While we may not agree with Ed
ward Indrehus on all political ques-
tions, everyone will admit that he is a
fine type of American citizen and a
mighty good neighbor. While resid-
ing on his farm and keeping in close
touch with the people of his locality
he takes an active interest in public
matters. This country needs more
of that kind of men. It might be
exceeding wholesome for this nation
if more political campaigns could be
launched from the farm of the candi-
date. Anyone who was present at the
democratic meeting at Mr.. Indrehus'
farm Tuesday must have been i'm
pressed with the kindly spirit and the
sincerity of the man. If he is never
elected governor of Minnesota, he will
undoubtedly have many opportunities
to serve the people of the state in
other positions.

The greater portion Of Edward In
drehus' keynote speech was devoted to
a criticism of Governor Preus for
those things which he had done and
also for that which he had left undone.
He was severely censured for the pa
role of William H. Schafer, the no.
torious bank wrecker. Now just how
much of the blame for that act rests
with Governor Preus? Schafer was
serving his sentence in the state
prison at Saltwater. The authority
to parole inmates of that institution is
vested entirely in a board composed
of the warden Of the penitentiary, the
senior member of the board of control,
and one citizen member. Only one
member of this board, the citizen
member, was appointed by Governor
Preus. Then why blame him for
Schafer's parole? It would be almost
as reasonable to blame the state treas
urer or the president of the Mime
sofa Farm. Bureau federation.

There is no occasion for the voters
IN Minnesota to worry themselves to
death over the Newberry-Ford mud
die in Michigan. Unquestionably too
much money was spent in that cam
paign, but it is very doubtful if the
Newberry forces spent any more than
the Ford men. Moreover the evidence
presented, when the matter was thor
oughly aired, proved that Newberry
himself did not spend more than the
amount allowed by law. In the prim-
ary election held in Michigan on Tues
day, just at the time when some demo-
cratic orators right in our own COM
munity were becoming so eloquent
upon the subject of "Ncwberryism, !"
the voters of that state went to the
polls and gave Senator Townsend a
majority Of 10000 over his opponent.
Charles Townsend defended Newberry
in the United States senate and went
before the voters of his state on that
issue. The results of Tuesdays cleo
tion must be considered as an en-
dorsemept of his action.

ABOVE REPROACH

1t is to be hoped that candidates for
office who are seeking effective cam
palgn ammunition will not drag the
board of control into the arena. The
board of control as established in
1901 has always been regarded as one
state administering body that is
above reproach. It has become an un-
written law that appointments to that
board should not in any way be sub
Ject to political preference.
The board has so successfully direct.
ed the management of our 13 state in
stltutions that they are today known
throughout the whole nation as model
hospitals and schools of their kind,
During the last two years the men,
oershlp Of the board has been en-
larged from three to five to include
TWO women. One members term ex-
plred and another vacancy was cre-
ated by the death of a second men,
Der. The governor was therefore
obliged to make four appointments
Those whom he selected for the posi-
lions are recognized throughout the
state as being men and women of the
highest integrity who are particularly
we'll fitted to serve on the board. It
Will be remembered that one of the
appolntees was a prominent democrat
we'll known in this section of the state,
John Coleman, former superintendent
OF the insane hospital at Anoka.
Inc campaign orators who attempt
to create the impression that ap-
pointments to the board of control are
to be considered as political plums are
not being fair in their presentation
OF the matter. The evidence is to the
contrary.

Judging from the exhibit Pine
county had at the state fair this year,
she probably had an unusually good
county fair, but in Pine, as in nearly
every county in the state, there are
those who criticise the fair for being
too local an institution. Pine City is
in the southern end of the county and
some Of the towns in the northern and
central portions protest that the fair
has become an institution chiefly for
one locality and not for the whole
county. It is of course, impossible
to hold the fair in every village in
any county, but the good roads and the
automobiles have so shortened dis
tances that this ents;'s no real hard
ship on anyone. A person in an auto
mobile can now travel 35 or 40 miles
in the same time that he could
traverse eight miles Is years ago
when he drove horses.

uation, and po rate Of income has been
guaranteed. The roads in 1920 earned
q fraction Of one per cent on the valu-
alton, and in 1921 only 3.81 per cent.
Still rate reductions averaging eleven
per cent have already been made, as
the roads have recovered from the
government mismanagement under the
Wilson administration.
It is unfortunate that Mrs. Olesen
should have been led into these err
rors, whether through carelessness or
through unreliable sources Of informa-
tion. It is unfortunate for Senator
Kellogg, who has been m1srepresented,
and unfortunate for Mrs. Olesen, that
she should have passed out such in
formation to the public in keynote
speech, however innocent of wilful in
tent to deceive Minneapolis Journal.

