Oh. my. I can still hear in my imagina-
lay sick. and he called mother and told

Dear Aunt Julia and Friends: When we
lived at Winter Garden, Fla, some of my
friends gave me some bddes and when l
left there 1 had five bddies. My father
moved twelve miles of Deland, Fla, and
homesteaded in Lake county. Then my
hens began to lay and set I raised sew
enty chickens in 1923. This year L have
gotten fifteen eggs a day from two dozen
hens. The lakes are pretty in Lake county,
guess my age, it is between six and fiji
teen. l in the fourth grade. How
many of you like to go flower picking?
of wild flowers. The ferns in the swamp
are three feet high, and the sweetgum
trees in the st. Johns river swamp have
already put out their green leaves this
spring. l would like to hear from every
one OF you.

money to the extent of nearly $15,-
900, 900. The commission was auth
orized to borrow up to $4,000, 900
for state loaning purposes and against
this amount it has issued about $780,
600, 900 in bonds. To speak plainly the
commission, and the law for that
matter, it is not without its critics.
There has been much whispering that
politics and favoritism have been per-
mitted to interfere and the state
stands to own a number of farms In
the near future as result. One
story brought to the capitol this
week was that Northern Minnesota
farmer after securing a loan OF $4,-
900 from the commission abandoned
his holdings and moved, to Wisconsin.

NO TEAPOT DOME FOR
MINNESOTA

In view of the fact that the United
States has begun legal proceedings to
recover over a million dollars claimed
to be due from the Backus-Brooks
ueople as unpaid income taxes, Re
pubiicans of the state are interested
in learning what will be the attitude
of Senator VIM. F. Brooks, OF MIME
apolis, member of the Backus-
Brooks firm, and now candidate Tor
national committeeman from this
state.
Inasmuch as the charge seems to
involve more than mere matter OF
bookkeeping, there is feeling that
the right thing for Senator Brooks to
do is to withdraw from the race In
order to relieve the party of the en-
barrassment of his candidacy for the
position. The national committee
man would naturally be in a posi-
ton of influence in national affairs,
and there is no question that no mat
ter how honestly Senator Brooks
might seek to serve the party as ma
tional committeeman, his every &C
ton would be open to hostile criti-
cism from opposition sources. and his
election would act as a mill stone
around the neck of the Minnesota G..
o. P. i'm the coming campaign.
It is to be hoped that Senator
Brooks will show his party loyalty
and prove his good citizenship, by
withdrawing from the contest with
out further delay.

of letters and kilograms from every
town in his district, expressing their
faith in his innocense, and his SPLEEN
did character.
Perhaps the most reprehensible
thing in the whole proceedings is the
circulation of the indictment, most
vilely worded, that has been to some
extent distributed by the Farmer-La-
Dor politicians, with which they were
prepared to flood the district in case
of his conviction, in the hope OF
electing a member of that party to
congress. 1t is even possible that they
may resort to these tactics in quiet
and underhanded way, in the at
tempt to poison the minds OF the
susceptible.
Another unpleasant incident was
the way the st. Cloud Times spread
the news of the arrest and indictment
over its front page in big black
screaming headlines. 1t was not only
a vicious thing to do, to thus gloat
over the accusation against home
man, unjustly charged, but it was
rank ingratitude on the part OF It's
publisher. It was only few years
ago that Mr.. Schliplin was himself
indicted by federal grand jury, and
was removed as postmaster by the
Democratic attorney general, before
he. like Mr.. Knutson, was indicated
by a jury. Congressman knutson
went before the attorney general not
only in company with Mr.. Schllpiln,
hut at other times, and protested
against his removal pending his trial,
doing what he could for him, even go
ing to Chicago and testifying as a
good character witness.
Notwithstanding this hlghmnded
attitude of Harold Knutson, the Times
has lost no opportunity to traduce
him before it's readers.
1t is not necessary to say that Har.
old Knutson has been a most efficlent
and faithful congressman. Both ne
and the people of this district are To

It is a sad state of affairs and mol
very complimentary to the honesty

when a district judge must apologize
for the shortcomings and mistakes OF

case in Arlington, Va, on Thursday
when the trial judge in the case
against Congressman Knutson ex
pressed regret and asked the Mime
sofia congressman not to judge the
state of Virginia by the acts of few
If it's individuals. This statement in
itself, coming from a man VINO wa

SAD SHOCK TO SCANDAL
MONGERS

The complete vindication of Con-
gresham Harold Knutson by a Vir-
-ginia jury, is as gratifying to all de-
cent minded people, as it is a sad
shock to the few who gloat over the
misfortune attending any public man.
The arrest on most serious
charge, by stupid and bullheaded
patrol,nen, the vicious prosecution by
the state attorney, can only be ex-
planned as a reflex of the notoriety
gained by few Of the senators in
pushing a series of investigations,
mostly on mere suspicion. Virginia
lis clcse to Washington, and the state
attorney probably reasoned that
could he convict a congressman on
any sort Of evidence, he would be-
co,1e national figure in the Senator
Wheeler class.
Some of the questions asked is
proof that there are few scandal
mongers back home. He tried to
prejudice the jury by asking about
an alleged occurrence at Foley back
in 191c, with no evidence to back up
his questions, and which was a pure
fabrication from some evil mind.
the jury promptly returned YER
dict of not guilty, which was APP
plauded by the spectators hearing the
testimony, and the judge asked Mr..
Knutson not to Judge the people of
Virginia by few officials.
Knutson had the support and con-
fideace of all the members of the
house, Democrats as well as Republic
cans.
II is q pitiful thing that some peo-
pie arc ready to believe the worst
of humanity and credit the most alb
surd rumors. On the other hand the
greater number Of people are fair
minded. Knutson received bushels
