tions, has announced readiness to adhere to an international agree ment on the limitation of mar cot- ics. She could not well abstain from regulations sponsored at Ge- neva and expect to find sympathy with her aspirations for place there
 The development has caused a furry in the rapidly growing opium industry here. Long an uncontrol- led producer of crude opium, the country has, within IS months, jumped into worldwide notoriety as an equally uncontrolled manu- facturer and exporter of the more deadly derivatives of the poppy plants product.
 Plenty For All World
 Turkish delegates to this winters conference in London of drug man. ufacturing countries, amour ced there that the republic is export ing II ,440 pounds of morphine and 19,O00 pounds of heroin annually.
 This is more than half the worlds medicinal requirements of morphine and 5000 pounds in excess of the legitimate global need for heroin.
 Turkey, never having adhered to an international limitation, has been officially indifferent to this growth, except as source of in- creased export taxes, but she has watched the industry rather close ly.
 Seyfi Bey, director of customs, said that of 1000 eases of crude opium produced in Turkey last year, 4,000 were awaiting exporta- tion. Each case contained l65 pounds.
 Foreign Nations Warned
 The exportation of opium and it's derivatives is carefully watched by the ministry of hygiene" he said. Foreign consulates are noti- fled of all shipments destined for their respective countries
 But the length and loneliness of the Turkish littoral, coupled with inadequacy of the coast guard, makes Turkey smuggler's para disc. @
 Investigators believe that rnucn7 contraband opium passes up the Bosphorus to Russia, where it isI manufactured and then smuggled back to secluded Turkish ports on the Black Sea. Thence it passes to Europe, America and the Far East.
 But besides this contraband, there exists what to the Turkish mind is the perfectly legal exportatlon of narcotics made in the three fac- tories of IStanbul.

Real Speed of Ducks
Breaks Hunters ALibi

The alibi of the hunter who said
that the ducks he missed went by him
100 miles an hour has been "shot to
pieces with statistics on speed of
birds compiled by worker in the
Bureau of Biological Survey in the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
EarlieS estimates on the speed of
ducks credited these birds with phen-
omenal speeds, but automobiles and
airplanes have made more accurate
timing of their flying possible. The
most accurate checks thus far made
show that ducks and geese do not or
dinarily go more than 40 miles an
hour, although they are capable OF
increasing their speed if frightened
They can not, however, maintain the
higher speed for a long time The
fastest bird timed was a duck hawk in
California, which flew at a speed of
165 to 100 miles an hour while chasing
its prey.
Mallards timed in France and Eng
land flew SO to So miles an hour, and
a flock at top speed in California when
timed with an airplane went only SIS
miles an hour. Pintails chased by an
airplane in California flew SIS to IS
miles an hour, and a canvasback made
u miles an hour Canada geese timed
in Massachusetts, flew A miles an hour
and brant in Scotland flew As miles
an hour.

whom they called their greatest and
best citizen. It would not be fair to
judge "the Great Commoner" by the
verdict of the voters, nor by the en-
thusiastic eulogies at his funeral. If
we average these opinions we will come
to know just what kind Of q man
william Jennings Bryan was.
So maintain that "in the long run"
the average opinion of mans neigh
borS, friends and enemies, if he has
them, in the community in which he
lives is description of his real char
acter. A mans character is what he
really is and his reputation is what the
community thinks he is. Character
and reputation are then the same, If
the good opinion of neighbors and
friends is sought and gained. The
Good Book says, "a good name is rather
TO be chosen than great riches"
All set. Let's get good name.

Rotary Governor Edward
Tuohy in his address on inter
national service to the Rotar-
ians here last week stated that
it should begin at home and
that interest in international
affairs is vital to every COM
munity. He followed this
with the statement that when
a country gets to the point
where too many people are
seeking relief from the govern
ment, that government is bound
to break as a result. The way
the individual can aid in solv-
ing these problems is by stand
ing back of honest and in
formed men. Individual citi-
zens must enlarge their ideas
on international life so they
can aid in the solution of prob
lens presented them" He al
so pointed out that one of the
greatest criticisms of this
country at present is that we
have loaned too much money
to foreign countries and that
the money for these loans was
obtained from men who became
disinterested in their own vo-
cations and sought to acquire
more wealth by specializing.
In this he had reference to the
almost universal desire of 1929
to get out of their own VOL
cations and get in on the rapid
riches to be accumulated inl

They're Karin to Go.

