Lieutenant Governor calls his running mate Mag
nus Johnson "office hunter" That's vii
name to call any man! In this particular it ma,
be justified; it seems that Magnus IS "hoggng
all the partys resources for his own campaig,
purposes, and he can't expect the other candidate
to be exactly pleased about it.

How much more happy we would all be
if we refrained from criticizing our neighbor
until we were dead certain that we were right.
Cottonwood Co. Citizen.
Why criticize anyway? Just who are we t.
think we are right and the other fellow wrong
If there is anything more ridiculous than the
average faulty man or women pointing the way
to perfection for some other human being we
have yet to discover it.

The Coumnist of the Chicago Tribune wrote
this bit of very applicable vacation verse:
Little bankroll, ere we part,
Let me hug you to my heart.
All the year I've chung to you,
I've been faithful you've been true
Little bankroll, in a day
You and will start away
| To gay and festive spot
I'll come home, but you will not

| Brown County tax levy was increased $50 900
over what it last year. Redwood County's
levy remains the same-which is matter of
credit to our Board of County Commissioners
Brown County's extra money is needed for it's
road fund. Redwood County has the advantage
| over many counties in this respect it's splendid
road program having spread over SO many years
that it didn't add such a great pressure to any
one year. More credit to County Dads, those of
the past having done mighty good service in
this respect.
An American { in fact Min1esotan) mis-
slonary in Korea branded boys face with the
word, thief" using acid to do his fiendish deed
The crime committed by the boy was stealing
apples! Korea is up in arms the horror of
such an act and one the leading papers publish
ed at Toxic states that CDR Haymeirs action is
generally taken typical of the insolent at
titude of the whites to the yellow peoples" We
need not marvel that occasionally the yellow
peoples question our right to try to persuade
them to our religion. 1t would be hard for them
to understand Christ for the love of whom
man would do such deed. One such misstep
undoes the good done by hundreds Of this mans
predecessors. ..~ax

Minnesota was much wrought up last week
by the tale of the murder of an innocent boy of
eight, accused by his uncle, Hastings farmer,
of having stolen sixty-five cents. The beating
given the child for the theft he did not commit
resulted in his death-the crime all the more
heinous in that the child was an orphan recently
sent from Canada to live with relatives whom it
might be assumed would protect instead of MUIR
der him. This is what Mabe Moresux of the
Luverne Herald thinks of the crime and its pro-
bable punishment.
Zone to fifteen years in the oenitentiary
At Saltwater!
"This the sentence imposed in dis
trict court at Hastings Monday upon Anthony
Lucking, a farmer, who confessed to beat

think it over! One to fifteen years!
| And Minnesota with parole system which
| will permit the releasing of this british fiend
at the end of the minimum period mentioned.
"In his confession Lucking admitted that
he had administered the fatal beating be-
cause he thought the lad had stolen 65 cents,
but that the day after the boys death he had
! found the money in bureau drawer where
he had himself placed it.
"Jn consideration of his confession the
court permitted this fend incarnste-this
dastardly brute who had violated every sense
of humanity-to plead guilty to the charge of
second degree manslaughter instead of sec
ond degree murder, with which he was charg-
ed, in order that lighter sentence might
/ be pronounced.
! Zone to fifteen years! This apparent
ly is what Judge w. A. Schultz, who permit
ted the change in the charge against the
brute and who later sentenced him, considers
adequate punishment for the beating to death
of helpless, fatherless and motheress lad
by great brute of grown mana father
of four children of his own
"Nor is this all of the sordid tale. The
wife of the brute charged with aiding

years for the man-freedom for the woman
/ And then sit around and wonder why
crime thrives and respect for law lags.
