MINNESOTA PARTIES Rl N'NING TRl’E TO
PRINCIPLES. .....
There ir one notable thing in connection with the
voting in 11 inni.ota today that ought to cull fytftlfi
commendation. None of the candidates are fiy.iyj
under lulte colore. The radical candidate id'
ing as a Democrat or a Republican. He is running
as the Farmer Labor Party nominee. Parties in Min
ntfota. therefore, represent something definite. TU«
Republican nominee, generally speaking, represents
the regular Republican Party t lie more c4a*«'vat \f‘o
cUnif.nl of the population. The Farmer IgaUw nom
inee represents the more radical element. The Dgmo
natic nominee represents, again speaking generally, ^
the natural position of that party the liberal ele
n.eni that refuses to recognise dace or bloc distinc
tions, the middle, ground, the democratic -posit-imi
However, there, an usually whenever and wherever
the light between two parties particularly the twtj
extremes- become intense, the people are aligning
themselves with one or the other of the bitter contest,
ants and the returns are likely to show a very small
Democratic vote in Minnesota today. Demurats will
give their votes in most part to one or the other of
the other candidates the regular Republican Or the
Farmer Labor nominee.
Tills is not tin usual recent procedure of 4 he radi
cals. Generally they concentrate and try to cap
ture tile organization of one or the other of ‘the
major political parties. They bore from within.
In North Dakota, for instance, they have captured
the Republican Party. They have done that 'in Iowa,
Nebraska and Wisconsin. In Montana and party in
some ether States they have captured the Demo
cratic Parly. . » -
The result of this boring from within ujfe’t.hodg of
political proceeding is shown in Congress. The rc'/lt
lar, conservative, element ol the Repubilctyijt have
tn overwhelming majority among those in tfiV Kefidte
and House who are listed as Republicans (some ac
cupy the middle ground) hut these are so many' atfionS'
them whose true political classification would by wjjtli
the Furmer Labor Party of Minnesota that 'the rescrfle-r;
Republicans have not a majority in el 111 er. p.rnnc'lj- in f:
Congress. The Democrats in Congress are similarly
divided: that is, the large majority occu^EjS ^he
theortlcal democratic position, tlie middle g
refuses to recognize class or bloc diet Inc ttOM^wpue
tome of them belong to the more conserva*ve cLgss
and some to the radical class. „/ ^ f

AMERICANS INVEST IN ELROPE.
American Interests are making large investments
in Central Europe, according to late reports frtmv that
region. They are purchasing lands, timber and other
mourcee in Czechoslovak, Rumania and Austii<£ and
financial institutions ure organizing for ihdf 4tui ihihP
ot financing business men and indestrtes in those
countries.
Commenting on this situation, a leading news
service with offices at Prague and Vienna with cor
respondents in various Central European a,nd near
Eastern points, says:
Our Budapest correspondent reports fttut: V
a group of American financiers are negotlijt*

The negotiations are continuing and the

The city of Carlsbad, Czechoslovakia, is
reported to have received an offer of a large
Dollar credit for the purpose of consolidat

amply secured through the many resources
of this world-famous Mecca of the world's

The Quebec Provincial Government made a net

Pulp and Paper.
,f (Ketchikan Chronicle.)
The Federal Forestry Service, under the direction
of Col. Greeley, has made much progress in paving
(lie way for this industry fpulp and paper] which
promises one day to be one of Alaska's greatest.
Preliminary surveys, timber surveys, powersite sur
veys, tog scaling, rainfall charts, and other informa
t’on desired Is being compiled by the Bureau and tt
has made it. u point to act thoroughly and promptly
pin all requests for information and assistance from
prospective investors. In this connection it may be
Safd that the Forsetry Bureau in Alaska which conies
in direct contact with a substantial portion of the
public has given such eminent satisfaction that it' Is
one of the few bureaus of the national government
of which one never hears complaint—a rare aecom
jilishme.nt in this age. its treatment of the public
lh always fair, prompt and courteous, but it is handi
capped like other government works in Alaska by lack
funds.
When the tremendous area covered by the na
tional forests are considered, the funds available for
surveys, road and trail building are Inadequate, it
W1I be seen, and consequently the development of
the national forests will be. slower than if Congress
should provide the funds which the natural resources
warrant.
Back from the Farm.
(New York Post.)
High wages in tlie city anil low prices for farm
products are having their expected result. The
Agricultural Department, following a survey of 10.
000 representative farms and groups of farms, esti
mates that during 1922 our agricultural population
decreased approximately 460,000. Had it not been
for the excess of births over deaths in rural districts,
the loss would have been 1,120,000 that figure meas
uring the net shift from farms to cities. At the
same time the Agricultural Department announces a
nrnrkrd shortage of farm labor. Two years ago, it
UIhi us, there was a surplus of 9 per cent; one year
ibgo-even a surplus of 11 per cent., and now there 1b
h alienage of 12 per cent.
These figures contain proof of the fluidity of Am
erican labor, which swung to the land during the de
pression of 1921, and now that wages are rising in
mills and factories Is swinging back. The shortage on
Turin's is greatest in the North Atlantic States—23
per cent where the automobile, steel, and lextlle
hftuiuvtidea call loudest. Hut it is marked even in the
where for a year many communities have been
'train ed by a resumption of the wartime migration
northward. A farmhand in the Middle West now
gets about $49 a month and board, or one and one
thiid tiie pre-war wage, while a factory hand in New
York gets twice the pre-war wage.
No doubt tiie farmers will exert themselves lo re
store the labor balance. In pari,, the rural comiinini
iies will meet it by harder work and more labor
saving machinery; Wallace's Farmer recently esti
mated that the average farmer is producing 5 to 10
per £ent. more in food products than before the war.
-But .many farmers will cut down their acreage, which
is ft stop towards meeting the demand of seme farm
leaders for limited production.

There is something in (he life of a man who
squares himself with good citizenship, right living and
faithfulness to ideals that udds a value lo his literary
and musical productions. One feels in reading Mark

There are so many near-writers, so many near
musicians who, under the guise of temperament, at

duties that civilization has found necessary to its con

uitistic career. But when the real men appear, the
men whose names we keep in memory, who liberalize
us. who educate us and leave us more advanced in art
or calling, it will he found lhat in the homely, simple
things of life they are true lo type and their genius
is not a thing apart, but has hack of it all the ele
ments that make for a manly life.
