Forged Documents

1t is now definitely established that the
documents published by the Hearst papers,
designed to prove that the President of Mexico
had plotted with bolsheviks against this coun-
try, were forgeries.
Aside from any comment as to the purpose
or objects Of publishing these documents, the
incident does call to attention the duty of
newspapers to be very careful i'll the vertical
ton of their sources of news. .
Had the documents been genuine, the duty
of the Hearst papers to publish them would
have been plain aid clear. The people are en-
titled to know all the facts concerning their
government tand concerning any incident which
may affect their government.
In the pursuit Of facts which relate to gov
eminent and to officials, there is special duty
placed upon every newspaper.
This State during the past year has had its
attention conferred upon documents of various
kinds and sorts and the people have been very
much interested in the contents Of these docu-
ments.
The Times has had very much TO do with the
production Of some documents and in the pro-
curing Of facts which later were found to be
Of interest to grand juries.
The situation called for unusual caution
and unusual care in the establishment of every
fact.
For Just as the duty of newspapers to dis
cover conspracieS against their welfare and
their government is great so is the duty OF pre-
serving respect for government and con1l-
dence in government against false attack.
In the past year The Times has produced and
published many documents 1t has published
very many news stories relating to government
and to public officials.
1t is matter of some pride that during this
wear the authenticity of no document published
by The Times has been challenged. The rea-
son that they were not challenged was because
The Times went to very unusual lengths to
prove the authenticity of every document be-
fore it was published.
The same rule applied to its articles which
were not based upon documentary evidence
Before those articles were published The
Times was in possession of evidence which 1t
believed would convince, beyond any reason
able doubt. any group of citizens as to the truth
of it's statements.
Forgeries of documents relating to otflclals
are not unusual They are not often easily de-
tected. But their falsity can ordinarily be dis
covered if there is determination to discover
the truth and no desire to publish anything but
the truth. the whole truth and nothing but
the truth.

What Other Editors Think

committed when she was seven
teen unless it was a crime that re-
suited in the injury OF others?
The best indication that the
story is false and merely the yarn
of small town goSsips and busy
bodies. is that nothing has been
done about it for four years and
not even then until the girl was
thought to be in possession Of
money.
Unless these character assassins
can prove their charges. they
should be prosecuted for SANDER
or upon a more serious charge if
one can be found. Nothing that
could be done to them in such
event would be severe enough to
fit the case.

Hen, in three strokes, COW, HOW,
HEW, HEN.
2. You can change only on let
ter at time.
3. You must have a complete
word, of common usage, for each
jump. Slang words and abbre-
viations don't count.
4. The order of letters can not

Revising the Tariff

Those who want to cherish the cheerful view
that the United States had made progress toward
political intelligence during the last century would
do well not to follow the Senate debate on tariff
revision. ...
1t is painfully disillusioning performance. Also
it is something of waste of time because the same
speeches which being delivered in the Senate
today about the tariff be found, somewhat better
phrased, in the records of Congress century ago.
First, there is wholesale eulogy of protection,
such as that delivered by Senator Smoo Then there
follows a blanket condemnation of such speech
address to blanket resolution that there should be
general downward revision of the tariff.
The debate is at once pathetic and revealing
demonstration of the fact that practically economic
problems cannot be solved on the appeal to broad
principles of the kind that make good material for
political speeches.
Virtually all unbiased students Of the tariff will
argue that there should be downward revision on
many commodities.
But just as righteous insistence the entire virtue
of the present protective tariff is absurd so likewise
is the claim that all tariff schedules should be lowered
The problem involved is one which calls for the
most delicate and discriminating economic study if
it is to be inteLigently handled.

How many different species are
recognized in the plant kingdom and
how are they classified?
/ According to Bailey's Cyclopedia
OF Horticulture the number of spe-
cies in the plant kingdom is not
definitely known. 1t has been esti-
mated that more than 10000 spe-
cies OF Spermatophyta and more
than 10000 species of lower plants
are described. According to the
treatment of Engler and Prantl,
these are classified in $40 families
of which 27S are higher plants and
1862 of plants below the Spermato-
phyta. The number of known spe-
cies, however, is being rapidly in
creased as research and exploration
progress, so that the numbers given
are at best only approximate. The
figures are also modified by dis
agreement as to what are species
and what are varieties, some author
tiles recognizing more OF fewer spe-
cies than others in given group or
genus.
How. was the CzechoSIovak Repub-
lie formed?
1t was organized during the World
War and formally proclaimed Oct.
20, 1918. In it are the Czechs who
occupied Bohemia, Moravia and
Southern Silesia which were for
merly under Austrian rule and Slo-
vakia which was part of northern
Hungary, occupying an area of near
ly $4,000 square miles. CzechoSIo-
vakia is bounded by Germany and
Poland on the north and Austria
and Hungary on the south with the
ranges Of Bohemian Forest, the
Erzgebirgo and the Riosenbergo on
the west and northwest, and the
CarpathianS on the northeast.
What quota of immigrants does
the United States aIIOt to the Do
miniOn of Canada?
There is no numerical limitation
on the number of native born Cana
dian immigrants coming to the
United States. Other nationals or
naturalized Canadians emigrating
from Canada are charged against
the quotas of the country where
they were born.

