PAGE FOUR r^. THE PRINCETON UNION By MRS. B. C. DUNN Subscription Price $2.06 cai First Street, East of Court HMM C. I. STAPLES Business Manager THOS. H. PROWSB Editor Foreign Advertising Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION We should say that if Will Hays can run a national campaign on the insignificant sum of $3,000,000 he would be exactly the man for secretary of the treasury. The country is badly an need of such a genius of economy. Women voters are not making any hullabaloo over their preparations for election,they are not going around shouting about the candidates for whom they intend to cast their bal lots,but they are working just the same. St. Paul Dispatch: Cox's campaign fund charges seem to have proved only that so general i & the desire to "change hands" at Washington and get rid of Wilsomsm that e\erybody is willing to contribute to the republican expense account. Theie is a bie: difference in the methods pursued by Candidates Hard ing and Cox in conducting their cam paigns. While Mr. Harding is plac ing the issues before the people in an unostentatious manner Mr. Cox is gallivanting about the country beat ing a big bass drum Word comes from Washington that a cabinet member has drafted a bill making it a criminal offense for a can didate to fail to fulfill his campaign pledges after he is elected. Could such measure be made retroactive the re sult would mean the overflowing of the jails with democrats now in high places Whib former cabinets under re publican administrations weTe regard ed as the proper nrovince of states men, under the Wilson regime the men holding cabinet portfolios are regard ed as of no more importance than clerks, ?nd, as Chah-man Hays truth fully points out, their official existence is scarcely discernible. It's the way of the world: Some na tions would like to hold back the Poles by their coat tails while others would hold back the bolshevists by their whiskers. Then there are others who would like to see the mer ry war continue until the bolshevists are exterminated. We take pride in stating that we have registered with the latter class. Peculiar events occur in this old woild of ours. The other day, in the District of Columbia, a Harding "dem ocratic" club was organized with F. Edward Mitchell president. This club is composed exclusively of demo crats who have forsaken their party temporarily consequence of the stand taken by Governor Cox for the league of nations and who will put forth every effort to elect Senator Harding to the presidency. Among the humbugs who plied their avocations at the state fair were half a dozen or more so-called palm istsgypsy women who reaped a gol den harvest There is a law in this state which forbids fortune telling, but the fair authorities took no heed of It has been estimated, after a care ful examination of the fuel situation at the head of the lakes, that unless 1,300,000 tons of bituminous coal a month for the next three months are received at Duluth and Superior docks the result will be a serious coal short age in the northwest next winter. Even with the quantity stated coming in there will be barely sufficient to meet requirements. While it is possi ble that this shortage may be covered it is not probable, but if the wise Wil son administration had restricted ex portation instead of permitting mil lions of tons of coal to go to Europe the country would not now be in this dilemma. In his New Freedom Professor Wil son says: "A singular thing about the people of the United States is their almost infinite patience and their wil- against and which they do not want done." The returns at the November election will, however, demonstrate that the administration politicians have presumed altogether too mucn in regard to the people's patience. "You have no right to expect the protection of this country if you re fused to fight for it," said District Judge Molyneaux in Minneapolis to 16 aliens as he refused to grant them citizenship papers. These fellows were foreigners who, during the war, took advantage of the fact that they were subjects of other nations to evade performing military duty. The judge is to be commended for the action he took. He went as far as he could under the law and would doubtless have ordered their deportation were he invested in the power to so do. The United States is no place for such un desirables. New Ulm's school board has, by resolution, decided that the teaching of German in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades shall be elective and not compulsory. The board could not have made it compulsory, as such order would have conflicted with the laws of the state. However the kaiseritis germ has so strongly entrenched itself in the cerebrum of the major part of New Ulm's inhabitants that they may give instructions to have their chil dren taught German first and let them pick up English as best they can. It is not really necessary for a person living in New Ulm to speak the Eng lish language. The next legislature should restore capital punishment for murder in its place on the statute books. Penitentiary sentences, even if for life, have no ter rors for the bandit who goes forth to rob with the determination to kill if it is necessary to effect his purpose. He is fully aware of the fact that a large percentage of murderers are par doned after they have served part of their time and that others escape from prison, so he goes the limit in his dia bolical business. Were the hangman's noose or the electric chair staring him in the face he would think twice before committing murder, for even the most hardened of criminals have a great dread of capital punishment. Not the scintilla of a doubt exists in our mind that the repeal of the capital punishment law in this state is re sponsible for many murders. When a man deliberately murders another he should pay the penality with death. LENROOT NOMINATED. Wisconsin is to be congratulated on her choice of the republican nominee for the United State senate, Irvine L. itfakers of various sorts were per- Lenroot. Senator Lenroot is a pro mitted to operate and separate the unsophisticated from their money. While the state fairs are not as bad in this respect as they were in past years there is much room for improve ment. So far as prohibition is concerned the United States is something like 1,400 years behind Turkey, and we must give the beastly, barbarous Turk credit for being a prohibitionist in actuality. His national drink is sherbet and he takes ft without a "stick." The late Mr. Mohammed in corporated prohibition in the Moslem religion and declared that whosoever indulged in intoxicating liquors would eventually sizzle in the brimstone caul drons. So a combination of reverence for Mohaftimed and fear of being fried in sulphur impels the Turk to refrain from drinking so-called serpentaTia. gressive but not a radical. He is sup posed to be the author of several of the Lodge reservations and is recognized throughout the country as one of the ablest men in the senate. La Follette was not permitted to chose his colleague in the senate but he did succeed in shoving in his guber natorial candidate, John J. Blaine. The number of radicals nominated for state offices shows that La Follette still holds a firm grip on the Wisconsin voters.

