LUNDEEN HONORED

Citizens of Minnesota are nat
urally elated when one OF its sons
make good. Congressman Lun-
deem has long been we'll known
for his fighting spirit and cour-
age His popularity and the
faith the voters place in him was
brought out very forcefully in
the last campaign when he re-
ceived about the same vote as
the combined vote of his three
opponents in the third Congress
Sional district The Minneapolis
Labor Review has the following
to say concerning national hOnors
bestowed upon, him:
Ernest Lundeen. Farmer-Labor
congressman from the Third Mime
sofa district, has been signally hon
ored. An eastern magazine has
named him among % Americans who
it declares deserve the applause of
their countrymen.'
"Lundeen is honored. the magazine
declares, for his persistent fight for
adequate social security legislation
Minnesota has been applauding
Ernest Lundeen for a long time, it
is glad to finC' that the east is recOg-
nizing his courage, his ability and
his loyalty to the city workers and
the farmers.
Long ago Ernest Lundeen won the
badge of courage. Security for the
people has been his aim throughout
the years, and he fought for that Sc
curity when it was endangered by the
plunging of this nation into a war
that, as he had predicted, terminated
in a disastrous victory.
He won the badge of courage
when to fight against war and espouse
the cause of peace was most unpop-
ular and accompanied with the most
bitter persecution.
Just how ruthlessly the interests
that promote wars and attack the
city workers and farmers prosecuted
Ernest Lun6een the vast majority of
the people of this state do not real
ize 1t will be something interesting
when Lundeen writes the story of
that persecution.
'Prophesies that he made when he
was being bitterly assailed are COM
ing true. Disclosures to come when
the Morgan war correspondence is
made public will more plainly demon
strate the truth of his war time state
mentS.
1T is encouraging that Ernest Lun-
deem who throughout the years so
cOurageously has maintained the
principles of true progress should be
listed as is his right among those
deserving the applause of their coun-
trymen"

BETTER DISTRIBUTION PAYS
DIVIDENDS

According to all kinds of published
reports, business, and conditions in
general, have shown some improve
ment during 1884. However, many of
these reports are exaggerated, but it
is the general opinion that conditions
are somewhat better and there has
been a better distribution of necessi-
ties of life during the past year. If
the improvement is general as init
mated in the Secretary of Commerce
Daniel c. Ropers report that prcduc-
tion of consumers goods was above
the 1894 high level, it is possibly due
to better distribution of crops
throughout the country together with
a higher price level for salable prod
uctS.
This being the case then it would
pie in general, get paid adequately for
their labors, business gains all down
the line. Thus it is seen that to make
permanent better conditions for ev-
erybody, better distribution of living
necessities and material wealth would
be logical step.
To carry out in detail an eXplana-
tion of better farm price level, fig
ures in bulletin issued by the Divi-
sion of Agricultural Economics, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul. may be taken
into consideration. This bulletin
shows that the net cash income from
farm operation in the state appears
to have been about $1O4 100000 which
with the benefit payments makes a
total of $124.OOO,OOO of net incomes.
This is 90 million dollars above the
net income in 1894. or it represents a
net cash income per farm in Mime

Don't tell me that the church has
not used force. 1t has used force
many times contrary to the teachings
of the Bible. When the church takes
this attitude toward Communism or
any other political party, it will reap

Gle to show the Communist reaction

and to show that it is up to the

starts that kind of a war it will find
itself in the position of the Russian
church at the time of the Russian
Revolution; namely, loss of its in

New Ulm Review


Though Minnesota is far removed
from the cloistered halls of New
York's Metropolitan opera house, her
humble residents must cheer at a new
manifestation of civilization appearing
in that abode of the fine arts.
That development is the ousting of
professional applause makers, for 25
years known as the Claque. 1t was
composed of paid hand-clappers who
would give such-and-such an opera
star an ovation to warm the derths
of any celebrity's heart. Their cheer
ing wrought enthusiasm in the hearts
of all opera-goers, with the result
that soon the house was in an uproar
and the performer was made"
Out in the bread-and-butter circuits
Of the midwest such carryings-on
would not be tolerated. If there were
"claque" at a small theatre applaud
ing mediocre act, said "claque"
would not be apt to arouse much en-
thusiasm among bored patrons.
The realization of this makes us
wonder if, after all, we midwesterners
are quite so gullible as the suave and
sophisticated eastern sOcialites. Our
enthusiasm for something is governed
by true intensity of feeling. We do
not follow suit and clap because the
fellow next to us exhibits such &C.

