ARE YOU A VOTER OR A STACKER?

ri am not of those who believe that we
should pass statute to fine a for
not voting l would not punish man for
failing to exercise his great privilege citi-
l would simply take the privilege from him,
unless he could give legitimate excuse for not
voting. | do not that l would perpetually
dsfranchise him for unexcused failure to
vote. l would disfranchise him for two years;
and if when his right to vote again restored,
he again failed without excuse to VOTE | would
dsfranchise him for four years. On the third
offense unexplained and unexcused, l would dis
franchise him altogether. Those who select cleo
ton day to play the golf links without going
to the polls are not worthy of the priceless pri-

SUCH is FAME

~. .Valdimar Bjornson of Minneota a son of
X the we'll known Minneota editor, won the
= - tri-state oratorical contest held recently
in ST. Paul, including prize of 81 900 and the
right to participate in the Midwest contest at
Kansas City The attendance at the ST. Paul
contest was great that two theaters were fill
ed and the contestants had to repeat their ora
lions at the overflow meeting
To be the champion high school orator of
three states is an honor worthy of MENTION to
say nothing of the 81, 900 prize won by Young
Bjornson. And yet when we looked in our ia
vorite Minneapolis paper the next day to see
who won the contest, we failed to find line
about it. But on the second day following we
found that this metropolitan daily had discovered
who won first prize and gave him a six or seven
line mention, emitting mention of the other win
ners Such is fame! And in the same paper
we found prominently displayed the pictures of
young ladies whose only claim to distinction was
that they had poured tea at social function,
served on committee for the sale of peoples, at
tended bride at wedding and, in one instance,
the picture of an Iowa girl was shown just be-
cause she was visiting friend in Minneapolis
If you want to gain recognition in the metro

you will have to do something of a ridiculous ma
ture to gain place in the sun. Of course if
your folks are very rich, you have your pic
ture taken at Palm Beach or Hot Springs, Va,
and it will appear in the rotogravure section of
the Sunday paper, especially if taken in bath
ing suit. But don't try to be the champion ora
tor of the state several states for in the eyes
of some metropolitan EDITORS such feat entities

you may look like. Your picture is not worth
