The recent spill that Henry Ford
had in his little "flivver", when
crowded off the road by a larger car,
causing injury to the automobile king,
was the result of much anxiety on
the part of millions throughout the
country. According to reports the
injury was not serious and Mr.. Ford
will recover. 1t appears to be just
another of those wild and vicious
stunts of smart-alecks in larger and
heavier car to ignore and crowd a
smaller car. 1t is reported that
the guilty ones are known, but Mr..
Ford, the only Millionaire in the
world and who had net profit of
$9O,OO0,0OO in one year, thirty mil
lions more than all of New York
City's trust companies combined,
again shows that he is a big man and
does not want to prosecute.

Opinion of Others
PATROLMAN WRITES

Editor Askov American:
want to congratulate Mr.. Rasmus-
sen for his bold attack on the county
road authorities in last weeks issue.
However as he does not give his idea
of building and maintaining a road
the article does not reveal anything
only sarcasm and lack of common in
telligence to give any helpful advice.
AS have been employed as patrol
man on one of the hardest roads in
the county for the last five years I
have all orders or instructions on file
and none of them gives us any right
to make such road as Mr.. Rasmus-
sen tries to describe, and no road en-
cheering can prevent the frost from
getting the road out of order under
heavy traffic at this time when the
frost is leaving. We all want good
roads and the public at large can
do much to save cost of maintaining.
1 am glad Mr.. Rasmussen is not a
mail carrier on my section. We have
two going over part of my route but
they both use teams now and as good
citizens don't try to throw mud at any
one. Come again, Mr.. Rasmussen,
tell us all you know about roads.
We all need to learn more and we like
to hear from you.
Yours for better roads,

berra is beautiful, even in its raw
beginnings; but there is one thing
even more interesting than it's beauty.
Canberra is trying out the land doc
trines of Henry George. 1t is abolish
ing the land speculat0r. The entire
Federal District of more than 900
square miles belongs to the nation
Most of it was Grown land", or, as
we should call it, public domain"
taken over free of charge. The rest
was bought from private owners at
it's values for the purposes for which
they were using it. The highest price
paid was SIS per acre.
Not foot of this land will be Sold
It is leased on the basis of 5 per cent
of its value. Auctions have been held
disposing of few blocks by lease
hold. In some of the business streets,
bids were made of $500 per front foot;
which means that the bidder bound
himself to pay per cent rental on
this amount, or $40 per front foot
Corner lots of sixth of an acre went
at $4,000; that is, at a rental of 5000
per year.
Information is not at hand as to
the exact provisions for revaluing the
land periodically, but such provisions
are made.
In this way, all profit from increase
of land values comes to the nation,
instead of to the speculatOr. 1t is
expected that within relatively short
time, the government will have an in
come of several million dollars per
year, and that the entire cost of gov
eminent buildings and of other i'm
provements will be returned in this
fashion.
Also, by keeping control of the land
the nation is enabled to make the
growth of the city symmetrical; thus
profiting from the experience of
Washington, which had a superb plan
at the start, but it has been almost
ruined by land sharks.
This practical experiment in the
single tax will be watched with world
wide interest: Australians have no
doubt whatever of it's success.

SHOW PREJUDICE

The death sentence imposed upon
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti
at Dedham, Mass, few days ago by
Judge Thayer has stirred up a great
protest in this as we'll as foreign
countries. The Duluth Herald COM
menting on the case, did not mince
words when it said in part as follows:
Felix Frankfurter of the Harvard
law school has contributed to the At
lantic a thorough and dispassionate
review of the crime, of the trial, of
the evidence and of the behavior of
the presiding judge. No fairminded
person can read this review without
coming to the conclusion that these
men had nothing whatever to do with
that robbery and murder, and that if
they had been natives instead of
foreigners, if they had been Re-
publicans or Democrats instead of
radicals and if their names had been
Smith and Robinson instead of Sacco
and Vanzetti, there would not have
been a single vote for conviction on
the jury that heard the evidence"
When it has gotten to the point
where big daily can show such pre-
judice in court procedure it would
seem that there should be some real
shaking up, and not very gentle either

