TRAFFIC FOLLOWS
THE PAVED ROADS

That traffic follows the paved
roads, and that there are several
hundred miles of unpaved roads
which need paving, are two conclu-
sions which may be drawn from the
traffic census taken last month by the
Minnesota Highway department. A
summary Of the census was received
by The Gazette recently from Com
missioner C. M. Babcock.
Traffic counts were made at 62
points on the paved trunk routes.
The average number of vehicles per
day on the paved routes was 2,492.
There were only three points on
pavements where less than 1000 cars
per day were counted, all of these
being at places where there is short
stretch of pavement on gravel road.
There were 10 points where 1000 to
1900 cars per day were counted, IA
with 1900 to 1000 vehicles per day,
10 with 1000 to 5000 vehicles per
day, 8 with 5000 to 1000 cars per
day, 5 with 1000 to 5000 cars per
day, and points with counts aver
aging above 5000 per day.
Among the 80 stations on un-
paved roads, there were 81 points
where traffic averaged above. 1000
cars per day. Thirty-fve of these
showed counts between 1000 and L..
200, Is with counts of 1900 to L.
500 per day, 9 with counts CT 1900 to
1000 per day, z with counts Of g.
900 to 5000, and one with count OF
6.621. The last named was on T. H
No. IL, west of Hopkins.

IN PUBLIC HEALTH
News Letter Prepared for Gazette
Readers Under Supervision of
Minnesota State Medical Associa-
ton.

With hundreds of thousands of
children entering school in Minneso-
ia this fall, the educational commit
tee of the Minnesota State Medical
Association issued plea for thor
ough recognition of the right of the
child at this strategic time in his life.
Investigations conducted in Mime
sofa and elsewhere show that many
of the children who have difficulties
in school work are suffering Difficult
ties which are easily corrected.
Health statistics for Minnesota and
other northwestern states show a
gradual improvement in health con-
ditions in all of the public schools.
1t is the object of the Minnesota
State Medical Association to cooper
ate with health authorities in bring
ing about still further improve
ment.
"School children are too young to
think gor themselves, declares the
bulletin. ''It is your responsibility
to think for them. Make certain that
you have removed every handicap
and given them every protection
which modern science offers to album
dant health during school days and
for later life.
'The years between two and five
have been called the neglected years,
because very few children receive
systematic care during this period
1t is the time of greatest growth and
development when physical defects
should be discovered and corrected
The child who enters school with de-
fective vision or diseased tonsils, or
decayed teeth or any other of the
numerous defects found when the
children are examined in school is in
unfair competition with his physical
ly fit playmates.
There is no time like the present
and little defects may grow into big
ones which will retard school pro-
gress, or, not to exaggerate in the
least, might even threaten the life OF
the childr. For instance, diseased ton
sils might not seem to you to amount
to much. Possibly the child could get
through the winter without serious
illness, but how about those frequent
and troublesome colds? What about
the child's chances if there should be
an outbreak of diptheria or some
other childhood disease which finds
easy prey in those whose resistance
is weak, as his certainly may be?
ut may be decayed tooth or two,
A dentist may not be in the immediate
vicinity, or you have been too busy
to make an appointment with him
Are the chances of wakeful nights
with toothache and perhaps loss OF
several days of school, as well a!
well as loss of the tooth, worth TAX
ing when little effort on your part
might prevent all the trouble?
would you believe that children
almost entirely blind in one eye OF
with very poor sight in both eyes
have been found in health examina
tons? The condition had either come
on so gradually or had been present
since birth so that the children were
only considered awkard and the par
ents were astonished to learn the tru
state of affairs"

FIND TOMAHAWK OF
CHIEF LITTLE CROW

The Junior Pioneer Association of
New Ulm has recently come into pos
session of a tomahawk which is re-
puted to have been the property of
Little Crow, Indian Chief, who figur-
ed largely in the massacre in this vi
cinity in 1862.
Ath. Henle of New Ulm is now in
possession of the tomahawk, pur-
chasing the same from party at
Redwood Falls for the sum of $500.
An affidavit accompanying the pur

chase, states that the tomahawk was
given to blacksmith in a small
town near st. James, in payment for
work done on Little Crows wagon
by the blacksmith. The Indian chief
had no money and gave the toma-
hawk as security until such time as
he could redeem it. Unfortunately
the Chief was killed a short time
thereafter, and the tomahawk was
sold short time later to Redwood
Falls man.

