Hearst is op- posing the billion dollar war loan that James J. Hill and others wish to make for the Allies. The follow- ing statement of Mr. Hearst's ap- pears in the New Orleans Item: “I am going to New York to -op- pose the war loan to the battling na- tions of Europe, and oppose it as strongly as I know how. I do not believe that such a loan is for the interest of the country. It is plain- ly for the interest and special ad- vantage of some financiers who are not noted for considering the interest of this country or for considering anything but their own profit and benefit. “It is not for the interest of this country to become too closely identi- fied with either side of this Euro- pean conflict. It is not for the in- terest of this country to begin lend- ing money to what may be the losing side, and then have to lend more money in the hope of making our first loans good, and finally become overwhelmingly involved in what may become a great financial catas- trophe. For, remember, we have _ not only war in Europe to face, but eventually possible revolution repudiation. “It is not to the interest of this country to have money tight in this country. We have had hard times for a long period, and the explana- tion has been tight money, the bal- ance of trade against us, shipments of gold abroad and insufficient funds at home. “Now, money is becoming plentiful here. The times are getting better. Money is seeking investment here at home. There is money to back new enterprises, and new enterprises mean greater employment and better times for the working people -as well as easier times for the employer. “Why change all this? Why send the money abroad that we all admit we have needed here at home and that is just beginning to work its- beneficial results-here at home? “Why start a movement which probably will grow, for the' gorge of the modern Moloch of war is in- satiable, until America is drained of its much-needed gold? Why kill the goose that lays the golden egg? Or, if you prefer a more exact metaphor, why export the golden eggs just as they are beginning to hatch into the long-awaited goslings of a new prosperity? “Why sacrifice the interest of this country for the benefit of Wall street? “Is Wall street so popular through- out the country? Is Wall street so unsophistieated that we must look out for ITS INTEREST above our own interest? Is Wall street so un- selfish? Has it so often sacrificed its own interests in the past-that it.is our duty to sacrifice our indi- vidual interest for it now? “It is easy to-understand why cer- tain ‘big banking houses, led: by the able and ambitious young Mr. Mor- gan, should want to extend this loan to England. Mr. Morgan is practic- ally an Englishman. ‘He is the rep- resentative of England, financially, in the United States. He has invest- ed his money with the allies and ‘wants to see his investments guaran- teed. He is the head of the steel trust, and the steel trust profits with every gun and shell furnished fight- ing Europe. “But why should the:American peo- and ple be'‘led by Mr. Morgan? ~Why| should the American people’s money —for it is: their money that will be lent—be the ‘golden ring which will drag them about: by the nose in the wake: of ‘Mr. Morgan’s English in- vestments? “That is the material sideof this question, and there -is a moral side. as well, which must be considered, for the ‘American -people :are & moral people. They are ‘a righteous -and religious : people; - they: are -a - God- fearing, - peace-rlaving . peop! ppeople hope and pray-for peace for ourselves and for the stricken na- tions of Europe. We abhor war, and we have condemned this particular war as the worst and most wicked of all wars. ‘“We -have sorrowed for the sol- diers of our own Caucasian race lions—upon the field of battle. We have grieved for wretched wives made widows and for helpless thrown upon a world made brutal ‘and barren by war. We have be- moaned the accumulated wealth of ages ruthlessly destroyed, the treas- ures of art and architecture reck- lessly demolished, the very founda- tions of Occidental civilization and by the fury and frenzy of this fratri- cidal conflict. “We have gone into our churches or unto the sanctuaries of our homies and prayed to God to restore peace on earth and revive good will among men. “We have besought God to preserve our race, to protect our civilization, to conserve the wealth and treasurer of the world for the world, to end this needless, endless sorrow and slaughter, desolation and destruction. “And God has heard our prayer. He has created a situation which is a supreme test of our sincerity. He has made it come to pass that this war cannot continue unless we who have prayed for peace shall supply the arms and the money to protract the war. “What shall we do? “Shall we go back into our churches and unto the sanctuaries of our homes and say: “Lord, when we prayed for peace we had not consid- ered the financial side of the situa- tion. We had not figured up the profit we might make out of further bloodshed. “We had not estimated the in- come on the guns and shells to kill our brothers in Europe or the in- terest on the loans to continue the war. We had not thought of the dollars that could be gained in mak- ing orphans and widows, of the money that might be minted out of the tears of the weeping mothers. “Lord, God, we thought we wanted peace, but that was before we bal- anced up our books. We thought we wanted peace, but we found that; like Judas Iscariot, we needed the money. “Citizens of the United States, must we say this? Must we retract all our prayers, renounce all our principles? “Let us hope not, for if we do speak thus and act thus it would probably be better for us if we had never been born. “We have coined money out of evil before and paid the bitter pen- alty. Many an American dollar was made by bringing hapless negroes into this country and trafficking in them as slaves. “The Yankee traders brought them and made money for them- selves; the Southern planters bouglit them and made money for them- selves. Each laid up abundance of treasure on earth and and abundance of retribution in heaven. “The sins of the father shall be visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth generation. And in due time the red life blood of atonement was_shed for every black and tarnished dollar as evilly gained: “Shall we again accumulate an evil hoard and invite a cruel retri- bution? ‘“Shall we not rather take advan- tage of the power and opportunity which God has placed in our hands and end this hideous war, which is 2 menace to the progress and pros- perity of all the world and to that continued domination of the white race which should be a blessing and a benefit to all the wordl? “Is there not both moral satisfac- tion and material advantage in the righteous course? “Shall we not make- peace while power is in our hands, and rely for our reward upon Him, who said: ““‘Blessed are the peacemakers, of God.’” —William Randolph Hearst.

