THE PRINCETON UNION By MRS. R. C. DUNN Subscription Pric* 12.00 Q. I. STAPLES, BasineH Mn*fr Office: Ffrat Street, East of Court House THOS. H, PROWSB Editor GRACE A. DUNN Associate Editor Foreipn Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION John Coleman, who has been super intendent of the Anoka state hospital for the insane. since 1900, has been appointed a member of the state board of controf to succeed Dr. P. A. Hil bert. Governor Preus could not have selected a better man to fill Dr. Hil bert's place. John Coleman, in his management of the large hospital at Anoka, has demonstrated that he has exceptional executive ability. During the twenty-one years he has been su perintendent of that institution, he has acquired a vast fund of informa tion which will be an invaluable as set in" his new position. Moreover, his friends know that he is not to be measured by his official qualifications alone. It is his characteristics as a man that undoubtedly have made him so successful in his work at Anoka. A man to whom is to be entrusted the care of our unfortunate and hope lessly afflicted, should be more than efficient he should be humanly kind. Those who have visited the hospital at Anoka and have seen the superin tendent administering the duties of his office and moving about among the inmates of that institution, know that he'always treated them with the kind ness and consideration of a father or brother. He was his brother's keeper and he was ever faithful to the trust. It is most fortunate that John Cole man is to be placed in a position of greater responsibility because the state can then receive *nore benefit from his services. The Joxirnal-Press protests against the teaching of socialism in our uni versities and colleges. Of course no man cares to have his sons and daugh ters receive such instruction, particu larly, as the Journal-Press remarks, when it savors oi disloyalty. How ever, our sympathies are somewhat with the instructors and professors. Until the American people can be per suaded that the men and women who teach their sons and daughters are performing services that are worthy of a decent living wage, they can ex pect to have the seeds of socialism sown in our educational institutions. When a man has spent years of ex acting study and invested several thousands of dollars in his education and then does not receive sufficient salary to maintain his family on the same economic level with that of the average day laborer, it is-small win der that he develops socialistic ten dencies. The dean of the Pennsylvania uni versity, Prof. A. R. Warnock, says that jazz is hurting the standards of taste and the finer sensibilities of many college students. "Something of reserve has gone out of the per sonality of our young women and something of nobility has gone out of the attitude of our young men toward young women," he declares, "and jazz is responsible." There is no dou'bt that some young people are suffering from the effects of too much jazz, but whether it has virtually demoralized them, as contended by Professor War nock, is a question. However "jazz- ing." so-called, is a' ridiculous fad that was not conceived by great minds, and it is pleasing to know that it is fast dying out. McAdoo's suggestion of a navyless world, broached by him before a large assemblage in Kansas, was doubtless intended by him to be a helpful propo sition, but in actuality it was harmful and, so far as the influence of Mr. McAdoo extends, will make more dif ficult The task of the armament confer ence at Washington, which is not to discuss the possibility of a navyless world, but the possibility of a reason able limitation of naval armament. That the leading sea powersGreat Britain, America and Japanwill sink their navies is absurd, and it never yet was considered good statesman ship to raise extravagant expecta tions that can only result in disap pointment. One of the indisputable indications that times are improving is the fact that the great mills of the American Woolen company at Lawrence, Mass., which employ about 20,000 operatives, are now running at full capacity and that the cotton milb in th-o same city, employing a like number of per sons, have started up. While there are many men still out of employment throughout the country, there is no reason whatsoever for the calamity howling which has spread over the land. Let's be optimistic. Condi tions are returning to normal with remarkable rapidity. Scientist McAfee is having a tele scope contructed which he says will be sufficiently powerful to reveal the people of Mars if that planet is in habited. Maybe the time will come when a telescope is produced by means of which we can see the heavenly hosts playing on their golden harps. Who knows It is reported that Miami, Fla., re cently elected a city government com posed entirely of bankers. As Miami is a noted winter resort where the gambling gentry hang out in large number, it may be that the city gov ernment is made up of faro bankers. That scheme of Congressman Kis sel's is a good one. He seeks in a bill introduced in the house to pay all members on an attendance basis,and has demonstrated his system by means of a registering tifne clock which ev ery representative would be required to punch upon arrival and departure. It is, of course, a foregone conclusion that the bill will be voted down, for there are so many absentees and lag gards in the house that, were they to work on a time basis, their pay en velope would contain a mere pittance. But the measure is a good one just the same. Following the ousting of barmaids from the soft drink places in the Gateway district, Minneapolis, the 25 proprietors, with the exception of one or two, closed up shoj), and the sport ing gentlemen, bums and others who frequented these places to exchange quips with the painted sirenic dis pensers of near beer and other fluids have had to look for pastures new. In cleaning up the Gateway district, which for years has been the rendez vous of questionable characters, May or Leach has performed a good work. The expose of the Ku Klux Klan by reportorial experts of the New York World is a remarkable piece' of detec tive work, and the public should thank the men who brought to light the ma chinations and conspiracies of this ne farious organization before it had reached the^ stage where it became a peril to the* country at large, ^teps are now being taken by Attorney Gen eral Daugherty to crush the organiza tion, and the sooner this is effected the better. The paper Germania, published in Berlin, accuses our boys on the Rhine of various kinds of lawlessness and charges them with luxurious extrava gance. How the doughboy drawing $30 a month -can afford to live in luxury is something that needs furth er explanation, especially in a country where he is charged double price for almost everything he buys. 