There is one kind of automobile driver,
and the kind that is quite numerous, that gets
on my nerves-in fact he, or she, as is frequently
the case, gets my goat, to use a popular slang
expression. These drivers the ones who
might be termed inveterate horn honkers, the
ones who seem to think that they own the road
or street and expect everybody and every thing
to jump when they come down the street honklng
their horns as though an instant's delay for
them might mean the loss of a life as WE'LL Car
drivers should extend the courtesy to drivers
of others cars using the streets and to pedes-
TRANS that they would expect to be accorded
themselves, use their horns only when neces-
sary and when driving on congested throurough-
fares have their cars under complete control at
all times Pedestrians have as much right on
cross walks as cars have on the streets.-Hutchln-

One of the most quotable and altogether
most interesting of recent addresses by Ameri-
cans of note was that delivered on commence
ment day at the University of South Carolina
by Bernard M. Baruch. At the outset he struck
a chord of faith and courage highly refreshing
in this too cynical world. Recalling that thirty
six years had passed since his own commence
ment day, and that during that interval he
had engaged in divers fields of activity where
the ambitions and fears and hatreds of men
were touched in the raw" he went on to declare:
TO all I can say frankly that my belief in my
fellow men and in many of the faith of my
youth have remained unchanged. In these fields
it was the men with dreams who succeeded, but
they did not let dreams become their master.
Success does not always come with the personal
or contemporaneous attainment of an object, but
frequently through blazing a trail Of action or
thought over which others can tread to accom-
plshment."
When it is remembered that Mr.. Baruchs
career has carried him into the thick of events in
Wall Street, into the economies and diplomacy
of the great war, and into problems of world,
reconstruction, his still generous belief in hui
mainly and in the potency of ideals is doubly
impressive and peculiar lyinspiring.

PATRIOTISM.

xuyHAT is patriotism? At bottom patriotism
Wis love OF country. It's basis lies in the
w defense of the family and what is neces-
sary for it's welfare This love of home has expand
ed through the centuries to cover first cave
or tent, then village, then a city or state where
great businesses are transacted, and finally a
country inhabited by millions of people, with
their institutions, traditions and ideals. Why
should it stop with country? Surely it should
not, but should embrace all mankind in all parts
of the world. Christianity teaches the brother
hood of man. As man loves his country
he will understand and respect the love other
men have for their countries. "Todays saga Of
patriotism is almost invariably yesterdays tale
of sedition." On the day of her execution as
a spy, Edith Cavel said "This I would say,
standing as 1 do in view of God and eternity;
I realize that patriotism is not enough. l must
have no hatred or bitterness toward any one"
Patriotism is love of country, expressing itself
in loyalty to the ideals for which the country
stands.-Red Wing Eagle.

Perhaps by next year Redwood Falls will
have become wise enough to put ban on all fire
crackers and other menaces of that sort until
July 4th This year, for the past two weeks or
more, children have been permitted.to purchase
and fire these abdominable things to the imminent
danger of themselves and others and to the
discomfort of every citizen in town. Other
towns have prohibited the sale OF these symbols
of patriotism, restricting them to one day only.
1t would be we'll for this thing to be considered
and decided before the Terror of 1926 is upon
u.s. If our children cannot be taught patriotism
without two weeks schooling in how to make a
beastly racket we should say the teaching and
the patriotism are both much at fault. Not
only is it disagreeable, but it also extends the
period of danger which is attached to the fir
ing of any powder-laden trinket, no matter how
small. We know of at least one case this year
where serious accident might have occurred,
this instance actually resulting in one young
man having badly injured hand because of a
firecracker being thrown into the car in which
he was riding. The thing is an atrocity all the
way through. Lets start our civilization right
here at home.

How many Redwood Falls residents OF visl-
tors have stopped to admire and gloat over the
honey, old-fashioned and very beautiful flowers
growing so flourishingly before the City Hall!
Frilled petunias like quaint petticoats OF the
long ago, fashy red geraniums like the grin
of a lip-sticked girl, bachelors buttons just the
color of baby's eyes, a Gamma or two to add
dignity, rose moss that will be like an angels
smile in few short weeks, some "glads' that
we can all watch mature and bloom with as much
pride and pleasure as though they lived in our
own backyard-all of these and more cheer the
pedestrian on Third Street. Planting flowers for
the living is too seldom done. That this bit Of
earth which has hitherto been weed grown so
blossoms and blooms with Gods touch is because
the City Recorder, c. A. Lauterbach, loves
flowers and loves other people to love them.
The City is gratful to "Clem" for making this
spot lovely and rest for eyes and souls.

Once more we have visited northern Mime
sofa and come back more than ever slave to
it's charm of pine and birch, of lake and stream,
of nature in the raw and very beautiful! But
we have also come back with the comprehension
growing upon us that the state is making one
of the biggest mistakes in it's history in not turn
ing those sections where clover and alfalfa thrive
so wonderfully, over to dairy cows instead of to
scattered patches of corn which can never pro-
perly mature, or to little grain fields that are

Fred w. Sargent

Fred w. Sargent, recently elected
president of the Chicago and Northwestern
system, is no mollycoddle. He is a glutton
for work, and has taken hold of the affairs
of the Northwestern in manner that in
dicates what can be expected of man who
believes in action This new head of rail-
road properties valued at 550,000,0 900 is only
forty-nine years old but he is considered one
of the country's experts on railroad rates.
He stepped into prominence last April at
directors meeting. He talked rates then
and he has kept talking them. He insists
that the railroad companies in the northwest
territory are entitled to an increase in freight
rates. An increase Of a few cents in freight
rates would not effect the individual material
ly but decrease in passenger fares would
go long way toward creating more
friendly feeling toward the railroad COM
panies, and incidentally increase the passeng-
er traffic.
s all right Joe! Mr.. Sargent may be al

othing to say about the justice of increasing
he freight rates. But said Sargent started thu
