CANDY PRESS ENDORSES
SHIPSTEAD

The Candy Press recently contain
ed the following warm endorsement
of Senator Henrik Shipstead:
six years ago he was sent to the
United States Senate with the largest
majority given any candidate for
public office that year. Still certain
businessmen, even from the small
towns, almost apologized to Washing
ton for sending him there. Few if
any had ever gone near the place
where he spoke in his campaign. But
the Senator won step by step. Wash
ington expected a half wild cowboy,
or a back-woods farmer. But they
met a highly cultivated gentleman.
And what was more Washington lik-
ed him. The sneering party at home
who expected to hear about his fail
ure in the capitol city of the nation
received the surprising report that
the most august senators listened
when the Viking gentleman from
Minnesota took the floor. And so the
Senator became respectable. Reac-

FAIR WEATHER in FRANCE

Not for a long, long time-if ever
has the weather in France been so
fair as is the case this summer. Po-
litically and financially, the horizan
is for the moment clear. Parliament
has risen for the holidays; and al
though it will be faced with serious
problems when it meets again in
October its achievements were con-
siderable. The franc was stabilized,
the largest housing scheme ever pro-
posed by France was voted, and Ray
mond Poincare was given a majority
which the country interprets as
meaning that this able and beloved
statesman will continue to be the
head of the Government throughout
the summer.
In the course of the discussion about
lstabilization figures came to the sur
| face which show that the national
| finances of France are in far more
flourishing condition than most
Frenchmen had believed possible. Sir
Robert Horne, ex-Chancellor of the
British Exchequer, speaking in Paris
recently said that French exports
had augmented 25 per cent during
the past two years, which is proof of
the Progress being made. Prosperity
is coming to France, if, indeed, it has
not come already, and the experience
after the war with so many subse-
quent years of plodding rehabilita-
tion is delighted to the French.
| At the conference of the heads of
the French north African colonies
and protectorates, it was decided to
unite them by single railway sys-
tenn extending through them all; to

THAT ONE EYED AUTO

Next in danger to a drunken auto
driver is one eyed auto. For some
simple reason one of the lights is out
1t may be broken connection. One
of the wires has been Jared loose
or it's broken bulb wire which a few
cents will replace, or some simple
thing that will take but a few min
utes and a little brains to repair, but
this is an age of speed, We'll wait till
there's more time and so it isn't done
1t is generally the right hand light
the very worst. An approaching car,
perhaps on a narrow road, judges his
turn out by the distance from the
light and when too close to turn he
discovers it and a collision is al
most a certainty. Better have no
lights.
There is law imposing a heavy
fine for such an offense and it should
be enforced. Every person owning or
driving an auto should consider him
self committee of one to enter a
complaint to the proper official, CIV
ing the name of the owner and the
number of the license and then see
that it is enforced.-Grygla Eagle.

and DRAW WARRANTS on the coun-

and DRAW WARRANTS on the coun-
ty auditor for these payments.
Now, will somebody please tell me
what right the county probate Judge
and county attorney have to draw or
ders on the county treasury without
the action of the county board?
Did the state confer this power
upon the above mentioned officers?
If so, what right has the state or the
legislature to give any person or per-
sons the right to pay money to any
body out of a fund which they do not
control?
If these people are receiving money
from the county poor fund then they
should receive it through the county
commissioners as do the inmates of
the poor farm. The state legislature
does not appropriate funds for these
pensions, and certainly we are not
going TO allow the state to tell us to
whom we must pay money for such
pensions. Evidently other counties
are not so generous or they would not
be crowding in here to get on this
peyroll.
Now let our candidates for the
legislature come out with an exlhana-
ton of some action to put a stop to
the drain on public funds and let our
candidate for probate judge tell US
what his policy is to be for the next
four years. If he plans on letting
this pension farce run along in this
slipshod way for the next four years,
we ought to know it now so we can
all arrange some way of getting in on
it. Having paid for years, it might
be all right to be paid now for few
years.
What is the matter with Pine coun-
ty anyway? Is everybody dead and
waiting for the undertaken? Why
not everybody register your objection
to these abuses by going to your
commissioner, DOR to the probate
Judge and county attorney? Write
them. You will save yourself more
graft stamped out.
Good mothers deserve anything we
are able to do for them. They will
ask little. Slack, inefficient mothers
and shiftless grafters should have
their children sent to a home where
they will be trained in morality,
thriftiness, and good citizenship.

