The common people want peace.

The common people want peace.
10 achieve that goal the govern
ments must get together, reach GER
tain conclusions, certain compromis-
eS.
The road is long and the obstacles
very real, but it is not likely that any
government will place insurmount-
able hindrances of the way. There
must be mutual concessions, sacrific-
es of special interests.
Peace is not to be achieved with
out effort, without renunciations.
The United States will not stay away
from this struggle. Whether it joins
the League of Nations formally or
not, it must sit at the common coun-
Gil table of the great powers and add
its influence in the direction desired
by the great majority of the Amer
lean people.
American entry in the world court
appears assured, both parties having
made promises to that effect.
The greatest recent achievements
of the Republican party have been
the Washington arms conference and
the Dawes commission. On this road
the party is sure to continue. The
president has declared himself fav-
orable to the calling of an other arms
conference as soon as circumstances
permit.
Now he has committed himself to
participation in the application Of
the economic experts report. Prob
ably nothing could have more whole
some influence on Germany.
The process will take a long time,
but with universal good will and a
determination to succeed, there is
hope ahead.-Christian Science Mon
itor.

THEORY is WRONG!

><A yOBODY thinks need the money. They
I'M think all I'm working for is pin mon
ey," complains bright young miss to
her friends, when speaking Of the Insignificant
salary she receives.
ss"Yes, and my employer thinks 1 get my
board and room free, seeing that I'm staying
at home with my parents" piped in another girl,
"hence my salary is correspondingly low."
"Well, my trouble is that the boss thinks
women are in industry only until they land hus
band. He considers me a temporary worker,
hence he does not feel it worth while to encour-
age me with increase in pay"
Theories such as these are hindering
working women, my friends" replied Mary Wins
low and Mary Robinson, both members of the
editorial staff Of the women's bureau, United
States department of labor. "The time has
come when facts, not fancies, must be consid-
cred in the employment of women"
'The first prejudice to discard is, you
say, the pin money theory What mischief it
has wrought in keeping women's wages low! Have
you believed that women work in order to get
money for feminine fripperies? Or have you
realized that the great bulk of women who work
in stores, factories, mills, laundries and restau
rants must earn money for the bare essentials
of life? Cold, hard facts and statistics collected
by the womens bureau prove that women have
to work to buy food and pay rent and frequent
ly to support dependents as well, and that the
size of their earnings is Of real significance.
Following closely on the heels of the pin
money theory is the idea that girls who live at
home can get along very low wages, since
their families will help to support them. This
idea is not only wrong-it is vicious. Frequently
instead of the family income serving as sup
plement to the girls wages, it is the girls wages
that forms the basis Of support Daughters lv-
ing at home must often support old or invalid
parents, or younger brothers and sisters.
Another theory to be discarded is that all
women are transients in the industrial world. The
truth is that number of women never marry,
but work forty or fifty years in industry Fur
thermore many women must continue to work
after marriage to keep the wolf from the door.
In the ranks of industrial toilers also many
widows who must be fathers as well mothers
to their children; who must be breadwinners as
well as homemakers.'
This latter theory lies back of another de-
plorable condition. Many women receive pure
ly academic training, with little or no vocational
training-al because the public expects their
careers outside of the home to be short-lived.
Thus, thousands of girls go into blind-alley jobs.
Because they have no training, they take the first
thing that is offered, even though it is a deadly
monotonous job with no future. The fact that
women do stick at trade, often for years, is
a plea for preliminary training for such trade,
so that women can get ahead.

'sThe Interests of
the United States

The American ambassador at the
court of ST. James, Frank b. kel-
logg, has been instructed to partici-
pate in the coming Allied conference
at London, "for the purpose of deal
ing with such matters as affect the
interests of the United States and
otherwise for the purposes of infor-
nation"
This is large order, and there will
be few sessions at which Mr.. Kellogg,
the ex-senator from Minnesota, will
not be an active participant, rather
than an observer. 1t represents a
step forward and should be marked
as such. "The interests of the
United States" is an elastic term, de-
pending in it's scope upon it's inter-
probation. 1t has been the key word
to the foreign policy of the Republi-
can administration, and in COMPARE
son with it's meaning in 1921 it has
gained in breadth. The lesson of the
past three years has not been lost.
From the weller of detail and pet
ty controversy attendant upon the
great national conventions of the ma
jor political parties in the United
States one fact stands out pre-emin-
ent and clear: The Uniform desire of
all groups, of all parties, of all sec
tions of public opinion for world
peace.
On that point there has been COM
plete unanimity. Whatever party
comes out of the approaching elect
oral contest with the mandate to
govern the country during the next
four years, it cannot be doubtful as
to the desire of the voters to have
peace restored throughout the world.
Until that is done, the interests of
the United States are bound to suf-
fer.
On this issue the voters of Eng
land, Germany and France have al
ready expressed themselves and
have reached virtual unanimity. In
no country have the Nationalists, the
Militarists, the war makers, won the
confidence of the people.
In the words of General Grant
they have all said, LET us have
peace"
From this determination there can
be no retrest; no return, no appeal.

