LUNDEEN ABLE AND FEARLESS

That Ernest Lundeen is a fearless
able and upright man has been shown
in numerous ways since he has been
in the public limelight and was more
emphasized in his radio attack on
the big Three" together with his
open advocacy of Senator JShipsfead
and others, whom this group is fight
ing. He supported the political poll
cies of that peerless leader, Robert
NJ. LaFollette, one of the nations
greatest statesmen.
He is in sympathy with the devel-
opement of inland waterways, recog-
milton of Soviet Russia, insurance for
mothers and orphans, justice to the
war veterans and other measures of
a progressive nature which will go
for the betterment of the agricultural
condition of the country.
Can we want more?
Do not fail to hear him at Pine
City and on the radio.

REPUBLICAN

Refusing to become involved in the
tangle which now enmeshes the Dem
ocratic national candidates as re-
suit of their effort to rewrite the plat
form of their party, Herbert Hoover
will close his campaign in the east

it, with a discussion of the real is.
sues at stake.
Other "big guns" of the Republican
party are also being brought into ac-
ton as the campaign hastens toward
its close and the final two weeks will
see such nOtables as Senator William
E. Borah of Idaho, former Secretary
of State Charles E. Hughes, Vice
President Charles G. Dawes and Secre.
tary of the Treasury Andrew w. Mel
Ion speaking to nationwide radio audi
ences.
Their appeal for support of Herbert
Hoover and Charles Curtis will be OF
the type that the Republican nominee
himself has used so effectively, and
will deal with the considerations
which make a continuance of G. o. P
control of vital Importance to the
country. The criticism and abuse
heaped upon Mr.. Hoover and his party
by the Democratic candidates in theil
recent speaking tours is to be ig'
nored as unworthy of notice.
With Governor Smith openly repudi-
ating the stand taken by his party
on the tariff and prohibition and
placing interpretations distinctly his
own upon a number of the other
planks in the Democratic platform
the campaign at this stage affords a
striking contrast between the attitude
of the Republican nominee, who has
limited his promises to those which
his administration could fulfill, and
his rival, whose pledges" have be-
hind them not suggestion of party
sanction.

possible that the nations of the world
could have so outlived the horrible
scenes enacted during that great
world struggle of a few years ago, as
to now be able to create such friend

Such is the science of the present

We hope that the achievements and

that the evil power that preys on the
human mind, causing unrest and de-

The promulgating of the advance

PINE COUNTY

1t was said to the writer on one oc-
casion while in southern Minnesota,
That country where you are going
has future and is coming section
This declaration was made after a
conversation in which Pine county
was the main topic and was made
with great sincerity by a person that
is well versed on the state in general
and one who is capable of arriving at
an unbiased conclusion after COM
parison.
When one stops to think of the few
short years that this county has been
in existence and the foundation it has
laid, it is not difficult to vision the
expansion that the next few years will
tremendous output of vegetables and
roots together with the dairy Industry
rapidly gaining Roadway and with the
stable and thrifty class of people that
occupy the towns, villages, and farms,
it is indeed not very difficult stu
alton to look upon.
In passing over the county. one can
not help but notice the signs of con-
tentment and be observant of the
conversations regarding this as a most
desirable place in which to live. The
fields, the buildings, the herds, and
the towns bespeak these facts loud
er and more distinctly than any
other means. The land itself has
great possibilities and will, with the
proper care being accorded it, give
profitable returns i'm the form of crops
and afford means for pasture and
feed for the fast increasing dairy
herds.
Yes! 1t seems to us now that it
was no idle dream of the person who
permitted himself to say that Pine is
located among the counties that have
a future. But Pine cannot do it
alone, the right influence must be
back of it, and we have that influence
embodied right here in the many
homes, in the splendid people that in
habit this county of all counties
people who will bend to greater efforts
to forward their cause and make this
the coming land that has been pre-
dicted for it.

