Sank Centre-SWanviIIe
Babcock Highway Grad
ing Is Nearly Completed

in order to build the road. This has
been done and when completed this
road will be regular boulevard from
Sank Centre to Ward Springs, Grey
Eagle, Burtrum and Swanville.
This is just sample of the kind of
road building which the adoption of
the Babcock amendment has made
possible.
Winter maintenance of roads is
contemplated by the state highway
department, but this also depends on
the passage of the rural road bill by
Congress.
Regardless of the outcome of this
bill, we are informed, an effort will
be made to keep the road leading
north of Sank Centre, through Todd
county to Wadena, open and in good
travelling condition throughout the
coming winter.
No machinery has been perfected
at present which will take care of the
keeping of country roads open for
winter travel, but as there is great
need of such devices it is not to be
doubted that the necessary machinery
will be invented and when machinery
capable of doing these things is COM
pleted the road crews will work both
winter and summer on Minnesotaps
highways and they will be just as
easy to travel on in winter as during
other seasons Of the year.

HENRY, THE RAILROADER

Whatever may be the shortcomings of Hen- nery Ford, he is demonstrating that railroad can be run on the square, with good pay to his employees and still make money for his stock holders. His freight schedules probably do not show that feather beds are perishable and that it is cheaper to pay millions for lawyers rather than to pay few thousands for legitimate claims against the road. The old-time railroad heads do not seem to be able to come alive to the changed situation and still believe that what the public does not know. won't hurt them and what they. happen to know can be taken into the courts and the life lawed out of the claimant. It probably will be necessary for Father Time to gather up all the old, dyed in the wool, hard boiled gang of railroad heads, before live bunch can come along and find it much easier and much more profitable to deal square with the public. Why should it be necessary for associations to spring up all over the country, associations which must hire experts to audit their railroad bills to see whether or not they are getting what is coming to them? The whole system is so framed that it is a system of compounding the debt the public has, to pay for the lack of ser vice. It is hardly any wonder that railroad em- ployees, knowing what they do of the waste and exhorbitant overhead, feel they should get their share of the spells as long as the public will stand for it.

FORGETTING THE CAUSE OF THE ROW

In Congressman Blanton's case it looks to many as though he was as much sinned against as shining. We have grave doubts as to the ad- visibility of his having had the objectionable af fidavit published in the Congressional Record, even though partly expurged. We are inclined to believe that congress should not only shave taken up his case but should have gone thorough ly into the cause for the affidavit in the first place. If the government printing office is in- fested with bosses who can treat men working under them as this affidavit says one did, there should be wholesale cleaning of that office. Blanton's object in showing the treatment re- ceived by any one who neglected or refused to he seemed to have the evidence against them. vice of employees in Washington is honeycombed with societies or unions, which prey upon those who come there to work. That the C0ngression- al Record is Sunday school paper which all the children read, is silly rot; it has splendid cir culation' but is seldom read unless attention is called to it by some such proceeding as was taken against Blanton. We hope congress did not take this action against Blanton to cover up the vital things he was uncovering to the gaze of the public-this free public, which seems to be so badly tangled up with petty bosses of the kind he described, that cost them millions to perpet- uate. Blanton is rabid democrat, but he was doing the whole people service, even though he committed technical error in having some of the language used by public official to his in- ferior, because he did not belong to the printers union and pay tribute to them, published that the people might read and know the character of men "we' employ.

MAJOR KELLY SPEAKS KINDLY

Our good friend and good editor, Fred Breen of Flagstaff, has seemingly been choked off the republican organization in Arizona, but before he turned loose his hold he had the breath nearly out of several organization leaders who will require a pulmotor to reinstate them to fur ther prominence.-Douglas Dispatch.
 Of course we appreciate the two "goods" that appear in the first line from Major Kelly's pen. There are only few old-timers left of Major Kelly's quality in the southwest, and we are sincere in the belief that his main efforts have been along the line of making the beloved state of his adoption Arizona" bigger and bet ter so long as He on high graces him with the vital spark. We are all in on the main idea but sometimes differ as to details. This state needs purging of the despoilers and Major Kelly has a world of wisdom along that line, if he would only let himself become party to the party that believes wholly in the best interests of Arizona. ,..He who deserves because of his works, should be applapded without stint" How's that for a platform, Major?
 z II Why not boost the competent, knock the in- competent and help produce results for the whole people of Arizona? Sounds like a hard call, but Arizona does not need politics half as much right now as she needs brains and ability.

