Lindbergh Aids Him.
1t will be recalled from the earlier
days of the Lindbergh baby kidnap-
ing tragedy that Finn Henrik ("Red")
johnson was arrested on suspicion
that he might have something to do
with the crimes. A most thorough
investigation resulted in a complete
exoneration, but also revealed the fact
that he had come to this country
from Norway illegally, and is now a
subject for deportation. Col Lind
bergh has interested himself in his
case, and has taken it up with the
labor department in Washington hop
ing to find some way in which John
son may be permitted to leave the
United States voluntarily; if success
is attained, it means that he may
come back here as a legaliZed immi-
grant whereas compulsory deportation
forever closes the portals of America
to him.

THE EDITORS FRIENDS
Harlan. Iowa. Republican,

The thing that makes it hard for
a person to run a newspaper is his
friends. When a friend thinks some
thing ought to be kept out Of the
paper he doesn't hesitate to ask it as
a personal favor. An enemy doesn't
ask any favOrs. But friend thinks
the conduct of newspaper is the
personal matter of the editor, when
as matter of fact, he is largely in
the position of a man serving a pub
lie trust.
A philosophical old fellow once
said to the writer, "A newspaper that
doesn't make you mad once in a
while isn't worth the subscription
price"
To make people mad isn't the chief
province of a newspaper, but if it's
going to be one worthy of the name,
it must print the news without fear
or favor. This paper has been threat
ened with, and indeed has suffered
business reprisals, not once but fire.
quently. These things must neces-
sarily be borne i'm silence. The great
reading public which a newspaper
serves is not interested in the per-
sOnal difficulties of the editor or
publisher, though we have known in
stances where full airing of threats
and subsequent reprisals would have
made absorbing reading.
But such things must be regarded
as part of the game-to be suffered
perhaps because of sins committed
i'm other directions. -. And then, too,
it must be remembered that all
things, both human and divine, are
subject to criticism. Even the Bible
does not escape.

Mile Laos County Times: There
are five hundred billionaires in the
United States, made rich by our
gambling system of industry, any one
of whom could pay the entire soldiers
bonus and not feel it. Andrew Mel
lon, former secretary of the treasury
and recently appointed ambassador to
England to avoid the possibility of an
embarrassing investigation of the con-
nection of his aluminium company
with governmental affairs, is alone
worth several billions. But the
United States itself is too poor to pay
the soldiers bonus. We have a sys-
tenn that easily makes billionaires but
it can't pay the men who offered their
lives for their country :. People
who believe that the world is liable to
come to a sudden end are always ig-
nOrant of the physical conditions of
the world and the forces that sur
round it as shown by the study of
astronomy. No astronomer takes any
stock in sudden end of the world,
because he finds no evidence that
such thing is at all probable. The
solar system is so nicely balanced
that it comes nearest to perpetual mo-
ton of anything in existence. 1t has
almost reached perfect equilibrium,
but not quite, as evidenced by the
presence of showers of meteors. -.
A lot of publicity is being given to
the fact that the Prince of Wales is

industrial cities of that country. How
ever, it is not believed that the prince
will take up his residence in the poor

Republican papers in Minnesota are

himself of the happiness to which he

to which he is entitled he is unhappy
because his schemes for depriving

CrOck-InduStry Revival.

In former days crooks of special

city a voice in electing three con-
| greSsmen.
1t was bad bill, decidedly unfair
and unrepresentative. Governor Olson
did his duty and vetoed this bill. The
legislature had the chance to either
pass the measure over the governors
veto, Or pass better bill, which it
did not do. Rather, it accepted the
legal judgment of Senator ROckne,
who publicly declared that in his
opinion the governor was without
power to veto a reapportionment bill
and held the bill was already law.
Nothing more was done about the
matter until the U. S. supreme court
decided the bad reapportionment bill
was void.
Old line Republican papers would
now blame Governor Olson for the
whole mess the Republican legisla-
tive machine has made. They charge
he is more interested in Minneapolis
than in the state. Such reactionary
newspapers as the Mankato Free Press
and the Owatonna Chronicle ask if
Floyd Olson is Governor of Mime
apolis." They fear that among nine
congressman elected at large the ma
jority may come from Minneapolis,
and the governor is working to this
end.
| OF course there is nothing to this.
Indeed, it would not be surprising if
Minneapolis failed to put over even
one congressman at the November
election. 1t is certain if the Mime
apolis Republicans should attempt to
hog it in the primary election they
will be punished in the general cleo
ton.
What the Republican papers fear
is not that Minneapolis may have too
many congressman, but that the Re-
publican party will lose too many
seats to the Farmer-LabOr candidates
for congress in an at-large election.
The Mile Laos Messenger: Ancient
writer's tell us of a flood that de-

later One came to tell misguided man
how to live and avoid the evils that

ing with voice that, largely disre-
garded, still echoes down the CORR
doris of time, He gave us, in the few
words of the Golden Rule, formula
for peace and happiness. Many far
seeing men, noting the contempt of
humanity for this formula, fear that
what we call civilization is going
down to destruction. No matter what
high-sounding phrases are used to
explain mans troubles, their root is
in our selfish disregard of the rights
of our fellow men.

Berlin. A shipment is expected
shortly for distribution in this
country.
DR.. Lyman calls his machine
the artificial pacemaker. Its chief
value will be in cases where per-
sons have "died" from shock in
accidents, on the operating table,
in childbirth, or on the battlefield.
DR.. Lyman took his inspiration
directly from the natural heart.
Near the right auricle a series of
cells develops an electric current
of about one-thousandth of a volt,
which gives the heart its regular
ity of beat.
The artificial pacemaker sup
plies this electrical stimulant. A
gold needle is injected into the
right auricle. A generator mott
waited by a spring motor supplies
a steady current, which is broken
up by ~interrupter brushes to cause
the needed series of impulses vital
to the natural contraction and re-
taxation of the heart.
The machine weighs only four
pounds and fits into a box the
size of a cigar box.
