Satisfaction for the LaW-Abiding

SAc WAN ASf 1870
Action by a New York jury in convicting James A
Connolly, st. Paul broker. will meet with the approval OF
every law-abiding citizen.
The Minnesotan was fined s25 900 and sentenced to 1C
years in prison for using the mails in the sale of stolen
securities. The prosecutors showed that he had mar
keted $75 900 in bonds taken in mid western bank rob-
berries and had refused to repurchase them when their
origin became known.
Boiled down to plain terms, Connolly was accused and
convicted of being a fence for a class of criminals
which has overrun these midwestern and northwestern
states for several years. North Dakota and Bismarck
know how they work.
Back of the men who hold the guns in the "stickup'
of a bank, there is another and more cold-blooded GRIM
inal. He is the man who, under the guise Of q broker
or financier, enables the lesser crooks to dispose of their
loot at a profit.
1t is not a large profit, to be sure, for the man who
deals in hot securities knows the risk he may re tax
ing and charges accordingly.
If it were not for such men, bank robbery would lose
much of it's lure, for a bond without a market Is just
another piece of paper to the bandit. With an un-
scrupulous broker available to help him, it becomes an
incentive to continued robbery.
There are few businesses in which it pays to begin at
the top, but it looks as though the crushing Of crime Is
one of them.
Catch the fences" and the brains of criminal organ
tzations, Jail the IMAM higher up" and there will be little
trouble in dealing with the small fry which remain.

Careful, Governor!
Duluth HERALD

Dulull 11SIdlUp
Governor Olson announces that he will have an
examination made of the expenditures Of the Great
Lakes--St. Lawrence Tidewater association from the be-
ginning down to date.
That is perfectly legitimate. No doubt the association
will welcome the examination, and no doubt it will be
able to account satisfactorily for every dollar received
from this and other states to be used to carry on the
fight to put through the st. Lawrence project.
But Governor Olson also announces that after the
examination is over he will ask the legislature not to
appropriate any more money for this purpose.
And that, at this time, would be a tragic folly and a
stupid mistake.
If there had been no fight for it, the ST. Lawrence
project would not be where it is, with the two govern
ments on the point of planning joint construction of
the work. If this and other states had not financed
the fighting organization, the fight for it would have
been impossible.
The fight is by no means over.
When the governments agree on a plan. the project
must be put through congress, and that means another
struggle.
To abandon the effort now, with success almost within
reach, would be to make the money already spent pure
waste.
The governor does not say why he proposes this, but
whatever his reason, his plan would betray q very vital
interest which is not the interest of Duluth only, but of
every shipper in Minnesota and every citizen OF the state.

Nations and Humans

When Johnnie Jones speaks i'll of Willie Smith, the
back alley is usually the scene of the next act Fistic
battles have always been popular. In fact, small boys
have a habit of oojecting to a verbal apology. 1. spolk
the show.
When one government makes a remark that isn't &C
ceptable to another the same thing is likely to happen
with the high seas as the stage. Time was when one
nation would have put cotton in its ears and ~shouldered
It's guns If another one wanted to apologize fer some
chance remark. But fortunately that is ending. Now
that the art of courtesy is being practiced the art of
war isn't so powerful.
The United States has made a formal apology to Italy
for statements uttered by Major General Slnedley d.
Butler regarding Premier Mussolini. Mussoliri, being
very human, objected to some remarks of the United
States marine corps officer. The United States, having
a sense of justice and fitness which demanded that 1t
do the chivalrous thing, sent deep regrets.
1t never reflects on a nation, any more than it does
never lost. Italy and America will be better friends. In
all probability, because the United States government
wasn't afraid to make atonement for the carelessness
OF one of it's representatives.
It is true that this is the first instance, SO far as the
state department has been able to ascertain, where 1t
has been necessary for us to apologize to another ma
ton for statements made by a ranking officer.
1t is unfortunate that the condition arose which made
such an action necessary. But it is no blot on our
escutcheon that we made atonement for it. Only a small
personality or nation will refuse to be gracious and admit
its error.

where inoetween.
But even one Is too many. For to that one his attic.

large number Of people who. taken in the mass, con-
stitutc a cancer in the breast of society. They have been
pulled down thenselves-and what is worse they are
constantly pulling others down with them.
1t was only a few days ago that this and other news
papers carried the story Of the death of a once famous
motion picture actress. She became a victim of drugs
and her efforts to fight free of it's clutching embrace
failed.
To the millions who once admired her this unti,nely
end should serve as a warning. To those engaged in
stamping out this damnable traffic it should be All
inspiration to fight still harder.
For, after all. the drug traffic is one in which the
real articles sold arc honor, blood, tears, happiness and
life itself.

An Unconvincing Excuse

Among one of the minor matters now before congress
is a bill relating to the bag limit on wild game.
Hearings were held on it and all sides of the question
were discussed.
One of the most surprising disclosures was made by
Paul H. R~edington. chief of the bureau of biological sur
vey, who said his department has authority to abolish
the batting of ponds and lakes with grain as a lure to
ducks but will not do SO because members Of duck
shooting clubs contend such action would destroy the
value Of their lands.
MI. Redington is quoted as saying. members Of the gum
clubs would be on a par with the millions of farm boys
and ordinary citizens who once in a while go out hunt
ing and earn what they get by tramping and rowing"
What a pity It would be to have such a calamity occur
to those so-called "sportsmen" who prefer operation
Of a slaughter house for Gods birds Of the air to an
honest hunt.
Sportsmen. Faugh.