WHY THE STRIKE IS OFF

The great railroad strike was called off before it began The labor leaders said the reason for calling it off was because "the entire Washing ton administration was opposed to us; the full force of the government would be against us if we went out" They might have added that the States was also against them. They discovered that the Harding administration is not the old Wilson regime which was prone to turn the whole works over to the labor leaders on the slightest provocation. The proposed strike was unfair. Now it remains to be seen whether or not the administration will take the railroad heads over it's knee and make them reduce rates immediately That seems to be the intention and the general public is strong for such action. The public will not be satisfied with just the wage cut and stopping of the strike but will demand redress from the railroads.
The Coconino sun., 1921-11-04

President Harding in recent speech at Birmingham, Alabama, declared unequivocaly against race equality, but for some reason the touchy politicians are not pleased with his speech. They do not even want the question mentioned, fearing there might be some feeling aroused as to their present system of counting him out when it comes to voting. President Hardings speech was one which met with the unqualified approval of every honest thinking man. Brains always rule except where mob law prevails.

What we most love about the press agent is his whole-souled desired to help the publisher out and in sending him whole batch of stuff boosting some private enterprise, adding to the bunch of copy "this is sent you and may be used without charge" Just like walking into gro- cery store, picking up choice ham and waving your hand kindly to the proprietor with the re- mark: 'There is no charge for this work I'm doing for you"

Former Augusta Girl
Scores in Georgia

Many people in this city will read
with interest of the splendid success
of an Augusta girl as instructor at a
Bible school away down south in
Dixie" in the state of Georgia. Some
years ago this same girl inaugurated
the first kite flying contest among
the pupils of the public schools Of
this city, attracting scores OF people
to the State muster field where the
competition was held.
Miss V. Gertrude Fletcher, daugh-
ter of Charles f. Fletcher, the build
ing contractor on Mt. Vernon avenue
was formerly instructor in manual
training in the public schools of Au-
gusta. She was a very active work
er and during her service here in
cited juvenile genius to some re-
markable specimens of handicraft
The annual exhibitions were always
largely attended.
Miss Fletcher has always been in
terested in religious matters and for
a number of years has attended reg
ularly the camp meeting at Old Or
chard beach. 1t was through sugges-
tons of some of the speakers at the
camp meeting that she was led to
take up her work in the South She
is now teaching manual training at
the Toccoa Falls Institute in Georgia,
the only interdenominationel school
of its character in the South.
1t is a Bible school for the train
ing of Christian workers. The pupils
under Miss Fletcher are able after
while to construct anything from
boog rack to library table or a
book case. The South has always
looked to the North for leaders. Miss
Fletcher is proving one of those
leaders.
Apart from her routine class dut-
les, Miss Fletcher is helping to eX-
pand the institution. She has per-
sonally made the plans for several of
the new buildings and has supervised
the construction. She does not claim
to be an architect, in the strict sense
Of the term, but has inherited from
, her father considerable constructive
ability, combined with a good deal
OF sound Yankee common sense.
Even hack on the farm Miss FLEET
cher was always handy with tools and
heiped to construct many of the
smaller buildings about the place. A
water color fresco which she executed
in the chapel connected with the in
stitute has attracted widespread at
, tention. AS side line, Miss Fletcher
also gives lessons in elocution. and
during the last commencement, the
excellence of the several parts attest
ed to her skill.
This institute is unique in many
respects. Miss Fletcher says that a
graduate is supposed to know how
to preach, pray, sing, play the organ

ing, under stand at least one lam
guage besides English, teach school
keep house, cook, sew, build a table

None are admitted to the institute
who are not Christians or under 16
years of age. The school is nestled in
the foothills of the Appalachian
Mountains on the main line of the
Southern Railroad and is 1900 feet
above the level of the sea The school
raises all its eatables andh as it's own

and flour mill. private. water system
