Washington, August 21.-With the
senate in session again the great
game of politics has come to the fore.
Among the uniformed it is some
times considered smart to speak of
politics as if it were horrible thing,
and anyone who touched it at once
became tainted. However, it is suf-
ficient to say that under a party gov
eminent such as ours, a man who
fails to play politics seldom attains a
high political post, and then certainly
dooms himself to complete futility if
he continues to ignore party politics.
No matter what may have been a
mans calling before he arrives, every
man who reaches the highest gift of
the American people, the White
House. becomes politician after he
gets in. A President who refused to
play politics would find himself in a
most peculiar predicament. to say the
least, and even worse than that, from
a personal angle he makes himself a
One-term President. There is no salts
faction in contemplating a one-term
Limitation, because as soon as the in
auguration is over the Presidents
thoughts would be naturally turned to
for the second term.
Any President has the power to re-
nominate himself. provided he gives
attention to certain requisites, party

politics and strong party Organiza-
ton.
From all quarters speculation is
rampant as to when the tariff bill
will be ready for the Presidents sig
nature. Some prophesy that it is
likely that Congress will take a last
minute squirt and complete the bill
so that it can be signed before the
new session begins. In other quar-
ters it is rumOred that the tariff bill
is being deliberately delayed in order
to provide Congress with definite
program with which to begin the new
session, but seasoned observers are
inclined to give little credence to this
theory. They point out that it is the
desire of the administration to have
the tariff out of the way when the
regular session convenes in Decem-
Der, so that the innumerable projects
awaiting the attention of the Congress
may be considered.
Great interest is being evinced in
Washington regarding the forthcom-
ing Anglo-American cruiser confer
ence, which it is believed will be
held during the early part of Deem
Der. The report that President Hoov-
er and Prime Minister Mcdonald have
determined that statesmen and not
naval experts should take the lead in

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

E. A. Hagstrom of San Francisco,
Cal. native of Denmark, has pur-
chased one of the largest estates on
the island of SHETLAND, viz, "Hov-
dingsgaard." and plans to spend his
summer vacation there every year
hereafter. Mr.. Hagstrom started his
American career some twenty years
ago and is now the owner of more than
300 creameries on the Pacific coast
During the last few years he has
made it regular habit to spend the
summer in his native country, and
now has a place over there he calls
his own. 1t is, as we say in this
country, some place, too!
Capt. Berg Dead.
Olaf Berg, sailing master of the
American yacht, "Kinkajou," owned
by Leonard Cultivate, was drowned
last week at Cowes, England, when
he missed his footing on the gangway
boarding the ship. Capt. Berg was
born in Norway fifty years ago, was a
naturalized American citizen and had
for many years been prominent in
yachting circles in this country. At
one time he was navigation officer
aboard the Belle Elena which won
the Spanish Kings cup in the New
York to Santander race in 1928.

died short time ago, and his will
which was probated last week shows
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1929-08-22

that he had set aside the sum of
$4,000 to be used as a fund for the
benefit of the nurses at California
hospital in Los Angeles. Mr.. Hedberg
who was rs years old, was born in
Sweden, and during the last few years
of his life spent much time at the
California hospital as the result of
an accident he had suffered as a
mining engineer, and which cost him
the use of one of his eyes. He was
very favorably impressed with the
work of the hospital, and to show his
appreciation he made the bequest
above mentioned in his will.
Settlement Celebrates.
Fhe Swedish Westmanland settle
ment in the state of Maine last Satur-

ment, which adjoins the more famous
