representing his city. At that time
he was as gaunt as any other country
editor. Later he got mixed up In
politics and held one of the fat jobs
in the fine state house at st. Paul.
Then it was that the hungry pay

gave way to embonpoint and at pres
ent he is possessed of a beauty. We
like to have him visit us. He always
has a new one to tell and otherwise
he is good company.
In another column will be found ex-
cerpts from the address made at Eve
leth Sunday by Senator Thomas Schal
We do not know whether Senator
SchaIl actually believes what he talked
or whether he made the talk to please
his listeners. His illusions to bureau
cracy in the national government, in
our opinion, were rather far fetched.
So far there has been nothing to indi-
cate a bureaucratic disposition on the
part of President Hoover. If there is
anything like that, it probably is
among the senators or congressman.
The senator also makes the claim
that Governor Christensen is the tool
of Ed. Backus. The majority in the
state are satisfied with Governor
Christensen and in all truth we will
say that if Backus Is responsible for
his being governor, he builded well. We
have found that outside of being
hard headed man in business, Mr..
Backus is quite Ikeable fellow who
has a host of friends throughout the
state. His attempt to grab the north
west for power purpose and his income
tax statement which Senator Schan
rectified by making him pay sundry
dollars, were business ventures rather
questionable. Should the powers that
be decide that BackuS is not entitled
to that part of Minnesota he has not
already got, we believe he is sport
enough to admit his defeat and trans
fer his efforts into other channels.
One thing we will say of Mr.. Backus
in addition. He is hard worker in
anything he undertakes.

family makes his home in Duluth, was
in the city Friday. He is now in the
real estate and insurance business and
is doing as well as can be expected,
he says, considering the competition in
that line. George was one of the best
advertisers and boosters this section
ever knew up to the time financial
adversely overlook him. Now that the
Arrowhead Association is looking for
an executive secretary to replace Fred
Vibert, why not consider George Bro
zich2 George always had the faculty
of helping other people far more than
he ever helped himself. He would be
valuable man.
We would further like to suggest an
other name for the position. This is
Walter j. Smith who likewise became
the victim of his friends. Walter is
hustler who believes in the section en-
braced in the Arrowhead Country and
would be worker with attendant re-
suits. He is probably as well known
as any man in the state and his ac-
quaintance would be valuable help.
The yappers are at it in several
parts of the country and are trying
to stir up trouble by finding fault
with the country and everything in it.
Sometimes we are of the opinion that
we are paying altogether too much at
tention to this class of yappers and
then again we change our opinion and
profess to believe that they should re-
ceive everything we can give them
and that is plenty.
Several of these, graduated from the
Communist Academy of Duluth and
Superior were over in Michigan and
Wisconsin few weeks ago and soap
boxed their anti-America dope to the
few souls who would stop and listen
to them. There was red-headed
lady from Duluth whose speeches were
as fiery as her hair. She condemned
the American Legion, the police de-
partmentS and the mining companies.
Then there was young fellow from
Superior who spoke English badly and
his logic was worse. A man who
heard them states that the thing was
disgusting and made him hot under
the collar. This would be the natural
reaction of an American.
In all sincerity we will suggest, that
Congress instead of spending all their
waking hours in fighting the presi-
dent, his policies and recommended

money in the purchase of one-way
tickets to the beautiful Russia of the
agitator's dreams, and ship the whole
caboodle back to that Utopia. In the
meantime see that they are all on one
boat and give the undersea craft of
the foreign powers permission to in
dulge IL target practice. Just the
same, this same bunch would not get
out of here for anything. This is the
only country on earth where they can
do such things and say such things
and get away with it.
A few years ago the American Le-
gion boys marched up the hill, called
at the headquarters of the red ele-
ment in Duluth, sort of mussed things
up, and then marched down egain.
The soldier boys numbered several
hundred and thousands of people were
on the street watching them clean up
the hornets nest. When the case came
up for hearing there was not man
or woman in Duluth who could re-
member ever having seen a soldier
that day. This showed what people
thought Of the Legion at that time.
The red propaganda on the part of
the two speakers named above is
