KELLOGG THINKS
HE HAS BOUGHT
SACASA GENERAL
Diaz Not Sure At All;
Fears Continued War

WASHINGTON, March 8. - The
department of state has been notified
that its intrigues to detach some por.
lions of the Liberal forces of Juan
sacasa, legal president of Nicaragua,
from their allegiance to him, are meet
ing with partial success.
The commissioners who have re-
turned to Managua after holding a
conference with General Moncada of
the Liberal army and General Cino,
Sacasa's minister of war, reported
that General Moncada is willing to
terminate the conflict by conducting
negotiations with the forces Of Presi-
dent Diaz through Minister Eberhardt,
but is desirious first of securing the
approval of his chief, DR.. Sacasa.
The consensus among Americans
here is that should Saeasa order a con-
tinuance of the struggle it is ex-
pected that Moncada would open ne
gotiations Independently Of Sacasa
through Minister Eberhardt.
The usurping President Diaz is not
so optimistic. In an interview with
newspaper reporters, he has stated
that he fears the conflict viii con-
tinue, because Mexico and other coun-
tries have recognized Sacasa as presi-
dent. He is calling for more U. s.
marines to beat down the popular up
rising against him.
u. S. Must Wreck Constitution.
MEXICO CITY, March S.-That
the Nicaraguan constitution stands
in the way of the program the
United States has for setting up
protectorate in the Central American
Republic, was pointed out here to-
day.
Based on Article II of the Nicara-
guam constitution, which asserts that
her sovereignty is ''inalienable" and
that mo authority exists to arrange
agreements or treaties contrary to
the independence and integrity Of the
nation, Of which, in any way, will
impair its sovereignty" it is main
tanned here that President Diaz
hasn't the authority for the negotia-
ton of a treaty like the one submit
ted to the Nicaraguan Congress
without first obtaining a constitu-
tional amendment, which requires
minimum time of two years
DR.. Sacasa's agent, Pedro Zepeds,
today denied report from Washing
ton that the liberals are suspending
operations, but declared them re-
solved to continue their struggle.

POOR PLACE FOR GRAFTERS

One thing, at least, they do better
in Russia. The Soviet knows how to
deal with government grafters.
Some German capitalists came into
Russia, seeking lumber concessions.
They brought with them slush fund
of 100000 gold rubles about $4,000.
Acting through three Russian agents,
they bribed three officials of the So
Wet government. So far, the story
reminds one of Fall and Doheny and
the little black bag''-but the out
come differs.
The bribery was discovered and
the givers and takers of dirty money
were put on trial. The three Rus
sian agents of the German company
were sentenced to five years in pri-
son, fines aggregating $4,000 rubles,
and loss of all civil rights. But the
three Soviet officials who accepted
the brides were sentenced to death.
The judge explained that response
bic officials who held positions OF
trust under the government and be-
trayed their trust for money deserved
more severe punishment than outsi-
ders.
The theory and practice of the So
Wet on that point might be studied
in this country to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

holes or glue the cracks but Smidt
discards the imperfect piece and
starts over again.
He's a Painter, Too.
His home is full of his work. There
is the oak case of the grandfather
clock in the dining room, plaques,
oil paintings. busts, and an oak dav-
export table which must represent
weeks of labor. On each end is de-
picted a scene from Hamlet, worked
out to the minutest detail. About the
cut a most intricate filigreed design.
The white-whiskered old man, at
tired on a work day in heavy farm
attire, with an overall jacket covering
his flannel shirt and heavy wooden
cap on his head, is something of a
painter as well as wood carver. He
has painted several scenes for affairs
in Lutheran churches but these he
explains are "only copies. There is
no touch of boastfulness as he displays
his finest pieces. He works for the Joy
of working and lets his wife and his
son, Eric, manage the SO-acre farm
and Immaculate home as he labors
with his planes and chisels in his
quiet shop.

.AL1yE--A GOOD COMPLIMENT

Some people date the time when
they began to live from the day they
purchased an automobile. The auto
mobile made their friends, the coun-
try, other cities, and even other
states, easily accessible. The horizon
of their lives was greatly extended.
Collaborating, however, does not ne
cessarily indicate a high degree OF
existence. Some people seldom set
their foot outside the village in which
they were born, and yet, so keen are
their observations and reflections,
that they live in very high degree.
Books open the lives of others to
knowledge and emotions, and give
them feeling of aliveness.
To say that a person is "alive" is
beautiful compliment.

