Senate Sub Committee Votes
to Back Dry Law Chance

Notwithstanding in executive
session, majority of the special SUBJ
committee of the senate judiciary
committee-Senators A. B. Cummins
(rep., Iowa., Guy D. Golf (rep., w.
Va.), w. E. Borah (rep., Idaho), and
T. ]. Walsh (dem., Mont. )-adopted a
report upholding the legality of the
order recently issued by President
Coolidge authorizing the employment
of state or city peace officers as 81 a
year federal prohibition enforcers.
The majority report will assert, it is
said, that the order is not only legal
and that the President was amply au-
thorized to issue it, but will cite a
number of United States supreme
court decisions in support Of their
contention. The report, according to
Information now available, specifical-
ly points out that it touches only on
the legality of the order and is SUBJ
mitted without any theory as to the
wisdom of issuing it.

Final Drive for Passage of
Farm Legislation is Launched

Misunderstanding behind a
new Dawes plan, described as an
economically sound" solution for
Americas agriculture problem, the
senate farm bloc opened a final drive
for the enactment of farm relief leg
islation at this session of congress.
The plan, drafted by farm bloc
leaders under the economic direc-
ton" of Vice President Dawes, would
create $175,000,00O corporation for
marketing surplus crop abroad with
the farmers financing the corporation
through an equalization fee, payable
with the first crops.
It's provisions were recommended
by Dawes and the ground work laid
by two agricultural economists, George
w. Peek of Illinois and Chester Davis
Of Montana, who were drawn into
the picture by the vice president.
The Dawes proposal will be substi-
tuted in the senate for the old Nc
Nary-Haugen bill with farm bloc lead
ers ready to force a showdown on the
farm relief question.

BROOKHART LEADS

Leads Cummins by Good Margin
In Unusual Senatorial
Contest.

Des Moines, Iowa-With Smith w.

there seemed to be little doubt that
the unseated senator had gained the
Republican nomination in the pri-
mary over Senator Albert B. Cum
minis. His campaign managers
claimed that the final figures would
return him a winner by at least TO-
900 plurality. More than one-third of
the precincts in the state had been
recorded and gave Brookhart a lead
of more than 10000 over Senator
Cummins. In the primary Iowa vot-
ers had before them the unusual SIT
uation Of an unseated senator, Brook
hart, seeking "vindication" at the
polls in an effort to obtain the seat
of an incumbent, Cummins, who re-
manned in Washington throughout
the entire campaign. The. Republi-

office one of the party's outstanding

usually heavy vote. All through the
day campaign headquarters here re-
ceived reports of light voting, and the
anticipated rush to the polls this
evening failed to materialize.

Crown Prince and Edison Meet

New York-Gustav Adolf, scientist
and crown prince of Sweden, has a
new friend in the Yankee inventor,
Thomas A. Edison. The friendship
was firmly cemented at West Orange,

his laboratories. They went in Edi-
sons four year old flivver, with the
prince, who is feet 2, hunched up
on the back seat at the inventors side.
After lunch, the prince and Edison
were besieged by photographers. One
shouted several times to the nearly
deaf inventor to smile, with no result.
Finally he called, "Hey, your high
ness, you tell him to SMILE" The
prince, who had learned the trick of
making Edison hear, turned to him
with grin, spoke to him, and the in
ventor smiled.

WASHINGTON LETTER
CONTINUED from Page !,

With the word already passed
in various quarters to raise funds
the matter of contributions and
expenditures provides ticklish
problem for campaigners. The
special investigating committee
of the Senate headed by Senator
Reed, Democrat of Missouri, is
ready to WELD a big stick. The
Senate has already appropriated
$4,000 for the purpose of con-
Quoting an inquiry into primaries,
particularly in Pennsylvania and
Illinois. Senator Reed has an
nounced that the activities of the
committee will be continued
even if the appropriation is alb
sorbed at an early date, because
he believes that the Senate will
reimburse the committee for any
extraordinary expenditures.
Senator Jim Reed is noted
more for his individuality in poll
tics than for his partisanship, so
that the minority can expect
little advantage from his appoint
ment as chairman. The Missouri
Senator, who is known in Wash
ington for his fearlessness, is fire.

cannot forget he was once pros

Though the investigation into
the Tariff Commission has been
conducted over period of weeks
it has provided little material for
political use. Another investi-
cation has been approved by the
Senate In directing the Federal
Trade Commission to study and
report the causes of the recent
rise in the price of gasoline and
oil.

