The Hutchinson Leader sounds his cheer
full note on the office saxophone:
"Only about another month poll
teal jazz and we can settle down to
enjoyment of life and pursue the
even tenor of our way in the trans
action of business as usual"
One more fake solicitor is broad in the
land, this time among the merchants, pos
ing as a solicitor of memberships in the
National Merchants Association. 1t is to be
hoped all merchants in the locality will be
on the watch for him and "boot him out" if
he should chance to enter upon their do
main.
The Springfield Advance has done a
good stroke of business in expanding it's
editorial page to full page in which Aug
ust Erickson can give his words Of wisdom
and entertainment and that quaint philoso-
ply which is quite all Augusts own. In
spite of the fact that the Stub Pencil Pusher
of the Advance made the Small Town Talker
appear nit-wit last week by reading some
thing we never meant to put there, we like
his stuff-and are glad to know we are going
to get more of it each week. His stub pen
Gil is stout one and is never tipped will,
red.
An Italian racing car got worked up to a
speed of one hundred twenty-five miles and
then went wild. The driver and twenty-one
others were killed outright and many others
injured. That pace was only seven miles an
hour less than the. Porto Rico hurricane
when it broke the instruments in the weather
bureaus observatory. We wonder if sci
ence and progress are served by mans at
tempt to Guido the elements at their fierc-
est We wonder and find no answer to that
wonder except grief that life must be sacri-
feed.
We hear a lot these days about the SUI
perior way in which Canada is handling it's
liquor problems and that the United States
would be wise to follow suit. We believe it
was Governor AL himself who said "Our
neighbors have gone far in the plan for wise
distribution of liquors." The Canadian
papers don't agree with him particularly
Here is what the Montreal Star says on the
topic:
drunkenness among women has
increased So percent Police Com
missioner C. F. Burton of Manitoba
has written that if all the drunk
ards were arrested there would be
no room for them all, in the jails.
Arrests for drunkenness increased
125 percent in the first eight months
of Government control"
The Toronto Star says:
Cali records for inebriates were
broken today when 80 Labor Day
celebrators faced Magistrate Cohen"
And from the liquor boards of the pro-
vinces come similar doleful reports.
"Our greatest problem is MOON
shine in the country districts" is the
wall of the Alberta liquor Board.
AS much liquor is sold by the boot
logger, as is sold in the Government
stores, adds the Saskatchewan liquor
board. And British Columbia joins
in the same astounding chorus.
There botleggers increased one hum
dred eleven percent in the past
year."
It doesn't all have cheerful sound and
somehow or other we don't feel happy over
the possibility of the United States taking
this route-we personally have much greater
confidence in the one on which we are now
well started.

Fred Hadley, one-time Minnesotan and
now resident of California is still as staunch
a Republican as he was when he was cited
as possible candidate for governor Of this
state on that ticket This is how Fred saw
the two candidates when he was in Mime
sofa for visit a few weeks ago, and sat
down at a typewriter in the office Of the
Blue Earth Post.
Personally, this writer is a Re-
publican, and has always been Re-
publican, with the exception of the
time he followed Theodore Roosevelt
off into the Bull Moose forest. And
we make no apology for that.
Roosevelt was our ideal of what I
an American should be. Time has
not changed our opinion of him. This
year, if it interests you at all, we
are certainly going to vote for Her
bert Hoover. The Democratic candi-
date, AL Smith, is undoubtedly
good man. Amy man who receives
