cans. They condemned the Mime
apolis council for giving an official
welcome to an ex-convict from Leav-
enworth prison. One Dental, who was
convicted for obstruction OF war ac-
tiyities and sedition utterances. The
most interesting thing was the adop-
tion OF a resolution from the Leslie
Lawrence Post of the st. Paul Legion.
The Leslie Lawrence Post was repre-
sented by Atty. Geo. w. Hamilton. Jr.
Mr.. Hamilton was assured OF, the sup
port OF the Minnesota delegation. TO

may obtain proper attention.
BE 1T RESOLVED. That the Fed
eral government should carry out its
original plan and place complete
Negro personnel of doctors and nurs-
es in the Veterans hospital at Tuske-
gee, Alabama.
However, should this appear i'm
practicable, then be it FURTHER
RESOLVED that suitable location
for the hospital for colored veterans

made. The work will begin after the

work. The eastern cities have enjoyed
the benefits of the great organization
so II Is necessary that the people Of
our city give their best support In
making the work grand success.

The Twin Cities are sharing honors
in helping our many summer visitors
to find the Eden" spots of Minpe-
sofa. No park in the two cities or
the many surrounding pleasure re-
sorts have escaped the camera snap
shots Of the pleasure seekers. To the
happiness of all concerned this has
been an ideal season SO far; cool eve
ming and warm days have placed a
never to be forgotten influence over
them and plans are being made by
some to spend next season here
among newly found friends.
August Popular Month
Seemingly this month has gather
ed larger quota OF tourists than
any of the preceding ones. Repre-
sentatives of New York, California,
Michigan. Missouri, Illinois, Iowa.
Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Georgia,
North and South Dakota. Montana
and several other states are all agree
ing that Minnesota is the playground
of America. The month of August
is usually heralded as a month of va
g; tons 30 this year Is true to tradi-
ton in giving recreation to hundreds
of tired minds and bodies. The cos
mopolitan atmosphere of the Twin
Cities together with their natural
pleasure possessions will be of much
incentive for return trips.
Social Events Too
Tramps and car rides have not
been the only recreating possibilities
as much time has been given dances,
parties, excursions and many week
end visits. The Twin Cities have es-
tablished themselves as a mecca for
tourists. Another asset is that chap
ters Of the leading college fraternities
and sororities are established here.
The collegiate guest have not had
occasion to forget their fraternal con-
nection while sojourning in the city.
Teas for the girls and appropriate
meetings for the boys have been ad-
for the school group.
We are always glad to have our
guests enjoy themselves and the Twin

QUICK WORK WITH RADIO

One of the latest uses for radio
communication is to quickly locate
trouble on electric transmission lines.
On the Northern States Power
Company Load Dispateher's System
report dated January 80, 1928. ap-
pears this notation: est. Croix pole
and power lines tripped both ends
at 1855 D. m. In o. X. at 2:05."
Behind this prosiac statement is
hidden something which is of de-
cided interest to the public and to
power companies. When these two
Croix transmission lines tripped out,
both telephone lines were put out
of commission. The superintendent
of the service department lost no
time in getting to a radio set, and
upon tuning in, Immediately heard
the wireless operator at st. Croix
calling Minneapolis. BY means of
radio telephone communication, the
trouble on the transmission lines was
cleared up, and both lines were back
in service within ten minutes.

RIGHT TO "CUSS" THE GOVERN
MENT

The safeguard OF America is free
press, free speech and free courts.
The Chicago Tribune severely
criticized the city administration of
Chicago and the public officials sued
it for $1,0OO.OO0 damages on ground
that they were the city.
In upholding and defining the
rights of the press, the State Su-
preme Court holds that sit is a fund
amental principle of the American
government that every citizen has a
right to cditicize the government or
violation of law. Liberty of the
press is the same thing as freedom
of speech"
This is sound reasoning. The suit
was apparently an effort on the part
of public officials to intimidate other
newspapers of lessfinancial resour-
ees and courage than the Tribune.
This decision does not mean that
newspapers of less financial resour-

GAME LAW vIOLAT0RS SHOULD
BE PUNISHED

Complaint has reached the Repub-
lican that some of our citizens have
been rushing the trout season, and
have been making catches of con-
siderable size. No names have been
mentioned in Connection with these
violations, so nothing. of course,
can be done to punish those who
have so little regard for the fish
and game laws of the state.
These laws have not ben passed
to work a hardship on those who take
delight in getting out in the open
with rod and gun, They have been
enacted so that the people of Idaho
may continue to enjoy these oppor-
tunities. The trout are now run
ming up the streams for the purpose
of spawning, and the killing of fish
at this time means the destruction
or thousands of prospective trout.
AS a matter of fact the closed season
of two months is too short.
The appointment of a game war
den for this section is matter
which has been allowed to lanquish
too long. We need one right now,
and we hope that Governor Moore
will see that competent man is APP
pointed without further delay.

BOB PRESSEY ON
THE ANGLER

The angler is a patient soul, of
virtues he has many; he wanders
out with line and pole, and worms,
if there are any. All day he wades
in waters deep, Ger gravelbars and
fences, a happy, carefree "walk-a-
heap" untroubled by expenses. He
ambles forth at break of day, before
the chickens cackle, to meet the
fishes out at play and lure them with
his tackle. The fisherman does work
enough to make a mule go groggy;
his clothes are dirty, course and
rough, his biscuits cold and soggy,
but he still wears the happy grin
betokening contentment, and even
if he tumbles in he shows but slight
resentment. 1t matters not if rain
or shine brings forth the new days
greeting, he's up and gone just feel
ing fine, and hours soon are fleeing.
There's nothing now to worry bout,
the only thing that's pressing, is
geeting out among the trout and
reaping natures blessing. Though
trudging on for miles and miles until
his limbs grow weary, his face re-
mains bedeeked with smiles, his dis
position CHEEKY. Luck might be bad,
the pickin' slim, but this there is no
the day has been a joy to
him, he's had a dandy outing.

HOME OWNERS VS.. RACE SUICIDE

Periodically we read something
about race suicide in this and other
countries.
The latest statement is in our own
United State that apartment house
life will be the cause of decrease in
our own population. There is no
question about that, for the average
apartment allows only dogs, not
children.
The remedy is to urge our people
to move out of the congested dis
tricts and build themselves little
homes on the abundance of cheap
residential property that surrounds
all of our great cities.
This would accomplish two results:
first, a home owner makes a better
citizen because he has an interest
in our government and becomes fl
nancially more independent than the
rent payer; second, it would help to
hold down and maybe reduce the in
flated values for a large portion of
apartment house property and rents.
The average apartment house rent of
from SIS to $3.50 month would
soon pay for fine house for any
family.
An, honest architect and contrac-
tor can put up house cheaper to-
day in proportion to your income
than would have been possible in
1918. Don't let the high rent artists
scare you about building. They build
and are making money off of you.
You can build and pay that money
to yourself and at the end of ten
years save valuable asset instead
If some worthless rent receipts.

EASTER ISLAND

Reports that Easter Island had

The last definite report was made by
the captain of a French merchant
ship, who devlared he found nothing
but water at the position given to
