WILBUR STANDS

PHILADELPHIA, May II GIN
S0-The nations children-those

REASONS CITED
| IN ROOSEVELT,
SMITH BREAK

ALBANY, May II UNS0.-
What caused the split be-
tween Governor Franklin d.
Roosevelt, and former Cover
nor Alfred E. Smith,"
Most observers are convinced
that the break between these
once warm personal and political
friends resulted from a series OF
incidents. The first of which
came within three days after
Roosevelt became Governor, Jan
uary l, 1929.
The incidents appear to have
developed, according to friends OF
both, as follows:
Roosevelt refused to accept
Smiths advice on Sta tie
matters.
Roosevelt refused to reap.
point or keep certain of
Smiths friends in responsible
State jobs.
Smith felt that as titular
leader of the Democratic party,

by Roosevelt before the latter
became a presidential can
didate.
Smith fought RooSevelt's 500,
100000 reforestation proposal,
which. however, was approved
by the voters.
RooSevelt's claim that he had
accomplished what Smith was
unable to do--settle the dis
pute between the Republicans
and Democrats over State de-
velopment of the hydro-electric
resources of the st. Lawrence
River, nettled Smith.
RooSevelt's reelection by TBS,
0Oo, which beat Smiths record
by more than 100000 and led
RooSevelt's friends to claim he
was more popular in the State
than Smith, also aroused the
former governor.

PAPER FOR ALASKA

For several years the enormously in
creased demand for paper of all kinds has
given concern to many, who feared that with
the depletion of the forests of Canada and
the United States paper famine might
enSue.
This fear has led to the substitution
with more or less success of other fibers in
stead of wood, as well as to efforts to make
available new sources of wood pulp supply.
In the search for new timber the paper
manufacturers have turned to Alaska,
where immense forests of suitable woods
have been discovered. Two of the largest
timber sales ever made by the United States
Forest Service were negotiated for Alaskan
forests.
One involves the purchase of 1876 ,000,-
900 cubic feet of pulp timber in the vicinity
of Juneau, Alaska, the contract requiring
the erection of paper mill of 200 tons daily
capacity, to be increased within Is years to
400 tons.
The same interests are seeking water
power sites in that region where tremendous
potential water power exists.
Recent surveys of Alaska by govern
ment aviators have revealed almost lmitless
natural resources, and it is likely that adven-
furious spirits of the future will there find a
virgin field for their activities.

for our produce, taxes would not
bother us. One cent bushel addi-
tional price for our oats, one cent

bushel for our potatoes would pay

tiles and provided for employment

shall have something to say later.
Republican politicians tell US
that if Roosevelt is elected presi-

more year. Now I hold no briefs
for Roosevelt but if that prosperity
the republicans have held around

to St. James to hear the socaed millionaire candi-
date for governor" Earle Brown. And as hundreds
that he is the most peculiar millionaire that have
seen.
It was nothing that he himself said Earle
Browns speech was simple but sincere statement
Of what he proposed to do if the people should elect
him. He declared in favor of the income tax, but
said that the people adopt the amendment and
legislature passes bill it must provide for the new
tax to take the place of some other tax and tighten
the burden on farmer and business man he will
veto it.
He pledged himself to keep politics out of his
appointments, making capability the real considera
ton. His record of appointments in the office of
Hennepin county sheriff and highway patrol head
show that he truly make appointments without
regard to politics.
He also pledged himself to cut state expenses
five million dollars for the biennium. And his record
also shows that he do that will not be con-
tent until he does do it.
But those things are not what make him pecul-
lar millionaire. It some of the facts brought out
by other speakers that struck peculiar First,
although wealthy he lives in little bungalow his
farm and prefers life the farm life in the city.
Second, although in position to live life of and
security he accepted and for many years capably
filled the office of sheriff of Hennepin county,
office not without danger and with plenty of hard
work.
While in this office he had salary of $4,000
year but he put more back into the office than he
took out. He QUILTED his deputies with sheep
skin coats. In order that they might be handy
rush calls he built $4,000 garage which he allowed
them to use without any charge to the county Dur
ing tnlS Time ne kept up the taxes On II from MS
personal funds although it was used by the county
free of charge
Then this man, who is supposed to put money
above everything ese gave this $4,000 job to take
$24O0 job head of the state highway patrol.
Then he did another peculiar thing Instead of hand
ing out jobs political favors he let it be known
through the newspapers that he wanted candidates
for the patrolmens jobs. He sifted these down
cording to fitness and then, there being place to
train them, he used his own money to fit up training
quarters at the farm Then he put his boys through
a stiff course of training, finally eliminating all but
the 35 men he allowed
Then the legislature, amazed at the fact that the
Minnesota highway patrol, only year and half
DID, had become an example for the other states of
the union raised his salary from $2400 to 000 Then
most amazing of all, he refused the raise
He's peculiar millionaire indeed, but not half
peculiar the folks who balk at voting for him,
in the face of such record, because he happens to
have inherited more money than most of will
ever have.

