would be able to market their pro-

rainy days when they cannot work on
the farms. It would permit of the
use of heavy trucks so that stock
might be taken to the packing houses
instead of being held up for lack of
cars until the market has declined.
It was very fortunate for the farm
ers that there were enough delegates
in the convention from the smaller
towns to prevent the adoption of
such a report. Resolutions were
adopted favoring the amendment,
but these forces sought to cloud and
obscure the proposition by carrying
the idea that it carried with it bond
issues when such is not the case.
Every newspaperman is in favor of
improved highways. He realizes
that the development of the rural
districts depends upon better roads
and that unless the farmer is given

Now comes Judge Brady of Hib-
bling with straight Jail sentence for
white mule" loaded o. jaggy joy
riding automobile speeders. The
Judge has the proper bunch. A fine
is nothing just nov when people are
reeking with money but a month or
two or three in Jail will cause some
of this class of irresponsible murder
ers to think and thinking will cure
them of the habit. The judge also
advocates the separation of the cul-
prit from his car by legal force. A
drunken man at the wheel of a high
powered machine is more dangerous
to the innocent bystander or general
public than a nan running amuck
with a gun and should be taken out
of circulation for an extended period.
Several of the Mesaba range towns
have started a var on the speed kings
and the results will soon be notice
able. The incongruity in the law
whereby a man with a gun is consid,
cred a dangerous character and car
be arrested and held, while the fel.
low with the auto who runs wild is
only guilty of a misdemeanor anG
subject to a light fine, is altogether
wrong and should be remedied. In
several of the towns the police have
been instructed to arrest the drunken
driver before he gets into the cal
and thus by anticipation preventing
suicide or murder. All judges anG
justices in the range towns r MOI
as Americanly constituted as i.
Judge Brady of Hibbing and the
Chisholm judge. Some look at tn.
man who is arrested. If by chanc,
some fellow not in touch with tn,
political affiliations of the officer il
brought in, he is at once soaked M

the vote-sure fellow of the prolet
ariat is allowed to go, with a repri
mand for the police who made tn,
arrest, and a general discourse on tn,

quence, the police have made M
special efforts to bring in this clas
of offenders.

The New York opposition to the
Duluth-to-the-ocean waterway prop
osition is not based on anything
more than pure selfishness on the
part of New York which cannot see
anything but itself in which to ex-
pend the government funds. AS it
will cost something to accomplish the
plan as outlined by Duluth and the
western states, New York sees money
being spent outside of it's immediate
control, hence the opposition. AS
New York has been the chief getter

The potato peelers have formed q

was probably born in the army where
K. P. duty forced the boys to make it
snappy. The earnings Of the peeler
compare with those of the higher
arts such as professor, bank presi-
dent, etc. The peelers of Chicago
are demanding Sc and three meals a
day, and time and a half for over
time. Ask any of the returned
veterans and they will tell you that
the salary is altogether too small
even at the present inflated figures.

Swimming.

1t has been well said that each and
every person should be able to swim
especially where Nature has provided
natural facilities such as we enjoy
here. Not only is it possible to learn
to swim but to become familiar
enough with the water so as to feel
more or less at home in it. In our
locality we find the boy and girl
taking special advantage of these
splendid opportunities during the
summer months. However, there is
always the younger boy who at first
hesitates to go into the water. It
is especially for him that a swimming
class is conducted at Sandy Point
during the early part of the after
noon. Here the different strokes are
taught and helpful suggestions given
showing how one can best take care

Frankly and candidly, we are much
surprised at the opposition that is
being put forward to Amendment
No. One, which is the Babcock plan
for h~ard-surfaced highways in Min
nesota says the Winnebago Enter
prise. Many have become obsessed
with the idea that the Babcock plan
will greatly increase their real es-
tate taxes, which is not true. The
hard-surfaced roads will be built
from funds received by taxation on
all automobiles and other motor
vehicles, and the owners of these
machines will more than save their
tax on their repair bills, not to men,
ton the bills for oil, tires, etc. If
Minnesota needs any one thing today,
that n outstanding thing is an ad-
equate system of highways. Let's
pull the state out of the mud!
