REDWOOD FALLS, MINNES
If a good work deserves a good wage the
reverse is also true and he who earns good
wage should actually earn it. Many don't!

However convinced you are that conversa-
ton is lost art you change your mind after you
get the "busy" signal for the fifth time on the
same call.
When all the states pass law that calls
for the confiscation of all cars driven by drunk
en- drivers it will no doubt be step in favor of
Observation-Disclosures Gazette.

We heard plenty of election comment in our
own country. What we should have liked to
have heard what the Europeans said about
us while the big fracas was going on.

Governor Smith didn't carry Minnesota in
the last election. Indeed nobody, not even his
most sincere supporters, thought that he would.
But he did poll much the largest vote that any
Democrat poled within the borders of the
state. But even so the Democratic party doesn't
become the second party in the state. Because
of Senator Shipstead's immense vote the Farmer
Labor party gets that coveted place and its can
didates will be placed second on the general ell
ection ballots of 1882.
There came a day when horse-drawn vehi-
cles were withdrawn from the streets where they
were parked and the hitching post was no more
Just surely there is coming the day when auto
mobiles shall not be parked along city and vii
lage streets because they interfere seriously with
the passage of traffic those streets. Big
cities of the east and west already consider
ing the problem of insisting that cars must be
parked away from the congested district entire
Ily, and they are doomed Dobbin shall be re-
venged.
Magnus Johnson was for Smith but this is
how his home community voted; his township
gave Hoover 454 to Smiths 155 and his market
village of Kimball also went for Hoover by a
healthy majority Magnus should learn that
politics like charity begins at homeland have
done less missionary work out over the state and
in other states. j. F. Reed lost his home county
for Smith and Thomas eastman lost Steele coun-
ty. Frank Murphy and Victor Anderson did
manage to swing Traverse county for the Demo-
cratic candidate but they appear to have been
the only farm relief prophets that were honored
in their own county.

girls, even daughters of cabinet members,
must wear long skirts, regulation dresses of
black and caps bearing the number of their class
es and school and submit to inspection for rouge
and lipstick twice each day.. All we have to say
is that the old fathers of Jugoslavia who wrote
that law their statutes are bound to see such
trouble as they never saw in their little country
before. AS if they hadn't done enough to invite
ruin to their dignity they added to the edict a
little clause that no girl shall go alone on the
streets after Z p m. We have nothing but SYM
pathy for the Dads of Jugoslavia.
Once more has Minnesota been put in the
ridiculous column by keeping it's polls open
longer than any other state in the Union. The
long hours work hardship on election officials
and delay counting of votes past all reason. An
nouncement made that the eastern states
had elected Hoover before the final vote was
cast here There seems to be no reason in the
world why the closing hour should remain at
nine o'clock If there is anyone in the state
whose ballot cannot with perfect convenfonee Be
placed in the box by seven p m. he has kspt lin
name carefully concealed Let's hope tn next
Legislature win take up this little mattee u sns
of the very first Of their chorsss Tkr changs
needs making; there 10 nothing for the present

| It il encouraging to the women of the nation
that three more Of their sex won in congressional
contests and will be members of that great body
after next March A. The new victors are Ruth
Hanna Mccormick of Illinois, Ruth Bryan Owen
of Florida and Ruth Pratt of New York. The
total is now seven; the four who were reelected
to the offices Mrs. Katherine Langley of
Kentucky, Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers of Massa-
chusetts, Mrs. Florence P. Kahn of California
and Mrs. Mary T. Norton of New Jersey. Five
of the seven Republicans. Lets sect is
only ten years since jeanette Rankin had the
sole feminine Congressional seat and didn't fill
it any too credtably at that. So women haven't
moved so slowly politically as we are wont to
think. There is every reason to believe that the
three members, each with her disting-
uished personal and family background will do a
real work for her country and convince the world
at large that a woman can be woman and a
statesman Cor at least representative in Con-
