Martin Durkin, sunman and killer,
is in trouble. lie SO far has found IL
impossible TO procure sufficient funds
TO sustain his case before the court.
More than that the newspapers Of
Chicago have refused to hear his
relatives plea to publish the story Of
his life, and the movies Of Chicago
have placed ban upon proposed pic
tufes in which his wife was TO appear.
The plan To create public sentiment in
his favor has fallen flat, so far.
Durkin, like many criminals, blames
society and the officers Of the law.
Doubtless Dufkin was inspired by cir
cumstances over which he had no con-
troll, TO become murderer and thief
and bandit, but now that he is cought
society declares that he must suffer
punishment.
However, there is vein of truth in
Durkin's defense. Society permits
the exploitation of crime in the press
and on the screen to an extent that
thousands of boys are inspired to be-
come criminals through seeing crime
in FINLAND or reading of the glowing
reeds of highwaymen until they are
thoroughly saturated with crime.
OF all classes the children Of labor
ingmen are the most seriously affect
ed, probably because there are more
Of them. They are reared with few OF
the Injuries that children crave, and
consequently are susceptible to temp
tations which should be more easily
spurned by the more fortunate chill
dren who are reared in good homes.
Durkin should have sympathy, but
it will be better for him that he suffer
just punishment. II will also be
better for society that he be punished,
yet it is high time that the diseases
that are at the root of crime be
stamped out, and there is no class
that can do this more effectively than
the members of Organized Labor.

SQUIBB SAYS:
MammOn to Blame
My SAM SQUIBR
International President, Granite Cut
ters' Association.

A sa people we have crowned Bust
ness as our king. He has gathered his
courtiers around him, and they have
established sordid mercenary stand
ards as the measure of success in life.
Respect and honor is shown those
who flout law and ride rough shod
over the common principles of decen-
cy to get money providing the amount
obtained is large enough. Under such
conditions it is only natural that
others take less subtle and more direct
methods TO get money.
Hundreds of years ago it was said
that Money is the root of all evil"
This applies with its greatest force
today, because the examples of the
means used to build up great FORUM
es during the war period and since
are responsible for the moral break
down today.

Organized Labor has achieved a
noteworthy victory in gaining the en-
dorsement and hearty support of Cen
eral W. w. Atterbury, president of
the Pennsylvania railroad, in the fight
before the senate committee TO secure
endorsement of the new Railway La
Dor Act.
The Pennsylvania railroads presi-
dent has rendered Organized Labor of
America an agreeable surprise in
coming out fiat footed in his support
of the proposed act. Heretofore he
has been the most outstanding oppon-
net of Labor legislation before all
senate committees, though his pre-
yious attitude was maintained while
a subordinate official of the railroad,
having been elevated to the office of
president within the last year.
The act contains many clauses that
will be advantageous to Labor, prom
inent among which is clause which
outlaws the injunction method of
dealing with strikes, though the in
junction is not dealt with in specific
terms
me pasi.c. too, is protected in a
way which has not been in prior laws.
The act still has a difficult road to
travel before becoming a law, even
with the senate committees endorse
ment. There will be bitter fight to
so modify several important clauses
80 as to render them void. But the
opening battle has been won decisive
ly, and both capital and Labor seem to
be satisfied.

THE number and the variety of opinions expressed by

One Of the most noted figures in
the World War, Cardinal MERCER, of
Belgium, has passed to his reward,
but his influence upon world thought
and morals will abide centuries after
his body has turned TO dust.
At the death and burial of a great
ecclesiastical leader such as Cardinal
Aercier, all narrow prejudice is for
the tins forgotten, and the religious
world stands in reverence as it views
the deeds Of true man.
Cardinal Mercier, while a true
Catholic, was great humanitarian
and deserves and has tho respect OF
all broad minded religlomsts without
Fegard to denominahonalism.

they employers, in order to gain SYM
patty and the moral support of a
credulous public, were hand-in-hand

into paying agencies large sums of
mony for protection against terror

MOYER SAYS
Dry Law Responsible!
BY CHAS. II. MOVER.
President, international Uunion o
Mine. Mill and Smelter WOrkers,

The man who has a small quantity
of liquor in his possession is under the
present law a criminal, and under the
laws of Colorado he may be sent 10
the penitentiary for possession.
The individual has not murdered
anybody, neither is he "stick-up"
man or a thief, yet under the law he
is not only Nriminal but an ex-
convict when he comes out.
While there may be and undoubted-
ly are other causes that contribute to
present day crime increase. it is my
conviction that the attempt to enforce
criminals than all other causes.

