KEEPING ABREAST OF TIMES

The Fourteenth annual editors
short course was held at the Univer-
sity Farm in ST. Paul Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday of last week and
was attended by many editors
throughout the state of Minnesota
The sessions were instructive, inspi-
rational and filled with programs de-
signed to forward journalism to the
extent that readers will be more
greatly benefited year after year.
Many prominent men, appeared on the
program including the noted French
journalist and political writer, Andre
Geraud (PertinaX) just fresh from
the London disarmament conference,
who gave a lecture on journalism.
The newspaper body as a whole
through it's state editorial association
is constantly endeavoring to make the
position of the reading public better
by better fitting itself toward more
adequately and efficiently presenting
news and a great deal of credit must
be given to the instructors from the
various colleges as we'll as to others
who made the course a success.

INFERIORITY COMPLEX
(Brainerd Journal Press)


The man with sense of inferiOrity,
an inferior complex as the psychology
lists say, can accomplish but little re-
CARELESS of his ability. In all of his
efforts he is logged by a fear of
failure, and feeling that he is not
quite capable of handling the job.
This observation may likewise apply
to communities. Where the citizens
of town have a feeling that their
community is below normal, it is apt
to sink to place close to the esti-
nation of its residents.
A community is made up of human
beings, it responds to the same things
that human beings respond to, is con-
trolled by the same psychological fac
tors as human beings.
1t follows, therefore, that a sense
of self confidence is essential to
achievement. Let's not help to create
a community inferiCrity complex.

Conform With the Opinions
Of the AskOv American.)

Mile Laos County Times: There is
surprising change in the attitude to-
wards unemployment compared to
what it was some years ago. Then
unemployment was considered good
deal like an "act of God" and beyond
control of human beings. 1t was a
situation which the country had to
muddle through the best it could, with
no attempt at relief, by constructive
action. Nowadays unemployment is
being held as serious fault against
our social and economic system, and
the big employers of labor seem to
be feeling a sense of personal respon-
sibility, and some effort is being made
to find solution to the problem.

GETS HIS DUES

There is a day of reckoning, and it
came to Judge John ]. Parker of North
Carolina, when the Senate rejected
his nomination by President Hoover to
the United States Supreme Court last
week The rejection of Judge Park
er's appointment marked the first
Supreme Court appointment to be
turned down since 1894. The vote
was Al to 80, and the principal rea-
sons for his rejection was his past
record in labor disputes and his atti-
tude toward the colored race.
Senator Shipstead condemned the
use of injunctions i'm labor disputes
as multiplying the constitution. In re-
ferring to Parker's labor decisions,
he said, ANY man who lends himself
to such notification of the constitu-
ton disqualifies himself to position
on any court"
Senator Borah of Idaho. in his con-
Guiding remarks for the opposition
said that the attitude of Judge Park
er on public questions rendered him
unfit for the office.

Governor Christensen in his radio
speech Monday night. opening his
campaign for the United States SEN
atOrship on the Republican ticket,
said that he would have voted
for the McNary -Haugen bill if he had
been in congress and that he would
support the debenture if there today.
Wonder how that sets with the rural
weekly newspapers of Minnesota that
signed the Minnesota Plan" which
we hear so little about now, and fol-
lowed the lead of the oreactionary
Minneapolis Journal in trying to get
a tariff bill rushed through. The
governor has always batted we'll with
those weekly newspapers. Soon they
will be without company for surely
they will not tolerate such radical
utterances which the governor now
also is making.

SHOULD BE VETOED

The Askov American has supported
the efforts of the progressives right
along in their work to put over farm
tariff bill but unfortunately the Grun-
dy interests in Washington were too
strong and they have foisted on the
American public q most unjust bill
to agriculture The debenture clause
which might have been of some bene-
fit to the farmers was opposed by the
administration and defeated in the
house. 1t had the support of our two
senators-Shipstead and Schall-also
our congressman, G. G.. Goodwin, in
the house, and we note that Governor
Christianson also endorsed same in
his radio speech Monday night.
Concerning the pending tariff bill
more than 1000 members of the
American Economic Association, COM
prising the leading teachers of eco
Monies in the colleges and universe
ties and economic experts the country
over, persons who have no direct in
terest whatsoever in the tariff sched-
ules, have signed a petition to Presi-
dent Hoover demanding that he veto
the bill. They say. Q) that the bill
would increase prices to domestic con-
sumers; (2) that only a few wage
earners can hope to profit by the
tariff bill: (3) that our export trade
in general would suffer; (G that
American manufacturers as whole
do not need higher tariffs; 90 that
our farmers will i'm no wise benefit
by the legislation; Co that the higher
tariffs will not decrease unemplOy-
ment; (7) that the new bill will ire
mendously increase foreign hostility
to US; and (S) that "a tariff war does
not furnish good soil for the growth
of world peace"
These statements will not be an
swered
The bill will not give parity to
agriculture and it is a general re-
vision of tariff which President HOOv-
err specifically stated he did not want
when he called the special session of
congress 1t should be vetoed and is
a real test for the president. The
bill is an injustice to agriculture.

