Every time there is any big thing under investiga- tion in congress, our Harold can be depended on to introducé a resolution; which should properly come from the hands of the committee in charge of the sub- ject, to eternally squash somebody or something. By all means, if you want the Sixth district to be dubbed the “home of the pop-up congressman,” send Knutson back to congress.—Williams Northern Light. “Pop-up congressman,” eh? well, let's see: Congressman Knutson of the Sixth district of Minnesota, raised on a farm in Sherburne county, educated at the state agricultural college, hence is thoroughly at home as to the needs of the farmer, For four winters he accompanied the Minnesota state ex- hibit car through the central states for the state immigration department and did much to help advertise Northern Min- nesota. He is a member of the Irrigation committee of the house of congress and also a member of the committee on pen- sions, both most important committees. It was he who secured an amendment to the Indian ‘Appropriation bill last winter, appropriating $4,000 toward the Mission road from Cass Lake to the Mission school, in the face of oppesition of the entire Indian commission of the House. Congressman Knutson is now working to secure favorable terms from the Indian department that will permit of the ship- ping in of cattle from the draught stricken western ranges to . the Red Lake Indian reservation for feeding, thereby creating a good market for hay in Northern Minnesota. During his first term,Congressman Knutson secured the passage of five bridge bills in the House, one of which was for Bemidji. This, nowithstanding the agreement of the Demo- cratic causes to allow nothing but war legislation to come in the extra session called by President Wilson for April 2, 1918. 1t will be an interesting peice of news to opponents of Congressman Knutson to learn that he has been elected assistant “whip” of the House, and if reelected will probably be made “whip.” A mark of distinction to say the least. 5 It was Congressman Knutson who introduced resolution authorizing the president to take over packing, canning and refrigerating plants throughout the country for the duration of the war. It was-also Congressman Knutson who introduced a bill that attracted wide spread attention throughout the country, to prohibit unscrupulous and shyster lawyers from preying on the kin of deceased soldiers in collecting arrearages etc. It was Congressman Knutson who introduced resolutions directing the war department to regulate water levels in the Mississippi river reservoir system in the interest of agriculture. This and much more, including staunch support of Presi- dent Wilson during the war, as shown by the records, loyalty to his home state and to>his constituents and their interests will again return this “pop-up congressman’ to his office on next November by an overwhelming vote, and some other districts of Minnesota would do well to elect a man like that which re- presents the Sixth district. A Knutson will be Teclected. No question about it. ) ELEVENTH HOUR SUFFRAGE SPLASH. Whether it was %n eleventh hour political stunt, after a long, long wait and frequent avowals that he was in favor of woman suffrage, or whether it was an attempt at “life saving” owing to the insistent demands of the Republicans that suffrage be passed, President Wilson called upon the senate yesterday to pass the national sufirage amendment to give women an equal franchise with men. Already in several states, where women have the right to vote, plans were heing laid to inaugurate campaigns for the defeat of those democrats who have fought equal vote for women. The question has been made considerable of a political football in national halls, but it was smoked out and the presi- dent now comes into the open in the manner in which he should have long ago. Suffrage should come. It will come. It would have come in spite of the opposition of any powers that be. It ma_ttex:s not whether any political advantage is being sought at this time, for the new voters, when enfranchised, will use theu;; own convictions as to merit and not camouflaged senti- ment. : : ——0 TRIALS OF AN EDITOR. (Spooner Northern News.) Another case of being dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t, was our lot for writing a story a couple of weeks ago about Fhe Neumiller tamily having eight sons in the army. We acted in good faith, as we were told that the facts were as we stated them, by a brother in law of the family and politely dammed for not having mentioned the fact. Now we learn, that only two are in the service and that the others are too young to go, and we are being’ dammed for having sent all of them, even though they would like to go if old enough. The News has always made an especial effort to have the news as nearly correct as it could be ascertained, but, we can hl_n'dly be blamed for not having read all of Noah’s family Bible record, when we relied on the word of one who should know_. In any event the patriotism of the family cannot be questioned. NONPARTISAN CANDIDATES | ARE TO FILE THIS WEEK St. Paul, Oct. 1.—The Nonparti- san league candidates for governor, attorney general and railroad and warehouse commissioner—David Ev-| ans of Tracy, Tom Davis of Marshall and Fred E.

The first report came from the ter- ritory of Alaska. A message reached the treasury soon after Secretary Mc- ‘Adoo arrived at his desk saying that the Alaska Packers' association of San Francisco, with a subscription $1,370,000 had completed the entire loan = allotment for every town, village and fishing camp in the terri- tory. A telegram received from Ju- neau, however, said: ‘‘All commun- ities are ambitious to more than dou- ble their allotment.” “It ‘will be impossible to predict before that time whether the cam- paign may be sald to have started successfully,’” sald a treasury state- ment. “The most encouraging note of all in today’s reports is that all communities ‘realize that the coun- try had before it an enormous task ‘n raising of $6,000,000,000. The con- census of opinion appears to be that over-confidence is the greatest dan-: ger to be guarded against until the loan actually is subseribed:” Sy “PRETTY BABY” ROARS ALL NIGHT.

You'd give fifty dollars quickly if it was all that stood between you and spending just one night plugging through mud up to your knees, with the rain beating down on you, the temperature just about freezing, with no place to get warm, no chance to rest, or ease your body from the grief of a heavy pack, or to get your hands off of an ice cold rifle. Yes, you'd give most all the money you have to escape just one night of that. Yet your $50, $100, $1,000 subscrip- tion to the Fourth Liberty Loan will short- en by months the nights that two million and more of American boys will spend like to buy? The man with both legs shot off can say, “I've given all the legs I ean.” -~ Don’tyou dare say, “I've bought all the Liberty Bonds I can,” until you search your soul to devise means of buying another Lib- erty Bond.
