cabinet quite well. He was made
the keynoter to the G. o. P. con-
vention at Philadelphia, not to serve
for the masses of the people in
America, but to whoop it up for the
war god Roosevelt, Rothchilds,
Morgenthaus, and another form of
depravity, Wendell Willkie. We lis
tened sincerely hoping to hear some
singular form of honesty uttered by
this mouthpiece of the enemies of
our people.
His speech was flop as far as the
people of our nation were concerned.
He had no farm program as he copied
the rotten raw deal bandits triplefA.
Most people believe that he borrowed
the Democratic platform and read it
to the people of the nation. He
was instrumental in defeating the
Republican party by his great choice
of Wendell Willkie to lead the Re-
publicans down to defeat by the
choice of the war mongers.
Then as time went on we had the
unfortunate death of Senator Lun-
deem. This gave our Hitler an OPP
portunity to fill the vacancy by Sc
lecting a real agent for the money
changers and war hawks. Joe Ball
is the name of this prodigy. He
Grapes himself in the flag, then he
shouts democracy like coyote while
he plays ball with the war racket
GERS.
We who were called in 1917 to
serve the House of Morgan well
recognize the fact that neither Stas-
sen nor his Charlie Mccarthy are
fooling us. Wall streets agents speak
the same language.
Mr.. Stassen is too weak to come out
in the open and declare himself in
favor of participation in Europe's
war of bandits. He uses his Ball as
a microphone. All we hear is war
industries for Minnesota. Let these
birds remember that war and war
mongers have not built our great
state.
The people will again soon decide
for themselves as to who shall rep
resent them at the capitol and in
the Senate. Come what may, we do
sincerely hope that the dark blot
on our great state will be removed.
Our people will not tolerate this
political gangrene forever. Let us
clean house.

Get at the Causes

No true American imbued with the
ideals of liberty and democracy can
agree with Adolf Hitler and his
philosophy of government. There is
little use of talking about that per-
son or dwelling upon his depreda-
tons, for Americans are agreed in
their opposition to his actions and his
dictatorial form of vernm n t.
Therefore, let us not waste time talk
ing about Hitler, but let us get at
the root of the evil-the reasons for
his rise to power. One individual
is not the cause of world conditions,
he is simply one of the results of a
combination of circumstances. WHIP
ing him off the earth will not solve
the economic problems that cause
him to be temporarily powerful.

WRONG MAN PICKED
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov Americana:
In 1886 the people of Minnesota
elected Ernest Lundeen to represent
them in the United States Senate.
AS his foreign policy was at all times
one of non-involvement in foreign
entanglements, his election clearly
reflects the wishes of the people.
Ernest Lundeen gave the people the
kind of representation they elected,
based upon the sound democratic
principles of government by consent
of the governed.
Unfortunately due to his untime-
ly death, we have today in his place
a man who so far has disregarded
the wishes of the people, and at
tached himself to that small but
powerful group seeking to involve
the United States in the European
war. If Joseph H. Ball has any de-
sire to remain in his present position
beyond the next election, he should
begin to adhere to the principle Of
government by consent of the gov
erned like his predecessor did.

The Folly of Man

We can rest assured that the men
in the army, navy, and air service
are doing some deep thinking these
days. Here is what one young man
wrote in a letter:
"Since I have been on duty it has
been my fortune to take some long
distance flights on the army's big
bombers. These are huge babies
better described as the flying fort
resses carrying tons and tons of
bombs. Strange the thoughts going
through ones mind flying ten thous-
and feet above the earth in one of
these expensive babies.
"At the control sits young man,
he may be anyone's son or brother,
with a mission to perform. You sit
there wondering why man in all his
ingenuity has not devised a way
to use his material gains for the
benefit of mankind instead of for
destruction. You climb down in the
bomber's pit. Below you a target,
perhaps a battleship marked out on
the ground, looks like half tooth
pick. The bombardier sights, releases
a lever and seconds afterwards puff
of smoke-a direct hit.
"Tools of destruction, these words
raced through my mind as the big
ship was skilfully landed after an
afternoon and an all night flight.
The stars, the moon, and the sky
seemed to cry out against man and
all his folly"

PROPAGANDA
Ortonville, MINI.

