SWAT THE GUM

Girls, what are you going to do
when the law prohibits your
chewing gum? Can't be done,
eh? Well, maybe not, but there's
a crowd on the war path against
gum chewing, just the same, and
they promise campaign for
the reformation of gumchewers
that will make the country howl.
We never seem to realize what
horrible habits we are addicted to
until these reformers of personal
preferences get into the open in
their war paint and begin to
hurl their javlins Of scorn at us.
Then, unless we fall for their line
Of talk right off the reel, they tell
US we are a hide-bound, stiff
necked generation of degener-
ates. Gee! It's awful! Profess
sor Herbert Gardner Lord, who
is supposed to fill the chair Of psy-
chology at Columbia university,
is the boss crusader against the
gum habit. He claims that a
man who dissipates his energy in
gum-chewing is wasting enough
horsepower to make him presi-
dent Of the United States or
something else equally as desir-
able. As for women, the wasted
energy of wagging jaws is sufh-
cient to win the suffrage cause,
drive out the demon rum and
elect Mrs. DIR. Anna Shaw to the
presidency of the National league.
Some of these days these re-
formers are going to succeed,
really stopping something the
people want, and then an OUT
ragged populace will rise up in its
might and cast forth the whole
kit and kaboodle of them into
eternal darkness.

The Rush City Post reports
that there have been eleven
robberies in Chisago county since
Jan. /, with only one arrest made.
1t goes on to say that neighbor-
ing towns it seems are not even
provided with night watchmen,
and these robbers find it an easy
matter to carry on thefts un-
molested. Every town should be
provided with a night watchman
constantly on the job, and the
ready assistance at hand of help
from other citizens in case of
need. Pine City is among the
latest to be victimized, several
thefts being made at business
places a few nights since. The
fact that so few arrests are being
made will only encourage this
sort of crime in our villages, until
we will soon get to a point when
no business place or private resi-
dence will be safe from thieves.
The easy means of transportation
by autos makes discovery and
arrest difficult and provision for
this condition should be made.
Since these gangs are making
systematic raids police protection
should be made an issue to deal
with in every town and the
officers on duty should be assisted
in hunting these criminals down.
In giving a write-up on the
Kanabec County Fair which was
recently held at Mora, the Kane
bee County Times has the follow
ing to say about James J. Hill
who was the principal speaker:
James J. Hills address on Thurs
day afternoon was one OF the
big features of the fair. Mr.. Hill
| is a man of national reputation
and naturally his presence created
much interest. He arrived short
lily after noon in a special train
accompanied by Mr.. Smith, the
empire builders agricultural
Iexpert. Upon entering the
grounds Mr.. Hill made a thorough
inspection of all exhibits and
