An Opportunity

There is the virtue of being farsight-
ed, being able to see into the future
and plan for it; and there is the
opposite, the error of vision which
overlooks the advantages at hand.
We refer more particularly just now
to the spasmodic efforts which most
every town Of this size makes to Sc.
cure a factory or some other large
industry to boom" the place. River
Falls has had this malady, off and
on, for many years, and some of our
neighboring cities have gone so far
as to actually land an enterprise Or
two, even getting to the point Of
building and in one case operating,
for short time, the industry. But
most generally the object sought is
too big proposition for the locality
to handle and after few spasmodic
commissions, all is over. Now we
have, right here in River Falls, an
opportunity to hold onto-which is
better than the opportunity to angle
after-an industry that would bring

but bearing marginal notes in writ
ing; there is much misunderstanding
regarding the parcel post-in fact,
every mail brings evidence of care
lessness, dishonesty or ignorance re-
garding the postal rules. 1t is sur
prising the number of people who
leave off the return directions, and
the evidence of illegible addresses
would almost convict this community
Of illiteracy. River Falls is no ex-
ception to the general run-but it
should be; this city's high moral and
educational standard should make it
an exception on the credit side.
Recently the local postoffice dis
tributed to patrons 1914 pamphlet
which explains postal rules. The
rates given therein are not up to
date, but the purpose of this distri-
button was to give information con-
corning the classification of mail,
and the rules that govern this CLASH
fication. We recommend thorough
study Of that phase Of it.

still Needed

The Council of Defense system
has represented the people Of the
United States in Washington and
has carried through to the smallest
community the problems and mea-
sures Of the national government
during the war. 1t was not original
" intended to continue the state
organization after the armistice was
signed, however, many problems are
now found which require careful
neutrality-suspicious. in which the
cooperation Of the people through
out the United States is absolutely
necessary. There is the problem of
Americanization, the problem OF
unemployment, the transference Of
the SGT, 900, 100000 war insurance to
a peace basis-in short it is no less
imperative to meet the problems Of
reimbursement than it was to prepare
for war. For that reason Mr..
Clarkson, Director of the Council.
has agreed to continue in office and
has suggested that a special non
partisan, non-sectarian bureau or
commission be established in each
state to draw from the council Of
defense system already created those
dividends for peace which the war
effort of the nation has entitled it to
receive.

this city a mighty big amount of
cash. We refer to tie Brown Lad
der Co. This is not an advertise
ment, and we will not go into the
matter of the merits of the ladder.
But to our way of thinking, the
Commercial Club of River Falls ought
to get busy right away-this week
and secure this concern for River
Falls. The proposition is not one. of
offering big bonuses for the erection
and maintenance of a monster fac
tory here, nor is it in any manner a
boomer" investment scheme. The
proposition is just this-local money
can be making a big interest by an
at home investment. And if River
Falls doesn't want it, it will go else
where, for there are many substan-
tial bids for it. Get busy.

Postal Rules

A brief term of observation at the
local postoffice will convince anyone
that a study of postal rules is
universally needed, and suggestion
that the subject be given attention
in the schools is not a bit out of
place. There are no exceptions in
the classification of people who
violate the postal rules, and there
are few, if any. of the rules Of the
postal service which are not violated.
1t is almost a daily occurrence that
letter, known to weigh over an
ounce, is posted with an additional
one cent stamp" to cover the extra
weight" there are dozens Of news
papers. etc., mailed as third class

High School Notes

Our basket ball team will meet the
Ellsworth team at Ellsworth Thurs
day night of this week.
An unusually large number of
visitors were present at our last
Literary program, and everybody
thoroughly enjoyed it. The pro-
gram was not only rendered well,
but highly interesting and instruct
ing. It also enabled us to see how
fiuently the French students speak
the language.
TIE debate teams have been work
ing particularly hard this week.
Last Monday night both teams met
at the home of Miss Marguerite
Smith to become better acquainted
with the arguments and to obtain
rebuttals. All was not work, how
ever, for Miss Smith pleasantly sur
prised her pupils by giving them
dellgntful lunch. tuesday night the
preliminary debate was held, and we
wish to take this opportunity to
thank those who attended it and
gave such helpful suggestions. The
debate proper will be given Friday
evening February %, at eight clock
in the high school assembly room,
when our affirmative team will meet
the negative team from Hudson.
The judges are: Mr.. L Cox of Ham
line. Mr.. Ralston of Humboldt High
School Of St. Paul, and third is from
the McPhail School Of Oratory of
Minneapolis. Everybody is request
ed to attend and hear a good debate
on real, live subject.

COODINC WILL
BE CANDIDATE

BOISE, Sept. 13.-Ex-Governor
Frank r. Gooding has served formal
notice not only on the members of
his own party, the republican, but
on the electors at large that he will
be in the race for United States
senator to take the seat now held by
Senator John F. Nugent, democrat.
While Mr. Gooding does not say so,
the announcement is made early to
correct reports that because of recent
illness he might not make the race
and will no doubt act as a warning
to others who aspire to wear the
toga. 1t is well known to party
leaders that Mr.. Gooding claims the
first right to the republican nomi-
nation.
Coming at this time Mr.. Gooding's
statement is credited with more than
passing significance While return
ing to Idaho from Washington, where
he was sent to assist in advancing
the Mondell bill to reclaim lands for
soldiers and sailors who have been
in the service, Mr.. Gooding was TAX
en- ill and had to be removed from
the train and rushed to Rochester,
Mimi, where he entered the Mayo
hospital and was operated upon very
successfully. Soon after this hap
pened reports began to appear in
political circles in his home state
that because of his illness Mr.. Good
ing would not likely enter politics
again. To those who believed these
reports there was some surprise
when Mr.. Gooding appeared in Boise
torial aspirant. He Immediately gave
q tot no
of his health would permit him to
be an active candidate for United
States senator.
Health is Improving.
"My health is improving" he said,
"and l feel strong. / am gaining
strength tvery day so there is moth
ing to prevent me from becoming an
active candidate. 1t is a duty |
owe my friends who stood be me
in the last campaign"
However, it is said to be apparent
that Mr.. Gooding is not to be alone
in his aspirations. AS far as the
democratic party is concerned it
seems to be taken for granted that
Senator Nugent will be renominated
and very likely without opposition.
The Hawley faction which was op-
posed TO hlm, but failed to show
strength enough to defeat him, will
likely not make a fight against him
at the next election. Captain +. G..
Davis, who ran for the republican
gubernatorial nomination, but failed
to muster sufficient strength to land
it, will likely get into the running
for senator.
.Ailshie Will Not Enter Race.
James F. Ailshie of Coeur d'Alent
who was one of Gooding's opponents
for the nomination prior to the las
election, is also spoken of, but the
friends of the former chief justice o.
the supreme court assert that he will
likely not enter the race if Goodinl
is running. If he does not Goodinl
will be given the support of the wins
of the republican party in the nortl
which counts for much.
Congressman Burton L. Frencl
of Moscow is not considered candi
date. In fact, his close politica
friend and adviser in matters of thi
kind, William Lee of Moscow, ha
given out a statement which part
leaders claim is conclusive tha
French will not enter the race.
