Judge H. G. Hale, Canton, attorney of
record for the power company, dis
missed an amended complaint of the
Indians.

other members of the St. Regis tribe
against the power company.
The plaintiff claimed a treaty, dated
1924. between the tribe and the State
of New York was involved because in
contravention of Federal statutes pre-
sumable inaccurate The action was
regarded by lawyers as a key base, "
which If won by the Indians would
have served as a basis for similar liti-
cation over thousands of acres of land
in the State conveyed in the past by
Indians to the white men.

for the power company.

Herbert Hoover pointed to his speech
OF March IL. 1927, at New Haven,

Il invite your attention to the fact
that certain gentlemen of the opposition
are pretending that your at

these expedient, self-serving roorbacks

present fact and leave the matter to
your own attention"
Mr.. Hoover replied:

the Constitution can give you-life, lib

cannot consider yourselves happy when
you are oppressed with the fear that
you may be arrested for drinking a bev-
erage which your fathers considered
part of their happiness and diet.
BE assured that you have the right
to oppose such oppression. 1t is not
only your privilege to oppose it, but your
duty. l am not pleading for party. I
am pleading for liberty"
The celebration was sponsored by %

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1928-09-07

The recurrent statement that the
farmer suffers from the protective
tariff is disproven by the facts.
1t is held by free trade and low
tariff, advocates that farmers must
buy in protected market and sell
in ruinous unprotected market. An
examination of the tariff laws shows
the reverse Of this to be true.
Practically everything necessary to
agriculture is sold in free trade
market. The list of articles is illum-
mating. 1t includes plows, harrows,
reapers, threshing machines, cultiva-
tors, cotton gins, wagons and other
machinery. Animals imported for
breeding purposes come under this
duty-free provision as do binding
Irvine, all material for fertilizer, build
ing materials, etc.
The second superstition is equally
unsound Farm products protected
by customs duties include almonds,
grapes, apricots, bacon, beef, oranges,
onions, tobacco, wool, prunes, hay, flax,
wheat cattle, butter and long list
Of equally important produce.
It may be that the duties are in
some cases too low and need revision
upward Certainly, a cure for low
duties that afford insufficient protec-
ton from foreign, low wage scale
countries, is not TO drop all duties and
all protection.

HE MUST BE BLIND.

The editor of the Good Thunder
Herald made a motor trip up through
northern Minnesota a week or two
ago. and appears to have gone home
with a very poor opinion OF that sec
ton. He says he saw the monument
for the victims of the Hinckley fire,
the graves of those lost in the Moose
Lake fire, and was rained on in Vir-
ginia. He says we have some good
roads and good-looking school houses,
but that in other respects this region
UP here is total loss.
We don't know this bird. He may
have been all over the world, or he
may have spent his life in Good
Thunder, venturing forth occasionally
for a taste of city life in Blue Earth
or New Ulm. He may be cosmoponte
or he may be hick. He may nave
ratified over northern Minnesota In
an anti-auated f1ivver, or he may have
gracefully fooled Rolls-Royce amid
the scenes of desolation he described.
Whatever he is or has, were on MN
for life. When an editor can't md
anything to rap without picking on
the most beautiful section OF his own
state he is a punque editor, and full
of prunes. He should have kept still
about his trip to northern Minnesota,
and turned loose the bitter venom OF
his pen against the f1eas Of southern
California, the murderous gangs OF
Chicago, the pimply- faced panderers OF
the great white way, the bootleggers
of Washington, or the ague-strlcken
denizens of the Arkansas swamps. He
would thus have avoided giving
offense to the brilliant bevy Of lit
uterati who are wearing out type
writer's trying to create the impress
sion that northern Minnesota is a
regular place to live, and at the same
time have conveyed to his readers a
suggestion that he knew something of
the places he referred to. He would
have been on safe ground, whereas
in this case he is not, since most OF
his readers know that northern Min
nesota is the fairest land under the
stars and stripes. We once knew an
orchestra director who knew next to
nothing about music, yet held wor-
shipping coterie of rich admirers by
always selecting music that neither
he or any in his audiences had ever
heard. When talking through the hat
it is well to choose a subject not
familiar to your hearers.-ISle Ad-

READ AND THINK.

(M F. Hanson in Duluth HeraldD
did you ever stop to think, young
man, of the meaning of the news you
read in your newspaper day after day?
did you ever stop to think of what
it means in teaching the right way of
life for individual, community and
pation2 Did you ever take home to
yourself the warnings it conveys Of
what awaits the nation, community
or individual that breaks the rules of
honor and fair play that were laid
down before the worlds were made?
1.-The wise young man-and young
woman, too-will read the news
thoughtfully, not idly. He will form
his own opinions of the meaning of
what he reads, and he will use his
reasoned deductions to fit him better
to fill the place he should fill in the
life of the community, the nation and
the world.
HE will think of the meaning of
this news to the progress of mankind,
to the fate that this generation is
preparing for the generations that fol-
low; he will think, in a word, Of the
meaning Of this news to his children.
1t what is going on in the world max
ing for them a better world, or a
worse one? A world in which they
shall have larger opportunities, or
lesser ones2 A world more menaced

it is now, of these ugly children of
