A NEWSPAPER GUY WITH A VISION
(Thief River Falls Times)

Writing this part of the column this week before
election, enables to make a few general observa-
know for one thing that the results not going to
be entirely satisfactory to In this respect
in about the position every other voter.
Few voters will be satisfied with all the winners We,
along with all other voters, will have to adjust
selves in many instances to the wishes of majority
with whom we do not agree. The sooner this adjust
ment is made and the sooner the bitterness of the
election is forgotten the better it will be for all
cerned. We stockholders in the big business of gov
eminent, have selected group of officers to
duct for the affairs of that business for definite
period of time Those officers, old,
titled to the cooperation of all citizens during their
term of office. Whether we like them don't like
them, let's give them fair chance to do good job
of the job we have elected them to do.
Let's not expect the impossible of those officers
who ever they may be or whatever political party
they may represent. Government plays an important
part in our individual lives. But it is only one of
several important factors that enter into the prob
lens of human happiness. Even good government
cannot protect individual from his folly
Even government cannot force upon individual
such cardinal virtues industry thrift and temper
Let's quit crying about past mistakes and mis-
fortunes. A great deal more will be accomplished if
apply ourselves vigorously to solving present prob
lens and laying future plans.
Debts contracted on the basis of fifty cent but
terfat heavy burden to the twenty cent butter
fat pocketbook That chapter of the story has been
written and is a part of the past. Let's remember
that in all probability debts contracted today the
basis of twenty cent butterfat few years from
now. That is part of the future and that part of
the story is hopeful. This is period of adjustment
AS long these other adjustments forced upon
us, let's voluntarily adjust metal attitude to the
possibilities of the future. Every depression has
ended This will end too Every depression has
been followed by of rising prices and pros
perity. This will be too. Let's brush away the
cobwebs, clean house and get SGT for season of
sunshine. 1t really is a lot of fun to be hopeful
BY the time this is printed another election will
be "out and over" The election may solve some of
problems. But most of our problems will remain
with whichever way the election goes. They are
problems and it will be up to to solve them.
We can scold away from now until the crack of
doom, sing hymns of hate and say mean
things about imaginary enemies but most of our
problems will still be with and they will be solved
only when solve them. So let's take off
gloves, pull the old belt up little tighter and face
the facts they In a hundred years we will
all be dead. If want relief will have to bestir
ourselves.

BEVERLY HILLS - Well all I
papers, and we will all be so dog
gone glad to be able to read some
thing in the papers from now on.
I'll bet there was more useless ink
wasted on this dog fight that just
ended than there was on the same
length of time in the war.
Now honest did you ever read,
hear or see as much bunk and ap-
plesauce piled into one campaighn?
There wasent any more truth in
over one half of what any cam
paign so called "Orator" said. If it
wasent a Deliberate Lie" why it
was an Exaggerated Falsehool."
I remember one time out in Hig-
gings, Texas, there was admirable
Gentleman" worked out on the
BOX T" Ranch for the Doyle's.
This was in the Winter of SO. Il
forget who run that year, but I
guess it was Bryan, he was the
only name the Democrats could
pronounce along during that gen.
eration.) I had been temporarily
incarcerated in a military institu-
ton at Boonville, Missouri. The
warden was a mighty fine old
gentleman named Thomas John
ston. in fact he is still living and
occupies the same position and has
once enlarged his place till its one
of the outstanding penal servitudes
for Academic learning in the whole
middle West, and receives inmates
from almost every quarter of the
Literary Digest Pole.
Having never worked cattle in
the Great Lone Star State of Texas
why Billy Johnson of Canadina,
Texas, cell mate of mine at the
time, advised me to go to Higgins,
Texas. Gust got word the other
day that Billy had passed away.
Too bad, fine fellow. Well Billy
told me to go to Frank Ewing's
Ranch at Higgins, and he would
give me some employment, as maid
Of all work to group of Texas
Heifers. All this is just to tell you
how I got to Higgins, for Higgins
is town that you have to explain
why and how you got there.
Well the BOX T Lad" (thats this
sturdy old citizen that worked for
EN- out there and had for genera
tions) well the Box T lad had come
in for Ranch provisions, driving
four awful good mules and had
brought pillow in to get it fixed to
plow up Garden patch at the
Ranch on his return. You know in
90 volstead was still blowing corn

