"Any prejudice whatever will be inurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. WHY? When delegates elected by colored Americans in convention assembled to go to France and appeal to the Peace Conference for the abolition of the color line, applied to the State Department for passports, they were refused. BUT, when Irish-Americans asked for passports for four of their representatives to go to France and work among the delegates to the Peace Conference for FREE IRELAND, which really means interfering with the internal affairs of Great Britain, the passports were granted without a quibble. If it is right for Irish-Americans to go to the Peace Conference, why were Colored-Americans denied the right? WHY? Out of eight column headlines in one of the leading metropolitan dailies of a recent issue an issue printed when we are supposed to be either at peace or close to it, the following story is told: "Allied Missions Seized-Interned Budapest at Request of Lenine." Guns Rule Budapest. "All Egypt in Revolt." "Poland, Roumania and Jugoslavs Fear Bolshevik Invasions." "Council Needs Chief—Leader Wanted at Peace Table to Bring End to Discord." And now take a look at the following one which represents what is going right on just as though the other headlines never existed. A representative of blind egotism and stubborn will; a representative of the limit to which a man will go who believes in theories above practical things. "Wilson Draws Clause to Guard Monroe Code-League Powers Limited—Can Recommend but Not Force, Reduction in Armament." Such a comparison needs no explanation. In its subtle way it speaks for itself. SOUTH OUT OF SADDLE. An analysis of the state of committee chairmanships of the next house, as framed by the Republican committee on committees, shows the transfer of power from the south to the north, with the middle west exercising the dominant influence. Whereas nearly all of the important chairmanships, during the Democratic regime, were held by the south, only two states south of the Ohio river, Kentucky and Tennessee; will figure in the list this time. These two states will have one minor chairmanship each. The chairmanships of seven of the ten principal committees will be held by representatives from the four middle western states of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Two of the remaining three go to Pennsylvania and one to California. Pennsylvania leads the list of states in the number of chairmanships with eight. Illinois is second with seven, but none of these is a major chairmanship. NOT EVEN GOOD OLEO: MINISTER MILITANT "I don't propose to have it (the league of nations) crammed down my throat until I know what it is, what it looks like, tastes like and what it is to cost this country." This is the way one minister expresses his views concerning the league. He is the Rev. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church, of New York, and head of the National Service Section of the U. S. Shipping Board. He expressed his views while speaking at Wilmington, Del., and praised the critics of the league plan, even though he is for a league of nations, by saying: "God bless the thirty-seven Senators who criticized the league of nations plan. Americans have to make the greatest decision since the signing of the declaration of independence." HAD A FINE TIME The Department of Labor's industrial junketeers, who sailed in January to study labor conditions abroad, and possibly to catch a few crumbs from royal tables, have returned. Like Mr. Hurley, who meandered abroad to enforce a world-wide marine wagescale, they return with open minds and ears to the ground after an enjoyable trip at public expense which netted them no concrete information. It is now Secretary Redfield's turn to provide for a junket. European tours de luxe at public expense for government officials looking forward to retirement in 1920 are the order of the day. "On account of the war." NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. William J. Bryan positively asserts that the idea in the League of Nations of "deliberation before war" is taken from the 30 treaties negotiated by the United States with three-quarters of the world. These treaties were written while Mr. Bryan was Secretary of State. So the idea is not, as some would have us understand, original with Mr. Wilson. However, if this nation should ever again undertake the deliberation which characterized our "watchfully waiting" Administration from 1914 to 1917, it might be we would be overwhelmed before the plan of defense had been mapped out. SAME OLD STUFF Remembering the language in which President Wilson induced his democratic congress to reverse itself on the subject of Panama canal tolls, against the interests of the United States, it will not be surprising if he tells the country that the proposed constitution of the League of Nations must be indorsed "in ungrudging measure" or he will not know how to deal with other vital international problems. WE'LL HANDLE OUR BUSINESS. We shall very likely make many changes in our laws and a few changes in our Constitution, in the future as in the past, but we shall make them on our own judgment and not at the behest of people of other lands who have come here to share in American prosperity without helping to support American institutions. CONSIDER THE SKYROCKET. 'Midst all his luxurious voyages across the Atlantic, his parades before the cheering throngs, his festivities with royalty and his dictation of peace treaties, President Wilson should reflect that "No bird ever flew so high but that he had to light."

