Lennox had graduated from
Columbia in June, if not cum

ly afterwards, his mother took
him and Elizabeth abroad. It
was Elizabeth's first trip, she
was palpitant with a gentle ex-
element. Lennox, to whom
Hyde Park was no more than
Central, found himself looking
at conventional portions Of
Europe through new, enchanted
eyes, her eyes. He had been
so often, since his childhood, he
had not thought to find wonder
in familiar things. But he did.
The previous summer had
been spent at a Staid hotel in
the AdirondackS. That had
been adventure enough for her,
Elizabeth thought.
Now she knew that adven-

DEATH REMOVES GOOD HIGHWAY
ENGINEER

Charles A. Forbes, dean of engi-
neers of the Minnesota Highway de-
partment, passed away early last
Thursday morning at st. Paul, after
having been in failing health for the
past several weeks.
Entering the employ of the state in
1911 Mr.. Forbes has been connected
since with the highway department
where he served for the past several
years in the capacity of engineer OF
Division No. 1, embracing the state
trunk highways in the region of the
head of the lakes.
Interment took place Saturday at
Mendoza and in respect to the memory
of the deceased the offices of the state
department were closed the day OF
the burial. The many messages
reaching the members of the family
and Commissioner C. M. Babcock
with whom Mr.. Forbes has long been
associated in highway activities, gave
impressive testimony of the esteem
in which Mr.. Forbes was held.

our democracy. The nation seems to
be in the hands of the most sordid,
timid and self-seeking elements of
our national life, brought together in
two closely knit organizations whose
reason for existence is to capture Of

age. Both parties have become ends
in themselves; neither conceives of
itself as an instrument of any domi-
nant ideal or of the common good:
but each thinks of policies and the
common welfare in terms of party
success. This, however, does not JUS
tlfy cynical attitude on anyone's
part. 1t should, on the contrary, stim-
ulate us to find a remedy. That rem

HINCKLEY STUDENTS
TRY FOR NEW CORN

Agriculture students of the Hinck-
ley high school undertook corn variety
trials this spring under the direction
of their instructor, A. C. Weber, and
in cooperation with the University
of Minnesota Extension Division and
these tests are now we'll under way.
The purpose is to find a variety which
will yield we'll and mature under local
conditions.
Of the five new varieties being tried
on Is farms, the E X 1 cross and a
strain of White Cap developed in
Aitkin county seem to be the most
promising. The Pearl Flint variety
is nearest maturity at the present
time but also produces the least fod-
der. Dry weather has retarded all
of the corn somewhat. However, it
is significant that in most every case
one or more of the new varieties are
superior to the variety commonly
grown on the farm.
If these tests result in a new var
iety of corn being introduced in Pine
county, the boys feel that their work
will have been we'll worthwhile. If
anyone has questions about these var
ieties they will be answered gladly
if addressed to Mr.. Weber, agricul-
tural teacher at Hinckley.

CAN'T MAKE BREADg

The daily press has reported that
the city of Minneapolis has on hand
some thirty thousand sacks of Red
Cross flour it has been unable to
give away because the wives of un-
employed men do not know how to
make bread.
One might ask: Is the above news

son to become prejudiced against the

hold duties and it would be better if
there were less of that type.
Undoubtedly there are wives of Ia
bOrers who do not know how to bake.
Too bad for them, their husbands and
children. But is the percentage of
non-bakers greater in that class Of
people than in any other? 1t would
be interesting to have statistics on
that if they could be secured. Many
farmers of Pine county were former
city dwellers-workers at some trade
in the big cities. Their wives know
how to bake and it seems very i'm
probable that those women all learned
to bake just when they set foot on
rural land.

UNFOLDING RIGHTEOUSNESS

(The Mile Laos Messenger)
The constant reiteration of a lie
will in time give it the force of a
truth, and truth, mighty as it is, can
be made stronger by reiteration. We
owe it to our children to impress upon
their youthful minds that the people
who live clean, useful lives are the
best people and in the long run the
happiest people. That virtue, laughed
at, is better than vice, applauded.
That honesty is the best policy, not
not only in conducting our business
affairs, but in our whole relation with
our fellow humans Let US not tell
our young people that Texas Guinan
is more important citizen than Jane
Adams, even if the former does en-
gage the attention of columnists. It
would be better to tell our young peo-
pie just what the gangster, the woman
who marries rich man for the ali
mony she has her eye on and all the
rest of the smart" degenerates really
are and what normal people think of
them.

