was drunk, which was so. Before
this car had time to reach our car /
turned sideways to keep from being
thrown over an embankment.
Fortunately enough our car was hit
in the side and by being much heavier
than the other car, it was damage
very much. When the other car hit
our car it stood straight up on our car,
then rolled over in ditch with its
driver standing on his head.
After this we were taken to Anker
Hospital in St. Paul for treatment of
our injuries. The driver of the car
that hit ours gave his name as A. NJ.
Olson of Luck, Wisconsin. He was
arranged in court Tuesday morning in
ST. Paul and fined $4,000 for driving

FOREIGN RELATIONS AFFECT
POLITICAL MANEUVERING

Like 1916 the country's future for
eign relations are likely to be linked
with the election campaign this year.
Signs of this are becoming more evil
dent daily. 1t is hardly secret that
one of the principal reasons for the
Presidents projected western trip is to
air Administration foreign policy, to
convince western voters especially that
America can not be blind to what is
happening in Europe, to attempt to
switch isolation sentiment which is
holding particularly strong west of the
Mississippi.
And, there is a good reason for that
viewpoint because we have more at
state in the realest treasure in Amer
ica, the blood and lives of our youth,
than in other sections. Statistics show
that in 1917-18 we, in Minnesota, fur
nished approximately 4,750 MORE
MEN AND BOYS out of each 100000
called into service than did many
Eastern and Southern states. Why?
Because we are healthier and because
our youth are better equipped, both
mentally and physically than in less
favored sections.

FLAYs BOMBING OF NEGRO
HOME IN WASHINGTON

WASH, May-(Special to CNA)-A
delegation of ten Negro and white
citizens, headed by Martin Chancey,
city secretary of the Communist Par
ty, has protested the bombing of Ne
gro teachers home, to Commissioner
Russell Young.
The bomb outrage occurred after the
teacher, Mrs. Holland, refusal to yield
to threats designed to force her to
move from her home.
Speaking to the Commissioner in the
name of the delegation, Chancey de-
clared that the administration is quick
to condemn violence when it occurs
somewhere in Scandinavia. But
when house is bombed in the capital
of the United States, no real action is
taken either by the Federal or District
police, nor has any statement been
made either by the President, who is
in charge of the District government
or by local officials, condemning this
outrageous action against a Negro
citizen"
The delegation demanded immediate
Grand Jury action and called upon the
Department of Justice to launch an
independent investigation.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

L. R. Simons of Bull, village attor-
ney, is attacking the absentee voters
ballot for villages and cities having
no registration of voters. He brought
the subject before the legislative con-
ference of the Minnesota League OF
Municipalities meeting at st. Paul
Friday. Mr. Simons in leading the
attack against the ballot, claimed there
was no way to tell if these absent
voters did not also vote where they
reside, besides he claims they do not
bother to fill the ballots correctly. He
said that out of "a ballots in the
recent Bull election. Nine were not
counted for this reason. Every citizen
is entitled to a vote and instead OF
depriving the absentee voter OF this
chance to cast his ballot, some safe
guard should be devised for protecting
his rights.

Illegal Entries.

Wholesale importation of merchan-
disc purchased in Canadian trading

18 months.
An estimated $4,000 worth of mer-
chandise has been brought in since

customs officials, according to Harry
Anderson, deputy collector of customs
here. Customs regulations require that
such merchandise be declared to the
customshouse nearest the point OF

Since information concerning the in
vestigation was first given out Monday
steady stream of local people has
filed through the U. S. customs serv-
ice office in the federal building here

ly imported
Where they have come forward will
ingly and have offered unpaid duties.
and have established the fact that
there was no intent to defraud the
government, it has been recommended
to the Duluth collector of customs that
penalties be withheld. It is probable
that these recommendations which will
be forwarded from Duluth to WASH
ington, will be followed
About 80 Ely people and 800 from
other parts of Minnesota and sur
rounding states are involved Infor-
nation concerning those from out of
the city is being turned over to the

selves with the customs service.
According to information given The

ing purchases at trading posts on the
Canadian side of the border, what
was purchased, and when purchases
we're made. There was no informant
in the investigation, it was further
stated
To date duty payments have ranged
from a few dollars to nearly 500.
In cases where duty payments are
not forthcoming, the act will be fully
enforced, The Miner has been in
