DEMOCRATS OBJECT
Claim John Ericsson Republican League is Capitalization Visit of Swedish Royalty.

Washington, June LP-Organi- zation of the John Ericsson repub- lican league of America was criti- cized by the democratic national committee in a statement today as an effort to make political capital for republican candidates out of the presence in this country of the crown prince and princess of Sweden.
 The league was formed here shortly after the dedication Of the memorial to the creator of the iron clad Monitor of Civil War fame with President Coolige and the crown prince taking part in the cere- monies
 At the unveiling Of the Ericsson memorial, the president found the number Of American citizens of Swedish descent to be about 2.O00,- GOO and next day the organizers gathered to form a republican league." says the statement.
 In view of the presidents en- dorsement in his address of Senator Irvine l.. Lenroot as a candidate endowed with the old Morse spirit it Is evidently expected of this new league to save the Wisconsin sena- tor from the fate that has been visited upon other administration men this year"

New York. June LP-An appeal to members of the graduating class Of the New York university to take a lifelong interest in public affairs and 10 oppose Fin every way whether hy the ballot box or other wise" enemies of the country's constitution was made today by Speaker Longworth of the national house of representatives.
 No matter how exacting your duties may be in your chosen call ing, no matter how onerous your responsibilities, do not fail to give some time to the study and discus sion of public affairs he urged in his commepcement address.
 This is the greatest, most pros porous, most influential country un- der the sun. It has become so uu- der the most enlightened constitu- ton among nations. Stand by that constitution. Oppose in every way whether by the ballot box or other wise it's enemies,
 lI tlN tl tlE t NpllE ] toSliIGllA 10 llut a superman," he went on, "but if not the very best man available in his constituency. he must be taken to be truly representative of the be- liefs, hopes and aspirations" of those who elect him.
 Tt would seem to follow that if the statesmanshjp of the country is degenerating,' the speaker con- tinued, the quality of citizenship must be degenerating also. That the precise contrary Is true I firmly believe.
 Whether it be true or not that our public men of today are inferior in statesmanship 10 the heroes of the past, I gravely doubt whether there existed men in private life who could fill their places with any real advantage to the nation"

DRY BILL MAY BE
 UP THIS SESSION
This Measure and French Debt
 Get Right of Way

Washington, June tP - Prohi- pltion will come before the senate prior 10 adjournment, but not ir it's most controversial form, if the republican steering committee has its way.
 In mapping out program of measures to be given preference, the committee has side-tracked the administration bill designed to put more teeth in the Eolstead act, al- though giving place to measures to raise the prohibition unit and the customs service to the status of bu- reaus and to bring enforcement agents under civil service regula- 1 tions.
 Threats 10 call un the side track. cd bill were immediately heard. however, among the most ardent drys. and wet leaders countered with a declaration of readiness to 1 fight it out, with national refer : cndum on prohibition and a vote on their modification bills as their 1 objectives.
 Another item likely to produce a long fight. the French debt settle mcut, also has no place on the { committees preferential program. 1 It was not technically before the committee, and some republican leaders held that, since ratification ! by the French parliament probably will be delayed, there is little prospect of action by the senate l before adjournment.
 Primary preference on the com mittee's program was given to the ! bill to permit certain railroads to refund theirdeb IS to the govern ment. This measure will be given right of way immediately after the senate disposes Of farm relief. which has been beforeit several days. After the railroad debt bill. the committee ranged that provid- ing for government control of radio communication through an independent commission, and the prohibition bureau and civil service measures.
 The civil service proposal was discussed for several hours by the senate last night, but agreement to adjourn at Il D. m. cut off consid- eration without action. It was op- posed by Senators Reed republican Pennsylvania; Bingham republican, Connecticut. and Norbeck, repubn- can. South Dakota, and supported by Senator Broussard, democrat, Louisiana.
 Senator Reed said the measure would have nullitied the efforts of former Prohibition Administrator Baird Of Pennsylvania, whom he described as one of the most dili- gent, fearless and efficient enforce ment officials ever to hold office. To explain his point. although he thought it might be indiscreet, hc told some of Baird's secret meth ods.
 Through an arrangement with a telephone central operator. he re lated, Baird obtained records of conversations Of persons suspected of being leaders "of the beer and whiskey ring in western Pennsyl- vania," and some of thIs informa- tion caused him to dismiss several agents working under him. This would not have been possible, tho senator said, if the agents had been under civil service.

