Paul, Saturday, when his over-taXed
body could withstand the ravages OF

Archbishop Bowling leaves vacant
chair in the church's councils that
will be difficult to fill. He had been
in st. Paul since 1919 when he took
up the work vacated by Archbishop
John Ireland His work in COM
munity way will be missed having had
and taken a keen interest in many
things not related to his church.
among them the Red Cross. He was
also leader in st. Paul's recent COM

Not only the Catholic church will
be the loser but Minnesota has lost

fortunate in being near the largest

THAT TARIFF FIASCO

The Hawley-Smoot tariff law. the
worst tariff law ever passed in Ameri-
can history, is legislation that is
functioning to the disadvantage of the
great northwest agricultural area and
is a contributing factor to our unem-
ployment situation by the falling Of
of foreign trade. Many OF our lead
ing economists contend that it will
even work to the disadvantage of the
selfish privilege interests who were
able by a process of log rolling in
congress to put over this legislation
We predict that the law will be

it, and we are proud of the fight thai

MOTHER JONES

Mother Jones, known as the fiery
tongued crusader for the laboring
class, died late in the night of Nov.
80 at her home in Maryland at the
age of 100 years. Mother Jones had
been ill during the past year with
complications caused by old age, hav-
ing reached the century mark on
May 1.
She was born the daughter of Rich
ard Harris, an Irish agitator, in Cork,
ireland and came to America with
her parents, settling at Toronto, Can
ada, later coming to the United States.
Mother Jones lived tumultuous
life, taking up the professions OF
teaching and dressmaking soon after
she had finished her common school.
She lost her young husband and four
children in 1867 when the Yellow
fever epidemic ragged through the
country. Again trouble overlook her
soon after when she was dressmaking
in Chicago at which time the great
Chicago fire made ashes of the silks
and ribbons which she was fashion
ing for Chicago's wealthy women.
The sight of hungry, jobless men
during the winter tramping along the
frozen lake front sent Mary Jones
headlong into the labor movement.
From then on she worked for better
| ment of conditions for laboring peo-
pie to whom she became known as
Mother Jones. She was Jail threat
ened, deported from states and went
through all manner of hardships fol-
that which she believed to be right
and was active in the defense of the
Meyer, Haywood, and Pettibone labor
cases in 1906.
| Her character was such that John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., whose interests
she once fought, sent her congratula
tions on her Tooth birthday. Labor
organizations all over the country
were sorrowful when the news of hel
death was announced and will mis-:
her influence tremendously.

PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION

Congress is again in session and
American workers and farmers are
hoping that something constructive
will be accomplished to aid in the
unemployment problem which accord
ing to John A. Simpson, president of
the National Farmers Union, which
recently met in st. Paul, is the cause
of the farmers plight. Labor is the
farmers best customer and labor's
buying power has been greatly 'di-
minished through less employment. 1t
is very vital to the American farmer
that his best customer-the greatest
consumer of farm products-is en-
ployed and earning money.
The Askov American in previous ed
itorials has commented on the three
bills presented by Senator Wagner OF
New York on unemployment. They
passed the senate by good majority.
but the autocratic three-men rules
committee in the lower house of con-
gress were able to keep this beneficial
legislation from coming to vote.
Therefore, nothing was accomplished
anu We are idSlhS ihiS tSt INV oh
employment situation again. The au-
tocratic three-men control in behalf
of the industrial east should be fought
by every congressman from the North
west.
Other legislation that this group
was able to smother was the Norris
lameduck bill and the bill for govern
ment operation of Muscle Shoals
Such legislation should be passed a
this session or u special session
should be put over to see that thu
American people get the benefit o
remedial bills fought for by the pro
gressives for the best interests of thu

the spiritual food he hands out often
is so badly diluted that the average
person in the pew doesn't get enough
to save him from famine. Such
preacher is not likely to seem much
like shepherd to the people who
hear him, nor much like a person
who speaks with the authority that
commands belief.
Other things being anywhere nearly
equal, it is the clergyman who has
convictions and is so busy voiclng
them that he can find little or no
time for the flowers of oratory, and
has no occasion to joke, or recite a
string of anecdotes, who establishes
leadership and commands real fol-
lowing for his religion. There are
such ministers in all denominations.
But the Adventist council does not
speak because it's church is less for
tunate than other churches in this
respect, when it decries the enervat-
ing result of the prevalence of vapidity
in the pulpit

CHRISTMAS SEALS
BASIS OF MUCH GOOD
HERE THIS YEAR

Health work among school children
of Pine county was an outstanding
feature of the local program financed
by Christmas Seals in 1880, according
to report of the years work just
made public. Mantoux tuberculln
tests were given the children of the
Pine City schools in April to detect
the presence of any tuberculous in
lection, and school scale and other
health material was sent to the
Hinckley school to make possible
check-up on the weight of the pupils.
AS a part of the effort to spread
proper information on public health
practice and conditions, two represen-
tatives of the Minnesota Public Health
association addressed the meeting OF
the county teachers in Pine City dur
ing October.
Special emphasis was placed on
health education of the school child
rem. Packets of material including
striking posters illustrating proper
health habits and valuable leaflets on
various subjects were sent to each
teacher to assist her in interesting
and instructing her pupils on matters
of health. "Everybody's Health" pub
LEGATION of the Minnesota Public
Health association, was sent monthly
to each school.
Health essentials supplied the
schools of Pine county included health

Tennessee, was the author of meas
ure to turn the Muscle-Shoals pro-
ject over to the power trust. In his
primary campaign Mr.. Reece was at
tackled for his proposal to lease the
government project to the power
crowd and President Hoover came out
in open defense of Mr.. Reece. Reece
survived the primary but was defeat
ed by an Independent Republican at
the general election. Perhaps this
experience will serve to enlighten
President Hoover a bit in reference
to the Muscle-Shoals matter.
At any rate it seems practically GER
