NOT BEGGING

Editor Rudolph Lee of the Long
Prairie Leader writes so much about
the sane" attitude of The Minneapo-
He has been the Washington CORES
pendent of The Journal while this
matter is pending and we are wonder
ing if that is the reason that what
the Journal says is so sane" Edi-
tor Lee is so much concerned about
getting a market for Minnesota but
ter, fearing that if there might arise
too much friction between the East
and the Northwest through the tariff
settlement, the East might take to
using more butter substitutes. He
writes:
"Our butter customers have been
made to believe that we out in Mime
sofa want everything for ourselves and
are against anything for the other
fellow. This is poor soil in which
to plant the seed for sympathetic
appeal More likely we will get a
loud and derisive horse laugh when
the appeal is made"
The "horse laugh" came in when
Grundy commented on the statement
published by The Journal and much
of the me-to press and said that 1--WE
are getting closer together"
Editor Lee is so afraid that the
high industrial tariff might be tam
pered with and lowered. If the Ia
borers got most of the benefit of the
high industrial tariff from that part
of the country which makes a good
market for farm products-then it
would seem that there should have
been very little butter substitutes
used since 1922 when the Fordney-
McCumber act went into effect and
gave big protection to industry.
The Northwest is not looking for
sympathy but just square deal. Let
us not imagine we have to go begging

Many men are like that.
Most of us wish we were million

But we also wish for freedom from
excessive responsibility. We seek
leisure and composure. We dread the
thought that we may have to ask our
bankers for mercy. We don't want
to spend our nights on trains and our
days in strange cities.
In short, we want the million but
we don't want to make the sacrifices
that the accumulation of a fortune
demands.
So we don't get the million.
But we do get something out of life,
which, if we are honest, we will con-
fess is worth more than any amount
of money.

BENEFIT THE MANY

Andrew MELONS great remedy
seems to be reduce the income tax.
The proposed cut of $16O,OOO,OOO
which effects only those who have
big incomes, at any rate no citizens
in Pine county that we know of, would
we believe, be of much more benefit
to the country if it were collected and
spent on public works. 1t would make
for added industry and put many to
work. True the rich can spend it too
and put folks to work, but on public
road building, public buildings, river
improvements, and the like it will
benefit many more.

Hawley tariff bill. He seems to doubt
what MinnesOtas two U. S. Senators
say about the farmers losing more
than they would gain under prOvi-
siOns of the Hawley tariff bill. He
also talks about supporting the ad-
ministration and the party that got
the biggest vote last fall, bringing
up the matter of Democrats and Re-
publicans-party politics Bless your
heart, Brother Colby. this is not a
party matter. The Northwest and
agriculture just wants square deal
agriculture on a parity with indus
try. This is an economic question
and little do we suppose that the
farmer cares through what party the
parity is brought about. Got it? The
Northwest to us is more than a mere
political party. No use of thinking
that just because a certain party has
been elected to power that everything
is serene, all we need do is smile and
be happy and all will be fine. We
don't want a bunch of men in Con-
gress who are just there to register
a vote when the boss calls for it
socalled wooden men. And thank
goodness that We have some real
leaders from the Northwest who do
more than boiler AYE" And it is
also all right that our representatives
and senators hear from home once in
a while. This is a democracy that
we are living in and it will be no
better than we want it and make it.

IN A HURRY TO PUT 1T OVER

The stencil was so great that the
United States Senate refused to seat
Senator Elect Ware of Pennsylvania,
the political boss of that state who
spent huge sums of money to be elect
ed and conducted a campaign that
could net be approved by right thinking
men and women. Governor Fischer of
Pennsylvania, then appointed Joseph
r. Grundy as senator. No man in
America has worked harder for the
interests of industry and at the same
time against the interests of agricul-
ture than has Mr.. Grundy who has
raised money by the millions to elect
men who will carry out his policies.
This is the man who refers to the
Northwestern states as backward
states and whose representatives
should talk in whispers. He says the
Northwestern states have no chips in
to have equal representation in the
senate with enlightened states like
Pennsylvania
Mr.. Grundy approves the attitude
of that metropolitan daily newspaper,
The Minneapolis Journal, and the 200
or more editors of weekly newspapers
in Minnesota and the Dakotas who ask
to have the tariff bill hurried through
and to leave the industrial rates high.
Agriculture has suffered under the
high industrial tariff rates of the
F'ordney-McCumber act of 1922 and
the East fears that the Northwest
would like to have some of those rates
cut, so no wonder they are in
hurry to have the tariff bill passed.
Commenting on the stand of the news
papers Mr.. Grundy says, I'VE are get
ting very close together" His APP
proval stamps the act as being very
favorable to the Industrial East.
Who are the true and tried friends
of agriculture?
Are they Senator Grundy Of Penn
sylvania, Senator Bingham of Con-
necticutt, The Minneapolis Journal,
and the 200 country editors following
it's lead?
We accept those whose public rec
ord and actions speak for themselves
our own Honorable U. S. Senator
Shipstead from Minnesota; the Honor
able Senator Norris from Nebraska,
that brave fighter, devoted champion
of human rights, and effective foe of
special privilege in all it's forms;
Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, a
worthy son of an illustrious father;
every congressman from the Mime
sofa agricultural area with one ex-
ception; The Minneapolis Tribune
which is putting up great fight for
the benefit of agriculture. This lat
ter group have been true and tried
friends of agriculture for many years.
While we are not surprised at the
attitude of the Minneapolis Journal
for it is consistent-yet we are sur
prised of some of the smaller weekly
newspapers following the leadership
of Senator Grundy and the Journal on
a matter of so great Importance to
agriculture.

CRIME

The three bank robbers at Shake
pee the other day did not get far and
that was WE'LL A little lead into the
bodies of that type of men-the kind
who have set out to make a living
without working rOughnecks and des-
peradoes, is something that will do
them good and will be remembered.
Lead from gun seems also to be
about all that will stop them. On top
of it those who live after the effects of
the lead should serve plenty long
enough so they will do no more harm.
Yes, the desperadoes must be treated
as such. their bringing up was sadly
neglected in their childhood days and
they do not listen to pleadings now,
they are fully developed physically
and think they are men and therefore
when they disobey law and order must
take the consequences. But there is
another type Of crime that commands
serious consideration and thought by
the best of men, and that is thievery
by men who are hungry and cannot
get work. A married man with small
children cannot stand to see the lit
tie tots starve and when he cannot
possibly find work he sets out to get
something to eat one way or another.
There is a problem that commands
attention, and it is no credit to our
government that folks who are will
ling to work should go hungry in a
land of plenty.

at seems to be true. The blood
of Ella May Virgins is as futile as
her life.
Yesterday CASTOR county washed
it's hands of her blood as easily and
as indifferently as a mob of its CHI

month ago.
ELLA May is rotting in a cheap
coffin in neglected graveyard. Her
five children are in an orphanage,
where they will be taught to love their
state, to obey it's laws, to honor justice

rich, the weary cotton mill hand as
we'll as the mighty mill baron.

upon them, to revere the county and
