There are lot of folks who already say
they are not going to vote this fall because they
don't like either Smith or Hoover That may be
good argument-to us it sounds exactly like
admitting to an awful attack of common sulks.
1t may be an excuse, but it is no reason.

1t has been said a trip abroad is very worth
while just to let Americans know what good
country this is to come back to. We know quite
number of people to whom we would like to
suggest such trip. If they decided to stay
er that would be their own hard luck-and Am
erica's gain.
Jimmie Walker tells the moving picture pro-
ducers that if they don't play with Tammany
before the election they must expect to be
crushed" after the election. Sounds almost like
threat. But coming from the mild Jimmie it
can't possibly be. But the statement adds little
lustre to the Democratic campaign.

AL Smiths answer to the question as to what
he will do for farm relief is found in the one
word Commission" The plan lacks originality
and Congress usually sees to it that such plans
lack practicability. At least that has been true
in the past. But it makes good campaign "Lit-
erature" 1t also facilitates the good old art of
passing the buck.
Arthur Brisbane is opposed to the utter cruel
ty and waste of war and he is constantly finding
new arguments against it. In one of his recent
columns he put it this way.
Another big war would mean not
merely 60 per cent income tax, but con-
fiscation of principal on gigantic scale.
Young men would not again consent to
have their bodies sent to war unless the
rich mems dollars also went Wise
business men will oppose war and de-
mand preparation for it.

During the past ten years the women Of
America have invented, perfected and patented
devices for personal use. They have also helped
agriculture to the extent of 221 patents, 223
for manufacturing, POS in structural materials,
345 in transportation, 221 in medical surgical
and dental equipment, the same number in
amusement, 100 in sanitation and safety-these
with few other odds and ends make up total
of more than 5000 all within the past ten years.
The hand that wields hairpn and nail file is
backed up by a mind that knows how to make
things better and easier for itself and the rest
of humanity.
More and more it is becoming evident that
the high school education is not sufficient train
ing for wishing to enter the professions
that it must be supplemented by further academic
study before the serious professional training be-
gins. First the doctors of medicine insisted upon
supplementary work, then the dentists fell into
line and now the lawyers asking for two
years of college work before the student enters
the law school. They argue and quite rightly
that There is not one in hundred of them
| thigh school graduates) who is fit to begin the
study of law or has the mental development and
! information and breadth of cultivation which
qualities him to understand the meaning the in
plications of the law he comes to study it in
the law school," 1t seems like an indictment
against our high schools. But rather it is a
comprehensive view of the immaturity of boys
| and girls in the teens as they complete four
years Of exploratory work to find out what they
want to do and how to get about doing it. The
real foundation of culture and comprehension
cannot be completed in high school-only the
| first layer of stones is laid there.

w. w. Morrow, farmer living near Long
Prairie has some notions on the tariff as it eff
fects the farmer. Writing for his home paper,
the Long Prairie Leader, he said this among
some of the other things that sound like good

Minnesota are fortunate in the tariff
because it protects our market and raises
the price on practically everything we
SELL There is good stiff tariff on
butter, wool, eggs, and al live stock
products. This tariff operates to give
