D. Rahn of Minneapolis, close personal friend of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, has filed as a candidate for delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention. Mr. Rahn has filed under the Cummins column. The filing of Mr. Rahn created quite a stir in political circles. Early in the winter it was considered likely that Mr. Rahn would take charge of the circulation of petitions to place the name of Colonel Roosevelt on the primary ballot. The former president requested that his name be not en- tered in the primary fight, however. Mr. Rahn was born at Valpariso, Ind., Oct. 9, 1875. He came to Min- neapolis in 1880 and has lived there ever since. He was educated in the public schools in Minneapolis. For 13 years he was connected with the Hardwood Manufacturing company of Minneapolis. He then went into the general contracting business for him- self. Mr. Rahn is interested in lumber- ing and farming, having a large farm north of Bemidji, where he has a herd of 60 head of cattle. He is inter- ested in banks at Baudette, Williams and Dayton. “Mr. Rahn is essentially a Minne- sota’ product and has taken a keen interest in all things pertaining to the: development of the state. He is a member of the general committee having -in charge the eampaign for Amendment No. 1, which provides for a revolving fund to be used for the - development of Northern Min- nesota. Mr. Rahn has taken an interest in politics for many years. He was a Roosevelt delegate to'the Republican national convention in 1912. -The friendship between Colonel Roosevelt and Mr. Rahn is such that a special significance is given to his filing at this time, especially as Mr. Rahn recently met the Colonel in the east and went over the situation in Minnesota with him. FARM- CLEARING HOUSE Yes, we readily concede that you are a loyal and patriotic citizen and that you believe in pushing this city along, and incidentally yourself with the city. Véry ‘good. Now read and think while we talk—or write. ‘Every ‘dollar’s worth of farm prod- uce that"is shipped direct from the farmer to some'city commission mer- chant shouldbe sold to a farm clear- ing:house in this city. True, 'we haven’t such a clearing house; butthat is our fault and not theofarmer’s. If“'we had ‘such a clearing house undericapable management, operated under’ the direction of the business men-of the city, farm products could be marketed 'without ‘going through sormany hands, thus realizing better returns for the farmer. This would cause the farmer to bring his produce here instead of shipping to outsiders, and in bring- ing his produce to us for sale he wotlld naturally do+his trading with us at the same time. If a commission ‘house in the city can distribute the farmer’s products and -earn great profits, and steal . more, -then a local clearing -house can do the same at greatly reduced | expense, -without stealing. ‘This- clearing house should not be,lr operated-as a matter of profit. Barely a sufficient amount to pay actual ex- penses.should be charged. It should be.a community enterprise and man- aged for the benefit of the whole com- munity and not for a few individ- uals. 5 It should- be maintained for the purpose of making this city the farm- er's market place-instead of some other--city, -and in .our -opinion it would be ‘the greatest financial step ‘We have given the suggestion— you work out the details KK AKKK KK KKK KKK KKK IF JAPAN ‘WHIPPED US, WHAT OF PEACE TERMS?

(From the Spokane Spokesman- Review.) In connection with the question of national preparedness, the timely admonition is made by the New Re- public that “the time has come for the country to make up its mind what policy it means to defend.” If we propose to continue the Mon- roe doctrine, greater preparedness will be needed, it thinks, than if we diteh it. If also we are to stand up for John Hay’s doctrine of the “open door” in China, still greater prepar- edness will be needed. If we make up our minds to throw both doc- trines to the discard, very moderate preparedness, it thinks, will be enough for our safety, for these are potential sources of friction with Germany on the one hand and with Japan on the opposite side. “In other words,” says the journal, “what we are preparing to defend 1s not our territory, but a national pol- icy in Latin America. Let the Unit- ed States abandon all pretensions in this hemisphere outside of its boun- daries; it will be as safe from Ger- many as Greenland is. - Policy Toward Japan. “The same searching of mind is needed in our relations to Japan. We are in conflict with Japan over two main issues—exclusion in California and the open door in the far east. Neither can be allowed to rest unde- fined. Are we or are we not aim- ing to challenge Japanese dominion in the orient? If we are not the Japanese problem loses most of its gravity. Japan will not fight us merely to secure admission for her coolie labor. But if we are concern- ed about the fate of China, if the new navy is designed to give weight to American diplomacy in the east, then the sooner our people realize it the better.” To this point the New Republic’s thesis is mainly sound. Its argument is defective when it passes to the con- tention that invasion of this country by the armed forces of any enemy would be followed by light and easily borne penalties. “Does any one sup- pose,” it questions, ‘“that Germany would care to conquer and adminster the continental territory of the Unit- ed States? It would be the most fruitless adventure a nation ever un- dertook, and the absurdity of it is evident when we realize that even if the Germans in this war could take London they would evacuate it again. If the Germans captured London or, change certain British or American policies to which they object.” Could Impose Heavy Penalties. But this takes no note of the price that would be demanded for evacua- tion—the indemnity that a conquer- ing and occupying army would exact from a country so rich in wealth and potential resources. Nothing is more certain than that Germany or Japan, once it had the bayonet at our national throat, would demand an in- demnity that would stagger this country in its payment. Conquering Japan could go further than Germany. It could cap a stu- pendous war indemnity with a de- mand, for example, for the cession of Alaska. Alaska is substantially wild and unpopulated. It is rich in gold, copper and coal, products es- sential to Japan’s realization of world empire and national prosperity. Its fisheries could feed the Japanese na- tion for all time. With Alaska ceded Japan could easily evict the few thousand Americans now in the ter- ;"Save’"Pennies- ] ‘Waste Dollars | ap— q save pennies by get- ting inferior work and lose | dollarsthrough lack of ad- | vertising value in the work ° they get.

With these prizes in view—a war indemnity that would instantly en- rich impoverished Japan, and a pros- pect of taxing over the wealth of Alaska for all time—it would be folly for' the 'American people to as- sume that Japan would be incapable of picking a quarrel with them over the dissue of Japanese exclusion, Jap- anese land tenure in the Pacific coast states and the admission of Japanese to our public schools . Prudent Nation Must Pay. To ‘“‘chuck” the Monroe doctrine and forget the open door in China, as the New Republic says, would tend to relieve future tension and greatly minimize the risk of war with Ger- many and Japan. But on what in- dication can we build expectation that either policy will be abandoned by the -American. people? Is it likely that the Wilson administration will risk the coming election on that pro- posal? Or that the republican party or the progressives under Roosevelt will go before the country on that issue? Even though these causes of poten- tial friction could be removed the United States undefended would not have dependable insurance against war. Wars spring from many sour- ces. We went to war with England a century ago—not over disputes about territory, but over our rights at sea—chiefly because England held to a harsh course of search of Amer- ican vessels and the impressing into her navy of .sailors of disputed or ‘“dual” nationality. Wars come from every point of the compass, and fre- quently from unexpected sources and over new and quickly developing con- troversies. Preparedness is a burden, but in- surance against death and fire is likewise a burden. For all that the prudent man buys insurance. The prudent nation must buy prepared- ness.
