A. O. Preus, and there are many, will feel gratified that ‘he is people of the state to decide the issue of a successor for Sen- ator Knute Nelson. If he had followed merely the course of political expediency, he would have resigned and accepted in return an appointment at the hands of Louis Collins, lieu- tenant governor. Many governors have been placed in the same predica- ment, but they have spurned the idea of political barter in the case of such a high office. The only unfortunate phase of the incident was the assumption that Gov, Preus would cept a seat in the United States senate upon such terms pon reflection he h aken a much wiser course and one i it does not win him the toga will certainly preserve his self respect and the esteem of his many friends. The rise of “Jake” Preus from clerk at Washington to Gegvernor of Minnesota has been phenomenal in the political annals of the North Star state. He is in his fortieth year, a young man to have achieved such political honors. Senator Nelson has been his politi mentor. It was Nelson’s in- fluence that made Preus state insurance commissioner, state auditor and finally governor. It is just possible that the voters of Minnesota will send him to the United States sen- ate for that was the wish of Senator Nelson who had picked Preus to succeed him. Upon the eve of a national campaign, the Democrats will make a vigorous fight as well as the nonpartisan league under the banners of the Farmer-Labor party. Pretis will have stiff competition within his own party ranks, but the pres tige of his state machine should count for much. ” CRIPPLE’S GI 3 William H. Eustis is one of Minneapolis’ most useful zens. A cripple throughout most of his life, he is going to endow a hospital for children whose limbs are defective where the best medical science can be obtained by those who have no mone He is pre Publishers DETROIT Kresge Bldg pared to give million to bring his plans to completion. Seventy-eight years of age, he is alone in the world. Because of his infirmities, he never married and plans to leave behind him an institution which will afford coming generations a chance for treatment that was denied him. But Mr. Eustis is not alone in his charity. There are so many instances over the country of a like magnanimity. These instances give the lie to the breeder of class hatred who always pictures the man of money as the oppressor of the poor. Hundreds of cases such as this never come to the public eye. Men of wealth give of their riches in places where the gift never proclaims the giver. Recently, the New York Times published a report of the controller of the Rockefeller Foundation where millions have been used to advance the cause of civilization in many parts of the world. : Contrast conditions in Russia where cla spirit has sway, with those in America. The tyranny of a fixed idea such as prevails in the realm of the Bolsheviki, is known to those who read. Disease, poverty, squalor, atheism and worse follow in the wake of the practices of those “benign leaders” Lenine and Trotsky over whose “triumphs” the parlor socialists of this nation prate and chatte The so-called evils of capitalism are insignificant com- pared to the crimes committed in the name of applied social- ism such as directs the red regime of Russia. DOING A REAL SERVICE Sean the programs of the various District conventions of the Women’s Federation and be informed as to the variety | of work being done by these women, not only to develop themselves through study, but the welfare work that has pelt endorsement and which makes for better community life. x = Public health work and girl welfare stand out promi- | nently in many of the discus sions giving the lie to the charge oft repeated that women neglect their homes for club activi- | ties. Usually a good club woman is a good mother and home- maker. There are few exceptions for the program endorséd at their various gatherings upholds the sacred obligations , of motherhood. May their efforts be redoubled in the cause of public wel- fare. They have,done much in the state to promote better | conditions. Bismarck has profited by their visit and the -women of the city should gain renewed inspiration to carry on the noble work.
