One who is accused of crime is mot a. criminal. In our theory of jurisprudence he is innocent until a jury has weighed the evidence against him and found him guilty. As an innocent man he is en- titled to every courtesy and consideration .granted. innocent men who have not been accused of crime. If the mere fact that he has been accused makes _him less worthy in our sight we have not come:far since the day of witch burning. The state concedes that he is innocent until proved guilty, but having evidence that makes his guilt seem probable insists that he shall be locked in jail or shall furnish a reasonable bond for his ap- pearance in court to stand trial e - This arrangement is fair and necessary. Let us suppose that his trial has come to an end, that the state has been unable to sustain its charge against him, and that the jury has.found him inno- eent. 'When the state sets him at liberty or returns his bond has it dome-its full duty? Does it owe him nothing? . If one carries :a club with which to spoil the countenance of an enemy and while thus armed - ecomes upon a friend who is very like the enemy in appearance, and, being deceived by this resem- blance, swings the club against the friend’s ear, will he smile blandly when the ‘friend regains con- sciousness, and say to him: “I thought you were my enemy. I was mistaken. You may go now”? . Will he do no more than that? Citizens are the state. If the state, acting for each and all of its citizens, accuses one unjustly and COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (8y. EXONANGE EDITOR) PRESS Brainerd's Population: By The 1920 census of the government gave Brain- ‘erd a population of 9,691, being an increase of 1,065 over 1910: The percentage of increase is 12.5 per:cent, about the average. increase of Min- nesota cities. 3 - The Dispatch has tried to get the figures for each ward, so that a comparison may- be instituted and the people could see where gains were made and where no changes were recorded. " To those -who wished to see Brainrd stand in the 10,000 class and some even had hopes of a 12,000 population, the figures come in the way of a dis- appointment. As_Brainerd now stands: it has but 2,000 more than Bemidji. Crookston, not content ‘with 6,650 had a revision and attained 6,806.— Brainerd Dispatch.

Bold Highway Men. +, Monday night a bold holdup occurred in Gull Liake, that thriving hamlet ninetéen miles north of Bemidji. Two masked men’:entered the saloon g( Brinkman & Sisley. Jack O’Hara, the manager, 4d just stepped out a few minutes before with a largé. roll 'of money, but the robbers thought the bartender would do, so flashed. their revolvers with the old-fashioned request for everybody to “Hold . up your hands.” - There were four or five customers in the saloon; they followed the advice and strained their wrists in trying to reach the_ceiling. +. The robbers emptied the till and examined every cket of their victims. Thus they gleaned about 20, Mo more. They- muttered betwegn their durses: “Talk about prosperity, well, we will vote jist the same for Bryan.” The robbers then lined thie.men up against the wall, faces and noses kissing the plaster. . “Don’t any of you blokes leave his room afore w KRR KKK KKK * BIG LAKE * 3 0 3 o O b b 4 % % 4 % ' Glen Slosson and'family motored out. to Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

A call to ‘the country for {‘new minute men” in the United_ States is being made. 'An article which in this connection suggested that with the memory of the fine work done by the Four Minute Men during the war impetus shonld be given a move- iment, to~provide such volunteer patriota:in ‘dis- cussing the gravest of the domestic problems that. " now confront the people of the United States, the problem: of an_unrest that cannot be ignored, a radicalism fed from many soukces,” recently ap- pesred in the Evening World, New York. The article in question urges the organization first of such Minute Men and then_ arrangemants for addresses by them jn all sections and: onall possible occasions which shall be “constructive %% * in the sense of seeking by direct means to counter- act the effect upon men's minds of constant sinister suggestions that they can get what they are strug- gling for only by ‘smashing things.’” ' The’ article continues: Y 2 i “For every. agitator who mounts & soapbox to attack the government and the laws of the United States there should be another speaker on-.angther soapbox explaining -why the workingman'’s: best. guarantee of geiting his due. ‘without destroying the source -of the hoped-for ‘benefits is’ still Constitution of these same United States.” = ' Harmonizing with this suggestion: of :the' Bven- ing World .is 'a “Four- Minute Speech for the Legion,” written by Dr. Curran Pope, of Louisville, and headed a 100 Per Cent Americanism,” in ‘part: ¥ “We come to plead for help for the American: Legion; for the soldiers who have upheld all’-of these principles of Americanism, for the boys who stood in the trenches under the rain of molten iron or breasted the storm of modern gun fire. _They saved the day. They fought.while we worked< ‘We. honor thém and we wish to_help them help them-: selves for they represent the backbone of this and all other civilized countries. They stand for.
