SHOULD BE REELECTED

Congressman Godfrey G. Good
win of Cambridge. has filed for
denomination on the Republican
ticket. He was elected to Cong
ress by the voters of this district
in the fall of 1924, but as Cong
ress did not convene before Dec.
Z, 1925, he has served but a few
months. He has attended strict
ly to business during that time,
having answered every roll call
but one when he was unavoid-
ably absent in the Senate office
building. Mr.. Goodwin is a
good man to return to Congress
and more will be said about him
later. 1t is the first time in 10
years that a man from the
country portion of this district
has been elected to Congress. He
should have at least one more
term.

GOVERNOR OVER RADIO

Governor Theodore Christian
son who has filed for nomination
on the Republican ticket for a
second term as governor, is to
deliver the opening address of
his campaign at Faribault on
Wednesday, May IL. The gov
ernor's address is to be broad
casted over Station WCAL, the
station at St. Olaf College, North
field, which radio-cast the Dawes,
Hughes and La Toilette speeches
in the 1924 campaign.
Of the candidates cropped out
to date the governor is the big
man with experience, vision and
back bone. He has engendered
the. dislike of a number of Twin
City politicians who are not sit
ting as pretty" on a soft job as
formerly, but every knock from
the office-seeking type of poll
ticians is a boost for the governor
out over the state. Mr.. Christ
hanson stands we'll with the
country folks and thinkers gen.
orally because he means what he
says and there is something back
of his economy program.

TIME WORST WASTED
DR.. Roy L. Smith

Waste no time plying the man
who is. plying himself. He is
usually doing it so well that the
help of anyone else would be
merely an interference.
No one ever employs his time
so unproftably as when he is
giving himself sympathy. In
plying himself he is adding to
his miseries, dividing his atten-
ton, subtracting from his own
happiness, multiplying his
grievances and compromising his
chances for failure.
| No matter how little attention
the unfortunate may get, it will
be more than that accorded to
the self-pitier.
He who looks for trouble sees
| it. He who hunts for grievances
finds that there is no closed
season. He who starts out to
pity himself will be so busy that
he will never again have. time for
useful labor.
The self-pitier brews his own
soul-poison, manufactures his
own scares, depletes his own
strength, disgusts his friends,
paralyzes his own will, emaciates
his own motives and pollutes his
own morals.
Self-pity is a moral anaesthetic
that reduces all impulses and
worthy ambitions to impotence.
No matter how threatening
your troubles may be, they never
grow smaller because you worry
over them. No misfortune ever
looks less ominous because we
extend ourselves sympathy.
A great Englishman was being
commiserated on the fact that no
monument would be erected to
his memory. Said he, Then I
will live so that men will ask,
Why is there no monument to
this man?" Instead of griev-
ing because he was to be neg
lected, he proposed to lay the
burden upon those who neglected
him.
He who gives pity to the self
pitier is seldom thanked-the
pitier is too busy to recognize the
courtesies due from him.

great sun. Lincoln radiated a
light that shone not only over
the United States but some OF
the rays reached out to the
farthest corners of the world. If
you and | can do a little bit
toward lighting up a dark corner
at the very spot where we live
in our home, then we have done
what most of us have ability
to do.
Lincoln, as you know, did his
great life work with little AGA
demic education, but he did live
among the common people with
his heart and soul and he loved
them.
Woodrow Wilson said in an in
formal talk on the subject
Would college education have
helped Lincoln?"
-Four years in our modern
colleges would have given Lin
coin no additional chances of be-
ing of service to his country but
four years under such a social
system as exists in them would
have been most serious handi-
cap to him.
For Lincoln's strength lay
in his close kinship with the un-
derstanding and desires of the
common people, those who were
in the everyday struggle. 1t was
because he never lost touch with
them that he was able to solidify
the North and lead it to victory
through the four years of a
civil war;"