After more than a year of serious illness, Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Birdeaux passed out of this life into endless day, on March 31, at 5:55 p. m. She was a long and patient sufferer despite the fact that all that medical skill could do was done. All that relatives and dear friends could do, she was resigned to the master's will and was ready and willing to go. Mrs. Birdeaux resided in St. Paul for nearly fourteen years, during which time she made many loyal friends, who were unfitting in their efforts to cater to her needs and make her comfortable during her illness. She was *r* Christian for more than thirty years and used her best endeavors to bring up her children in the way they should go and lead Christian lives. She leaves to mourn her loss a husband and four step children and two children by a former husband. Also two sisters, Mesdames Lafe Shelton and Mattie Shaffer.

The following poems are from the prolific pen of Mr. E. G. Hinebough, editor and publisher of The Minneapolis Citizen, they speak for themselves. "VICTORY." "Victory"—The Magic Word, of the World, Has crowned our efforts, with banners unfurled, America's share, in Freedom's great work, Is proof Uncle Sam, will never Duty shirk. Pay Day, has come, for obligations, all square, Contracted when "Our Boys" were, "Over There" They did their duty, without fear, or fright, And many were in, the greatest fight. As Americans, for America, while earning homes here, Let us pay up obligations, with a mighty cheer. The "Last Call" has come, in a patriotic tone, Now subscribe all-together, for the "Victory" Loan. "FINISH THE JOB." The Master Minds, of the days of old, Lived in history, because they were bred. While fighting in battles, or facing a mob, Their only object, was, "Finish the Job." The World's greatest War, just now past, Where Crowns, and Empires fell, thick and fast, Until suffering Nations, with many a sob, Called on America, to "Finish the Job." The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave, Fought for Freedom, and the World to save, New let, every Citizen, Soldier, and Sailor "Gob" Urge, the "Victory" Loan, and "Finish the Job." N. W.

RECITAL A GREAT SUCCESS The following excerpt from the Fergus Falls Daily Journal will doubtless interest Minneapolisians: Mrs. M. W. Witers, dramatic reader of Minneapolis, who gave a recital Friday evening, April 4th, in the Federated church, for the benefit of the Central Baptist church of which her husband is pastor, was greeted by a packed house. The auditorium, having a seating capacity of four hundred, was taxed beyond its many were turned away. The door receipts amounted to a little more than $100.00. Mrs. Witers displayed wonderful dramatic talent in her interpretations of the Phelps, Peple, Riley and Dunbar numbers. Phelps 'Littlest Rebel', a patriotic reading, was exceptionally well given, and likewise received. She was most ably assisted by the harp, Messdames Capitol Billings, the harp, and Iman; and Isabel Ferry, vocalist. The trio was thus stitially applauded through the program. MRS. C. J. SAWBRIDJE.

It was once thought that to gain knowledge in any systematic manner one must put himself under the direct, personal supervision of a teacher. Many still think this, and when it is impossible to do this give up all effort at self improvement. This is to call attention to the fact that instruction by correspondence has been developed. Just such needs as theirs at the State University at Minneapolis and the work by the Correspondence Study Department of the General Extension Division. The work as at present organized includes preparatory and college grade courses and vocational courses in business and engineering subjects. The preparatory courses are of high school grade. The college courses enable one to work for credit toward a degree from the University. As many as half the credits required may be earned in this way. Students who seek university credit must be able to satisfy the entrance requirements of the University, but if credit is not desired, any one may register for these courses. Many of them are of general design as they do with economics, history, science, sociology, and other subjects, of present interest. The vocational courses are practical in their nature and make constant application of the principles they teach. These, as well as the other types of courses, will be increased in number and scope as the demand grows. The Ramsey County War Records Commission, with headquarters in the Athletic Club, are desirous of obtaining any and all Ramsey County War Records of any and all war services rendered by soldiers, sailors, nurses, war organizations, civic and fraternal societies or lodges, churches and other organizations. The commission has issued a booklet containing details which may be an exhaustive information at headquarters. Interested parties should at once make application for the booklet. DO IT NOW.

