SHARKEY SAYS

(UP-Glory, not money, is the big

From the first sharkey has
stressed the fact that the match
must be for the heavyweight title,
and to help insure this stipulation
the Bostonian accepted a cut from

The official contracts were

EXIT INTOLERANT TOM
(MinneapOliS JOurnaD

Alabamans did much to enhance
the reputation of their state last Tues
day, when they turned Tom Helm
out of the United States Senate. De-
MED the privilege of running for re-
nomination in the Democratic prl-
mary last summer, Helm took his case
to the November polls as an indepen-
dent Democrat and was showed under.
Technically Heflins offense was
boiling his party's national ticket in
1928. Actually, his offense, against
not only Alabama but the whole
United States has been his unceas-
ing effort to inject the religious is
sue into politics. For years now bigotry
has been his political stock in trade.
He has used the lever of Senatorial
privilege to slide into the Congress
sional. Record abuse of other mems
creeds. He has thus made available
for free mailing utterly un-American
assaults on the right of each citizen
to worship God in his own way.
In this country we want no union
of church and state-neither Helms
church, nor any other mans church
Given enough Helms in Senate and
House, we would have such a union
in hurry. Alabama performs fol
the American people a welcome SER
vice, when she makes private citi
zen out of intolerant Tom.

WoRLDn WAR

Teutonic Humor
LIEUT.. FRANK e. HAGAN

If YOU are one Of those who think
that the TeutOnic temperament is
stolid and incapable of humor, hear
this tale Of a German general which
tickled the members of the A. z. F.
nightly when the yarn passed around
among them.
Their Austrian allies were often a
great trial to the Germans. For in
stance, the Austrian idea Of war had
for it's background pomp, ceremony,
and exaggerated chivalry, the Ger
mans believed, and such notions be-
longed more to the Middle Ages than
the modern era. Needless to say, the
Austrian idea was quite different
from the efficient, machine-like code Of
the Prussian system.
On one occasion when General
Ludendorff went down to help the Aus
TRANS out of a mess, he was presented
to a gorgeous Austrian field marshal.
The Austrian smiled, saluted, bowed,
and greeted his visitor with the usual
salutation:
'Tch babe die Ehre" Il have tho
hOnOr.)
"Yah!" snapped the German. "Und
Ich babe die Arbeit." (And l have
the work.

A PENALTY FOR LOANING CAR

An excellent and praiseworthy trait
in the character of man is kindness
and benevolence, and in most cases
this trait will reap good onto the one
possessing it, but there are exceptions
to all rules, and the news item APP
pearing in a recent daily paper clear
ly demonstrates the exception to the
rule.
Sometime last year the car belong
ing to DR.. Z. c. Stone of Minot, N. d.,
was being driven in Minneapolis by
George McKinnon, former football
star accompanied by Miss Helen A.
Stone when that car struck and in
jured M. J. Manley.
\ Although DR.. Stone was 700 miles
away at the time of the accident,
through the fact that the car belonged
to him he was ordered to pay $4,000
damages to the injured man.
Since the court ruled thus in this
case, it will be we'll for the owner OF
the car in most cases to accompany
the car or leave it in the garage.

A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT

An automobile tunnel has just been
completed and opened to traffic under
the Detroit river connecting the cities
of Detroit Aand Windsor, Ont, Canada.
The $25,OOO,O0O project which was for
years thought impossible and caused
the originator of the idea to be scoffed
at by engineering experts and others
has become a reality and will mean
much to the two cities as we'll as to
the two countries involved. Fred W..
Martin, the man who originated the
idea and who was the biggest indi-
vidual influence behind its construc-
ton was saved from a lowly life in
a Canadian saloon by the Salvation
Army. He proved his mettle to the
ones saving him and has become
prominent in business life.
To quote the Minneapolis Tribune,
Sometimes the little things in life
become the big things under the in

WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTS
(The Washington Herald),

1t is not difficult for the plain peo-
pie to appraise the results of the cleo
ton.
1t should not be difficult for the
politicians to understand those same
results, if they apply themselves dill
gently to the task. And if the poll
ticians will absorb the LESSON OF
the popular verdict, public life in
America will be tremendously i'm
proved.
First, the public voted wherever
opportunity afforded, IN BEHALF
OF ITS ECONOMIC INTERESTS.
The outcome of the balloting is more
than rebuke to the Republican party.
1t is a rebuke to reaction, in what
ever party and in whatever disguise.
Governor Roosevelt stood for lib
eralism, and the people of New York
knew it, He stood for the people
against the eXactions of selfish pub
lie utility interests, and for reform
of the judiciary of the Empire State
He merited the confidence of the cleo
torate, and he won it.
An interesting development is re-
corded from Kansas. Arthur Capper
whose long and distinguished service
in the Senate has gained for him the
loyalty of Kansans everywhere, is re-
turned to office by an impressive ma
jority. His running mate, Henry j
Allen, whose record has been one oil
evasion and subterfuge, is defeated by
a Democrat. Kansas knows that Cap
per can be relied upon. Kansas fears
that predatory interests count ON AL
len. That explains the outcome there
And it must be realized Allen was the
spokesman for the Administration.
Butler is defeated in Massachu
sets; hard-boiled reaction gets an
other setback. Huey Long, witt
all his faults, appears to have the
confidence of louisiana, and Edward
COstigan wins in Colorado. The labor
vote undoubtedly counted heavily il
| both states. The same thing is tru;
of Neelys victory in West Virginia.
| Those Republicans whose record
reveal that the public can TRUST
them were ccessful-Borah, Couz
ems, Morrow and Norris are outstand
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1930-11-13

ing examples. It is significant that
the LIBERAL Republican candidates
survived, and that the reactionaries
went down to defeat.
In times of depression, the Ameri
can people perhaps perceive their own
interests more clearly than at other
times. Certainly they have, in this
GUS Grundy tariff; at the hob-nobbing
of politicians with utility interests
and other predatory powers; and at
those Republicans who have signally
failed to fulfill the party's pledges.
Mr. Hearst has often said that the
Democratic party can and will sue
coed when it has the courage to be
democratic. This election has over
whelmingly demonstrated the truth
of that observation. But it has also
proved that the Republican party can
win, if it adopts an attitude of liber-
alism and is willing to protect the
interests of the people.
While predominantly the election
returns show that the people are con-
cerned with economic issues, it re-
vealed also that they are becoming
extremely tired of the Prohibition
farce, and of pussy-footing. Those
candidates who announced openly
what they favored, and why, had a
great initial advantage over those who
adopted the traditional subterfuges OF
IL
than a politician.
| AS for the results in this particular
territory, the apparent disruption Of
the Lee machine and the apparent de-
feat of Zihlman will not find many
mourners. Zihlman's connection with
District affairs has been marked TOT
much by evasions and equivocation
and his departure from the scene i;
a matter of few regrets.
