RefOresting Plan
For State Urged

Minnesota mines and forests are en-
gagged in an endurance race, with the
result in doubt, unless a systematic
scheme of demonstration is undertake
en- in Minnesota, DR.. Raphael Zon,
director of the Lake Forest expert
ment station at University Farm, said
in his report of proceedings of the
Lake Superior Mining Institute.
DR.. Zon described the iron mining
industry as an Unsuitable monster,
devouring large quantities of tim
ber," for which it is paying an annual
tribute for $7,500,00O, from upper
Michigan and northern Minnesota.
but this is not saving the forests, he
said.
"Such a race need not exist" DR..
ION said, because the forest is a
renewable resource, which responds
generously to human effort. 1t can
supply all the mine timbers needed
and still continue to be source Of
wealth long after the mines have been
exhausted"
Due to lack of any system Of re-
forestration, mine timbers now cost
five times as much as they did IS
years ago, DR.. Zon said, but sit is
not yet too late to apply the remedy,
because comprehensive plan of re-
newing the forests will provide in
definitely a plentiful supply Of mine
timbers at reasonable price,"

COOLIDGE REPULICICANISM

President Coolidge will be about as
notable figure in next years cleo
tion as we imagine he will be in the
election of 1923. Already he stands
for a new Republicanism; which Sen
ator Pepper of Pennsylvania, in his
recent speech at Norristown, desig-
mated as Coolidge Republicanism. -
That this will be the slogan of the
Republicans in the 1926 campaign is
very evident. What it really means
will be subjected to various defini-
tions, but, in the main, it will mean
sane, forward looking administr A.
ton; economy, without parismony;
concern of the welfare of the whole
people; no favorites, the obliteration
of radical, sectional and religious
cleavage. Coolidge seems to be max
ing fewer mistakes than any presi-
dent within the memory of those now
living. -Worthington Times.

OVER WORKED PAROLE

A recent report of the Michigan
state parole commission reveals some
thought-provoking facts.
A total Of 1,701 paroles have been
issued by that states governor since
January 1. In August the number
of paroles exceeded the receipt Of
prisoners at the state prisons. Dur
ing the same period 1877 parole VIOLA
tors had to be re-arrested, some Of
them for violation Of their parole
pledges and others because Of new
crimes committed.
Similar distressing facts may be
found in other states. "Ma" Fergu-
sons record as wholesale pardoner

convicted and sentenced only three
years ago to life Imprisonment for
murder, was recently released on par

ings, Frank W. Matson. member OF
the State Railroad and Warehouse
commission, told the Minnesota Sher-
in Minneapolis.
Mr.. Matson said the vigilantes' or
CARNATIONS, as planned, would report
violations of the grade crossing law
to the state commission, which, in
turn, would send letters of caution
to the violators. If the violation,
persisted, they would be reported to
the sheriff of the counties.
He asked for cooperation Of the
sheriffs and local police officials III
the enforcement of the law. and said
he believed grade crossing accidents
could be reduced greatly if motorists
knew records of violators were being
kept.
Members of Rotary clubs, Kiwani,
clubs and other civic organizations
would be asked to become volunteer
members of the vigilantes' force.
Frank w. Burnskill, superintend-
ent of Minneapolis police, urged the
sheriffs and police officers to advo-
cate passage of a law curtailing the
sale of firearms.
A statewide cleanup of all gam
bling, lottery and games of chance
was decided on Monday by the Min
nesota Sheriff's association, at the
opening session of their annual con.
vention, at the Minneapolis court
house.
The action of the sheriffs was TAX
en- in compliance with the letter sent
by Governor Theodore Christensen
to all sheriffs, in which the Cover
nor asked strict lid on all forms of
gambling. In enumerating the vari
Gus methods of gambling and games
Of chance the association included in
its proposed campaign all county and
church affair raffles and lotteries,
trade campaign lotteries and raffles,
and all slot machines or mint or gum
vending devices.
The plan to close up all forms of
gambling struck responsive chord
in many of the delegates. 1t was
pointed out that a conflict and OPP
position may be Anticipated from
church organizations, civic societies
and business associations in regard
to raffles and trade lotteries, but the
opinion was unanimous that the lid
should be kept on everything, regard
less of what organizations or indi-
viduals it hits.
A change in the present system of
automobile license numbers so that
cars can be identified by counties will
be asked by the sheriff's association
which, in a resolution adopted, di.
rected Earle Brown, Minneapolis,
president of the organization, and w.
A Gerber, st. Paul, secretary, to act
as committee to confer with Mike
Holm, secretary Of state. The COM
mittee was directed to ask Holm to
list the counties numerically and in
clude such county number with the
numbers on the license plate.

ole.
Other causes might be cited from
many other communities.
There is a growing cutlery against
the present pardon and parole sys-
TENS. Some persons believe that I'M
til this means of easy exit from prison
is eliminated there will be no possible
checking of the crime wave.
Certainly it seems foolish to spend
so much time capturing, trying, con-
victing and sentencing criminals if
their release from punishment can
be effected so soon and so easily and
on such slight pretexts. But simply
doing away with parole commissions
and parole won't end crime. 1t will
only keep proved criminals under
guard. The real causes and cure Of
crime are still to be sought.-Little