tutions for homeless children

WALKING ON ROADS

We note in an exchange where an
estimable woman was struck and
killed while walking along a high
way, motorist running into her
while going around another car in a
binding rain. This deplorable trag-
edy can be used here and now as an
object lesson to people, and as a
warning to them of the danger that
accompanies every one who walks on
road over which autos are operated.
The general rule of the road is, of
course, to stay on the right. But this
has been found to be more unsafe
than walking on the left-hand side.
When one walks on the right-hand
side of the road he is directly in the
path of machine coming up from
the rear which cannot be seen. This
puts the burden of watchfulness on
the motorist and if anything occurs
to obscure vision, such as the head
light of an approaching machine, it
is almost impossible to see unlighted
objects ahead. Many accidents occur
from this cause. 1t is safer to walk
on the left-hand side of the road, fac
ing traffic coming in the opposite
direction that in case of an emergen-
cy one can step into the untraveled
part of the highway even leap into
the ditch if necessary, to achieve full
safety.
But the principal thing is to be
safe, and to realize that with auto
traffic growing heavier every month
every road is a dangerous road. And
teach the children the advantage of
using the left-hand side of the road
or to avoid the road altogether if there
is convenient path that will serve
their walking purposes and keep
them off the main. part of the road
altogether Belle PLANE Herald.

tionaries and progressives all claim
ed him as their man and all wanted
to hear him. So today he has over
400 speaking engagements extended
to him. 1t is gratifying to see how
the town people as well as the farm
ers flock to the platforms from where
he is to speak. Even a boisterous
fair crowd can sit quietly for more
than an hour and listen. They all
find in him friend for Righteousness
and justice, a man exceedingly hard
to replace.
But we his old friends are CRATE
full that he still is the same straight
forward friend that we learned to
know some eight, ten years ago, when
it was anything but respectable to
speak as the senator and hundreds OF
other leaders speak today.
HE has won and we have won, God
give us more such men,"

THE UPLIFTED THUMB

Automobile tourists from Mime
apolis and st. Paul report many boys
and young men along the road, asking
for rides. The uplifted thumb is the
signal of this tribe. 1t no doubt
seems very mean to them when a
motorist with empty seats slips
|sweetly along, and declines their APP
peal to take them up.
Many cases occur where a driver
feels called upon re- take these people
in, and feels he is helping people who
are worthy of such a favor. But the
objections to the habit are so serious
that school authorities in many pla-
ces have done the best they could to
stop this fad
A great many boys form the habit
of begging rides for short distances
which they Should cover on their own
legs, and they need to walk for their
own good, These boys often stand
way out in the street, wildly gesticu-
lating,, and they force cars farther
out in the road, and cause accidents.
Some young men who are earning
their way through colleges and
schools have managed to save some
expenses by going back and forth
through hitch hiking, and they are
entitled to this friendly lift. But for
every one of these, there are several
boys and young men who are bum
ming their way around the country
just for pleasure and restlessness,
and who are encouraged by their abil-
ity to get free rides. These fellows
would better stay at home through
their vacations and do some regular
work. No kindness, is performed by
helping out their wanderlust.
The habit of begging rides suggests
to boys that it is possible to get
something for nothing, and those who
get in that habit are apt to make
many mistakes. Considering how
frequently the bandits and hOld-up
men use the uplifted thumb as the
means by which they get into a car
and get the drivers money from him,
it is not SURPRISING that there is
growing reluctance to extend this
favor.-Mille Laos County Times.

ing, some more rigid steps than seem
now to De on foot. may be taken to
the end there will be a little more
safety, at least, in motoring.
Each day the number of deaths
from car accidents increases; the
number of men. women and children
MANNED, perchance for life, grows
with astounding rapidity. Still, there
are those who pay little or no atten-
ton to the Handwriting on the wall"
They probably never read the lists of
the dead and injured" in the news
papers. What do they care for life
or two-so long as that life belongs
to someone else.
There are accidents every day, OF
course, which are unavoidable, and
wherein nobody is to blame. These,
though, are rare as compared with the
number where the accident could
have been avoided if someone had
been more careful. Excessive speed
and recklessness and drunken driving,
are responsible for the great majority
of accidents.
AS the American views the situa-
ton, the lawmakers ought to start
with the automobile manufacturers.
They are making cars nowadays capa-
BILE of a rate of speed entirely too
high. 1t seems quite reasonable to
believe that, if the manufacturers OF
automobiles were restricted in the
matter of speed in making automo-
biles, to, say 35 miles an hour, there
would be a very noticeable decrease
in the number of automobile fatal
tiles.
That wouldn't solve the problem en-
tirely. but it undoubtedly would go a
long way. As it now is, though, it
seems that every auto manufacturer
is exerting every effort to Guido his
competitor in the matter of speed,
with the result that car drivers seem
to have caught the fever until they
fairly itch to "step on 'er and hit
so per hour"
This newspaper makes no attempt
to solve the problem, nor does it claim
to know anything about what is to
be done. All it does do is, to claim
that something must be done-and,
quickly.
