BURN the HAMMER

On Christmas eve, in San
Francisco, this year, occurred
the ceremony of the official burn
ing of the knockers hammer.
The populace assembled around
Lotta's fountain, bonfire was
made and hammer was burned.
As the emblem of the knOcker
went up in smoke, the crowd
struck hands in a lasting and
binding agreement to work in
harmony thereafter, each doing
his level hest for the city's in
terest, and thus for his own IN
tereSt.
Would that every town in the
country, Sank Centre included,
might burn it's hammers. The
hammer has a proper use. 1t is
made to drive nails, to construct
things; not to destroy. A ham
mer. though it be only a little
one, can DO an immense amount
of harm in the hands of a person
who would rather destroy than
create. The man who is given
to this wrong use of the hammer
is of no use to himself or the
community in which he lives.
AS rule he doesn't amount to
very much. But by his cease
less hammering he can and does
do a lot of harm. Knockers are
generally in a minority b t
should they be in the majority
the town in which they live
might just as we'll quit business.
The idea of the San Francis.
cans is an excellent one. The
knockers hammer should be
burned. And if the knocker
won't quit knocking it might not
be a bad idea to burn him as
we'll.

CRAWFISnING

It's hard to pin st. Cloud
journalism down to anything
and keep it there. One of the
Granite City papers seems to de-
light in insinuating that The
Herald has advocated a $3.50, 900
court house for Albany. The
Herald has stated and restated
what is the fact, that Albany
claimed that a fine structure can
be built at Albany for half the
sum that St. Cloud people pro-
posed to build. This St. Cloud
proposition, which was ''gener-
ally talked about town." any
statement of the st. Cloud news
papers to the contrary with
standing, was for a 100000
building. Now the St. Cloud
papers assert that 100000 is
enough and claim that they
havn't heard anybody talk the
larger sum. None so deaf as
those who will not hear" AS tC
reluctantly admitting" h a
none of the St. Cloud news
papers ever stated that the pro
posed court house should cost
$500, 00O," T he Herald never
charged the St. Cloud papers
with making any such state
ment; they knew better than t.
come out boldly and ask for sucf
an expensive building, and arr
now trying to throw dust in tn
peoples eyes by asserting tina
such a proposition was neve
talked in st. Cloud. The fact il
that st. Cloud was laying it
wires to get the county to pa.
flor a very expensive building
and that when baked in this
took different tack.

FAMILY TELEFnOO1
ORGANIZATION

Modem conditions have
brought about the need for
what might be called a long
distance telephone organiza-
ton of the family. when
in doubt, telephone is an
axiom that ought to be i'm
pressed upon every member
of the family going on a
journey, or to live at dis
lance. The mother can reach
her children at school, and
children should be required
to telephone home occas-
ionaIly. When husband or
wife set out on a journey a
telephone itinerary should be
jotted down and left behind.
Members of the family
travelling should not be con-
tent with providing means by
which those left at home
may reach them quickly, but
should communicate with
the home frequently, and
particularly when there is
bad weather, transportation
delay, disturbance Of public
order, or any other unusual
condition where the traveller
happens to be. Bad news
flies fast, and is magni6ed by
distance. These things cause
apprehension at home.
No other medium conveys
the personal assurance and
causes such peace of mind
asthelong distance telephone
talk can give.
