The miners have real grievances.
but they refuse to submit them to an
impartial body of arbiters named by
the President. They prefer the path
of violence to win. They shoot down
nonunion workers in cold blood as at
Herrin. They refuse to take the or
derby and legal way of settling dis
putes. And they care not at all that
they are causing the farmer huge
losses and are threatening him with
worse.
The rail workers are supposed to be
higher up in the industrial scale, to
have more pride of citizenship, more
respect for law and order. Yet they
too are taking it out on the farmer.
They are denying him transportation
for his crops. They are resorting to
violence, and when peace officers are
sent to protect life and property, they
call sympathetic strikes and farther
paralyze transportation
The fruit-raisers of California are
now facing staggering losses, because
the arteries of traffic on which they
are dependent are being tied up by
rail workers in defense of the regime
of violnce.
The invitation to join farmer-labor
parties, in the light of what is now
going on, must sound like the bitter
est irony to the farmers. -Minneap-

Folks, please have heart when you go after
grapes or other wild fruits. Three times within
the past week have farmers come into the Ga
zette office and commented-in fact practically
complained-of the trespassing which "you town
folks (the expression is theirs, not ours) are
doing in getting fruits, especially wild grapes.
Everything that grows on a farmers farm be-
longs to that farmer-to take it without his per-
mission is as much misdemeanor as to take his
corn or potatoes or chickens. The loss of the
fruit is not the only thing of which these men
spoke, however; one complained of badly broken
fence which let cows into his corn field; another
complained of badly torn-down grape vines which
will probably not bear next year and of several
broken-off saplings and branches from larger
trees in his timber lot; the third spoke of prob
able fire from the grapers camp fire over which
they cooked their picnic supper, this fire being
discovered in dangerously smodering state after
the picnicers had left. Trespassing is in most
cases the result of thoughtfulness but it would
seem that farmers are justified in being bit put
out by the way some Of their unlimited visitors
conduct themselves.

the Senate, has, upon several occasions, rather
severely criticised her opponent, Senator Frank
Kellogg for certain items in his senatorial record.
Since his record and that of his Senior, Senator

A farmer visiting Redwood Falls last week sug-
gested to the Gazette that the htching posts of
the city are still inadequate, remarking that those
recently erected in the alley between Second and
Third Streets were all right for small rigs but
weren't convenient when a farmer came with a
big load of grain, hay or wood etc. We don't
know much about hitching posts and we do know
that the City Council has endeavored to take care
care of the visiting teams, at the same time pay
ing necessary attention to sanitary measures.
We haven't any doubt but that that same Council
will give this suggestion due consideration.

Comment on the Schafer parole through the
state has disclosed lot of misunderstanding
about the parole board. Many seem to think that
the action was taken by the state board of par
dons, consisting of the governor, the attorney
general and the chief justice. Others have blamed
it on the board of control. The parole board is a
distinct body, with power to parole but not to
pardon The board of pardons only pardon
or commute sentences. Paroles are made under
the indeterminate sentence law, and elective offic-
ials have nothing to do with them. The chairman
of the board of CONTROL the head of the institution
and third member appointed by the governor,
form the parole board, which took the action in
the Schafer case.-Charles B. Cheney.

The bootlegger finds the public dance-especi,
ally those taking place in 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 prompt
ly 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 stigma upon the pavilion
and country dance and it behooves those who
give these dances to cooperate with the author
tiles in their efforts to check his Infamous work
And, above all, it behooves parents and guard
ians of boys and girls to keep them away from
all dances of this kind. The risk is too great fol-
any thinking person to permit youngster to
take it.

And nestled in our orchard-trees.
For every flower I had name,

What plants would soothe stone-bruised to-
Oh, was very learned then,
But that was very long ago.

Where checker-berries could be found;
I knew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weighed pound,
knew the wood, the very tree,
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow;
And all the woods and crows knew me,
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth
I tread the old familiar spot,
Only to learn this solemn truth
I have forgotten, am forgot.
Yet here's this answer at my knee
Knows all the things used to know.
To think I once was wise as he

Of whatsoever the fates Decree;
Yet were not wishes all in vain
I'd tell you what my wish should be,
I'd wish to be boy again,
Back to the friends I used to know;
For I was oh, so happy then
But that was very long ago.

Evangelist Services at
Penney Memorial Church

In all church meetings Monday
night is usually considered an off
night but 1t did not prove to be such
at the Penney Memorial church last
night as the number out was very
creasingly manifested by all who
were present. The new hymn book
that is being used is gaining wide use
and general acceptance. After fine
song service at the opening Mr..
Cooper sang one of his beautiful
baritone solos very effectively.
The address was in the form of a
popular lecture rather than a SER
mon. and was greatly enjoyed by the
large number present. Among other
things Mr.. Cooper said: Success is a
relative term; what would he success
for one person would be failure for
another more or less. Unfortunate
ly success is too often spoken of in
terms Of money. A life of idleness
and luxury is regarded as the most
desirable good by the youth of today.
This is great mistake and will work
untold havoc unless speedily cor
rected. The lure of big money, easy
money as it is called is sadly warp
ing the morals and perverting she
vision of the rising generation.
America is still the land of oppor-
tunity for real work and service. The
man or woman who will use gray
! matter as we'll as manual labor will
never want for a living and a good
one. And just for good measure God
will throw in happiness too. There
is a healthy as well as unhealthy dis
content. The man who is sour be-
cause his job isn't as big as some
body else's is a fool. The thing to do
| is to buckle in and do your best.