'Tis to laugh. Attorney General Daugherty is about to start a training School for government detectives in New York city. From the number of criminals who get away it would seem that this movement is highly necessary. And, by the way, it would be a gootf idea for the mayors of some of our cities to introduce similar institutions. Now that the football clans are gathering for the fray, liniment man ufacturers are advancing the prices of their wares. It would now be in or der for surgeons to "double their fees for sawing off legs and arms, setting lones aviring together the parts of cracked- kneecaps and inserting silver plates in fractured skulls. Frank Day suggests that the demo crats put forward Mrs. Peter Oleson of Cloquet as a candidate for the Unit ed States senate next year, claiming^ that the idea originated with A. .W. Watson of Nashville. Occasionally Frank fabricates a story that is in actuality, a joke. That women are making remnrka'ble strides in the professions in the king dom of King George is shown by the fact that all the house physicians and surgeons in the Dundee Royal in firmary, Scotland, r.ro females. the name that stands for the best in heaters W sell Stewart Stoves and Ranges because we have found that they give A-l satisfaction.

In Zion ,City, the rendezvous of fanatical reformers, there'are no doc tors, no hospitals, no drug stores, no theaters, no poolrooms, no dances, and no smoking in the streets is permitted. From this any sane person would nat urally draw the conclusion that Zion City is a veritable colony of nuts. It might, at least, make some provision for the sick, but perhaps Prophet 'Voliva pretends to possess the power of casting out the devils responsible for disease. John McNamara, discharged dyna miter, says: "Prisons are inefficient as means of reform." He very likely entertains the belief that reform can be brought about only 'by the use of dynajnite. While it must be admitted that President Harding has made a strong beginning he frequently appears in a week" end. How would you like to be the im perial wizard or even an imperial kleagle in the Ku Klux Klan? Unemployment Decreasing. According to the employment ser vice, department of labor, unemploy ment is decreasing and both capital and labor are taking a more optimistic view of the future than they have for many months. The report shows that out of 62 cities making a report, 38 show a decrease in number of idle workmen. These 32 are widely scat tered,, including such cities as New York, Grand Rapids, Peoria, Seattle, Denver, Cleveland, Chicago, New Ha ven, Portland,.-Minneapolis, Buffalo, Chattanooga^ Birmingham, St. Paul and St. Louis. Speaking of the fu ture the report says: ''A happy augury is the very general increase in building operations, a sur vey showing that present activities in this line are greater than at any time since the nation entered the war. "Other encouraging features in the situation, as emphasized by the sur vey, are the general bountiful har vests, indications of improvement in iron and steel, marked re-employment in railroad occupations, approaching depletion of manufactured stocks and the continuing strength of textiles, particularly cotton. "A marked increase in industrial optimism is noted, business men gen erally inclining to the belief that the" serious part of the depression is over and that the future will witness im provement of a helpful and lasting character, even though it be -some what slow in developing." Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish. The latest grapevine dispatch oh the Stillman divorce case is that Stillman, who has already expended some $SOO,000 in trying to divorce his wife, and prove that her youngest son is not his child, will drop the case in New York and will start new pro ceedings in Paris, where divorce cases may be tried in secrecy. Stillman ob jects to publicity. It knocked him out of the presidency of the biggest bank in New York and made him a contemp tible figure. As he is reported to have disposed of a lot of his American holdings, he may take to France for a permanent residence, which will be no loss .to America.St. Cloud Journal Press. The board of county commissioners will meet in regular ihonthly session next Tuesday. Miss West indorsed. The members of Princeton Review, who are the local representatives of the Woman's Benefit association of the Maccabees, announce the news that their founder and leader, Miss Bina M. West, has been prominently and persistently presented to President Harding as the one woman in the United States fitted by special/team ing and experience for a., seat/on the advisory conference^ committee for limiting\armament. Miss West was approached on the subject by her friends in the national fraternal con gress of America which convened at Hotel Sherman, Chicago, the first week in September. The delegates to this congress represent over nine million fraternalists and they-stand back of the appointment. liliss West is per haps the best known woman in the United States. Her thirty years of leadership in a society numbering a quarter of a million women has drawn on her superlative talents and devel oped her mentally to a degree unusual in women. She has never been asso ciated with any faction, nor is she a theorist, two attributes that will count with the president in making the ap pointment.
