no real change has taken place on
the western front since the war be-
gan more than two months ago.
On the sea there have been a few
more sinkings-of Danish, Norwegian
and Greek boats, and in the air a
battle between French and German
filters is reported to have taken place,
with the result that the Germans lost
nine of their airplanes, seven of them
being dropped on French soil. It is
said that the French used American
made pursuit planes. But aside from
this skirmish-which is all it was al
though it is called "the biggest air

that it is, relatively, an ideal war,

HAT IN RING
(Austin Daily Herald)
(Oct. o. 1897

Placing their own interpretations
upon the statement made by Hjalmar
Petersen Thursday, the Twin City
newspapers expressed the belief that
his views mean he is going to file on
the Farmer-Labor ticket for gov
ernor. His statement does not say
that in any way, though, there might
be reasons for making such an infer
ence.
Because Mr.. Petersen sees fit to
warn the remnants of the Farmer
Labor party that their period of use
fulness is over unless they abandon
their radical Communistic ideas and
scuttle their irresponsible leaders, it
does not seem as though that is suf-
ficient reason to peg him definitely
in the Farmer-Labor ranks again.
What criticism Mr.. Petersen makes
of the present set-up of the organiza-
ton might have been made by any
one stating a truth. 1t is scarcely
to be believed that he will do much
to revive party which has done so
much to align class against class and
by its very name is intended to de-
velop such division. There would
be as much reason for a party en-

low it to make sure that there was
no violation of the Hague conven-
ton of 1907 or of the neutrality law of
Norway.
Arriving near Haugesund the Ger
man commander sent word ashore
that he wished to anchor as he had

gian warship surgeon was sent to
investigate, and when he reported
that there was no sickness but mere

insignificant wound on one of his legs,
the Norwegian authorities informed
the prize crew that the ship, in &C
cordance with laws, could not be

Since the presence of the ship in
Norwegian territorial waters must
be considered an infraction of Nor
wegian law, the prize crew of the
"City of Flint" was informed, and the
ship itself turned over to its Amer
lean crew; it was expected that it
would shortly be cleared for its Amer
lean destination.
Germany was mad, clean through,
and hot notes of protest sputtered
through the cables from Berlin to
Oslo. But Norway, realizing that it
was on safe international neutrality
grounds, remained firm and declared
that the Germans had not established
any claims to the American vessel.

1t is very curious feature of this

have consisted in speeches by cabinet
members and in discussions of inter-

the frightful days of the crushing of

Virginia Daily Enterprise)
(Oct. 26, 1897

In another part of the Virginia
Daily Enterprise of this issue appears
an editorial which is being published
today in the Askov American, the
newspaper which is owned and OPP
Grated by Hjalmar Petersen, a Farm
er-Labor member of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commission, and the good
citizen who helped lick racketeering
in Minnesota in 1888 MIR. Petersen
attempts to interpret the situation of
the Farmer-Labor party as it is today.
He hits at the discredited leadership
of the party and challenges rank and
file members to such action that they
shall never again give place and cir
cumstance to that coterie which took
the state and the citizenship for a
long and costly ride. Unfortunately,
the leadership which gave the Farm
er-Labor party black hue is not
ready to release the party to those
who would build it, as they would
any party, to an estate to champion
the common good. Mr. Petersen is an
earnest man, splendid citizen and
capable public official. His kind of
political philosophy is such that no
fair Republican can quarrel with it..
AS matter of fact, some of us would
like to see Mr.. Petersen and his tai
ents at work in the Republican party,
where there is both opportunity and
challenge-without the bane of dis
credited hierarchy-to do much for
Minnesota. Tides ebb and flow-just
now the Farmer-Labor tide is ebbing.
But read Mr.. Petersen's article. 1t
is an indictment of racket leadership,
and it is good gospel in its invitation
to broader citizenship interest in
affairs.

People Not Ready

The result of the California and
Ohio pension elections Tuesday makes
it apparent that the larger pension
movement is coming onto the people
too suddenly. At this distance it is
not known as to where the weakness
in the plans lie, but it is certain that
they were voted down by from two
to one and even up to three to one
majorities in the two states.
In California hackers of the "ham
and eggs" plan would pay $50 each
week to all unemployed persons over
so years of age and in Ohio the Bige-
low plan would guarantee $40 to $50
per month to every retired person
over 60. For that payment land and
incomes would be taxed.
No doubt various plans such as
the Townsend, the ''ham and eggs
and the Ohio plan for pensions focus
public attention on the need for
benefits to the aged and unemployed
It likewise focuses the attention of
everyone upon the necessity of plan
to alleviate the unemployment situa-
ton. Those two reasons, alone JUS
tify the proposal of such referendums
to the voters.
1t is certain that the pension is
the future American plan of secur-
ity for the older citizenry, but nat
urally pension plan, to exist, must
be satisfactorily financed and too
much speed in enacting pension sys-
TENS of larger quantities than that
which exists will not be healthy for
the movement. 1t is for the best in
terests of the recipients that the sys-
tenn be made permanent before too
high benefits be made available
We repeat again that all such plans
as have been advanced have their
merits, even for no other reason than
that of focusing public attention on
the need for pension to aid the
aged and to alleviate unemployment

FINING THOSE AT THE TOP
(The MonteVideo Americanl

Minnesota's lone Democratic mem
Der of the Congress, Elmer Ryan of
the Second district, learned this week
that it is just as well for lawmakers
to obey the law as it is for the man
in the street.
In his zeal to bag a share of Min
nesota's duck family, the diminutive
solon neglected to include a duck
stamp in his hunting paraphernalia
and plug in his gun to limit the
number of shells. While the Con-
gresham claimed cit was all a mis-
take" he did not deny the charges
when hailed into court by a Federal
game warden and fined $50, which
he promptly paid.
While it is to be regretted that a
man in Congressman Ryan's position
would neglect the rules of good
craftsmanship during Minnesota's
hunting season, the important lesson
of the whole affair is that his status
as member of the American Con-
gress did not prevent his arrest and
proper sentence by an American
court.
Game laws are game laws, and
they should be observed by men in
all walks of life, rich or poor, public
officials or private citizens.