Dancing in schools has been
discussed pro and con by folks in
the Ashland, (Wis.) Press. Rev
Claude Warren, a pastor of that
city, gave out some good
thoughts in one of his para
graphs, which read as follows:
"The method of repression will
never solve the amusement ques-
ton. One is reminded of the
story of the old deacon who
drove the boys out of his church
because they damaged the car
pet. When he died he took the
carpet to heaven and upon being
asked by St. Peter what had be-
come of the boys he replied: "Oh,
we lost the boys but we saved the
carpet" Suppose we drive out
the high school dance. Have
we solved the problem? Not
in the least"

CALLS 1T STUBBORNNESS

Editor Askov American:
In reply to Chris. Frederik-
sens article of last week, d.
rectly addressed to me, l wish to
state that that article is not the
development of a misunderstood
ing, but a case of not wanting
to understands tubbornness-as
one of my first remarks at the
last parent-teachers' meeting was
to the effect that l did not doubt
the truth of his statements, but
that the arrangements in the
Danish rural schools that l at
tended differed somewhat from
the system outlined in his article
two weeks previous to the meet
ing.
After Chris. Frederiksen in
formed the meeting that | had
called him mot exactly liar
but the next thing to it" | again
made the same statement. The
following day Chris. came to me
where | am working, and asked
me to read an extract of the
Lehman article which was also
published by him in last weeks
American. At this time l again
assured him-for the third time
that l had simply referred to
the schools that | attended, SO
l fail to see any reason for the
publishing of his insulting article,
except that he must harbor an
unusually strong desire for seeing
his own name printed below a
newspaper article.

received with cheers. That shows

Judging what was what as re.

indorses their sentiments he is
probably in better company than
he would be among a group OF

In conclusion l would say that
it is best to forget about the war

editor talks of sending one. OF

Editor Askov American:
In my last article an attempt
was made to express the view
of, farmer as the tiller of the
soil; it dealt only with the ma
terial benefit possible to obtain
through a high school education.
The object of this article will be
to discuss to how great an extent
high school course will help the
youth to solve the problems of
life. :
This man has no authority
and no ability to discuss the pro-
blem of education as he has not
much education himself" How
often do we not hear this re-
mark? Is it justified? If it is
merely a discussion as to what
kind of textbooks would be best
to use or questions of similar
nature the remark is probably
right but if the educational
problem is discussed as a life
problem there is no reason why a
high grade education should
make very much difference as to
the ability of discussing this
problem intelligently.
The life problems that we-the
common people need to think
very much about are of course
our own problems; and where

THE AMATEUR EDITOR

.f 4. = =
When Will Carleton's old far
mer discovered that his son, Jim,
was good for nothing else on
Gods earth he concluded to "be
maxim an editor out'en of him."
That practice seems to prevail
today-when a man fails at
everything else he is apt to be
seized with a yearning ambition
to become an editor. He may
not have sufficient sense to steer
a blind mule through a potato
patch even though the rows be a
rod apart. Therefore he wants
to become an editor and begin
moulding public opinion. In
the course of time he gets trusted
for a shirt tail full of pied type,
a Pre-Raphaelite press, lays in a
job lot of editorial Yves, saw
dust cuspidor, girds up his loins
and begins to commence. He may
not know whether Adam Smith
wrote the Wealth of Nations"
or the Lords prayer, but he
doesn't hesitate to take issue
with every economist from
Quency to Walters. He utilizes
his paste pot for an arc light and
plays at liberty enlightening the
World. He exchanges advertis-
ing acreage for something to eat,
unfolds his wing-like ears and be-
gins to soar only to come down
beam first on some rocky islet in
the Iscarian sea. However as
long as it lasts he imagines that
when he places the awful seal of
his disapproval on some fellow
mortal that he will shrivel up

WHY EDITORS GROW GRAY.

Dear Editor: week your
paper contained the information
that a baby boy was born to Mr..
and Mrs. R. Schmitz at Utica on
Saturday. Your informant was
correct in every detail except
that it was a girl and not boy;
she was born Sunday instead of
Saturday; the proud parents are
Mr.. and Mrs. R. Schwartz in
stead of Schmitz; and they make
their home in Union instead of
Utica. Otherwise the item is
alright and contains very much
valuable information. Yours
truly, etc.
