WARNING TO H

The warning given by the police to the bathers who persist in
walking through the city in onepiece bathing suits is timely. What
is perfectly proper on a bathing beach is utterly out of place on
the main streets of a city. The least a bather who desires to go
home to change from his bathing suit to his street clothes can do
Is to put on a bathrobe. Some of the suits are nothing but trunks
We see no objection to them for bathing, however, but they are de-
cidedly out of place and disgusting for promenading through the
city. Perth Amboy is not fastidious in these matters, but there
IS q limit to all things. The police ruling should be strictly en-
forcsd. ssk -

Alex Miller Gives
Excellent Talk
IOWA EDITOR KEEPS AUDIENCE
ENTERTAINED WHILE HE PUTS
OVER SPLENDID MESSAGE.

Alex Miller, who gave the third lee
ture course number at the Armory
Monday evening, held the enthusiastic
attention of the well-filled house while
he discussed the Other Side of Main
Street for an hour and half-and no
member of that audience showed any
sign of WEAKNESS when the talk ceas-
ed.
Mr.. Miller did not confne himself
closely to answering Mr. Sinclair's
novel, Main Street, although he did
discuss the book sufficiently to make
his audience realize if they had not
realized it before, how extremely un-
true as well as unkind the book, is in
its presentation of small town life.
Mr.. Miller rather used the book as a
background for his informal talk about
the humanity and inhumanity of plain
folks, of the need of greater spiritual
ity in all the concerns of life, of schools
and churches as the biggest factors of
civilization, of tolerance in our atti-
tudes toward races and religions, of
the truer patriotism and of the joy and
beauty of lives lived considerably
wholesomely and with the ideal of SER
vice.
Mr.. Miller's talk was marked with
a droll humor which was much deeper
than his apt way of telling humorous
story-although his way of doing this
was remarkably "apt" His humor
rather came from serene conscious
ness of the fun to be had out of life,
Of the necessity of not taking himself
nor other human beings too seriously,
and this, with his quaint directness of
appeal, added much to the force with
which he made his hearers feel the
truth of his thoughts. While in no
sense great lecturer, his talk had a
wonderful charm, splendid vitality
and will be remembered long by all
those who heard it.

Death Penalty
Laws introduced
THREE BILLS INTRODUCED RE-
vIvING CAPITAL PUNISHMENT;
ORE TAX SHOWS UP.

The outstanding feature of the first
days of last week, in the Minnesota
legislature, is the appearance of sew
eral bills to restore capital punish
ment in this state. Senator j. d. Sui
livan, chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee in the senate, and Representa-
tive j. B. Pattison, chairman of the
house judiciary committee, are joint
authors of one bill, which imposes the
death penalty on all persons found
guilty of murder in the first degree,
unless saved by the state board of
pardons; the manner of carrying out
the sentence is determined by the
court Another bill provides for the
death sentence only in the case of
murders committed in connection with
rape holdups and burglaries. A third
bill limits the manner of execution to
electrocution at the state prison. A
determined fight, under able leader
ship, will be made for the passage of
the Sullivan Pattison bill and not a
few legislators anticipate its passage.
Three of the women representatives
are opposed to capital punishment in
any form, but the fourth, Mrs. Hough
of Minneapolis, favors it except in
cases where the verdict is based on
circumstantial evidence
Another outstanding development is
the appearance of bills imposing a
royalty tax on iron ore. The Bendixen
bill provides for tax of six per cent;
the Welch bill imposes a ten percent
tax, and third bill, by Representative
N. 7. MOen, imposes a royalty tax of
eight per cent, not only upon ore, but
also upon sand and gravel.
Both the house and the senate are
now fully organized, the senate COM
mittees being announced Tuesday and
the house committees Monday. The
number of committees has been re-
duced in each branch; the senate now
having 80, the house 43. This will
probably make for greater efficiency.

DR.. Adams Buys
Practice Again
FORMER MORGAN PHYSICIAN
RETURNS TO OLD FIELD. DIR.
HASKINS TO NORTHFIELD.

