of Agriculture, through the Division
of Cooperative Marketing is doing
its best to foster the impression the
farmers can help themselves far more
effectively than the Government
through legislative panaceas. It is
true that the Department of Agricul-
ture figures show that farm prices,
generally have dropped during the
last few weeks, but the prices for
live stock are increasing. The farm
er usually takes more interest in vot-
ing than the city chap and therefore
the politicians find more time to en-
large upon his economic affairs, es-
pecially when they are the means for
partisan gain.
President Coolidge's recent inter-
view with Bruce Barton, "a personal
friend and professional publicist, has
provoked a storm in Washington
The, crops of Washington newspaper
correspondents is not at all pleased
at the position taken by the President
in permitting personal friend to
give direct quotations and personal
interviews when such is denied other
writer's. 1t has revived the old is
sue of identifying the white House
spokesman" in news dispatches. AS
the average newspaper reader knows,
the anonymous individual referred to
as t'the official spokesman" and "the
White House authority" is none other
r0ci6 Of hn Inif TOD
States.
The correspondents interview the
President on Tuesdays and Fridays
of each week but are not permitted
to make direct quotations from his
remarks. The complaint is made
that this policy allows the President
to use newspapers in the sense of
flying kites that is, to sound out
public sentiment without accepting
the personal responsibility for his re-
marks on current matters. BY using
the American press as sounding
hoard it ia possible for the President
to deny the authorship of direct re-
marks as reported by newspaper cor
respondents, especially if the reaction
is not favorable to his plan. This
is custom which became the vogue
in the days of Roosevelt and all pre-
vious efforts to make the President
accountable for his remarks to news
papers have failed. So few people
expect the President to recede from
his position as an anonymity, but
it is topic which is given considers
able attention in Washington, espec-
tally in view of the possibility of the
present executive running for office
again in 1928.

OUR DAY OF REST
Duluth News-Tribune.)

Sunday is a day of rest. On that
day people who are employed, per-
sons who are busy during the week.
in office, store and factory, men who
work in the cities or who toll in the
fields, lay aside the cares of their
vocation and relax from the tension
and the requirements of their work
day life.
But being day of rest does not
necessarily mean that one must stay
in bed all day nor sit in the rocking
chair on the front porch. The best
kind of rest for mind and body, after
one has spent six days among the
same surroundings and engaged in
the same line of work is a change of
scenery and day of wholesome rec
reation.
Each person should be allowed to
choose for himself the manner in
which he shall spend his time on
Sunday. The things that appeal to
one person may not interest another.
One would not expect the street car
conductor to go for trolley ride on
his day off, and it would be equally
absurd to ask the letter carrier to &C
company you on hike.
Undoubtedly the best way to start
the day is by attending church. The
man who begins his Sunday by going
to church sets a good example to the
members of his family and to others,
and is not apt to go far wrong during
the rest of the day.

AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL I
is NEW BUSINESS"
Traffic Taken From Railroads
Small Part of Highway Travel,
State and u. S. Figures Show.

Automobile travel is mostly new
business and the portion which is
business taken away from the rail-
roads is comparatively small, ac-
cording to studies made by H. r.
Trumbower, economist of the Bureau
of Public Roads at Washington. Sim
liar conclusions are reached from a
study of Minnesota highway and rail-
way statistics, except that Minnesota
has higher ratio of automobile
travel than the average state.
Automobile travel for the whole
United States totaled 1887, O0O, 900
miles in 1926, Mr.. Trumbower esti-
mates, while railway travel, as shown
by reports to the Interstate Com
merce commission totaled 35,963, $685.
900 passenger miles. This railway
travel is greater than any year PRIOR
to 1917. he shows, while the peak was
reached in 1920 with 46,S4S,6SS,0 900
passenger miles. The decrease is
less than eleven billion miles, he
points out, and accounts for only a
small portion of the total automobile
travel. Automobile travel has also
superseded travel by horsedrawn We
hicles, but this, he says, can account
for only small portion of the auto
mobile travel. Consequently, most
of those riding in automobiles are
people who would otherwise have
stayed at home.
Mr.. Trumbower arrived at his fig
ures by taking the total registration
for the United States, estimating that
the average car travels 5000 miles a
year and that the average load is 21a
persons. On this basis, using the
registration of passenger cars and
not counting trucks, automobile
travel in Minnesota is estimated at
6,600,000,000 passenger miles per
year. Railway travel in Minnesota,
according to reports to the State
Railroad commission totaled 552,-
136,906 passenger miles in 1925 and
1,029,967, 465 in 1919, the highest year
on record.
Thus while automobile travel is
six times as great as rail travel in
the country at large, in Minnesota it
is nearly twelve times as great as
the rail travel in 1925 and more than
six times as great as the total rail
travel for 1919. The falling off of
rail travel from 1919 to 1925, namely
ATT 100000 miles, would account for
only one fourteenth of automobile
travel in the state.
Mr.. Trumbower estimates trolley
travel at 4O,O0O,0O0,OOO miles per
year. Adding this to the steam rail-
way travel, the travel on rubber is
still three times as great as the
travel on rails. No estimate of troll
ley travel in Minnesota is available
Although bus traffic is developed
more in Minnesota than the average
state, it is estimated at only and
one-third per cent of the total auto
mobile travel.

