COUNTY SHOULD OWN AND OPERATE
SNOW PLOWS

Stearns county should own and operate several
modern snow plows to keep the county roads open
the year round.
Todd county, smaller, and with less resources
than Stearns, operates several plows and every
county road is passable practically every day in the
year, regardless of the fall.
Sank Centre business men were hard hit a year
ago when Todd county kept the Fairy Lake road
open to the county line about 2h miles west OF
Sank Cenrre-the balance of the road was impas-
sable. The result was that the farmers felt that
Sank Centre business men did not care for their
business. Arrangements have been made this year
to keep the road open-but the work will be done
by the Todd county pows.
With the advent of the State Highways and all
year round open roads on the trunk highways, the
old order of things has changed and farmers are
demanding, and rightly SO, that the county roads
be kept open. Several months of the year the
county roads in Western Stearns county are in
splendid shape but with the fall of snow they are
closed good portion of the winter.
The Herald understands that rotary plows of
sufficient size to meet the demands cost about
$4,000 EACH
The county commissioners to be commend
ed for the splendid roads they have built and are
building. To the Herald it appears that it would
be good judgment to purchase half dozen, or what
ever number of plows necessary, to keep the
county highways open for traffic IL months in the
year.
The necessity of snow plows is very forcibly
brought to the minds at this time. Every merchant
in Sank Centre and other cities and towns in the
county have purchased large stocks to for the
Holiday trade which they naturally expect. Farmers
cannot get to town and trade territory is limited
The loss the Stearns county business will sus-
tain this winter because of inaccessible highways
will be more than the cost of the snow plows
Above all, the farmer living on county high
ways is as much entitled to all year round roads
those residing on the trunk highways.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1927-12-15
COOPERATE WITH STATE HIGHWAY
DEPARTMENT

1t is too bad there should have been any con-
Aict between the City of Sank Centre and the Min
nesota State Highway Department.
1t was unfortunate that one of the large snow
plows parked on Main street while the men oper-
atng the pillow getting something to eat should
have been ordered off the street.
The Herald understands that the department
proposed to locate couple OF large snow ploWs IN
Sank Centre during the winter months. Alexandria,
for instance, furnished place to store these ma
chimes without any cost to the department Located
as Sank Centre u.s. the junction point of three trunk
line highways, it appears to the Herald that this
city could afford to do as we'll by the departments
as has Alexandria and other cities.
No city in Minnesota has been treated more
fairly or more generously by the State Highway
department than has Sank Centre.
The opening of the trunk line highways into
this city with the shortest possible delay means
much to the business of Sank Centre.
The Herald has felt the public pulse on this
matter and we are certain that the desire is for the
city authorities to make every possible concession to
give the Highway department anything they desire
within reason.
The Herald editor is somewhat familiar with
the demands made by the department on Sank
Centre up to the present time, and nothing unreas-
enable has been suggested.
Do not kill the goose that has laid the golden
egg.

TAKE YOUR OWN STRAW VOTE
portland Oregoni

The first venture of the political season into
the great indoor sport of taking straw vote is to
be credited to the Spokane Spokesman Review. "A
week ago The Oregonian noted the early resulus,
and now, in accord with its duty impartial
and responsible chroncler of events it records the
finals.
The canvass, it appears, covered 108 towns
and rural routes in Washington. The names were
selected at random from telephone directories, and
one-thri of them were names of women. There
was effort to segregate Republicans and Demo-
crats though the QUESTIONABLE was only as to the
Republican candidate for president, with first, sec
ond and third choices. There were about 500 valid
ballots, and the result was:

a canvass means much to the inquiring mind; other
times it conveys nothing. The friends of all the
candidates except Mr.. Hoover viii have their doubts.
Naturally. But they have their remedy. They can

Thus it will be seen that Hoover had more
frstchoice votes than all others together, and led
on all choices; Hughes was second on first choice
but third on all choices; Dawes was third on first
choice but second on all choices and Lowden fourth
and Longworth fifth on first and all choices.
OF course, one straw vote doesn't name can

THE BUNK ABOUT MOTHERS
(By William Allen White)

