And then healing balm that flour is to.be cheaper by several dollars per barrel is spread, and that the governnient ig gradually get~ ting the upper hand, etc. etc. “ Well now that’s real encouraging. We are most pleased to learn that the government is “getting the upper hand” of the profiteers, which, it was declared in the report, have been gouging the wage earners of the country while the latter have been digging into their jeans to help the country whip Hades out of the kaiser. % We never had the termerity before to even believe that the profiteers had the upper hand of the government authorities, and we are truly gratified to learn that the government is now getting the “upper hand.” It would seem almost to mean that stripping of the hard pressed consumers would some time cease, along this line at least. We hope that some day some Moses will arise and lead the powers that bé to cast their eyes toward ished. We sincerely hope so. WHEN SENSiBLE MEN GET TOGETHER One of the simplest and most sensible adjustments of any possibility of rupture in industrial Minnesota has been agreed to by the Minnesota Public Safety commission and the State Federation of Labor, to eliminate strikes and lockouts by ra-: tional discussion and adjustment of wage and other differences. The agreement is to continue in effect for the duration of the wa; T All pending difficulties is to be the first work attended to, and no union organized since the commencement of the war is eligible for consideration under the pact. The agreement is binding ‘on both employes and employers and good faith is paramount. = All differences will be brought before the state board of arbitration. There are a lot of fool employers and-there are a lot of fool members of unions. And for them the counsel and action on the part of those of sane intelligence and discernment will act as the balance wheel and decisions must be abided by. Surely nothing awful or mysterious about that, and it will work for the mutual benefit and advantage of all concerned, likewise the general public. ; WHY HENEY SUBSIDED. Some people have been wondering why Heney retired from the government service in connection with the prosecution of the Chicago packing house cases. Perhaps his action was somewhat influenced by the following words in a decision by the Federal Court: “One’s person and property must be en- titled in an orderly democracy, to protection against both mob hysteria and the oppression of agents whom the -people have chosen to represent them in the administration of laws which afpk n'a’quired by the constitution to operate. upon all persons alike. OKLAHOMA WOMEN HAVE THE RIGHT IDEA. A dispatch sent out from Stillwater, Okla., tells of the women of the city tarring and feathering two of the “prin- cesses” of an objectional show that had struck the town. The Peroxide Sisters of the barnstorming outfit had made them- selves obnoxious to the finer sensibilities of the fair residents of the town, and with drawn revolvers they held back the police while they administered their tar and feather treatment, took them to the depot, bought tickets for them and sent them out of town on the first train. Let’s see, wasn’t that the city going over the top in the Liberty Loan is to receive a flag emblematic of the honor? We believe so, and Bemidji is ready to receive hers. - Well, Bemiddji went over the top in her Liberty Loan ' quota, lynched the beast of Berlin and sent Uncle Sam to Wash- ington. Not so bad for three days work, either. Among the things that can be sold by the Red Cross sal- vaigaldrive is ivory. Here’s an excellent opportunity to unload a little. = Now let’s all get to work on that garden. It will be excel- lent exercise, good for the health and fine for the pocketbook.
