BEDE PLEADS
FOR SYMPATHY
Legion Presents Ex-con-
gresham HumOrist in
Lyceum Course.
PROBLEM OF PROGRESS

Sympathy-individual, national, in
ternational-w the keynote for pres
ent day problems offered by j. Adam
Bede, former Minnesota congressman
and Redpath Lyceum Bureau speaker,
in his talk under the auspices of the
American Legion at the Coliseum on
Friday night. Mr.. Bede known as the
humorist of the lower house of the
national congress, justified his soubri-
quet by his semi-comic comment on
"Our Nation: It's Problems and Pro-
gress." He was humorous but the
humor was sugar-coating on pertinent
truths which must be faced by every
person in the United States. Prob
ably many Of his audience were more
occupied storing treasured quips for
future use but withal each departed
with clearer knowledge Of the prob
lens which must be faced and their
solutions as offered by a man who has
lived through period Of many
changes. Perhaps his hearers did not
agree but they were forced to admit
the solutions sounded most plausible
and desirable when presented by the
man who admitted that he could shave
the whole world fixed up in a short
while if time would permit"
Adam Bede looked just what he is
typical American who has progressed
step by step from the ranks fighting
for the ideals for which he believes.
He was born and raised on farm and
when not otherwise engaged as a law
maker or speaker still is engaged in
the occupation Of farming. He was at
one time editor of an obscure country
newspaper. He first became promin-
ent as humorist when, after refus-
ing the nomination for vice presi-
dent offered him by one of the great
political parties, he wrote humorously
about it. He has travelled extensively
and has come in contact with the
prominent men of several political
periods so that his views combine
careful study of the situations
Of many years.
10O,00O,O0O People Must be Happy.
"The real problem of readjustment,' .
said Mr.. Bede, sis how 100,000,O00 peo-
I pie can get along with the most hap
piness. That problem includes every
other problem. There has been a
great transformation in the last
seventy-fve years. Articles which were
considered luxurious then are absolute
necessities now There have been
great inventions, each new invention
making new millionaire. The work
formerly done entirely by one indi-
vidual is now divided among many in
dividuals. Each new advance brings its
problems but who would exchange the
progress and problems of the present
day for the conditions Of the past?
i "But the time has come when the
millionaire must think of the toiler;
when the city chap must think of the
farmer; when one class must think OF
every other class. We must Ameri.
canize thought; we must stop thinking
in local units and think in units OF
nation and continent. Ninety per cent
Of the problems Of today are due to
progress; the other ten per cent are
due to ignorance and prejudice. We
must take ignorance from the minds
and prejudice from the hearts of men
to secure a permanent solution. Ii

cident, the victim had been unable to
breathe and had only been restored
from suspended respiration after long
periods of prolonged artificial breath
ing. One of these periods lasted 35
minutes and another was almost as
long. The same methods were at
tempted to restore respiration Thurs
day evening, but were Intellectual.
