ping.

COWLINC TALKS TO
GRADUATING CLASS
Presentation of Diplomas Made
by A. C. Burmeister to Class
of 1929 Friday

The problem of living together
will be satisfactorily solved when peo-
pie discern the laws of nature and
having learned them, live according
ly, DR.. Donald G. Cowling, president
of Carleton College, Northfield told
those gathered at the forty-fourth
annaul commencement exercises of
the Redwood Falls High School,
held at the Lincoln School audi
torium last Friday night. The speak
er of the evening was introduc-
ed by Superintendent j. H. Wich-
man and used as his subject, Living
Together"
"The problem of living together
today has reached immense proper
tions," said DR.. Cowling, "there are
about one billion, eight hundred mil
lion people on this earth, making this
problem more important than any
other, and we are learning fast"
whatever makes for better living
together is right and whatever has
the opposite effect is wrong" DR..
Cowling continued. Nowadays par
ents and children understand each
other more than they did decade
ago. At that time the parents did
not live in the same world as the
children. This error has been over
come somewhat in the past years to
the decided advantage of making
living together much easier"
Whatever criticism may be brought
against the present situation, some-
times wonder if the cause isn't from
laxity of the parents. There has
been some criticism, but as a whole
it is much easier to live together
today than years ago."
Recognition and observance of
the natural laws leads to a philoso-
ply of life according to which self
consciousness of the individual is at
the core of mechanistic universe,
with the relationship of the person
to others so directed that the well
fare Of men and women is the sum-
mon, and that service, and not ex-
ploitation, is the key to mans rela-
ton to his fellowmen," the speaker
continued.
In closing DIR. Cowling saido There
are three simple teachings of Jesus
that found basis upon which we can
learn to live together more easily.
They are Love, Sacrifice and Service"
With the graduation of thirteen
Teacher Training students, a total of
fifty-four students have completed
the Redwood Falls High School course
for 1929.
Marching to strains of Mendels-
sohn's "War March of the Priests"
played by Miss Arlys Denzel, the
class of 1929 was escorted to the
stage by the president of the Class
of 1880. Preceding the Commence
ment address by DR.. Cowliry, Lenora
Hawes gave the Salutatory address,
''The Best is Yet to Be" while i'm
mediately following the Commence
ment talk, Murial Hawes gave the
Valedictory address, Makers of the

An Amazing Document


IL there no limit to the insolence of the power
trst2 First there we're official revelations Of at
tennpts by power companies to propaganda public
schools buy newspapers either directly or indirectly
and browbeat congress.
Now a memorandum has been made public in
Washington. which if authentic, shows power COM
nanv official advising his associates generally that the
arm of the government charged with protecting the
government and the people in dealing with the power
companies must be crippled
The federal power commission, in granting power
rights on our rivers to private companies has been
acting under law which provides that the govern
ent may recapre the power sites at the end OF fifty
wears by paying the companies the actual cost OF de-
velopment.
Thus the government must keep check on eX-
penditures Of the companies Such check was IN
possible because congress so starved the commission
that it was unable to recruit competent accounting
force In the last year or So however. money mas
been granted and such force has been organized
under william V. King an able accountant and
executive.
King apparently forces the power companies 70
report under system of accounting which they 90
not like 1t would require them to set aside retire
rnent funds out of earnings, thereby essenng paper
profits lowering inflated stock values, and hamper
ing manipulation Also King requires the manage
rnent" concerns which large numbers OF smaller
companies to tell just what they do for the charges
they make
Both these requirements of course, in the pub
lie interest There is still another phase of this gov
ernnnental activity 1t would if carried out faith
fully prevent watering the rate-base upon which the
companies charge the public.
So this power company memorandum suggests that
they bring pressure the commission to adopt their
own accounting standards, which are not so en-
barrassngly rigid; and that the accounting check
be scattered among the war, interior and agriculture
departments.
1T is believed these departments will not have
men specially trained for this work., the memorandum
saws cat least they will be removed from the direct
supervision of Mr.. King"
An even more astounding suggestion follows:
That the secretary-c commissioner may be per-
suaded to appoint his successor some engineer who
may quite naturally be sympathetic toward the de-
velopment of the accounting force and its activity as
previously outlined"
The federal trade commission congress should
investigate this amazing document thoroughly.

Children Die by Thousands

If a dozen small children were to be killed at once
in some automobile accident, cry of horror would
90 UP from all parts of the country, and every law
enforcement agency in the neighborhood would begin
to investigate the why and how of it, to punish any
negligence that might be discovered and to make sure
that such tragedy would not happen again.
In other words, when tragedy is brought to sharp,
dramatic focus we notice it and do something about
it, But when it is spread out we fail to notice it.
Thus while the death of twelve children in single
accident would stir us profoundly, we do not even
realize that that many youngsters killed every day
of the year by traffic accidents in the United States.
During the last year. nearly 5000 children under Is
years of age were killed in traffic. In addition, chill
oren under that age injured at the rate of more
than 400 day.
And yet the nation accepts the situation placidly.
There isn't much of an outcry about it, We don't
have city and state commissions holding meetings to
see where the blame lies. At the very most we only
caution our youngsters not to play in the streets and
to be careful at crossings
Perhaps if we could see the details of these acct
dents more closely we would be more aroused by
them.
Picture your own lad, for instance. He's playing
with ball 1t rolls out into the street; and, with
laugh he darts out after it. OF course, being just
kid he doesn't stop to look; he doesn't the auto
that is coming too fast to STOP And that's the end of
him.
Or perhaps he's going to the corner store to get
package of groceries; clutchng his money tightly in
a grubby fist his face serious and proud because he
has been given grown-up job to do. He gets to
corner 1t looks safe, and he starts out. But out of
nowhere comes truck he didn't see-and after one
frightened little scream, it's all over.
Picture that; then stop and consider that it hap
pens on an average more than twelve times every day
of the year in this country that prdes itself being
good to its children Add to it the fact that 400 more
children are hit each day and sent to the hospital
some of them never to walk and play again. And
then ask yourself if it isn't time something very dras
tic done
1t may be that we shall have to spend many mil
lions of dollars to remake all residence districts,
so that traffic can be routed around them. 1t is GER
tain We shall have to spend millions to provide more
play spaces for the kids that they won't have
to play or beside the streets may be that shall
have to put unheard OF restrictions traffic in re-
Dental neighborhoods.
Whatever the solution may be, it is past time that
we found out Here is problem that must be tackled
without any further delay. And the causes must be
removed no matter how much it may cost The lives
of 5000 children year too high price to pay for
the use Of automobiles.
