SPE ESOS EHS “ The first day a man’is a @ “> guest, the second a burden, the , %},. & third a pest—Laboulaya: 9) 0g SLPS IS OOO SS ’ SSS TIP FROM ‘CANADA.’ The Canadian legislation conveys a valuable péritigal iatito America also. “ year from now, when a new con- gress is elected, some 3,000,000 Ameri- can voters, the pick, of the nation, may. be in France. The slacker vote left behind’ might’ constitute a danger in some sectfons. ‘ Governor Bilbo of Mississippi, real- izing? this, has just called a special session of the. Mississippi legislature to give every Mississippian abraad, in the regular army, national guard, na- tional army, navy or marine corps, a chance to cast his vote. Bilbo is not going to let the Varda- man slacker gang seize the state gav- ernment in the absence of many of the state’s bést voters. Every American state should adopt similar legislation. Only the states can do it, as ngress has nothing to do with franchise rights. At the sametime congress has no power to postpone elections until after the war and the return of the soldiers, as has been done in France and England. Some of the northern states which were in the union during the Civil war, have laws providing for a sol- dier vote. The state troops voted in the field. In the Spanish war soldiers from these states voted in Cuba or the Phil- ippines, and last year many of them voted on the border. But these troops were organized in state units and officered by state offi- cers. In the regular army and navy and new selected service army are men of all the states merged in the same units. Many of the national guard regiments from various states are being merged. These.men should vote. Uncle Sam has. records showing the state of their origin. The states should adopt laws under which they can vote. THE AMERICAN WAY. In the name of American business the representatives at the recent war convention held under the auspices of the chamber of commerce of the Unit- ed States assured Uncle Sam he could have them, their industries, their good will and all the rest of their posses- sions on his own terms and conditions. They went a step further and de- clared themselves in’ favor of price fixing by the government not only for its own needs, but also for the pub- lic, and for government control of dis- tribution, in accordance with whatever need may develop. They gave a pledge that there would be no unsettlement of labor condi- tions on their part for the duration of the war. In return, they asked for a truce by labor, so that the necessary war work could be speedily accomp- lished, and for arbitration by the gov- ernment in any cases where disputes might arise. This is progress. Also patriotism. It-is practical. It can be achieved. It will serve notice to the world, and obstacles in the path of the govern- | gone democratic. ‘do all we can to win this war—our ment. In times past it has often been sai and often with justice, that business is utterly selfish, utterly callous to the national needs, only occupied with the chase of the immediate dollar. But over night business has very largely , as the ‘armer does, The business man real laboring man does, as the f as all of us do, that unless we all put our shoulders to the wheel and Lusiness, our Iabor, our farms won't be worth very much. If we lose this war the kaiser will have a war mort- gage in every business, every pay en- velope, every farm in the land. This is no idle dream, no scare story. When Germany conquered France in 1870 the Prussians not only took the rich territories of Alsace Lor- raine, but they imposed a staggering war indemnity and kept soldiers on ench soil until the last penny of it was paid over. Our hard-headed business men are not keen for this to happen. They promise to do their part. That is the American way: They will be imitated by all other real Americans. Just'as the roastin’ ears time passes us by, chestnuts await the fire; but you can roast the’ kaiser at all ‘sea- sons, WAITING WORD FROM THE LEAGUE. (Minneapolis Tribune. The United States senate is still being bombarded with memorials de- manding the expulsion from that body of Senator Pobert M. La Follette of Wisconsin. Does any one recall that a memorial, protest or anything of the kind has come from any quarter of the Nonpar- tisan league? The query is pertinent because the master spirit of the league, after assuring the country that no seditious talk would be permitted at the conference in St. Paul, sat by while Senator La Follette delivered, himself of a speech that has been} denounced’ by patriots far and’ near. , A. C.' Towhley, president of the league; told the Minnesota, public safe-| ty commission he was disappointed in La Follette’s speech: |The speaker; ise about the nature, of his address. Would it-not be a good idea, now, if Mr. Townley were to take the'lead ‘in a movement to put'the league: formal- jy on record'as condemning the sena- tor from Wisconsin for what he said? If la Follette! broke ‘his’-~word: and the league, thereby injuring its stand- ing as an organization in the north- west, isn’t 'the league’ justified in join- ing the army of protest ‘and denuncia- tion that has risen up.ail over the land? As Mr. Townley. waited four days to express his disappointment, the league need not consider it yet too late to speak its mind. As the Fargo Courier-News, official organ of the league, still adverts to La Follette as “one of the bravest champions of the common good,” it may he too much to expect it to smile upon the suggestion of a formal pro- test or memorial to the senate. How- ever, isn’t it possible that the Courier- News is not at present reflecting the sentiment of thé rank and file of the league? That is something the gen- eral public in the northwest would like to have cleared up. Hunger fights all winter long, when soldiers can’t. Save food! Saving food is saving human life. Thus, wasting food is crime. Food you can and put away will return another day, but foods that now overfeed hungry mouthed folk’ll need. The trouble with La Follette has always -been that he thought he was not only the biggest frog in the pud- dle, but the only one. Perhaps the reason candy goes up as sugar comes down is that there never was much sugar in some candy anyhow. A Philadelphia man sues his wife for divorce because she won't speak to him, proving, according to some married men, that he doesn’t know when he is well off. A distinguished New Yor pacifist declared he'd “go to hell for his coun- try.” His constituents so unanimously dared him to do it that now he’s mad and won’t go. Put a L-cent stamp on the magazine you've read and hand it to the post- man.; A soldier will get it. It costs you one cent to let a hero know he’s remembered. If you have a surplus product, can it or dry it. Save it, though you have to put it,in your safety deposit box. A pound of saved food fights like a hundtedweight of powder.

The suprethe court and all the public offices closed for half a day. took one of the business men to task for not closing half a day and fo opening at 8 a. m. sharp and not at 9 or 10 a. m.,, or 2 p.m. The answer was: We cannot do business in that way. If we do as you judges and state officers, others would take o:1r places or the ‘business would go te ruin. In business no man can draw 2 salary without doing his work and being on time to a minute, and the same rule should apply to every pul: lic servant.

We have still on hanil some 25 cases which should have been decided some months ago. “This week we have handed down a decision in the McGin- nity case. It should be read by ‘every rube and every lawyer. The reading should save the farmer the expense of many'a vexatious lawsuit. It should save the lawyer from the delusion of thinking it an easy matter to deceive or hoodwink the judges. Separate con- curring opinions have been written by Justices Grace, Birdzell and Robinson and a dissent by Justice Christianson. There are two McGinnity brothers; one is at Thief River Falls and one at McGregor, lowa.