say that they paid the price for
every inch of Riffian territory. We
sold it dear; witness the thousands
of graves of the Spaniards we killed.
The month of May, 1922, was an
eventful one for us. The Spaniards
had concentrated all their available
forces and were advancing across
the valley of Beni-Aros with Taxa
Rut as their objective. From the
west (Larache) General Saniurio
advanced with two thousand Span
iards toward the same place. We
fought the battles of Aman, Selalem,
Buharat, and Taza-Rut.

itual head of this part of Morocco,

Spaniards for a subsidy to support
his immense harem and his last
days at ease. He succeeded in Grip

he later paid with his life.

the general staff of the Spanish
army in constant suspense as to
where we would attack next, and
what was our strength.
According to the imperialist press,
our strength ran into thousands. Ac-
tually, at the apex of our strength,
in the valley Of Beni-Aros, in the
battle before the walls of Taxa Rut,
May, 1922, our forces exceeded two
hundred fifty men. OF these, six
were foreign revolutionary workers,
forty professional Riffian fighters,
and the rest the people Of the sepa-
rate villages, who fought only when
the Spaniards attacked their terri
tory.
Outnumbered twenty to one, we
fought tirelessly and would have
won but for the treachery of Raj
Suli, that sowed the seed of the sub

Eastern trade was the increase of
81 per cent in sales of American

some lines heavily in anticipation
of new tariff levies. For example,
shipments of American tobacco to

nearly doubled.
Sales of raw cotton to Japan fell

In the Daily Worker of Deem
Der 9Th, there appears an article by
Comrade Wolfe which criticized
Comrade Nearing's article of De-
cember 4th on the impotence of
Latin America before the onslaught
of American imperialism.
1t is very astounding that a man
like Comrade Nearing should take
such a mechanical, nay, metaphysi-
cal attitude toward the power of re-
sistance of the Latin-American coun-
tries to the might of the United
States. His views amount to the
belief that the battle is always to
him who has the biggest gun. Hence,
why struggle uselessly.
Comrade Wolfe's criticism is his
torically correct, and nothing could
illustrate his views better than the
Riffian War.

Der of the same year the writer

less it was not lost, and it sprouted

first imperialist world war; the
world war itself with all it's vicissi-
tudes, notably the intensification of
the national question, and the first
spasmodic attempts of the colonial
and semi-colonial countries to rise
against their oppressors; the victory
of the bourgeois revolution in Rus

luton in Russia in October of the
same year; the overthrow of the
monarchy in Germany and Austro-
Hungary, which was accompanied by
the first big insurgent movements of
the proletariat in nearly all parts of
Europe; the revolutionary events in
Finland, in Hungary, in Turkey, and
in the Balkans; the civil war during
the progress of the proletarian re-
volution in Russia; the blockade of

successes of socialist construction in

the revolutionary events in Germany
in 1919, 1921, and 1923; the General
Strike in England; the gigantic re-
evolutionary upheaval in China and
the intervention of world imperial
ism with fire and sword against
the Chinese revolution, - these
were the chief events which paved
the way for the formation of the
Comintern and which gave the con-
tents of its work during the first
decade.
c. l. Boom Of Russian Revolution.
The Communist International is
the International Workinmen's As
ISOLATION of the epoch of imperialist
wars and proletarian revolutions.
This International Workingmen's As
ISOLATION stands fully and entirely
upon the grounds of the teachings
of Marx and Lenin from the very
first day of it's existence. The Com
munist International was born in the
fire of the imperialist world war and
of the triumph of the proletarian
revolution in Russia.
Imperialism became fully shaped
towards the beginning of the cur
rent century. 1t will be considered
in world history that the last stage
of capitalism begins precisely with
this period. This has also been the
date of the beginning of the epoch
of imperialist wars and of the rapid
maturity of proletarian revolutions.

