The little daughter of Mrs. Charles
Arvidson of the West side sustained a
badly crushed leg Friday as the result
ef stumbling and falling in front of a
heavy wagon, one wheel passing over
her leg.
Three miles in a minute was negoti
ated Friday of last week by Sabie La
coimte, who made the trip in France in
a new type Monocoque, flying at a
height of 2,000 feet. His name is
most appropriate, as he apparently does
sabie'' the air boat.

New building figures throughout the
country for seven months shows ex
penditures of $335,000,000 and for the
same period of 1918, $160,000,000.
Building operations have within the
past nine months increased 837 per
•cent, a surprising increase, when the
increased cost is considered.

Tke statement that President and
Mrs. Wilson has received presents
-while in Europe worth millions, was
badly shattered by the giving out of a
list of the presents received. While,
no doubt, tliey are to be greatly priz
od, they are stated to h^ve apparently
not any great material value.
The War Savings organization of the
jSIinth Federal Reserve district, in fin
effort to stimulate the buying of treas
ury savings certificates in denomina
tions of $100 and $1,000, are sending
out some cleverly gotten up literature
showing the lifted of saving. Statistics
gathered by the American Bankers as
sociation shows that of 100 men at the
age of 25 years, all self supporting
and with good prospects, 40 years lat
er, 54 are in the poorhouse or totally
dependent on other's charity, 36 have
died, 6 are still working for a living,
3 are well to do and 1 is rich. Statis
tics further show that of every 100 wid
ows 35 are dependent on charity, 47
are working for a living and 18 are in
comfortable circumstances. The zenith
of wealth and earning capacity is plac
ed at 55 years/ A study of the figures
is illuminating and convincing, and
shows the great need and good of sav
ing, if but in small amounts and these
certificates, which compounded at 4 per
cent really makes some over 4% per
cent certificates, at maturity, is pointed
to as a gilt edged and safe investment.
The American Union Against Mili
tarism has given out a letter written by
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania,
to Mrs. Clarence E. Allen of Salt
Lake City, Utah, the mother of a boy
who was killed in France, declaring
himself as opposed to all bills before
congress providing for compulsory mili
tary training. Coming from Senator
Penrose, although he has been in some
instances lately breaking away from
the old order of things, his stand is re*
freshing. In the letter he says:
"I have yours of the fourteenth in
stant, protesting as a mother against
•ertain legislation pending in Congress
providing for compulsory military
training.
I am opposed to the legislation now
under consideration, and do not believe
it is necessary to resort to compulsory
military training in order to maintain a
suitable and adequate defense for the
country. I am of the opinion that a
small standing army, and a volunteer
force when needed, will meet all the re
quirements of the situation."
State Capitol Notes
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 4, 1919.—Gus
Liindquist returned from Washington
Tuesday wearing a triumphant smile
and with Will Hays' political O. K.
packed away in his knapsack. He an
nounced that he will immediately start
activities of the Republican State Cen
tral Committee with the idea of a 12
months' campaign to put over the G. O.
P. in Minnesota. There be those
among us who believe that 12 months
is all too short a time, considering the
existing condition of the dear old par
ty. Think how embarrassing it will be
to the Nonpartisan League next sum
mer, after it has taken over the Gus
Lindquist aggregation, to reconstruct
the campaign plans and undo all that
has been accomplished in the mean
time. Looks like a duplication of time
and money to me.
It is understood that the slogan in
the coming republican primary^ cam
paign will be "Save Us From Our
selves." In the last campaign they suc
cessfully worked the slogan, "Keep the
Party Loyal." and they have faith that
the new slogan will be as effective.
Democrats fell for the "Keep the Par
ty Loyal" cry and flocked to the re
publican primaries by thousands, thus,
for the time being at least, keeping the
radical end of the republican party
from gaining the ascendency. From
nay talk with democrats now, however,
I am convinced that the new war-cry
will not get across, as many thousands
of those democrats who helped Mr.
Burnquist out of his trouble last year,
still resent the speech he made in Chi
cago soon thereafter, in which he
claimed that the only way to save the
country was to oust the "socialistic
democrats" in control.
Mrs. C. A. Severance, woman repres
entative of Minnesota upon the repub
lican National Committee, in an inter
view with the Minneapolis Tribune
correspondent on Saturday last, among
other things said that the "spoils sys
tem" in politics cropped -out in any
party in power, but that she- believed
"it was fast vanishing: with .civil ser
vice reform, which was introduced by
the republicans." Possibly M*s. Sever
ance was speaking extemporaneously,