DEMOCRATIC
Hoover Is No Friend of Farmer, Min.
neSOta Republican Leader Says.


Hoover Is No Friend of Farmer, Min
nesOta Republican Leader Says.
Herbert Hoover's record does not
disclose friendship for the farmer.
Authority for that statement is Claude
H. Mackenzie, Republican National
Committeeman for Minnesota, it be-
ing embodied in a letter written by
Mackenzie not later than last March.
The real sentiment of the Repub-
lican leader is revealed in a COM
munication made public by Hubert
H. d'Autremont, chairman of the DEM
ocratic State Central committee,
written by Mackenzie when he was
chairman of the Minnesota Lowden-
for-President committee. The letter
was addressed to G. R Greaves, A
Penton Boulevard, Riverside, Duluth,
MINI. In it Mackenzie stated:
"Hoover's record does not prove
such friendship (for the farmer).
Everyone knows that Hoover was
practically an English citizen when
he was called back in 1917 to take
charge of the distribution of Amer
ica's food supply. Many suspect that
there might have been a secret con-
spiracy, in which England played a
very important part to place one of
her own friends in the position as
American food dictator. History sub
sequent to Hoover's appointment bears
out this thought.

Politics are about at their height
now with the end of the campaign
fast approaching. Sometimes we hear
of men going to fisticuffs over Hoover
and Smith, and we presume that if
such combatants were asked why they
are so strong for their man neither
could answer. In the heat of the
campaign it is rather refreshing and
has cooling effect to read about

Copyright, 1927. NEA Service. Inc.)
WASHINGTON, March 8.-Hand
in hand, the brutality of coal COM
pany police and abuse of power by
certain courts have gone together
to Cypress union miners in Pennsyl-
vania.
The report that one judge had
prohibited by injunction even the
singing of hymns in a churchyard
at RosSiter was almost unbelievable.
Yet we found it to be true. AS far
as we could determine, everything
about the hymn-singing, even
though carried on while strike
breakers we're going to work in the
mines, had been orderly and peace
full.
The strikers and their families
had been singing hymns such as
stand up for Jesus" and Onward,
Christian Soldiers"
Could Not Advertise
The union had also been enjoined
from advertising in the newspapers
and even from peaceful picketing.
One bad phase of the situation
is that United States postoffices
are sometimes on coal company
land. This had led to trouble when
miners have gone peacefully to get
their mail.
We found one farmer, in fact,
who had been cruelty beaten by coal
and iron police.
It is clearly a mistake to have
postoffices on coal company land.
Although the coal companies
made little attempts to excuse the
actions Of their coal and iron police,
they did undertake to show us that
workers we're generally living under
ideal conditions.
See Model Home
They didn't succeed. For instance,
Mr.. j. D. A. Morrow, president of
the Pittsburgh Coal Company, took
us for many miles past other OF
the company'S mines to show us
what apparently was supposed to
be a model mining community.
First we decided to sample one OF
the homes there without guidance
from Mr.. Morrow. Inside we found
extremely poor conditions. One
child had no shoes and stockings.
Being unable to go to school, she
had been threatened with arrest
by a truant officer. Other children
in the family were ragged and the
mother told us that although her
husband made $408 a day, the
company store kept it all. Exorbit-
ant prices charged by this store
kept her from getting clothes for
her children, she said.
Employers Indignant
Then a coal official showed us a
sample home" Here we found
good furniture, an electric washing
machine and modern convenienceS.
It was a fine little home. The
woman in the house said her hus-
band made $5.35 day in the mines,
that it was plenty and that she was
happy and satisfied.
Questioning by the committee,
however, developed the fact that
this was not her home, but that OF
the company physician. She was
his housekeeper.
The committee was especially
surprised by the attitude Of oper-
ators, superintendent, coal and iron
policemen and even Of the judge
who granted the anti-sing injunc-
ton. The employers became in
dignant when we ventured to offer
criticisms.
