FAIRNESS TO ALL

The finish is near, the race is al
most run, the victor will have soon
been selected and this old United
States of ours will soon revert back
to normally again inasmuch as the
heated political campaign is con-
cerned. The columns in the Amer
lean, in which all parties have had
their says will have accomplished
their mission-all will have been said.
These columns will be filled in the
future with something just as in
teresting, and maybe lot more so to
some of our readers.
We have tried to be fair; we have
donated a great amount of space in
our columns to the various parties
and have tried and we think we have
succeeded, in giving each the same
amount of consideration, as is always
our custom. We are always trying
to better our paper-even in our lels-
ure time,we are thinking and devising
ways and means, whereby we can in
sert in the American the news that
will be the most interesting to its
readers, that which will be the most
vital to Pine county as a whole and
we hope our efforts are being appre-
ciated. The. American staff is as one
big family and are working together
for the best interest of its organiza-
ton and Pine county as whole.

REMEMBER THE AMENDMENTS
(MinneOta MaScOt)

Because you may live in a section
where you have all. the good roads
you feel you are in need of, or are
entitled to, is no reason why you
should stand in the way of the other
fellow getting some help in being
pulled out of the mud
There are a great many side roads
today that should be improved but
that can not be without placing adj
ditional burdens on the taxpayer. A
plan whereby this increase in taxation
may be avoided and the help be ex-
tended to the counties is offered the
voters in Amendment No. 1.
This constitutional amendment pro-
poses to divert one-third of the money
raised by the gasoline tax in this
state to the counties for use on Sec
ondary roads. This is carrying out
the spirit that was contained in the
highway movement when it was first
agitated. Thirty per cent of the
farms, or 10000 of them. are still on
mud roads.
You may have gotten what you
wanted in road work but give your

he might have been lost, his wife
said:
"He has been awfully keen on his
flight. He wouldn't say much about
it to his friends. He Stunned pub
licity and sent his plane to America
in advance so as to avoid any talk
about the proposed flight. He has
only done about 80 hours flying and
am afraid he has never flown at
night for more than perhaps half an
hour. That wouldn't make a lot of
difference to him, though, because
he has spent all his life in the navy
and is an excellent navigator. I've
never been up flying with my husband
and I'm not particularly keen to do
so!

GRASSTON
GRASSTON MAN WAS INJURED

What might have been a serious
accident, occurred in Grasston Tues
day when a runaway team threw Pet
err Lynde from a wagon and injured
him.
1t seems that Mr.. Lynde drove to
the creamery at that place in wa
gon with some cream and left his
team stand while he went to get his
check While he was at the door,
the whistle blew and frightened the
team, causing them to run. Mr..
Lynde ran after them and climbed
into the wagon, but was unable to get
the lines to prevent the team from
crashing into tree, which force
threw him to the ground causing in
juries sufficient to necessitate doc
tors care. He was promptly taken
to the Braham hospital, but at the
present time he is reported as i'm
proving rapidly.

THE POLITICAL MARATHON

The political marathon has en-
bodied all the way through, only two
couples representing the majUr pa ties
in the contest for grand prize and in
a very few days, after a most strenu-
Gus and gruelling campaign, which
will probably shatter all records as to
the amount of money expended as
well as to the amount of interest it
has commanded. one couple, either
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover or Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith will be left on the floor a de-
cided winner for first money by the
will of the majority of voter judges.
Both couples have staged a valiant
fight and it will be with difficulty
that either gives up in defeat.
Although the presidential marathon
has not been as gruelling and in
furious to the health as the many
other marathons throughout the coun-
try, nevertheless it has taxed the
strength and vocabularies of the con-
testants.
Outside of those who are competing
for the main or grand prize there are
numerous others who are competing
for minor prizes and these, too, will
end the race late on the evening of
November 9Th.
Of course the first prize, as every
one knows will make the winner
richer to the extent of 100000, be-
sides great honor and the chance to
fulfill the many promises, which are
being made now. during the next four
years.
The second prize, although consider
ably smaller, will make the recipient
the richer in the same space of time,
to the extent of $4,000 or $4,000
each year, while the third, fourth and
other prizes range in varying amounts
which are sufficient to pay the in
cumbentS expenses.
AS things look now, the marathon
is expected to run it's full course be-
fore humane officials will have to
step in and call halt. Of course in
a contest of this kind, there are bound
to be some casualties-such as short
ness of breath, cramped hands, tired
muscles around the mouth, caused by
too much smiling, artificially and
otherwise.

