ELIMINATE THE HATE

The St. Cloud Journal-Press in
discussing the article by DR.. J. A.
Dubois in the Herald of last week
says:
''Dr. J. A. Dubois, of Sank Centre,
the kind hearted citizen, and who
won the proudest title that can be
given any man, as one "who likes
folks" has splendid contribution in
the Herald of that city, brought out
by the offering Of a prize by the
American Legion post to the boys
and girls of the public schools for
the best essay en- "Americanism."
The doctor commends the idea, but
throws out word of timely caution
that this is the age Of reconstruc-
ton and not retaliation, and that
hatred should be eliminated from our
hearts if we are to be true Ameri-
cans and leaders in the work of re-
claiming the world. His closing par
agraph is worthy of serious consid-
Grafton, not only by pupils but by all
good citizens:

ST. PAUL LETTER

Minnesota members of the lower
house at Washington, who have in
mind another bling at the congress
sional game next year are due for
big punches of trouble, that is a ma
jority of them. To hand it out plain
Congress is not in the best of stand
ing with the voters and the. Mime
sofa contingent is no exception to the
rule. Congressman Anderson of
the First District seems to have
come out of the wreck Of the late
special with the best standing and in
the opinion of many will be one of
the few without opposition if he
elects to return. It is said, though,
that he would like to succeed Knute
Nelson as United States Senator. C.
R. Davis of the Third District will
have to search his political trick box
thoroughly if he wants to beat the
bunch who are after his official
scalp. Volsted of the Seventh will
undoubtedly be opposed and Steiner
son of the Ninth is again billed for
hot primary fight. It is claimed that
Harold Knutson of the Sixth is fair
ly safe and also Clague of the Sec
ond District. Trouble is predicted
for Congressman Larson of the,
Eighth.
Editorial efforts of a leading st.
Paul Daily to smoke out Judge Oscar
Hallam in the matter of the United
States Senatorship have not met with
very favorable response from some
of the country press. "Vicious and
Insulting" is the answer of one up
state paper, Unworthy of Great
Paper" is the comment of another
and "a Nasty Slap of still another.
The paper in question is committed to
the candidacy of Frank B. Kellogg.
The editorial which angered the Hal
lam forces INDUCED in the broad hint
that Kellogg supports who might be
patrons of the court of which Judge
Hallam is member were fearful of
reprisals if his dual capacity of a
candidate for United States Senator
and member of the court was con-
tinued. His resignation was sug--
gested. Friends insist that there is
no precedent for his early retirement.
AS for toting fair while on the
bench his record gives the lie to any
thing else. His Americanism is
unquestioned.
Word from a number of the Sena-
torial districts is that senatorial can
ddates for the same are in the max
ing and that many of the old men-
bers of, the senate are due for strong
opposition. The vacancy in the

ACCIDENTS

Is there such thing as an acct
dent? Many strong thinkers say
there is not Most of the occurren-
ces which are called accidents, they
say, are due to carelessness on the
part of somebody.
Had you ever thought about this?
A bolt of lightning is not an ac-
cident, nor is cyclone. These come
from laws of nature-or, to put it
differently, they are acts of God.
- But when brick falls from tall
building and Injuries a man on the
street, that is called an accident. But
If the brick had been properly laid
in cement on the wall 1t would not
have fallen and there would have
been no accident.

WORKED BENEATH THE EARTH
Discovery In Jerusalem Solves Much
Of Mystery Connected With King
SoIomon's Temple.

How often great discoveries spring
from trifling Incidents! The trite re-
Election comes to mind naturally on
hearing how the quarries of King Sol
ONION were found. DR.. Allen Moore,
for II years resident of Palestine,
tells the curious tale.
For many many years, says Doctor
Moore, travellers and Psychologists
were puzzled to know where the enor-
nous blocks of stone still standing In
the ruins of Solomon's temple at Jeru-
salem were quarried One day q lit
tie dog chased q lizard down q hole
among the debris. The next instant
the dog also disappeared.
His master, coming to the opening,
peered down In vain. He called, and
to his amazement his voice came back
as from great depths. He summoned
assistance, and passage was opened
into immense subterranean Quarries
There were found huge masses OF
stone almost ready to be hoisted
above ground.
"And don't you remember" asks
Doctor Moore, shat we are told in
our Bibles that the temple was built
without sound of saw or of hammer
The fact that the quarryman worked
underground partly explains that"
Upon some Of the stones were found
inscriptions that perplexed the explor
ers until one scholar pronounced then
PhOenician. The stones were wrough
by some of that army Of workmen sen

Who Made the Alphabet?

If 1t takes genius to make great
words, it was also q genius who made
the alphabet which makes the words.
The pedigree of our alphabet can he
traced continuously for nearly 1900
years, and then comes a hiatus, says a
recent writer. The genesis Of writing
must naturally be sought in pictures.
Caveman, when he painted his women
or beasts on rock walls, or carved elks
and elephants on antlers and tusks,
was laying the foundations of one of
the great human inventions. Behind
all this apt artistic effort we must see
some esOteric motive, for 1T was not
due merely to the striving Of the crea-
tive soul after expression. Doubtless,
adds our authority, when caveman held
an exhibition Of his works, his friends
praised the ingenuity and beauty OF
his pictures, but there is something
more than the desire of simple repro
ductiOn hidden in his handiwOrk.

GROUSE LIVES LIKE ESKIMO

In the temperate months the grouse

one wonders at their survival; for
now the fall flight Of the robins COM

OLD FRIEND, BASEBALL LEAGUE
ON DECK AGAIN

Opening steps toward the organi-
zatiop Of Bluegrass league of in
dependent base ball clubs are being
taken by Jess Morton, business man
ager for the Lexington Base Ball
Club, 1T was learned yesterday.
Morton has written to several mana
gers of clubs in towns in the Blue
grass and has received replies from
several Of these favoring a league.
According to Morton's tentative
proposals, the league games would
be played twice a week, one on Sun
day and the other on some week day,
There would be six clubs in the cir
cult, and the season would open
about April Is. Outlines of the plan
and requests for cooperation in the
formation of the league has been
sent to base ball men in Winchester,
Frankfort, Cynthiana, Paris, Rich
mond, Shelbyville and Georgetown.
Charles Ellis and Frank Ramsey
managers and owners of the Win
chester Hustlers, have declared
themselves in favor Of, the league

OF the Ruggles, and formerly a
player on the Paris team Of the old

are heartily in favor of the league
Replies have not yet been received
from other towns.
The successful seasons enjoyed by
the semi-pro outfits that densely
densely populated the Bluegrass dur
ing the 1921 base ball season ha
caused the various clubs to believ,
that league would be successful
and from the showing of the pas
season, it seems probable that such
league would be welcomed by tn
fans of this section. Morton ex
poets to thoroughly sound out tn

the circuit is strong enough, work OF
