Good books are perhaps the one luxury which
the modern world does not regard as a necessity.

1 There is nothing to this getting old stuff
Here's the world thousands of years old and just
see how jazzy it still is.

The Fairmont Sentinel thinks Curtis john

"dramatize situation that will create a state
wide sensation before he finishes his campaign
for governor Mr.. johnson sure has the gift of
CAB, but he wants more than that to construct
la formidable campaign.-Lakefield Standard.

So slight thing is fame! After all the
years that Charles Cheney has written (and
signed) the information which has politically
educated the Philistines of Minnesota, one of the
best of our country weeklies spoke of him the
other day as arthur" Cheney. The Minneapo-
lis Journal should start libel suit in Charles
behalf.

While the money end of education is not the
only end to be considered it is an end. Therefore
it is gratifying to know that figures prove that
book larnin' is really factor in financial sue
cess. Recent statistics show that the average
yearly earnings of Princeton students who have
been out Of college ten years or more is $500.
Of course the skeptical are going to contend that
it is the ten years out of college, rather than the
five or six in, which does the trick.

Alfred Sampson living near Willmar was
as result of an accident in which an aged wo-
man was killed. He plead guilty to driving
while drunk. Nine months for murder! What
is the difference whether crazy man kills with
gun runs down his victim with the equally
deadly car? It is murder or manslaughter in
the first but only a gross misdemeanor to
kill man with a car while the driver is drunk.

Henry Watterson of Louisville said lot of
good things during his life time. For instance
it was he who stated that he was Sin splendid
position to speak on money and morality because
have none of either" And the other day some
full thing to political worriers. He was asked in
his old age, "What have you learned about poll
tics" and squirting back along the avenue of
years he replied, "Well, looking back, I have
found that it didn't make much difference who
was elected" John D. said the other day, "All
my worries are over!" If old age brings that
blessed relief from the carrying the worlds
weight on ones individual shoulders, which these
two men seem to have acquired, we may well all
reach forth our hands in welcome to it.

Ill health and desire to have nothing more
weighty to do than to argue with Frank Day
has caused Joe Reynolds to close his typewriter
| and draw its black hood firmly and finally down
over it. No longer will we open the editorial
page of the Mankato Free Press and be met by
the fearless, scathing or scintillating words of
editorial wisdom which were much Joe as his
sharp eyes, his chuckly laugh or his bristly hair
The Free Press even with it's present staff of
splendid editorial writer's, isn't going to be quite
the Free Press nor have the same interest for
many of us for long time-we have known and
loved Joe too well and too long to be able to
make the change with any such abruptness. He
merits a good rest, good friends, good health
and pleasant time approaching old age for the
next forty years. These are some of the good
things we wish for Joe Reynolds as a well-earn-
ed return for the unlimited good work his pen has
done for his city, his district and his state.

Tributes to Lndbergh have been many and
have ranged all the way from the weird and
melodramatic to the honest and dignified. One
of the best of all those we have read is the fol-
lowing from the brain of Ambassador Myron T.
Herrick who knows the aviator and his victory
as no one else can.
"When Joan of Arc crowned her
| king at Rheims, she became immortal.
When Lafayette risked his all to help
the struggling Americans, he wrote his
memory forever across mighty contin-
| ent Shepherd Boy David in five min
utes achieved with his sling place in
history which has defied all time. These
| three shining names represent the tTi-
umph of the idealism of youth. There
| have been moments here in France,
when all that my eye could reach or my
| intelligence fathom appeared dark and
foreboding, and yet, in spite Of all, my
| soul would be warmed as by invisible
