DIR. MARY A. D0WNER

Mary Alice Downer was born on a
farm near River Falls September 10,
1868, and entered into rest January
20, 1924.
Her girlhood and much of her
womanhood was spent in this vicinity.
She graduated from the River Falls
Normal school and from the North
western Medical school in Chicago.
1t was her early ambition to become
a missionary, but because OF impair
ed health was unable to take up the
work, though she never lost her in
terest and gave it her financial sup
port.
She spent four years as a student in
the office of DR.. T. w. Ashley here,
and after obtaining her degree was
associated in the general practice with
her old friend and advisor four more
years.
In 1903 DIR. Downer and her mother
removed to Seattle, Wash, where she
engaged in the general practice OF
medicine. In 1910 she realized long
cherished desire and spent the sr-m-
mer studying in Vienna, Austria.
Soon after returning to Seattle hei
health again became impaired and she
returned gain to the home arc
friends of her early days.
After long struggle with disease
she recovered to the extent that IL
was able to again take up her Pre-
fession, and in 1918 she onened ar
office in st. Paul, where she practicet
until few days before her death.
While still in the prime of life as
to years we feel that she has lived
full life; she has finished her task
her life is complete.

THE GAME

Senator La Toilette may not be
for me, and may endorse Blaine, but
/ am for Senator La Toilette, and
have been for twenty years." says
Lieutenant Governor Comings who is
here today in the inter ests of his
campaign for governor. Il believe
that the Dahl bill, the Severson bill
and the finance committe compromise
bill would have carried out the plat
form pledges of the La Toilette pro-
gressives," asserts Mr.. Comings.
There you have an indication of the
brand of politics being played in Wis
cousin. Comings wants the La Fol-
lette label. And although he did not
carry OFT the La Toilette campaign
promises, Bob has an inkling that
Blaine will carry the votes and there
fore endorses Blaine, regardless of
principle.
It shows conclusively that the
building up of a political machine IS
the main objective with the "pro-
gressive" leaders, and the affairs Of
state receive secondary consideration,
if any.

THEY WANT MORE PAY

The progressive" legislators who
went tn Madison last session pledged
to reduce state expenditures voted a
nronosed constitutional amendment
which will, if passed by the voters OF
the state next April, treble their own
salaries. That session most certainly
did not disclose and Legitimate reason
for advancing the pay OF any OF IT'S
members. The time was spent III an
attempt to harmonic the factions IN
a political machine, and little or 10
thought was given to matters corr
corning state government. This same
gang Of politicians all plan to re-
t.-rn to Madison at the next session.
and want more pay for the time they
spend playing politics. If it was a
matter of paying good men adequate
CONDENSATION for time spent IN
honestly trying to conduct the state
legislative affairs we would be IN
favor of the proposed amendment
but so long as the capitol is to be the
playground of politicians it is just
as well to keep their game on the
same financial footing as any other
amateur sport.

WANTED, AN OPTOMIST

The impression universally gained
from the last series of campaign
speeches was that the farmer is a
lowly individual, HOPELESS, helpless ana
physically and financially wreck,
totally incapable of self-support and
du,mbly reliant upon some Hercuaean
stroke of freak legislation to save him
from ignomimious and complete an
initiation. (And as the politician
promptly forgot the farmer right
after election it is to be presumed
that "the end has Gomez.
This wear we would like to see just
one (it is too much to expect more)
candidate stand out and tell the truth
about the farmer as well as about
other matters concerning our govern
ment. Whether this candidate be
for Congress or for Street Commits
sioner we would delight in hearing
him present an optomistic viewpoint.
l. would be delightfully."- refreshing
for instance to hear him express a
conviction that the farmer IS human
has a mind of his own, can raise cab
bages. corn and livestock with the
same intelligent enthusiasm that 9TH
err business men put into their voca-
tious: that he understands the things
no sees, hears and reads probably with
clearer vision than the average per-
son; that he is alert to create and taK>
advantage of modern inventions; that
he eniovs contact with his neighbors
and has good, warm friends wherever
he is known; that the farmer really
lives and has his being.
Then, to cap off beatlticai'
we would like to hear our mythical
candidate prove further that truth IS
even stranger than fiction by admit
ting that he is not out to abolish all
taxes land at the same time provide
graft jobs for his political alliances;
that he does not promise to divide
the millionaire's wealth with those
who vote for hhn): but that he is ous
to conduct the business of this office
Nth the same efficiency that he wei
put into his own private enterprise,
and that the game of politics was en-
tirely out of his line.
Yes, it would be indeed refreshing
to hear some sincere campaigning
along those lines. But the candida' :
woulden't get votes ENOUGH to make
the baIloting worth the effort.
