Star Journal Always Has
Its Candidates

Hubert H. Humphrey who was de-
feated by Mayor Marvin L. Kline of
Minneapolis, in the election Monday
apparently is an aggressive and able
young man. He is also an appeal
ing and forceful speaker
But as a liberal, Humphrey could
hardly expect to rest the office OF
mayor from the conservative Kline
by appealing, as he did, to what he
termed progressive Republicans
who had voted for such candidates
as Willkie, Ball, and Judd. Hum
phrey certainly ought to know that
those men are the candidates of the
Star Journal and their auxiliary
Minneapolis dailies, and as such can
be depended upon to vote the wishes
and demands of the wealthy for Ruml
tax programs and legislation of that
character.
In this city campaign, the Star
Journal as always, was very subtle
In the beginning, the newspaper
policy-makers had it appear that
they were giving an even break to
both candidates for mayor. Before
the end of the campaign it was evil
dent to experienced observers that
the newspaper wanted Kline re-
elected.
A lengthy article by a university
faculty member telling how Sister
Elizabeth Kenny of infantile paralysis
fame, came to locate in Minneapolis
and who should have the credit for
it, was published in the paper. An
editors note with explanations from
Mayor Kline was attached to the
article. Would the Star Journal dc
as much for candidate whom they
oppose?
In the same issue was letter in
the readers column signed by two
university students, commencing Mr.
Humphrey. The heading, placed on
the article by the Star Journal man.
agement was sarcastically: "Two
Students for Humphrey" Had the
newspaper been neutral or had Hum
phrey been its candidate, the head
ing, without coloring, might have
been, For Humphrey" or substance
matter on the article.
In his radio talk on Saturday night
before the election Mr.. Humphrey
got slightly off the reservation or
consistency. While mentioning his
interest in free enterprise, in the
same breath he spoke approvingly
of Willkie, Ball and Judd, candidates
of the Minneapolis Star Journal
whose practical application of free
enterprise is daily newspaper mon

Inasmuch as this was his first try

KEEPS HEAD COOL
Editor ASkov American:

CQltOr ASkOV american.
Giving due honor to President
Roosevelt we can say he keeps his
head COOL
With all the disturbances he and
his administration have to deal with
at present, his management is as
good as we may reasonably expect
it to be.
We never should look for some
thing extreme from him; he is very
moderate towards the left as well as
to the right.
There was material enough in the
farm bloc, the Ruml plan and the
coal miners struggle to make any ma
jority leader lose his head.
Our chauvinistic papers have made
plenty of propaganda that might
have caused total loss of democracy
if acted upon.
OF course in times of war the lid
has to be put on much of the reg
ular routine of democracy. Never
thelesS care should be taken to keep
in existance the very foundation OF
the principles and to build upon that
foundation better world than we
came into.

from Hitler, and Hitler does not want
his humble partner to give up now.
So, it does look as though italy
will have to suffer the consequences,
all right
Russians Share.
Soviet Russia's share in the great
offensive is already important, for
on her long front about 100 Nazi
(and affiliated) divisions are being
kept engaged; that is, there are pretty
close to two million German soldiers.
under Hitler's command, simply tied
up there in such way that he can
not move them to other points where
he may soon need them the worst
way.
Should he abandon his inva-
sion of Russia in order to make
use of his troops elsewhere, he
would lose completely whatever
he has gained, and, furthermore,
the Russians would be in position
to supplement with a terrible
rear attack the frontal attacks
made by the United Nations on
the southern and western front.
So, Hitler is in real pinch.
Otherwise, speaking of the Rus
sian front, the general situation has
not been changed for many weeks,
except for the fact that the Soviet
air force is becoming increasingly
active against the Germans, and
shooting down lots of enemy planes
behind the Nazi lines. 1t evidently
is a fact, for the time being, that
Russia is unable to reconquer any
lost ground, but it is a still more
important fact that she compels the
NaZi troops to remain and to fight
in such a way as to exclude COM
pletely their employment elsewhere
It's not what you call passive war
although it may, at glance, look so;
no, it is very active campaign,
contributing to the success of the
general offensive now being planned
in its final details against the op-
pressors of the civilized world
Relative Quiet.
On the Far Eastern front relative
quiet prevails; some fighting is in
progress in China where the Japanese
appear to have been temporarily
stalled in their attempts to reach and
conquer Chungking; around New
Guinea and the Solomon Islands there
is sporadic fighting between the
American and the japanese forces,
and on Kiska in the Aleutians there
have been some minor American
raids. Otherwise-all quiet, in way.

Perhaps the quickest way to get
on the track is to ask another ques-
ton. If you are one of ''the people"
who owns a government bond, and
if you are also "the government"
who sells you the bond, why don't
you just pay yourself? If you are
both the government and a govern
ment bondholder, you owe yourself!
Can a man be his own debtor?
A Short Crop.
The report of the Department of
Agriculture on crop prospects is not
very encouraging. The estimated
yield for 1943 will fall far below that
of last year, due to the backward
spring, floods, shortage of labor and
machinery. This can only mean fur
ther restrictions in consumption, but
we'll weather it somehow.