Trenton, L. j., Jan. ga fear that
agriculture is headed for general
labor union movement was expressed
by DR.. Liberty Hyde Bailey, former
dean of the college of agriculture,
Cornell university, in an address to
churchmen.
DR.. Bailey said many farmers are
devoting too much attention to market
reports and financial statistics, rather
than being primarily interested in land
production.
While the educator was pleading for
Washington are striving to solve what
will be done with the surplus that
American farmers grow. There are
wide differences over a solution. but
all agree that the surplus exists.

control, What has party politics to
do with drainage. coming, bus trans
portation, administrative reorganiza
ton, tax reform, workingmen's insur-
ance,i or any other matter of domes-
tic concern? A man should be known
for:~his level head rather than for
his skill in political chicanery.
DIR. w. We Folwell has lecture on
the Organization of. the Electorate"
In this piece of matured wisdom he
describes a desirable condition in
which neighborhood builds for it
self meeting place where it's in
.habitants can meet on common level
to discuss just such matters as are
the concern of legislatures. Any
citizen would be welcomed if clothed
and in his right mind, regardless of
his race, party, or previous condition
7of servitude., Perhaps if we would
take. his advice seriously and carry
it out, incidental reforms would ap-
pear and shifty politicians would lose
their influence.
I We have now nOn-party organiza-
tions which are doing more to effect
desirable legislation and to offset ten
dency to vicious laws than all politi-
cal organization can or will do. No
tably among these is the League of
Women Voters. The Civic AID Com
meree Association, Central Labor
Union, Commonwealth Club, Satur-
day Lunch Club, Parents and Teach
ers' Associations, Teachers League
and Teachers Federation, and many
other groups may be of use to guide
the representatives in their work.
What is really needed is a more ac-
tive civic spirit and not more politics.
Voters should more wildly realize
the importance of the state legisla-
ture, and not leave the selection and
election of candidates to the preda-
tory and selfish interests. Educate
the people and arouse their intelligent
interest and safety is assured.

A SHORT SENTENCE
CAN'T DO JUSTICE
TO WRITER OF THIS

The proposal to install a printing
plant in the state prison should be
given the benzine brush. Proof of it's
desirability is missing. If found, it
will need correcting.
If a man is sentenced to prison,
that is one thing. Why impose SEN
tence within a sentence?
Prisoners are of various types, of
course. "Pi" would agree with some.
But others would be put out of sorts
and might begin smuggling. Further
more there is danger in handing keys
to prisoners and instructing them in
the technique of lookup. Pressmen
would make ready to escape. Natur-
ally the guards would give chase, but
at the cost of marring furniture.
Inmates are sufficiently familiar
with makeup and bold face without
the need Of further apprenticeship
on these points. Likewise there is
good reason to hold back on shooting
sticks.
Modern penology, on the other
hand. does not tolerate making a

NONPOSTAGE STAMPS
ON FOREIGN MAIL

The season is not far away when
it will become quite general to at
tach adhesive stamps or labels on
mail to foreign countries. In this
connection we call attention to a rul-
ing by the postal department which
forbids the sender to attach non
postage stamps, such as Christmas
seals, to the address side of the let
ter or article mailed. Such stamps
must be attached on the back.
Any foreign mail which has Christ
mas seals or other nonpostage stamps
attached on the address side will be
returned to the sender if known,
otherwise sent to the dead letter Of
flee.
Mail which is intended for delivery
in Denmark or other surrounding
European countries before Christmas
should be dispatched from here not
later than Dec. 8.
The postal department expects to
handle a larger volume of mail this
Christmas than ever before, and pa
irons are again strongly urged tor
mail early.

The following is taken from an
address by DR.. Cyrus Northrup,
former president of Minnesota
University, and delivered in 1906:
fear that the home training of
our. boys is not what it ought to be
and that the straining after a luxuri-
GUS or snowy life on the part of par
ents, sets bad example before the
children and makes them feel that
the great object of life is to get mon
ey. How much better for us all to be
satisfied with a simple life. How
much better to try to make as much
ofGourselves intellectually and spirit
ually rather than to get as much as
we can of material wealth. And how
much better for our children to see
us contented with comfort and i'm
proving in. character, rather than
striving by honest and dishonest
means to become more wealthy than
our neighbors. Let us all resume
our: common, sense and live for what
makes life worth living.

public schools are doing. But would
rather willingly sacrifice a part of
the present educational work if more
work could be done in the training of
character. What the rising gener-
alton needs is thorough instruction in
the fundamental principles of right
and wrong, and a settled determine
ton to do what is right and not to do
what is wrong.
The teacher who inspires in the
minds of his pupils an enthusiasm for
the right is the teacher for the times,
and he has chance to do for the
country a much needed work that
neither our churches nor our homes
are doing properly now.

