Denmark has capital punishment-and its
last execution was in 1886. What is your opin-
ion on that?
Minneapolis city government is a dignified
thing these days. 1t is good example for small
town officials to follow-in the opposite direc-

Each year the country is infested with hor-

Aimee Mcpherson and Mother Kennedy are in
the lime light again. It does seem as though
those two women might wash the family linen
down in the family basement and let it go at
that.
"There will be folks in heaven who
will play no music. They will prefer
to throw harps at the angels."-Ex.
And the way most of them will play said
harps if we were an angel we would much prefer
to take chance on being hit.

Over across the sea they have somehow form
ed the notion that typical American patriot is
he who hangs out the flag on holidays if remind

second line, forgets to register or vote and kicks
out the the others have voted into office.

In 1924 there were 120 women delegates
to the national Republican convention. In 1928
the number had shrunk to "a. That should give
the women Republicans something to think about.
Attending a national convention is a real ex-
perience from many angles-there is no reason
why women should not be privileged to share it
equally with men.
Whether we like Russia and her system of
government or not we have to admit she rather
Showed up" the other European nations in the
way she stuck to the job of rescuing the Attic
flyers. There was no particular reason why she
should have done more than all the other ma
tions put together, but she did. 1t may have
been in spite of the Soviet government and it
may have been because of it-but anyway she did
l. it.
Hoover never forgets to Hooverize but they
do say he forgets to "Fletcherize, eating so rap
idly that if he were small boy he would be sent
away from the table. Arthur Brisbane warns
him against this practice and prophecies that it
will do awful things to his health. "He will live
longer" says Mr. Brisbane, eff he can be per-
suaded to eat more slowly and stop concentrated
thinking at least during meals. Probably that
is good advice for lot Of ordinary folks. too"
Sincerity is not something that
can be taken on and put off. To the
wise observer no pretense can be a
substitute for sincerity You believe in
a man or you don't. What he says to

er than words."-Exchange.
All of which is just another way of express
ing the remark made by that wise old bird whose
name we can't remember "What you are speaks
so loud cannot hear what you saying"

We have a neighbor on the north with whom
we have squabbed off and on for $50 years. We
are always at loggerheads something or
other with Canada. Sometimes we have quar-
relied bounary lines, sometimes we have a
mess of fishery disputes and again and again we
struggle furiously over the tariff, but we never
think of war-not with Canada Canada never
thinks of with US. When we get into our
disputes we appoint a commission and Canada
does the same, and the two commissions sit
down together and thresh the matter out. We
have nothing to fight with along the Canadian
border. We have no battleships on the Great
|
tended border line. We have not prepared for
war. We have prepared for peace We do not
think war. We think peace. Thinking peace we
have peace. If peaceful methods are successful
along this border, why should it be necessary to
build defenses against nations thousands of
miles distant ?-Faribault News

There may be farm problem, in
fact we know there is one, but there is
also a city problem and a serious one too.
1t is described by Herbert Corey, the dis
tinguished newspaper correspondent who
states that young grocer in New York
is planning to establish string of
stores in that city where one can pur-
chase single egg butter by the
spoonful. Such purchases may sound
absurd and small to the people of a rich
farming section like this, but it takes
lot of planning for working girl to
pay her room rent, her car fare, her
/ clothing and other needful things out of
salary of few dollars per week and
salaries for working girls going
