FAIR WEATHER
"Be kind to US, Oh Weather Man,
And give US sunshine fair;
Have heart Oh Weather Man,
And hear humble prayer!
Give US bright and sunny days
Till the county fair is DER,
Oh Weather Man, and we'll sing thy praise
AS we've done before"
Scribe of the Wilderness.

Ruddy Lee, head of the state Hoover-for-
President committee has this to say about the
presidential campaign in writing for his paper
the Long Prairie Leader. "For years there have
been published in this country newspapers and
magazines published for other purpose than
to attack the Catholic church. Usually but scant
attention is paid them. They are radical sheets
given to prejudice appeals and the editors are in
most cases extremely of the socialist type. In the
present campaign these papers again flood
ing the mails.
Religious prejudice seems to come and go in
waves like epidemics The flu appears every
fifteen twenty years and the measles seem
to have sort of recurring period. In the inter-
walls little is heard known of either About
every 20 or 25 years there is flare-up of reli-
gious prejudice. The flare burns brightly in
some sections of the country, then dies away and
nothing more is heard until some radical has an
other nightmare.
This year with a Catholic running for the
presidency, the epidemic descends again and
Judging by the papers and magazines sent thru
the mails, the disease is little more virulent
than in off years. However, it is merely dis
ease and next summer these same excitabe folks

The Leader advises that no attention be paid
to this sort of propaganda Least of all should
it be permitted to influence person in poti-
cal campaign This advice is for Catholic
friends also. There is nothing new in this sort
of propoganda-t has been going on spasmodi-
cally for years and years and always by the
same sort of people, radicals of the socialist type
who when they not Jumping onto the Cath
olic church are jumping onto something else
with the misguided vigor
Here in America, the best of at least, are
neighbors and friends We respect the religious
opinions of each other We desire to ntrude
or interfere in way with each others church
affairs. That is the way it has always been
that is the way it is going to be matter
whether we are for Smith or Hoover.
So let's us pay no attention to our radical
folks in this campaign. AS people, we in AM
erica never have and The Leader does not believe
we ever will. This summer are in the midst
of political campaign and so perhaps We hear
little more about it than in other summers
But it is always the class of people who
stir up the prejudice. Let not forget that
We will be helped thereby to dismiss it all just
as it has always been dismissed.
Herb Hotaling tells in the Mapleton Enter
prise something of the accomplishment of the
Big Three, and it sounds pretty blamed good
Figures talk, and we believe that the saw
ing of practically $1.50 for every man, woman
and child in the state of Minnesota in the year
ending June 80, 1928, compared with the
one ending June 80, 1926, is very worthy &C.
complishment on the part of the Big Three. With
a total state appropriation of approximately
S25, 900 less than that when the Big Three tool
office in 1925 balance of So, 662 so had beer
saved by June 80, 1926. In 1927 another So,
7S6,S9S.43 was saved. In 1928 it grew to So
912,434.36, and this in the face of smaller ap
preparation. Furthermore, when the financial at
fairs were taken over by The Big Three severa
departments were in the red. Even create
savings would have been accomplished had thu
legislature not spent million dollars not recon-
mended by the Big Three Many items go int,
this saving. For instance, by combining tn
Dairy and Food and Agriculture department.
$4,000 is saved each year. BY reducing tn,
size of automobile license plates this year nearl!
$4,000 was saved. Auto mileage has beer
standardized at eight cents, saving the state $50,
900 year Gasoline is bought for all depart
ments in large quantities and $4,000 is saved il
this manner. BY revamping telephone servic,
in the old and new capitol $4,000 year is saved
and by buying coal heat unit basis instead
of mine $4,000 year is saved. All dowr
the line, savings like this have been made
until the total Savings for the period ending
June 80, this year, amounted to nearly four mil
lion dollars. We still claim Governor Christian
sons economy plan is big success and that the
Department of Administration and Finance Is q
good investment"