MONJOY-JONES TRAINED SURGE Minneapolis Placed There to Keep in Touch With Britain. USE DUTCHMEN AS COURIERS Carry Messages to Enemy Agents in England—Loose Passport System Made Things Easy at First—Some of the Spies Were Highly Educated Men, Others Were Were Shadowers and Touts—Dangerous Band Broken. There were 10,000 known German agents in Holland during the war. A Dutch police inspector explained to the New York Sun that to expel them would simply mean that their places would be taken by other and unknown agents. They drifted into Holland on various pretexts. Some were highly educated men, capable of moving in the best society; others were mere shadowers and tots. They took up all sorts of positions. The case of the porter at the Hotel des Indies, the Waldorf-Astoria of The Hague, who proved to be a brother of the then German ambassador at Constantinople, is already known. But that is only one of hundreds of similar incidents. The chief task of this army of men was of course to keep in touch with Great Britain. In the early days of the war there was no more difficulty in this than if there was no war. British passports in those days were not worth the paper on which they were produced. A young journalist who was in Holland but had no passport got one from the local Consul (a Dutchman of course) simply on the production of a letter from home. Later on it was rendered very difficult to get a British passport, but curiously enough the previous issues of useless paper were not withdrawn until the war had been in progress for three full years. It need hardly be said that the German secret service made good use of the carelessness. Lack of Co-operation. Again the spies benefited from the lack of co-operation between the different British departments. Thus in one large town the British community was unofficially warned against patronizing a certain music dealer, who was a known German agent. Yet that man was one of the few Dutch music dealers who had a license for the import of British music. Dutchmen were largely used as couriers between the German agents in Holland and the spies in Britain. Loose women and night clubs were employed as a means of ensnaring young men for this purpose. Another aspect of the activities of these human moles was that of gathering information in Holland. The organization behind them was marvelous. Enormous prices were paid to Dutch telegraphers for copies. of entente code wires passing between the legations and Downing street or the Quay d'Orsay. So rampant did this evil become that the Dutch authorities had to insist on each operator submitting to a search before going on duty and again afterward. Photography was used to an extraordinary extent. Passengers boarding the boats for England were snapshotted and the photos all carefully filed. Photography was chiefly used to easnare possible victims. On one occasion a French attachie, riding in the woods near Wassenaar, encountered a lady who had been thrown from her horse. With the gallantry of his race, he went to her assistance. A few days later he was confronted with photographs of himself kneeling beside the "injured" lady. He was told that the lady was not injured at all, and would tell her own story. Dangerous Band Broken Up. With the threat of exposure as a lever, great effort was made to turn him into a traitor. Fortunately, he acted promptly and with courage, and in consequence a dangerous band was broken up. This was by no means an isolated instance. One characteristic of Teutonic methods was the adoption of great precautions to get the odium, in the event of discovery, thrown on Britain. On one occasion an "English" yacht, manned by "Englishmen," was found stranded in forbidden waters near the mouth of the Scheldt. The yacht was seized and the crew arrested. On board was found a fairly complete plan of the Dutch mine field protecting the mouth of the Scheldt. The odium was thus thrown on Britain. Happily, a few days later the plot was discovered and the pseudo-Englishmen found to be Teutons from Hamburg. Finally, an instance may be given of how the practice of spying has been ingrained in the German people. A Dutch family living at Haarlem had a German boy of eleven staying with them in the summer of 1917. They found that the youngster was keeping a note of all that was said in the conversation about Germany. When asked the reason of this, the boy said that he had been instructed to do so by his school-teacher, so that anybody who spoke against the kaiser could be found out and punished. That from a boy of eleven! Half of Town Had Flu. More than 50 per cent of the 500 inhabitants of Mount Braddock, Pa., were stricken with the Spanish influenza and about 10 per cent died. THE LAUGHTER SYSTEM USED GUARANTEED TO GROW HAIR IN SIX TREATMENTS Jerusalem Is Modernized by Motortruck. Beasts of Burden Are Smothered in Dust of Speeding Automobiles. Jerusalem.