Preus, state auditor, has written a letter to Mayor Victor L.|9- Power of Hibbing in which.he_scores the village’s action and upholds the mining companies. He declares that the companies are within their rights in refusing to pay taxes. Mr. Preus takes information from information gathered from Minnesota |villages ‘and cities and proves that the expenditures of Hibbing have in bu (been manyfold those of any other set- itlement of the size in the state. This statement-shows: That the city of Minneapolis, \with a population of 301,408, had a tax levy of $3,772,450.65, or $12.52 \per capita. That the city of St. Paul, with a population of 214,744, levied taxes in the sum of $2,404,464.81, -or $11.20 per capita. That Duluth, with a population of 78,466, levied taxes in an amount of 1$863,851.42, or $11.01 per capita. That Virginia, with a population of 10,473, levied taxes in ‘the sum of $386,907.40, or $36.94 per capita. That Mankato, with a population of 10,365, levied 082,414.57, or $7.95 per capita. That Crookston, with a population of 7,559, levied taxes in the sum of 1$64,194.32, or $8.49 per capita. That Bemidji, with a population of 5,099, levied taxes in the sum of $31,876.87, or $6.25 per capita. That Faribault, with its popula- tion of 5,001, sum of $29,215.28, or capita. That Willmar, with a population | p; of 4,135, levied taxes in the sum of | g $22,575.90, or $5.46 per capita. That Fergus Falls, with a popu- lation of 6,887, levied taxes in the sum of $21,575.49;, or $3.07 per capita. That Albert Lea, with a population of 6,192, levied taxes in the sum of $36,594.82, or a per capita tax of $5.91. That, as contrasted with these fig- ures, Hibbing with its accredited population of 8,823, levied a tax of $753,800.46, or $85.35 per capita. - In addition there to the village of Hibbing issued village orders in ap- proximately a like amount, which means that Hibbing expended not only $750,000, raised by taxes, but expended approximately $1,500,000, to 00 of Ar, of Gr in 00 wi $3.25 per in mi on a A Bemhi;i merchant has written a letter to a number of his customers wheat market -in this country ‘which he states: States: levied taxes in the| 1f the farmers, generally, hold their wheat in- the belief of a strong advance later on, it will be-a back for a rise, or rush it to market prices. el the producer as his convenience per- the season, have received the average market price for the season. county building at Virginia, called doing he started something that he has not been able to finish. clopedias furnish that the Mesaba range contains bo- {4 & & 4 & % kK % X % ¥ K ¥k ¥ X % A sl O L e N o N o ot WA ke e et e i Kty good clothing ami gemnlly “npm, dies -of: ore, but” rlo not define the ‘oing up” during the week, Oct. 2:tof-word: regard to the. condition.of the in Europe needs about 560,000,000 shels: of wheat between now and the next erop.

It was hard for me to turn over or change my position. Be- lieving that the trouble was caused by some disorder of my kidneys, I was led to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured at Barker’s Drug Store, as one of my people had been cured of kidney complaint by them. They soon removed the pain in my back. They also strengthened my kidneys and I have felt well ever since.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t o’clock.