PINE CITY DOCTOR
WON REGARD BY
HEROIC SERVICE

Following is an article recent
ly published in the st. Paul Dis
patch and which tells of some of
the trials of the late Dr. Robert
L. Wiseman of Pine City:
Back in the days of King Charles
II of England, there was certain
Sir Wiseman who was a physician to
His Majesty. He must have served
well and faithfully, for in every gen.
Grafton of his family since that time
at least one of his descendants has
entered the practice of medicine.
Most recent of these was the late
DR.. Robert L. Wiseman of Pine City,
who died January 20, at st. Joseph's
hospital in st. Paul, after an oper-

they had been trailed to the Cloquet
river, 48 miles northwest of Duluth.
This murder was the result of the
drugging of lumberjacks in a "blind
pig" and, to get evidence, the doctor,
learning that the body of the victim
mad been buried, had it exhumed,
covertly removed the heart and sent
it to the State University where chem
zeal examination revealed the pres
ence of poison.
By the time the rural telephone
lines were strung through, the coun-
try and the roads were improved. the
increase in the numbers of settlers
had so enlarged DR.. Wiseman's prac-
tice that rural calls multiplied. He
got an automobile so that he could
make more speed. He always carried
in it a stump-puller outfit with
which to drag the car from the mud
when it became mired. Also, he i'm
provised litter on which he could
remove to a hospital any patient who
needed care that could not be pro-
vided at their homes.
| Even before the Moose Lake forest
fire which took heavy toll of lives
in 1918, DR.. Wiseman anticipated the
holocaust by advising E. ]. Prochaska,
/ druggist here, to lay in large supply
of bandages. When the general call
came for help, he and Mr.. Prochaska,
supplied with these bandages and five
gallons of carron oil which they had
mixed to soothe the burns of the suf-
ferers, rushed by auto to the fire dis
trict.
Ate Tainted Meat.
For II hours DR.. Wiseman attended
to sufferers foregoing sleep and with
scarcely any food. He and fellow
workers ate of some meat that had
become tainted; one of his comrades
died from the effects of the infection
from this source, and the ailment
which caused the death of the doctor
two weeks ago began at that time.

Our forefathers knew what they
were doing when they separated state
and church. 1t is a thing greatly
to be appreciated by all citizens of
the United States. Class distinction
and class war can be bad enough,
and happily there is not much of it
in this country-but religious wars
are about as bad as they make them.
Arthur Brisbane says much in the
following few words: ITO let the
citizen believe what he likes and
teach it to his children, at home, and
in his own schools, if he chooses to
pay for them, to keep religion abso-
lutely apart from government, is the
safest course. Especially for re-
ligiOn."

90-MILE DRIVE WON

About a year ago, Mrs. Robert
L. Wiseman telephoned st. Paul
surgeon one night, saying DR..
Wiseman had gone into the coun-
try to see a patient with rup-
tured ulcer of the stomach, and
asking that arrangements be made
to operate on his arrival at 2 a. m.
DR.. Wiseman arrived with his
patient. having brought him
about 80 miles in his "auto." The
man was operated on and his life
saved. He owes his life, primarily
of course, to DR.. Wiseman, who
recognized the serious nature of
the trouble and knowing that every
hour after the rupture of the ulcer
the chances of recovery dimin-
ished. He did not wait until NOR
ming, but in the middle of the
night, sped to the rescue.

ton. In contrast with his aristocratic
ancestor of the court of King Charles,
living in the luxurious atmosphere of
the royal palace, he was a country
doctor for 80 years and most demo-
cratic man.
He ministered to his patients not
in regal chambers but often in the
single room of a log cabin at the
edge of a dreary tamarack swamp,
and after an heroic struggle through
the muck of roads that were no more
than woodland trails.
But whatever the reward of his
knighted ancestor, DR.. Wiseman of
Pine City was given a remarkable
testimonial to his life of service at his
funeral in the Armory here where
thousands crowded the building to
join in the tribute of love that was
paid him.
"The Beloved Physician" was the
Bible text taken by Rev. J. ]. Buck
ton of Red Wing, Mimi, formerly pas
tor of the Presbyterian church of Pine
City, who preached the funeral SER
mon. He knew we'll the doctor who
had been a trustee of his church. On
the platform with him were the pas
tors of the Methodist and Catholic
churches, and these men also spoke
briefly in eulogy.
Immediately there was begun a
movement for a memorial to DR..
Wiseman; nearly $1,000 was raised,
and at seven township meetings in
the county recently, committees were
named to undertake the procuring of

