Who sponsored the law that pro-

films in interstate commerce?
The law was passed two years aft
er the fight for the heavyweight
championship between Jack john
son, Negro, and Jim Jeeries. The
showing of the moving pictures of
that fight prompted the passage of
the law. 1t was believed that the
pictures were directly responsible for
melting a number of race riots
which broke out in various parts of
the country following the fight.

Sixteenth Century Attitude

The movement of intolerance
which has become Senator Hef1in's
obsession, which consumes most of
his time and absorbs most of his 10y
atty, is just another piece of destruc-
tive, irritating and profitless effort.
1t not only is at variance with she
spirit Of the Constitution of the
United States, but with the spirit of
American tradition. 1t is built on
fantastic dreams, and represents
nothing so distinctly as a reversion
to the sixteenth century attitude. 1t
is out of line with those essentials
Of liberty which have made this
country and this age possible.

End Cofhnism

AS means of putting an end forever to
"Cofinism" in Marion County the meeting
yesterday of the Republican Reorganization
League is step in the right direction.
It's entire aim, purpose and intention was
ably summarized by George L. Denny, when
he said:
1.-THE only test Of membership in this or
ganization is unselfsh loyalty to our party prin-
ciples.
''This movement is for the purpose of unit
ing the loyal Republicans of Marion County for
the approaching campaign into solid working
organization of simon-pure Republicans under
leaders who will recognize no loyalty beyond
the duty to our party
Such platform, and it need not be longer
or more involved, spells the end of the regime
of George v. Coffin, erstwhile Marion County
boss
1t spells the end Of his reign because the
type of men who will subscribe to such a force
full succinct creed can have no use for and will
not tolerate the kind of politics that Coffin
plays.
It spells 'fnale" for an administration of
party politics that has known no depths to
which it would not sink in it's mad desire for
power and more power.
1t means death and disintegration-an
they will be cheered-to policy that has stood
O.. Id
sonalities in its mad desire to rule.
The lesson learned at the cost of six indicted
councilmen, an ousted mayor, who has asked
high court to reverse his conviction, Gov
ernor going to trial shortly, the State banking
examiner and his deputy indicted, with the
former head Of the Republican party Of the
State indicted for an evil he inveighed most
against, will not soon be forgotten.
That lesson must not be forgotten. It will
not be forgotten so long as its membership
and that membership should embrace every
Republican voter in the State-remembers that
the only test of membership is ''unselfsh 10y
atty to party principles.
If that means that one need not belong to
the Ku-Klux Khan and know it's secret signs
vote dry and drink wet; If that means that
decency in politics must prevail because poll
tics is the science Of government, to be Re-
publican, then Coffin and his crowd have made
their last stand.
Let it be hoped that when the Republican
Reorganization League begins to function that
it will make the heads Of the party in the pre-
cinct, in the county, in the district and in the
State answerable to the workers and the people
and not the voters subservient to them.
1t is an insult to the intelligence of the
average voter to elect a precinct committee
man and have him kicked out because George
v. Coffin didn't like the kind Of ties he wore
and at times it took no more excuse or reason.
It is foreign to the principles of our govern
ment to make the will of the people subservient
to false leadership and such a plan can and
must not live.
That is why the new league properly man.
aged and helped by those interested in clean
politics will end Cofinism.
Let it begin to function today.

When we consider that 1t Is
possible to urge and force retire
ment of judge-we are thinking
Of the Montgomery case, where
Governor Jackson and others took
a change of venue possibly be-
cause that judge had rendered
preliminary rulings adverse to the
defendants - we must conclude
that there is entirely too much
lax leeway in our current court
procedure. Defendants are entitled
to a registration of their position
completely-to every opportunity
to assert every possible legal right
and to open every available av-
enue, but there is nothing fair
about permitting clever attorneys
to gum up judicial procedure with
changes and delays. For the sake

Ais Following Grows

- Because Heflin comes from the
South and because the Democratic
convention will be held in that Sec
ton, some people jump to the con-
clusion that this latest TRADE is to
be taken seriously.
The first reaction is impregnate
with hints and suggestions Of trou-
BILE at Houston, especially for Gov
ernor Smith.
This is tommyrot.
Hefln has not changed a vote.
He has merely made a peculiar kind
of noise for those who like it.
If Heflin has made any converts,
one way or the other, which is
doubtful, it is for the cause and
the candidate he is trying to de-
stroy.
The chances are that AL Smith
not only has a more determined
following, but larger one, in the
South than he had Tuesday night.
Who is the author Of the follow
ing lines?
"The old order changeth, yielding place
new;
And God iuIaIIs Himself In many ways,
Lest one good custom should corrupt the
world"
They are from Tennyson's "Pass-
ing of Arthur" in "Idylls Of the
King"
FROM what sources is musk, used
as a perfume, obtained?
From the musk deer. The most
favored variety is known as Chinese
musk, imported from Tonquin.
Other kinds are from India and
Siberia. Bauer in 1890 succeeded in
producing an artificial musk that is
now largely employed

