President Coolidge hopes that Amer

for conditions in foreign countries

any unwarranted criticisms or re-

desires to maintain friendly relations

FORMALLY OPENED

Large Crowd Hears G.. r. Mar
tin, Congressman Goodwin, and
Editor Lee.-MaIe Quartette
Popular.
The new American Publishing
Company building at Askov was
formally, dedicated Friday when
between 500 and 600 people list
ened to the program given at the
D. B. S. hall that evening.
Svend Petersen, secretary OF
the company, bid the large aud.
fence welcome and introduced
the speakers, calling first for
selections by the Great Northern
Male Quartette.
C. R. Martin, vice president of
the Great Northern Ry. Co.,
spoke for As minutes about rail
roads in general, stressing the
following points:
First: There is no guaranty of
earnings to railway companies
under the Esch-C ummins Bill,
nor in any other way.
Second: There is no watered
stock in the Great Northern cap
italization and this is true of at
least nearly all of the railroads
of the United States, if not of all.
Third: Watch the voting of
tax money and the expenditure
of same to be sure of securing
a dollars worth of value for
every dollar spent.
Fourth: Freight rates are not
high relatively.
Mr.. Martin spoke in a plain
straightforward manner and held
the close attention of the aud
fence throughout. Among other
things he said that one hears so
much about high freight rates
but as matter of fact they are
relatively low, having advanced
only 20 per cent in the last 10
years. Compare it with the ad-
vance on everything else.
Mr.. Martin is a man who
started at the bottom of the lad
der in railroad work and has risen
to his present high and important
position through pluck and hard

for some time. Saturday night,
Mr.. Kohlleppel put two chickens
in wire basket and set the bas-
ket about ten feet from the back
door, thinking that animals of
some kind were taking them and
would be sure to try for these.
The family were awakened about
midnight by the chickens becom-
ing noisy, and upon investigation
they found that the basket had
been upset and one of the chick
ems was missing. This chicken
was found hiding under the porch
and both chickens were then re-
stored to the basket and Mr.. Kohl
leppel waited in a chair by the
window with a shot gun across
his knees.
About an hour later the chick
ems again became noisy and he
went to the door, standing to one
side of the door with the gun in
his hands and his foot holding
the screen open. 1t must have
been at this time that the little
girl slipped by him unnoticed.
The night was dark and as the
child was returning to the house,
Mr.. Kohlleppel noticed nothing
but dark blur approaching him.
The child placed her hands upon
the porch and then one knee and
as she brought the other knee up
it looked to the man as if some
animal was about to spring. He
pulled the trigger just as the child
Strengthened and with the flash
of the gun saw who it was.
The little girl was the second
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Kohlleppel
who have lived east of Hinckley
for the past eleven years, and she
leaves to mourn her great loss
besides her parents, one brother,
William and one sister, Christina.
The funeral was held Monday
afternoon from ST. Patrick's
church and the body laid to rest
in Rose Hill cemetery.

work. His first railway job he
secured at the age of ID, when
he became water boy for a fenc-
ing gang; his vacations and spare
time were occupied in doing odd
jobs around the railroad to earn
money to aid him in getting an
education, also in learning tele-
graphy and station work. During
this period he worked as section
laborer and passenger brakeman,
and for about six months ran

He was born in Evans Mills,
New York on the third of July,
1864. When 10 years of age he
moved with his parents to Austin,
Mimi, where the family lived for
four years, removing thence to
Kasson, Mimi, where the boy
spent another four years.
Mr.. Martin graduated from the
Kasson high school in 1881, then
taught school in Kasson and By
ron for about two years.
A writer in The Railwayee,"
transportation magazine, puts
it this way:
IF you wish to know anything
about costs, in the maintenance
or operation of a railroad, from
the value of a track spike or 500
ton locomotive to the cost of
moving a ton of freight one mile,
or about the organization and
financing of a railroad corpor-
alton, you can find no better
authority than George R. Martin,
executive vice-president of the
Great Northern Railway system"
Congressman Godfrey G. Good
win of Cambridge, gave a short
talk following Mr.. Martins adj
dress, in which he dwelt upon
Legislation before Congress. Mr..
Goodwin said that he is much op-
posed to branch banking, being of
the opinion that a local man who
knows local conditions can better
serve the community than can
the branch of some big city in
stitution. He also spoke about

grafton law which is to go into

OuW WASHINGTON
Bu " CDaley
- upSa EDITORIAL ASSOCIATIONS sssaA

Washington, Aug. IL Vacation
days are depicting the ranks of
government executives in Wash
ington. Everybody who can find
an excuse leaves Washington dur
ing the "dog-days" of August, as
the National Capital is notorious
for, its humid climate in the sum-
mertime. Although the execu-
tives are away, the minor officials
continue to operate the Federal
department without any notice
able change. Many of these Of
ficials look forward to the vaca-
ton of departmental heads as a
time when power will come to
them even though temporarily.
1t is more difficult to obtain an
interview or conference with a
minor executive than with the
big Chief" 1t is usually the
outcropping of arrogance which
characterizes the petty govern
ment bureaucrat.
However, there are a few items
relating to governmental affairs
which are of interest. First, in
the international relations is the
Mexican religious controversy.
Primarily, the situation is one to
claim the attention of the State
Department, but there are other
branches Of the administration
which have more than a passing
interest in the disturbances in the
prevailing neighboring republic.
Unless there are some unexpect-
ed developments which clearly
involve the rights of American
citizens, it is doubtful that this
Government will change from
the rule of impartial observer to
an active participant.
The Department of Commerce
is making a study of the reports
of consular agents as to the eff
feet of the economic boycott.
This interest is due to the fact
that Mexico is one of the consum-
ers of American products. The
Department of Labor, through
the Bureau of immigration, is
watching the influx of refugees,
etc. The border patrols of the
various branches of the Govern
ment are keenly alive to the pos
sibility Of smuggling arms and

amunitions. 1t seems that the
administration will carry out the
well defined policy of non-inter-
vention.
Students of politics are analyz-
ing the returns of recent pri-
maries in several mid-western
states. The interpretations vary
according to the political afflia-
tons of the analyst.
There is some comment here
to the effect that the issues rails
ed in congressional and senator
ial contests of late were directly
on the prohibition and farm re-
lief questions. Certain Demo-
crat leaders are beginning to
doubt the wisdom of party chiefs
in making the tariff the principal
political issue upon which to base
their fight for control of the Sen
ate and House. The subject is
seldom, if ever, mentioned in the
local contests, so that observers
here say that it will not be SER
iously considered as a major is
sue. The returns from the pri-
maries indicate that voters have
expressed their preference to
candidates making a clear-cut
declaration of principles over
domestic issues.
The feeling exists that the in
quiry into the cost of primaries
in Pennsylvania, Illinois and
other states will not figure prom
inently in the forthcoming cleo
tions. Though the exposures at
the hearings are, undoubtedly
startling, and the admissions of
expenditures show quite clearly
that politics is no longer a poor
mans game. The voting public
is strangely apathetic to the &C.
tivities of the Reed Investigating
Committee. At one time the
disclosure of large expenditures
in regard to candidates for of
flee would have been a signal for
a public cutlery, but nowadays it
fails to attract more than an in
different shrug of the shoulders
Interviews with political leaders
show, however, that there is some
reaction, for money necessary to
