The hard graveled roads of the
Vermilion Range are generally known
to be some of the best roads in the
state. But regardless of their COM
parative efficiency the unusual rain
fall of the past month has proved
that these roads at their best are an
expensive proposition. Every tourist
and automobile owner on the range
has seen that heavy rains will make
the best of these roads source of
despair to his tires. After he has
had a few blowouts on the sharp
rocks laid bare by the rains and he
has gotten down on his hands and
knees to change tires in a cloud of
mosquitoes and profanity he begins
to realize that the efficiency of these
roads depends on the weather.
When the general election rolls
around in November the roads will
be buried under the snow. But it
is fortunate in way that the season
preceding it has especially empha-
sized the inadequacies of the present
system and has impressed us with
the necessity of voting for Amend
ment number one, which will give
US permanent wear and weather
proof roads. The adoption of the
Babcock amendment, as Amendment
number one is commonly called, will
place Minnesota in a class by itself
with permanent roads and it will not
be accompanied by any increase in
the tax levy. There is of course
certain opposition to the amendment.
But after all, the opposition is limited
chiefly to that type of native of
other parts of the state whose "poit-
ical economy" might well be and
generally is expressed as follows
"Wal, we want to build a new school
house, and we want to use the
material from the old schoolhouse
in the new schoolhouse. But we
don't want to tear the old one down
until the new one is finished. Re-
member Amendment number one in
November.

1t is a tribute to the patriotism

1t is a tribute to the patriotism
of the American people that in the
national crisis of 1916 they did not
NEEDLE with third party. Now
that the smoke of battle has lifted,
however, and the individual reformer
again hears the call for his wisdom,
his diagnosis, and his remedy for the
national ills, the third party idea has
bloomed again, prolific in its fruitage
and flowers and, no doubt, perennial.
The postwar situation despite its
changes gives no promise that it will
necessitate revision of that wee bit
of philosophy which someone or other
spoke several years-or was it
centuries ago to the effect that full
many a flower is born to blush un-
seen and waste its fragrance on the
desert air.
After all the victims of the third
party bunch got together in Chicago
two weeks ago, one group of them
nominated a candidate from Salt
Lake City. His name is unimpor-
tant-if we ever noticed it-for to
our knowledge there was no ringing
of bells or day of Thanksgiving.
Nor did any one pause in his labor to
ask SIS this the Christi" There
always were, always will be, two
great parties. On the really great
questions and issues they will stand
opposed. Those issues upon which
they agree inevitably are promptly
settled to the satisfaction of the ma
ton and dismissed. The question of
the League of Nations, which might
much better be called the question
of the abandonment of the Monroe
Doctrine is the biggest issue between
the two parties today. Their ability
to make an issue of matter of such
transcendent Importance is the proof
of their service to the nation. In
the meantime the demagogue, and the
medicine man forms third party
because his mind grasps only one
idea. 1t may be the single tax, the
six hour day, the prohibition law, or
the state owned what not. They
were all there at the recent conven-
ton at Chicago with the result that
they broke up and there will be a new
party for each "idea', Every zone
idea" voter will have his candidate.
Senator Harding may well congrat-
ulate himself in advance that he will
be elected by voters whose minds are
not confined to one idea.

While it is hardly proper to an
ticipate court action in advance of
the Judges findings, the political
future and standing of Rev. 0. j.
Kvale, who distanced A. j. Volsted
for the Republican congressional
nomination in the Seventh district is
receiving considerable attention just
now. 1t looks very much as if Rev.
Kvale was up against it, though Judge
Albert Johnson, who presided at the
contest, instituted by Congressman
Volsted, has not yet rendered de-
cision. Rev. Kvale was charged with
violating the corrupt practices act in
that he maligned his rival to the ex-
tent of questioning his belief in a
Supreme being and if the court rules
against him the certificate of election
will be given to Volsted even though
the voters of the district decided upon
Rev. Kvale as his successor. That
the preacher nominee or A. C. Town
ley, his hacker, will accept anything
from the hands of the court beyond
clean bill of health for the minister
goes without saying and if Judge
Johnson holds to the contrary, it
means the supreme court and in the
event of failure there the filing of
Rev. Kvale, either as an independent
candidate or his election through the
medium of stickers. To be frank
about it Republican leaders generally
are not at all pleased with the pros
pect as they see in the scrap line
of controversy that may get beyond
the bounds of the district and become
state wide. True the district is bad
territory in an old line way and the
Rev. Kvale represents an element
contrary to the best interests of the
state, but, as some of the big fellows
view it, the state at large is of more
Importance and this is not The time
to eject local controversies into the
big game. 1t simply means more
raw meat for the Bolsheyiki. While
Congressman Volsted is big man at
the national capitol by reason of
seniority in a committee way this
fact did not impress the voters of the
Seventh district who gave his rival,

"panning" you must sit in when a
few of the Lynch end of the Min
nesota delegation to the Frisco Con-
vention gather to discuss some of
their troubles. Woman was a part
of the Lynch political downfall and
the one sore spot is that the big end
of the women's division of the Min
nesota delegation was practically
their creation. One member of the
women's division of the Gopher con-
tingent, who is claimed by the Lynch
crowd as their particular find, and
who has since been favored finan-
cially and in national way, simply

the Lynch forces were all wrapped

women of the delegation wept when
McAdoo went down to defeat, the

Lynch boys had their revenge, for
while they did not get by with their

Tn June contracts for a new boiler house and power plant for Norwich were let and we have every req son to expect the same economies will be secured there as at Silver Spring.