BLESSING OF GOOD HOMES

In his very able address before the
Kiwanis club, Dr. Fulton of Red Wing,
stated that one of the greatest caus-
es of delinquency in the youth of the
land was poor homes, or in many
cases where disaster that broke up
the home, and deprived the youth OF
this blessing. This compared with
the statement that the criminal OF
today was not gray haired man, but
a youth from II to 30 years is rather
startling. 1t is between these ages
that our penal institutions get their
population. The speaker also stress
ed the fact that while wealth is de-
sirable, it does not constitute the
basis of a good home. 81 have known
where there was plenty of wealth
and no true home life, and | have
known of poverty, where the father
and mother were true men and wo-
men, where the home life was ideal"
On the same day the president of
the United States, Calvin Coolidge,
speaking in Chicago, said that where
there was a farm there existed con-
ditions for the best home life.
That is fact that has been amply
proven in the past century. 1t IS
from the farms. and from the modest
village homes, that there come forth
year by year the men and women who
are leaders at home, in the state and
nation.
The president and attorney general
of this government came from small
rural places in Vermont, where they
had to make their own way, knew
the necessity of hard work. The Sc
cretary of state, Frank kellogg, one
of the ablest men of the nation, had
possibly even harder struggle thar
either of these, the contribution of a
Minnesota farm to the world.
If one were to make list of the
great and successful men of this
country today, he would find an over
whelming majority came from the
rural districts.
The reason is obvious enough. The
boys are co-workers with their ia
theirs in the fields, and the daughters
with their mothers in the home. They
have community interest. 1t devel-
ops independence, it gives employ
ment, and tides them over the dan
gerous adolescent period of life, with
plenty of exercise for their excess of
energy.
But all cannot be blessed with being
farm born. The great indictment
against the big cities is that count
less numbers of families have no real
home. There are renters of rooms
in flats or apartment houses, or even
houses, moving often, and instead of
homes they have merely lodging
places.
When the home is broken up either
by death or what is usually worse, by
divorce, in too many cases the children
easily drift into bad ways.
The duty Of every community is to
do what it may to encourage decent
home life, respect for parents, con-
sideration for the children. Here is
a field for real missionary work.
It calls for tact, sense and genuine
kindness and helpfulness.-St. ClouI

DR. HORN COMPLIES TRIBUTES
OF NOTED MEN TO RELIGION;
RINGING TESTIMONY QUOTED
nize Christianity as lying at its
foundations"

nize Christianity as lying at it's
foundations"
Another Christian star in the SUI
preme court, Justice Mclean, OBJ
serving the meneficent results trace
able to the Christian religion, con.
tributed a telling affirmation in its
honor thusly: ''The Bible has shed
a glorious light upon our world. Com
pare the dark places of the earth
where the light of the gospel has not
penetrated with those where it has
been proclaimed and embraced in all
it's purity. Surely the laws which
belong to the social relation belong
to the Bible"
But of all the sledge hammer
strokes that have originated in the
official world favorable to the Christ
ian religion, none surpass that con
tributed by Chief Justice Busche of
the supreme court, who wrote: "lf
the origin, nature, and progress OF
the Christian religion are not estab-
lished, nothing in the history Of man
kind can be believed" Truly it may
be asserted in the language of the
test, "The government shall be upon
his shoulder"
To these remarkable tributes by
eminent jurists may be added the
conclusions of all the presidents OF
the United States, four of whom are
quoted, beginning with Andrew Jack
son whose verdict was, "The Bible
is the rock on which the republic
rests" and Thomas Jefferson, author
of the Declaration of Independence,
suggested that "The studious per-
usal of the Bible will make better
citizens, fathers and better husbands -
and Ulysses Simpson Grant left the
testimony, 81 am not aware of ever
having used profane expletive in ny
life. Hold fast the Bible as the
sheet anchor to your liberties. Write
its precepts in your hearts, and prac-
tice them in your lives. To the in
fluence of this book we are indebted
for all progress made in our ciziliza-
ton, and to this we must look as our
guide in the future"
Bat it was the choice of George
Washington to actually call upon ev-
cry soldier to act as a Christian, as
was evidenced by one Of his remark
able state papers: "The blessing ana
protection of heaven are at all times
necessary. The general hopes and
trusts that every officer and man will
endeavor to live and act as becomes
a Christian soldier. He is worse
than an infidel who lacks faith, and
worse than wicked that has not graft
tude enough to acknowledge his obli-
cations"
In a letter to the governors of the
states he declared: 81 now make my
earnest prayer that God would have
you and the state over which you re-
side in his holy protection, and that
you will show that justice, love and
mercy which were the characteristics
of the author of our blessed religion"
Thus it is observed that the stars
of the first magnitude in the official
world went out Of their way to pay
due tribute to the Christian religion,
demonstrating that the ancient pro.
phet hit the mark when he wrote,
The government shall be upon His
shoulder"