struggle of the revolutionary prole-
tariat against the bourgeoisie in
each country; no, it will be the strug-
gle of all the colonies and countries
oppressed by imperialism, of all the
dependent countries against interna-
tional Imperialism" (ibid. p. 1887.
Turning to the advanced prole-
tarians of Europe and America, and
at the same time to the hundreds
of millions of the oppressed peoples
of the East, Lenin told them already
in 1919, amid the circumstances of
the rapid victories of revolution, that
the world revolution, Judging by
the start, would continue for many
years and would cost great deal
Of labor" The Comintern celebrates
today the first decade of its exist
ence, having behind it series of
glorious victories and also series
of severe defeats.
The triumph of the Socialist revo-
luton in Russia and the formation
of the Communist International are
insolubly connected with each other.
The new era will be counted by
mankind from these world-historic
events. The Comintern was born of
war and revolution and it is one of
its aims to prevent new imperialist
wars with the help of new victorious
proletarian revolutions.
"The emancipation of labor, being
not local nor a national, but a
social problem, affects the interests
of all countries in which the modern
system of society prevails, and its
solution requires the theoretical and
practical collaboration of the more
progressive countries" thus wrote
Marx in the Statutes of the I Inter-
national.
The Comintern, founded in March
1919, in the capital city of the Rus
sian Socialist Federated Soviet Re-
public, in the city of Moscow, SOL
emily declared before the whole
world that it takes it upon itself to
continue and accomplish the great
cause which had been started by the
first International Workingmen's AS
ISOLATION.
The Comintern sets to itself the
aim: to struggle with all means,
even to take up arms, for the over
throw of the international bour-
geoisie and the creation of an in
ternational Soviet Republic, as the
transition stage to the total abolition
of the State.
The Communist International con-
siders the proletarian dictatorship to
be the only means which affords the
possibility to emancipate the human
race from the horrors of capitalism,
and the Communist, International
considers Soviet rule as the histori-
cally given FORM of this proletarian
dictatorship.
These proud words, inspired by
Lenin and pronounced on behalf of
the Comintern by its II World Con-
gress (see first Comintern Statutes)
will be carried into effect in spite
of everything.

The I internationally Interna-
tional Workingmen's Association led
by Marx and Engels-was formed
in 1864, and practically ceased to
exist in 1872. Chartism in England,
the events of 1S48 on the contin-
ent of Europe, particularly the
events in Germany and France, the
European crisis in the sos, the Ital-
ian war, the Polish insurrection, the
Crimean war, the emancipation of
the peasants in Russia, the Austro-
Prussian war, the Franco russian
war and the Commune of Paris
these were the principal historic
events which prepared the ground
for the formation of the l Interna-
tional, which conditioned its birth,
and which gave the contents of it's
activity in the course of nearly a
decade. Chartism in England and
the events of 1S48 furnished sort
of prelude to the activity of the I
International; the Commune of Paris
constituted its swans song.
Second International.
The ii International was born in
1889 and broke up in 1914, having
existed in its original shape exactly
a quarter of a century. At its cradle
was the German social democracy
which played in it the deciding role.
properly speaking, during all those
25 years. The triumph of the Third
Republic in France, the Bismarckian
period in Germany, the Russo-Tur-
kish war, the Anti-Socialist Law in
Germany, the first stages of capital
st development in Russia, the Anglo
Boer war, the Boxer war, a series
of local colonial wars, the Russo
Japanese war, the Russian revolu-
ton of 1905, the revolutionary move
ments in Turkey, Persia, and China,
the Tripoli war, the Balkan wars
which foreshadowed the world war,
such is the historic background
upon which the II International
emerged and developed.
The gigantic and rapid ascendancy
of the German social democracy, and
the vicissitudes of the first Russian
revolution,-these two facts have put
their indelible seal upon the whole
period of the II International.
The gradual growth of opportun-
ism in the German social democracy
served both as symptom and as a
factor of the gradual opportunistic
regeneration of the II International,
having paved the way for the for
nation of revolutionary wing with
in the II International, for a split
in the II International, and, there
fore, to certain extent, for the for
nation of the Communist Interna-
tional.
First Russian Revolution and C. i.
The ten-year period of 1905-1914
may be conditionally put down as
the inception period" of the Com
intern. Already the first Russian re-
volution in itself had unquestionably
planted the seed of a genuine prole-
tartan, militant International. The
defeat of the first Russian revolu-