PRINCIPLES AND PARTIES
(Montevideo American)
(Oct. q, 1887


In an editorial this week in his
newspaper, the Askov American,
Hjalmar Petersen, member of the
railroad and warehouse commission
and former governor, quotes a polit-
ical writer in the st. Paul Pioneer
Press who cannot agree with some
prophets who think the Farmer-Labor
party is washed up for good" This
commentator adds that "the princi-
Piles and program of the Farmer
Labor party were not repudiated by
the voters in 1888. It's failures to live
up to those principles led to its de-
feat"
All of which is true, but is does
not necessarily presage rebirth of
the Farmer-Labor party. The his
tory of the last few years of Farmer
Labor control in Minnesota taught
that power meant more to those who
directed the party than principles,
ideals and good government. And
while the principles of the Farmer
Labor party were not defeated in
1888, as all are agreed, the public
will be skeptical in the future as to
the wisdom of entrusting those prin-
ciples to the party which forsook
them.
Probably no political party in the
history of Minnesota was more ruth
lessly managed than the Farmer
Labor party after it came into power
in the state government. AS the
Askov American editorial points out,
few individuals with a lust for
power built up vast patronage ma
chine and in the management of the
party cast aside democracy for autoc-
racy.
In a political party which was in
tended to defend the right of the
public to select its own candidates
for public office there was virtually
united front by virtue of controlled
conventions against any Individual
who sought the suffrage of the voters
in opposition to an endorsed candi-
date; party which was founded to
fight the evils of political machines
spawned by older parties became in
turn a political machine the like of
which this state had never before
seen and probably will never see
again; in short, in a political party
designed to preserve the principles
of democracy there was no democ-
racy.
True, the principles of the Farmer
Labor party were not defeated in
last falls election. But if they sur
vived that political holocaust, is it
not possible for them to survive
through the medium of another party?
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-11-09
misunderstanding?

Apparently Wisconsin officials OF
someone has been reading too much
European war news. During the past
few days several Minnesota trucks
have been seized after crossing into
Wisconsin from Minnesota because
they did not have a Wisconsin license
on them" Secretary of State Mike
Holm of Minnesota, does not know the
reason, except that it may be mis-
understanding.
Mr.. Holm confessed he is bewil-
dered over the sudden abrogation OF
the reciprocity pact of the two states
which permitted free inter-passage
of motor vehicles.
1t is supposed that basis of the 'war
move" was a complaint by George
Rickemann, Wisconsin motor vehicle
commissioner, that Wisconsin truck
ers coming into Minnesota Monday
were required to obtain Minnesota
licenses. Among them, he said, were
Wisconsin farmers bringing livestock
and farm produce into the Twin
Cities.
Somebody, therefore is either hav-
ing joke played or a misunder-
standing exists, which is unpleasant.
We are all thankful, however, that
we are in the good old United States
and not over in Europe where armed
forces would be sure to be already
on the scene. Here, it is certain, the
whole situation will soon be ironed
out and peace will again reign.
However, an element may be pres
ent in the interstate situation which
sometimes causes trouble among
neighbors in our domestic life.

THEY NEED HJALMAR PETERSEN
(Mankato Free Press)
(Oct. 81, 1887

(Oct. 81, 1857
1t just occurs to us that those
political commentators who presume
that Hjalmar Petersen is solely inter-
ested in a return bout for the COVER
norship, because he issued a state
ment last week assailing the present
leadership of the Farmer-Labor party,
are looking at only one side of the
equation.
The Farmer-Labor party needs
Hjalmar Petersen's leadership a great
deal more than he needs the party
nomination, if that party is by any
possible chance to make a return to
power in the 1910 election.
1t is seldom that a party, rejected
in such a demoralizing defeat, has
a candidate to turn to who can lift
it above the reputation of the voters
and ask for a return vote of con-
fidence with clean hands. Yet it is
entirely possible for Mr.. Petersen to
do this. And he will be on consist
ent ground and have the full con-
fidence of large following outside
of his own party in doing it.
The spoils, the extravaganza, the
corruption that ran rampant in the
Farmer-Labor party during the Ben
son administration were all con-
demned first, not by the Republicans
but rather by Hjalmar Petersen him.
self during the primary campaign of
1888. The court actions, the convic-
tons, the guilty pleas and the prison
sentences that have been melted out
to Benson henchmen all leave Peter
sen clean and unsullied. He promised
the very housekeeping that is taking
place-his was the first voice raised
to warn the people of these faithless
servants.
So now, when he calls for new
leadership of the Farmer-Labor party
that will return it to the ideals and
principles of its founders he is not
the unsuccessful candidate of 1888
asking for another chance. Rather
he is a prophet with honor pointing
out the truth of the warnings he
voiced during that campaign.
If he is willing to again stand for
governor, the Farmer-Labor party is
fortunate to have such an opportunity
to redeem itself Of course the pres
ent bosses and Mexican generals will
not want him-he is responsible for
the end of their reign.
But it will be strange indeed if the

titled the Mechanics, Printers and
Church Members party as any other

appeal.
1t is known fact, of course, that
Mr.. Petersen was given substantial
support in the primaries year ago
by citizens of Republican affiliation
and many of them have since urged
him to change his alignment and it
would seem as though the state
ment he made Thursday does not
close the door on his opportunity for
doing so.