It is altogether fitting that our gold
star mothers should be the first to
receive recognition in the American
Legion auxiliary. It is these women
who have the good Of the organization
most at heart. They find relief from
their grief in ministering to the
needs of their sons comrades. Two of
the nine auxiliary members appointed
at the state convention in Virginia to
serve on the committee for sick and
disabled soldiers were Mrs. Matte
Mallete of Princeton and Mrs. Elmer
Chapman Of st. Cloud. It would have
been impossible to have selected two
women who would more consicien-
tiously perform the duties assigned to
this committee, and all will be done
as labor of love.

Odd African Bush Tribe.

The strangest people in the world,
according to Mrs. Harry Kaigh Eus-
tace, who is here on her way to Eng
land and Africa, are the women Of a
bush tribe in the Gordonia desert, cen
tral southwest Africa.
These women, she says, have devel-
oped glands in the back in which they
store water, like camels. When they
drink great deal Of water, the glands
make them appear deformed. After a
few days in the desert, with little or
no water, their reserve supply is alb
sorbed and they look normal. They
can 20 without water longer than q
camel.
Mrs. Eustace, whose husband is q
big game hunter, is English, and has
spent IL years In Africa shooting big
game with camera and gun. She is
preparing for her ninth expedition,
and is in New York after a visit to
San Francisco.
She says snakes are really affec-
tionate when you get to understand
them, and make good pets.

"sCADS" MAKE A Difference
Romantlcists May Deny 1t, but Aver
age Man Beyond Middle Age
Knows It to Be Fact.

Someone Raymond Hitchcock, I
think-used to sing little song about
the difference just few hours makes.
He might have gone a little farther.
What difference just a few dollars
make.
Rebecca Colt-it is Cole, now,
though 1t used to be something else
when Old Abe opened his boots, bottles
and iron emporium in our back
alley-Rebecca and 1 used to be good
friends. She was tarnation pretty
girl, Becky was. More than that. She
was a ripping, raving, tearing beauty.
She didn't have the clothes, then. The
most you could say for them was that
they were clean. The girls In our
town were just finding out that hair
could be marcelled, waved and what
NOTED by hired help. Their mothers
had always washed their own hair and
sat on the back porch until it dried.
Becky had to wash her own and fluff
it around with her hands until 1t could
be put up. Entrancingly pretty Becky
was, at such moments.
I was in love with her, of course.
But my mother savaged me whenever
the fact came to her attention. Becky
was pretty, she admitted, but that was
about all that could be said Of her,
and she was handicapped by that
boots, bottles, and old iron ancestry.
Becky was sort Of in love with me, I
think. Just propinquity, probably, but
her eyes used to shine very pretty
when I hove in signt. Well, I was
chased away from the paternal hamlet
for one reason and another, and when
I got back the old man had moved to
a better street, and mother rode down
to market in glass-1nclosed car that
had a sort of family likeness to
hearse, and the town newspaper printed
my picture, as the son Of the we'll
known and popular, etc.
So sort Of looked down on Becky.

rassed. We could not get back to the

Asks Stockholders for Loan.


The company publishing the non

holders for $25 '1oan" from each at
eight per cent, to keep it going. It
says in reply to the appeal of August
30 it received loans from only 13O of

not enough for one weeks payroll. It
wants $4,000 and right away. The
nonpartisan league started lot of
weekly papers, on money put up by
members, and most of them have
closed up shop, and were a total loss
to the stockholders. Stearns county
had one such paper, and we do not
see the names of any men from

WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING.