THOUSANDS SHONE in OUR EYES

After spending short time in Du-
luth Sunday afternoon, we decided to
start for home and after eating a
lunch at one of the cafes of that place,
which terminated our gallivanting
around the city, We did start for home
while dusk finished gathering all the
little particles of daylight and push
ing them over to the other side of
the universe Our observations, which
made this write-up necessary, began
after an understanding with the other
members of our vehicle, that we
begin the count of each automobile
we passed or that passed US from
then until we arrived home.

opposite from us is not clear in our
minds at the present time. but never
theless, we met 1853 cars against Is
that came from behind. Figuring on
conservative estimate of $500 per
car, and we think this is very con-
sentative. considering the number of
expensive cars that passed us, we
would arrive at the large and com
handing amount of $176,500 which
flashed brilliant beams in our eyes
the approximate so miles from the
city limits to our garage in Askov.
Considering the amount of traffic
that has been recorded in various
places during the summer months,
this is probably poor streak of bust
ness for an ordinarily busy thorough
fare like paved highway No. 1, but
it is enough to make ones headache
to meet that number of lights in so
short a space of time. Whether the
more considerable and law abiding
drivers were the only ones abroad that
evening or not, we do not know, but
nevertheless there seemed to be a
more non-glaring element among the
headlights that we met, which is of
course. a very commendable feature,
that went to make Sunday more per-
feet day for us.
Although the number of cars that
we met were somewhat below sum-
mer par, it is a great many more than
old dobbin would have been forced
to divide the beaten trail with few
years ago and although these 60 short
miles embodied this vast amount OF
money in the form of rolling stock,
it is almost staggering to think OF
the vast amount of money that was
rolling over many thousands of miles
in the United States with an increased
pro rata of this figure.

VOTE!

Ten years ago this country
faced an emergency-was in the
midst of war. Every good citi-
zen put forth his utmost effort for
the success of the United States
and the cause it fought for. The
men of The American Legion
went forth to battle and they were
victorious because they had the
backing of the people.
Today there is within every
political party a minority who
control-profession politicians
whose very livelihood comes from
trading in the votes of few peo-
pie. These few controlled votes
are a minor part of the electorate.
Not until every good citizen casts
his vote will the choice of all the
people be known. Only such full
expression can give us a truly
representative government.
The American Legion believes
that the right to citizenship has
not been established unless a
citizen votes. The franchise to
all men and women has been paid
for in hardship-even in the life
blood of our forefathers. Yet few
exercise the right.
The American Legion is nom
POLITICAL; it is nOn-Sectarian; it
is made up of men who served in
the Great War regardless of be-
lief. The primary purpose of the
organization is to be of service
to community, state and nation.
LegionnaireS gave service while
they were members of the armed
forces of the United States. The
Legion was organized that they
might continue to give the same
service in peace as in war.
Standing upon this platform.
The American Legion urges every
good citizen to familiarize him
self with the candidates for the
several public Offices to be voted
for, and with the issues involved.
With this information we'll in
mind you will be able to vote
intelligently. The right of fran
chise is Americas greatest gift
to her citizens. Why lose it by
default? Go to the polls on Mo-
vember sixth and VOTE!

