POLITICIANS AT SEA

The political dopester is abroad in the land:
The so-caed "kingmakers' are endeavorlng
to look into the future to try to ascertain the prob
able winners of nominations for National and State
officers in Minnesota next year.
Some of them probably actuated by de-
sire for actual information, and still others nope
to be in position to land with the winners when
the time
The political writer of the Pioneer Press Tues
day morning used column and half of perfectly
good newspaper space in endeavor to diagnose
the situation and did not arrive anywhere.
The Pioneer Press leans very strongly to the
candidacy of former Governor Frank Lowden of
Illinois for the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent. By inference it processes to see a solid
phalanx of the agriculturist of Minnesota from
President Coolidge because he vetoed the McNary-
Haugen Farm Relief bill shortly before congress ad-
journed.
Perhaps the Pioneer Press is correct in its
inference However, if the opinions of many farm
ers adjacent to Sank Centre can be taken as a
criterion the agrcultursts of the North Star State
are not greatly exercised over the veto, as those
who studied the bill carefully failed to discover any
specific relief for their ills in the McNarry Haugen
bill about which so much transformation has been
spread.
The farmers of this section are too busy milk
ing their cows and planting another crop to worry
much about politics year and half before cleo
tfon.

Stop When Signal

New Law Forbids Trying to Beat
Locomotive to Crossing.
Other Safety Rules

Motorists who try to beat the
train to the crossing will face a
new risk under the new Minnesota
traffic code. Even if they get
across the track safely, (Which
many do not, they may face a jail
term or fine, for the new law re-
quires drivers to come to a full
stop at grade crossings wherever
clearly visible and positive signal
gives warning of the immediate alp
preach of railway train or car. "
The same law applies to motormen
where a street car line crosses a
railroad, Failure to stop is mis-
demeanor.
This new provision is in addition
to the old law requiring all drivers
to stop at all times at designated
"Stop" crossings. Another old law
which is retained requires drivers
of vehicles carrying school chill
,dren, passengers for hire, explo-
sives or inflamable liquids to stop
at all grade crossings.
Here are some other provisions
of the new code which it will be
well for drivers in Sank Centre to
remember:
On all highways of sufficient
width, all vehicles must keep to the
right of the center of the roadway,
and slow moving vehicles must
keep near the right curb. This does
not apply to one way streets,
where keeping to the right is i'm

MECHANICAL AGE LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
FOR UNREST

In these days of general unrest in the business
and social world learned philosophers have been
seeking to find the Ira Nelson Norris editor
of Public Affairs, in discussing the question ar
rives at the conclusion that the conditions
backwash following the World War, resulting in the
breaking up of established institutions and a revo-
luton in thought and feeling, especially by the
younger generation.
The prosperity enjoyed by Mr.. Average Ameri
can Citizen during and Immediately following the
World War and the mechanical age of the present
has given to every family advantages that could
not have been enjoyed SO years ago, and are re.
sponsible in large measure for present condi-
tons. A summary of his conclusions follows:
"The radio, the cinema, the cheap
= transportation afforded by the automobile,
give even the children a cosmopolitan at
titude toward the world at large; mass pro-
duction and scientific methods although
they had led to perhaps too great degree