COUNTY TEACHERS
HAVE GOOD MEETING
''TO Know What the Child
Knows, Stressed as Essential
for Effective Teaching by
Supt. ]. P. Miller.

The Pine county teachers and nor
NAL training department students
were in attendance at the Teachers
institute held at Pine City October
list and End. There were as many
as 144 present at some of the sessions.
County Superintendent Jens P. Mil
Ter opened the Institute and in so do
ing stated that in order to make our
teaching effective it is necessary to
know just what the children know;
to learn as much as possible about
their actions and ways of thinking
and the means of guiding their
thoughts and actions.
The Institute was called primarily
for the benefit of the children of the
county. The instruction was princi-
pally devoted to stressing special de-
vices to determine how effectively the
teaching had been done. Special tests
were given in geography and the one
thing that characterized the tests was
that they were so disable in the
school room covering a great deal of
the subject and generally occupying
short period of time giving pretty
fair idea of what the children know
and what they need to learn. With
these tests and the theory often the
teachers are able to make correspond
ing tests for the other subjects
taught in the school. Mrs. Adella G.
Duncan was the instructor sent Gut
by the Department of Education. She
did very efficient work and deserves
great deal of credit for the success
of the Institute. An instructive and
interesting address was given by Miss
Bohrer, who talked upon some things
to be emphasized in a rural school,
viz, the Importance of trained pub
lie opinion; the necessity of leaving
legislative work to those elected for it,
rather than to lobbyists or to an un-
trained electorate, and the necessity
of emphasizing Americas part infthe
World War; County Agent w. F.
Hammargren, talked about the value
of Club work and the necessity of
having the idle moments of the chill
dren occupied with something useful
A demonstration was given to the
Institute by the garment making team

LARGE GATHERING
CHEERS FOR MAGNUS
Full House Greets Farmer-LabOr
Speakers at AskOv Last Night.
-Magnus johnson, McAllister
and Lundeen on Program.

The Farmer-Labor political meet
ing held at Askov last evening was
very enthusiastic one and was at
tended by between 300 and 400 people.
The speakers were Magnus Johnson,
Farmer-Labor nominee for governor,
F. E. McAllister, for attorney general;
and Ernest Lundeen for Congress,
Tenth district. Svend Petersen in
troduced the speakers.
Mr.. McAllister spoke first, dwelling
on the campaign issues and drawing
the line between the old parties and
the progressives. He brought up ma
tional politics also, citing the Teapot
Dome affair-a stencil at the national
capitalize bringing of young Roose-
welt from New York out here into
Minnesota to tell the people of GER
tain congressional district who they
should elect to congress.
Mr.. Lundeen, former member of
congress from the Fifth Minnesota
district, and a student of government,
spoke of some of his experiences in
congress and how he labored to-
gether with the great Robert M. La
Toilette during his stormy days at
the national capital. Mr.. Lundeen is
very able speaker and gives the
appearance of being a man of courage
and willpower He held the close
attention of the audience as did also
the other speakers.
Magnus Johnson was the last speak
er and he entertained the large audi
ence with his plain and wholesome
humor. He said, "they sometimes
ridicule my speech but it has i'm
proved some in the last 81 years, and
81 years ago l proposed to an Amer
lean girl. She understood me alright
Magnus said that what is most essen
tial about the requirements of gov
ernor is that he be honest and sincere
and that he possess good common
"horse sense. He spoke some of his
experiences in the United States Sen
ate recently and also of the days when
he was member of Minnesota's
legislature where he held forth for
10 years.
A state bank guarantee law such
as the Farmer-Labor party proposes,
the Primary law and other state is
sues were dwelt upon by the speakers.
Time and space will not permit of
going into detail.
Similar meetings were held at other
places in the county yesterday. A col
lection taken at the Askov meeting
last night for the campaign expenses
netted over $4S.
