Cooldge's cryptic 81 do not choose" was
more sensational than red backed novel of the
Nick Carter days.

When men and women really have equal
rights will it be the woman's privilege to change
the tire? We knew there was joker in that
thing somewhere.
We just adore that man Babcock until we
try to drive on that road between Willmar and
Olivia after heavy rain. Then we think vile
things about Charles-and go around by way of
Clara City and Sacred Heart!

We wish all the citizens of the United States
would vote in 1928 with the same eagerness and
avidity with which they are now reading the
pre-campaign news. That would be putting
their interest and enthusiasm to work where it
would do the most good

Hector man upon receiving the three
neckties for dollar from Blind" Pawnee Bill
of St. Louis, put in three old ties and remailed
the package, remarking: "The blind cuss won't
know the difference anyway" Another way out

DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler has made the
dogmatic statement that "for the first time in
two thousand years the world is without single
great man." Fortunately the rest of the world
doesn't judge true greatness by DR.. Buffers
standards-which are apparently bit UNDER
done as are his standards in some other respects.

Governor Ted Christensen says he will be
a candidate for something or other in the 1923
election. But he definitely and emphatically
says he will not announce for what he is to be
candidate, believing that a 1928 campaign
should not start in 1927. Good political sense
that The more they wonder the more inter-
ested they become!

Joy Morgan, editor of the Journal of the
American Education association, wakes us up
when he says:
"Closer cooperation between parents and

cent in Americas crime bill.
"When youth goes wrong we need to face
squarely the causes of the breakdown. Teachers
of long service testify they have never known
a single case of juvenile crime where school and
home conditions were both right"
That's challenge to those who choose our
teachers as we'll as to those who run our homes.
Qualifications for teachers ought to be higher.

1t is rumored that State Senator
L. p. johnson of Lincoln County would
like to represent the Second District in
Congress 1t might be well for him to
hold his hat tight until Frank Clague
| has his fill of the job, which we hope
| will not be for long time. l. P. should
keep in mind that he had about all he
could do to retain the grip on his state
/ Job in the last election.-Nobles County
Times.
We'd call that mighty good advice. The Sec
ond District needs another congressional candi
date Just about as much as the Elephants Child
needs bassinet. L. p. is a good man in the
State Legislature and that is a good place fol
him TO be.

Bob Forrest remarked in The Lake Viii
son Pilot that "the reason the band plays IL