The newly organized conservation
commission will never be able to chew
all that it bit off at Virginia, says
Representative Hitchcock in the Hib-
bling Tribune.
Completing five-day tour Of Nor
thern Minnesota the commission con-
fessed that it was much impressed.
In fact, after it got fairly launched
in it speaking program at Virginia, it
waxed enthusiastic over the beauties,
the needs and the possibilities of
Northern Minnesota. It has seen more
things to do than it or any other COM
mission could do in years or decades.
1t sensed the possibilities of profit to
the entire state in the vast, and yet
undeveloped, reaches and resources of
this section of the state. It paid a
glowing tribute to the North and it
eloquently called for action. The
things which many of us have tried
for years to din into the ears of the
state, it delightedly discovered for the
first time, and it was voluble in its
demand for action.
What will come of it all?
The commissioners convinced very
representative audience of range people
of their sincerity. Their tour through
Northern Minnesota has quickened
their appreciation of what an adequate
conservation policy may do for the
state and they are eager to set their
hands to the task. But the difficulties
are many. The commission may be
enthusiastic, but the Southern Mime
sofa is far from sensing the wealth
that it has in Northern Minnesota.
Southern Minnesota, for the greater
part, still regards Northern Minnesota
as a liability. Northern Minnesota has
for years been trying to awaken the
South. We wonder how soon the COM
mission will grow discouraged as it
butts its head against the ignorance
and indifference of the southern and
central portions of the state.
There is another handicap that will,
we fear, considerably slow up the COM
mission as time goes on. If it sets its
| lldllQ OllC-lldll VI GllC p1OJCCho ~ ~
vigorously outlined at Virginia, its
members will be compelled to give over
their private affairs and devote their
whole time to the business of the con-
servation,- all without money and with
out price to their own individual poe
kets. One of the commissioners ad-
mitted at Virginia that he had thought
the appointment an honor, but dis
covered that it was an opportunity to
work,-for nothing.
The commission is enthusiastic,
eager, and it manifests a determination
to walk the straight and practical path
to success rather than the devious
political way of personal and party
profit. But will a Governor so politi-
cally minded as is Floyd Olson permit
them to maintain this fine attitude?
And if the Governor keeps his hands
off, will the farmer-labor party stand
for it, the farmer-labor party whose
protestations and promises to the people
are only exceeded by its consuming ap-
petite for the loaves and the fishes?

In the long run the average opinion
of the people with whom a man lives
viii be a pretty accurate description OF
his real character. II l want to know
who you really are, let me go around
in your community and ask your
friends, your neighborS- even your
enemies, if you have any-JuSt what
kind of a man you are. If l average
the opinions of you going over long
stretch of years, 1 will know you, the
real man. If you want to know me,
the real man, go among my neighbors,
my friends, my enemies, If l have any,
and find out what they think OF me.
And if you will do this for long
period of time, and get the average of
these opinions, you will know just what
my real character is. You will notice
that guard my statement by saying,
"in the long run"
Popularity rises and falls as the years
go by. A man may stand well in his
community for while and then some
thing happens. He takes an unpopular
side Of some great civic or moral Ques-
ton and losses his popularity. Then
this may pass away and his former
popularity comes back.
On the Sunday of his last week Jesus
entered Jerusalem in triumph with
everybody crying, Hail to the King.
On the Friday the mob looked on Him
suffering on the Cross and Knocked and
reViled Him. Later on the world came
to look upon him as the Jews did on
that Palm Sunday. If We were to
judge Jesus from the human stand
point, we must look upon him for the
whole years of his ministry and the
years of his eternal reign. To really
know man you must know him fol
a long time. I guard my statement in
the second place by saying the average
opinion
1 knew a preacher whose wife tolo
me he was the best man in the whole
world. There was some excuse fol-
her making this statement, for she hao
only been married just one week
Others spoke about this husband ano
said he was not worth the powder tc
blow him up. 1t wouldn't be fair tc
take either of these extreme state
mentS as describing the character OF
the preacher. We should average these
extreme statements.
When William Jennings Bryan ran
for president in 1896, he was citizen
of Lincoln, Nebraska. When the cleo

TOMORROW.

Have you ever stopped to think
That today is not so bad
It's the dread of dark tomorrow
That makes us glum and sad.
We're sure, some how or other,
We can make the present grade;
It's t0morrow's vexing problem
Of which we're sore afraid.
And yet our past tomorrows-
Were they worse than our todays?
Was not the darkness riven
By hopes beguiling rays?
Might we then not curb our worries
BY mindfulness always
That the God who makes tOmorrows
Is the God of our todays?

their income are the real
causes for the economic de-

The Senator is a keen student
of economics and an analysis
of his statement is worth while.
The people of Virginia
showed a fine sense of the
fitness of things when they
waited on Commissioner Bah
cock last week and asked for
the rerouting of Nos Z and II
highways into the city. The
present route of No. Z enters
the city over mining property,
too valuable for road purposes.
The rerouting will be done be-
ginning at the Florenton line
to connect with No. II about
three miles north of the city
and both enter the city over
the same route. AS No. Z is
placed in condition for paving
and will be paved in all proba-
bility in the next two years,
the rerouting should be done
at this time. Besides shorten
ing the route between here and
Virginia, it would also help
out the unemployment situa-
ton this winter, the proposition
being put up to the highway
department to work on the
same at once.
From this distance this ap-
pears the proper move and we
heartily commend the Virginia
delegation for the efficient
manner in which the matter
was presented to Highway
Commissioner Babcock under
the leadership of Commissioner
Murray of the Sixth District
backed up by the responsible
citizens of the Mesaba range
city. Everyone from Ely to
Virginia should stand behind
this move solidly. The sooner
this is done the sooner we will
be supplied with paved road
out of Ely via. Virginia and
the balance of the wide world.
Behind the move also are the
county commissioners of st.
Louis county, a body of men
whose opinion goes a long way
in the transaction of public
business. These men feel that
in the interests of public well
fare it is far more important
to furnish employment this fall
and winter and get permanent
returns for the money invested
than to dole out greatly aug
mented poor fund later in the
season.
