tentiary where it was declared by the
commission that many of the ancient
methods of torture are still in effect.
This report brough. a sharp re ejoinder
from Warden ]. ]. Sullivan, who de-
clared that the penitentiary was 70
place to coddle the criminal. The
warden is to some extent right. But,
tiaries and our prisons to be reformed,
as Governor Olson believes, they
should be sent back to the world with
at least some little hope of being use
full to society.
Under the new regulations put into
effect at Saltwater, the prisoners will
be permitted privileges unheard of be-
fore Governor Olson had voice in
the administration of this state insti-
tuition. Brutal disciplinary measures
will be forbidden and efforts will be
made to segregate as far as possible
the different classes of prisoners. 1t
has been common under our present
prison system to throw first offenders
into direct contact with hardened
criminals whose only purpose of OBJ
tanning liberty was to again prey upon
society. Under such conditions, re-
form for the prisoner for whom there
might have been some hope is i'm
probable. In many instances prison
ers of this type are sent back to So
ciety criminal at heart and ready to
continue the life which led to their
incarceration.
Governor Olson, as chief prosecutor
of Hennepin county for many years,
had ample opportunity to study crime
and crime-punishment He, better
than any other man who has served
in the governors chair in recent years,
understands the psychology of the men
who are the charges of Warden Sulli-
van. In his desire to help these un-
fortunates he has the full cO-opera-
tion of the State Board of Control,
which, it is known, has for some time
been considering prison reforms.
Warden Sullivan, who is in daily con-
tact with the inmates of the Saltwater
penitentiary, we are sure believes, too,
that even a convict is human.

PAY OBLIGATIONS AND CUT
ARMAMENTS

1t is becoming apparent to many OBJ
serving Americans that the real pur-
pose in the visits of Premier Laval of
France, and Foreign Minister Grandi
of Italy, is the cancelling of European
debts to the American nation. While
in America both of these gentlemen
were entertained by the Wall Street
and Morgan bankers who have large
investments in foreign countries and
desire that those investments should
have better protection. America has
previously taken the position that we
refuse recognition to a country re-
pudiating its obligations. Why should
we now waive that principle of inter-
national dealing with France, Eng
land, and Italy? The International
bankers should not be i'm a position

A NEW "DRIvE-

We have heard of many kinds OF
drives in the past-drives to increase
business, drives for relief funds,
drives to increase membership in this,
that and the other organization, but
here is a new kind of drive" A
baby girl was born in Milwaukee on
Sept. 26th that weighed one pound
and 1874 ounces. Latest reports are
that it is picking up weight at the
rate of one-half ounce per day. And
now at the hospital, the Associated

get the baby out of the incubator by

WHO SUPPLIES
THE FINANCES?

Under date of Dec. Sth, the
Mankato Free Press contained an
editorial headed, Whats Back
of it ALL" in which they show
that some of the news dispatches
in the daily press about tax meet
ings, resolutions for tax reduc-
tions, and reports of doing away
with county agent service in some
rural districts of the state have
not always been of the truthful
kind. They are also skeptical of
the Minnesota Taxpayers Associa-
tion, wondering who are back of
it and who are supplying the
finances for the propaganda work
that they are putting on. The
Free Press article follows:
Circumstances would appear to give
weight to a growing suspicion that
some definite influence is at work at
tempting to draw a distorted picture
of the revolt against taxation in the
rural sections of Minnesota. Cir
cumstances would seem to indicate,
also, that Intentionally or otherwise
the metropolitan centers of the state
are being given the impression that
the farmer is launched on a campaign
to discontinue appropriations for
county agent work and to deal body
blow to the Farm Bureau movement.
An evidence of this was found in a
front page paragraph in the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press of Sunday, under the
heading of Northwest In Review"
This account goes on to state that,
"At a meeting of 1000 Blue Earth
county farmers and their wives the
county commissioners were asked to
discontinue appropriations for the
county agent, county nurse, weed in
spector and home demonstration agent
and to reduce the salaries of county
officers and the road and bridge ap-
preparation"
The whole of which has not a
single item of truth or fact in it. The
only gathering of farmers held re-
Gently was the annual Farm Bureau
meeting last week at which time re-
solutions endorsing both the county
agent and home demonstration work
were passed. There have been other
evidences of such distortion and mis-
representation of the truth in twin
city press reports recently. A story
was carried few weeks ago to the
effect that the county commissioners
in Faribault county had voted to dis
continue the appropriation for the
county agent another year. Investiga-
tion by the Free Press later revealed
that no such action had been taken.
The appropriation for the county
agent in Faribault county next year
stands. It will not be disturbed.
We have at hand a story released
from Minneapolis credited to the Min
nesota Taxpayers Association regard

fleet and wonder just what they ac-
complished and just why the great
daily newspapers usually opposing
their activities applauded them this
time.
Big property owners are all for
reduction of government expendi-
lures. They don't want employment
made for anyone. They back the
taxpayers association for this pur-
pose. And they don't want state
income tax
Next time people gather out in a
rural county we suggest that they
demand passage of an income tax to
place the burden on the moguls of
great wealth and relieve the city
worker and farmer from some of it..
Then let them read the metropoli-
tan dailies the next day and note the
difference in the size of the space
and the comments they receive.
That widely broadcast meeting
protesting against increased expen-
ditures big taxpayers of the state are
hoping to use to advantage. This
advantage can be knocked in the
head by a statewide demand for the
proper kind of an income tax.