The Oswego mother who allowed her 15-year-
old daughter to go to Kansas City on shopping
trip unattended is surprised that the girl disap.
peared.
Upon which text we desire to submit few
marks upon the subject of mothers
The mother business is one of the most over
advertised lines in the world
Whenever a sob-squadder desires to turn
the faucet of our tears, he begins tremulous talk
about mothers being the sacredest things alive.
Good mothers sacred; so good fathers.
But when you consider how many mean, orn-
cry nothing do-less people there in the
world don't forget this great important fact:
Some fool woman in the mother business, neg
lecting her real duty is responsible for this mean
ness more than any other one thing.
man may put the devil in ms children.
But in nine cases out of ten the mother can
breed it out train it out or love it out if she will
work on the job.
lot of women get an idea that they can rest
on the glory of merely being mothers.
lot of mothers think that just because poets
have had lot to say about sacredness of mother
hood there is nothing else to do.
But fool people usually are the result of fool
mothers.
Charity workers in every town know of scores
of instances where men earn fairly good wages,
and where the in their shiftlessness, aziness
and meanness have put the family in poverty and
want.
They can't cook; and they know nothing of
taking care of children; they live out of sacks and
cans; they CAD the streets by day, and 60 to pic
ture shows at night; they can't sew, and they won't
clean up the children
They haven't the character to make the chill
dren mind, and they too thriftless and idle
minded to keep the house much better than pigsty.
mother is "the hottest thing alive" only when
she is the embodiment of intelligent, consecrated
love.
When she is merely brood animal, when she
is either slattern if she is poor, gadabout and
bridge fend if she is rich, she deserves no more
credit for being mother than she does for having
warts or a high instep.
The gush about motherhood being so holy a
function has forressed lot of fool females in their
folly.
And the blessed time is coming when the soft
pedals are going to be taken off motherhood and
put on womanhood plus horse sense.
When women know something about what they
are going into as married women-whether they are
rich or poor-there will be more in the sacredness
of motherhood than the poets ever have sung about
New civilization must be learned, and the SOON
er the law cracks down on fool girls who go into
matrimony caked in ignorance and breed fool chill
dren who raise hell in the world the better will this
old world be.

Marie Learns About Fame

Fifteen-year-old Marie Antrim. after her
brief hour of glory in Chicago. where she was
crowned health queen of the United States, is
back on the farm in Kingman county, Kansas,
her education well under way.
The education we speak of is coming to Marie
through the mails, which bring her every sort
Iof interesting whatnot. A tooth paste manu-
facturer is interested in knowing what kind OF
paste Marie uses. "A health food manufacturer
asks her if she ever used the kind his company
makes. Congratuatory letters come from here
and there, from governors and politicians and
health and social organizations.
A number of other Antrims from other parts
Of the country are trying to trace some rela-
tionship with this girl. They want her to tell
them about her paternal grandparent and
where her paternal grandparents father was
born.
One odd lack noted-there have been no mash
notes or proposals of marriage for Marie thus
far. Perhaps that is because Marie didn't wear
a bathing suit when she was having her picture
it is because her healthy, whole
some appearance, scared away this class of
trade.
Marie is taking it all philosophically, helping
her mother with farm duties, attending high
school, being the same girl she always was, and
reading plenty of mail.

The Silent Victim
Duluth Herald)

When person meets violet death through
malice or negligence, he is quickly forgotten.
His heart having ceased to beat and his tongue
to speak, few interest themselves to correct the
evil that caused the tragedy.
In cases of what seem to be malicious killing
the survivor, surrounded by friends, backed
by lawyers, proceeds to demonstrate his own
virtues and his innocence of evil intention
Well he knows that the silent dead will not rise
to confront him.
There is too much of this. There is too much
sympathy for the criminal and too little for
the victim. The victim was granted no mercy,
was given no trial and often was cut off in the
full enjoyment Of life. His widow and his be-
reaved orphans are not helped. Everyone
|of the laxative killer.
This will not do. Society, even for selfish
reasons IN lieu OF better, must take up the
defense of the dead. It often happens nova
days that after the death the victims memory
is blackened and thereupon the accused is set
free. What travesty!
The day has come for straight thinking. It
is murder for anyone to take life because he did
not like his victim, because the victim had done
the kilera wrong, big or little, real or imagined.
or because he was weary Of seeing the victim.
Such murders usually are as blamable as q
killing merely to set the money of the victim.
In short, no one may judge another, SEN
tence him todeath and execute him. It is for
the courts to punish il there be guilt. The
time is here when good men and women are to
take the side Of the silent victim, the forgotten
man or woman.
The time is here too when judges must see
that their courtrooms are not merely vaudeville
shows where shallow and eabby lawyers star.
The time il here when the American bar must
make it the duty Of lawyers, officers Of courts.