BOYS AND THE FARM

Some writer's lament the fact that boys
are leaving the farms, as though the farm
boy had not the same right to choose his vo-
cation in life as other boys. There would be
as much logic in asserting that the son of a
coal miner, for instance, should not aspire,
to be anything but a coal miner.
Of course, if farm boy has no ambi-
ton to enter business, or profession, or is
not willing to apply himself to learning a
skilled trade, he had better stay on the farm.
Without education he would be worse off in
a town or city than in the country, probably
remaining common laborer.
But for the intelligent farm boy who can
secure an education it can not be denied that
the cities offer wider opportunities. In fact,
many of the leaders in every field of endeav-
or came originally from the farm.
While most of the trades and profess
sions appear to be crowded today, farming
is also overdone, as may be seen by the I'M
satisfactory condition of agriculture. More
farm products are raised than can be market
ed at profit over cost of production.
Whenever the demand equals the sup
ply we shall see better prices for agricultural
products, and we shall also see people going
back to the farm. But until that time comes
the farm boy should be encouraged to enter
any vocation for which his talents and edu-
cation are fitting.
1t may be added that there are even now
excellent opportunities right on the farm for
boys who will study and apply modern agr-
cultural methods, but the future holds little
for the indolent and shiftless on the farm or
anywhere else.

ST. PAUL-Ten men who once occupied the lime
light of notorious publicay and who for rs years
more have been all but forgotten behind the grim
walls of Minnesotas state prison at saltwater, will
be given their first opportunity for parole consdera
tions next month.
Two were once sentenced to be hanged before
capital punishment was abolished in this state but
their sentences were committed to live imprison-
ment instead by action of the pardon board.
The prisoners, nine Of whom were convicted of
murder, the oldest living inmates of prison
and the only men who have served Is years or more
in that institution.
Several have no desire to leave the institution.
They are frightened at the thought they might be
forced to acclimate themselves to a new outside
world Several of the men, however, have attempted
to gain their freedom in the past through the state
pardon board.
A. c. Lindholm, chairman of the board of parole,
announced today the board will hold special ses-

robbed Friday of 1000 by gunman.
The holdup occurred shortly after noon while
Melvin Bergund, the assistant cashier was alone In
the bank.
The bandit walked into the place, approached
Berglund and said he wanted to rent a farm. He
said his name was Ray WEIGH, of Atwater.
Then the robber drew pistol, compelled Berg
lund to lie on the floor in the back and then
bound his hands and feet.
The gunman searched the cash drawers and the
vault took the 81 200 and then walked to Berg
lund Placing the pistol to the bound mans head he
snarled: "Tell where the rest of the money is
I'll blow your head off,"
When Berglund assured him there more
money the robber ran out of a rear door, Reaching
the outside he strolled down alley, passing Alfred
Bergren, a resident of Pennock, who noticed the
but did not suspect anything wrong.
The gunman then lesurely got into a small coach
and drove southwark out of town.
Berglund managed to free his hands, pulled him
self to the front door and shouted the alarm. The
deputy sheriff and posse men tried to pick up the
trail

THE FARMER LABOR SIDE

Ito the Editor of The Herald)
The republican candidate for
Governor, Earle Brown is a very
modest man when it comes to his
promise of saving expenses If
elected Governor; so modest that
if the peaple of this state swallow
the promises of the Republican
state platform, the promise to re-
duce expenses five million Dollars
If possible.
Some of your readers have heard
the story of the woman who would
have killed bear if she had had a
gun. That word "if' is small
word, from all reports it is not
so small that the people TO Mime
sofa can seenot it. How can Mr..
Brown expect to be elected Cover
nor by promising saving of five
Millions when his friend, John
Regain, offers to cut expenses
twenty million Dollars If elected,
and John has no eff in his offer
either. This does not matter for
John knows he cannot be elected,
as he will not get over one vote in
ten.
The significant thing about this
saving proposition is that it makes
a piker Of Minnesota's Greatest
saver, former Governor Christian
sen and it works to help defeat the
former governor now a republican
candidate for congress.
You have all heard Of the howl
about the lowest tax rate aver in
1880. This Is true and was made
for purpose and the purpose was
that Gov. Christensen was elected
Governor in 1924 on a tax reduce

stead Of down. so in 1929 some
thing had to be done because
