The nght Kind of a League or We Should Own the World : (The big reason for much of the opposition here to the league of nations is found in the following article from the Evening Plutocrat, a very exclusive paper in which the special interests say just what they are thinking about.) 2z |ASHINGTON.—“The very #| idea is treachery and treason,” declared Sena- tor N. A. Bob in an ex- clusive interview granted to the representative of the Evening Plutocrat. The distin- guished statesman referred, of course, to the crazy agitation for a league of nations, and the fact that he is prom- inently mentioned as a candidate for the highest office in the “gift” of the people, makes his view of this prom- inent world question especially in- teresting. “Think of the whole sxtuatlon,” con- tinued the senator, “its promise to us and the folly of exchanging advice 125 years old to avoid entangling al- liances for this new Bolshevist, So- cialist and crack-brained plan.” “But it is advanced by many very moderate groups here,” replied the Plutocrat representative. “President Wilson and his following could hardly be classed as Bolshevist.” “That’s’ just where so many are making a mistake,” declared the sen- ator. “You have probably noticed that Wilson no longer enjoys the good will of the great business leaders and that fact shows where he belongs. “Business sees the great opportu- nity before us, while Wilson and other Bolshevists disregard it and are will- ing to sacrifice America. “The war has knocked out all the big nations but the United States, Japan and Russia. We can easily take care of Japan, however, and Russia is far off. Nothing, in fact, stands in the way of our fulfilling our great des- !:iny. You may ask what this destiny is. . “We should first clean up Mexico; then South America is legitimately our territory and Canada belongs with us. The whole western hemisphere should be made American at the ear- liest possible moment. “Our brains and capital also can take care of Africa and. Asia much better than they are taken care of now. “By that time we would be ready for the Bolsheviks of Europe and a few quick blows would bring them under our control. “America’s destiny would thus be realized. She would know no boun- daries- but the North and the South pole. Her flag and her dollar mark would be seen everywhere. Her pros- perity would be' unlimited. Our great packers would handle the world’s” meat supply; the steel corporation would handle all the iron and steel; Morgan would do the world financing, ete.” “But would not this glorious \Jpro- ‘gram produce serious unrest at home?” queried the Plutocrat corre- spondent. “It would mean more war and the people are fed up on war. It would mean more taxes and universal military training.” “Nonsense,” was the senator’s quick reply, “successful foreign wars are the best means of killing off the rad- icals. They give the excuse for es- _pionage laws; they ginger up .the courts into resolving all doubis against the accused; they can be used to prevent all propaganda hostile to what we plan for the nation. - The German junkers failed because their country was not big enough and -be- cause ‘they could not stop what they had started in time. But we are big enough. IR “How foolish then it is for Wilson and others to be planning to deal-with all the rlffrafl' foreigners as equals in- stead of making them Americans first by pounding a little Americanism into them. That’s the kind of interna- tionalism we need—America over all.” FARMERS’ MUTUAL INSURANCE O. M.

They now have some $450,- 000,000 of insurance in force, with an average cost of $1.70 per thousand. Durmg the last 40 years these com- panies have collected $9,326,707, an average cost of but $1.80 per thousand The average stock company farm rate for the same period is $6 per thou- sand, or three and a half times that paid in tfxe mutuals. Therefore, these companies have saved the farmers of Minnesota $21,662,316 toward a good living and 10 per cent. It does not stop here. Mr. Thursber’s figures show the general and class mutuals have saved the people of Minnesota some $4,638,560 during the last 40 years. —NORTHWEST FARMSTEAD.