VALUE OF A SMILE

Laugh and grow fat" says the
Milan Standard "The man who
laughs is the man who wins. A laugh
is the indication of a spirit that is
bound to be on top no matter what
comes. We do not mean the horse
laugh of the heartless fool who sees
fun where others see pathos. Nor
the frivolous litter of the giggler, VIII
goes into Mysteries on the least provo
cation, nor the merriment of the man
who goes into fits over his own Jokes.
One knows genuine laugh as soon as
he hears it. There is an infection
about it that is irresistible. Like
mercy, the quality of laugh is not
strained. 1t blesseth him what gives
and him that takes. 1t will do more
good in a family than all the physics
of the pharmacopoeia or the meta
physics of theology. "A merry heart
is good medicine or, as the revised
translation has it "causeth good heal
ings.' 1t is as good for business Of
ten as a page advertisement in the
local paper, and that is saying a great

AUTO COMMANDMENTS

l. Drive to the right side of the
road; it's just as good as the left.
z. Slow down when approaching a
crossroad; it is nearly as dangerous
as a railroad crossing.
3. Look out for children. You
never can tell what they will do, and
you are always in the wrong if Won
hit one.
4. Try to help instead of hinder
the traffic officer; he is there for your
good and he's got tough job.
3. Be sure your DINNERS" really
dim; it's no joke driving into a blind
ing glare, as you probably know.
e. Read and obey the warning
signs; they are not put up as orna-
ments.
Z. If you feel you've got to
speed-do it where it won't kill any,
body but yourself.
8. When making minor renairs
stop where your car may be seen from
both directions; otherwise you NAV
stop longer than you anticipated.
.. Speeding around corners is a
straight route to the hospital. DOM
race past a stopped street car. Some
day the jury will call it manslaughter
10. Use discretion. The fact that
you had the right of way won't bring
anybody back to life, least of all YOUR
sef.-Exchange.

Students Asked to
Write Health Plays

Every high school in Redwood
County has been invited to participate
in the Health Play Writing contest
being conducted by the Minnesota
Public Health Association. The con
test is open to all public, parochial
and private high schools and forms
part of the statewide educational
campaign made possible through
Christmas Seals.
With a valuable velour stage cur
tain or other equipment for the school
stage offered as the first prize, Eng
lish and dramatic classes eager to help
equip their schools, are planning on
entering the contest. The state
prizes, all of which have been donat-
ed to the Minnesota Public Health
Association by firms interested in the
disease prevention side of it's pro-
gram, also include: two sets of books
on the drama, and library of health
/ books.
Schools winning first and second
place in the state contest will also
! have a chance to win the national
prizes, which range from 500 in cash
to $40. The fact that two Minnesota
schools, the Central High School, st.
Paul, and the Hopkins High School,
carried off national awards in last
years Health Play is special slim
illus to schools to compete.
The plays are to be one act only
and must deal with realistic event,
which can be linked up with a pub
lie health message. They are to be
judged for their dramatic value and
their power to carry the underlying
educational message to the public,
and must be presented as well as wilt
ten by the competing schools.
The judges are: State, Lotus F.
Coffman, president University of
Minnesota; DR.. Smiley M. Blanton,
director, Minneapolis Child Guidance
Clinic; LIE Roy Arnold, professor of
English literature, Hamline Univers-
ity; James Gray and Carleton Miles,

of these items include the University
of Minnesota or teachers colleges.
"Of the amount paid by the state
for the year just closed, $1,000, 1872 is
in payment of tuition in high schools
for rural children who live outside
of high school districts, who are thus
given the privileges of high school
instruction. Minnesota is one of two
states which pays outright from state
funds the tuition of nonresident high
school students. The number 81
students for whom such tuition was
paid during the past year is 1920.
"a second significant item is the
payment from state funds Of 1901, 16.
for the transportation of pupils in
rural districts to consolidated schools
A third important item is the social
ed supplemental aid which is paid b.;