DANGERS OF ZEALOTRY
(St. Paul Daily NeWS)


Passions have been aroused in GER
tain sections during this campaign
that have greater possible danger for
the Union than the prejudices and
passions that were stirred up over
slavery before the Civil war.
Religious prejudice and passion go
deeper into human emotions than any
difference of opinion over slavery, or
over any economic issue. They have
been responsible for many of the
bloodiest wars in~human history.
Familiar with the prosecutions in
spired by bigotry and intolerance in
the fathers of the American republic
had in their minds the dedication of
this democracy to freedom of con-
science and religious liberty.
In making the constitution they
looked ahead as far as they could
with the light they had and knowl-
edge of history to guide them, and
tried to guarantee for all time to
come, in the fundamental law of the
land, THE RIGHT OF EVERY CITI-
ZEN TO BE FREE AND UNDIS-
TURBED IN HIS NATURAL RIGHT
TO WORSHIP GOD ACCORDING TO
THE DICTATES OF HIS OWN CON-
SCIENCE.
But they went farther than that.
They recognized not only all Chris
tians, but all MEN. of whatever reli-
gious faith, as brothers under the
Fatherhood of God. There was to be
no restriction of full religious liberty.
All of us, no matter what our reli-
sious faith might be, were to dwell
together in peace and harmony.
Thus far the spirit of the founders
of the republic has prevailed. and
has inspired their children and their
children's children with patriotic de-
votion to their country. Whenever
the nation was in danger all men of
all creeds fought together as brother
Americans to preserve the republic
and the freedom of conscience guar
anteed in that fundamental law.
Now it is menaced. Emotions have
been stirred up, passions have been
aroused and a veritable hell of ami
mosities brewed that endanger the
very. spirit of constitutional liberty.
From the disastrous results from
such clashing of intolerant and cruel
passions the republic must be saved.
Which of the candidates for presi-
dent shall be elected is a small mat
ter indeed compared with a war of
creeds And there is no graver duty
for every patriotic American citizen
than to repulse every man or woman
who helps to fan this spark of intol-
erance into consuming flame.
WHOEVER SEEKS TO HARM ANY
CANDIDATE OR ANY CITIZEN BE-
CAUSE OF HIS RELIGIOUS FAITH
is AN ENEMY OF THE CONSTITU-
TION AND HIS COUNTRY.

REPUBLICAN
A Democratic Estimate of Hoover.


During the Wilson, administration
Walter H. Page was American Am
bassadOr at the Court of ST. James.
1t is interesting to know what this
prominent Democrat wrote to Presi-
dent Wilson regarding Hoover and his
work.
The following will be found in Vol
ume 3 of the Life and Letters of Wal
ter H. Page, page 312.
December 30, 1916. Written not
for the sake of the gentleman men
tion but for possible help to the
President and the service:
Hoover: Mr. Herbert C. Hoover,
Chairman of the Commission for Re-
lief in Belgium, would, if opportunity
should offer, make useful officer
in the State Department He is prob
ably the only man living, who has
privately without holding office) ne
gotiated understandings with the
British, French, Dutch and Belgian
governments. He personally knows
and has had direct dealings with
these governments and his transac-
lions with them have involved sew
eral hundred million dollars. He is
a man of very considerable fortune
less than when the work began, for
this Relief Work has cost him much.
He was approached on behalf of the
British Government with the sug-
gestion that if he would become a
British subject the government would
be pleased to give him an important
executive post and with the hint that
if he succeeded a title might await
him. His answer was: 81 will do
what I can for you with pleasure but
will be damned if l give up my
American citizenship. Not on your
life!' Within the last six months
two large financial organizations, each
Independently. have offered him one
hundred thousand dollars a year to
enter their service and an industrial
company offered him one hundred
thousand dollars Ito start witty. He
declined them all. When the Belgian
Relief Work recently struck snag
Hoover by telegraph got the promise
of a loan in the United States for
the British and French governments
for the Belgian Relief of $3.50, 0OO, 900!
/ do not know but l think he would
be glad to turn his European expert
ence to the patriotic use of our own
government. He is AZ years old and

his Willingness to help Minnesotans

Senator Shipstead has many of
the qualities of the late Senator Nell

methods of attack differs somewhat.
Senator Shipstead is quiet and meth
odical and efficient. Senator Nelson
was efficient and methodical and also
of fiery nature. When Nelson first
went to the senate they accused him
back home of being radical. Senator
Shipstead was accused of being radi-