Brabec President Of
North Pine Electric

Louis Brabec of Willow River will
be president and Harold Mack, Fin
layson, vice president, of the North
Pine Electric Cooperative, Inc, for
the ensuing year following action
taken by that organization after
it's third annual meeting June S.
The other members of the board are
John Osladil, Finlayson, treasurer;
Ben. J. Erickson, Sandstone, sec
retary; and William Pembleton and
John Waletzko, Willow River, and
Otto Graber, Brook Park, directors.
Nearly $50 people were in attend
ance at the meeting, held in the Fin
layson auditorium The reports of
officers were discussed and approved.
Among the new business was the
shortening of the pay period to the last
day of each month. The treasurer's
report showed that the company is
on a paying basis, having accumu-
lated surplus which will be used
to pay off on the long-term debt.
In the voting for directors, Almer
E. Ecklund of Askov was among those
chosen by the membership but at
the organizational meeting offered his
resignation for the reason that he
would not have time to do justice
to the dictatorship. 1t was the opin-
ion of the board that to show an
equal distribution of directors, Will
liam Pembleton of Willow River be
appointed to serve for the coming
year.
John Brandt, president of Land
O'Lakes Creameries, Inc, who was to
be the chief speaker at the after
noon session could not be present
because of laSt-minute difficulties in
the matter of roll-back of butter
prices. A Land OLakes movie reel
and comedy were shown instead.

present critics. No, we haven't gone
over to Mr.. Lewis or anyone else;
in fact, we haven't liked many of the
things which Mr.. Lewis has stood
for in the past.
But there is such thing as simple
justice and to date Mr.. Lewis miners
haven't received that.
AS we've pointed out, their work
is very dangerous, yet they are very
poorly paid and they have to labor
under the worst of conditions. It's
no secret that many of the mine
operators have profiteered on the
miners in renting them the shabby
houses which pass as their homes
and in selling them necessary goods
from the company stores.
Besides, when raises have been
granted, we, the consumers, have
paid many times those raises in in
creased prices for our coal.
We don't know how Mr.. Roosevelt
can do it and "save face" but out
of this present difficulty the miners
have something coming and when
conditions are as bad as they are in
the coal mining industry it may be
popular but it isn't fair to call them
and their leaders traitors to our
country.
Besides, there need be no great
alarm. It is our understanding that
there is plenty of coal above ground,
so actually in refusing to work with
out a contract the miners aren't clos
ing down any essential war factory
for want of coal.

Dear Friend:
On this Memorial day our thoughts

given their lives on the far flung
battle fields, of land, sea and sky
This little Memorial letter is from
one that has been commissioned to
watch over your loved ones.
1t was my sad duty to bury your
loved one. Knowing the sorrow that
is yours wanted you to know that
he did not die in vain. His was a
fruitful life we'll lived according to
the highest traditions of American
manhood.

that is where our loved ones are.
They are a step ahead of us. They
have passed through the gate of this
life into the fuller life where there
are no sorrows.
On this day as on every day our
grand flag was unfurled to the world
a symbol of freedom and righteous
ness. It shall live on because of men
like yours who have died that it
shall remain on high.
If can be of help in any way
please feel free to write and 1 shall
try to answer what 1 can for you.
May God bless and protect you and
give you Peace.

Politics Left Behind?

When Harold E. StaSSen left the
governorship the latter part of April
to become lieutenant commander in
the navy, the Minneapolis Star Jour-
nal-Tribune-Times daily newspaper
combination stated that the governor
would leave politics behind.
When the governor had two articles
in the Saturday Evening Post later,
excerpts of which were published in
the Minneapolis dailies, those news
papers were careful to give the read
ers the impression that the articles
were written before Mr.. Stassen left
the governors office. Leaving poll
tics behind" is an easy matter for a
candidate of the Star Journal whose
interests will be looked after con-
stantly by their writer's.
Here is a little sample. In the
April 29th issue, the Murray County
Herald lauded the retiring governor.
The article was saved and part of it
was published in the Minneapolis
Sunday Tribune of June 13 as fol-
lows:
''It cannot be gainsaid that
Harold Stassen is genius" Sem
atOr ]. ". Weber says in his
SlaytOn Herald. "NOt the usual
type of genius, but the type who
thinks things out to logical
conclusion, guided always by the
loftiest ideals and the finest
Christian ideOlogy."
In addition to the above, Senator
Weber also wrote that Stassen be-
longs to the people of the state and
nation, and then Vim really scared
to the sky with this climax: "He
belongs to the ages"
The last quotation by Senator
Weber was left out of the Tribune,
likely because it would make his re-
marks ridiculous. The Tribune and
Star Journal, with their big organiza-
ton and checks, of course, have more
fineSSe.
When Lincoln was assaSsinated,
the statement then made that she be-
longs to the ages" went down in
history. To make the same state
ment with reference to loan shark
steel trust governor apparently seems
far fetched even to the Cowles news
papers.
