POLICE VERY MUCH AWAKE

The Minneapolis police did a real
good job of eliminating the northwest
of two bad bandits Monday afternoon
when they laid a trap for them as
they were preparing to hold up Pure
Oil messenger and guard in the COM
pany's offices there. Four officers
hidden in the office shot one bandit
to death and captured the other one
just as they commanded the messen-
ger and guard to hold up their hands.
This was very commendable act
on the part of the Minneapolis police
department and will give bad men
something to think about. Words that
the captured bandit used expresses
the folly of this kind of livelihood:
You fellows have got me good, l am
"a years old and this will finish me.
I'd rather be i'm Gill's shoes than my
own at this minute. l gambled once
too often for some easy money. We
thought we had a dead sure thing on
that job, but lady luck turned against
u.s." One man is dead and the other
will i'm all probability spend the rest
of his life behind bars. shut off from
the society which he has so grossly
wronged.

Certainly some chances are to be
taken and some lives lost to improve
and perfect the aerOplane, the same as
chances have been taken and lives
lost in the Improvement and perfec-
ton of other modes of travel. but it
is evident that many unnecessary
chances are taken. For instance a
few days ago a man making a solo
flight had been up 81 hours and es-
tablished a record, and for every hour
in the air thereafter he was to get
500 for his newly acquired bride
He stayed two hours more and then,
all tired out from the hum-drum of
the motor and the long hours, fell in
to a Slumber from which he never
awOke. Without pilot the aero
plane soon landed on the ground with
the result that they picked up the
bones of the fellow who had made
record but did not live to tell it.
Solo flights. we presume means fly
ing without refueling and flying alone,
we know more about violin solos.
The latter can be with accompani-
ment-generally the piano@but the
solo flights are entirely alone we I'M
derstand, so when a man goes to sleep
at the switch he is as is commonly
known 'Out of luck"
The Mile Laos County Times pub
lished little editorial recently which
it occurs to-us is fitting in connection
with some of the flying stunts that
are being made. 1t follows:
THE undue emphasis placed on a
lot of useless stunts in this country
is rather discOuraging to the idea of
young men and women working their
way up in life by the laborious route
| of usefulness to society. The young
man who follows in the steps of our
early pioneers and hews out a future
for himself by hard work is liable
to be ignored or considered as a-dub
by modern society. He begins to
realize that if he wants fame and
fortune he must do some useless but
spectacular thing, such as flying
across an ocean or trying to ride to
the moon on rocket

WELCOME, TEACHERS!

The time of the year is here again
when we have with US the educators
of our children-the finely trained
young ladies and men who will make
their homes within our midst for an
other nine-month period. Pine county
has been very fortunate in the past
in securing an excellent staff of teach
erS and We are sure that the present
year will be no exception. Many OF
the county staff of teachers have re-
turned again to their respective school
positions which they filled last year
and will be in a position TO even bet
ter the record made then.
Pine county parents should whole
heartedly welcome the teachers into
their midst and try TO make their stay
there as pleasant and hOmelike as pos
Sible, for they are the ones who are
playing a large part in guiding the
destinies of the children
This newspaper wishes to voice its
welcome to each and every teacher
within Pine county and hopes that his
or her stay here will be enjoyed to the
fullest extent and will be crowned
with mutual success, both for the
teacher and the child

1T Is HARD TO SEE THEM GO.

Even among the younger of us,
there are many who can. remember
at home on the farm how we longed
for the shrill whistle of the steam
threshing engine, denoting the arrival
OF the threshermen to our farm. And
how we hung around in close proxim-
ity of the kitchen shifting the breezes
that carried the fragrant aroma of a
cooking threshing dinner and hoping
against hope that mother and the 9TH
er cooks would take pity on us to the
extent Of giving us an advanced sam
pie.
Then when the chaff began to fly
and the golden grain commenced to
run out of the hopper, how we danced
in glee and declared that above all
other times of the year, we loved
threshing best.
But, the heart of the child was not
taken into consideration when new in
ventions revolutionized the threshing
industry. "Those times have gone
forever" Then came the tractor pow
cred smaller threshing machine and
with it came the smaller crew and
the old threshing circle vanished al
most completely. And now the com
bine is gaining foothold in some sec
tions, which does away with the bind
er, the reaper, and the thresher.

WATCH THE CHILDREN!

This is the time of the year when
dangerous machinery is being used
more or less extensively on the farm
and it is these machines that attract
the attention of the little tots, who
sometimes evade the mothers watch
full eye and wander into the fields
AS an item on another page of this
issue tells, little girl in Wisconsin
narrowly escaped with her life when
she came in contact with the sickle OF
a corn binder and was bound into q
bundle while her father drove on ig.
norant of the fact
Each fall the sickle takes its toll
of farm children and every precau.
tion should be taken to keep the little
tots from the field where such ma
chimes are used.