There are many.
Charles Uhler, six miles south
west of Denham, on the Willow
River road has modern barn
that will house thirty-eight head
of cattle and two horses. It con-
tains swinging stanchions for the
cattle's comfort, and a manure
carrier. He has 800 acres of land
with sixty under cultivation. He
has forty-eight head of stock,
milks twenty cows and is a
staunch patron of the Denham
creamery as every farmer within
its territory should be. He is a
Bohemian by birth, and is doing
well. Last March he sawed from
his own timber land $4,000 feet
of lumber which found a ready
market right at home at $23 a
thousand.
The great Moose Lake fire of
1918 burned all his buildings,
chickens, pigs and machinery. He
had bought his place in 1916 and
erected new buildings so that his
fire loss was very severe. But
like others of strong, courageous
character, he never looked behind
nor mourned his fate, but re-
newed his strength and looked
forward. Out of the charred
ruins he has built better than
before and the results reflect
honor to his home and the COM
munity.

One never tires in singing the
praise of these sturdy men and
women he meets in journeying
through Pine county. There is
something about each of the
farm men and women that chal-
lenges admiration. Their cordi-
atty, their charming hospitality,
the ease with which they make
one feel at home, and their uni
versal kindness. For centuries
the preachers and others have
been singing the praises of a GER
tain Samaritan, who journeying
on the road from Jerusalem to
Jericho found a man who had
fallen among thieves, and who
had been stripped of his raiments,
wounded and left half dead. The
good Samaritan poured oil in the
mans wounds, bound them up
and placing the man on his own
beast took him to the inn where
he had him cared for admonish.

care of the wounded man and
whatever his bill, he would repay

the opposite direction and the

admonished me that it would be
better not to go that way. So
| turned around and went back.
Entering the suburbs of Rutledge

He was well informed and proved
my benefactor. He knew the
roads traveller was supposed to
travel and knew which ever one
he took he would be sorry he
had not taken the other. 1t was
early in the morning when only
editors and others of nocturnal
predictions are ordinarily about.
Here was my opportunity for in

home as a partial recompense for
his goodness, but the sands of

admonished me to go forward as

Little Journeys Here and There
By J. A. WE

Anton Markus and family near
Willow River know how to do
things comparatively, and then
they do them. They are laying
the concrete foundation for a new
barn 32x6O, which when COM
pleted will serve the purposes for
housing twenty-five head of cat
tie, two horses and fifty tons of
hay. Mr.. Markus is thrifty and
is evidently paying as he goes.
The day I was there a hired man
and a concrete mixer were pre-
pairing the concrete mortar for
pouring. Mr.. Markus was wheel
ing it to the foundation and Mrs.
Markus was spreading it into po-
sition with a trowel. 1t was a
sight worthy of a frugal man
ager such as Mr.. Markus is.
When completed, this barn will
be equipped with the latest and
most modern appliances for eff
ficience and for the comfort of
the animals. A proper ventilation
system, stanchions and drinking
cups will have their place in this
new building. I
My interest and admiration
was aroused when | called at the
home of c.. G.. Peterson near Den
ham, to see Clifford Peterson and
Roy Alberg, two former students
of the Dunwoody Institute of
Minneapolis, running a feed
grinder turned by an engine
which they had rescued from the
scrap heap and made to do their
bidding. 1t seems that they dis
covered man who had a dis
carded Overland engine. which he
was willing to sell for $40. They
bought it and turned their know
ledge and skill to good account
by adapting and adjusting it into
work engine for grinding feed,
saving wood and cutting ensilage.
Their efforts emphasized the fact
that there are values lying all
about us that may be had almost
for the asking. They are ours to
go in and adjust and adapt to our
benefit. There is nothing wrong
here only our weakness. We can
do what we want to do when we
know how. And we may know
how, if we only will. These boys
are an honor to their families
and credit to their community.
Others may do well to follow
their leadership.
