Deputy Pfleger, in a Statement to
Catholics, declared they need not
be intimidated by the warning.
The Catholics regard the estab-

in which religion would not be
taught at all.

to the farmer. It was built to give
rural America a cross section of ev-

Ten special agricultural features
have been added to the weekly pro-
grams in addition to the regular
farm talks and market and weather
forecasts.
More than 200 speakers have
brOadcasted messages to the farm
er. Every subject dealing with
farm production, farm management,
agricultural economics and cooper
alive marketing have been discussed
by agricultural thinkers, leading
lawyers and financial experts.
Farm women leaders from more
than a dozen states have been in
vited to Chicago to give a series Of
talks of interest to farm women.
Community club leaders and boys
and girls club members have ex-
changed ideas.
The first cooperative marketing
course ever brOadcasted is being
furnished Tuesday and Friday
nights. Leaders in cooperative
marketing work from all parts of
the United States are taking part
in these programs. Farm short
course schools lasting from two to
five weeks are being conducted.
These cover a variety of topics,
from dairying and poultry raising
to farm crop marketing. With ev-

Busy Session
The regular monthly meeting o.
the Harrington Fire Co. was held OF
/ Tuesday evening with President
Harmstead in the chair. The meeting
opened with the approval of the
minutes that had been read and roll
call. A good number of the firemeI
were present. All bills outstanding
were ordered paid. The discussion Of
new apparatus then took place, and
after getting expressions from most
everyone present a committee OF
three was appointed to devise some
means of adding to the fire engine
fund which has been started by the
local company. On vote of the COM
pany $4,000 of their checking fund
was placed to the credit of the en-
CINE fund. A report of the commit
tee who waited on Town Council, as
to what they expected to do toward
the engine funi, made = brief re-
DJit. On their first visit the commit
tee left the council rooms with the
understanding that probably the
sum of one thousand dollars a year
would be added to the fund by COun-
Gil. Later they wer2 advised that
Council had discussed the PROPOSE
ton and made the statement that
they would contribute $500 to the
fund if possible. The committee now
feels that they are very much in the
dark, with no chance to enter bill
for two years to provide funds to
purchase with and only a small
amount from Council and the pres
ent apparatus fast depreciating. 1t
looks like Harrington will probably
suffer an increase in insurance rates
due to their having inadequate fire
equipment. The committee is still
trusting that council will see it's
way clear to stick to their first prop
osition.

NO CHANCE TO SIDESTEP.
(St. Cloud Journal-Press)

est. Cloud Journal-Press)
Here's case reported by one of
the esteemed ladies of the city:
One day last week at one o'clock,
just as the children were returning
to the Washington school, down the
street came an automobile zigzag-
ging back and forth across the
street, driven by a drunken man.
Fortunately he was seen by one of
the mothers in that neighborhood in
time to warn the hildren and who
kept them off the street until he
and his fiivver had reeled by. But
for this precaution there might have
been sad tragedy.
Asked why the case was not re-
ported to the police the lady ex-
planned that even if the man had
been arrested he probably would
have received only small fine by
one of the city justices, and she did
not think such fine would have
been any lesson to the moonshine
soaked man. The police will APP
preciate the lady's view of the kind
ness handed out to drunken drivers.
Here is the law governing cases
of this class, which drivers should
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-10-23
.arefullya ponder, and justices

carefully PONDER and justices
should enforce:
"Any person who operates
motor vehicle in an intoxicated
condition shall be guilty of a mis-
demeanor, and upon the second
and each subsequent conviction
shall forfeit any license which he
may have to operate a motor veh-
icle under the laws Of this state,
and shall also be prohibited from
operating any motor vehicle upon
the highways for a period of
three months after the date of
such conviction, for the first Of
Tense, and for such period, not
less than three months and not
to exceed one year as shall be
subsequent convictions"
There is a somewhat general be-
lief that drunken drivers are not
told by the courts that they are
prohibited from driving a motor
vehicle for three months or a year,
and shall forfeit their license.
That is the law, and even the
oversight of justice cannot change
the fact. If the justice does not
make that part of the penalty he is
not doing his duty. Notice that
word "shall'. That is mandatory
and legally there can be no evasion
either by the boozed driver or the
official entrusted with enforcing the
law.
Make the streets safe for the
children-and grownups.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-10-23

Into every newspaper Office there
drifts rumors of affairs that would
mean big news-rumors of business
deals in course of consummation,
rumors of big development or build
ing programs being outlined, says a
Florida exchange. The reputable
newspaper investigates these rumors
and interviews the interested parties.
They are often advised that the
story is not ready for publication
that publication at an inopportune
time may hamper negotiations,
might embarrass the parties direct
ly interested.
Reluctantly the reputable news
paper RESPECTS the requests of the
people to whom the story belongs
whose right it is to give it out.
Often they are beaten on the story
by reason of their strict observance
of newspaper ethics. But they
have not brought discredit upon the
profession.
The safest way in the world TO
keep a story out of print is to go tip
the reputable newspaper, tell the
story and then request that it not
be published until released, giving
the reasons for withholding it from
publication. No newspaper has a
right TO embarrass anyone by pre-
mature publication of news item
that should properly come from in
terested parties.
