THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Dr Chas. K. Swartz, collegiate pro
fessor of geology at Johns Hopkins
university, whom the seniors of that
institution recently jyoted the best
all-around professor," was requested
to name those qualities which he con
sidered must be present in a student
to qualify him as a good, all-around
college man. Here is what he said:
"First of all the good student must
have a good minda mind capable of
clear think^g and clear utterance. His
must be a keen mind with an alert
ness born of 100 per cent enthusiasm
in his work, as in every department
of human endeavor success in one's
studies depends upon one's whole
heartedness in his work. Further
more, a student's enthusiasm must be
so high as to equip him for continuous
spasmodic efforts to work
that may not be always agreeable.
The highest type of intellectual effort,
I believe, is attained by the man who
lives among mennot by the recluse
or the scholar who shuts himself off
from his fellowmen. The all-around
student holds a deep interest in the
affaiTS of the daythe affairs of the
world at large as well as the college
world about him. He should be versed
in the affairs of the government and
other matters the knowledge of which
is desirable for good citizenship."
This is a most logical answer to the
question asked, and students would do
well to read, mark, learn and inward
ly digest it.
Bergdoll, the infamous slacker,
cables that he will shortly marry a
German fraulein and send his wife to
America to bring suit against the
government for restoration of his mil
lion-dollar fortune confiscated by the
alien property custodian, but the chief
says that the wife of an enemy is an
enemy also. This stands to reason,
and if this person attempts to land
on American soil she should be re
fused admission. The property of that
dirty scalawag Bergdoll should be
held by the United States until the
slimy reptile returns to this country
and serves a sentence in Leavenworth.
We would suggest that should he ever
come back he be tried 'before Judge
Landis, who would doubtless give him
the limit. As to Bergdoll's mother
she is no better than he, for she aided
and abbeted her libertine son in mak
ing his escape, clearly showing that
she is an undesirable. It is true that
she has been convicted of conspiracy
and a jail sentence imposed upon her
as well as a fine, but the sentence was
suspended upon payment of the fine.
Jn our opinion she should be deported
to join her despicable son.
Henry Ford, in a letter to officials
of his company throughout the coun
try, declares that ho has foiled cer
tain enemies (names not given) who
had sought to ruin him financially,
and has paid up the last of the notes
involved in buying out his stockhold
ers, amounting to $100,000,000. A
story w?.s afloat come time ago that
Mr. Ford was financially embarrassed,
but this wnc unfounded. The fnct is,
as near as we can ascerU'.in, that he
wanted to take up this $100,000,000 of
stock at one time and that, to ac
complish this, it was necessary for
him to borrow part of the money. But,
rather than pay the loan sharks 8 per
cent interest, he gave notes for the
stock, which spread the payment over
a period of time, and now he has
liquidated

