in a different light when confronted
with concrete example of the inn
perative necessity for stopping drunk
en- driving, which is but one phase
of the liquor problem.
Gov. Frank G. Allen in signing the
bill pointed out that the courts have
held that the right to operate a motor
vehicle is privilege that properly
| may be withdrawn when abused and
when the public safety is jeopardized.
Just as Calvin Coolidge reasoned
when he said There is no right to
strike against the public safety by
anybody, anywhere, any time" so to-
day prohibitionists believe there is
mo right to traffic in or indulge in
intoxicating liquor against the public
safety by anybody, anywhere. any
time" Hence the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
So many drivers have found it pos
sible to circumvent the former mild
penalties that there has grown to be
disregard, if not contempt, for the
law. Hence severe action has really
been forced by these very viOlators
Liquor, down through the centuries,
made the prohibition law necessary,
just as abuses have made this drastic
automobile law imperative.

SMELLS LIKE GRAFT
(St. Cloud Journal PreSs)

Propaganda is being commercializ-
ed. We notice that some of our ex-
changes are falling for it. A clever
man comes to town, advocating some
popular slogan, like safety first, CO.
operation, a better civic spirit, and
the like, which meets general ap-
prevail. He then contracts for adj
vertising space at the regular rates,
uses publicity to create interest, and
then proceeds to sell space in the
regular edition of a newspaper at a
much higher than the regular rate.
That is where he gets his velvet. The
newspaper gets its established rates,
but the merchants and business men
are victims of paying an unnecessary
price. No reform is ever created by
spasmodic effort. 1t takes constant
and every day and week agitation to
get people careful in driving an auto
mobile or crossing street, or to do
their share in city betterment.

CHILDREN AND FIRE

Recently at Grand Rapids, little
four-year-old girl suffered fatal burns
in grass fire near which she and her
companions were playing. She was
so. badly burned when noticed by the
parents, that she died a few hours
later without regaining consciousness.
Another home is made sad from the
loss of little one, Another little
life is sent to a premature grave. 1t
does not pay to be too careless with
children BY this it is not insinu-
ated that this little girls parents
were careless: far be it from our. in
tention. because we do not know the
conditions surrounding the case. but
it is true in so many cases, that some
children are left to practically rear
themselves, so to speak, Parents
should keep a watchful eye on the
little ones and in so trying to the ut
most to make that life worthwhile
the pangs of conscience that accom-
pany a careless disaster will not
lodge, but thankful feeling of hav-
ing done something will find its way
instead

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. Straus)

Substantially one-third of the year
1929 has now passed into history.
What has it meant so far to you in
personal progress?
Are you better off than you were
when the year started? Have you
gained a little in the race of success
or have you fallen a little behind?
Do you know exactly how much
monye you have wasted so far this
year?
No doubt comparatively few persons
could answer this last question and if
the answer could be secured it would
doubtless cause amazement. The
small amounts of waste count up
much more rapidly than we imagine.
Many persons are unable to make
progress in their personal affairs
simply because, unconsciously, they
are paying just little too much for
about everything. Too much for rent,
clothes, and recreation. too much for
little luxuries here and there-these
are the little things that bring fail
ure and ruin
Keep your expenses down to such a
point that progress may be assured.
No matter what you may do otherwise
or how hard you may labor, failure
will be the inevitable result of mis-
administration of your personal finan-
ces
Dickens. through the character of
Micawber, emphasized the truth of
this lesson. Annual income, twenty
pounds, annual expenditure, nineteen
pounds six-result. happiness. An
nual income, twenty pounds, annual
expenditures, twenty pounds six-re-
suit, misery"
The difference between nineteen
pounds six and twenty pounds six is
the difference between success and
failure; between progress and tisaster;
between a fine, useful life and a
ruined one made wretched by debt and
worry.
Watch your personal overhead.
Keep down your fixed charges. Keep
free of the yoke of bills that can't be
paid To do so is to grasp one of the
essentials of personal upbuilding.
These are lessons. to learn as we
put the days and months of this year
behind us.

BOARD HAS TOUGH JOB
(Pine Poker, Pine City,

County commissioners certainly have
tough job. They're damned if they
do, and damned if they don't.
Visit most any meeting of the coun-
ty board. You will find many taxpay-
ers present, some complaining about
the high taxes and asking for rebates,
others wanting more money spent for
road work, graveling, grading, etc.
and in most all cases they are justi-
fled in their requests.
But the county board only has a
certain amount of money to spend
and they must use their own judgment
as to where improvements are needed
the most AT the same time, they
must remember that all sections of
the county are entitled to fair pro-
portion of the improvements.
The board has made plans for the
improvements to be made this year
and appOrtioned the road and bridge
fund to all the various state aid
roads in the county. There is no adj
ditiOnal money for more improve
ments at present. If the county is
to be kept on a cash basis, no new
work can be taken on at present
Give the board chance and don't
ask the impossible. They can't re-
duce taxes and keep the county on a
cash basis and spend more money
than they have for this years work.

MOTHER

The season of the year is at hand
ute to that greatest of all friends
mother" The memory of her every
deed and truest love should be in ev
cry mind and fill every soul on this
one day set aside in each year in her
honor-May u.
The sweetest word in the English
language is mother" The word that
derer is mother" The fondest of
memories can be laid to the former
guidance and training of that friend
of all mankind.
A mothers love is the first that
sounds in ones ears. One cannot
understand while one is small, but
when one grows up and leaves her.
the realization comes forcefully. She
is the first TO praise a child for his
achievements and the last to condemn
him. And whether she rebukes or
praises. it is always in love. A
mothers hands labor hard for her
child, becoming withered long before
he is able to help himself. and love
in return is her only request. A
mothers tears are shed when we know
it not: our selfish. careless ways Of
ten make her heartstrings culver.
How dreadful when we betray that
love in later life. How criminally
negligent for us to ignore her teach
ings and despoil her faith in us. Only
God and mother know what this means
to them.
When one travels the pathway of
youth, everything seems cheerful and
bright When one follows the rain
bow there is no cause for worry.
Only that glittering image on the
horizon seems to matter. Tripping
lightly with head held high and eyes
afar, we blindly stagger on taking the
good and stunning the bad. What do
we need with friends? We have a
home; some one to take care of our
whims and wishes. But, as age ad-
vances upon us and We see that gilt
tering image fading, still in the far
distance, We begin to think. We be-
gin to cast around for friends, whom
we think will make good pals for us
in our advancing age when the happy
carefree life is over.
We invariably turn to mother, if
we are fortunate to still have her on
this earth. We realize the magnitude
of the faith and love she has given
us. We think back over the path of
our youth where we might have been
little more considerable of her feel
ings and where we might have made
the burden of rearing us little more
lighter for her to bear. Those tears
she once shed are pearls in the crown
of our experience. Nothing can we
ever do or say, except we do and act
as she has taught by love and eX-
ample, can ever fully repay for the
tears and heartaches she has suf-
fered. The greatest gift from God tc
mankind is a mother