THE WHITE COLLAR GROUP
(St. Louis County independently


At the recent convention of the
League for Independent Political Ac-
ton in Cleveland, one of the speak
ers, Paul H. Douglas, said the white
collar worker is the largest single
group in America, numbering II mil
lion individuals compared with 16
million workers and II million farm
ers. This group has as great eco
nOmic reason to seek a change as
any other group and must decide
whether to affiliate with the capitalist
group or with the workers and farm
ers"
This white collar group is being
forced to realize the economic pinch
with which the workers and farmers
have had to contend for many years.
and thousands of them are being
forced into the ranks of the unem-
ployed, a situation to which it is hard
to adjust themselves. This group has
been loath to organize, feeling that in
some instances they were a little
above the average worker, but that
difference has now been wiped out by
the depression. All those who toll,

GOVERNMENT MONEY
Mile Laos County Times)

If the United States government is
to go into the money loaning business,
and it is through the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, then it should
permit the small fellow to borrow
money at a low rate of interest as
we'll as the big fellow. But there is
something about this thing of using
government money for the benefit of
private business that does not seem to
fit well into our industrial and politi-
cal system. A few years ago we
would have said it was uncOnstitution-
al to do so. But is seems that big
business is making such things con-
stitutional when it suits their purpose
and they want to get help from the
taxpayers money in the hands of our
government. The question that now
confronts the American people is:
Where is this kind of thing going to
end? The whole situation gives one
sinking feeling in the pit of the
stomach that all is not we'll with our
country.

CAN BE JUDGED BY ITS
OPPOSITION
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOv American:
Geo. N. Briggs, st. Paul publicity
man, says he was hired Is months
ago to fight the state income tax by
waging campaign against the Floyd
B. Olson administration. He brought
suit against Chas. E. Elmquist, st.
Paul attorney. whom he charges with
not paying him up in full for the
work and cost of operations. Mr..
Briggs said he opened quarters at
SIG Hotel Lowry, hired several en-
ployes and started to carry out the
campaign. He says that when he
asked Mr.. Elmquist for money he did
not receive any, but was assured by
w. l. Norton of Minneapolis, and Mr..
Elmquist that he would be paid after
the state Republican indorsing con-
vention. 1t is thought by many that
after quarters had been fitted up, en-
ployes hired and great deal of
money expended, the financial angels
backing up this outrageous proprosi-
ton, evidently agreed that other
methods are to be used to defeat the
Farmer-Labor administration, the in
come tax and legislators who are
fighting for this just, equitable, scien-
tific tax.
Mr.. Norton, we'll known to most of
the readers of this paper, is a long
time boss on the legislature. He is a
man who has a record in the legisla-
ture as an organizer of exceptional
ability but unfortunately generally
found fighting against beneficial leg
islatiOn for the people at large when
it interferes with the profits of the
large street car interests, power trust,
lumber barons, steel corporations, and
such groups.
This powerful group in Minnesota,
knowing we'll they cannot defeat the
income tax by an out and out fight,
are trying to fool the public with a
statement that the income tax con-
stitutional amendment should provide
that any income tax adopted shall be
replacement tax.
Twenty-four states now have in
come tax laws, the federal govern
ment has an income tax now and SO
has practically every European ma
ton. Is there any one of these which
contains this impractical replace
ment?
The income tax amendment has the
support of the Minnesota Farm Blu
reau, Farmers Union, the Minnesota
county auditors, Farmer-Labor party,
Gov. Floyd B. Olson, members of the
Pine county board of commissioners,
County Attorney Michael B. Hurley,
County Auditor Andrew P. Edin, Rep
resentative Hjalmar Petersen, and
many others.
1t has been Endorsed practically
unanimously by the last two county
wide tax meetings in the court house
and the Pine county assessors meet
ing unanimously Endorsed the Floyd
B. Olson income tax program.
Why any opposition to the income
tax amendment?

ing to Time magazine Secretary OF
Labor Doak last spring told news
paper men that employment was in

ing been lied to before, checked up
on him by going to Commissioner
Stewart, who told them that it was
unemployment that was increasing.
Secretary Doak called Stewart on the

Stewart has been fired. 1t doesn't do