HISTORY OF LnlS ndIlOIl Ut OI sdlly OlueT
on the face of the globe has the move
ment for the concentration of capital
in the hands of the few and the plac-
ing of money on the highest pedestal
in the land, gained such momentum as
it has during the past tend rear period.
Continued to its logical conclusion the
next ten years will see even greater
concentration of vast amounts of the
nations wealth and the reduction of
the number of the reigning money
barons to a workable minimum that
will give the vassal millions of the
ordinary run of humans the option of
jumping to the crack of the whip of
big money or revolution. 1t is high
time for the big men of the nation
irrespective of party to scour the rust
from their brain mechanism and plan
for future where human rights and
individual freedom Of opportunity and
action may again hold the position
guaranteed to future generations by
the sacrifices and unselfish states
manship of the founders of the Re-
public.
Mile Laos County Times: All this
talk about that farmers cannot be
helped by politics is beside the ques-
tion. The point is that the farmers
can be hindered from realizing just
returns from their products by other
classes of people working political
schemes to control finance and mark
citing. If the political activity of
their exploiters could be stopped then
it might be different. But the halls
of legislation are filled with the min
ions of interests that have schemes
up their sleeves for making profits
off from the handling of the farmers
products. Tariffs are made for big
business, and to help those who sell
things to the farmers so the farmers
will have to pay more than the world
market price for what they buy, but
are compelled to sell their products
on a world market basis. Cut out
all of the favOritism extended tC
other Interests through political act
tion and legislation, and the farmers
would be well able to hold their own
with any of them. But when political
action is used against them they have
no other remedy than taking up poll
tical action themselves. If they dc
not they will continue to be at the
mercy of their explOiters.

 AS far as the public knows the situation between the church and the republic is still unsettled. The government considered that Cardi- nal Segura had indulged in politi cal expressions unfavorable to the republic, but this has been dis puted by Church authorities.
 There have been various times in the past when the relations have been strained between the Spanish government and the Holy See usually somewhat similar charge being involved; that of alleged po- liticaa activity by some church dig nitaries or Catholic bodies.
 There are always two sides to such questions, but the fact re- naains that there has developed in euaaf, a considerable opinion that the church has had too much in- lluence in politics.

AKRON TO SOON BE TAKEN FROM
 CRADLE IN OHIO
First Lady of Land Will Do Honors to Worlds
 Largest Airship

| WASHINGTON, D. O., July 25.-- The worlds largest airship will rist from it's cradle for the first time to be christened the Akron, August 8.
 Tn it's birthplace, the monster dock at Akron, O., the dirigiblt being built for. the navy will re- csive it's name from Mrs. Hertert Hoover.
 The traditional ceremony of re. leasing white pigeons. each bear ing message of the christening will be observed
 It will mark the approach of the trial flights for the craft designed to be the largest, fastest and the strongest airship yet built.
 The monster hulk of metal and fabric will come to life as an air. craft for the first time before the ceremony, though 1t will not be able to fly.
 Twelve cells in the body will be inflated slowly with helium to raise the ship approximately 10 feet above it's cradle. An operation known as the technical weigh-off. in which the crew will see if the dirigible floats at even keel, will take place.
 Be "Walked' Sideways
 The ship will be walked" side ways 40 feet from the cradle ane secured as if in actual operation for the ceremony by sand ballast being left to float in midair.
 The christening ceremony will b. the same as was observed for the other navy dirigibles, the Shenan- doah and the Los Angeles.
 A flock of homing pigeons, as- sembled from naval st lions throughout the country, will be housed in trap forward of the control car, which will be used ordinarily for releasing handling lines.
 A ribbon in the hands of Mrs Hoover will release the birds tC carry messages of the christening to the navy stations
 Trials Are Dated
 The trials vii take place in tho latter part of August or early Sep tember, under supervision of g board of inspection and survey They will consist of five or six flights of various duration, includ- ing one of 48 hours, to determine speeds, fuel consumption, endur- ance, structural integrity of parts and other details of performance and handling.
 If the trials prove satisfactory the navy department will accept the Akron and have 1t flown tc Lakehurst for commissioning ane docking.
 Navy department officials hay. revealed that the Akron is about 19OoO pounds heavier than the specifications called for, but havt indicated that this will not pre- vent acceptance of the ship.
 Several months will be spent as a "shake-down" period. during g which airplanes and other military equipment will be added, before the ship will take up regular du- ties with the fleet.
