It's too bad that such a worthy
cause as that espoused by the
Northern Minnesota Deve 10 p
ment Association should be pros
tituted to the ends of self-seek-
ing politicians. But that's just
what happened at the Crookston
convention and the Brainerd
meeting is likely to duplicate it
in that respect. The North Cen
trail Minnesota Editorial Associ-
ton, on its annual outing at
Walker, received a little of the
Crookston political overflow and
doesn't want any more. De-
velopment and reapportionment
are all right but should not be
subordinated to politics.

any such wholesale effusion of it as is

little more care or the provision of

The other point of view from which
both these practices are to be regarded
Is that Of the selfish interest of those
who are guilty of them. 1t is well
known fact that a smoking motor is a
motor which is being improperly used

very conditions which cause the smoke

the chauffeur who permits his car to
