Think Well Before You Vote.

In about eight weeks the people of
Minnesota will have an opportunity
their privilege-of selecting men
and women to perform the functions
necessary under organized govern
ment. We have dubbed those we Sc
lect politicians. Now a politician
is a human being similar to the COM
mon run of people, some of whom are
very common, too. The weak ones
in order to get office resort to bland
ishments to make good appearance
to convince the voters that they are
worthy of the fullest confidence in
their ability. The best men are
usually quiet and unassuming, going
about their regular business in a
silent manner. This attitude is often
mistaken for weakness instead OF
showing strength. Because of this
let us think before we vote.
Our system of choosing officials is
probably as good as present day wis
dom can devise. The reason we SO
often make mistakes is because we
are so Indifferent, so careless, and
so thoughtless in our selection,
Usually we standardize our selection
by the dollar mark. If we can COM
mercialize the office for our benefit
by choosing one who will do things
for our financial gain we assume
that we have made good selection.
This is an erroneous idea.
We shall do well if we select men
and women who will be guided in
their official duties by a strong desire
to enlarge. the opportunities for their
constituents to do wholesome things
for themselves, their families, and
their neighbors. We need good men
and women. We need strong men
and women. Let us elect those who
have been tested and who have shown
by their accomplishments that they
can do things.

Coolidge Afraid to Act.
The resolution specifically requested
Pres. Coolidge to initiate action which
will settle the strike.
The president, informed Questioners
that he did not see wherein the situa-
ton was changed any by the senate's
action, for if it had appeared to him
that his Intervention would have made
peace in the anthracite industry
months ago such action would have
been taken.
The fact that So senators voted
in favor of his interceding, however,
constituted a serious factor to be con-
sidered. The governmental policy
has been to regard the situation well
in hand as the mine union officials
have been allied with the Pennsyl-
vania police in order to crush any
militant opposition that may arise and
threaten the mine barons. Because Of
coming congressional elections Coo
lidge has refrained from intervention.
Now, however, the senate insurgent
republicans and democrats are fore
ing his hand. If he refuses he will be
accused of cowardice. If he acceds
to the request he will antagonize or
ganized labor. Always 5ewildered, he
is now more fabbergasted than ever
and has called his advisors into con-
ference to discuss the new turn Of
AFFAIRS.
A sharp debate preceded the SEN
ate's action, Senator Borah, of Idaho,
demanding that the senate itself in

On the vote, q republicans, q

for its adoption while 10 republicans
