The Open Forum
SAY IT NOW.

When will relatives and friends Of
those who have walked almost the entire
length of the Avenue of Life, learn that
a little word of love and appreciation
in the newspaper now, means much to
them, and long obituary after they have
passed away means absolutely nothing?
Some item of interest could be written
OF almost every elderly person in the COM
munity, but no one mentions it to the
editors Of the local papers until after the
old father or. mother has gone. Then
comes yard-long obituary, citing the
virtues, the interesting happenings of a
lifetime and the respect and love of
friends. It's all absolutely useless then,
merely balm to the feelings and sop
to the vanity of those left behind, and
carrying no whit of love or honor to the
one gone. LET something good be
said'' while he of whom it is said can
still listen. "A rose to the living is
more" than a whole column of eulogy
to the dead. Don't hoard your treasure
OF love and praise; use it before it is too
late.-Redwood Falls Gazette.

STORY OF WASTEBASKET
MIGHT CAUSE TROJJRT

The st. James Plaindealer tells of all
the things that might happen if the
editor should turn the contents of his
waste paper-basket upside down and
PRINT all that has been consigned there
to. Here is what the paper says:
III a newspaper should some dav
print the contents of it's waste paper
basket there would probably be riot
There would certainly be trouble in
many homes, arrests in many directions.A
shot-guns in another, trouble all around.
But the patron never sees the waste
basket, he only glances at the beautifully
printed page and complains if one letter
IS upside down, growls if one name hap
pens to be wrong, kicks because his
communication signed Taxpayer
has been condensed into respectable
English, frowns because the editor did
not take his advice about publicly telling
their neighbors of their shortcomings
and is generally disg1untled. He knows
his share OF the waste basket, but if he
could look at the contributions to that
receptacle he would be thankful for the
existence of man with intelligence and
courage enough not to print all he knows
and to temper that which he does print

SAVE THE LAKES.

The Hutchinson Leader pays it's re-
spects to the ruthless draining of the
lakes OF Minnesota, and the same time
gives the flood control movement a
boost, as follows:
" Flood control is to take the place
of drainage. There is need of checking
the craze for indiscrimjnate drainage of
every lake in the country. The lakes
should be protected from drainage, their
levels established and maintained, on ac-
count of their value in identifying the
landscape, for summer resorts, as sources
of water and ice supply, and for their
value in furnishing an enormous addition
to the food supply. There are lakes in
Minnesota today that are yielding more
returns in fish than the same acreage Of
land yields in crops.'''

Legislature Is Warned

Many of the state papers have already
warned the members of the Minnesota
legislature, to let that body keep it's
hands off of all the bills proposing to elect
the members OF the Board of Regents
of the University of Minnesota. That
the bill is entirely wrong is pretty we'll
agreed among those who have given it
serious thought.
There is politics enough in the uni
versity now, without making matters
worse. The proposal calls for one regent
from each congressional district, and
with a salary attachment there would be
glorious scramble, and the fellow of
the best vote-getting qualities would be
holding down the regentship which
should go to better man. Under the
present plan there is no salary and the
regents are men are who willing and
anxious to serve for the good they are
able to render the state. The honor
afforded these men is considered suffici-
ficient compensation for membership
on the board. The men to whom is now
entrusted the management Of the uni
versity would spurn salary-they are of

League To Enforce Peace

Whatever may. be the result of the
outcome of President Wilson's recent
speech to the Senate in which he hoped
to hasten the day of peace between the
warning nations, the sublime purpose of
the President is to be commended by all
people, regardless of creed or party. II
President Wilson is able to shorten the
war even for one day his action is certain
ly worth the effect.
There are, however, many men OF
good judgment, sincere, and extremely
anxious to see the terrible conflict which
has been raging for two-and-a-half years,
brought to speedy close, who feel that
the end of the war without victory will
not be lasting and that any action taken
now to enforce peace would be little
more than a farce. At least that it
would be but temporary cessation OF
hostilities. 49,
William M. Reedy, editor of Reedy's
Mirror discussing the question OF enforc-
ed peace says that the advocates of trade
war who object to shot-and-shell wars are
like people who think they can take
prusic acid and live to tell about it.
There is something, he says, delicious
ly idiotic in this country's going into a
League Of Peace under the aegis of the
British navy, as a sort of PARASITE on
Great Britain, to use word descriptive
of our neutrality up to the present time.
''Why not work for a world with no
toll-gates on the routes of trader asks
Mr.. Reedy. "Then we should need no
forts and warships. At least we would get
rid of what all are agreed is the chief
cause of war-the economic conflict
that intensifies nationalism into mad
ness"
The President has voiced an exalted
aspiration in council of perfection.
We may doubt the possibility of it's reali-
zation, but we can at least turn toward
the ideal and with him follow the CLEAN.

North state editors do not want a
paper mill owned by the publishers Of
operated by the state. Neither do those
in southern Minnesota if they can secure
fair deal without, but they will build a
paper mill rather than submit to six and

however, that break in price is on the
way, and we hope that it is not a false

Another Stranger Disappointed

New Ulm's most outstanding short
coming was emphasized one day last
week. A gentleman who had come to
make New Ulm his home, complained
because he had been unable to find the
''public library
II travelled over the main part of the
town last evening trying to find the
public library" he said, the next day.
81 thought would like to pass couple
of hours reading, and as am interested
in some research work was very anx-
ious to look up some books on the SUBJ
ject in which I am working. Where is
it, any way?'
When informed that there is no
public library in New Ulm, he expressed
establishment.
'You don't mean to tell me that as
thriving and prosperous town as New
Ulm, with a population of 1000 inhabi-
tants is without public library?" he
inquired.
*'That's the size of it," humbly con-
fessed the citizen. ooh, yes there
is library" he made haste to ex-
plain, ''but it's up at the high school;
it's only open during school hours, how
eve". If you want to read you can go
up there at any time between a.. M,
and 5 p. M, on any school day and do
quite lot of reading"
''That may be all right for the school
children, or for an occasional person
who has nothing else to do, but I fail
to see where or how it helps out the per-
son who has anything else to do. On
the square, this is the first time that
ever heard of town of any where near
the size of New Ulm that didn't have
a public library, and it is very seldom
that they haven't good one."
The fact that similar expressions are
heard almost daily has tendency to
get on the nerves of those New Ulm
citizens who are anxious that the city be
as up-to-date at least as such villages as
Nicollet and others of similar size.