In March. 1861, the Confederate
states adopted the stars and bars
as their national flag and ratified a
permanent constitution. It differed
from that OF the United States in a
number OF important points, four Of
which may be mentioned here:
/. The president could not be re-
elected.
2. He could veto any appropriation
and at the same time approve Of any
other appropriation in the same bill.
3. AL protective duties and pro-

MEAT FOR CHILDREN

So many parents have a mistaken
| idea that for some reason meat Is noe
, rood for children. How often l nave
heard mothers say when they have
brought their children to me LOT ex-
animation that they do not under
stand why their child is sick because
they almost never give him meat.
Children usually like meat from
carly bahyilocd, but are constantly
told by their parents that meat Is
not good for little boys and girls
Perhaps, IN some cases. where the
family has a limited income. the
mother thinks It Is necessary to cut
down expenses by not allowing the
children to have meat which, OF
course, Is more expensive than
mushes. bread and gravy, but I be-
Meve that the trouble usually comes
from the mother having improper IN
formation on the subject.
The growing child needs protein
food even more than the adult. and
meat is Nj of the finest Of all pro-
teins.
There are two principal types Of
children who viii have enough trou-
bic to be brought to the doctor for
advice. One is the fat-faced child

matte disposition. This child usually
has adenolds and enlarged tonsils.
caused BY using too much milk and
Carbohydrate foods. This is the d.
gestive type, and the child Of this
type is able to digest fats. sugars and
starches, but develops various glandu-
lar troubles and becomes overweight
from the very fact that he can so
easily digest. these kinds Of foods.
The other type Of child is the thin
laced n with poor digestion and
subject to nervousness. liver troubles,
bad breath and constipation. The fat
faced child should be given less of
the fattening foods, and proteins such
as meat. combined with green's, should
be substituted. The thin faced child
viii always be able to digest meat and
other proteins better than fats and
carbohydrates and under q high pro-
TEN diet win have less stomach and
liver disorders with a sweeter breath
and more normal bowel movements.
Every child over three years Of age
should have at least one meat meal
a day, using one-fourth to q half
pound of lean meat, together with
any Of the cooked and raw non
starchy vegetables which he likes
best. Starches should be left out of
this meal At least one egg daily
should also be used, and if the child
dilikes eggs. in many cases it is wise
to substitute a small amount Of meat
in place Of the egg which is usually
taken at breakfast.
In my private practice I have nev-
er observed a child who could not

West Indian lockwood should also be
suitable for chessmen. This wood Is
much more common and Is consider

can species holly is probably best
suited for chessmen. This wood is

QUESTIONS AND w
Occupational Strain

Question: j. F. w. writes: II have
been a matchmaking jeweler for
nearly forty years and am still at
my trade, but have now somehow de-
veloped a stiffening pain just above
the middle of my shoulders. Can
scarcely lift my head or turn from
side to side. I had tuberculosis in
the second stage when is years old,
but overcame that trouble. I am
wondering II that left me weak, and
If a little hard work causes my trou-
BILE. otherwise, I am hearty and hale,
and weigh 100 pounds"
Answer: You are no doubt strain
ing yourself by sitting in II position
too long. You may be able to over
come your trouble by taking exer-
cises for your neck and upper back.
This will strengthen the muscles
which would allow you to stand the
strain of your daily work.
Onions
Question: r. A. D. writes: Il
would appreciate it if you would an
swer this in the paper. I am a big
onion eater. Everyone says that they
are not good for me. Kindly advise
If 1t is harmful to eat so many"
Answer: Some people who r &C.
customed to onions are able to eat
them without apparent harm, but
they have a tendency to produce eX-
cessive gas. Even If they build you
up physically, they tear you down
socially. and your best friends may
even tell you about it.
Loss of Hair
Question: Mrs. K. P. asks: Would
an operation for the removal of the
appendix cause the hair to fall out
iE great lots?"
Answer: If your hair started COM
ing out shortly after the operation,
it must have been due to the surgi-
cal shock or to the fever you had be-
fore the operation. The hair will no
doubt grow back again if you regulate
your diet so as to get plenty Of silicon
and other minerals out of which the
body manufactures hair.

Uncle Sam Misses the Point

O~AAA - SAAN \ OAAAO
1t isn't often that We have opportunity to get fun out
of the governments income tax but even in the grim
NEST situation there may be elements of hunor.
For example, the internal revenue bureau sends out to
newspapers a complete explanation Of the income tax
law and. contained in it, is a paragraph which the gov
ernment presents under the delightful title Income
Tax in a Nutshell" Here is what the aforesaid nutshell
contains:
WHO? Single persons who had net income
OF $500 or more or gross income of $4,000 Or
more and married couples who had net income
OF $500 or more or gross income Of $4,000 Or
more must file returns.
WHEN? The filing period ends March 16,
1881.
WHERE? Collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the person lives or has his
principal place of business.
"HOW? Instructions on Forms l040A and
1040; also the law and regulations.
WHAT? One and one-half per cent normal
tax on the first $4,000 in excess of the personal
exemption and credits. Three per cent normal
tax on the next $4,000. Five per cent normal tax
on the balance of net income. Surtax on net
income in excess Of $4,000
Item No. 4, under the heading of How may meet
with the approval of the government but it will be of
little use to the man who is paying the tax. for, like as
not, his problem of How" will be entirely different.
What he would like to know is where he is going to
get the money to pay the tax. This is true every year,
for even to those fortunate persons who make enough
to warrant them in paying a tax, the governments levy
always comes as something of a painful surprise. And
borrow to meet the bill which Uncle Sam presents to
them.
The How which Uncle Sam offers may meet his pur-
poses but to the man footing the bill and contemplating
the money he has spent, forms lo40 and 1o4OA look like
a rather grim joke.
He is likely TO- feel that Uncle Sam has missed the
point.