Anna Dickey Olesen has achieved
quite reputation as public speaker.
It is therefore only fair to assume
that she was not up to her usual stan
dard in her brief address at Edward
1ndrehus' farm on Tuesday afternoon.
Possibly the criticisms of the press,
mild as they were concerning some of
her recent inaccurate statements, had
so irritated her that she did not have
her usual poise. But if Tuesdays af-
ternoon performance was fair sam
pie of Annals campaign oratory she
has forfeited all claims to considera-
tion from the press or from her politi-
cal opponents.
1t is disheartening to hear a woman
who is aspiring to as high an office
as that of United States senator re-
sort to Mrs. Olcsen's line of proce-
dure. She devoted practically all her
time to attacking Senator Kellogg's
record, critisizing him for his action
on matters of which she did not ap-
parently have a clear understanding,
charging him with working for the
moneyed interests only, and even
STOPPING to insinuate that he was
elected six years ago because he had
the money to conduct such an extern
sive publicity campaign that he was
able to put himself over on the peo-
pie.
1t is almost incomprehensible to
conceive of Mrs. Olesen deploring the
arraying of class against class and
still employing the tactics she used in
attacking Frank Kellogg. Practically
every criticism she made of his record
would be effective only if it appealed
to class prejudice. Her whole line of
argument was that Frank Kellogg was
not with the farmers and the COM
mon, laboring people.
TO those who have known the man
and his untiring efforts to serve the
people of his state and particularly the
farmers, Mrs. Olesen's TRADE was ex-
ceedingly exasperating. The most
charitable assumption to be made was
that she was speaking without full
knowledge of the facts and in the ex-
cltement of the campaign she has tenn
porarily lost her sense of fair play.

"Taking Over"

Whenever supposed emergency or
crisis comes there are always those
who would solve the problem by hav-
ing the government "take over" some
thing. Nothing could be more anus
ing, we're it not so serious, than this
ascription of mystical power and su-
pernal wisdom to a government which,
at it's best, never represents more than
the average intelligence Of the COM
munity. Now it is urged that the
government "take over" the railroads.
The nature of the process is not yet
disclosed, nor have it's results been
clearly thought out. What is looked
for is a more or less miraculous heal
ing of the sore with which the nation
is now afflicted.
Of course, the government has no
more power than the railroad execu-
tives to compel men to work. It could
undoubtedly. as it did during the war,
tempt them TO work by the offer of
very high wages and very easy work
ing conditions. But that. would sim
ply aggrevate the situation. If this
policy were adopted, the government
would, if it continued to operate the
roads, either have greatly to in
crease fares and freights or else tax
the people to make up the deficit.
While if the roads were turned back
with conditions established by gov
ernment, in force, the executives
would face the old problem in great
1y exaggerated form. There would
and could be no permanent relief.
So in such cases it is always neces-
sary to think Of what would happen
after the proposed remedy had been
put into operation-what would be it's
ultimate effect. And this is just what
many seem reluctant to do. -Indianap-

A Fearless Fighter.

Hon. C. H. Warner of Aitkin, who
has represented his county so ably
in the Minnesota house Tor several
sessions, is candidate for the state
senate in the Aitkin- Carleton coun-
ties district. Mr.. Warner has been
one of the best friends northeastern
Minnesota has ever had in the legis-
lature. Able and a fearless fighter,
he has accomplished great deal for
this part of the state. Because of his
long experience in public affairs and
his we'll recognized capacity as a
legislator he would at once become
one of the leaders of the senate if
elected to that body. Mr.. Warmers
candidacy should appeal particularly
to the farmers Of his district because
Of his active interest in legislation
giving the farmers proper control over
marketing facilities. He was one Of
the first to advocate the improvement
Of the cooperative laws in order that
the farmers might market their pro-
ducts to better Observation-Disclosures

A Public Menace.
The bootlegger finds the public
dance especially those taking place
in a pavilion or barn-a profitable
place for him to ply his nefarious
trade. He stocks up and turks near
the merry makers and entices the
young men to purchase his wares. He
is criminal, Of course, and should be
promptly arrested, but it is not so
easy to identify him, and order him
away or call an officer to arrest him.
He is nuisance that has got to be
reckoned with. He is casting stig-
ma upon the pavilion and country
dance and it behooves those who give
these dances to cooperate with the
authorities in their efforts to check
his Infamous work. And, above all,
it behooves the parents and guardians
of boys and girls to keep them away
from all dances of this kind. The risk
is too great for any thinking person
to permit a youngster to take it.