Mortenson THE SOLEMN REFERENDUM. As the Washington Post remarks, "The great, solemn referendum on the league of nations is already under lingness to stand quietly by and see way." The gloom must be increasing things done which they have voted in the democratic camp. First, in the election on September 13 Maine gave the republicans a sweeping victory. Maine, of course, always has been listed in the republi can columns, and then both Franklin D. Roosevelt and Secretary Daniels have been campaigning in the state. In New Hampshire Senator George H.

Senator Brandegee, another bitter opponent of the league covenant, had no opposition in Connecticut. Thomas E. Watson was nominated on the democratic ticket in Georgia on a platform which denounced the league in any form, with or without reserva tions. The primaries in Idaho and California tell the same story. Verily, it looks like a republican landside with the league of nations the main issue of the day. The refer endum is on and the people of the north, south, east and west are speak ing in unmistakable terms. CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING. It has been stated that the farmers of Minnesota today, through their co operative markets, handle nearly half the state's total of farm products. The farmers deserve great credit for the progress they have made in the last ten years in this co-operative marketing. When these enterprises are successfully handled they benefit not only the farmer but also the con sumer, and only then will they become permanent institutions. The farmers, in organizing their projects, must have the vision to see that in order to really succeed they must build not only for themselves, but for the great mass of consumers. With our democratic form of govern ment it is an indisputable fact that special class legislation cannot and will not persist. The farm bureau is fast-becoming a powerful organization. There aTe now 24,000 Minnesota farmers enrolled in this federation. The aims of the farm bureau federation as stated by the Minnesota secretary, F. L. French, are: To re-establish agriculture in the public mind as the foremost indus try, on which all others depend. To foster all lines of endeavor which make for better homes, better social and religious life, better health, and better-rural living. To establish without question the legality of collective bargaining. To conduct referendums on na tional questions to enable the farmer to express his views on the nation's policies at home and abroad. To safeguard the rights and in terests of the farmer and to assert his needs whenever occasion may arise. To extend the co-operative market ing of crops to the point where maxi mum benefits are secured for the pro ducer and for the consumer. A report filed with the United States senate committee on war expenditures shows that the organization which functioned as the "committee on public itiHliiminiitmittmiiHiiiiitiimmiti ti imitmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitimiiwimiiiiiitiwHtiiiMMimMHtuumiiHmiMuiniQtiii A Good Position in MinneapolisDo YouWant One?

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1920 information" under the direction of George Creel is responsible for the de pletion of the national treasury to the extent of several million dollars. The principle items of expenditure shown by the report include $1,448,000 for propaganda work in foreign coun tries, $1,250,000 for salaries, $1,435,000 for printing, and $583,000 for tele graph and cable service. "Propagan da work" of course means advertising the virtues of Mr. Wilson in foreign lands, while cable and telegraph ser vice was for camouflaged stories sent to administration organs in this coun try from Paris by George Creel. The other expenses, are upon their face, plain. All this money was wasted, as correspondents of the great dailies covered the war situation, and their stories were reliable when not cen sored. What!