GOVERNOR DENOUNCES WAR

The following is letter written by
Governor Floyd B. Olson and pub
lished in the Farmers National Week
ly:
1T goes without saying that | am
wholly in accord with the plan of the
Farmers National Weekly to sponsor
a special anti-war, anti-fascist issue.
THE menace of fascist governments
in their inevitable march toward war
has at no time been greater than it
is today. All Europe is an armed
camp waiting for the zero hour when
the masses will again be forced to
sacrifice their lives to maintain the
crumbling structure of capitalism.
"One of the few encouraging signs
in world chaos is the growing realiza-
ton in the United States that fascism
and war are closely interrelated, that
fascism breeds war in addition to a
host of other evils. 1t is therefore
essential to the welfare of our own
nation that the vicious nature of fas-
cism be given the widest possible pub
licity.
I'VE cannot hope to escape fascism
in this country unless large part
of our population has been educated
to fear fascism and war as evils that
threaten the existence of civilization
itself. AS the signs of fascism null
tiply. the American people must be
prepared to defend with every means
at their command the rights and lib
critics that still remain.
IF we do not profit from the bitter
example of fascism in Europe, If we
do not recognize our danger in time,
nothing will prevent our ultimate par
ticipation in the holocaust of another
World war"

JUDICIAL VETO
(The st. Paul Daily News)


Nine old men (six to be exac) have
now vetoed the most successful of the
new deals efforts to pull the nation
out of the depression, the agricultural
adjustment act.
AS in the case of the NRA they
have decided that such efforts by the
federal government are unconstitu-
tional because they invade states
rights.
In the words of Justice Roberts,
who read the majority opinion, the
absence of specific authority by the
constitution to authorize such legis-
lation by congress must be construed
as prohibition of it.
The majority, again to summarize
Justice Roberts, feels that if congress
can levy taxes for the local" as
against the general" welfare. there
is nothing to restrain it from further
invasion of states rights and "redis-
tribute the entire industrial popula-
tiOn.''
In other words, the six justices
have taken counsel of their fears lest
congress go even farther in the steps
which have been taken to meet the
emergency situation.
In contrast is the refreshing view
taken by dissenting Justices Brandeis.
CardozO and Stone which as promul-
gated by the latter, declares in effect
that the court should be equally care
full that it did not abuse its authority.
Justice Some said it is not the business
OF the court to pass upon the wisdom
of congressional acts and the appeal
from them does not lie to the courts
but to the ballot and the processes of
democracy.
Significant this time is this diff
ference OF opinion of the justices on
the functions of the court. 1t raises
again the old question whether the
court has usurped the power to de-
clare void acts passed by the regular
ly elected congress, and signed by the
elected President; or whether the con-
stitution does in fact confer such
power. In any event it is a negation
of democracy to have a tribunal APP
pointed for life and not responsible to
the people declare invalid laws passed
to carry out broad legislative policies
favored by the representatives chosen
by the people.
This is an issue which has become
of more than academic interest. 1t is
vital to the continued funetioning of
democracy and the welfare of the ma
ton. 1t will have to be settled, peace
fully, it is to be hoped, by the ballot
itself.
Certainly both the NRA and the
AAA decisions pass beyond the mar
row question of alleged legal restric-
lions placed upon the acts of the
elected branches of the government in
horse and buggy days. When ques-
lions of such Importance have to be
answered. the decisions should rest
with those who have a direct man.
date from the governed.