The Bluff FaTlacY

General Smedley Butler, speaking disarma-
ment in speech before the Brooklyn Institute of
Arts and Sciences, saiC: "There is no use throwing
away your rifles and ships. We have got to put up
a bluff. 1t would be the same taking the police
off the streets and making treaties with the gunner
if we did not present united front to foreign ma
tons"
We need not pause to comment the hkening
of neighbors to gangsters, but the bluff faacy is
worthy of examination. It is sincerely held by many
The plain fact is that the bluff game simply can
not work and never has worked If it were success
full it only would frighten others into abandoning
their defenses thus resulting in world domination
for the best bluffer-hardly pleasant prospect for
the rest of the nations.
Actually, the buf1ng inevitably scares the other
states into an increase of ornaments, SO they may
also sit in on. the game Having thrown front "
they find it impossible to retire gracefully lest they
lose prestige In any crisis, therefore they become
more concerned with saving their faces than preserv
ing the peace
The bankruptcy of the blufing method was re-
veaed fully in July, 1914. The chief reason why the
murder at Saraeyo led all Europe into the abyss was
the fact that no great power willing to back down
in the interest of peace.

TIME common people of the United States and

In view of this declaration both countries should
now go step farther and serve notice on their
respective jingoes that the matter is also untakaoe
AS an additional effort to avoid irritation be-
tween the two countries, should request Great
Britain to keep at home all of her lecturers who de-
sire to visit shores to impress us with our nfer-
ority and we should keep at home all undermined
incense burners who desire to visit England to pro-
claim such inferiority.
In the wake of this friendly conference between
our President and Great Britains premier we may
now expect the flood gates of ultra pacif1sm to be
lifted in America and public platforms to be mum

plomacy and natonaistic sentiment at home reacted

Macdonald and Hoover, to prevent repetition OF
that earlier failure appear to be working out system
of diplomacy which is half secret and half open.
There has been great deal of official publicity
given the months of naval negotiations in London and
and many official statements the progress made.
But the points of disagreement were left unmentioned
The public had no of the vital issues OF the dis
cussons until the disputes were settled
In this way the two governments have kept the
public informed of their purpose without letting the
public get wrought up the conflicts and sacrifices
inherent in such negotiations.
This method has been successful, as between the
United States and Britain that it now is to be at
tempted with the other naval powers. Having worked
out in semi-secrecy tentative American agree
ment the President and the premier now make it clear
in the formal conference invitations that they intend
to carry on similar sem-secret negotiations with the
other powers before the conference meets.
If the plan succeeds, the result will be an open
conference and an open covenant, arrived at after
long and patient secret negotiations.
This method attempts to take the best features
from both the old secret diplomacy and the open
diplomacy and create realistic diplomacy effective
for peace.
new method will not be perfected in a day. but

With Sound

DUT the mental concept may be
~ neither a word nor a picture.
It can be a less articulate sound.
The Whirr of an airplane propeller
is enough to start long train of
associations in the mind of an
aviator.
These come with a speed and an
illogicality which may not be re-
produced save by the novelist and
the screen playwright.
1t is Freud, as much as the men
with new tangled machines, who
has made the old-style stage
archaic. More and more we want to
know the unconscious motivation
of the characters in stories. This
was marred by the high visibility of
the wires.
Life has knocked down walls. The
theater is not competent to follow.
The stage is dying, but from the
next room comes a lusty squat.
Maybe the sound is not always
pleasing to the ear.
These noises are still incoherent.
The talkies, you see, are in their in
fancy. But it is bouncing child.
I think it may fly high.

Buried

nut though the Carnegie archie
- ologists are restoring the temple,
they are also missing no opportunity
to explore it thoroughly.
E. H. Morris, in charge Of the eX-
cavation of the temple, discovered a
square Sculptured column buried in
the northwest corner Of the pyra-
mid which supports the temple. The
top of this column was seventeen
feet below the floor level of the
temple proper.
This led him to believe that the
Temple of the Warriors stood upon
the site of a still earlier temple.
Shafts were sunk into the pyra-
mid and excavations started. Con-
crete piers we're put in to keep the
pyramid from crumbling as the ex-
cavations progressed.
Before long, the beautifully
painted columns of buried temple
were revealed. The cOlors here were
more brilliant than any Of those
ever before found in Maya ruin.

that the Temple of the Warriors
had been built deliberately upon the

still was in excellent condition.

stitution in Yucatan are under

r THINK the theater is going
Il rapidly over the hill. Here and
there, of course, there will be fugi-
tive performances, just as charadeS
are played, but as an art form the
spoken drama soon will cease to be
important.
The factors whach are combin-
ing to bring about the twilight OF
the gallery gods are not altogether
commercial. Even though the re-
turns from talkies are much greater
than any legitimate play can pro-
duce. the troupers might hang on
even as opera singers have done in
an age of large scale production.
It is the artists themselves who
will begin increasingly to recognize
that this time the machine actually
has done them good turn.
1t seems to me that the pictures,
now that they have found voice
offer a fare more flexible medium
for the transmission of ideas and
emotion than does the old style
drama,

Why Hurry2

TT is not pertinent to ask, where
l. are the Ibsens, Shakespsares and
Shaws of the screen?" They haven't
come yet nor anyone even vague-y
approaching such stature. Give
them time.
In spite of many predictions to
the contrary I doubt whether
Shakespeare would have had much
fun in old Hollywood. That is, dur
ing his working hours. But I DOUBT
very much whether he would have
snooted at the form which the new
style medium presented to him.
Sound still needs improvement.
but there is no apparent barrier to
its perfection and when the process
has been smoothed out see no rea-
son on earth why a playwright
