Y. w. c. A. SWIMMING POOL
OPENS llFE-SAVING GLASS
Those Who Can Only Swim Little
May BE Trained in Art of Life
Saving and Reconciliation

In recent publication OF the Red
cross Magazine an article appeared
bearing the title. The Beach Guard on
First AID" written by Charles Phelps
Gushing. in which he gives some very
timely instruction regarding life saw
ing and the art Of swimming.
In the article MIR. Cushing dwells
largely on the fact that each individ
ual should be able to swim, and not
only swim. but learn the rudiments OF
lie saving in order to insure the les
SEEMING OF the loss OF life from drown
ing. as he contends that one may
know little about swimming, but, IL
instructed in life saving and few OF
its rules, the saving of a life may be
matter largely dependent on good
Judgment.
AS many thousands go TO the beaches
In summer ii would be we'll for every
one to acQuaint themselves with the
various breaking Of holds and methods
or towing necessary In life-savinK. as
there are few persons who are in
the water much but may be called upon
to give some first aid" to a fellow
swimmer.
Various life-saving corps have been
'organized in the United States in con-
nection with first aid to the injured"
and, during the recent classes in FIRST
aid at the 7. w. c. A, life-saving cx-
hibitions were given in conjunction
with the instructions received. This
branch OF swimming is also being
taught at the Y. w. c. A, and with IL
the various methods Of artificial res
piration, which are not only beneficial
Tor drowning people. but for various
forms Of asphyxiation from gases and
smoke.
To quote from Mr.. Cushing's article:
The art OF swimming should be made
the part OF the education OF every boy
and girl. 1t is not enough to know
how TO swim few strokes. One
should at least be able to swim for a
few moments while dressed BY n lit
tie timely instruction people who can
swim may become life savers. and with
training very efficient ones. 1 don't
mean to say that life saving is neces-
sarily hard. but most folks never learn
the how OF it"

invincible battle-ships, militarism and
war can be said to be synonymous
| terms.
Seventy-fve per cent of the worlds
revenues, even in times Of peace have
ben devoted to preparation for the
destruction of human life and prop
erty.
This war has shown the supreme
folly of draining nations dry of their
resources for means to destroy human
life instead of devoting them to means
of life betterment and on the terms
of universal peace that will follow
this universal war will be the univer-
sal disarmament of the armies and
navies of the world except those
needed for internal police service.
The men of the future will make and
ship to the worlds market places, in
stead of destroying the worlds pro-
auctions and markets, they will fill
the earth's stomach instead of en-
deavoring to cut its heart out.
One-fourth of the worlds fruits and

making of drinkables that hurt in
stead of eatables that help. The war
cannot be won with this food waste
existant. Every bushel of grain
swallowed in liquid form in time of
war sacrifices the life of a soldier
and delays the advent of peace. 1t is
impossible that this will be permitted
indefinitely. The drink traffic once
throttled by war will never come to
life again and dawn of peace will
usher in a saloonless world.
All these reforms that will follow
the war could have been and should
have been brought about by peaceful
evolution but all great redemptionary
movements have sprung out of the
red caldron of war. Why this is so
we know not, we only know that such
is the fact and this war will prove no
exception to the rule universal.

KNUTE NELSON.

The city papers take it for granted
that Knute Nelson will retire at the
close of his present term and already
busy naming his successor.
This strikes use little premature
1t reminds US of the lady who planned
to buy an automobile with her hus'
bands life insurance money while hi
was yet alive and well.
1t is true that Senator Nelson will
be 76 years old at the close of his
pre-. e1t term, bu: is also tr'le that Sc
magnificent is his physique, so regu'
lar his habits and so rugged his Vik'
ing-inherited constitution that, at the
present time, he is younger both
physically and mentally than most
men at fifty-fve or sixty.
There is no doubt but that person.
ally Senator Nelson desires to retire
to private life and under ordinary
circumstances his wishes should be
respected and he should be permitted
to spend the rest of his days in a well
plexities of public life and service
but these are not ordinary times and
existing conditions demand that priv
ate inclinations yield to public welfare
and Senator Nelson has never failed
to come across when duty called.
He is one of the most valuable if
not the most valuable man in the
United States Senate.
He is one of the few men left in
that body who has had a military ex-
perience in time of war. He knows
what war is and how it should be
conducted.
His knowledge of international law
is most profound and he is regarded
by his colleagues as highest authority
on the subject.
He is absolutely fearless, and while
a strong party man, in matters of
national import and welfare he knows
no partisanship.
Foreign born, he realizes what AM
erica has done for him and he is in
tensely American in thought and
action.
He holds the public confidence as
no other man holds it; the people
have absolute faith in his integrity
and perfect trust in his judgment;
he is a bulkwark of national strength
in these troubulous times.
Next year when the time comes to
select and elect a United States Sem
ator if conditions are as they are now
the united voice of Minnesota will
demand his return and not other cam
didate should be mentioned and should
the situation return to the normal be-
fore his next term expires he can re-
sign and return to the privacy of his
farm he so much Graves.
Just now it would approach ma
tional calamity to have him surrender
his post.

LEADERS LACKING.

