ASKOV LOSES, CLOSE
DECISION QUESTIONED

The championship and final base
ball game of the season for AskOv
was played Sunday at Bruno with the
Duquette team. The game, third of
a league championship series, was
marked with much argument through
out and was finally won by Duquette
16 to Is when winning run was
scored on a play at home plate which
the Askov players and fans contended
out instead of victory for Duquette.
The question arose in the last half
of the ninth with the score tied Is
to Is. Duquette had crossed the
plate with two runs to tie the score
and still had a runner on third and
second with two men out.
1t was at this time that the runner
at third was caught off the base and
play was made at home plate to get
him out. The play was close and the
umpire instead of running to the plate
to witness the play, stood at a dis
lance where it was difficult to see it
accurately, and called the runner
safe. This action caused consider
able discussion and argument with
the Askov boys contending that the
game should go into extra innings to
decide the tie and Duquette naturally
abiding by the umpire's decision in
favor OF them. The game was the de-
Gliding one of three, each team having
one victory previously.

Pulaski Day Was
Observed Oct. II

Pulaski day was observed in the
Twin Cities and many other commun-
tiles of this and other states Tuesday,
Oct. 18th.
Three years ago, when it was just
$50 years since General Casimir Pull
ask, Polish statesman and warrior,
died, a big patriotic celebration was
held at Willow River with 1900 people
in attendance and when a monument
was unveiled in his honor and men,
Dry. The. general fought i'm the Rev.
dictionary war for the freedom of the
American colonies. He died on Oct
II, 1879.
While the Twin Cities were OBJ

WANT EXTENSION
ON FARM LOANS
Pine County Farmers Pass Resolution
for Two Year Moratorium on In.
tereSt and Principal.

About 200 farmers from different
house in Pine City Wednesday after
noon and passed a resolution asking
for moratorium of two years on
interest and principal payments OF
state and federal farm loans. All of
the farmers united in this request
which will be placed before the state
legislature and Congress.
The purpose of the meeting was ex-
planned by ]. G. Holmstrom of Roseau,
who has conducted such meetings in
many counties of the state where like
resolutions have been passed. Mr..
Holmstrom said that farmers simply
cannot meet interest and principal
payments on their loans in these
times when they are getting less than
cost of production on what they sell,
and therefore it is necessary that an
extension of time be granted. He also
has instructed the Rural Credits Bu-
reau to be as lenient as possible on
interest and payment collections at
this time and to have as few fore
closures as pOssible-as few as the
present law will permit. When the
legislature meets in January there
will be opportunity to act on the
extension or moratorium of payments
and interest.
The Pine county meeting organized
with Andrew j. Larsen of ASkOV. as
chairman, and Magnus Christensen
of Arlone township. as secretary. 1t
was left with those two officers to
call other meetings in the future.

JUDGES, CLERKS
FOR ELECTION
Only Two Judges and One Clerk May
Belong to the Same Political
Party.

Members of township boards have
inquired of the Askov American in
regard to the appointing of judges
and clerks for the general election
On Nov. Sth, as to party affiliations
of the judges and clerks, etc. The
law states plainly that no more than
two judges and one clerk shall be-
long to the same political party.
Herewith are the two sections of the
state law embodying that question::
Sec. 35S. Members of town board to
be judges-Vacancy-The members of
the town board shall be judges in the
districts i'm which they respectively
reside, unless all belong to one polit-
ical party and reside in the same
district, in which case not more than
two determined by lot unless other
wise agreed upon, shall act as judges.
But no member of such board shall
be compelled to serve as judge, and
if any decline they shall notify the
town board in time to fill the place by
appointment. Whenever for any rea-
son 1t becomes necessary to appoint
one or more judges in order to pro-
vide three judges for each district,
such board, on the first day of reg
istration, shall appoint the number
required and cause posted notice
thereof to be given in each district at
least ten days before the election.
Sec. $50. Clerks Judge s-The
judges of each district shall appoint
two qualified voters therein as clerks,
except that in towns the town clerk,
and villages having but one district
and not included in any town district,
the village clerk. shall serve as one
of the clerks i'm the district where he
resides. No more than two judges
and one clerk shall belong to the
same political party, and no person
shall be eligible as judge or clerk
unless he can read, write and speak
the English language understandingly,
nor if he be candidate for any office.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Ever since the preparatory diSarma-
ment conversations were begun in
Geneva, some seven years ago, France
placed herself in opposition to the
idea of general disarmament on the
ground that it did not guarantee
French national security. When these
conversations at length developed into
regular international conferences,
France again objected-for the same
reason.
But now it appears that disarmed
Germany has forced the hand of
France, for few days ago Premier
Edouard Herriot said in a public
speech that his government was ready
to announce schedule which COM
bined the idea of national security
with the plan of general disarma-
ment; it was also intimated that
France may be willing to consider
President HOover's proposal of a 25
to 1918 cut in ornaments as the
basis of further negotiations.
Germany's Influence.
Clearly enough the influence of
Germany is perceived. Not many
weeks ago the Berlin government an
nounced that it was prepared to in
crease its ornaments despite the
Versailles peace treaty's clauses eX-
pressly forbidding such augmenta-
ton. Germany's announcement was
predicted upon the undeniable fact
that all the other powers that had
signed the treaty, had pledged them
selves to disarm-and upon the
equally undeniable fact that they had
done nothing effective in order to re-
deem this solemn pledge.
Stumblingly close were the con-
sistent conclusions of Germany: AS
long as all the others have violated
their pledge to disarm. we Germans
are justified in paying no further at
tention to the military sections of the
Versailles treaty.
Either-Or
1t was evident from the beginning
that Germany was more profoundly
interested in the cause of general dis
armament than in her own alleged
right to arm. Either. it was said, all
nations, Germany included, must keep
up their ornaments or they must dis
arm down to the present level of Ger
many's military and naval status.
Germany could not in the long run be

PRISON SITE is
NOW SECURED
Date for Appeal From Committee
tppraiSement Of Lands ut
Sandstone Has Expired.

