 Minnesota farmers sign
ed contracts, covering an acreage of
more than $4,000, to market their
potatoes comparatively through the
new exchange.
Mr.. Sapiro arrived yesterday from
Winnipeg to aid in the work of in
corporation of the various county as
sociations.
The 10-months' organization cam
paign ended Saturday with quotas
being passed for both members and
acreage.
The new exchange will be the larg-
est cooperative marketing body in
the United States.
1.-THE potato campaign in Minneso-
ta," said Mr.. Sapiro, lis among the
most outstanding successes in the
history of cooperative marketing in
this country. In no other campaign
has the quota been so far oversign-
ed within the time limit"
There was such a rush of contracts
as the campaign closed that it will
be several days before the exact
membership is known.

DERHAPS one of the most

DERHAPS one of the most
l. highly perfected sins of our
modern civilization is grating"
Wherever you turn, you see men
who have been led astray by Sa-
tanic influences. The subtle
whispers of the Graft-Devil made
them think that nobody would
find out" So they took the long
chance, jeopardizing thereby hon.
or, position, reputation and the
happiness of those who are near
and dear. The first step seemed
to prove the Graft-Delil's lies.
Deeper and deeper the victims
of delusions wandered into the
dark caves of the Graft-Devil.
Truth will out. A day of reck-
oning inevitably comes and, alas,
the fearfulness of the penalty.
The victims of the Graft-Devil
pathetically insist that they did
not intend to steal. Maybe not.
They stand, however, guilty of
the prostitution of a place of
public trust, for personal and
selfish ends. In a heap of wreck
age falls a life, once carefully
lived. A black stigma is placed,
not only upon the CRATER, but
his family. Bitter wakes the
struggle of re-establishment as
the victims of the Graft-Devil at
tempt to live down the past. We
can hear them sigh as they say,
1T might have been different"
