by the influence of the organization
of which these, men are members.
1t is indeed a serious state Of at
fairs, if an international organiza-
ton composed largely in America of
aliens, can interfere with the internal
affairs of this country or deter the
mandates of its courts. In fact, if
any organization has gained such
power, or exerts its power to such an
end as to enable one of its members
to escape the penalty of crime then
that organization has become dan
gerous element.
The United States, having a large
alien population, offers field for
the PRONUNCIATION of ideas, the for
nation of societies, that are adverse
to American principles. 1t behooves
the citizens of this nation to be on
their guard against such groups. AS
insurance against the enCroachments
of an alien population the restric-
tive immigration laws should be
strictly enforced and further laws
of this nature enacted.
While defense organizations have
been formed throughout the country
where the population is strongly
foreign and a million dollars raised
fer a defense fund, it transpires
that the families of the prisoners are
destitute. Would it not have been
fine thing on the part of the radi-
Gals engaged in collecting this i'm
mense defense fund to have diverted
some of it to the use of the fami-
lies and not feed it all into the fat
NAV of sundry attorneys and COM
missions for defense fund solicitors
The men were convicted on cir
| c mstantial evidence. Such evidence
is subject to error. The accused
have been given every benefit OF
the law. 1t might be fine thing
to commute the death penalty to
life imprisonment but from the hula
baloo being made by the red ele-
ment in this country and foreign
lands, this is not the aim of the de-
tense committees who want total
surrender of the courts and the au-
thority of the land in favor of the
vild-eyed mob of European riff-raffD
No denial of the murder, one of the
most brutal, is being made by the
committee but the whole band is
footing the tune of persecution be-
cause they are anarchists When
courts and higher courts, judges
ard juries find an American guilty
of crime, he is sentenced and the
sentence carried out. You don't
hear of any foreigners, either in this
country or the old country, gather
ing any millions for defense. Maybe
this easy money is the answer to
the conundrum in which the authori-
ties now find themselves owing to
the delays in carrying out the SEN
tence.

ROAD WORK AT PEAK;
$4,000 ARE EMPLOYED

Road work throughout Minnesota
is now at it's height. Construction
crews everywhere are taking advant-
age of the dry weather to put in
full time, and maintenance men are
busy keeping the roads in shape for
the heavy summer traffic.
1t is estimated that more than
$4,000 men are employed in road
work in Minnesota this summer, in
Guiding all contractors employees,
and state and county highway en-
ployes. About $500 men are en-
gagged in construction work on state
highways and about 5000 on county
highways, nearly 5000 in state main
tenance work and probably $500
in county maintenance work. These
include men employed on part
time basis.
Twenty-Five thousand men work
ing with modern machinery and un-
der the supervision of experienced
engineers, probably move as much
material as 1G0, 900 men would have

Down at Willmar a man was
sentenced to nine months in the
county Jail and a fine of five hun
dred dollars for driving his car
while drunk. This would have been
easy but in his ramblings in a be-
fuddled condition, the fellow ran
into another car and killed a woman.
Editor Claude Atkinson over at Hib-
i bling remarks that the trial judge
needs fixing as well as the drunken
driver in the following: "Had the
drunken man shot and killed a
neigbor, with or without grievance,
the judge would have sent him to
the state prison for long term of
years, but inasmuch as he only killed
a woman, using an automobile in
stead of a gun, nine months was
enough. The drunken driver law,
as passed during the last session CT
the state legislature, provides for a
years Imprisonment, fine of one
thousand dollars and ban on driv-
ing a car for two years, whether the
drunken pup kills anybody or not,
and the limit should be applied to
every offender"

A TRUE DEMOCRACY REIGNS
AT WEST POINT ACADEMY

Time was when there was a caste
system in the regular army which
fixed something of a gulf between
those who came from the ranks and
those who were graduated from West
Point. But it's different now and
at the military academy there's a
true democracy of "What can you
do?" and not "Who are you?"
This year buck private from Ore
gon upset West Point tradition when
ne won the much priced title of
"Honor Man" and stood No. in
class of 203 cadets. He was the
first regular army appointee to gain
such distinction and his story is the
story OF an opportunity for ambi-
tious American youth. You can
read about him and about that OPP
portunity in an illustrated feature

Point" in this issue of The Ely
Miner.

PREPAREDNESS

The polecat is a pretty chap, dressed
up in white and black,
And proudly marches he along with
his tail upon his back.
He has no fear of anyone, to hurt
him few have dared
Because they all well understand
the polecat is prepared.
To any who may him attack he has
means of prompt defense
That principally consist of odors very
dense.
And so he goes along his way with
out thought of alarm
For well he knows that none to
him will dare do any harm.
Let Uncle Sam the polecat ape, stick
pistols in his belt
And be ready every minute to give
the foe a welt.
1t is an act of wisdom in peace times
to prepare
AS they don't monkey much with
him who is loaded up for bear.
