Had His Doubts.

And the incident mentioned in FORE
going paragraph recalls to mind rather
humorous dissent to the decision OF an
official in one of the matches at George
town Saturday night. A Bucknen
boxer had carried the fight to his
Georgetown opponent through all three
rounds and had landed some hard wal
lops, while virtually all he got were light
taps. The Georgetown man was bleed
ing, but the Bucknell man seemed
hardly ruined when the final gong
sounded. The referee stepped blithely
to one side Of the ring then TO the other
for the decisions of the two Judges, then
announced the Georgetown man had
won on points. A member Of Congress,
a Bucknell alumnus, who was a great
athlete at Bucknell years ago, leaned
forward and in droll kind OF way re-
marked:
We'll, that Georgetown man may have
won, but I'd blame sight rather be the
Bucknell man right now"

remarkable growth.
He was minister with a fine
background of education in whose phi

and a punch most impressive and in
spring He has ben an indefitig-
able worker who not only found time
to interest himself in civic affairs but
brought to them a point of view re-
freshing for its tolerance and kindly,
constructive interest. He has become
widely known, during his Minneapolis
pastorate, as a powerful speaker and
a man of ideas as well as ideals.
"Dr. Smith displayed much origi-

Cleveland, after IL years residence
in the Mill City where he became very
well known as pastor. orator. radio
speaker. author, and for his great
interest in civic and human affairs.
DR.. Smith has spoken before Pine
county audiences at Askov and Pine
City and has become known to many
Pine county folks as well as people
throughout the northwest. through his
radio talks. A story told by the pas
tor goes something like this: A man
met him on the street one day and
said, Il would attend your church
services were it not for the fact that
so many folks there are not what
they ought to be-" DR.. Smiths reply
was: Come on in, we have room for
more people of that type"
In an editorial the other day The

FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Census figures, manufacturing fig
ureS and other tabulatiOns show that
there is too much Capitalization of
tion centers. New York, Chicago, De-
troit, and other cities are large
enough now and there are plenty of
slumS in the country without getting
more or charging them. Let us work
toward keeping the rural communities
nation.
The Independent Bankers Associa-
ton, which was organized by Mime
sofa rural bankers to fight the men
ace of branch and group banking, is
doing a valuable work for the state
port. This association has now grown
until it embraces within its member
ship a very large proportion of the
states rural bankers. They are fight
ing the branch and group banking
systems and are seeking to prevent
establishment of branch banking In
Minnesota. This is an effort which
should have the support of all citizens
interested in rural development.
There is real menace to the country
in the centering of banking wealth.
The Independent Bankers Association
apparently represents the only organ
lied effort in the state which is at
the present time combating the group
and branch banking idea

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
(CasS Lake Times)

The northern lights are not under
stood and for that reason cause one
to gaze at them with awe and wonder.
An Indian one evening, whose atten-
ton was directed to the wonderful
display of the North, was asked what
the Indians thought of them and he
replied that they were "Geeby nee
midi meaning ghost dance" He
went further and explained that it was
the dead people dancing or the dance
of the dead. The Indians reasoning is
just about as good as any. 1t shows
that he believed that the human being
was possessed with soul and that
this soul was everlastingly alive. 1t
is further proof of his belief in the
Great Spirit. 1t is further proof of
his belief in the Happy Hunting
Ground. Though pagan he was yet
it was further belief in a Religion
whose principles he faithfully re-
garded in the conduct of his daily life.

their first name and know their ac-
tivities why they cannot break up the
crime regime. If the gangster's
names are known so well by the police
force and their faces are so readily
recognized, why is it that officers of
the law in that city can't lay their
hands on the persons wanted instead
of their relatives.

opinion to stand in the way of true
friendship. 1t should be possible for
two men to disagree on every eco
nomic and social subject within their
powers of discussion and yet remain
the best of friends. We should be
able to see that character is the true
test of friendship and not political,
religious, or economic ideas.
We plead at this time for a good,
broad minded attitude among our citi-
zens. Stick to your own ideas. Stand
up for what you believe. and accord
the other fellow the same right.
When we approach our public is
sues from this point of view we will
be considering various subjects and
problems on their own merit, and we
will be the better enabled thereby to
arrive at intelligent and impersonal
judgments.

CHICAGO'S CRIME BUNGLE

With the announcement that the
wives and other near relatives OF
Chicago's public enemies (Gangsters)
are to be arrested and held as hostage
comes murmurings throughout many
sections of the country. 1t is a noble
effort of Chicago to try in some man
ner to wipe out the crime ring which
that city has experienced in the past
but to wipe it out in such manner
is more pitiful and humiliating to
the more intelligent of residents in
that city.
In the first place, if the Chicago
police force had been managed right
and conducted on the square such a
deplorable situation would not now
exist and it would seem child's play
to arrest women and relatives of
gangsters in order to bring the prin-
cipals to justice. The Minneapolis
Tribune's editorial appearing in the
September 80 issue contained the fol-
lowing paragraphs which show the
futility of the whole situation.
THE Chicago police have built up
the myth that organized crime in Chi
cago has grown to the extent that any
end justifies the means. This is hyp-
ocrisy and nonsense as well. If the
Chicago police were sincere in their
efforts to stamp out organized vice,
they could clean up Chicago in "a
hours. The truth is that the law en-
afH 20 10
for the conditions that exist in Chi
cago. which conditions. will probably
continue as long as fifty cents worth
of whisky can be readily sold for SO.
Illicit liquor is the foundation of Chi
cagO's crime orgy. There are other
rackets, other gratis and other crimes,
but the beer runners and the boot
leggers are the foundation of the
whole crime structure.
bad as it is in Chicago, the hold
ing~ef hostages is worse. That was
done in the dark ages by our ancestors
and by SavageS at a later date. 1t was
effective and tyrants and autocratic
rulers managed to get their will done
by this method. The holding of
hostages to compel compliance is sus-
ceptible of development according to
the needs of the occasion. They used
to cut off the ears of hostages and
others and put them to much grief
to impress the cOntumacious and no
doubt the Chicago police have this
effective possibility in mind. Mr..
Capone, scOundrel though he may be,
no doubt would be tempted to law
obedience if he were to receive Mrs.
Capone's ears as warning of more
drastic measures to be TAKEN
Chicago papers have from time to
time published articles concerning
the activities of certain gangsters
and other papers throughout the ma
ton and contained news items about
"Al CapOne, beer baron" or Scar
face AL. gangster," and such other
criminal cognomens just as though
they were talking about respectable
and law-abiding citizens and their oc-
equations. 1t has always been a mys-
terry in our mind that since Chicago's
police force know the criminals by

FALLING FOR THE STRANGER
Fergus Falls JournaD

1t is reported that solicitors have
been going about lately proposing to
get up some kind of booklets and
seeking to buy the endorsement of
church organizations. In some cases
they agree to give the booklets to
the church people free of charge to
sell at whatever price they see fit,
and also to give them a little cash in
return for their endorsement. The
booklet may contain a church history
or anything else but the solicitor, IS
always want some good lady church
member to go around with him and
introduce him, when holding up mer-
chants for advertising space. A Fer
gus Falls pastor tells of a solicitor
of this type visiting southern city
a while ago and working his little
scheme. The party appeared to have
the very best of credentials and a
leading church member went with
him and got some advertising from
most of the merchants of the place,
the solicitor taking their checks in
payment. At the close of the day,
the solicitor took the checks to the
bank the lady accompanying him and