Lafayette French, Jr., United States District
Attorney says that bootleggers are hiring men
to serve their sentences in some cases where
jails at considerable distance from the place
of trial are used as repositories for the prison
ers. The bootleggers in the meantime go on
and ply their nefarious trade. Of course this is
altogether wrong and Mr.. French and the others
are all out to put an end to it. But honestly
it does offer delicious" job for some of the
dangerous ones who don't mind continuous loaf
of thirty to ninety days.

In Murray County the Commissioners voted
against dispensing with the services of the
County Agent. The plea was made that the
81 800 paid the agent imposed great burden on
the taxpayers. Inasmuch as the commissioners
estimated that this amount meant paying only
ffty-four cents quarter section, or less than
third of per cent per acre, they deemed
there very little justification for such a
statement. Some "tax-reducers forget to talk
sense.

In view of the number Of those who did
not vote in 1920 it is reasonable to suspect that
like number will keep away from the polls next
November unless systematic effort is made in
every community to urge them to vote. 1t
would seem possible that in every city, village
and town an organization could be perfected
whose duty it shall be to get the voters to the
polls. What is everybodys business is nobody's
business, and nothing can be accomplished toward
the voting of all those who are entitled to vote.

The Duluth Herald has the following thou
offer on the Farmer LaF Gillette combination
it is a combination worthy of rather m
n a passing thought at that.
"On the advice of the party leaders,
the Socialist convention in Cleveland has
decided to support Mr.. La Toilette, and
to put up no candidates of its own.
NINETY per cent of those in Mime
sofa who are tempted, at this moment,
to support Senator La Toilette would
be insulted if they were accused, as they
sometimes ignorantly have been, of be-
ing Socialists. For they are not Social
lists, neither are they the sort of mater
ial out of which Socialists are made.
"The majority of them are farmers,
and if there is anybody on earth who is
devoted to and will cling stubbornly to
the institution of private property, it is
the farmer.
"The farmer is capitalist, and he
will fight to retain his private and I'M
challenged ownership of his piece of
land as vigorously as any "Wall Street"
magnate might fight to keep his stock in
a successful industrial corporation.
"Yet Senator La Toilette, with a NOM
nation from the Cleveland aggregation
of miscellaneous radical elements, now
has the official Endorsement of the So
cialist party, and no doubt he will pres
emily have the Endorsement Of the st.
Paul assemblage Of radical farmer-la-
Dor elements, which was dominated by
the Communists.
"How that situation is going to set
with the farmers of the Northwest is
yet to be seen but If the farmers of the
Northwest are as solid and sane and
well-balanced as they have been in the
past, it is not going to set well"

Editor West of the Morgan Messenger, in
stating that $4,000 has been paid to the beet
laborers in the vicinity of his town for "thin-
ning," says "The most of this money will be
spent among our business men for supplies and
groceries purchased by Mexican labor" That is
a pleasant little thing to believe, Harry, and of
course some of it will be. But lot of these
same dollars are used to purchase Mexican mon

Paul Dehnel, who was too free in his
expression of criticism of the United
States entering the World War, and
whose newspaper editorials injured the
work of the government in it's efforts to
build up victorious fighting army, was

venton at Cleveland which nominated
LaFollette for President. Paul was also
in Jail for his anti-war sentiments.
There were others from this state like
him. If they are patriotic citizens we

and Hanson. The editor has a per-
feet right to boost for Mr.. Hunt.
But he has no right to mis-state
facts in regard to his opponent, Mr..
Hanson. / quote from the article,
"Mr. Hanson points with pride to the
general tax measures which he sup
ported last session. None of them
passed so he is in the same position
as a physician who used his grave
yard patients as reference to his
SKILL"
The facts are that several tax bills
did pass both House and Senate.
The automobile bill for instance
brings in over $7,OOO,OOO a year. The
Secrecy Clause repealed brings in
several hundred dollars. And other
bills that relieves mill tax on real
estate.
In fact all tax bills passed the As
sembly by large majority. Some
of them with but four dissenting
votes in the House, but were defeat
ed in the Senate by one vote only and
others by 3 or A votes in the Senate.
So neither Mr.. Hanson nor the As
sembly are responsible for the grave
yard patients, that the editor of the
River Falls Journal speaks of. The
Senate must take the responsibility
for the killing of the tax bills.
