It has been said that the great men of the
world, like the lights of a city, are not valued
till gone out 1t takes fine sensitveness to
life and to values to be appreciative. If you
know somebody who is doing good work, don't
withhold praise.
The best books bring you the best thoughts

thoughts in the best books depends on your
mental habits. Are your thoughts we'll dressed?

There pretty little row at the meeting
of the Hennepin County Republican Womens
club in Minneapolis last week. And it was all
by and between two MEN. It came about
when W. l. Norton and Albert E. Bates started
in to argue the rights and privileges of The Big
Three 1t was real controversy and the ladies
enjoyed seeing the gentlemen take over their
meeting and use it for Interior purposes.

This months attack on the church in the
Atlantic is by Episcopal bishop. He tells of
two fussy women members of church. One
found the church too cold when she arrived for
divine service and opened a radiator Another
woman was too warm and walked and
closed it. Then the other woman opened it,
and the woman who was too warm closed it. This
kept up until the close Of the service when it de-
veloped that no fire had been built in the furnace
that morning.-Howe's Monthly.

Murphy told three thousand people at Win
DOM" says the Window Reporter, "that he had
worked five years for the McNary Haugen bill
with the equalization fee, and he was going to
stick to it to the end-no compromise. He pin
ned his star to the Smith kite and Smith
has cut the strings, denouncing the equalization
fee, and Murphy is left high and dry-not "high
and wet" for the moisture is still in the demo-
cratic program. Fact is, the writer believes as
we have said in this column before, had it not
been for such irreconcilables as Murphy, we
could have had farm relief bill two years ago.
For there is little difference in what Smith and
Hoover both offer now and what Coolidge offer
ed to the agricultural committee while in the
Black Hills year ago, that turned down by
the Murphy crowd"
The Duluth Herald does not agree with
Governor Alfred E. Smith that the republican
administration is responsible for the failure to
relieve farm distress. Says the Herald:
Governor Smith usually is fair and
perhaps he does not mean to be unfair
here, but he is.
The reason why agricultural relief has
failed is very plain
1t is because the professed friends of
the farmer settling upon the McNary-
Haugen bill with its equalization fee to
meet the cost OF nanOl1ng crop surplus
es, have stubbornly insisted that it must
be that nothing.
This automatically barred any other
remedy, and of course the result has
been that no concrete relief measure
has passed.
Since Governor Smith himself has
condemned the equalization fee, his ar
raignment of the republican administra-
ton for not having provided farm relief
is neither sound nor just.
Five people died as a result of a bus acct
dent near Red Wing. After careful and SOL
emn elaboration a coroner's jury found YER
dict well known to Americans-"nobody to
blame" However there are circumstances that
lead one to believe the jury was hasty. The place
where the accident occurred is not on a curve
in the road as many think but upon bend with
good visibility in both directions. The bus was
said to have been travelling at 40 miles an hour
and though moving faster than the Minnesota
law considers safe, should easily have been
under the drivers control upon an open road. 1t
should not have been necessary for an alert
