again in 1923 if there is great
need for it. After all the
nurses duty is greatest where
the parents are neglectful so if
the parents will all do their duty
we do not see that there is such
crying need for her, at any
rate there is nothing to get over
ly excited about.
We are living in an age of Of

the more Offices created the
more lax we become as it is SO
easy to say that that is the du-

Someone will say we are special

meant progress but when it goes
so far that we will not move a

STEFAN REPLIES TO PINE
POKER ACCUSATIONS

Editor Askov American
Kindly publish this article:
The taxpayer from Anderson's
district evidently was ashamed
to sipn his name to his article
in the Rock Creek department
Of the Pine Poker last week or
he would have done so. He
seems to have his mind dopcd
with lot of strange coinci-
dences. | don't think he pays a
very big share of the county's
taxes, If any at all. If he does
he would have been satisfied
with the way the printing job
was let this year, as the county
board did not throw 5000 Tor
81 200 as the Poker would have
its readers believe) to the winds
but saved the county over ST.
600 on this one contract. / wish
to inform this particular writer
(if it is not a fictitious article by
the Poker editor) to look up
actual facts in regard to the
matter and convince himself, as
no doubt the writer has digested
some of the junk that the Pine
Poker has been feeding the pub
lie on in his i'll got up sheet of
the last few issues.
The county nurse is a nice
thing to have but the majority
of the taxpayers do not want it
so why should the commission.

1t is the same old gag when
an exchange, in boosting a can
didate for state senator who in
all probability is very anxious to
land the seat, writes as follows:
Should he be induced to allow
his name to go before the people
he would make a strong candi-
date in his own county.

visited all schools Of the county
two times or more and has ex-
amined all the children in the
grades for ailments, recommend
ing to the parents what should
be done to each child to better
his or her health. The nurse
is no doctor and furthermore
would have no authority to adj
minister medical aid to the chill
dren even if she was, unless Civ
en- consent by the parents. She
can and does advise parents what
should be done to their children,
but if this advice is not followed
it is hardly Of any avail. Do pa
rents not as a rule look after the
health Of their own children and
take them to physicians if medi-
cal attention is needed? 1t ap-
pears to us that the nurse acts
mostly in an advisory capacity
and where the parents are alert
TO the welfare of their children
her services are not much re-
quired. BY this we do not mean
to insinuate that our county
nurse has not done a good deed
and accomplished much in the
two years she has been in Pine
county. There was much work
to be done and we believe that
she has meant much to the flu
ture health of many Pine county
children. We understand that
she has also visited some homes
and there did some individual
work. But if she has visited all
the schools of the county and
examined all the grade children
once or oftener during the past
two years would there not be
some duplication of work if she
was engaged for 1929? Are her
services required as much in
1922 as they were in 1920 and
1921? We believe not, so let us
not get too excited about this
matter. The commissioners
were of the opinion that a ma
jority Of the people in the coun-
ty would have voted down the
proposition if it had come to a
vote and hence acted according
ly, cutting down expenses wher-
ever possible.
There is always two sides to
any question and while a man
may be personally in favor Of a
proposition it is not always sure
that he can vote that way in an
official capacity. The wishes of
his constituents must be taken
into consideration as well as the
finances. Because man would
personally like to have a boule-
ward road past his house is not
saying that he could vote fox it
in public office.
1t is easy enough to whine and
make remarks something like
this: Isn't it awful to think
that Pine county won't even
spend $1,000 for the health of its
children in a year. This state
ment and others similar may
sound awful" but to thinking
people it has no effect. for they
know well enough that Pine
county citizens spend severa
thousand dollars on their chill
dren each day-whether that b.
public or private money it make
no difference it comes from tn
pockets of Pine county citizen
ANYWAY.
If Pine county is not to hav
a nurse in 1922 there is no say
: ing that we may not have on

one bid with little slice for
each? The Hinckley News even
went so far as to borrow his
type on the county printing at
fair to the Willow River paper
so that it might get little more
publicity.
The News wrote as follows
last week:
''As will be seen in this
issue of The News, the news
papers all over the county
are calling their readers at
tention to the manner in
which the county commits
sioners are spending their
money. Perhaps this will
wake the voters up and
they will send men to Pine
City to transact their bust
ness who will be honorable
like Oakland and Hancock"
And a little farther down in
the same column the News gives
out this:
Apparently the county
commissioners do not like
criticism, judging from the
following letter:
Brook Park, Mimi,
Jan. 7th, 1922.
"Hinckley News:
Dear Sir-I don't want
the Hinckley News sent to

The County Nurse.

Editor Colby of Sandstone.
wrote last week as follows: "A
recent article in the Askov
American stated that the editor
would not discuss the merits of
the county nurse proposition.
but there are a few who would
like to have him do that very
thing. to know where he stands
on such an important issue"
The American stated in its is
sue Of Dec. % that I'VE are not
here going to enter into a dis
cussion on the county nurse pro-
position--whether or not the
county commissioners were JUS
titled in voting it down"-mean-
ing that we would not discuss it
in that issue owing to lack Of
time and space.
We are certainly pleased to
know that Editor Colby wishes
to have our opinion on the mat
ter and feel quite elated over
such a request. We have as yet
not seen or heard any express
sions by the county press on
this matter-only a few lines
such as its awful to think that
the county commissioners voted
down this proposition" or the
like. The newspapers of the
county that have written any
thing on the matter have not
gone into the merits of the case,
simply given the commissioners
. few slams.
The American is Of the opin-
ion that it is a good thing to
have a county nurse. especially
when we have one like Miss Nj
coll who appears to take a great
interest in her duty-and in eve
ry sense Of the word appears to
be a modest and good woman
who while coming in contact
with hundreds. yes even thou,
sands Of Pine connty's children
naturally sets a good example
She is neat in her appearance
not loud in dress and if she i.
q, good nurse-which we believe
she isis Just the kind Of ,
woman 10 have in a public Office
succn as that.
But why get so excited be
cause the commissioners turne'
that down? Because the print
ers are not getting anything on
of the county printing this yea
they are bringing up the count
nurse proposition and other mat
tiers and raking down the CON
missioners. Why play politics
The county nurse proposition hs
nothing to do with the count
printing and it is only sma
stuff to continually hammer tt
commissioners on the count
nurse proposition because II
printers did not get q bite !
the county printing. Discuss Il
county nurse proposition on i
merits and not as polite
football.
AS above stated the Americ,

so great that plans are already pro-
jected for even Il bigger season next

leading position In southern NUM-
