"AMERICAN" CRIME WAVE

Much is being said and written
concerning the ''crime wave" in this
American country of ours. w. u.
Calderwood, erstwhile candidate for
governor and an implacable dry,
looked into the matter and in his let
ter to the press has said the follow
ing which sounds rather queer in the
face of the hullaboo being raised
ever the American" crime wave.
He said:
Americans" are such criminals!
No wonder the world stands aghast
1t Yankee" degeneracy. Douchow-
ski, Staleski, Schraeder, Rizo, Tor
lez and Roa, murder convicts, broke
iail in Illinois. Leopold and Loeb,
also murder convicts, have said to
have been the brains of the getaway
while one, Gonzales, and Roa's sweet
heart, Signoretta Juanita Gallardo,
smuggled the saws and guns to the
ccnvicts. The same day Russo and
Pasquale made an unsuccesstu at

simultaneously gang war broke
cut in Chicago, and reputed "Ameri-
can" bootleggers, Fiori, Knocil and
Hubahcek, were killed and "a noted
roadhouse proprietor named Sacca
was missing. The Genna liquor gang
is suspected of the killings. A few
hours later another flareup in gang

"NOONANISMS"
(From the Baudette Region)

(From the Baudette Reglon)
A former school teacher in a west
ern state died recently, leaving an
estate of $140,000, which goes to
show that teaching pays if the
teacher quits it early enough.
An exchange gives logical rea-
son why editors always call them
selves "we." It's done so that a
reader who doesn't like an article
will think that there are too many to
lick.
One of the worst pests donated by
nature to man is the fly. Kill the
first one before he raises a family.
The voter don't care hoot what
happens in the Schan investigation
by the state senate. They have made
up their minds what they intend to
do at the close of Mr.. Schall's term,
and would like to forget the whole
mess in the meantime.
When you start out to look for
foolishness in the legislature you
DON'T need a search warrant to find
it. The latest example is the fight
between the city and country MEM
bers to grab a part of the gasoline
tax. Let Mr.. Babeock have it to fin
ish his road system.
Life is short and the reckless
crivers are making it shorter.
Every member of the legislature
is bowling about high taxes, and
then many of them howl at Governor
Christianson for trying to keep taxes
down. You can't match those two
pieces of ribbon.
Go easy with the crape-hanging
stuff. 1t never helped any commun-
ity.
A dippy gent at Wheaton, Minne-
sofia, who won the worlds chewing
gum championship by chewing 100
sticks in a day, is to get 500 a week
demonstrating gum for gum COM
pany. Maybe he isn't so crazy after
all.
The weather is warmer but don't
change them. Gambling with
pneumonia is risky business.
The way politics in the state cap
itol are sizzling, the big dome at the
top of the building probably feels
like the radiator cap of a car plough
ing through the mud. And the Schall
mess is supplying plenty of mud.
City paragraphers have a lot of
fun giving their ideas of what consti-
tutes hick town. AS matter of
fact a hick town is a place where
most of our statesmen, financiers,
literary figures and clergyman were
bern. A hick town is a place where
a boy has an excellent opportunity
to lay a foundation for future great
ness.
