We have been trying to remember what Mr..
Average Person read before the Hickman case
and its contemporary cases developed-and we
can't seem to think what was regarded as good
reading matter then. Elmer Gantry perhaps!

President Sargent of the Northwestern Road
told an audience at Rochester last week that

We have lived through what we regret to
admit is a considerable number of presidential
election years. Never yet have we known one
to make or break business conditions. The talk
that political campaigns boom or depress bust
ness is pretty much all hooey-all in the imag-
ination of the politicians.

Fifteen thousand names have been stricken
from the voting lists of Minneapolis because the
owners of said names have failed to vote within
the past two years. How many of these have
moved away-and how many have developed
such weight that they can't get to the polls
these are the questions troubling the get-out-the
vote workers.

Arthur Brisbane wonders what Moses, on
his slow journey out of Egypt, would have

A Minneapolis millionaire died recently and
when his will filed in the probate court the
newspaper reports of its contents failed to men,
ton single bequest for charity or philanthropy
of any kind. The widow, children and grand

He may have been public spirited citizen, but
not when he drew his will. Here's where the in
heritance tax justifies itself.-Springfield Ad-
vance.

Day by day the Rockne-for-Senator cam
paign seems to be gaining. From out over the
state come many comments on Mr.. Rockne's sus-
pected campaign and practically all of them are
strong endorsements. The loyal state will not
forget that as State Senator Mr.. Rockne's work
has been exceptional-so exceptional that there
is little reason for suspectng that he will weak
en- or slow up when he gets into the United
States Senate. Whatever the outcome of the

of Rocknes who hope for chance to vote for
him early and often.