All the land for the federal prison
at Sandstone has now been bought by
the government. 1t was appraised
this summer by committee of three
C. J. Pearson and Ben Hurley of
Sandstone, and A. Gravesen of Askov.
The time for appeal from appraise-
ment expired Oct. and no appeals
were made.
The local Sandstone prison commit
tee consisting of Senator A. S. Larson,
r. w. Barstow, J. F. Hawley. and DR..
II: P. Dredge, have made numerous
trips to the Twin Cities and other
places in connection with the acquir-
ing of this federal institution for their
community and also for the speeding
up of the commencement of cOnstruc-
ton. A visit to the Twin Cities last
week got further action.
Full title to the site of the new
federal prison near Sandstone, should
be acquired by the government with
i'm few weeks, l.. L. Drill, United
States district attorney at st. Paul,
said Thursday.
Letting of bids for construction of
the $275,0OO building is expected to
follow soon after acquisition of title.
AS soon as the department of justice
has approved the proceedings, he said,
money for purchase of the site will
be sent to his office and then turned
over to the clerk of federal court for
payment to the property owners.
Il anticipate that the government
will expedite proceedings, so the
work can be started sOOn,'' Mr.. Drill
said.
Land Costs SIS An Acre.
THE 2,SS5-acre site, on the bank
of the Kettle river, about a mile
southeast of Sandstone, will cost the
government about S. an acre."
Plans from which the builders will
work i'm construction of the prison
are nearing completion c. T.. Elk
man, of the firm of Ekman, Holm &
Co., Minneapolis architects, said
Thursday night. When they are COM
pleted, Mr.. Ekman said, he will go
to Washington to confer with Sanford
Bates, director of prisons, and other
government officials on final details
preliminary to letting bids.

1t was a big day for Pine county
Democrats and progressives who are

Ruth Bryan Owen speak at luncheon
in the Agnes hotel at Pine City last
Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Owen dwelt
upon the national questions confront

William Jennings Bryan, known as
the great cOmmoner, and who was
thrice a candidate for president on

were filled with people who came to
hear the silver-tongued orator.

for century been coupled with good

Mr.. Hurley, is a statesman i'm her

Ruth Bryan Owen said she had
searched the bible to see if there was
anything about children inheriting
the Oratorical ability and other good
qualifications of their parents, but
found only that the sins of the father
are visited onto the third and fourth
generations. AS a child she went
with her father from Nebraska to

Necessary to Adjust Tao so Ma
tiOnal and State Banks
Paid Alike.

Deliberate lies, so utterly false
that even Republican leaders tried
to stop them, are being resorted to by
the hard-ribbed Republican reaction
aries in an attempt to paint Governor
Olson as the ally of Big Business"
That charge was made this week
by G. r. Williams, state chairman of
the Olson For Governor Volunteer
Committee, who declared that the
campaign has resorted itself largely
to "spiking lies emanating from Ea lie
Brown headquarters and used for po-
litical purposes"
The occasion for the attack by Mr..
Williams on the Earle Brown man
ayers was occasioned by the publica-
ton of the bank tax compromise lie"
Mr.. Williams statement says:
Senator win" Weber of SlaytOn,
writing about the 1881 bank tax COM
promise in his malta black hand
boOk'-the one with the big black
hand splashed on the cover, had the
unblushing temerity to say that Gov
ernOr Olson's friendship with Mime
sofa bankers cost Minnesota taXpay-
ers $47S,943." Weber's newspaper
also carried that story.
Votes for Condemns Governor.
If that were true, the senator from
Slayton could be accused, too, of MAX
ing a half-million-dollar donation to
the bankers because every member of
the 1881 legislature, Weber among
them, voted AYE" for that bank tax
compromise.
Win" Weber is reckless with the
truth. If he were honest, he would
have shown how Governor Olson. in
stead of costing the taxpayers $47S,943
by the bank tax compromise, saved
the state of Minnesota $1,5OO,0OO.
You do not have to take the COVER
nor's word for this. The Minnesota tax
commission and, Senator George H Sui
Ivan, chairman of the interim bank
tax committee, Republican outraged
by Republican lies, volunteered to
correct the facts.
Look for a minute behind the reek-
ing scenes of the Republican ma
chine. Senator Weber, sweating for
copy for his newspaper and his
'black hand book" decided to distort
the bank tax figures. Senator Sulli-
van protested, tried to muzzle Weber
and prevent publication of the Repub-
lican lie.
Its not true, VIM" Sullivan ar
gued.
WELL" Weber shrugged. that's all
right. It's good campaign stuff"
When Weber printed it, despite
pressure from members of his own
party against it, the stencil of such
campaign tactics was so nauseating
that Republican Senator Sullivan and
the entire Minnesota tax commission
including the chairman, ]. g. Arm
son, Immediately wrote a formal let
ter to e. l.. Mcmillan of Princeton,
chairman of the Republican state CEN
trail committee, denying Weber's
charges.
