AMERICANS ARE SLOW TO MOVE
 OUT OF DANGER
State Departm ent Ha $ Headaches Over Those
 Told to Leave Spain
By PRESTON GROVER

| WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Ameri-
 cans in Spain gave the State De-
 partment no end of headaches by failing to get out of the danger areas when told That won't hap pen in China in case that nation comes to blows with Japan. Chronically upset conditions in China have taught foreign resi- dents to be on their toes when their consuls pass the word to get out. But the word has not been passed from here and if it should come it likely won't be officially from the State Department. The Con suls out there have wide enough leeway to act when danger threat ems.
 The last widespread evacuation was in 1926 in the days of the many wariords. The flight of foreigners into Shanghai's international settle ment during the Japanese siege five years ago was localized but showed again how quickly the evacuation machinery can work.
 In China those Americans doing business or missionary work far from the shelter of American guns don't argue with the Consul or wait for another boat before heading for safety. They take the first vav out.

LEAGUE STEP EXPECTED

Out of the December meeting of American nations in Buenos Aires is likely to come no American League of Nations But a step toward it will be taken, or many with their ears close to the State Department will be surprised.
 In calling the conference 10 months ago, President Roosevelt suggested that peace should be promoted either through full ratification of present American peace treaties. by amending them, or by creation of new peace instruments. Out of the latter grew talk of an American League to reinforce the Geneva League.
 There is some sentiment for it in the United States. At the State Department you learn that the feeling is shared in some South American States-but not enough.
 One outlook is for sort of per- manent secretariat to start peace machinery operating faster than under the present system of arbi- tration tre ties which provide mainly for appointment of con-

HERRING WASTE
 HUGE IN ALASKA
Seattle Times)

What Alaska needs is more her ring reduction plants
 Lee H. Wakefield of Seattle, who has been in the fishing business in Alaska for twenty-one years, makes that statement, and has facts and figures to back it up.
 Wakefield estimated today that not more than 20 per cent of the herring caught in the Kodiak area is packed as edible fish, meaning that salteries that do not carry on with the reduction process are ob- liged to throw away 80 per cent of the catch.
 oil, Meal and Fertilizer
 Herring reduction plants produce herring oil, herring meal and fer tilizer. Wakefields herring pack at Port Wakefield this year was 0y00 barrels, 100000 gallons of oil, 8o0 tons of meal and small output of fertilizer.
 "The oil brings 30 cents gallon, and the meal $37.28 a ton," said Wakefield All these by-products have been sold, but that is not true for the herring, which stays in stor- age awaiting the demands of the market"
 In former days herring reduction machinery has operated only as sideline to the herring packing bus iness, but now, Wakefield believes. that situation should be reversed with oil, meal and fertilizer as the main business and herring packing as the sideline.
 Many Uses For Oil
 Herring oil is used in making cooking compounds, soap, gear cut ting oil, in tanneries' and by paint manufacturers. The meal is used for poultry and dairy feed. The five leading herring operators in the vicinity of Kodiak Island packed about l7,500 barrels this season.
 Wakefield, who employed sixty five workers at his plant, said the smallest pay for any fisherman was sl,40o for three months work.

 Anyway, the rocker is coming back.
 If you threw out the rocker with the horse-hair sofa, ''tidies" and the stuffed birds, you will be sorry ' You will soon be buying a new rocker and the more it looks like the old Federal or Benjamin Frank lin chair, the better you will like it.
 The revival started, sensibly enough, in the Middle West, but New England and the South, too, are clamoring for their rockers.
 It is surprising what character one of the old Federal style rock CTS will give to a bedroom-y or living room-done in the Fed eral manner.
 In your Early American living roorii, you will find black lacquer ed Boston rocking chair, with gold stencil, in blessed Harmony.
 But more than in its charming. honey lines, the new appeal of the old rocker is its comfort-some- thing old fashioned which we have almost forgotten We have be- come so accustomed to being moved as far as possible from here-and as uncomfortably as possible we will all welcome the exquisite pleasure of moving ourselves and getting nowhere-in comfort.
 Do you know how many years it took the modern furniture design CTS to find out how to make their chairs nearly comfortable? Well. those who designed and made and sat in the old Boston rockers took l5O years to develop the perfectly pitched seat and back Comfort from experience! !.