: The immense fortunes which have
been: accumulated by various persons
in this country seem to me to be a

menace to our national welfare-not
necessarily in themselves, but on ac-
count of the. way in which they have
been gained. And my apprehension
is not diminished in any great degree
by the fact that the owners of these
immense fortunes, are, some of them
at least, giving to various excellent
objects, educational, philanthropic,
or religious, unprecidentedly large
gifts ;. The very lavishness Of
these. gifts is a peril.
That men should be able to accum-
ulate wealth to such an extent that
they can year after year give in char
ity tens of millions of dollars, and
that mainly out of their yearly in
come without impairing their capital,
when most men cannot earn a thou
sand dollars a year, and the earnings
of their whole lives would be but a
trifle compared with the gain that the
pluocrats can make in single day
by simply shifting things around
without creating penny of new
value is an object lesson to the
young men of America, the influence
of which / canot but read as an in
citement to forsake the ways of hon
est industry and to enter the field of
uncertain, dangerous and demoraliz-
ing speculation on the one hand, or of
speculation, grating and theft on the
other. l dread the influence upon the
coming generation of seeing men
holding hundreds of millions of dol
lars which confessedly. they have not
earned and lavishly scattering mil
lions beside which the largest accum-
ulations of genuine honest labor sink
into insignificance. s..
My hope for the future of the coun-
try rests in no small degree upon the
farmers of the land. Welcome
the new education fer 1.-The farmer
welcome the new farmer-but thrice
welcome the great army of farmers
in every state of the union, who are
content to live the simple life of in
dustry, health, comfort and honesty
who march under the banner so
nobly unfurled by our, president
(Roosevelt), square deal for every
one. ~
If such a square deal is ever. Sc
cured it must be and it will be,
through the sagacity, unselfishness
and patriotism of the men who live
in the country and whom either temp
tation cannot assail, or whom noble
principles grandly cherished till they
have produced characters rendered in
capable Of yielding to temptation.
Let our motto be "for country and
for one another" Let us all do what
we can to establish high standard
of honor for public and private life
alike.

THE ANNUAL MEETING
OF BOYS, GIRLS. CLUBS

Due to heavy rains and poor roads
the Boys and Girls club meeting at
the Hinckley high school Saturday
only gathered a small crowd.
County Leader w. F. Hammargren
called the forenoon session to order
at II a. M, announcing that he had
now received the prizes from the
State Fair to be distributed in the
near future.
The rules for club work have been
slightly changed for f926-27 as fol-
lows:
1. Observation-Disclosures ex-
tended to Aug. Is. The state contest
is to be made a contest of the four
districts like in garment making this
year.
2. Canning-To be started around
May 1, and report finished Oct. Is.
3. Dairy Calf Should be selected
in fall or winter. Not born later than
Jan 1, 1927, and not older than Ii
months by Sept. 1, for first year pro-
ject. No enrollments can be made
after May 1.
4. Pig Project-Mr. Hammargren
suggested that some boys take up
club work with pure bred Yorkshire
gilt for breeding. He would purchase
gifts for us, paid for with part of
litter.
5. Lamb Project-This is a very
profitable line now; the state cham
pion at Junior Livestock Show, South
st. Paul being sold for $500 per
pound. Only lambs of high grade and
born after Jan. 1, 1927, can be en-
tered; 100 lbs. is considered proper
weight at the end of contest.
6. Poultry Project = Chickens
Matched before middle of May, four
months being the proper age by time
of County Fair. Standard breeds on
ly to be entered. Heavy breeds will
be most profitable.
Efforts will be made this year to
organize demonstration teams, one
for each line of club work, to be
appointed by the county leader. Spe-
cial interest will be taken in health
demonstration.
The afternoon session was opened
at 1 o'clock IT,.
1t was planned and accepted to Or
ganize all clubs in Pine county in
order to have clubs working together
and in the same line. From 600 to
700 boys and girls will be in this Or
ganization called the Junior Exten-
sion Organization. l.
A temporary board was nominated,
selecting as president, Muriel Ziegler,
Hinckley; vice president, Omar Hol-
land, Pine City, and secretary, Inge-
borg Kilstofte, Askov.
Final election will be at the Sand
stone high school Saturday, Nov. 20,
where all club members from the
county should be present to vote.
