THE GOOD PIONEERS

The Askov American is pleased
over the opportunity to present to our
readers picture of group Of some
OF the pioneers of southern Pine coun-
ty. The picture which was taken on
the court house grounds on the
Fourth of July is published elsewhere
in this issue. From time to time. we
have had photos of individuals or fam
lilies, but this is the largest group
Of Pine county pioneers we have seen
to date. pioneers of the southern part
of the county who have contributed
much to the upbuilding. and to a very
high degree made it possible for the
younger generation to enjoy many OF
the improvements of today. 1t was
these men who contributed to the
agricultural. social, and public devel-
opment of Pine City. and it was very
fitting that a day should be spent e
help show a sense Of appreciation for
their splendid work.

not in the Twin Cities but by the
State Highway department to helm

state Mr.. Therrien, can you eX-
plain your vote on this proposition
was it for the benefit of Pine county
taxpayers, and if so how?
do not agree with your position or
the Brooks Coleman law which took
away home rule from the cities OF
Minneapolis, ST. Paul, and Duluth, "a
regards the street car systems il
those cities, the companies operating
the street ears having secured theil
| franchises from the respective city
governments and naturally those
cities should have some jurisdiction
over them.
Also. Mr. Therrien, what was youl
attitude on the ShipsteadNewtOn bill
when the Minnesota state Legislature
was asked to memorabilia congress t.
pass this bill? The bill which wa:
later called the Shipstead-NOlan BIZ
when Mr.. Nolan became member
of congress, was relative to the inter
national border waters and had the
support of leading organizations il
i tha American pDiOn
Womens Federated Clubs, conserva
tionists and other groups. The bill
would help to conserve our natura
scenery and from exploitation of thu
Backus and power interests.
Yes, the debate or public discus

The Moose Lake baseball team ex-
tended their territory to ClOquet for

ing goes, took in too much territory
losing to that team by a score of

from beginning to end with Cadreau
and Lampi for Moose Lake holding
the Cloquet batters to hits and NAL
lory for Cloquet allowing ten hits.
Moose Lake led when ClOquet came
to bat in the last of the ninth with
the score of to 6. Two men were
down and the third man had two
strikes after two men had gotten on
bases through an error and walk re-
spectively. The ball which should
have ended the game was struck for
a hit, scoring the two runs to win
the game for ClOquet.

COUNTY LOSES SLIGHTLY

A recent preliminary report OF 1881
census of the state of Minnesota was
published in the daily press which
showed that the increase or popula-
tion in the entire state in the decaue
from 1920 to 1880 was 1.9 per cent.
Thirty-five counties showed "a de-
crease in population while the large
population centers of Minneapolis and
St. Paul especially showed consider
able increase in population. Among
the 80 rural counties that had lost IN
population was that of Pine. The
1920 census was 21,117 while the pre-
liminary report as published in the
daily press showed 1899 for 1880, a
loss of 2,71S in the decade. This now
ever we are glad TO note is not cor
rect. The Askov American has re-
Gently received figures TO revery VII
lage and township in the county which
is published elsewhere in this issue.
The figures have been prepared by
Donald O. Wright of Minneapolis. SUI
perviSor of the census bureau for the
sixth Minnesota district of which Pine
county is a part.
The total population of Pine county
for 1880 as given out by Mr.. Wright
e. is O.25O thus the county shows loss
of but 867 instead of 2,IlS. MT
Wright also informs us that these
are not the official figures They are
subject to correction and addition by
the census bureau at Washington. The
Washington office may have reports
of people who at the time the censu:
was taken were temporarily in Flori
da, California, or other places, ant
who claim Pine county as their resi-
dence. Such names will be added t.
the Pine county records at Washing
ton. 1t will. however, be some time
before the Washington office can make
report of them. and in any even
there will likely be very few name:

tied in the minds of the people
through squabbling in the press; that
these and other matters can be settled
by public discussion creating interest
and understanding of the problems be-
fore the people of Pine county: that
the people are entitled to hear the
candidates themselves without any
interference from INSCRIPTIONS poll

Therefore Mr. Therrien has author
lied me in his behalf to challenge
Mr.. Petersen to a public discussion
of the issues before the people of Pine
county, and requests an early reply.

A POWERFUL MAN

Although a sick man during a large
part of the last session of congress
and in spite of this handicap. Senator
Henrik Shipstead performed great
service for Minnesota and the North
west for which he is receiving a
great many complimentary editorial
comments from the press of the whole
Northwest His leadership and organ
ization ability was well demonstrated
in his success in resurrecting the up
per Mississippi nine-foot channel leg
islation when it was practically lost,
and given up by many. The national
administration opposed same and
there were powerful interests against
il. In spite of this the senator ma
nipulated the important Legislation
through the senate. Ii was finally
also, put over in the house and signed
by the president together with other
rivers and harbors legislation. 1t Is
a fine example of what an aggressive
fighting legislator can do.
In the words of the Minneapolis
Daily Star: But were it not for Sen
ator Shipstead. the nine-foot channel
would not be an avowed government
policy"
What nonsense to point TO this man
as dangerous to legitimate business
interests. He has done more for the
industrial business and agricultural
development of the Northwest through
this one incident than has been ac-
complished by the single act OF any
one man for many years The North

shysters. 1t is just this attitude,
without doubt. that adds to the evils
we can all see in present day politics.
How can policial life be free from
incompetence, dishonesty, and trickery
so long as people who are superior
to such conduct refuse to take a part?
How can we expect our various gov
ernments To function properly unless
the majority of good citizens take an
active part in public affairs?
The answer to these questions like
the consequences of the general error
of public thinking must be obvious.
In this connection it is we'll to ask
a question: Weren't most of the ma
tons immortal figures politicians?

 The newspaper indicated the states attorneys office is seeking the identity Of the newapapermIn, who was referred to by Harry T. Brun- didge, St Louis Star reporter, as a favorite with the gang leader.
 Brundidges dispatches charging unethical if not corrupt relations between gangsters and newspaper men in Chicago caused an invitation to him to appear before the grand Jury, with the provision that he con- suit with States Attorney John Swanson's investigators first. inc Star rejected the preliminary con- ference and there the matter rests.
 Another development was an an- nouncement by the states attorneys office that conference would be held today to decide whether the grand jury will hear Leland H. Reese. Chicago Daily News reporter. as a witness,
 Reese, who was injured in alI au- tomoble crash near Dekalb, III, week ago, has denied that Julius Rosenheim, an investigator who was shot down on the street five months ago. ever had any corrupt dealings with him.
