SMALL TOWN TALK

Wisconsin promises President Coolidge plen-
ty of trout in exchange for his tourists.
Right off-hand can you tell what names will
appear on the Primary election ballots? Dollars
to doughnuts you can't. Neither can we!
Something is terribly and fearfuIy wrong
in the schools at Hopkins-both the valedictorian
and the salutatorian in the graduating class are
boys. The matter should be looked into.
We find by consulting the map that Brule is
right near Ashland, Wis. That makes it mighty
nice for Congressman Hugh Peavey He can
motor up for breakfast with "Cal" and his wife
every now and then.
One candidate for something or other is US
ing "World Fairs or World Wars" for his slo-
gan. 1t. apparently has no real meaning, nor no
particular bearing upon the problems of gov
eminent in general Therefore it is running
true to form good slogan.
Magnus johnson has finally decided that S.
500 is not to be sneezed at and that since the
Senate allowed him that as a recompense for
his unsuccessful fight with Tom Schal he had
better take it. We hope he gives it to Ma john
son-she is the one who earned it by staying
home and doing the milking while Magnus was
sporting around in Washington. She will save
it too, while Magnus would be sure to spend it
to satisfy some political ambition.
go
Even the enemies of the administration will
have to admit that the president is sincere in his
wish to understand the problems of the north
west and to study its resources Otherwise he
would hardly have selected for two successive
vacations sections so near geographically and yet
so unlike in resources as the Black Hills and
Brule. Both times he has been close to Mime
sofa which shouldn't hurt the North Star States
feelings at all. What the political significance
OF the Wisconsin visit is, is not for an ordinary
individual to surmise.
IF You put my wife in the middle of a desert

IT HE Minnesota voter will probably run true
to form and do a number of silly things
at the June primary. Be hope his
Stiffness will not cause anything so disastrous
as the setting aside of G. A. Youngquist, Repub-
lican candidate for nomination as attorney gen.
eral.
Mr.. Youngquist is now serving his first term,
having been appointed only few months ago by
Governor Christensen While he has a wide &C
quaintance with the duties Of his office through
his connections with it during the past six years,
his acquaintance with the state as whole is
limited Therein lies the danger of his defeat at
the primaries.
Opposing Mr.. Youngquist is one John c.
Larson of Minneapolis about whom little or
nothing was known, save that he is Minneapo-
lis attorney, up to the time of his filing few
weeks ago. Mr.. Larson is making active cam
paign throughout the state, something which
Mr.. Youngquist refuses to do since the duties of
his office are so heavy as to require all Of his
time and his energy at the State House. Again
we say, therein lies the danger.
Even the least thoughtful can readily see
that to again change the head of this most i'm
portant department of state government would
be bad for the state. Mr.. Youngquist has know
ledge, he has ability of the high order required
by his office, he has the confidence of the Gov
ernor, the other state officers and the leading at
torneys of the state. He is working in harmony
with them-a harmony which means much to the
effectiveness of the work given him to do. To let
him be removed by an unknown quality would be
worse than foolish-the possibility contains an
element of real danger.
The Gazette would not ask any voter to cast
his ballot for someone whom the voter did not
know, nor of whose ability the paper itself is not
assured. The purpose of this little article is to
ask each person entitled to vote June 10 to ac-
quaint himself with the facts, to learn some
thing of Mr.. Youngquist's ability in office and
to consider the unwisdom of change now after
work in the office has already been somewhat
and unavoidably disrupted by necessary changes
Taking him out of his place and putting in an
entirely new man, one absolutely unacquainted
with the work of the office, would, in the opinion
of the editor be an unsound procedure. There
fore we asking the votes of the thoughtful
for Mr. Youngquist.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1928-06-06
are not sound and absolutely logical.


Instead of being viciously criticized for his
action, President Coolidge should be receiving un-
stinted praise, particularly from the farmers.
Congress has been playing with the 'farm re-
lief" question for years, using it as political
football, some for personal gain and some for
the purpose of trying to put the President Gin a
hole" 1t is not disputed even by supporters of
the bill that many members of congress would not
have voted for the bill had they not felt certain
the President would veto it. Such members were
honestly opposed to the BILL but for political rea-
sons "passed the buck" to the President. For
tunately for the country, Mr. Coolidge is not a
"buck passing" president but man who has the
courage of his convictions and the honesty to do
what he believes to be right regardless of the
consequences. weaker man would have al
lowed the bill to become law and place the
blame on congress, but Mr.. Coolidge chose the
honorable way and assumed full responsibility
for his action-Rock County Herald.
MANKATO WILL ENTERTAIN
N n ANKATO is putting on big entertain
IVI ment for the high school students who
have won out in various extra-curricu-
lar activities. The honor guests will include not
only athletic stars but those who have been sue
cessful in debate music or essay or in any of
the various things which ambitious high school
students do. Various service clubs of the city
and individual citizens will finance the big par
ty and will show their individual interest by at
tending.
We don't know very definitely what the plans
for the function are, but we know that the idea
back of it is fine and one that should be
adopted by every city that has bunch of stu
dents doing creditable things. 1t should not be
done duty but as pleasure grasping of
an opportunity to show these young people that
their home town is proud of them and wants them
to know it.
1t should become just as much part of the
annual windup of the school year as are the COM
mencement exercises. Just one big Qualification
time in which the whole town shows the young
sters its pride in them! To have the business
men do such thing graciously and spontane-
ously would mean more to the average boy or
girl than any amount of reclamation away from
home at the time of their winning.
1t would also give the town chance to "av-
erage up" its appreciation of athletics and those
other activities which are more purely scholastic
This would be mighty good thing for the schools
and it would also help the citizens to get their
sense of values set straight. Too long have
athletics held the center of the applause of the
admiring multitude-it is time that the more
intellectual pursuits came in for their share of
the appreciation and understanding
