MONDAY, JULY 30, 1923
THE NEW SENATOR
Magnus Johnson ox MeeKer coun
ty, Minnesota, the second member
of the Farmer-Labor Party to be
elected to a seat in the Unitea
States Senate—the other being his
more youthful Minnesota colleague,
Hendrick Shipstead—is certain to
be one of the most picturesque fig
ures in the Sixty-eighth Congress.
The new Senator, who is pledged
to line up with the LaFollette —
Wheeler-Brookhart bloc was born
in Warmland, Sweden 52 years ago
and came to America 30 years ago.
In Sweden he was a first class bottle
glass blower, but arriving in this
country he took up a farm in Min
nesota which he still owns, though
heavily mortgaged.
The public career of Senator
Johnson started eight years ago
when he was elected to the Legis
lature. He served two terms and
was <me of the hardest working
members especially with regard to
farmer and labor legislation. In
1922 he was Farmer-Labor candi
date for (Soutamog against governor
Preus. He etafceAwthin less than
15,000 votes of election.
It is claimed that he never wore
a dress shit and never will. He cam
paigned in his shirt ^sleeves, and
when the days were very hot he had
a habit of removing collar and tie.
He is of medium heighth, wears
gold rimmed spectacles, looks and
acts very much like Teddy Roosevelt,
likes to mix with people, refers to
himself as Magnus, and admits that
he has the loudest voice of any man
in Minnesota. His voice is certain to
create a sensation in the Senate.
He can be heard two blocks away
when speaking in the open, but it
is a pleasant voice, and the Swedish
dialect adds to its smoothness.
The gravest question confronting
the United States today is the dis
tress of the farming community.
While the farmer is suffering be
cause of the low prices obtained
for what he has to sell, the rest of
the world suffers from the high
price of farm products. Magnus
Johnson like Shipstead before him,
incarnates the farmers’ attempted
answer to this problem. He repre
sents the protest and the hopes of
that great body of producers upon
whom rest the prosperity and even
existence of the Nation. He is not
to be dismissed flippantly. He is a
ftgure to ■ be treated with respect,
because of the new convictions and
the justifiable revolt which he typ
ifies.
ROGERS RAISES BOB’S BID
Will Rogers, the famous cowboy
comedian, comments on Edward
Bok's offer of one hundred thous
and dollars for an acceptable plan
to stop wars. Ur. Rogers says a sim
ilar proposition made by Henry
Ford was ridiculed, but this offer is
even more ridiculous because the
plan must be accepted by the U. S.
Senate and become a law. Rogers
declares in all earnestness that he
will raise Mr. Bok’s offer to two
hundred thousand to any man that
will draft a bill on any subject that
will he adopted by the Senate as
submitted. He declares that Presi
dent Harding has repeatedly sug
gested that the way to stop wars
- _iA_i __ _.u___w
paltry hundred .thousand, that
•top the Dempsey
fttfrit) will ?iot t fiave any feffefct on a
“buHeh of ufttlti-rniilionainte’' crea

Harding is entitled to the “dough”
if he can put his idea through Con
gress. .

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
MEANS PROSPERITY
Speaking in New York recently,
Frederick J. H. Kracke, U. S. Ap
praiser, said that the United States
Treasury will collect this fiscal year
over a half biillion dollars in cus
toms duties, which is the largest
sum ever collected by the Federal
Government.
We will import close to $3,000
000,000 worth of raw materials in
twelve months, frdvich means ,that
we will have spent three billions in
foreign countries, and this Mr.,
Kracke says, is the greatest act of
economic reconstruction performed
by any one country since the arm-'
istice.
Our nation wide demand for raw
materials and finished goods has
been so great that foreign manu-!
facturers and producers have been
able to share with the people of
this country the period of industrial
and commercial prosperity.
This shows that our prosperity
is laying the foundation for an era
of international prosperity which
only international political uncer
tainties can disturb.
Also it shows that a reasonable
tariff does not kill trade with foreign
countries. If tax-free foreign goods
could be dumped on the American
market to the ruination of our own
industries, the American workman
and American people would not have
the money to buy foreign products
to the great benefit of foreign na
tions, in any such quantities hs they
are now purchasing. By maintaining
American industries on a prosperous
basis we not only help ourselves but
foreign countries.-The Manufact
urer.
KNOW YOUR COUNTRY
When addressing the Senate of
the state of New Jersey, in 1861,
Lincoln said, “May I be pardoned if,1
on this occasion, I mention that
away back in my childhood, I got
hold of a small book—‘Weems Life
of Washington.’ I remember all the
accounts there given of the battle
fields and struggles for the liber
ties of the country, and none fixed
themselves upon my imagination
so deeply as the struggle here at
Trenton, New Jersey. The crossing
of the river, the contests with the
Hessians, the great hardships endur
ed at that time, all fixed themselves
in my mind more than any single
Revolutionary event. I recollect
thinking then, boy even though I.
was, that there must have been
something more than common that
these men struggled for. I am ex
ceedingly anxious that that thing
shall be perpetuated in accordance
with the original idea for which
that struggle was made.”
Freedom in life, liberty and pur
suit of happiness was the “some
thing” which Lincoln referred to in
these lines.
What do the political parties and
advocates of government ownership
and increased regulation of private
■ " .. IN1
and industrial activity fM'buii® the
people that VtbhlfJ filial, or In any
way compare With Iftd ideals which
Washington and Lincoln straggled
to maintain? Think it ovet.—The
