+ Of all the many fine things Mrs.
Quamme said in her talk to the Par
ents and Teachers of Redwood Falls
she said nothing more vital than that
every town needs accredited and sup
ervised rooming places for its out-of-
town students. She cited a rather
extravagant case in which young
high school girls had entertained their
boy friends in their rooms until an
extremely late hour; and the man of
the house in which they were rooming
had felt no responsibility nor any,
thing else except anger that his prec-
ious slumber had been destroyed.
That seems extreme, and we at first
thought are prone to deny anything
similar ever happening in our own
town. 1t probably never hast pos
sibly never will-but at the same
time it very possibly may At any
rate these young people, both boys
and girls, who come to US from other
communities are entitled to a pro-
tected and protecting place in which
they shall live during their absence
from their own homes. They should
not, for their own welfare and the
welfare of the community, be per-
mitted to stay in any home where
they will have no supervision, where
their health and their morals are not
somebody's responsibility, at least to
a reasonable degree This housing
problem presents problem on which
any Parent Teachers Association may
well exert its strength and its in
genuity.

AMERICAN GIRLS AND IDEALS

= I MAY seem a little late to grow
enthusiastic over the new wo
= man, since she has come to b.
taken as matter of course Some
occasions, however, make reminders
appropriate. One such occasion
Judge Florence E. Allen, of Ohio
found when she spoke before the
young women, assembled during the
recent Girls Week Federation, in
Chicago. AS wonderful, she said in
substance, as was the vision before
Balboa, are the possibilities for I'M
foldment before the woman IN this
age. The responsibilities as we'll as the
Joys of the new freedom are to be
deeply considered. And as, in the
first instance, devotion and toll and
sacrifice were needed to crystalline
the vision into the fact, in new aven-
ues of communication end trade, SO
will fidelity and courage be reauir-
ed of woman, in order to traverse
all the new paths that lie before her.
The American girl who takes her
liberty as she takes her breath may
fittingly be reminded that she can
do so largely because of the faithful
work of the pioneers who first estab-
lished a government which would
preserve the right to worship GOO
according to conscience, and who, lat.
er, opened the door to woman for a
larger part in the worlds work. Ev.
cry American girl must eventually
belong to the United States Club, as
Judge Allen was pleased to call the
United States Government. Each
member Of this great Club" must full.
fill the obvious obligations belonging
to loyal membership. Devotion to the
ideals of the founders CT their gov
eminent alone can preserve the liber-
ty into which these yonng members
of society are born as their native
right.
American girls who are now learn
ing helpful lessons of service and CO.
operation in their various clubs, anc
who will later have a part, as THEN
maturer sisters now measurably have
In helping to make and to enforce
laws, should know that liberty is
something each one must realize and
preserve for himself, through obeli-
ence to law. Each generation must
make its own, through such obedience
the liberty which its predecessors
appreciably realized.
The young Miriams and Esthers OF
this age who learn to sing and sac
rifice for their people, will best ful-
fill their mission by first of all hold
ing for themselves high ideals of pure
thinking and pure living; for only by
perfectlng to the utmost the various
functions of their own lives can they
have the widest helpful influence. AS
the young woman Of today cherishes
her many opportunities for service in
the highest sense, it should be pos
sible to speak OF her as OF one chat

Miss Kaercher has been a mighty
efficient public officerrev the men
who were most opposed to seeing q
woman go into an elective office of
this nature are forced, through ordin-
airy honesty, to admit that. She
should have the nomination without
even having to ask for it-and all
loyal members Of her party will dc
their utmost to see that she does get
it.
IT +
We can't get very much excited
over all this nd-dly-straw-vote
stuff, nor the fact that some benight-
ed woman is going to plead the wet
cause in Congress, and all the rest
of this babble and chatter that the
antl-prohibitionists are putting up.
We really couldn't expect those Dc ople
to let their side of the question die
without putting up at least the bluff
of fight for it. AS whole the
country is pretty we'll convinced thai,
1T cannot afford to take a backward
step and letting down the bars in anv
way whatsoever would be just that.
That is the real public opinion that
will keep the Eighteenth Amendment
where it is now and end in its event
ual and effective enforcement. The
rest of this chatter is mostly blah.

A committee of business men
from Redwood Falls went to St.
Paul last week to confer with
Commissioner Babcock in an eff
fort to secure paving from Red
wood to Morton. While we will
be glad to see Redwood get this
strip of highway paved when the
proper times comes we firmly be-
lieve there should be very little
paving on such roads so long as
such dangerous hills as those
on No. 20 along the Minnesota
river continue to exist on

a really dangerous hill when YOU see

slushy, slippery, slithery and slidery?
IT you knew what we know about
that hill, you'd make a special trip
down to call on Charley Babcock and
plead with him, with tears in your
eyes, to give your neighbors at Red
wood Falls and Morton that which
they should have-and that would be
good wide strip of paving. Danger
Gus hills! Huh!

Mrs. A. A. Passer and the women
working with her in the Art Depart
ment of the Minnesota Federation of
Women clubs are doing a fine piece
of public work in seeking to put bill
boards where they belong and keep
them there instead of letting them run
riot all over the beauties of out
door Minnesota. The ladies are go
ing about this job efficiently and are
acheiving.We hate to suggest any
thing difficult to them, but we just
wonder if they realize that this is
election year and they have the cam
paign cards with which to deal. OF
course, where the candidates are all
handsome gentlemen as they are in
Redwood County, this presents no
problem. It is privilege to have
the pictures Of orr boys put up where
the passing multitudes can see and
admire. We can't imagine them being
anything but an asset to the finest

abled veterans and orphans. The
quota was two hundred thousand dol

remark to the effect that the Legion

selfish interests, just remember that
they never forget the unfortunate

Dodge County has six candidates
for sheriff and Fillmore County has
seven. Maybe those counties have
poor sheriffs and need new one, and
that's why these public spirited citi-
zens are all so ready to sacrifice
themselves for the public welfare.
Redwood County has no such need
and no one in this County is called
upon to lay aside his own interests
to get into the race. The present man
is plenty good muffin fact he is a
whole lot better than that!

Fred johnson of New Ulm is being
talked as the possible gubenatorial
candidate for the Democratic party.
Well, Fred would surely win out
against anybody but Ted Christensen
even with the Democratic handicap,
and what corking good governor he
would make! But it just can't be in
1926. 1t is writ in the stars that Ted
is to remain in office to carry forward
the administration he is just getting
nicely underway. But when the stars
change, and Fred is the horoscope
candidate, we have bunch there are
a lot of G. o. P.s like the Gazette
editor who will find it mighty easy to
forget the party and see only the man.