merely because we had common aims
and employed common means to at
tain them. On the other hand, social
democratic organizations frequently
refused to act in concert with us.
Had to Oppose Socialists.
The I. A. C. moreover, was often
obliged to oppose certain acts and
measures of the social-democrats most
emphatically. Had it not done so, it
would have been y wing its most sa-
within the scop, = cur most serious
tasks to oppose the v-Ar credits which
were championed on various occasions
by social-democratic deputies, or to
protest most theoretically against GER
tain military laws, such as the mo-
bilization law of Paul Boncour, even
though they were cloaked by the So
cal-democratic fraction in parlia-
ment? Was and is it not our duty to
pit our whole influence against col
onial expeditions and against inter
vention in China, irrespective of the
fact that social-democratic leaders
have on occasion advocated such cam
paigns?
The social-democratic parties have
in part viewed our actions with great
displeasure. They encourage certain
unions of ex-combatants, on which
they exercise a decisive influence, in
their opposition to the leaders of the
I. A. C. Thus it came about that at the
Brussels conference the reformist
Workers and Peasants Union of Mu-
tilated War Victims in France Of. O..
! P.) seeded from our movement. (The
A. R. A. C. naturally remained within
the limits of the I. A. CO.. In spite of
the numerical loss thus suffered, the
| I. A. c. has in a certain sense been
strengthened by the desertion in ques-
ton, since the F. O. P. was at all
times not so much a help as a hind
rance. (The Austrian association
likewise left the I. A. c. some time
ago). The F. 0. P. attempted to carry
with it the Belgian section of the l.
A. c., but the congress of Belgian ex-
combatants on July 10th will, it is to
be hoped, have frustrated this treach-
erous act.
At the same time we may observe
all the world over, in America as well
as in France, that there is tendency
to strengthen the international of Ex-
Servicemen, in the face of the re-
newed menace of war. Furthermore,
the Russian union of eX-servicemen
has joined us, fact of no small i'm
portance.
Thus the international of Ex-Ser-
vicemen both can and will set itself
with renewed force to fulfil the great
tasks with which it is faced under the
present highly fateful situation.

BY HENRI BARBUSSE (Paris).
The entire activity of the Interna-
tional of Ex-Servicemen Il. A. c.
focuses at present in the fight against
imperialist war, against the menace
of the Soviet Union by the rapacious
capitalist powers, and against the in
tervention of the colonial powers in
China. This was most clearly and de-
finitely expressed at the recent con-
gress of the 1. A. C. in Brussels. The
most important resolutions passed on
the occasion in question outlined this
struggle and the tasks it involves. The
bringing together the ex-servicemen
in an association of international
scope, of opposing repetition of an
imperialistic war and of preparing
preventative measures in this connec-
ton.
The initiative for the foundation of
the I. A. C. was given by a number
of comrades of the French associa-
ton of ex-servicemen, the A. R. A.
c., among them Raymond Lefevre
and myself. The A. R. A. c. itself
had already been in existence since
the beginning of 1917. In contradis-
tinction to other associations OF ex-
combatants then in the process OF
formation, it was based on a program
which was not limited to material de-
mands of the war-victims, cripples,
and ex-combatants but rather set it.
self the task Of organizing and con-
Quoting an opposition to militarism
Nor was this opposition envisaged in
any vague pacific form, but aimed al
attacking not only the results but
primarily the causes and roots of wal
rs SUCH These causes are of a social
haracter ad are inherent in the exist
ing order of things; on the one side
The ruling classes that decide on and
profit by war, and on the other the
suppressed classes that have to bear
the brunt of the war and pay for il
with their lives and fortunes.
Basis of Class War.
We have, therefore, from the very
beginning been of the opinion that
both in the A. r. A. c. and in the
l. A. c., our anti-militarism was a
matter to be fought out on the basis
of the class war and in its entire po-
litical significance. In France we
were the first association Of ex-ser-
vicemen to repudiate the formula of
political neutrality" adopted by other
similar organizations. For we were
fully aware that any such attitude
would involve complete submission to
the official policy of a maintenance OF
the capitalist, nationalistic, and i'm
perialistic system.
International Fight.
The A. r. A. c. took occasion to de-
clare, at its congress at Lyon in 1919,
that the fight against militarism and
imperialism must needs be carried on
on an international scale. To this end
the associations of eX-servicemen IN
other countries, whose statutes en-
bodied similar principles to those OF
the A. r. A. c., were to be united
in an international organization. The
