The invitation extended by Senator
Harding to Governor Coolidge to sit
at the cabinet table with the members
after the Inauguration introduces a
new custom. The traditional treat
ment of the vice president as rank
outsider, even more useless admins
tratively than a fifth wheel, has not
been in the interest of the public wei
fare. In order that he might have
something to do he was officially made
the presiding officer Of the senate,
which, however, elects president pro-
tenn, who presides much Of the time.
This is mixing of two independent
branches of the government the adj
ministrative and the legislative-which
is excusable only on the ground that
there is very little of the administra-
tive in which the vice president is en-
gagged. However he is elected as a
potential administrative officer and
belongs on that side of the distinct
dividing line between the departments.

Meetings at Farm School.

About $500 Minnesota farmers and
their wives attended the home-mak-

The annual indoor field meet and
Homecoming of the central school Of
agriculture will be held at the Uni

at night between the school team and

-- Many people adopt an orphan and

tributed to the fund for destitute chill

McCully is entitled to first place. The

returned from Europe with a family
of seven Russian waits, whom he. in
tends to raise and educate at his home
in Washington. He experienced some
difficulty in bringing in his little
group of orphans as the immigration
authorities refused to permit the chill

admiral eventually ovcrcame this OBJ

Of labor, which granted him the right

hope Admiral McCully may live to
realize his ambition of seeing his
family grow to manhood as hundred

surely man among men.

Money Well Spent.

Senator Frank B. Kellogg complete

James Reed of Missouri to discredit
Herbert Hoover and the present ad-
ministration and to curry favor with
extreme pacifsts and sympathizers
with soviet Russia The Minnesota
senator replied to charges in the SEN

a total Of $150,o00,000 appropriat-
ed as government aid to Europe
to be spent for the support Of the
Polish army fighting the bolshevist in
vaders. Mr.. Kellogg showed that the
money was used for flour which was
sold to the Polish government to be
distributed as it saw fit, and therefore
Hoover was not responsible for the
distribution and further that Hoover
should not be criticised for failure to
report in detail as to the expenditures,
as that duty was laid on the president
of the United States by the law ap-
propriating the money.

Chas. Babcock Endorsed.

The county commissioners in their
last official meeting by a unanimous
vote passed the following resolution
endorsing our state highway commits
sioner, Chas. M. Babcock, and in so
doing they voiced the sentiment of a
majority Of voters in Mile Laos coun-
ty:
Whereas, the board has learned
through the newspapers and otherwise
that the incoming legislature has in
mind revision of the law with ref
erence to the commissioner Of high
ways, that in his place it is proposed
to put into the hands of the governor
the power to appoint five or seven men
from various parts of the state to act
in the capacity of highway commits
sion to- distribute the funds of the
trunk highway system, also the state
and federal allotments, and whereas
during the four years of the present
incumbent, the Hon. Chas. M. Bah
cock as commissioner of highways, all
the effective work that has been done
in this county has been done under his
efficient management.
We know that he has always been
ready and willing to help US whenever
it was needed, that he has conducted
the office in progressive and bust
nesslike manner, the funds, both fed
eral and state, have been honestly dis
tributed. The organization of the
force of engineers and others who have
charge of the work under his direc-
49,, have hoo,, ,,o1ro onvio,1c to x,,o,.lr

business ability, and
Whereas, the Hon. Chas. M. Bah
cock is the author Of the plan for tax
ing motor vehicles known as the Bah
cock Amendment, voted on and car
ried by a large majority at the late
election, and we feel that it was his
personal interest in good roads, and no
selfish desire to serve all the people
of this state, that the amendment car
ried. He conceived the plan and
ought now to be given full power to
demonstrate his ability to build up the
road organization and system in this
state, that will be superior to any
similar plan in these United States.
There should be no divided authority:
and we therefore resolve to send this
endorsement to the Honorable j. A. 0.
Preus, governor; Hon. Louis Collins,
lieutenant governor; Hon. w. I. No
Ian, speaker of the house: to the com
mittee on roads and bridges in both
senate and house, to our legislative
representatives, also the Hon. Chas.
M. Babcock, with an earnest appea!
that no change be made in the law
providing for commissioner of high
ways, and retaining in that position
the Hon. Chas. M. Babcock and his as
sociates and assistants under his direc-
tons.

the $50, 100000 loan would not now be
worth SO cents.
Aside from any selfish American
consideration, which ought not to be
despised, the Poles probably were the
best judges Of the most effective way
to use the relief appropriations. If
the bolsheviki had been PERMITTED to
crush Poland the condition of the
Polish people would now be infinitely
worse than it is. They would be suf-
fering from a hunger and starvation
that many times $50, 100000 would not
relieve. Assuredly there was no
wrong in feeding fighting men who
were defending their wives and chill
dren from starvation and moral degra-
dation.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Harvey's Weekly: Senator Sterling
is quite right in urging that we should
adopt permanent immigration policy
That is a real and great need, and the
policy should be based chiefly on eco
nomic considerations. It is not GER
tain, however, that such policy can
be formulated as quickly as the pres
ent emergency requires. The part of
prudence may be to adopt some tenn
porary measure, based on the princi-
pies which will govern the permanent
measure so as not to be homogeneous
with it when at last it is completed.
But certainly as soon as possible a
fixed policy should be adopted.

STATE HIGHWAYS AND PARKS.

STATE HUI w "A y AM 1 1AAsAAO'
Governor Preus in his inaugural ad
dress emphasized the Importance OF
the road problems confronting the
legislature" He stated that the i'm
provement of our highways will &c
much TO develop our agricultural re-
cources.
Plans have been made for 7,OOO,'
mile trunk highway system which will
connect all the county seats, lmpor'
tant cities and villages in the state
The lateral roads tributary to These
state highways will be improved and
thus there will be laid out over the
whole state a network Of good roads
Every intelligent, well-informed far
mer knows that good roads to his
neares+ market town mean prosperity
for him. Also in the future the motor
trucks will, to a considerable extent,
replace the railroads in the transport
tation of the farm products.
While the main purpose Of the road
program is development Of our agrl-
cultural resources, the improved high
ways will bring thousands Of summer
tourists to Minnesota. Men who have
travelled from coast to coast say that
no state in the union has more ma
tural beauty than Minnesota. Our
summer climate is ideal and, when
good highways are provided, the mo-
florists will come into our state by the
thousands. Governor Preus says
millions of dollars can be brought
into Minnesota annually if tourists
are encouraged" He suggests that a
system of state parks be developed IN
connection with the state highways
and provisions be made for public
camping grounds.
Princeton is on one of the principal
highways of the state. Each year
there is tremendous increase in the
motor traffic through the town. We
should have a large hotel, but hotels
are costly affairs and just now money
for financing new business projects is
rather scarce. Princeton can, how
ever, provide a camping ground fol
the tourists. The village council has
already taken some action in thi:
matter. The dead trees and under
brush have been removed from tn
pine grove in the park in the nortl
end Of town. A few conveniences will
be installed to make the park suita
bic camping ground and it will NJ
doubt answer the purpose nicely
There are several pretty groves o,
the river bank which would be mucl
more desirable for this purpose, blu
the park is situated right on the Seen
ic highway and it is the property O
the village.