and did not have the necessary data at
hand, and -thus was unaware of the
fact that Grover Cleveland, democratic
president, was the real pioneer in civil
service reform in the United States.
But a little mistake of that kind is
pardonable in a new voter who an
nounces that she is a republican be
cause she always has been one ana
incidentally mentions that her father
and husband-also belong to tlgat par»v
The Executive Committee of the
Democratic National Committee met- at
Atlantic City this week and. among
other things,, unanimously adopted a
resolution requesting' early ratification
itl all states of the woman suffrage
amendment. This, reminds me fhat at
the meeting or the Democratic Nation
al Committee in Chicago last May a
resolution wab passed requesting early
action by Congress to this end. Strange
as it may seem, similar action on the
part of the Republican National Com
mittee has not been taken up to this
time. In speaking of this subject it
might be well to. mention also .that New
Jersey republicans, in convention this
week, recommended that the question
of ratification in that state be submit
ted to a referendum of the people,
while the democratic convention
adopted a plank for the immediate rat
ification or the amendment by the leg
islature. Can it be that our republican
friends are afraid that the women of
the country will be against them in the
next election?
When Senator Johnson was in St
Paul speaking in opposition to the. cov
enant of the League of Nations, one of
the few bright' and shining lights who
consented to sit upon the. platform to
lend moral support to the tirade
against the league and the president
was Mr. Carl W.' Cummins, secretary,
Ramsey County Republican Committee,
who in June last was candidate on the
republican ticket for congressman, to
succeed the late Carl C. Van Dyke. It
is interesting to recall that as suich
candidate Mr. Cummins came out
squarely for the league covenant and
stated, "The American people demand
and have a right to expect an early
ratification of the peace treaty so that
the country may as soon as possible re
turn to a pre-war basis. I am unquali
fiedly committed to an early termina
tion of the controversy by a prompt
ratification of the peace treaty." In
view of this statement, it is surprising
that Mr. Cummins would give moral
support to a man who is unqualifiedly
against the ratification of the treaty
and the league covenant. By the way,
no one but a republican could get away
with a thing like that.
FORMER LOCAL (MAN PROMINENT
SINGER.
Phileas Goulet, a former resident of
Little Falls and the son of F. X. Goulet
of this city, is gaining wide prominence
as a singer. Mr. Goulet has done most
of his singing in the west but he is
now in the east where his rich baritone
voice is winning him gr^at recognition.
Mr. Goulet recently sang at a Sunday
concert given at the Shubert theatre,
New York, by the Evening 'Telegram
Concert Club of that city. In its
writeup of the concert the Telegram
was loud in its praise of Mr. Goulet.
Of his singing it said in part:
"Mr. Phileas Goulet, who was ac-,
companied by Miss Madge Gould, was
suffering from a very severe cold. De
spite this handicap Mr. Goulet's rich
baritone voice carried in volume every
note in the very difficult selections
which he was called upon to render.
His Serenata by Tosti proved him an
artist. Dvorak's "Songs My Mother
Taught Me" was perfectly sung but
his rendition of Irivictus, by Hahn Les
Deux Grenadiers, by Schumann, and his
singing of the prologue from Leoncaval
lo's Pagliacci'' proved that Mr. Gou
let ranks with"'many of America's op
eratic stars.
"Mr. Goulet is better known in the
west, where he has appeared in the
Standard Opera company as well as in
recitals. He has sung in "Carmen,'^
"Faust," "Pagliacci," and "Aida'7
in Seattle. Thus far he has had some
forty recitals in the east.
WILL SHOW STAGE WOMEN'S
WAR "P-T-T.TTiT SERIES HERE*
The Woman's Guild of this city has
arranged for the exhibition at the Low
ell theatre here of the Stage Women's
War Relief Series of motion pictures.
There are 12 pictures in the series and
on picture will be shown every two
weelts. The first one, "Winning His
Wife," starring Cyril Maude and Vio
let Heming, will be shown next Tuesday
evening, Oct. 14, and in addition to this
a five-reel feature, Viola Dana in "The
Microbe," will be shown.
The war relief series was gotten up
by the leading actors and (actresses of
this county to raise money for the re
lief of crippled soldiers and sailors, and
are high class pictures. The organiza
tion has erected two large buildings
in New York where the service men
get relief. The Woman's Guild will
share the proceeds of these shows with
Mr. Smoots on a 50-50 basis and the
money thus raised by the guild will go
into its civilian relief fund.
ELKS TAKE IN CLASS.
The local Elks lodge took in a class
of eight at its meeting last evening.
They were Ed. Olson, Alfred Johnson,
Wm. Billstein, Jos. Moeglein, James
Massy, Arthur Paulson, George Blan
chett and Phil. Thompson. The mem
bers enjoyed a feed after the meeting.
The Ashcraft billiard parlors have
been reopened, the place having been
fixed up and redecorated.

