UNWARRANTED KILLING

The killing of Henry Wirkkula near
the Canadian border Saturday night
by Emmett j. White, federal border
patrolman, has stirred up great indig-
nation, and rightly so. for such events
have been altogether too frequent.
Accidents can happen and it is of
course necessary fer border patrolmen
to carry guns for they have to deal
with desparadoes at times, but the
way the automobile of Wirkkula, who
was riding with his family, was
riddled with bullets demonstrates that
the patrolman surelN-did not know his
business and should pay the penalty.
If the driver did not stop at command
he of course violated the law but that
offense was not great enough to war
rant capital punishment and even so
it was not up to the patrolman to adj
minister the death penalty. Shoot
ing of law violators by patrolmen
should be done only in self-defense or
to prevent commission of felony is
the order given from higher officials.
Shooting at tires to hault the car is a
different thing. A thorough investi-
cation of the affair is taking place.
Life is too sacred to permit of such
pranks.

UNPRECEDENTED RECORDS
ARE MADE

In the sky and on the ground; fly
ing, land or water vehicle racing,
swimming or running, those who
establish new records bask in short
lived glory. New speed records are
being established both on and above
the universe. Endurance records in
the air as well as altitude marks are
being broken and in fact the days and
nights of the present age are full of
progressive and competitive activity
Go back over the recent happenings
and witness the feat just two short
years ago that Lindbergh accomplish
ed when he crossed the Atlantic to be
the first to ever achieve such feat,
but since, several have duplicated it.
although not in the daring and SEEM

was master. Compare this feat in the

THE CANISTER, AS A CHILD

1t has been said that the gangster
possesses a mind of the same caliber
as that of 13-year-old child and the
tantrums they are capable of at times
certainly makes this evident What
with the crazy stunts that are pulled
off by this low-bfow of the human
race which net him next to nothing
except the pleasure of shedding the
blood of some peaceful citizen, he is
indeed en- embryo, speaking from the
gray matter standpoint. The man who
has done all the research work in
this wild species of the human race
goes on to say that the gangster at
that, rates little above the holdup
man in mentality and little below
the pickpocket.
The foregoing, if authentic, is prob
ably the reason that punishment does
not curb crime and that the public is
continually tormented and prosecuted
by crime. The lack of reasoning is
probably doing its bit i'm this respect
1t appears also that if there is
a grain of reason in this psychopathic
analysis, it behOoves each state to in
vestigate and make preparations to
take ample care of the subnormal
child. A preventative is much cheap
er than the cure. 1t has always been
maintained by some that the average
crook is subnormal in education and
that his preying on his fellowmen is
due to his desire to get something for
nothing and in some cases for the love
of excitement.
If one takes the average wanted"
picture in the postoffice galleries he
generally finds that the object of
search resembles one who is low in
mentality. OF course there are cases
where this is not true, but in many,
many cases it is true.
1t is at best a mean and difficult
job, but if the larger cities would
clean up and would keep the pulses
of their authority beating in the dark
places, much could be done toward
the prevention of crime

Under date of June Z, Frederick E.
Murphy, publisher of the Tribune
replied to the American as follows:
1--WE are very sorry indeed that your
letter reached US too late to include
your signature on the telegram to
Congress. We held the list open until
the last moment, but we felt it neces-
sary to file the telegram at 600 p. M,
June Bird. Your letter arrived the
following day.
"In the event this appeal does not
secure the desired results, we may be
forced to send another telegram, and
if we do, we shall be glad to have you
join in signing it.
you will be pleased to learn that
rutabagas have been included in the
tariff schedule with turnips, on which
it is proposed to increase the duty
from 12c cwt to Csc cwt This should
be mighty good news to the Askov
community"

TARIFF SCHEDULE ON
RUTABAGAS PLACED
AT Is CENTS PER CWT.

The Minneapolis Tribune is the
daily newspaper in the Northwest that
has taken a leading part in letting
Congress know that the Northwest
is not satisfied with the Hawley tariff
bill as passed by the lower house. In
this connection the editor of the Amer
lean wrote the Tribune commencing
them on their good work in arOusing
public sentiment to their interests,
under date of May 81, as follows:
After reading your good news re-
port on the passage of the tariff bill
by the lower house of the Congress.
your excellent editorial in which you
bring out that under provisions of
that bill agriculture will not get what
the campaign and that campaign
promises are not being fulfilled, also
the article by your Washington corre-
spondent, George F. Author, all con-
tanned in your issue of May Goth, and
having made more or less of study
of this proposition right along as one
who is interested in the furtherance
of agriculture, as l believe all bust
ness men in the Northwest especially
should be, l have decided to ask you
to add my name to the list signing
the telegram you are to send to Hon.
Reed SmoOt, Washington, d. c. You
are doing good work in arousing the
public to the situation and bringing
it SO clearly before them. Getting
more for what the farmer produces
and sells is not going to help if he
has to pay the penalty by paying more
for what he buys. There is a good
example in hides, leather and shoes.
"Inasmuch as Pine county raises
about one-third of all the rutabagas
raised annually in the United States
and over One-half of that amount, or
about one-fifth of the entire nations
crop is raised right here in the Askov
cOmmunity-400 carloads being ship
ped from here last fall, we are ma
turally interested in knowing what
was done to the rutabagas in the
tariff line. They were not listed in
your table. Would like to have this
information if you have it and will
kindly send it.
Yours truly,
Hjalmar Petersen, Editor"

WEALTH IS AGAIN SENTENCED

Harry Sinclair, who is a real rep
resentative of wealth and who is now
serving a three months sentence for
refusing to answer questions asked
him by the senate committee, has re-
ceived another sentence to begin when
the time required for his present sem
tence is up. The later sentence was
given him after an investigation had
disclosed the fact that he had caused
the jury in his famous oil case to be
Swallowed and thus caused mistrial
This sentence makes a total of 9
months imposed upon the millionaire
and with the good behavior time fig
ured off. the prisoner who is now
working behind the bars in the dis
trict Jail pharmacy. will be required
to serve at least seven months and
a half from the time of his commit
ment on May 6. an
This is one case where wealth has
worked against its pOssessor, for if
Sinclair had not been wealthy, he
could not have secured the service of
the highpriced attorney who advised
him to ignore the questions which
brought on the three months SEN
tence and if he had not been wealthy
he could not have hired the jury
Swallowed. which also requires con-
siderable funds. This is one place
at least where wealth has worked
hardship on human being and has
not attracted the respect of the court
to lean toward leniency.
Popular public opinion has been
served in the Sinclair case

player from Askov has been selected
for the team-Anker Simonsen-who

base runner and also a fast third

hitters, will also be there
Benton HarbOr, Mich, is the home
of the House of David, and they have
an excellent white team that has
toured the country for several years,
long whiskers and all. A colony is
now being established for colored
folks near Havana, Cuba, and the
colored team is out gathering funds
for this undertaking. The admission
to the grounds at Hinckley Friday is
