A professor says radio is killing
jazz. Our idea is that it is working
the other way around.
Commodity prices are rising in
Russia, also. Divorces, which were
formerly free, now cost Is cents.
Several successful authors have

We suspected that lot of them

Citizens of all political parties can
but regret that the leadership of the
republican party in Minnesota has
fallen into such incapable hands. If
the Tom Schall idea of the issue in
his campaign is to be the political
strategy of the republican party, then
Tom Schall will drag the republican
party in Minnesota to an inevitable
and disastrous defeat. To inject poll
tics and fan few sparks Of obstrep-
erous fault finding against the re-
covery program of President Roose-
welt in the present temper of the
people of the United States is dam
gerous thing. If Tom Schall can
make that issue stick and place the
republican party in that indefensible
position he will drive all of those
who voted for Roosevelt in the last
election permanently into the demo-
cratic party in Minnesota. With
such an issue the democrats of Min
nesota will win every office in 1886
from postmaster to governor.-St.

This story isn't ours, but neverthe-
less it is a good one:
A farmer had an old blind horse
which had outlived his usefulness.
One day he fell into an old well. The
farmer looked in and saw him stand
ing deep in the water. There seemed
to be no way to get him out, as he
was quite useless, and the well aban-
doned and dangerous, the farmer
ordered his men to fill up the well
and leave the horse buried in it.
The men began to shovel dirt into
the well. But the horse was not will
ing to be buried. When the dirt be-
gan to pour in upon him he began to
shake it off and tread it under foot.
AS the well was filled up the horse
came nearer and nearer to the sur
face, and when the men finished their
task the horse walked out into the
pasture.
The very things which conspire to
bury the lion-hearted these days, are
used by them to lift themselves out
of difficulties and into the light. The
very last thing one should do is to
agree to stay dead and buried

Tuesday, September IL, will mark
a notable baseball anniversary, for
on that date Cornelius McGillicuddy,
universally known as "Connie Mack"
will complete so years in the game.
A half century ago Connie Mack
began his baseball career as ga gang
ling kid catcher" with an East Brook
field, Massachusetts, team. He later
played with clubs in Meriden, Hart
ford, and with Washington team of
the old National league. He was six
years with the Pittsburgh Pirates,
three years as manager. He man.
aged the Milwaukee club four years
and finally settled down with the
Philadelphia Athletics in 1901.
And what a record he has made as
manager of the Athletics! Nine
league pennants and five world cham
pionships. In 1914 his team had be-
come SO superior that he deliberately
broke it up and started to build an
other from new material. He came
back Is years later to win three
American League pennants in a row
and two worlds series.
While Connie Mack always appre-
ciated the ability of his own players,
he comedies that the two greatest
players were not of his team. He
picks Mathewson as the greatest
pitcher, and Ty Cobb as the best all
around player of all time.