Of what use are immigration re
striction laws when they are violated
as fhey were in New York last week
It is officially reported that 6,000
Italian immigrants over and above the
legal quota for June were permitted
to land by Commissioner Husband
the law was practically set at naught.
Italians are among the most undesira
ble immigrants that come to our
shores, but this is of little significance
when we take into consideration the
fact that the bars were lifted con
trary to law: There is a possibility
that these dagoes were permitted to
land in order to furnish some railroad
company with cheap labor. But this
is,.of course,conjectural. At any rate,
the matter should 'be investigated by
congress.
A dispatch from Helsingfors says
that General Kuraura, commanding
Japanese troops in the Vladivostok dis
trict, has announced that, in conse
quence of the situation developing in
eastern Siberia, he will be compelled
to occupy various towns of strategic
importance. Under one pretext or an
other Japan is continually encroaching
upon the territory of other nations.
While Great Britain holds the reputa
tion of being a land grabber, Japan
has her skinned a mile for voracity.
The mikado's government will ber.r
watching, but, more than that, a trim
ming of its claws is necessary.
Ofttimes at this season of the year
one hears derogatory remarks passed
in reference to young men who have
just graduated from college. This is
doing them great injustice, for most
of them are potentially useful and a
large number have worked hard in
^order to obtain money with which ,to
pay their tuition.
It does not look now as if the Unit
ed States government will take any
steps to bring back Bill Haywood,
the I. W. W. leader who jumped his
bond and escaped to Russia. Well,
we cannot see why this country should
be greatly disturbed if Haywood re
mained in Russia forever. The less
of his stripe wo have in the United
States to stir up insurrection the bet
ter.
A message from Washington tells us
that the president does not play golf
on Sunday. Pst, Warren! Keep this
stuff quiet or people will begin to
think you are a blue-law crank and
are opposed to baseball and fishing on
the Sabbath, which we are convinced
you are not. Mum's the word, War
ren otherwise the purists of the coun
try will be stirring up trouble.
It has been figured out by a life in
surance shark that while short skirts
have reduced the number of acci
dents to women they have increased
them among men. The increase of
mishaps to men is perhaps due to the
fact that they do not devote so much
attention to the dodging of automo
biles as in the days when skirts were
longer.
Having acquitted several of the
"lowerdowns" for crimes committed
during the war, the German supreme
court says it wiH"now try the "higher-
ups." The trial of war criminals
men who committed atrocious offenses
against the alliesis clearly a farce
and the German trial court is laugh
ing in its sleeve.
America boasts of its specialisation
in education, but in one instance, at
least, England has us beaten, for in
London there is a school for the
training of steeplejacks. You can
scarcely characterize this as anything
but higher education.
It is reported that the fur center of
the country is moving toward New
York. Well, it seems that this would
be the proper place to locate it con
sidering that New York has long been
noted for its skinning proclivities.
A well has been discovered in North
Dakota which, according to press re
ports, sucks wind at a terrific rate.
Probably a provision of the- Lord for
removing the hot air which has been
shot into the state by Townley.
If you observe closely those persons
who are continually denouncing the
politicians you will come to the con
clusion that they do not possess the
brains to become one.
To our mind there is &\ least one
important query which Tom Edison
omitted from his questionnaire, i. c.,
What becomes of all the buttons torn
off in the laundry
One great trouble with many of our
laws is that they are practically
toothless. What we need are laws
that will bite and bite hard.
OPINIONS OF EDITORS
A Glorious Choirus.
We believe that the nearest we
come to celestial music on this earth
is that of the birds in the early morn
ing hours, when they offer up a song
of thanksgiving to the creator. The
human voice is a wonderful thing, but
it pales into insignificance when its
best efforts are compared to the song
of the birds.Winnebago Enterprise.
Right You Are, Bess.
It is always such a relief to the
Gazette editor when the annual bac
caulaureate and chautauqua seasons
are over. Not that we have anything
but the keenest of respect and admira
tion for the two institutions, but any
one who has ever tried to work either
one of these words up into a good
looking, readable newspaper head will
share our antipathy.Bess Wilson in

Dempsey, the Slacker.
Few of the Americans in the world
war will enthuse much over Demp
sey's success in the coming fight.'
He is at least the champion American
slacker, and the people are not going
wild over the success of that class
just yet. But his antagonist in the
Coming meet is a real fellowfeared
neither shells nor fists, and should he
win, great will bo the rejoicings in
many hearts.Blue Earth Post.
Is It a Frame-Up?
By the way, just what call is there
for Townley and Langer galloping
around the country, in Minnesota, at
this particular time holding "joint de
bates?" Is Towniey paying Langer
just to give him a cftance to keep in
the limelight, or is Langer sincere in
his attempt to "expose" Townley?
This bird, who should now be serving
a jail sentence, don't nocd much ex

what he is.Brown's Valley Tribune.
A Deserved Tribute.
One of the finest things the Minne
sota Editorial association has been as
sociated with in a long time is a pro
posed memorial to the late Michael
Dowling, the famous Olivia optimist.
The memorial proposed is to be a 100
bed addition to the Gillette home for
crippled children at Phalen Park, St
Paul. Editor J. R. Landy of the Olivia
Times, a close friend of the deceased
Mr. Dowling, has been appointed chair,
man of the memorial committee by

the fence. Anoka collected a total of
sixteen hits, quite a few of them for
extra bases. Some slugging match,
for sure.
Next Sunday, June 19, Princeton
goes to Lindstrom to tackle this fast
summer resort bunch. Both teams are
playing winning ball and this should
be a dbntest well worth watching. The
team needs your support and if you
can get away next Sunday you had
better go. It's a fine trip and you may
help the boys win this game by your
rooting and moral suppart.
June 26 Anoka will play Princeton
at the Princeton fair grounds. They
will be up with blood in their eye and
revenge in their hearts, for the only
thing that will satisfy them now is
to defeat the Princetonians on the
Princeton grounds. Manager Manke
is making no rash boasts of what his
outfit can do to them, but he does say
tha,t he will have a ball team there at
the time and place which will fight
every minute till they either lose or
win.

