Communications for the Wnu&'l;lrmuor must reach this office not later than Tuesday of each week to e publication in the current issue GROSS INSULT TO AMERICAN LEGION. X Franklin D’Olier, national commander of the American Legion, has made public a letter from Secretary of War Baker, in which the secretary declared that any further action in the Broms case would not be considered by him. In his statement :Baker says: . “The war department has this feeling about the conscien- tious objectors and other military prisoners—do not make any distinction between them because the war department does not —that the whole object of confinement in a military pr@son is .reformation and not punitive or vindictive, the idea being as :soon as it is safe to return a man to civil life as a gaod citizen, . with a better education and better morals than he had before, he should be released. We feel that men are better outside than inside.” ; Small wonder that anarchy is rampant throughout the nation. No wonder that the men who fought victoriously for ‘the preservation of their home country are groused over the insult to them. No wonder that the returned soldiers of the state of Minnesota have rebelled and gone:on record at the .action of the sq-called secretary of war, and every decent and patriotic citizen of the state is heartily of the same accord, for the gross insult they have received over the mantle of charity spread over a disloyalist, a foe of the government, twice con- victed of disloyal activities, yet pampered by the powers that be in the guise of a ‘“‘conscious objector.” The fact is the favor was bestowed by the secretary of war on the secretary of the Communist party of Minnesota, the 100 per cent loyal state during the war, turned loose to again spread his nefarious propaganda. But there’s one consolation, and that is in 1920 there will be no more of that stripe in the cabinet for there will be a de- cided change from top to bottom, and Minnesota will do her part in making the change. ) . St e a FEDERAL SUFFRAGE OF VITAL INTEREST. Although the Minnesota Woman Suffrage association has ceased to exist as an active organization and has become a part of the League of Women Voters, one of its paramount interests lies in the fate of the federal suffrage amendment ratification - campajgn.. League leaders and women of the state are there- fore ‘Tejoicing over the fact that ratification is moving rapidly along.. Word has just been received that the governor of| Oregon has called a special legislative session for the purpose of ratifying the suffrage amendment January 12 and the state- ment is appended that “ratification.is assured.” Minnesota women are particylarly interested in the matter for although the legislature has given them the right to vote for presidential electors, they are more than anxious to express themselves on the present political situation by the use of the full franchise at the next election. —_— MAKE THE CHRISTMAS TREE SAFE. The northern division of the American Red Cross is issuing a warning to all those who contemplate having the customary Christmas tree in their homes to make them safe, asserting that -6,830 persons die from burns each year, mostly traceable to carelessness in lighting Christmas trees. Many home decorators are inclir}ed to adorn the trees and also the interior of homes with cotton batting and flimsy mate- rial and it is such that lighted candles ignite in hundreds of instances. Everyone,’ who is considering holding a Christmas tree feature on that day, should use the utmost care in its decora- tion, to prevent accidental ignition. craft release, ““The Life Line,” which will be the attraction at the Elko NEWS OF THE theatre Sunday, Monday ‘and Tues- day.

Dorothy Gish in her Paramount pic- ture, “Out of Luck,” which is on view at the Elko theatre last times tonight, is a suspicious young lady, and, after all these portents, it seemed the most natural thing in the world to become mixed up‘in a fun- ny tangle with a newly eloped couple and end up by falliig in love with their best man. ‘ SPECIAL MUSICAL PROGRAM.