Editor Askov American:
The American press in general,
with few exceptions, has consistent
ly fought all the new deal reform
movements. In general the press
was against monetary reform, the
securities act, social security, court
reform, the various farm plans and,
in fact, all legislation to improve the
general welfare of the common man.
1t was only after these bills became
law that tolerant attitude was taken
towards them. Generally, the press
has supported the new deal foreign
policy.
The returns taken in for the sale
of newspapers and most magazines
would not pay for their publication
and distribution. The vast majority
of the money must come from other
sources-from the advertisers and
huge sums spent during political
campaigns and other publicity drives,
either advocating or retarding. It
has been my observation that the
press has an uncanny sense of feel
ing on which side the filthy lucre is
and invariably the vast majority of
brilliant writers" take to the right
side, like flies take to honey. At times
they scratch each others backs until
it nearly becomes disgusting.
Of course the wrong side also hands
out little taffy and attracts a few
writers and newspapers, Germany,
Russia and other undesirables have
spent considerable money in this
country for propaganda-and some
of the lesser lights horn in on this.
But, even before the war England
spent by far the larger amount for
publicity, which some of us would
call propaganda, in this country.
Huge sums from all reports are be-
ing spent at the present time. Some
of the foreign propagandists are be-
coming so bold, that they are attack
ing American citizens of previous
ly good record" and they are getting
good backing. If some foreign royal
reprobate tours the country good
publicity is given, even if our own
officials are pulled out of receiving
lines. When you read the colored
news, think about it.

PINE COUNTY RURAL
SCHOOL NEWS
A. E. GUSTAFSON. County Supt.
Last Vacancies Filled.

Substitute teacher, Mrs. Hazel Mel
son Molis, at Pine Lake, district 81,
is now replaced by c. j. O'Connor
who has been teaching in North Da-
kota and South Dakota.
Mrs. Molis will have charge of
school district 83 in Birch Creek
township, which opens for an eight
month term on September 29.
Mrs. Lorraine Thomas Bach COM
pleted her substitute work for dis
trict 1913, Ogema township, and has
been replaced by Mrs. Catherine
Wolf Svardahl. Mrs. Svardahl is also
a product of the Cloverdale country
and has successfully taught Pine
county rural schools prior to 1884.
Mrs. Elizabeth Swanson Carlson
opened the Danforth school, district
IA, last week. Mrs. Carlson is an
other one of our young married
teachers who taught our Pine county
rural schools a number of years
prior to 1884. We are fortunate in
having these people come to our res
cue in this emergency. Our positions
are now all filled. Many other coun-
ties were not so fortunate. Eleven
vacancies were still reported last
week in one neighboring county.
Saving Money.
District 81, Groningen, can show us
a definite example or two in saving
money in buying textbooks as we
have often recommended the past
number of years. Mrs. Helen Lang
strom and Mrs. Maxine Ruby Oden-
dahl, who teach district 81, made
out the book order to a Twin Cities
company for over $160, as agreed
by the school board. However, these
same books amounted to only about
$13O when the teachers and the board
checked the publishers price lists
and ordered direct from the publish
ers. This is saving on that amount
of books of little more than $50
by sending direct to the publishers.
Another argument in favor of most
orders being sent direct to the pub
fishers is the copyright date prob
lem. Groningen has found that their
last spring book order was filed by
the Twin Cities company with books
whose copyright dates are six to II
years old.
Since the state rules for accredited
schools require text books of copy
right dates of less than 10 years old,
you can plainly see the injustice
done to some of our rural districts
when orders are thus filled by these
book jobbers that charge 20 per cent
to Is per cent commissions on out
dated books. Motto: Check your
copyright dates when you order.

