The National Association of the
Deaf is again attempting to rid the
public of fake beggars, who operate
under the guise of being deaf. Bull
letins are being. sent out by the asso-
citation, calling attention to the
number Of able bodied mendicants,
too lazy to earn a living, who solicit
aims by masquerading as being deaf
and dumb. The association also
states that the deaf never beg. If
this is true. and it certainly comes
from a reliable source, there are very
few in this nation who have not at
some time or other contributed to
the support of some worthless vag-
rant under the impression that the
contribution was going to an unfor-
tunate who really needed it. AS a
general rule these fake beggars have
the physique of ''white hope,'' and
being too lazy to work, and too
cowardly to steal, they play upon
the sympathy of the public for a
living.

is contained in report recently
submitted to congress by the sub
committee ON mines and mining
Conditions generally are scoreds and
many of the mine operators are
severely criticized. And yet the coal
barons had the transcendent 1mpu-
dence to flood the country with bull
]etins in which the unfortunate
toilers in the mines were depicted
as being brazenly presumptuous for
asking that conditions be bettered.
John D. Rockefeller Jr., is also
scored, and the committee declares
that he did nothing to improve con-
ditions of the employees of the com.
pany in which he is stakeholder
and director. The younger Rookie
Teller bids fair to develop into the
same kind of q pious fraud as his

Governor W. S. Hammond signed
the county option bill last Monday
afternoon, and this measure is now
a law. The passage of this bill re-
moves from Minnesota politics an
issue that has been stumbling block
in the path of more than one aspir-
ant for political honors, while for
others it has made the going eX-
tremely easy. It is estimated that
it's effect upon the state will be to
place approximately fifty counties in
the ''dry" column, and probably
more. While this issue has been dis
posed of, it is not probable that the
"dry" agitation is at an end.
Statewide prohibition will now be-
come the bone of contention, and
the county option question will
scarcely be missed. :,
