One Man Governments
AJyvoVg ~ EoiIuro.

Max Harden, German writer who
broke the German autOcracy with his
pen, writing behind the war lines
vigorously says Benito Mussolini is
the only European statesman with
scope and vision. And Stanley Bald
win, English premier, moderately
Says that Fascist methods would not
be tolerated in England.
Both statements are probably cor
rect. Mussolini has the advantage of
knowing exactly what he wants and
a. purpose to work for it ruthlessly.
Democratic principles he scorns. Says
they are sentiment and child play. He
hews straight ahead and strikes down
all who stand in his path.
His methods would not work in
England. Nor would they work in Am
erica In a democracy human rights
come first We 90 not like dictator
ship.
The history of one-man government
is a scroll Of ultimate failure. When
the man goes the system pumps. He
has not educated his people beyond
submissiveness and they cannot carry
on his ideas.
A democracy seeks to train the indi-
vidual so all have a hold on the reins
of government The idea depends up
on no one man but upon all men.
When leaders pass out they are re-
placed without a ripple.

Trouble with mixing business and
pleasure is you are liable to ruin both
of them.
Nothing is permanent in this life,
and among the most temperament
things is the permanent wave.
If it is cheaper to buy the best,
poor pa wonders how deeply in debt
he would be if mother had made the
mistake of buying cheap things.
When young fellow values money
lightly it is quite safe to conclude
that his dad earned the money.
The man with six children knows
more about shoes than the man who
makes shoes.

The Primary Law Killed
the Democratic Party

Ill WISCONSIN,
The Democratic party has long
ceased to be "a factor in Wisconsin
politics, a regrettable condition re-
garded with sadness even by Repub-
licans. And in reviewing causes for
the demise we are forced to believe
that the democrats themselves and
the Wisconsin primary law are the
ones to be indicted for the killing off
Being in a minority party the few
Democrats remaining have repeatedly
Jumped their ticket" and voted in
the Republican primary. The law
permits them to do this. The effect
was to gradually eliminate the DEM
ocrat party until at one time it fell
behind the Socialist wing and ceased
to be a factor. OF course this Jump
ing beclouded the result in the Re
publican primary because it prevented
a true expression of opinion among
the real Republicans. In all ways it is
harmful.
If the Democrats really "knew their
stuff" that is, really knew what de-
mocracy is and what it stands for, the
party would have a good chance in
this state. even now. A good many
people are sick of the repeated en-
croachments of federal authority
which in its prime sense is Republi-
canism, and would support a party
which stood for less government and
more individual responsibility which
is what Democracy is in its prime
sense.
But neither Democrats or Republi-
cans know their doctrine. If you
doubt this ask man of either side
why he belongs to that party. In nine
cases out of ten if he would reply he
would say: Because my father be-
longed to it." A candid it not an in
telligent answer. And most partisans
belong to a side for no other reason.

Continue Survey of
MiSsissippi River

MGREGOR, IA crew of twelve
men aboard a government steamer
are at work at present on the upper
Mississippi making a typographical
survey of both sides of the river be-
tween McGregor and the mouth of the
Chippewa river. 1t is the first survey
of this kind taken of this stretch of
the river in fifteen years, and, is ex-
pected, when completed, to show the
government engineers what further
work will have to be done to complete
the project to make channel of not
less than six foot depth at olwest wa
ter.
All dams and shore protection are
being located and soundings taken at
various points of the course. Work
on the survey was started October 6.

Prosecute
Roth Sides.

The Herald has expressed a criti-
cal view of those who seek to get eY-
idence in liquor cases by means OF
frames" and another critical view OF
those who seek to obtain release for
men held on liquor charges by means
of technicalities. This may seem in
consistent but it is not. In both points
of view ultimate justice and fairness
come first We do not like the spec
tacle of officers swinging hoOtch in
order to swear that it is a beverage
and we do not like to see bootleggers,
caught in the act get off scot-free be-
cause the officers making the arrest
failed in some minor manner in his
procedure.
Common sense indicates that an Of
ficer cannot use Grassland methods
in dealing with bootleggers who oper-
ate with high-powered motor cars.
The bird flies before the officer can
identify the suspect and procure a
search warrant. AS it stands liquor
transport by means of a motor car is
practically assured a safe conduct.
And common sense also indicates
that if officers act in a high-handed
manner in making search and seizure,
destroy property other than that used
in an Illegal manner or make any in
reference with personal rights they
should be prosecuted without fear o.
favor

Vera Gordon is coming to the
Earle Theater in person next
week. Miss Gordon's career Of
historic accomplishments reached
its height with her magnificent
performance of the mother in
"Humoresque," but the height
was not the top to Miss Gordon.
So she quit the pictures and came
to vaudeville. Here her reputa-
ton entitled her to headline hon
ors, but she was not content to
rest upon her reputation as she
created a. vaudeville reputation
of her own and became a bill
topper purely because of her
acting ability and not because
she had gained fame in "Humor-
esque."
For Miss Gordon Edgar Allan
Woolf and William Siegel wrote
a comedy drama entitled "Amers
ica," human and humorous
incident of the immigration with
the scene the gateway to Ellis
Island. The authors provided
Miss Gordon with a part thor
Oughly to her liking-a woman
from Southern Europe with a
heart as big as her body seeking