Must Not Split Fees

Probably more important than all else taken up
at the session of the New York State section of the
American College of Surgeons the other night at the
Academy of Music Brooklyn the matter of split
ting Of fees between physicians and surgeons.
A citizen indisposed calls on physician for con-
sultation The physician decides an operation is
necessary-often it is not-and sends his caller to
surgeon. Later the physician calls on the surgeon
for his share of the fee paid
This most unethical practice, long complained Of
is said to be insisted on by many physicians.
"The result of this practice is that there are in
finitely more operations than necessary" said
Mr. Robert jolly, superintendent of the Baptist Hos
pital, Houston, Tex "a physician of this type with
prospective profit in mind will often urge patient
to be operated upon when operation is unneces-
sary."
This is plain talk and to the point, and Mr. Jolly
is to be highly commended for his frankness and
his courage.
But he did not stop here. He added that the asso-
citation had adopted ruling that any hospital which
employs such physician shall be stricken from the
list of institutions approved by the profession.
This is even better and will be highly appreciated
by the public. At times operations are necessary
Oftener they not Today diagnosis has been
reduced almost to an exact science and prevention
by careful examination is better than possible cure
by ruthless cutting.
We are sure Mr. Jolly will be supported by the
reputable portion of the healing art
The other portion must be looked out for.

What Other Editors Think

of the good name of the State of
Indiana, the people hope that
their Governor may be found not
guilty of the serious charges which
have been brought against him.
But they are anxious that speedy
determination of the truth be
made, and they very properly OBJ
ject to every unnecessary delay in
the proceedings to that end. We
can not understand why the Gov
ernor himself, if he is innocent as
he contends, and as we hope,
should not more strongly demand
the advancement of his trial with
all possible haste.

Mine INDUSTRY
DATACIVEN AT 'U''
Annual Directory Shows That
State Produced Over &c.
100000 Tons in 1927

Minnesota produced nearly four
seventies of all the iron ore mined in
the United States during 1927 it is
shown in the annual Minnesota Min
ing Directory, 1928, just published
bv the Experiment Station of the
University of Minnesota College of
Mines. National production was
around 65,O0O,OOO tons, of which Min
nescta mines shipped 36,504,854
tons. The 1927 shipments represent
a decrease of about 100000 tons
under 1926. The basic price of STAN
dard ore was $4.55 ton, delivered at
Lake Erie ports. Standard ore con-
tains 51.5 percent iron. y
More than a third of the ore ship
ped from Minnesota mines has been
treated by crushing, washing, sinister
ing or screening to eliminate waste
matter or improve it's form for smelt-
ing, the report shows. Mines ex-
perts point to these figures as show
ing that mines are gradually getting
into deposits of lower grade that can
be shopped straight" Big invest
ments have gone into crushing and
washing plants on the ranges in re-
cent years. More than 100000
tons of ore went through beneficial
ton" of one sort or another last year
before it was dumped into cargo boats
at the twin ports.-
The report states that the esti-
mated reserve tonnage of Minnesota
ore on May 1927, exclusive of nom
merchantable, low-grade ore, was l.
1862, $500 tons tons. Ore that is
non-merchantabh amounted to bill
lions of tons, of which approximately
1876, 100000 tons is carried on the tax
records.
1t is to find means of making these
ores useful, and therefore an asset
to the state as we'll as to their own
ers and the committee in which they
lie. that most of the experiments at
the Mines Experiment Station are be-
ing conducted.
Other figures on the mining indus
try show that $4,000 men were en-
ployed in st. Louis, Itasca and Crow
Wing county mines, an additional 81
900 on railways chiefly serving
mines, and 1000 in the shipping end

RENVILLE FARMER
MADE BUREAU HEAD
A. J. Olson Becomes Leader of
Minnesota Farm Bureau Up
on Resignation of Reed

Upon the resignation of President
Reed of the Minnesota Farm Bureau
September 9Th, A. j. Olson of Rem
vile became the head of the State
Bureau.
Mr.. Olson was born and reared in
the Renville community and received
his eduaction in the local schools.
Later he entered and graduated from
the University of Minnesota. The
next six years were spent in teaching
school, four years in Minnesota and
two years in Montana where he
taught what is known as county
school. In this work he had charge OF
the agricultural wor. Since that time
for a period of eleven years Mr.. OIL
son has been operating combined
stock and dairy farm near Renvilie.
The dairy herd on this farm IS
worthy of special note as number
of individuals in the herd of 35 Hol-
stems have stood very high in testing
association records and the herd as a
whole has often been at the top as
TO production.
Three or four hundred hogs are
raised and "fed out" each year on
this farm, some of it done by the
process of "hogging off" from 60 to
80 acres each year, thus making the
hogs do their own husking.
Another big business on the Olson
ranch is feeding of beef cattle. Every
year from three to eight carloads OF
cattle are shipped in to be run thru
the feed lot and reshipped to market.
Besides this usually several hundred
sheep are fed. Belgian horses are
used extensively in the farm work,
usually about seventeen head kept
for this purpose.
The farm is ideally located for a
dairy and cattle ranch being within
short distance of Renville. The
buildings are Of the modern type
making it handy for the work that
has to be done swiftly and accurate
ly.
Mr.. Olson for all of his other activ-
tiles has at all times been keenly in
terested in the farmer and the farm
er's problems. He has been vice
president of the State Farm Bureau
for six years, president of the County
Farm Bureau four years and has been
on the board for ten. The farmers
have a champion in the new presi-
dent who will see to it as far as he
is able that the farmer will be bene-
fitted at all times
