Think big talk little, love much, laugh cas-

The inevitable has happened and Senator
Shipstead has filed for reelection on the Farmer
Labor ticket. One wonders what he gained, aside
from some publicity of doubtful value, by his
long continued and somewhat spectacular retc-

We are not Democrat and we are not for
Al Smith but we think the women's organizations
of California quite exceed their rights when they
try to keep Governor Nellie Taylor Ross from
campaigning in their state for Smith for presi-
dent If campaigning is too limited, what is to
be free?
It's all right and we are perfectly willing to
read any amount of cheering representations
and crop prophecies in the city dailies-but we'll
feel much more CHEEKY down in the depths of
own soul when the fields begin to
get bright green and know that the 1928 corn
crop is about to sprout.

There are several ways in which Republicans
can probably defeat their own candidates for
the United States senate if they set about it
iously. Probably the best of these is to lament
loudly about the strength of Shipstead. The
sooner that sort of thing is eliminated the
will Minnesota have at least one well-balanced
Republican in the upper chamber.

We see no reason why this country should
be importing $4OOOOOOO worth of flax that we
might we'll be raising at home, and that's
why we are 100 per cent for Congressman Sell
wigs bill to raise the tariff on flax to 80 cents
a bushel.-Morris Tribune.
81 have nothing to say" was the comment
Edward Indrehus of Foley made when told he
was picked as Democratic candidate for United
States Senator. If Edward were right smart
he'd keep himself in that identical condition I'M

Ant Marta of Mort Prairie, through her
clever secretary, Ed johnson, writes Ola Le-

Tariff and Taxes-both agin the farmer
That was the keynote of Ted Christianson's talk
at Sleepy Eye the other night. He believes that
tariff should be placed on several farm pro-
ducts to equalize the protection system for the
farmers. He also explained that the unequal
tax situation arises from the fact that the farm
ers property is apparent and consequently read
lily taxed, while the wealth Of many others is in
such form that it is non-taxable. Both state
ments sound like good sense and thinking them
over may result in some way out of the diff
Guilty.
Stealing cars for joy rides, keeping funds
raised during "tag day" and hiring an apart
ment all of their own is only a few of the things
done by some very modern young ladies of Min
neapolis last week. Perhaps it is not so surpris-
ing that the things were done as it is that the
doors were so young, ranging in age from six
teen to nine years. Once more comes the ques-
tion-how much of this is the fault of the homes
from which these girls come, Of the social state
which permits those homes with their evident
failures, and how much of the blame shall be
attached to the girls themselves. Juvenile court
will try to solve the tangle but in the last anal
yss it reaches beyond the court into the very
center of the social organization.
Listen to this tale of woe and feel your

Years ago he gained quite a reputation