Wednesday evening, the matter in re'
gard to the new sewers was discussed
with a number of those who will be af
fected by the new work.

150 men, declared by police authori
ties to have been members of the
"Red Guard" of Finland, were round
ed up, marched to the public square
of, Weirton, forced to kneel and kiss
the American flag and then were
driven out of town by police and
deputies.
Seven of the men, suspected of be
ing the leaders of the radicals, after
kissing the flag, .were taken to the
county jail at N6w Cumberland. Later,
all but one was released. He is be
ing held for investigation by the Fed
eral authorities.
Raid Follows Many Threats.
The raid, quietly planned but sen
sational in its results, was the out
come of many threats that have been
made against foreigners and others
employed in steel plants here.
A large quantity of "Red" literature
was found in the headquarters of the
radicals. One placard read in Finish:
"Red Christmas, 1918 Red New
Years, 1919."
Another read:
"The people's flag is red, my blood
runs red hoist up the red flag on a
pole and let us live or die under it."
BELGIAN KING PILOTS ENGINE
Runs Locomotive of Train Bearing
Him Across Continent.
Chicago, Oct. 8.—The special train
bearing the King of the Belgians, his
queen and the Duke of Brabant across
the continent had a new pilot for a
short time.
At Wauseon, Ohio, the "train was
stopped for the king to climb into the
engine cab and take the place at the
throttle of the grimy pilot .who stood
close by for an emergency, but his
majesty needed no assistance for he
has a thorough knowledge of engi

without a jolt for 10 miles and then
returned to his car to "wash iip" for
dinner.

Marshal Foch to draw up an ultima

Bolshevik army.

District Indicate Trouble
Following Riots and Troops
Are Called.
Chicago, .dot. A—Quiet reigned
in the Chicago steel strike area
after a day of raids on the homes
of agitator* In Gary where regulart
army troops are in control. Indi-'
ana state troops enforoed martial
law in East Chicago and Indiana
Harbor.
Chicago, Oct. 7.—Declaring of mar
tial law at Indiana Hartfor and at'
East Chicago, and the dispatching of
Federal troops to Gary, Ind., although
no violence had occurred since Satur
day, marked developments in the steel
strike situation in the Chicago district.
Acting under authority conferred
upon him by Governor Goodrich of
Indiana, Adjutant General Smith, in
command of 12 companies of Indiana
state troops on duty in the Indiana
strike zone, declared martial law in a
territory embracing the towns of In
diana Harbor and East Chicago and
extending for five miles in either di
rection from each of them.
The step .was taken, General Smith
said, "following indications of trouble"
and after consultation with the mayors
of the two towns. A detachment of
approximately 1,000 Federal troops
from Fort Sheridan, 111., under the
personal command of Major General
Leonard Wood, commander of the
Central department of the army, took
over control of the situation at Gary
fallowing an appeal for aid to General

over the Indiana strike district were
withdrawn from Gary and concentrat

PLOT TO WIPE OUT WHITES
Charged by Investigators Into Arkan
sas Riot Causes.
Helena, Ark., Oct. 7.—A statement
was made of- the riots by F. M. Allen
of the committee of seven, authorized
by local officers and Governor Brough
to investigate the trouble, charging
that the affair was an organized negro
uprising, fostered by a negro who
preyed on the ignorance and supersti
tion of a race of children for monetary
gains. He says:
"The present trouble with the ne
groes in Phillips county is not a race
riot. It is a deliberately planned ih
surrection of the negroes against the
whites directed by an organization
known as the 'progressive farmiers and
household union of America,' estab
lished for the purpose of banding ne
groes together for the killing of white
people."
FIUME CRISIS SEEN AT HAND

closed, it is stated, the probabilities
of success are such that confidence
may be entertained that Italy soon
will be freed from the Fiume situation.
