OBITUARY

John Albert johnson was born
February 2, 1871 at Locust Lane,
Iowa. He was a lifelong member of
the Lutheran church, serving at the
time of his death as trustee of the
local Lutheran church.
On September %, 1904, he was
married to Miss Mollie Oberg of Mt.
Hareb, Wis. They established their
home at Harmony, Mimi, at which
place they resided till 1910, when
they moved to Plentywood, Mont,
where they have been successfully en-
gagged in the mercantile business ev-
er since.
Mr.. Johnson had for nearly five
years fought his battle with the dis
ease which finally took him. But in
spite of all that medical skill could
do, he passed away Friday morning,
September 18, 1925, casting a deep
gloom over the city and entire com
munity, aged 81 years, Z months and
16 days.
Besides his wife and two children,
Alden and Ruby, he leaves TO mourn
his loss six brothers: Ben johnson of
Torquay, Sask., Martin, of Decorah,
Iowa, Sam, Julius, Theodore and Hell
mer of Harmony, Minnesota. Also
three sisters: Mrs. Ida Oistad and
Mrs. Bertha Oistad of Harmony,
Mimi, and Mrs. Hilda Maland of
Swanville, MINI.
Funeral services were held from
the home at Plentywood Sunday Sep
tember 20 at 1920 and from the La
theran church at HOO a. M, where a
large circle of friends acqIaintances
and business associates had assembled
to Pay their tribute of respect 20 the
deceased who commanded their fullest
confidence.
The large assembly and protusion
of flowers gave silent testimony to
the esteem in which the deceased was
held The Sunday school of the ccn-
gregatlon placed wreath On his cas-
ke: i'll the form of $1,000 given to
mission n his memory.
The remains were sent 20 Harnrrc
Minn., for interment.
The sympathy of all is with the
family in their sad hour of bereave-
ment.

The annual statistical report was
forwarded to the State Department
last week. Following are some of
the interesting facts it shows. The
number of children in this county be-
tween the ages of six and 21 was
3,404; the number above 16 who can
neither read nor write, 1; average
number of days taught in elementary
schools 1915, in high schools 1855;
number original enrollments 1895;
average daily attendance 2261; per-
centage of attendance 93.7; total
number times tardy 1909; total num-
Der teaching positions 1856; total num-
Der individuals employed as teachers
during year 152. There is often a
good excuse for absence, but rarely
a good excuse for hardness. Habitu-
al hardness is an indication of shift
lessness and teachers should not toll
crate it. We are ashamed of the
5000 tardinesses last year. The
teachers registers show that the
great majority of these tardinesses
were made by comparatively few
families.

BAN ON BRITISH
M. P. PROTESTED
BY CTVILLB. UNION

New York, Sept. 19th.-VigOr-
GUS opposition to the State De-
partment's policy of barring
alien visitors because of their pO-
itical opinions has been under
taken by the American Civil Liber-
ties Union in connection with eX-
clusiOn of Shapurii Saklatvala,
Communist member of the British
Parliament. The Union has cabl-
ed Saklatvala in London offering
legal aid in the event he wishes to
test the ruling of Secretary Kel-
lOgg, provided there is any way
of bringing the matter before the
courts, and is also organizing a
mass meeting of protest In New
York.
Secretary KeIlOgg's ruling on
Saklatvala is compared to the De-
partment's gag last year on Count
Michael KarOIyi, distinguished
Hungarian democrat, in a. state
ment which charges the Depart
ment with acting in behalf of the
British government. The state
ment says:
''This is the second case in a
year in which the State Depart
ment has Disseminated against a
distinguished fOreigned because
of his political views. The gag
ging of Count Michael KarOlyi,
the first president of the short
lived Hungarian Republic revers-
ed American traditions of a cen
tury. The exclusion of Saklat-
vala makes that reversal look
like a settled policy of the pres
ent administration. Under the
law, the exclusion probably comes
within the scope of the immigra-
tiOn act, but it is wholly unwise
from the pOin of view of public
policy. It attaches a far greater
importance to communist views
than they merit and raises an
issue on which thousands of
American people can stand the
discussion of any subject and that
it is foolish to put taboo on any
ideas.
ct looks as if the State Depart
ment were achieving what the
British government itself desires
and which it could not do directly
against one of the members of its
own Parliament. Saklatvala, we
understand, was not coming to
advocate communism in the Unit
ed States but to attack British
Imperialism, particularly in rela-
tiOn to India, his native land. The
British government of course
would prefer to have him exclud-
ed" a6hf

New York, Sept. 21.-In barring
the British communist Saklatvala
from the United States, the state
department has been used by the
Baldwin government ''to pull chest
nuts out of the fire." Senator Thomas
J. Walsh, of Montana, declared Mon
day when he arrived on the Levia-
than.
CITES CORRESPONDENCE
''It smacks to me of an effort to
help the Baldwin government out of
a hole," the senator said. 'I saw,
before I left England, a letter adj
dressed by a member of parliament
to the chairman of the British group
to the ter-parliamentary union in
which he declined to attend as
member because this man had been
barred as a co-member. Then I saw
another letter making a pleading ap-
peal to this sensitive member to with
draw his objection.
cit was not difficult for me to di-
vine a pertinent political quarrel
were the said individual to gain some
political standing by evidence cf hos
tility to the communists.
''I have no doubt that the British
government was appealed to either to
withhold or revoke the passport of
this Objectionable member and that it
was conferred with and an embar-
RAISING situation escaped by reason
thereof. This situation, it was pleas
antly relieved from by the action of
the state department"
LIQUOR BAR CUTS INCOMES
In considering the war debt of
France and Italy to the United
States, Senator Walsh said, this gov
ernment should recognize that "in a
very just sense We have added to
those debts" by the adoption cf pro-
hibition. The dry laws, he pointed
out, have cut off one of the valuable
revenue producing exports of the
debtor nations.
"I objected to the settlement with
Great Britain" he continued. "I do
not believe we should allow a rate
of interest lower than we ourselves
are paying"
The increased duties on imports un-
der the tariff act now operating also
have an effect on the ability of for
eign nations to meet their obligations,
he asserted.

said Kellogg had become 'imbued

Saklatvala expressed the opinion
the secretary of state by his cancel

regulating inter-parliamentary con-
ferences, and had "disregarded ordin-
ary laws Of political decency."

Americans are afraid of the truth"

I cannot go Saturday, but I am con-
