Learning to Put On The Brakes

That we have been going through the most
disastrous times in years no one will deny and yet
out of it's ruins have at least learned one lesson
How to put on the brakes. Of course lot of us
hadn't used them for so long we had about for
gotten where to look but listen brother, when you
are going down hill at full speed overloaded with
sef-confdence and geared for a nonstop run;
then look up only to the bridge gone before it's
time to take your foot off the accelerator and reach
for the emergency brake before you're lost in the
maelstrom of disaster.
Yes truly, we have progressed and at rapid
rate. Speed has been our watchword and final
goal below and no one cared very much about what
to happen above. In fact, everybody so
busy speeding up nobody had time to think. 1t
simply wasn't being done in the speediest families
Then what was the use of bothering about think
ing anyhow Let the other fellow do it.
Wasn't your broker investing your money for
you at a 20 per cent yield, which could never get
lower? Was not motor getting cheaper and
gas stations more plentiful? Didn't we have a two
billion dollar Congress? Why, said the wise boys
of industry we hadn't started to go yet. Just wait
until the farmers get speeded up and then things
will happen-and they did.
Everybody with as much as thirteen acres
bought one tractor, two automobiles and dozen
mortgage blanks, and started out to multiply and
replenish the earth, and all that's left now to
multiply is mortgages
But at last we are, through necessity slowing
down and beginning. ito really think of ourselves,
and when men and women begin thinking right,
then will plans be formulated and this old sphere
move along in safe and sane manner Yes,
brother, it's been pretty hard lesson and very
expensive one, but we have at least learned where
the brake pedal is.-Hunter Freeman in Paris Mo-.

Ely KnO,Un EUerylDhere.

The Manila Daily Bulletin of March
10th contained an item about the
number IA being unlucky for the Ely
High School basketball team. The
item was an Associated Press mail dis
patch and read:
ELY high school basketeers have no
superstitious fears of the number Is,
but IA has bothered them lot lately
In their last four games with their
deadly rivals, the boys from Eveleth,
the Elys have lost four times and on
each occasion their scoring stopped on
the IA mark

SnOlU Fall is Large
But Roads are Open.

Although the past winter has been,
in the amount of snow fall, much like
the record breakers the old timers tell
about, Minnesota trunk highways have
been 100 per cent open the greater part
of the time. Even during the more
severe weather, nearly all of the high
ways have been open or passable part
of the time every day during the winter.
Only half dozen short stretches were
blocked longer than day at any time.
Records kept by district maintenance
superintendent show heavy snow fall
nearly all parts of the state. The total
snow fall in inches, as reported by the
various district headquarters, is as fol-

forming drifts on the road, which makes
a big difference in the amount of snow

the cogs of the political ma
chinery of the state so effec-
lively as to scramble the entire
pie counter inasfar as the cleo
ton of congressman is con-
cerned. Unless Governor Olson
calls a special session of the
legislature, which he says he
will not do, congressman will
be elected at large in the nine
districts of the state. Without
a doubt there will be a wild
scramble for places on the con-
gressional ticket and it is bare
ly possible that the congestion
of voters in the large cities will
be able to dominate the election
and choose nine congressman
from around the Twin Cities to
represent Minnesota in the aug
ust body at Washington.
The decision has furnished
the Twin Cities with a choice
morsel and the powers that be
are rolling the same over their
tongues and estimating their
chances of filling congress with
heavenly twin subjects for the
nine places to be filled. In
talking to man today, who
has his political ears attuned
to the finer noises of the cam
paign, he offered to bet us that
no one north of St. Cloud would
land in a congressional seat.
Why he selected st. Cloud, we
are at a loss to understand as
he could just as we'll have said
north of Minneapolis" The

men will again open up the
usual scrap between the north
and south end of the state and
it will be the usual dog eat dog
policy intensified with the
north end paying the taxes and
the south end getting the bene-
fits and holding the offices.
We may speak a little harsh
ly of the southern end but in
our "A years of experience in
this section of the country it
was ever thus. Did you ever
hear of any governor being
elected north of the Twin
Cities? We fail to remember
any such an occasion. The
closest we ever came to it was
when Bob Dunn was nominated
from Princeton and even the
short distance between Prince
ton and the Twin Cities failed
to dampen the ardor of the
DOWNSTAIRS and Bob was de-
feated. AS far as politics is
concerned, the Mason and
Dixon line is located just north
of Minneapolis. The same will
apply in case of the congress
sional imbroglio we now find
ourselves in.
However, a ray of hope
has been held out. 1t has been
proposed to hold the district
conventions for the endorse
ment of candidates just the
same as though nothing has
happened and select men on
the ticket to stand behind in
all the nine districts. With the
added prestige of an endorse
ment in their home district, the
matter may be not as tough as
it appears at the present time.
At that, everyone with fifty
dollars to spare may decide to
place his name on the primary
ballot. The big ray of hope
in this is that there are a COM
parative few who have the SO
bucks. We know of a few
who will be on the ticket. They
have been on every ticket for
any old thing from governor to
highway superintendent every
election since the primary
system came into use.