likely will not take much effect on our
brother editor. He may call it cheap
political prattle" but We venture to
say that these are matters that will
call for the serious consideration of
the American people in the next de-
cade and for that matter for all time
if we desire to stop the ever increas-
ing Capitalization of wealth and pow
er land do not care to be reduced to
serfs ourselves. Not all are after the
accommodating of fortunes and amongst
those will be found many good citi-
zens, and they are entitled to and
worthy of protection against the mon

Garden Talk
Plant Properly.

If you haven't planted anything on
your grounds up to this time, give a
little time to reasoning out a scheme
of planting restful, quiet and dignified
throughout Don't fill up your front
lawn unless you dislike having peo-
pie see your house. A neat border
or hedge along the front property line
is all right. The main idea is to
keep low plants like shrubs out of the
center and use trees to frame the
house. Big trees like elms or naples
are used to soften the sharp lines of
shade from the hot summer sun.
Simplicity is the Keynote of Beauty.
Just as a person must have char
acter and individuality to be inter-
esting, just so must the home grounds
be distinctly characteristic of the
owner. This does not mean that your
place must be freakish and attract
attention by placing gaudy flower
beds along the front of the house,
but it should have some decided ex-
preston or tone. For instance, one
would not expect little old New Eng
land lady to have the same kind of
place that a business man would de-
sire. In developing your own place
do not try to copy other places, but
give yourself leeway and use on your
own property the plants you desire.
A garden may be distinguished by
its gayety of tone. This may be pro-
duced in summer, by having a variety
of snowy flowers, and by means of
brilliant Towering shrubs. This does
not mean that we should violate the
rules of planting by placing Geranium
beds in the middle of the lawn, or
Coleus beds along the base of the
house. In winter the same tone can
be secured by planting evergreens or
by using shrubs with cherry berries
and bright twigs. The character of
the whole place should be light, open,
shaded
The expression of the garden may
be, if required, modest, unassuming,
and simple. 1t need not be wanting
in beauty or refinement.
Your home grounds should never
represent poverty, scantiness or stin-
giness. There is no need of a place
expressing poverty; no matter how
small place or how limited the
means. the place can be executed to
represent cleanliness, neatness and
care. There is nothing more beauti-
full than the little garden made by
some old lady upon small patch just
at the door. 1t represents care and
desire for things beautiful, and to
some it would represent more than
the large well kept estates of our
milliOnaires Scantiness and stingf-
ness i'm a place can be easily RENE
died, for if there are not enough
plants available to plant the place
fully the plants on hand can be used
in sufficiently thick masses, which

suitable building as soon as funds
can reasonably be provided.
Montana certainly wishes to take
care Of its educational and other state
institutions Therefore we commend to
the voteFs referendum measure 49,
The bond issue proposed for construc-
ton purposes at state institutions, and
referendum measure 81, the millage
tax statute proposed for the University
of Montana and its activities to replace
the one voted ten years ago which au-
tomatically expires this year. While
there may be diversion of opinion as
to methods of raising revenue for
state purposes the emergency which
exists at this time makes it necessary
that both these measures be approved.
The millage tax is not new tax.

den, Leon Shaw, E. G. Liepheimer, and
r. G. Linebarger, follow:
THE Montana State Press Associa-
ton in its 45th annual convention as
sembled at Butte feels that Montana
easily may congratulate itself upon the
industrial, business and agricultural
situation in the state at this time, when
there are more depressing conditions
than is usual in many parts of the
country.
THE general development and pro-
duction of the state, all things con-
sidered, is highly satisfactory. Our
faith in the resources of Montana is
undiminished and we look to the flu
ture with confidence for progressive
development and permanence in our
institutions The enterprise of our peo-
pie will carry us forward to new and
greater achievements.
I'VE congratulate our president, 7.
F. Rucker, and his staff, for the ex-
cellent work he has done during the
past year. We commend our secre-
tary, Henry Woare, for his efficient
conduct of the business of the associa-
ton.
I'VE wish to call attention by the
state board of education to the fact
that an appropriation for an adequate
demonstration laboratory to be used by
the School of Journalism, has been
included in the educational budget at
the last two sessions of the Montana
legislature, but on each occasion has
been eliminated by the appropriation
committee, and we feel that it is the
incumbent duty of the state board OF
education to come to the assistance
of this institution in its dire, necessity
for laboratory in keeping with the
provisions made for similar institutions
throughout the United States. We also
call attention to the fact that an ade-
quate teaching staff must be provided
