THANKS, SPRINGFIELD!

|
Thanks lot for the manner in which YOU treated
the members of the Redwood Falls Band and others
from Redwood Falls who attended the concert in your
fair city last Thursday night Reports from all who
are mighty favorable not that these reports
shouldn't have been favorable but the courtesies ex-
tended by the orderly crowd, the business men and
citizens of Springfield did much to cement the friend
ship that we have been proud to claim It is hoped
with deepest sincerity that series of band concerts
between Springfield, Redwood Falls and perhaps some
other cities nearby may be arranged for next year.

BUT THE RECORD PROVES
Senator Thomas Schal has started his campaign
for reelection.
In recent issue the Herald advised its readers
to beware lest they fall for his cunning.
His first utterance delivered in the Twin Cities
last Thursday evening but sample of what the
heat OF election may prompt him to say.
According to the Tribune, Mr.. Schall is quoted
as having said that IF Governor Christensen or any,
one else opposed him, their campaign expenses would
be taken of by E. w. Backus" or words to that
effect.
The utterance is boomerang that NAV return
to the Senator with bad results for those of us who
remember the Johnson-Scha investigation of but
few years ago. cannot help but laugh at the Senator's
puere attempt to besmrch the character of his pros
pective opponents and with the same brush endeayor
to wash his record lily white.
during the investigation by the Minnesota Senate
IN which Mr. johnson sought to unseat Senator Scha
+. w. Backus was one of the main witnesses The
transcript of the testimony fills some 1000 typewrt
Ten pages Many OF these pages contain the testimony
OF Mr.. Backus. Mr.. BACKUS TESTIFIED THAT
HE CONTRIBUTED A LARGE AMOUNT OF MON
Ely TO Mr.. SCHALL'S CAMPAIGN AND THAT MR.
SCHALL RECEIVED THE MONEY
This testimony has never been denied by Mr..
Schall.
II Mr. Schall thinks that such misrepresentation
is going to serve him in good stead he is badly mis-
taken. Minnesotans believe in fair play, and honest
utterances-Murray County Herald
THERE'S A REASON
Many country newspaper editors, in their hours
OF honest introspection, wonder at the small influence
eXered by the country in the forming of public
sentiment They can't understand why so little at
tentlon is paid by the public the views of the coun
try press university recognized as being free from
"unholy" influences.
An inklirly of the solution might be found in
study OF the reaction of the country press to the re-
cent incident which threw the melight of publicity
upon Mr.. Earle Brown, former sheriff of Hennepn
county and now chief supervisor of Minnesotas new
highway patrol
BY mere chance Mr.. Brown happened upon the
scene OF the recent bank robbery at Elk River and bv
reason OF MS training as sheriff in experimenting GRIM
mas ne was able to the robbers to earth within
a. few hours
Immediately considerable number of the news
papers find in the incident conclusive evidence that
Mr. Brown ought to be elected governor of the state
with an Abandonment to hero WORKSHOP that might be
expected OF silly girl in her teens they quickly con-
Vinced themselves that Mr.. Brown is paragon of
greatness and ought to be Immediately elevated to
the highest executive office in the state
Mr.. Brown is unquestionably splendid citizen He
Is inoeed an outstanding in many of the attri-
putes which portray the finest type of citizen There
is no reason to believe he would not make q GOOD
governor even though he has never shown inclination
to hold an executive office.
But notwithstanding all these things tbero ;s No
more rhyme of reason for booming him for governor
just because ne captured bank robbers than there
was IN booming Lindbergh for president because he
succeeded in flying across the Atlantic
Editors of newspapers no less than other peonle
are judged by the character of their opinions and
when these opinions formed on emotional ;mnulse
instead OF ioglca deduction the result is inevitable

Don't say you were not warned if you happen
to get caught going through "Stop" sign on Mill
or Bridge streets Some of these days there is going
to be action and lots of it, for the motorists who per-
sist in driving through, without stopping first So
don't say that there wasn't any warning.