In every crisis through which this
nation has passed in former periods
great leaders have developed, OF
rather they were already developed
and the critical situation brought
their leadership qualifications to the
front.
Today we are in the midst of a
great crisis, the elimination of four
years of national and international
kaleidoscope change and we are
without leaders that can command and
hold the confidence of the people OF
who can create among their following
spontaneous enthusiasm, unanimous
action or united support.
When we think of our present war
governor, in connection with Alex
ander Ramsey, the war Governor of
1861, Frank Lowden of Illinois with
fighting Dick Yates; Hiram Johnson
Of California, with James Baker
senator from that state at the begin
ming Of the civil war; Senator Weeks
of Massachusetts, with Charles Sum-
ner or compare Woodrow Wilson
with Abraham Lincoln, the most OBJ
fuse can understand that today we
have no great leaders among our pub
lie men who can draw the people to
them and inspire the populace to
mighty deeds and heroic sacrifices as
we had in the days of the civil war.
The reason for this is not far to
seek. In those days the people not
only elected, but they also selected
their candidates after mutual consul
tation and mature deliberations; NOM
nations always represented a party
majority; merit was not compelled to
sound it's own praises and it was pos
sible to draft ability.
Under our present system candi-
dates are not selected by the people
but they select themselves, they must
make the initiative filing, they are not
called but they come running of
their own accord and the,ones with the
most presumption and gall are usually
the most successful.
Alexander Ramsey would never
have been Governor of Minnesota
had he been compelled to offer him
self as a candidate for office.
Charles Sumner would never have
been United States Senator had he
been required to hawk his own quail
fications for the office like huckster
selling patent medicines on the street
corner.
Abraham Lincoln would never have
been President il the pre-convention
essentials had been for him to travel
the length and breadth Of the land
proclaiming to the people how much
smarter he was than the other men
who inspired to the same position.
Unless the wisdom Of our people
can devise some scheme whereby they
can select their own candidates after
thoughtful consultation, and deliberat-

WANTERS VS.. WANTED.


suggests the name of a we'll known
Minnesotaian, a man of unquestioned
ability, wide experience, remarkable
attachments and Improbable charac-
ter, one that would be an honor to the
state and a credit to his constituency
as candidate for Governor.
Another paper, equally prominent,
comes back with this statement that
the gentleman mentioned does not de-
sire to be Governor.
1t seems to US that the men who
have felt long felt want to be
Governors do not always make the
best executives.
The best Governors this state ever
had were not crazy for the office OF
particularly anxious to make the race
but virtually had to be drafted by
their party before they would consent
This is the common history of all
the states and the rule is not confined
to the office of Governor but holds to
all official positions.
A man who is willing to organize a
bureau" at an enormous expense, to
subsidize newspapers, keep the pa
tronage under his control on the
bargain counter, to gallivate through
the length and breadth Of the land
self-proclaiming his own excellencies,
and hire spouters to ballyho his vir-
tues generally conducts the office, af-
ter his election, along the lines of self
gloriication and self-interest. He ma.
turally feels that inasmuch as he has
bought and paid for the office it is his
personal property to do with as he
pleases. He bestows the patronage
at his disposal, which he regards as
his personal prerogative, the same as
his salary, among his own, or his
wife's relatives, personal friends OF
uses it in payment of political obliga-
lions and makes of his appointees per-
sonal retainers instead of public SER
wants.
Men who want office as shark
wants blood, want to hold the office
after they get it even to a greater
extent than they desired it in first
place. Once in possession they devote
all their energies to holding posses
sion.
They take for their watchword, Ad-
ministration for reelection instead OF
administration for the people. They

and THINGS

~ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Its Curious
The less morality people possess
the easier they are shocked.
A Fact.
If the men of America weer as loyal
as the women, inside of sixty days the
Kaiser would be standing on his he'll
met and waving his war-booted feet
in the air as signal of distress.
1t Is Commonplace.
Whenever a man says, writes or
does anything that satisfies every
body he can make up his mind that
it is mighty mediocre.
For A Different Reason.
A dog wags his tial because he is
pleased but woman wags her tongue
for a different reason.
=
What Restraints Them.
Public opinion is the only thing that
keeps many a man from being a
criminal.
The Only Difference.
A great many times the only diff
ference between the policeman and
the criminal he arrests is uniform.
Is Too Old.
Any man who would not willingly
die for his country, if need there was,
has already lived too long.
A Short Journey.
If you always pay as you go you
won't go very far.
Their Pleasure.
The fellows that are broke like to
think the other fellows money is
tainte
-
Similar In Meaning.
A ring on the middle finger of a
girls hand and a ring on a pigs
snout both signify that they belong
to somebody besides themselves.
A Fact.
Genuine loyalty is never based on a
cash consideration.
A Great Discoverer.
1t takes a woman to discover tai
ent in boy; especially if it is her boy.
A Mistaken Idea.
If you think talk is cheap, try hir-
ing lawyer to plead your case in
court.
A Cheap Messenger. -.
The cheapest messenger in the
world is a newspaper advertisement.
Cost Of Unlearning.
1t costs whole lot more to unlearn
hurtful knowledge than it does to ac-
quire useful information.
1t Never Happens.
No man ever fell in love with a
girl because she could speak and
write the dead languages.
Different Motives.
Men save up money for rainy day
and women save up money to buy
silk stockings for a rainy day.
Sure Signs Of Trouble.
Two pigs and one ear of corn, two
kids and one apple, two girls and
one fellow.
