Shot gun shells in the hands of
small boys are dangerous play
things. This fact was proven most
severely to Lester Thompson and
Russell Brewster of Slayton, last
week Tuesday evening, when both
were badly injured. The boys
found an old shot gun barrel and
some shells and contrived the idea
of making cannon. They took
the powder from the shells and
put good charge into the barrel,
they then wadded the end with a
chunk of wood and ignited the
powder with a lighted candle. The
explosion that followed blowed the
barrel to bits and threw frag-
ments thereof in all directions.
Young Brewster sustained a brok-
en- finger and badly burned
hand, a quantity of powder was
buried under the skin in his face.
A small piece of the gun barrel
was found imbedded a half inch
in his chest. Young Thompson re-
ceived a cut above the eye and al
so a quantity of powder in his
face.

The Fairmont Creamery Co., of Sioux
City, Iowa, centralizer dealing in milk,
cream and butter, has assailed the validity
of the Minnesota dairy law, prohibiting price
discrimination of butter, milk and cream.
The law was adopted in 1913, and requires
purchasers in different localities of the state
to pay uniform prices. This law has been OF
great benefit to cooperative creameries and
has. not outlived it's usefulness. 1t has been
very largely responsible for the excellent
price of butterfat and for the prosperity of
farmer organized creameries. The writer
can remember when in Iowa years ago that
centralizers were permitted to raise prices
where they were in competition with coopera-
tive creameries and the dairy business OF that
state suffered. Farmers raised beef cattle
and the creameries closed. Realizing this
situation such men as James Johnston OF
Bertha, senator from the Todd-Wadena dis
trict, and others, fought the law through
both the lower and upper houses of the state
legislature Opposition at that time was
keen and price discrimination took place
throughout the entire state. The dairy in
dustry, now the largest enterprise we have
in Minnesota, was in grave danger at that
time and if the law is found to be unconstitu-
tional will prove to be in greater danger to-
day. The prosperity of Minnesota is based
on the success of the dairy industry and any
thing effecting the cooperative creameries
detrimental to prices the farmers will re-
ceive, will incidentally injure every other
business of the state.

WILL BE DIRTY MESS FROM WHICH NC
GOOD WILL COME

The Minnesota State Senate has gone
into the laundry business by adopting reso-
luton introduced by Victor Lawson OF Will
mar to investigate conditions surrounding the
election of Thomas Schall to the United
States Senate. Following Schall's election in
1924 charges were made of wholesale corrup-
ton in connection with the Senator's cam
paign in which he defeated the idol OF the
Farmer-Labor party, Magnus Johnson.
The alleged charge of corrupt campaign
activities of Schall and his managers were
thrown out of Federal Court; the Hennepin
county Grand Jury heard the evidence and
refused to indict; Magnus carried his wall
to the u. S. Senate The election committee
spent weeks on the case, giving SchalPs OPP
ponents every opportunity to prove their
charges, delaying their report time and again
when Attorney Hughes for Mr.. Johnson
claimed to have dug up new evidence which
would prove his case. Many times this al
legged evidence failed to be introduced and
other times it was merely hearsay. The COM
mittee by a unanimous vote recommended
that Senator Schall be given his seat in the
senate.
The Herald holds no brief for Tom
Schall. He is not now and never was ideal
timber for the United States senate, but
he was eleted to the position by the people
of Minnesota, and we cannot see what good
will be derived by the State Senate, who are
entirely without jurisdiction in the matter,
digging out the alleged dirty linen for an
other airing.
From Washington comes the rantings of
Mr. Schall that the Senate hearing was
initiated and financed by political enemies of
his own party and by inuendo intimates he
will be able to show corruptness in several de-
partments of the Senate.
The senate committee are able men, and
with the exception of Mr.. Lawson they are
not particularly pleased with their assign
ments.
1t will be dirty mess.

Synodical Conference Lutheraz
Churches Stand on the Teach
ing of the Theory of Evolu.
ton

While the support or non-sup-
port of the bill now before the
state legislature to prohibit the
teaching of the ascent or descent
of man from brute ancestors must
necessarily be left to the con-
science and judgment of the indi-
vidual citizen, we do believe that
the present controversy demands
of us a plain statement of our
principles in the matter. These
principles represent the sentiment
of the Synodical Conference Luth-
eran Churches in the State of
Minnesota, composing an aggregate
membership of $4,000 souls.
/. We unequivocally accept the
Scriptural account of the origin
of the world and of man as re-
corded in the first chapter of the
Book of Genesis.
2. We reject the evolutionary
theory regarding the origin of
man as untenable, on Scriptural
grounds, as well as scientifically
unproven. We also regard the po-
sition of so-called "theistic evo-
luton" as irreconcilable with the
plain statements of Scripture and
with the principles of Christian
religion.
8. We believe that the current
presentation of the theory of evo-
luton in unsupported schools is
subversive of the principles laid
down in the constitution of the
State. Our constitution properly
forbids the teaching of religion in
public schools and insists on a
strict separation of Church and
State. But on the same grounds
we protest against the teaching of
irreligion in unsupported schools
of the State. The limitation which
forbids the State to teach religion
does not give it the right to under
mine the faith of the children and
young folks committed to its care.
a. We resent the attempt of a
part of the press to create the inn
preston that efforts are being
made to foist religion onto the
State and to inject religious and
even sectarian restrictions into
our educational system. The con-
trary is the case. One of the prin-
cipal marks Of every religion, be it
Christian, Hebrew, Mohammedan,
o. any other, is that It concerns

shall not be undermined, contra
dicted ,ridiculed or attacked by
teachers who are anxious to pro-
pound their own conceptions, be
these teachers atheists, Bible en-
emies, agnostics, evolutionists OF
adherents of any other set OF
ideas.
5. We resent the impression
which part of the press is seek
ing to create that anti-evolution-
lists are standing in the way OF
progress and enlightenment and
are trying to curb and restrict
scientific research. That is un-
true. We fear nothing detriment-
al to or destructive of Biblical
truth from any scientific source
But evolution is not science
Science deals with established
facts. Evolution is a theory, a
speculation, a hypothesis, or sup
position. 1t has never been prov
en-, in the same sense as the laws
of physiology, physics or chemis-
try are demonstrated. We object
to the presentation of constantly
shifting hypothesis as scientific
facts. VIE have no objection to
the most painstaking study of the
theory of evolution as theory, but
we do object to the teaching of a
theory as an established science
Let it be known that we are
whole-hearted anti-evolutionists
and that our opposition is not
based on intellectual medieval
ism" and general cultural benight-
edness, as a part of the press
would have you believe, but on
soundly Biblical and scientific
grounds.-Synodical Conference

Professor Edwin Kirkpatrick, presidents
of a Massachusetts Normal school in a talk
given at "School for Parents at Chicago
recently, said that "sane petting" was all
right. He insisted it was the perogative Of
every girl to decide by whom she should be
"petted." The Herald doesn't believe the
young people of today are going to the bow
vows. They probably do not do any more
"spooning" than they did generations ago,
but they are more frank about it. Prof
Kirkpatrick insisted that "No girl should be-
come engaged to man who has not aroused
a desire to pet, with whom she has not ex-
perienced pleasure in the touch of his hands
and his caresses and KISSES" A little hui
name sympathy for the younger generation
will have a more wholesome effect than uni
versal suspicion and condemnation.