The accusation against Ruth
Elder, the aviatrix, that she was
indiscreet with a young man evan
gelist four years ago when she was
but seventeen, are not even very
important if they we're true, and
at this late date they will find lit
tie credence from any source, ex-
cept from those who take vicious
delight in playing the part of n.y.
enaS.
All these years no effort has
been made to accuse this. young
woman, but now because of her
spectacular ocean flight she has
become national character. and
is said to be making $1,000 a day
by capitalizing her fame. So long
as she was poor nobody seemed to
care anything about her morals
one way or the other, but now that
she is becoming well-to-do, the vii
lage sharks are after her-or her
money.
The depressing thing about a
situation of this kind is that even
though Miss Elder may be as in
noeent as baby, and no proof to
the contrary can be brought, the
damage to her name already has
been done and there is no suitable
recourse on her part against her
enemies.

THANKFULNESS

What shall we be thankful for this
Thanksgiving season? The Pilgrim
fathers rejoiced because of the boun-
teous harvest which had been garn-
cred in-enough to last through the
cold winter months and until the next
harvest time They reverently set
aside a certain day to give thanks for
peace and the grains and dried foods
in their storehOuses.
Today, we should rejoice not only
for the fact that there is great sup
ply of food, but that we do not have
to plan our diets for months ahead.
We may get daily from the markets
of the world such a variety of food
that we can always have appetizing
and well-balanced meals. Fresh
fruits and vegetables may be included
in our diets the year around. There
are various ways of combining and
preparing our variety of foods to
tempt the jaded appetite. Consequent
ly, we should have better health and
greater energy throughout the year
for our work and recreation than did
the Pilgrims because we can have a
balanced meal every day in the year.
That is surely something to be thank
full for.
Here are some suggestions for the
Thanksgiving dinner:
Menu.
Fruit Cocktail
Baked Hominy
Scalloped Oysters
Chopped Salad
Hot Rolls
Munsey Pudding with Hard Sauce

ASKOV
BASEBALL BOYS HELD ANNUAL
MEET


The annual meeting of the Askov
baseball team in the town hall Thurs
day evening was attended by all the
players who are at home at the pres
ent time. Anker Nj. Simonsen was Sc
lected as temporary chairman of the
meeting. The minutes from the last
meeting were read and approved.
The treasurer's annual report was
read and approved, and this revealed
that the team had had net gain dur
ing the seasons activities of S3S.2S;
which added to the balance carried
over from last year makes a nice
showing. An inventory of all supplies
was taken and each player charged
with what he had on hand. 1t was
among other things decided to make
the organization permanent and
known by the name of Askov Base
Ball Club. The election of officers
for 1929 resulted as follows: A. w.
Conway, chairman; Svend Petersen,
ecretary-treasurer; Anker M. Simon
sen. director and representative to
Pine County League meetings. 1t was
aso decided to make several improve
ments on the diamond next year.
The outfield of the baseball dia-
mond was plowed up last week and
the local team plans on doing lot
of work on same in the spring; it is
intended to make it just as smooth
and level as the infield.

the Twin Cities over the weekend.
Miss Agnete Schroeder came up
from Minneapolis Saturday for visit
over Sunday at the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Holger E Petersen.
Miss Edith Gravesen who has been
taking a special course at Grand
View College, Des Moines, Iowa, re-
turned to her home here last Thurs
day.
The Misses Edna Adolphsen, Agnes
Jacobsen, Mrs. Holger E. Petersen,
Herds johnson, and Valborg Miller
helped out with a rush of work at the
American office a few days recently.
Conrad Christensen and Svend
Petersen made a thorough inspection
of the village fire fighting equipment
Tuesday and report that everything
is in first class condition. This is
not stated here as an encouragement
for anyone to start blaze, but as the
fire business has been at a stand
still for several months it is we'll to
check up on the outfit occasionally.
In looking over the supplies on hand
it was found that one ladder is gone.
1t is requested that the party who has
borrowed this will please return it to
the fire house at once.
The tract of land on the southeast
side of the railroad between the two
crossings in the village has now been
entirely cleared of stumps and plowed
UP. The village and railroad COM
pany will jointly make this tract into
a park and it is planned to continue
the work in the spring. The cutting
down of the embankment at the south
crossing together with the work men
toned above has greatly improved the
general appearance on that side of
the track. Here is hoping that the
other side will get a similar treat
ment.