I'D in his home State. In fact he is
right back where he started and
blowing the same corn, so there
was a good cheer in a Town in
those days. The Box T Lad got full
as a goat during the latter end of
the evening, after all the others
were under the table for the night,
he went to the feed yard andbythe
assistance of the mules themselves
got the harness on EN-, hitched EN-
to the plow and in the dead of late
night proceeded to pillow up the
street of Higgins. the Main Street,
the side streets, the cross streets,
which in those days were all mer-
fed into one, if you plowed up the
Main Street you practically had
the town turned over. 1t wasent a
long street but it had width. 1t was
built for traffic, so a fourmule team
pulling a trailer wagon could turn
with ease. Next morning when the
folks got up and found their Main
Stem thoroughly turned over, sus-
picion gradually drifted to 1.-THE
Lad" And between eye openers he
remarked, IT thought would pillow
her up and sow her in grass, she
wasent much good to anybody like
she was"
Some of the other remarks and
slogans of the various speakers
God knows where they originated,
but wherever they originated they
will die at the same place, for
none of EN- will live. The last
campaign brought in religion. This
one replaced it with fear. This time
they tried to scare you into voting
a certain way.
It takes a great country to stand
a thing like that hitting it every
four years. When you figure that
you have system where you make
business stand still and people go
nutty for three months every four
years, why somebody who concoct-
ed the idea of elections certainly
figured out devastating scheme.

What starts out to be a nice fight
winds up in a street brawl. But it
all comes under the heading Of

its the best scheme we can think

cient numbers voted for Shoemaker to place
him seventh in the favorite nine elected
Early in the campaign Shoemaker stood
on the streets of this city and wantonly vii
lifted and lied about the President of the
United States
He is blusterer and the Herald editor
believes four fusher. But-the electorate
of this great state wanted him for one of
their representatives.
The purists are nauseated at the thought
that Shoemaker may represent this state in
Congress. They will appeal to the Courts,
by heck, to stop him.
Goodness, gracious che is felon," so
they insist.
They even charge that he cast his vote
on election day in his home precinct.
The Herald does not hold that Mr.. Shoe
maker is felon in fact. A thin skinned Fed
eral Judge sent him to Leavenworth for con-
tempt of court-of this particular judges
court.
1t appears that Shoemaker took this
Judge to task in his newspaper for decision
he had rendered in which he, Shoemaker,
was particularly interested.
The fact is that after Shoemaker had
served portion of his term he was quite
suddenly released from prison.
He says he was clicked out of Leaven-
worth because he had learned too much
about the rotteness of the institution" The
Herald wonders if some one didn't wake up
to the fact that the Judge sentencing him
hadn't allowed his temper to rule his better
judgment.
In 1918 James Peterson, former county
attorney of Hennepin was sentenced to Fed
eral prison for seditious utterances. After
his release from the penitentiary Peterson
sought to file as a candidate for United States
Senator. A taxpayer started mandamus
proceedings against the secretary of state
to prevent him accepting the filing. The
proceedings were promptly dismissed by the
state supreme court in the following Ian
guage:
1.-The office of United States senator is
federal office, it's qualifications prescribed by
the federal constitution. The state has
power to enlarge modify those qualifca-
tions, and any state attempt to prescribe re-
strictions as to suffrage are not applicable.
Peterson is not disqualified under provisions
of the federal constitution"
Under the head Liberty of the Press"
Sec. 3, of the Constitution of Minnesota
says:
The liberty of the press shall forever
main invioate, and all persons may freely
speak, write publish their sentiments
all subjects, being responsible for the abuse
of such rights.
If formal attempt is made to enjoin
Mr.. Shoemaker from taking the seat to which
he was elected, watch the magazines and
larger metropolitan papers fly to his rescue in
no uncertain. terms.
In moment of weakness the Minnesota
legislature passed gag" law few years
ago to eliminate Matchmaking sheet in
Minneapolis. The sheet was disgrace to
journalism, but the principle of having the
utterances of newspaper or other PERIOD
cal bridled brought serious criticism on the
legislature.
The supreme court declared the law I'M
constitutional.
Mr.. Shoemaker will not cut any ice n
Congress. He may below a lot but his
colleagues will soon size him up for what he
is: A four flushing demagogue.
But-he will retain his seat to the end
of his term.