—The life of two periods, distant by many centuries, seems to flow along the roads that lead to this ancient city. The camel, though he has done great things for the British forces, is losing his position as the main means of transport, and the natives driving their camels carrying huge packs of Eastern merchandise are passed by the big engines of the evergrowing British broad-gauge railway, at which the country people stare with open-mouthed astonishment. Then along will come an Assyrian or an Arab on his donkey or mule, his wife walking behind and carrying a great pack on her head. In this way they transport much stuff for many miles. Now they are smothered in dust from the great quantity of motor transport on the roads. The five barley loaves and small fishes still have to feed a good many people in this country, and women may still be seen grinding their scanty cup of corn between stones, but now with the introduction of good seed the country already is showing signs of vast improvement. Cotton is still made up into rough material in a primitive method on a kind of bow. With the new opportunities now opening the old spinner is likely to be looking for another job. Already in quite small towns you will see names of well-known London firms. This has aroused the local shops to a kind of competition, and all kinds of important signs over small shops, with hardly anything to sell, announce: "The Provisions," "The Up-to-date Hosley and Dry Goods Store," "The Manchester House," and many similar. It is doubtful if 5 per cent of the prospective customers can read the signs. Shepherds on the hills still tend their flocks, dressed in camel hair, and nightly light their camp fires to keep off the prowling jackals and hyenas. But in the future much of this rich land, now practically barren, is likely to receive the attention of the steam tractor. Altogether, with the present means of transport by rail, the great improvement in the water supply and the rapid introduction of European methods and customs, it may be hoped a year or two of peace will change this country into a real "land of milk and honey." TELLS OF FALSE DIAGNOSES Doctor Jackson Saye Foreign Substances Often Mislied Physicians. Atlantic City, N. J.—Many physicians were misled by the presence of unsuspected foreign substances in lung cavities and rushed patients to California and other distant places to recover from purely imaginary tuberculosis, declared Dr. Chevallier Q. Jackson of Pittsburgh in an address before the American Roentgen Ray society at the Hotel Traymore. He advocated that persons believed to have bronchial affections should submit to the Roentgen ray at least once a year. In a resume of doctors' errors, Doctor Jackson told of the discovery of an inverted staple in a man who had been under treatment for tuberculosis for 18 months, and of the finding of the top of an atomizer in a patient who had spent much time in California. He said that the rays had discovered an umbrella tip in the body of a daughter of a physician after the girl had been an invalid for six years, of the location of a six-penny nail which caused "unmistakable symptoms" of tuberculosis, and of the finding of tacks which also confused the diagnosticians. Dr. Charles A. Waters, United States army medical corps, declared that thousands of American soldiers had been saved in France by the use of the most modern methods of locating bullets and shell splinters. He declared that speed by the American surgeons also saved many lives and declared that when the marines stopped the Germans at Chateau-Therry, the American surgeons passed wounded at the rate of 250 every day. FLAX DISTRICT IS RUINED Belgian City Taken by Germana Shorn of Barges and Precious Machinery. Washington.—Before the war Courtal was a center for the production of flax of European importance, and the city harbored for this purpose a large English and Irish colony. Now the whole flax district is ruined. The large barges in which the flax was put to rot in the Lys were sold by the Germans as firewood much below their value. The copper from the flax mills and the other precious machines were requisitioned. The soldiers were quartered in the factories and the celebrated "Lelcweerschen," the plains on which the flax was bleached, were plowed and planted with tobacco and potatoes. Many, indeed, of the fertile flax fields were turned over several times and many served as battlefields. It will be years before the fields bear flax again Your Credit is Good at the GLOBE FURNITURE CO. 473-475 St. Peter St. The Leading New and Second Hand Furniture of the City. Tel. Cedar 3817. A. B.