policy adopted by certain local well
fare boards in removing World
War veterans from relief rolls by
virtue of receiving their bonus.
This ruling Of the Attorney Gener-
al makes 1t possible for war veter-
ans to receive and utilize their bon
us money in the spirit the govern
ment intended.
The recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court invalidating
New York's minimum wage law
for adult women workers will not
in any way affect the administra-
ton of Minnesota's minimum wage
law as enforced by the Division Of
Women and Children, State Indus
trial Commission, since this court
decision did not apply to mothers.
Minors in Minnesota have had the
protection Of minimum wage laws
for so many years that a return to
a condition Of unregulated compe-
tition and exploitation would be a
distinct loss to both minors and
adult workers. The Industrial Com
mission Is, therefore, continuing its
policy and practice of correcting
minimum wage discrepancies by
requiring employers to pay in full
the total amount of unpaid mini
mum wages due a minor.

Emerson voluntarily withdrew from
the case, declaring that he did not
feel it incumbent upon him "furth-
er to witness the peculiar notions
of the attorney general in regard to
the ethics of this profession"
9. A month later June 10th,
the supreme court denied the mo-
ton of the attorney general to re-
strain the telephone company and
the Big Three from installing a
new telephone system at the state
capitol.
This long list of crushing de-
feats for the attorney general in

a complete list. The courts reverse
the attorney general so often that
1t Is difficult to keep up with the
adverse decisions. The thing has
gotten to be a joke at the state
house and when Friday rolls
around, the day on which supreme
court decisions are handed down,
the query is, What did Harry Pc
terson get trimmed about today?"
Attorney General Peterson may
excuse his long list of judicial re-
versals with the plea that the court
Is usurping authority. He has in
fact done that very thing, thus put
ting himself in the place of the re-
cruit who complained that the
whole army was out of step with

only way the town could get into

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
BY r. w. Hitchcock

The people of Minnesota, when
they turn their attention to their
state legal department,are amazed
at what they find there. The office
of attorney general Is established
for the purpose of defending the
people of the state in their public
rights and interests. The attorney
general ought to be a man learned
in the law, of sound judgment and
sternly devoted to the interpreta-
ton and enforcement of the law
as the people Of the state have
enacted it. Such in a conspicuous
measure has been the character of
the incumbents of the office of at
torney general in the past.
In the last few years the conduct
of this office has not followed the
Minnesota tradition and the people
of the state may well wonder
whether the present incumbent.
Harry H. Peterson, is ignorant of
the law or merely smart chap
determined to use the office Of at
torney general for the benefit of
the political party to which he be-
longs. It is difficult to escape one
or the other of these conclusions
when Attorney General Harry H.
Peterson's peculiar attitude to
ward public matters and the stun
ming reverses he has suffered in
the courts are considered. No other
attorney general in Minnesota has
ever so repeatedly and so severely
been rebuked by the courts. 1t is
doubtful If all former attorney gen.
erals of Minnesota together have
been found so often and so glaring-
ly in the wrong by the courts as
has Attorney General Peterson.
During the last twelve months
the attorney general has been ad-
judged in error as to the law so
many times that the record will
probably never be equalled in the
future. Nothink like it has ever be-
future. Nothing like it has ever be-
nine separate instances the attor-
ney general has been devasting.y
reversed, and even sternly rebuked,
for ignorance or attempts to wrest
the law from its real purpose.
1. About a year ago the Attor-
ney General upheld Governor o.
son in arbitrarily appointing a
Judge of his own choosing to try
a particular case. Judge Cameron
had been named by the district
court in Clay county to try the
Banco case. Attorney General Pc
terson attempted to set aside the
selection of Judge Cameron; he
: was defeated by writ of prohi-
bition issued by the district court.
Both before the district court writ
and afterwards, namely on Decem-
Der Z, 1884, and on June 5, 1885,
Governor Olson issued executive
orders naming Judge James Mon
tague to try these cases. The attor-
new general appealed from the dis
trict court decision, but the su-
preme court, in an opinion written
by Justice Julius Olson, upheld the
district court and declared that the
governor had no power arbitrarily
to appoint a judge of his own
choosing to try a particular case.
Incidentally this decision defeated
another attempt of Governor Olson
to name a judge for q specific case.
