This investigation is not, funda-
mentally, an attempt to uncover ras-
cality: it is not an attempt to ferret
out those whom Theodore Roosevelt
used to call "malefactors of great
wealth and throw them in Jail. If
its only result is to make us demand
that some man should go to prison
and that another man should resign
his office, then it will all be wasted
effort.
Its true value is that it is revealing
tremendous and powerful invisible
government by insiders" who are
free from public control, who make
their own rules and render their ac-
counts to auditors of their own chOos-
ing.
The real villain in the piece is q
system and not set of individuals
If the tidal wave of public indigna
tion can be directed against the sys-

may we'll prove one of the most valu.
able undertakings congress has evel

NOT A "BOMBASTER"

You do not write enough editorials
i'm the Leader" writes a subscriber
of the Kenyon Leader, as reported in
that newspaper last week. The sub
scriber further implores the editor to
tell the TRUTH"
To this Editor Finstuen replies in
the following language:
I'm other words, be bombastic, we
suppose. But the truth is not neces-
sarily bombastic. We know that some
peoples idea of truth is that every
thing is crooked. So calling every
body robber is telling the truth in the
minds of many, because if it were
not the truth, how would they dare
print it, they say. o, yes, they dare
print it, because they are unscrupu-
lous, irresponsible and number Of
people feed on such stuff. Most peo-
pie know that bombast and eXaggera-
tions are a substitute for truth, as q
rule, and that the truth is generally
not told in bombastic language.

FARM MORTGAGE ACT
FURTHER EXPLAINED

Farmers of this county will be in
terested in the statement received by
Anton Gravesen, secretary-treasurer
of the Askov National Farm Loan As
ISOLATION from F. H. klawon, presi-
dent of the Federal Land Bank of
Saint Paul. telling of the provisions
of the new Emergency Farm Mort
gage Act.
For period of five years beginning
July II, the interest rate to Federal
Land Bank borrowers on their loans
will be reduced to Az per cent. This
reduction will be made automatically.
The rate of interest on outstanding
loans now varies from to per cent.
the average being about 5-1/3 per
cent
New loans made through national
farm loan associations, during the
next two years will bear not to ex-
coed Az per cent interest. This rate
will continue until July, 1888, and is
considerably lower than that which
prevails throughout this district.
Loans which are not made through
national farm loan associations but
directly by the bank will bear one-half
of one per cent higher rate of interest
II and when such borrowers join an
association when formed in their COM
munity and if their loans are in good
standing, their rate will be reduced
One-half of one per cent. All Dor
rowers have to purchase stock either
in an association or the bank in an
amount equal to 5 per cent of their
loans.
Borrowers whose loans are in good
standing will not be required to make
payments on the principal of their
loans during the five year period end
ing July II, 1898 if they are not in
default in the payment of interest
insurance. taxes or other assessments
During the next two years the
banks may issue their bonds in an
aggregate not exceeding $4,000, 000,-
900. These bonds may bear an in
terest rate not to exceed 4 per cent
and this interest is to be guaranteed
| by the United States. They may be
sold to the investing public to secure
funds to loan or they may be ex.
changed for first farm mortgages.

THE HOME COMMUNITY

There is no business or no indi-
vidual too small or too big to work
for the general development and
building of the home community. 1t
requires team work and cooperation
to build a community. A person or
business may get the idea that they
can get along without their neighbOrs,
but it "just can't be did, We are
all dependent on one another and just
as soon as folks who need the CO.
operation and good will of their
neighbors disregard those neighbors
and that asset, do their buying far
away, and in general pay little atten-
ton to the home community, just that
soon do they lose the good will and
boosting of their neighbors. 1t may
not show in dollars and cents immedi-
ately, but sooner or later it is bound
to show up.