DIR. j. L. Haskins of Morgan sold
his medical practice at Morgan last
week to DIR. j. L. Adams of Van Nuyes,
California. DIR. Haskins has purchas-
ed an office practice at Northfield and
left last Sunday for his new location
where he will begin work at once.
During the interim between his leav-
ing and DIR. Adams arrival, Drs.
Finn, Cole and Finn of Redwood Falls
are taking care of the Morgan prac-
tice, one of the three being there
each day.
A little less than two years ago
DIR. Adams disposed of the Morgan
practice, going to, California with his
family and undertaking the operation
of a chicken and poultry ranch there.
Recently he has been taking post
graduate course in California medi-
cal school and was about to reenter
the profession in California when DR..
Haskins telegraphed that he was
about to leave Morgan and consequ-
emily DR.. Adams old practice was
again open to him.
DR.. Adams is expected to arrive at
Morgan sometime within month.
Residents of the village are prepared
to welcome his return most heartily.
For twenty-five years he was the
physician of Morgan and community
and no other person could quite take
his place among the older residents
there. DR.. Haskins also made many
friends while in Morgan and these
friends sincerely regret his departure
even while they welcome the return of
DIR. Adams Mrs. Haskins and the
children will remain in Morgan for a
few weeks until home is secured in
Northfield.

Women Protest
NimoCks Jury Bill
SERVICE ON "SALACIOUS CASES"
MOST NECESSARY. STATE vOT-
ERS LEAGUE SAYS.

Frank E. Nimocks' House File No.
has drawn the fire Of the Minnesota
League Of Women Voters, which has
issued circular letter opposing pass
age of the BILL Supposedly framed in
the right to claim exemption from
serving on juries trying "salacious
cases." the bill is declared by the
league to be decidedly unwelcome!
"The presence of women on juries in
such cases is particularly necessary,
said the letter issued. "The important
consideration, in these, as in all other
cases, is not for the sensibilities and
preferences of the jurors, but for jus
tice to the accused and to society.
"By deliberately raising the question
of delicacy, the amendment advances
the assumption in the law itself that
women will not serve and therefore
makes it difficult to do so even when
their conviction is that women should
be represented on the jury. Incidents
have been related to us in which wo-
men have found themselves embar-
rassed because the court assumed that
in cases of sex offense a nice woman
would wish to be excused. This is
likely to be the effect of such an
amendment in fact, and to tend to pre-
vent the presence of women on the
very cases when their presence is most
necessary"
The bill also provides for excusing
women who are needed to care for
their children. The leagues bulletin
said this exemption was favored two
years ago but was not included in the
law, and experience has shown that
it is not necessary, as judges always
grant excuses from service in such
cases.-Minneapol Journal.

Sunday Schools
Help Near East
DIR. WHITE REPORTS OF GOOD
CHRISTMAS WORK: SPECIAL
DAY NAMED.

Minnesota's contributions to the
1923 Near East relief fund already
total approximately 100000 accord
ing to an announcement by DIR. Geo.
f. White, state director of Near re-
lief work in Minnesota. This amount
includes the proceeds of statewide
Sunday School Christmas collection.
and special holiday campaigns waged
in Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Duluth.
Incomplete returns show that the
Sunday schools of the state raised
more than $3.50 for the support of
Near East orphans through their
Christmas collections, DIR. White said.
The largest contribution was made by
the Baptist Sunday School of Man
kato, which collected $500, practically
enough to support 10 orphans for one
year. The Hennepin Ave. Methodist
Sunday School in Minneapolis made
the second largest contribution,
amounting to $164.00.
The churches of various denomina-
tions throughout the state have been
asked by their national executive
bodies to make plans for a special
field day to be conducted in the inter-
est of the Near East relief appeal in
January, DIR. White announced. The
date of this special Near East relief
field day in the Congregational, Pre-
sbyterian and Baptist churches al
ready has been set for Sunday, Janu-
ary 81. Funds will be sought in
churches of those denominations on
that day to swell Minneseta's contribu-
ton to Near East Emergency relief
