CITIZENS HAVE IMPORTANT DUTY

Tuesday, April 8, the citizens of Sank Centre
will elect a mayor, two aldermen, city treasurer
and judge of the municipal court for terms of from
two to four years.
The right of suffrage is an important perog-
alive for any citizen
There will be keen competition for the office
of Mayor and the two aldermen.
Sank Centre has approximately 1900 voters
lively mayoraty contest two years ago brought
out 1913 votes. In 1927 there were only three al
dermen to be elected; there no opposition, and
344 of the 1900 voting population of the city ex
ercised their right of suffrage.
Conditions in any community, state or nation
are much more healthy, civically and politically
when the men and women of the community, state
or nation are taking active interest in political
affairs.
The Herald does not who your preference
may be for mayor or aldermen, express your choice
at next Tuesdays election.
If one does not use his or her right of suffrage
it will be mighty poor taste for to critcse the
official act of any official because the officer will
have been elected without ones support over ones
protest.

Butter Steady at New
York Lower at Chicago
Butter Prices IS Per Cent Higher
Than Last Year-Demand for
Poultry Strong

The Chicago butter markets OPP
ened today at 481a cents on 80
score standards and 48 cents on
90 score extras. This represents
a decline of ga of a cent on Elk
tras for the week with no change
on Standards. At New York
quotations show but little change
during the week and today. The
market is quoted at 49k, or 70
cent under the outside quotations
prevailing one week ago.
The make of butter is increasing
slowly and in the absence of any
volume Of importations, it is quite
likely the market will continue
firm during the balance of the
month, but values may be expect
ed to work lower, with the in
creased April production. Pro-
ducers can best serve their inter-
ests by giving careful attention to
production methods and by mar
keting their cream frequently.
Weather for the past week has
been suitable both for increased
production of eggs and the mar
keting of them. Receipts on the
large markets are increasing. While
the surplus going to storage is
under that of year ago, indica-
tions point to sufficient quaint
ties being available for the season
to allow rather liberal storing.
Values today are 10 to Is per cent
over a year ago, when prices were
showing steady decline. This may
influence the present market to
work to a slightly lower basis.
The amount of live poultry NOV
ing to markets is showing a de-
crease, no doubt to the fact that
hens ARE now in the heavy egg
producing season, and the only
ones being marketed are evident
ly non-layers.
The poultry market, both live
and dressed, is in a healthy con-
dition, with no decided change,
one way or the other, forecast for
the very near future.-Produce

STATE CONVENTION AFTERMATH

The Republican State convention at St. Paul

expected.
The resolutions committee turned deaf ear
to resolution presented by the w. c. T. u, on
Prohibition enforcement, and also putting Min

Of course there isn't any question to how
Minnesota stands on the Great Lakes Waterways.

Canada and is strong supporter of proposition
which, when effective, will the farmers of the
great Northwest to II cents per bushel on wheat

Mr.. Lowden is opposed to the Great Lakes

The Milacca Times started teapot tempest
couple of weeks ago when District Court Judge
Roeser criticised for discharging son of Dis
trict Court Judge Giddings, of Anoka, when the
young man was brought before the Stearns count!
jurist on liquor charge. Judge Soeser uphold
his action in the following statement:
'tPaul Giddings, young fellow about 27
years old, and soon to be married, is farmer
on 40 acre tract near Milaca. "He is cult
waiting that tract and is Woodworking man.
About four weeks ago nearby farmer, named
Pifer, asked young Giddings to drive him to
dance. On the way to the dance, Pfer asked
Giddings to stop the car, and he hid bottle
of liquor near the road Shortly after this
the sheriff of the county who had witnessed the
hiding of the liquor arrested both. Pifer was
held for selling liquor to Indians reserva-
ton and was sent to Saltwater state prison
for one year, sentence by Judge Nye.
"When Gidiings came before me at st.
Cloud, he told his story in detail. He con-
WINGED me that he did not know that Pfer had
any liquor in his possession when the two
started for the dance I found no evidence
to warrant finding him guilty, and when his
attorney moved for dismissal granted it."

Gerald Nye, junior United States senator from
North Dakota, continues to make a spectacle of
himself in his silly attack almost every man in
public life, Republican and Democrat, in frantic
endeavor to link them with the Teapot Dome oil
scandal. In a moment of weakness the Republicans
allowed Nye to become chairman Of the public lands
committee of the upper house of Congress-. The
pity is that member Of Congress can make any
charge his fancy Dictates the floor of Congress
against any private individual and he is immune
from prosecution. Gerald evidently delights in the
temporary limelight he is receiving through first
page stories in the newspapers. AS statesman he
is not even good windjammer.

OFFICER KNOCKS
DOWN CRIPPLE.
Worker Dragged Off to
Station House
lBu O WorEer CorresnondentN

by Worbey Correspondent.)
A prime piece of police brutality
was executed recently between 26th
and 10Th Streets where thousands of
unemployed fur workers assembled in
the vain hope of getting work.
Without warning the Tammany
thugs violently showed and drove the
workers in all directions. The
slightest protest was made an excuse
for smuggling and arrest.
Lately while standing with some
other workers on the corner of 9Th
Avenue, I witnessed one of these acts
Of police brutality Suddenly and
without warning a pug-faced bull
charged in upon group of workers
and threw a poor, deformed worker
on his back. This worker cannot get
around without the aid of a stick.
With an effort he rose to his feet and
defied the officer for his cruelty.
The agent then began to threaten
the cripple and used his fists, finally
pulling him off to the station. This
brought forth a loud cry of protest
from many of US, but other cops
quickly came on the scene and began
to punch and kick any worker who
was near them. They finally got hold
Of a woman worker and dragged her
off to the station house.
The agony of the crippled worker
was so apparent that hundreds of
workers gathered behind the bulls.
The poor man declared that he was
only too willing to go peacefully and
that he was not afraid of the police
man or of his higher-ups. But the
cop seemed to get brutal satisfaction
from the way he handled his helpless
victim. In this fashion we all pro-
ceeded to the police station in 30th
st. There the victims were taken be-
fore the judge.
Several of US wanted to gain adj
mission by putting ourselves under
charges, but we were thrown out.
This in short is the meaning of
civil liberty in the United States.
This is indeed the land of the free
and the brave"
Only when the American workers
learn to free themselves from their
illusions about capitalist democracy"
and organize themselves as a power
to fight as a class against the CAPT
talist class which stands for brutality
to and oppression of the toiling
masses, will they have real
democracy under a workers and farm
ers' government.

"slurs on Soviet Russia" he declared
Rose Rubin, representing the Work
ers (Communist) Party, was held
back for some time by Chairman Taft
who wasn't any too anxious to hear
her, it seemed. The S. P. has given
up the class struggle; the miners
strike not mentioned, and nothing said
about the organization of the unor-
ganized, she said. The policies of the
Socialists" republicans and the
democrats are almost the same, she
continued Head said, as pointed out
above, that "any liberal republican
can vote for the socialist platform"
Queen Silver, atheist lecturer and
writer, also spoke. She was raised in
the class struggle, she said. But the
S. p, being capitalistic like the re-
publican and democratic parties, has
separated itself from the masses now
she pointed out. Capitalists like I'M
employment. Therefore no unemploy-
ment insurance can be hoped for, she
declared. L. P. RINDAL.

that the American working class is

American capitalist society are united

There is one big united front from

"The Workers (Communist) Party
is today stronger than ever before in

strengthen the Party, if the Party
understands how to mobilize the
