PASS AJLAW-sToP 1T

j. r. uandy, editor of the Olivia
Times is something of poet. He
feels that the legislature needs lit
tie advice and so in a recent issue
he proceeds to so in verse:
LET'S LEGISLATE
If Murphy's cow breaks down a gate
And feasts on Deacon Wardwell's IS
clover,
Let legislators legislate
To stop more cows from breaking
over
And if Blinks don't like the way
Inwhich Lavinsky's daughter jazzes,
Let's have her stopped without de-
lay,
By legal wherefores and whereases.
In case your neighbor's habits fail
To win your hearty appreciation,
Address your Senator by mail,
And ask for special legislation.
Let's put a proper legal ban
On those who thrust the chests out
proudly;
Be it enacted that no man
Shall let his rooster crow too loudly.
Whereas, to- walk the floor at night
With babies that will not be quiet
Proves clearly that their mothers
might
Do something to improve their diet.
Pile up the laws, extend the shelves
For statutes framed, made and pro-
vided;
Please give up laws to- keep ourselves
From being knock-kneed and lop-
sided.

THE GARROTERS

Cubans, Moros and people of some
other distant lands are infested with
rather dangerous individuals who
slowly strangle their victims to death
by means of ropes about their ene-
mics necks. They are called gar
rioters.
Right here in Minnesota we have
to contend with a group who might
well be termed garroters, because
they are trying, in every way they
know, to strangle the smaller towns
and communities out of existence.
Merchants and business men of Ely
have felt the cords about their necks
for long time, but they have fought
and are still fighting.
Mail order houses, last year alone,
took millions of dollars away from
legitimate channels in Minnesota.
They took many thousands of dol
lars from this city. No one here will
ever get it back. And you, who have
donated sums to that huge amount,
are not so well off as if you had pur-
chased that same merchandise from
your merchant in your own town.
The mail order house is serious
to Ely as well as to other
places. Merchants here need your
cooperation. They have extended
you credit; they have helped to build
and maintain your schools; they have
built your town; they are helping to
build your>roads; all the good things
that have come to Ely or that will
in the future, came with the active
assistance of your own business men.
Did the mail order houses ever help
you to educate your children? Did
they ever offer you credit without
demanding xorbitant interest
through greatly increased prices?
Buy from your home town mer-
chant. He's a friend of yours; he
spends his money in Ely; he's
substantial part of your town; OF
your very life. Don't help the gar
'oters to get strangle hold on the
very life blood of your town.

A western state has passed law
requiring only 80 days residence to
qualify for suing for divorce. Divorce
papers will soon be- as easy to get as
cigarette papers if this kind of thing
keeps up.
The legislators get lot of abuse,
but as IA! matter of fact they are not
so bad. Working at the Capitol for
four months trying to give the peo-
pie what they think they want is a
pretty hefty job.
The legislature while passing laws
against one thing and another, has
failed to pass one against making
the hungry kids wait for the second
table. This is one of the most IN
human practices ever perpetrated,
as any kid will tell you.

The fire alarm siren was kept
busy several days this week screech-
ing out false alarms. The depart
n.ent, in consequence, was kept busy.
Several of the alarms seemed to- be
of the practical joker. variety and
had this funny fellow been caught,
the chances are his memory would
have been somewhat refreshed on the
seriousness of turning in alarms just
to see what would happen. 1t is a
dangerous as well as costly practice
and should be stopped by any means
at hand.

There has been a constant at
tempt to stir up class strife between
farming and. industrial interests.
Since the vetoing of the McNary-
Haugen bill, statements have ap-
reared to the effect that the farmers
were seeking class legislation be-
cause they believed themselves
omitted from the present tariff
schedules.
1t is doubtful if such sentiment
ever emanated from actual farmers.
One has only to read over the tariff
figures applying to our agricultural
products to see the error in such a
statement.
Anyone who will take the trouble
to go through the lists of protected
farm products will see that prac-
tically everything that the farmer
raises is covered by a good duty,
while everything he buys for farm
use comes into the United States
duty free.
The farmers and industry should
not permit themselves to be placed
at cross purposes with each other,
as method of making political capi-
tad for any faction or party. Their
interests are common and they
should work together.

has lost none of his cunning with
the pencil and typewriter nor his in
exhaustable fund of humor and play
lon words. 1t is a welcome addition