GIVE 1T LIGHT

The Nation contained a cOmprehen-
sive article by Paul Y. Anderson on
"The House of Morgan In this ar
ticle there is no mincing of words In
regard to the Senate inquiry on how
]. Pierpont Morgan & Co. conducted
their money changing business.
1T is difficult to say" writes Mr..
Anderson, (which is the more scan-
dalous-the practices CT the Morgan
crowd, as disclosed by the inquiry, or
the efforts of Senators Glass, Buckley,
and other members of the committee
to prevent their disclosure. But for
the unflagging industry, patience. and
pertinacity of Ferdinand Pecora and
the wrathful insistence of Senator
Jim Couzens, virtually none of the
known scandals would have come to
light
Quoting Mr.. Anderson further:
while we admire Pecora's bril-
liant work, we should also remember
that it was made possible primarily
by President ROosevelt's request that
the inquiry proceed. Nor let us forget
that many of the most shocking facts
thus made public were known to Of
ficials of the Coolidge and Hoover ad-
ministrations. Is it any wonder that
old Andy Mellon squalled like a pam
Their at every suggestion that income
tax payments be made public? Is it
any wonder that Ogden Mills became
purple over such attempts to ''pry into
private affairs? They knew where
the cat was buried, and whose. cat il
was. My structures on public men
and affairs during the last six OF
seven years have occasionally been
imputed to an unduly suspicious ma
ture. Before the present admin
stration finishes digging up the dirt
left by it's predecessors, surmise that
the same critics will be denouncins
me for not having told just how rot
ten the situation was. The answer
is that the stuff was there, but it was
very, very hard to lay hands on it
One always knows when a skunk i:
around, but it is not always possible
to get shot at it."

FEELING GOOD

Citizens of Minnesota and friends
of the states chief executive, Cover
nor Floyd b. Olson, rejoice in know
ing that the governor is steadily gain
ing in health and, that he is so far
recovered from his. recent operation
for appendicitis and his dieting due to
ulcers of the stomach, that he re-
turned to the capitol yesterday. He
expects to be at the Worlds fair on
June 21st and will then go to Wash
ington on official business for a few
days. 1t was the pleasure of the
writer, in company with others, to
see the governor at Gull lake near
Brainerd Tuesday, to have chat with
him, and to note that he has acquired
a nice tan out in the open. The gov
ernor appeared little fleshier than
during the legislative session last
winter. He is bright and alert as
ever, possessing a keen mind that
grasps things very quickly.

There are two things in life-luck
and pluck. Luck in having well-bal-

life in falling into an environment
in which your particular mental and

pluck in securing from this environ

MAKING REDS
Mile Laos County Times)


We do not know of anything more
calculated to make reds of the peo-
pie in this country than the revela-
tions in the senate investigation of
j. P. Morgan and his associates. And
these men after lodging their taxes
for years, evading the payment of
millions of dollars justly due the gov
eminent, have the nerve to talk like
kings and pOtentates who owe no
allegiance to our constitution and our
government. 1t is these kind of men
who are doing more than any Com
munists or Russians could ever do to
undermine our form of government.
The men who accepted favors from
the Morgan group should not be per-
mitted to hold office under our gov
eminent The investigation has re-
vealed that they equally favored diff
ferent political leaders, showing that
what they want is to have control
of men prominent in the affairs OF
the nation. And there is no other
presumption possible except that
those receiving such favors would re-
ciprocate when the time came for
them to do so.

NEEDS DRASTIC CHANGE

In American industry the basic evil
is not that a man falls down and has
no one to lift him up. The basic
evil is that one man must be pushed
down in order that another can rise.
This is the essence of modern compe-
tition. On it the entire system OF
profit making and wage payment
rests. 1t is obvious that system can
not continue whose controlling rule
is that one person can succeed only
to the extent that he makes another
fail 1t is imperative that that sys-
tenn be changed and changed drasti-
cally.-Rev. Francis j. Haas.

THE REAL LESSON IN THE
MORGAN CASE
1.-THE Capital Times)


That sheaf of letters and kilograms
received by Sen. Carter Glass, de-
nouncing him as a ''crOok and defend
er of racketeers," represents the fly
ing spray from mounting tidal
wave of public indignation over the
Morgan disclosures.
When a man of Sen. Glass standing
can receive such letters, it is pretty
obvious that the waters are getting
rather turbulent, and the rising OF
tie wave brings 10 our public men
two chances to make disastrous mis-
takes.
They can, first of all, fail to recog-
nize the waves force--in Which case
if they let themselves get in its way
they are apt to get thoroughly soaked
Secondly. they can fail to guide il
into a useful channel, letting it, in.
stead, dash itself out impotently or
the beach in a fine smother of harm
less foam.
There isn't much danger that the
first mistake will be made. Even the
these Morgan revelations have stirred
the country as It has not been stirred

Reading about the Senate investiga-
ton of the Morgan outfit it brings to
mind that the money changers should
be driven out and kept out of the
temple. To be sure the preferred
list-those customers who bought
stocks and bonds cheaper than others
from ]. Pierpont Morgan-were not
enemies of the financial king. Nor
did Morgan sell cheaper to some folks
because he loved them more. And he
was not i'm the game for his health.
