Most schools will reopen on Tues

to your local school board to decide
whether or not school should open q
week or two later than state schedule.
Most of our large combined state

ers' supply boxes will be assembled

have 21 vacancies to fill, but our

agement to the advancing forces of

agement to the advancing forces of
liberty throughout the world.
"But, in addition to these purposes
we must also see to it that our coun-
try, after the war is over, retains
adequate military, aeronautical and
naval strength to implement and, if
necessary, protect and enforce it's
foreign policy
Mr.. Willkie has been travelling all
over the world, talking and writing
about world organization for peace,
cooperation and understanding. If we
are to have such an organization after
this war to insure against future wars
we must have faith in it, we must GO
into it wholeheartedly.
Granted the support of the people,
world organization without power
to enforce its orders might be like
a justice of the peace without a con-
stable, or a legislative body enacting
laws without police and other law
enforcement officers to put them into
effect when not respected.
When nations are ready to practice
the golden rule then we can have a
successful world organization And,
of course, it must be understood that
the world organization be supreme
1t is to be above and supreme to the
government of any one or a group
of nations. 1t cannot be just an as
semblage of man passing resolutions
or international edictS and orders
without power of enforcement.
Upon entering world organization
each nation must ask itself if it is
ready for earnest cooperation. Are
we willing to abide by the decisions
of the overall world organization
in international affairs, in foreign pol
icy? If another Mussolini bobs up and
sets out to massacre and conquer a
defenseless people like the Ethi-
opians, are we willing and ready to
give complete cooperation to the
world organization in stopping such
outrages in the inception through
economic sanctions or military force
if necessary? Are we more interested
in humanity than wealth and power?
A world organization to do away
with war can not be some halfway
proposition. 1t is going to be effective
or ineffective. A lot of dramatic talk
about world organization, "get it
started" ''get it going" everybody
join" "now is the time" will not help
if we do not enter from the stand
point of sincere cooperation. Other
nations must do likewise.
And yet one of the men who does
the most talking for world organiza-
ton advocates adequate military
strength for the United States "to
implement and, if necessary, protect
and enforce its foreign policy"

The Toll Amongst The
Minnesota Liberals

On Sunday, August %, it will be
seven years since Minnesota's able
liberal leader, Governor Floyd B..
Olson, died. On that day, as in for
mer years, an appropriate memorial
program will take place to commem-
crate the life and work of the popular
governor. The program will be pre-
sented at the Olson monument on
Olson Memorial Highway and Penn
Avenue North, Minneapolis.
Seven years is short time in
political history However, looking
back over those few years we find
that considerable number of Mime
sota's liberal leaders have followed
the late governor to the grave - in
fact an unusually large number since
1886.
Within few weeks after the death
of Olson followed the death of Mag
nus Johnson, former U. S. senator
and representative in congress, and
Knud Wefald, also former repre-
sentative in congress, and at the time
of his death railroad and warehouse
commissioner.
U. S. Senator Ernest Lundeen died
in 1910 in an airplane crash, and last
spring saw the passing of Minnesota S
dean of liberal leaders, S. A. Stock
well, who had served many years as
representative and senator in the
state legislature, beginning that serv-
ice back in the nineties. Other liberal
leaders who had served in the public
life of Minnesota, that died since the
passing of Floyd Olson, and the Of
fices held, include:
John P. Devaney, chief justice of
the state supreme court; Joseph
Poirier, municipal judge, Minneapolis;
Thomas Latimer, mayor, Minneapolis;
Henry G. Teigan and Dewey w.
johnson, representatives in congress;
Emil S. Youngdahl, representative in
the state legislature and Hennepin
county commissioner.
State Senators John j. White, Ogil-
vie; Herman Schmechel, Fairfax;
Richard Kelly, Chisholm; A. o. De-
void, Minneapolis; George H. Lom-
men, Eveleth.
State Representative Albert j.
Samec, ST. Paul; A. G. Welch, Glen
coe; and Kenneth A. Lindstrom,
Minneapolis.
Another person, Thomas Meighen
of Preston, who did not hold public
office, but was one of the best known
and most active liberal leaders in the
state, died within the last few years.
That list of 20 is a formidable
group from one state in seven years,
and certainly formidable number
from the liberal group. Only five of
them were well up in years, namely
Stock we'll, Schmechel, Meighen,
Welch and White, ranging from 70
to IS. The others were in their best
years from the early thirties up to
81, the age attained by Magnus john
son. Floyd Olson was but "A.
Whether or not politics or public
office is more strenuous than other
professions, trades, or occupations
may be difficult to answer. The
tenseness, the strain at times, is sure
to be wearing on the nerves and it
may be hard on the physical well be-
ing of the individual. However the
fact remains that the toll amongst
liberals of Minnesota in recent years
has been great.

Another statement made by Mr..
Willkie at the Indiana meeting on
August IL, should also be noted. Ac-
cording to the United Press he called
on the COP to convince the public
of its sincerity"
Look out if it becomes necessary
to propagandize or high pressure peo-
pie into believing that an individual
or organization is sincere. If the
Republicans want to lose, all they
need do is to let Willkie continue his
talking and nominate him for presi-
dent again.

that they had been trying to treat
everyone alike, and he honestly
thought that this practice had been
followed. Il believe that you will
get the full offer for your prop
erty. The government may pay
more than the appraisal to make
sure that you have a fair deal,"
he said.
The title expense of the prop
erty is handled by the federal
government so as to make sure
that there is no more expense to
the public than possible. The
only charges that will be held
against the public is the expense
of back taxes, mortgages and ir-
rigation fees. Some people will
be asked to leave Immediately, he
went on to say, after they have
signed the papers transferring
their property to the government.
But / want to warn you. Do
not leave your property or homes
before you have received receipt
from the government acknowledge

blame the surveyors for the simple
reason they did not know any
more about the proposed plan than
that they were supposed to do the
surveying. They were sent to
get the wanted information-the
correct figures and dimensions of
the buildings, ETC., and that is all
they knew about the project.
The appraising has been done
and is being done rapidly. With
in a reasonable length of time the
government will tell the people
when they can get their money for
their places. But the Richland
people must not forget that the
areas are large and the appraisers
have to go slow in order to find
the true value of the property.
The general plan is to get the best
appraisers and find the best APP
praisals. After the appraisals have
been found they are checked and
rechecked.

introduced Col. O'Bryan. He said

to them. If this isn't done then
there is the threat of vandals. In
some places we have worked in, -
the Colonel said, "where the peo-
pie didn't turn over their prop
erty soon enough or stay on it
until the government took physical
possession of it, there was rampant
vandalism. Because of this the
appraisal of the place was cut
down because of the many win

other thing I want to warn you
about is keeping the project man.

Col. O'Bryan mentioned the
project as being a rapid one and
many buildings will have. to be
used. So make sure your prop
erty is cared for. Watch out for
vandalism. Cooperate with the
office.