Destroy the Bunch Grass.
It is against the law to allow bunch
grass to grow and spread on one's
property. Therefore all who have
bunch grass growing on their lot? in
the cemetery are hereby notified that
it must be removed at once.
The cemetery .committee is having
all streets-and alleys cleared of this
noxious weed. This they are having
done to protect people's property.
In order to exterminate bunch grass
a thorough job must be made of the
digging. The roots go down deep
four or five inches below the sodand
if any of them are loft they keep on
growing and the plant is soon above
the surface again. The plants are ap
parently as hardy as the persistent
dandelion. The dug-up plants will

continue growing under the most ad
verse circumstances, so they must not
be dumped where they will have any
opportunity to do so. The plants dug
from the lots must be hauled from the
cemetery grounds and dumped else
where.
A lot owner holds only that part of
the cemetery for which he holds a
deed and is not entitled to dump
refuse on any other part of the ceme
tery.
How Chauncey Does It.
"I have taken pains only to remem
ber the good things," said Chauncey
Depew the other day. *'I always for
get the unpleasant words and happen
ings. I charge my memory only with
the pleasant things that I want to re
member."
Do you see the cunning of thatthe
old fox? Not having a lot of sour,
bitter, miserable things festering in
his consciousness he can always be
happy inside. It is always sunshine
with him. His smile is real because
under it there is no' corroding memory
that batk in 1879 Pat Rooney said that
Chauncey Depew was a stem winding
61d wind machine. Pat never said it,
but if he did Depew would not have
remembered it. But if Pat had said
that Depew had a heart as wide as the
Hudson river-and as warm as a field
of wheat in July, then Chauncey would
have* gathered that in and remem
bered it.
Sorrows have fallen away from him,
for he has refused to remember sor
rows, although he has never forgot
ten joys. He has not been envious,
because he has not remembered envy,
but he has been kindly and generous
because these things have not been
forgotten. He has smiled instead of
whimpering, and at 87 years old he is
full of courage and optimism and en
ergy and is very certain he will finish
out his century. Probably he will, too,
for his sunshine bath internally has
kept him young.Kansas City Times.
Aid Flood Victims Through Red Cross.
Each of the 748 chapters of the
American Red Cross in the nine states
of the central division have been
authorized to receive contributions for
Colorado flood victims. A request for
this co-operation in the relief work,
which has been officially turned over
to the Red Cross by Governor O. H.
Shoup of Colorado, went out to chap
ters today from the office of Walter
Davidson, manager of the central divi
sion with headquarters at Chicago.
The proclamation of President Hard
ing requesting "all whose sympathies
are awakened to assist the labors of
the American Red Cross, which has
quickly organized to deal with the first
great need and will stand by until
home life can be re-established," to

chapter thus maks the' Red Cross the
national clearing house for this re
lief. Contributions made to chapters
may be sent either to Walter David

The Public Ignored.
The public is to get no benefit from
the 12 per cent reduction in railroad
employes*-wages, effective July 1, if
E. Morris, chairman of the roads' *"e
Central Freight association, states
the attitude of the companies in de
daring that there will be no general
reduction of freights under existing
conditions. Mr. Morris says a reduc
tion must ^depend on two thingsre
duction in operating costs and in
crease in business. A reduction in
costs is to take effect three weeks
hence. If the shipping .public is to
wait until there is an increase of
business under existing rates, it will
wait a long time, as the evidence is
overwhelming that rates are too high.
The rates must come down before
there is an increase of business. It
was pleaded in behalf of the~Vage re
ductions asked by the roads that such
reductions were necessary in order to
permit reductions of rates by which to
stimulate" business. Having obtained
^the wage reduction the railroads will
stir up an amount of .public indigna
tion that will bode them no good if
they refuse the rate reduction that was
to go along.
Both sides to the railroad contro
versy are conducting their fight in
contemptuous disregard to the pub
lic interest, as if it were of no conse
quence to them. On the one hand the
railroads are dissatisfied with the 12
per cent reduction in wages granted,
and repeat their demand for a 20
per cent cut. On the other hand the
conductors and trainmen threaten a
strike if the 12 per cent reduction is
put into effect.
Neither side of tLis railroad qurr
rel can prosper without treating the
public fairly. The people furnish the
goods on which the railroads collect
freight and which supply the em
ployes with work. All tho business of
the country and work and wages of
25,000,000 persons depend on an early
and just settlement of all railroad
questions.St. Paul Dispr.tch.