THERE ARE FEWER FARMERS
Duluth Herald)

Last year 2.155,0OO persons moved
from American farms to cities, towns
and villages, while 1,135,000 moved
from cities to farms. The loss to the
farms was 100000. But farm births
exceeded farm deaths by 371,000.
This makes the net farm loss $4,000.
So the actual farm population jan
uary 1, 1927, was 27,892,OO0, less than
quarter of the inhabitants. 1t
should be recalled, however, that in
this estimate the millions who live
in farm villages and hamlets and at
the vast number of crossroads with
their garages, stores and creameries
are not counted.
If they are counted with the farm
ers, the total would be about ten mil
lions more.
The fact that fewer than one in four
live on the land causes thought. Is
that enough to insure food supplies
for the nation? Experts probably
will say that the number is ample,
that one working farmer can easily
raise enough food for thirty.
Then the thought comes that city
life is more attractive to the great
majority than country life, and that
too many have lost the power to enjoy
life without the CAD of external slim
ulation. They will say that this
movement proves change in Ameri-
| can WAYS of thought which is not for
the best.
Maybe things will work out agree
ably. Ruralists will come in more
and more, and urbanites will go out
more and more. Each will contribute
a needed element to the other.
Anyway, if food supplies grow short
prices will go up, and that will draw
people back to the land. These con-
ditions usually arrange themselves, on
the whole comfortably and in the long
run correctly.

NOT: OF SMALL CALIBRE

The Mile Laos County Times writes
as follows: "The report is being
circulated that Gov. Christensen and
his friends had the bill to raise the
legislators salaries introduced and
passed in the legislature just so he
would have a chance to pull off an
economy stunt by vetoing it. We
doubt if there is any truth to this
story. The governor has never shown
any indications that he is that kind
of a fellow"
This coming from a newspaper that
has frequently differed with Governor
Christensen and not supported him
in his campaigns is worthy of reprint.
There was time and likely there
are many yet who think that a small
stunt like that of getting others to
do something that a person is really
not in sympathy with and does not
want, for a chance to make a grand
stand play is smart and clever poll
tics. But it is only small stuff, it is
not clever, it is crude and out of
date, and certainly, whether or not
one fully agrees with Governor Chris
tiansOn's policies he must certainly
give him credit for being far above
that kind of petty stuff. The COVER
nor is a man of power and backbone
and is too big to stoOp to the tricks
of ward-healers and small politicians.

EARLY STARTERS

This has been called a young mans
era. But that is hardlytrue, because
big undertakings have been initiated
and completed by young men since
the beginning of recorded history.
Alexander the Great finished his
conquests of the eastern world before
he was thirty.
Caesar was not twenty when he be-
came prominent in Roman politics,
and he was the leading spirit\ in
Roman affairs before thirty.
Peter the Great exhibited wonderful
military genius before he was sixteen.
Napoleon was twenty-four when he
distinguished himself at the siege of
Toulon, and laid the foundation of
his future.
Washington was only twenty-three
when he was made commander-in-
chief of the forces of, Virginia.
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Decla-
ration of independence when he was
thirty-three.
Alexander Hamilton was member
of congress at twenty-five and a mem
Der of President Washington's cabinet
at thirto-two.
Daniel Webster entered congress at
thirty and Henry Clay was appointed
senator at twenty-nine, before he
was of constitutional age.

There are a lot of real human be-
ings in this world and it is brought
forth again very plainly in the help
that is rendered the unfortunate Mis-
sissippi valley flood sufferers. Thou-
sands and thousands of people in the
stricken area are left homeless, some
have been killed and the danger of
disease is great. Help is pouring out
from all parts of the country and it
does one good to read and learn about
this. Here in Askov, voluntarily
and without any personal solicitation
folks quietly came and signed their
names to a subscription list and in
a few days $89-was subscribed as is
reported elsewhere in this issue. II
will be added to during the next week
or two. Hundreds of garments have
been given and the women folks
sewed for two days in the town hall
This is not cited because more is be.
ing done here than elsewhere, just
as an example and being close tC
home. Like efforts are put forth over
the country. A person cannot take
note of all this kindness and feeling
for fellow man without observing rev.
erance, and feeling that it is a pretty
good old world after all. And the
beauty of it is that the blessing is in
the giving, be that large or small.
