The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1913-12-16

We confess! The editorial on Friend
ship which has been in several cases
copied and credited to us, and about
which Gunnar Bjornson said such
kind things, was not product of our
pencil. Inadvertently the name of
the author, along with the closing
paragraph, during the throes of MAX
ing up, were sent to an untimely
death in the hell-box We wish we
had written tilt expresses our ideas
with such patness. But next to the
capability for really saying such
things, is the capacity for enjoying
them when others say then-so much
of credit do we take to ourself.

NINETEEN HUNDRED YEARS AGO

~ INCE THE WHITE night at
Bethlehem, with the recurring
49, anniversaries of the Nativity it
has become the custom of mankind
to pause, recount it's steps toward
an Ideal and set its feet forward. The
season brings moment when mater
ial things are set by.
How far have we gone this year?
Measured in terms of human des-
tiny, the movement has been inf
Intestinal; measured by even life
time it has been small. Yet TIE lot
OF children in industry is Z little less
pitiful; the restrictions Of woman
Kind are a little less severe; the man
upon the seas is little less a slave,
the scourge of wealth ard power is
a little less brutal; the burden
poverty is a little less hard; the birth
of a child is not so often a tragedy;
the sorrow of old age is somewhat
oomforted.
Humankind is like great army.
Those before would hasten it on.
Those behind would hold it back.
Y thin it is rent with dissensions,
torn with rival tongues, cluttered with
camp followers and baggage,-with :.
f =, est of banners all WIZ differently,
swaying this way and that.
Put always it moves.
And always it draws. nearer-per-
ccptibly nearer-the Great Ideal

GOSSIP OF THE PRESS

A Twin City political writer in
speaking of the report that Congress
man Lindbergh, might get into the
gubernatorial race, says that if he
does get in, there will be shaking
up of the animals" Well, we don't
know of a state where the political
animals need shaking up more than
right here in Minnesota.-Albert Lea
Tribune.
Now that the Federal government
has taken hand in enacting laws for
the protection of migratory birds, it
would seem that Minnesota and other
states could save lot of money by
stepping aside and letting Uncle Sam
do thrown Valley Tribune.
The Saltwater Gazette thinks it is
treason to Minnesota for Senator
Clapp to buy Maryland farm when
he could have done so much better in
the state that has done so much for
him. If not treason, it certainly was
devilish poor business Judgment st.
Cloud Times.
Nobody expects that the time will
ever come when there will be no state
taxes, but we have right to expect
that they will be quite materially less.
Common sense economy can bring
that about Madison Independent
Press.
Thirty of the best business men in
the state have already discovered that
they have an almost impossible task
before them in recognizing the state
departments in order to "save money"
And yet there are several newspaper
men throughout the state who claim
to know all about it.-Dassel Anchor.
Minnesota's magnificent school fund
could be made to serve double pur-
pose in the upbuilding of our state, If
all that which is now invested IN for
eign low interest bearing bonds should
be recalled and put out direct to the
rural communities in gilt-edge farm
loans. Lower interest rates is the first
essential in improving country life and
