Breckenridge Telegram: Several
young ladies (?) in Willmar have been

Window Reporter: If the country
banks will let their money 60 for the

landed Sam Langum the job of post
master of the national senate and house
at w ashington and if the gossips~ are
correct he will have a strenuous job
keeping him there. The Ohio delega-
tion thinks the place belongs to that
state, and it is reported will make

Speaker Cannon, and his finger is on
the nations strong box, and that helps
some.
Anoka Union: The United States
treasury department has no business to
pour millions into Wall street to save
from bankruptcy a lot of dastardly
stock speculators. Better for the coun-
try that they go out of business and are
never heard of any more forever.
This bOlstering up specu ]ators
should be prevented by law. No
better way to put all stocks on legiti-
mate basis and keep them there, with
the water all eliminated.
Hutchinson Leader: A sad sight in
Hutchinson is the number of boys and
young men that are fastening upon
themselves the tobacco habit. Any
evening on Main street you can see

etts or pipes. Out of 41OO school boys
who took examinations in the Cincin-
natl schools recently, 1923 failed to pass.

have got their growth-then don't be-

! Minneapolis journal: If the states
conld and would control the national
corporations, and control them fairly
and justly, there would be no need
for federal control But the task
is beyond their power. What then?

erable money this fall by gathering

! Mankato Free Press: Anyone who
has ever witnessed "session'' of con-
gress knows that to try 10 inaugurate
the reforms that have been suggested

fare, do not have a high regard for the
manner Of its procedure. Congress
needs reforming as. much as ANYTHING
we know Of. But its pretty hard
matter to persuade some people to re-
form themselves. They don't take
kindly suggestions along that line.
! Luverne Herald: While the failure
of railroad companies to run on sched.
ule time is not the most important of
needed remedial legislation, it never
theless is of sufficient Importance to
warrant serious attention on the part
of congress. It is probably safe to
state that full years time is lost to
the people of this country every day
wholly through the failure of the rail
roads to run their passenger trains on
time, to say nothing Of the loss and in
convenience suffered through the late,
ness Of the mails.
