Girling, executive secretary of the brewers’ and dis- tillers’ association of Minnesota, which has promised the Minnesota Pub- 1ic Safety commission co-operation in protecting Minnesota from lawless-|| ness for at least the war period. Secretary Girling is an individual of unusual merits. He doesn’t utter & big loud snort like & “nineteen collar and six hat,” but appears 5 to be & man of intelligenee and well being, and he agrees with the Ploneer that it's pretty “rotten” around here. He admitted that Kelliher was the “wettest spot he ever saw,” and said so out loud. He also asserted he discovered a lot of clubs in the vicinity of Bemidjl which were “incor- porated” but allowed to rum loosely.

GIRLING IS A “RIGHT GUY” r heart, Thomas H. Girling, representative of the liquor interests of Minnesota came to Beltrami county, to Bemidji and vicinity and found conditions just as the Pioneer has been stating—full of booze and rotten. He found the *‘clubs” the decent farmers and every- body else decent has been protesting against until decency arose and cleaned 'em up. Carload after carload of booze was shipped in from Du- luth and elsewhere and not a peep made. Booze dealers knew they were violating the law or ought to have known it, shippers did the same, any- thing for a dollar and to hell with the law. Girling made a trip around to see for himself whether there was any justice in the complaints. And Girling is a man square enough to make a report, the substance of which was “rotten”—just as everybody admit- ted except a handful of those who were obliged to resort to nefarious business to clothe themselves and tried to make good om.

CAFE I E R E R EEEREREEER] AhhkhkhhRi kA hhhdd A fruitful field for government censorship would be in the matter of the hypocritical peace talk that periodically emanates from German sub- gidized correspondents and is spread broadcast throughout this country. It s a smooth game Germany is playing. By creating a widespread im- pression that she stands ready to consummate peace at any time, she hopes to place this government in the attitude of obstructing peace. That the insidious cirus is working is seen on all hands. It can not be too strongly impressed upon our people that peace is the last thing Germany desires—that is, an equitable peace. Had she really desired such a peace she would have made some concrete proposals before this. Instead of so desiring, she hopes to spread dissension among her enemies that shall work to her advantage. Congress could make no more commendable move than to establish a strict censorship of fake German peace proposals. KRR XXX R RRRERE —Phone 62— Sugust L.