HITLER'S DILLINGER

Editor Askov American:
Hitler's Dillinger is on the march
in Minnesota.
I am not absolutely deaf or blind
to what the needs of the people Of
our state are. I can cite the fact that
1 am 81 years old and represent the
third generation of our people in this
state.
Politically, our state often has pre-
sented real desire to enforce clean
government. Its people have shown
desire to trust their future to men
of clean honest character rather than
party.
With the advent of the New Deal
coming into power in Washington
there arose illicit powers and I'M
American activities within our state
government. To date, these un-
American playboys are feverishly
working for the political racketeers
in Washington and their chosen host
of war racketeers.
BY 1888 many of the good honest
people of our state felt that the
powers behind the throne in st. Paul
should be broken. It was then that
the present Governor came into the
arena. Here at last for the first time
the people of Minnesota had the un-
usual opportunity to vote for a jewel
Yes, and I must mention he was
honest. No one believes this by
now.
He was very close to the ill-clad
and ill-fed. He was a deepseated
friend of the workers and the farm
erS.
Just previous to the election in
1888 l spoke over statewide radio
broadcast urging the people of oul
state to support this red-headed saw
or. After his induction into office we
soon learned that his loving promise:
were just filthy gas. He had the So
called labor relations laws passed
putting the workers in a straight
jacket. Since that time he has re.
peatedly boosted of no strikes. Mel
Their Stain nor Hitler allow any
strikes, so in this respect he is like
these birds.
He has shown an over abnormal
desire to cruelty those of different
political faiths. He has no homes
regard for our American way of life
He apparently has not heard of the
Constitution. He gave us all big
doses of hot gas. This got beyond
the borders of his cattle pen. Peo-
pie outside of the state were led by
stealth to think that Moses was still
on earth.
BY this time Wall street money
changers and New Deal political rack
eteers, war mongers and other Dill
fingers, had learned behind the cur
tains that he would serve in their

Government Issues
BY Hjalmar Petersen.
Resolutions May Change;
Principles Stand

What a turn of events we are
witnessing!
Following the World war of 1914-18
the boys who returned home from
France were fed up on war. Dur
ing the % years following, the
American Legion and other service
mems organizations passed resolu-
tons upon resolutions against war.
They decided that in the event
of future wars wealth must be con-
scripted as well as manpower. They
decided that there should be vote
on the part of the people, if we were
to enter war again. They decided
also that America should have no
more expeditionary forces.
Step by step, following the ma
tional election of 1910, our country
has been carried nearer and nearer
to war.
The platforms of the two dominant
political parties opposed Americas
entry into foreign wars, and the
candidates for the presidency, Roose-
welt and Willkie, talked long and
loud against American entry. We
were promised that our boys would
not be sent to foreign battlefields.
President Roosevelt said that con-
voying means shooting and shooting
means war. A few days ago, Secre-
tary Knox announced that conveying
is taking place and will be continued
In his recent radio talk, the President
announced that he had given orders
to the navy to shoot German sub
marines on sight, if they interfered
with American ships in our defensive
waters.
In spite of the fact that sincere
labor leaders and fundamental think
ers have said for years and years
that the workers, the farmers, and
the masses are the people who suffer
most from war, now comes the Min
nesota Federation of Labor and goes
down the line for the Roosevelt for
eign policy.
The American Legion at it's ma
tional convention in Milwaukee de-
cided that the Roosevelt foreign poll
cy is all right and that now it is in
order to have American expeditionary
forces. What change from advocat-
ing no expeditionary forces, conscrip-
ton of wealth as well as manpower,
and referendum vote on the ques-
. ton of war
) AS so often in politics, jobs, patron
age, and the immediate is what gets
the attention.
{ War settles nothing, only promotes
more wars. Certainly no one can
blame an unemployed for desiring
employment, but war economy will
take the place of peace economy only
for short time. And what a head
ache after war!
