ROADS OF 1904 AND 1924

Twenty years ago, in going to Or
tonville from Minneota, we drove by
team to Marshall. From there we
took the Great Northern noon train
to Granite Falls and there changed to
the Milwaukee, arriving in Ortonville
late in the afternoon.
When we made the trip in July this
summer we drove by automobile
along the graveled roads of the Bah
cock system and made it by easy
stages in about three hours.
What a difference.
Think of the mud roads of twenty
years ago and then look at the gray
eled roads of today.
Who wants to go back to the old
system of roads?
Look at the fine farm homes along
the road today. See the herds OF
blooded cattle. See the barns and
silos. Contrast the farmers convey
ances with those Of twenty years age
the automobile on the graveled
road today, the old team trudging
through the mud twenty years ago
Contrast the heavy drudgery and the
hand labor of twenty years ago with
the same work done by machinery

brought revision. It is worthy of
note that the war time President
had more power than any other man.
1t is generally known that consid-
cradle legislation has failed of pas
sage because Congress was very shy
about comforting authority upon any
Federal body not directly subject to
it's control Those who favor the re-
tention of the powers now possessed
by the Chief Executive say that it is
essential that this authority should be
maintained in the interest of good adj
ministration. There are some who
will undoubtedly make political cap
ital from this issue but in broad
sense it is not a party question. A
multitude of remedies have been pre-
scribed but none have been accepted
It is said that the inevitable tendency
of every system of self-government is
to exalt the representative body. II
is the various interpretations of the
Constitution that produce friction in
government.
A special report from the Depart
ment of Agriculture issued this week
shows that the farm product prices
are higher now than they have been
during the past At months. Accord
ing to this report they are reaching
the pre-war parity with other COM
modities and the rise in grain prices
is regarded as most helpful.
1t is reported here that organiza-
tons throughout the country are TAX
ing an active interest in proposed tax
legislation. Not satisfied with the
provisions of the recent tax law there
is a movement under way to make
further revisions of the income taxes.
The business interests feel that the
maximum surtaXes should be reduced
in order to induce men of wealth to
invest their funds in stocks of manu-
featuring corporations instead of in
tax-exempt securities. 1t is notice
able in the majority of districts that
candidates for reelection to Con-
gress are avoiding the tax issue,
claiming that the present law is cas-
lily enforceable and satisfactory.
President Coolidge is reported to
have accepted recommendations of
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon to
use his influence in bringing about a
revision along the lines of the Mellon
plan which was rejected by Congress
and the present law substituted.
1t is apparent that plans of Senator
Couzens, Republican, of Michigan, to
investigate the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, Prohibition Unit, will be
held up until the elections. 1t was
his original intention to force his
inquiry on the eve of the elections
but other committee members have
found excuses to stay his hand for
a time, believing in this instance at
least, that representation will be
more effective politically than a
rough-shod investigation.

"Fair Week." a Paramount comedy
drama, directed by Rob Wagner,
which will be shown Saturday eve-
ming at the Caughren Theatre.
Miss Wilson, a vivacious young
ster just out of high school, has all
the charm of her more prominent
sister and shows rare promise OF
future stardom.
Her experience in motion pictures
has been limited to 'The Covered
Wagon" in which she took minol
part merely for the fun of it. In
her role of a settler girl of '48, how
ever, she showed a natural capacity
for acting, which readily won he1
the opportunity in "Fair Week" II
which she plays the role OF Ollie
Remus, daughter of the mayor OF the
town Of Rome, Mo.
In appearance she is slight in
genuous type, with a sweet roguisf
face set off by masses of golden
brown wavy hair. Naturally athletic
her smiling blue eyes carry in then
the look Of the typical modern mis-:
little wonder she plays the part sc
we'll in "Fair Week"

today. Not that there is not enough
hard work, enough drudgery today,
but surely there is difference when
we look at what the machines today
are doing which twenty years ago
had to be done by the power of the
human arm.
There were few telephones in use
through this territory twenty years
ago. Only some villages had tele-
phone systems hardly a rural tele-
phone line anywhere.
Twenty years ago there were
mighty few rural mail routes any
where. There were far fewer and
much poorer houses than today. There
was no system of drainage of farm
lands. There were few creameries
and little in the line of cooperative
enterprises.
The photograph, now a common
thing and to be found in almost every
home, was then quite rare. The wire
less and the radio were unknown.
There was no bus transportation
and out in this section of the country,
we had never seen flying machine
of any kind.
These are but few Of the differ
ences of now and then.
We will not enter into an argument
as to whether people are any happier
today than they were twenty years
ago. Happiness is a relative term
and means one thing to one man and
quite another to someone else.
The thing that makes one man hap
ply may have no power to move anoth-
er along the line of the same emotion.
But surely it cannot be denied that
there has been progress progress to
the end that men and women may live
more in less Minneota Mascot.

Prosecution Wants C. Q. Barring
 Given Examination

White Plains, x. Y. June 30.-The prosecution today prevailed tHon Judge Bleakley to appoint alenists 70 examine Clarence 0. Barring, on trial for the attempted murder of his wife. The trial was adjourned until tomor- TOW and Barring was turned over to the alicnists.
 When court convened today and Charles F.. Long, attorney for the de- fense, had renewed his motion for 2 dismissal Of the indictment and Judge Bleakley denied it. District Attorney Rowland, asserting that the defense obviously was to be insanity. asked the appointment of the alienists.
 A forty-five minute conference of the judge, the opposing attorneys and alienists in the court room, was fol. lowed by the appointment of Dr. George Kirby, professor at the Cor nell university medical school, and Dr. William L. Russell, of the Bloomira dale asylum at White Plains.
 Barring, his hands and face twitch- ing almost continually during his short stay in the court room, took no active part in the proceedings. Mrs. Barring also was there, accompanied hy niece. Miss Georgianna Griffiths, of Providence, R. I.

New York City, June 3O.--It ap- pears to me that this coming to New York Is going to do the delegates more harm than good.
 Twas after 10 o'clock last night when l looked out my bedroom win dow and saw a lot of delegates loafing around on the corners. Perhaps it isn't their fault, though. They haven't even got curfcw here. You have to keep looking at your watch to know when it's bedtime.
 And another thing l have noticed is the carelessness about lights, in the hotel and on the streets. No won- der the taxes are high. Why. I woke up around 1 o'clock this morning and the lights were still burning.
 I suppose the man who takes care of them forgot to turn them out There's sign in my room about turning off the lights. They ought to put one on every lamp post.
 At the conventional hall today everybody got excited about some thing or other. They started para ding around and knocked over lot of chairs.
