from anything like that and only
leaves a black spot there.
l have Travelled over Pine county
considerably in the last few days and
know the situation we farmers are
in and what the Holiday members
have to contend with. And l want to
say right here that the parties who
are spreading the talk around that
and Joseph Hampeys and Anton Shir
are in fault of the strike are badly
mistaken. l would advise them to
keep their mouths shut and any per-
son with good common sense knows
that one or two persons can not start
a strike. This order for the strike
comes frCm the national headquarters
of the Farmers Holiday Association
and l want to say we have no apollo
gies to make on the stand we took.
We are fighting for our neighbOrs as
we'll as ourselves, and believe that
the Farmers Holiday Association Of
Pine county has dramatized itself and
what it's fighting for, and that is not
a small organization. as some people
think, but big one when it comes to
a showdown. To further educate the
people that the Farmers Holiday As
ISOLATION stands for, we say its men,
bers are peaceful American citizens

theirs. 1t is high time for us all to
do something to better the conditions
for ourselves. When the women of
the rural districts are taking the front
line in fighting for their rights, as did
Mrs. Theresa Michalec, widow on
the farm, she has taken military
step and action against this poverty
that is facing us squarely in the face.
She's on the picketing line too, fight
ing for her rights. She lost her hus-
band some years ago with two small
children on her hands to take care
of, but she did not go for county aid.
to which she had a perfect right as a
widow with two children, and as did
some Of the parties who did take
county aid, and are now making oppo-
sitiOn against the strike and scabbing.
But she has worked her way through
to the present time.
My intention of writing this letter
is not to start any trouble, but to
show what attitude some people take
toward those who help to feed them
through the county aid. 1 hope l have
outlined some information that will
be of some good, and that it may help
the cause and better conditions and
have an understanding between our
selves.
Here is hoping for better times to
come in the near future.

| VICTORY FOR CIVIC DECENCY
(St, Paul Daily NeWs)

(St. Paul Daily News)
Success of Fiorello H. LaGuardia
and his fushion ticket in the New York
municipal elections should please ev-
erybody in the United States but par
ty partisans and grafters.
The fighting former representative
won with handsome plurality over
the window-dressed anti-Tammany
candidate, Joseph V. Mckee, and the
outright Tammany candidate, Mayor
John P. O'Brien. What is more he
carried with him the important board
of estimate.
Incidentally the outcome of the
election is rebuke at Postmaster
General Farley for attempting to
NEEDLE in a local election and build
up party fences.
The new mayor will have his hands
full and he may prove to be a disap-
pointment to many who hold high
hopes of badly needed house clean
ing. He takes office at most diff
cult period and it is hard to sustain
the enthusiasm of supporters when
the time comes to work without the
cheers of the crowd.
But the victory in itself is encour-
aging evidence of the vitality of pub
lie opinion. Some good will be &C
complished and lot of special favors
and graft will be shut off.
Most of all it is heartening evidence
of the power Of the people to throw
out organized gangs of political profit
GERS once they set their minds to it.

WHERE INHERITANCE WAS
A CURSE

Another recent example Of the
harm caused by millions Of dollars
in the hands of one individual or
his family, and especially when in
herited, is that Of e. B. Med" Nc
Lean, Washington and Cincinnati
multimillionaire.
The sordid life of this person draws
to one Of its final episodes with a
Washington jury finding Mclean in
sane. The son of the late owner of
the Cincinnati Inquirer and the
Washington Post, Mclean was enor-
mously wealthy. The Mclean and
Walsh fortunes were joined through
marriage. Mclean bought his bride
the famous Hope diamond, and they
lived lavishly in Washington. Booze
and women started Mclean on the

ANOTHER HUNTER BEFORE
SEASON
Editor AskOv American:

Editor Askov American:
Miss Lydia Gross, you must be mis-
taken or misinformed as do not know
you or your father, unless you mean
Mr.. JuraSh.
The reason l and Mr.. Percy came
into the place is that Mr.. Wahlstrom
was there and the other parties were
not invited to our conversation but it
seems that they were not themselves
just then. l never stepped on any
ones toes, nor l will not allow any
one else; if they do, it will be just
too bad. l am citizen of the United
States and l would advise MIR. Jurash
to be the same.

downward path and now he ends in
an insane asylum.
If a man starts from the bottom
and acquires millions he seldom ends
up like Mclean for he is kept busy
enlarging and taking care of his vast
interests. This keeps him out of mis-
chief but on the other hand it usually
also keeps him interested only in ac-
quiring more money. The highest
and most stingy man is the fellow
who starts with nothing.
A fellow like Mclean is his own
worst enemy. Born into wealth he
had not learned to know the value
of a dollar, having never had to both
err about acquiring money for his
own use or need. You can hear some
folks say, well he spent the money
and put it into circulation True,
he did put much money into circula-
ton, but instead of having one man
with a few of his friends squander
millions, would it not be better that
hundreds of needy families spent it
for bare necessities? That would
also put the money into circulation
and serve a worthy and humane pur-
pose.
The Mclean behavior serves as an
other outstanding example for the
need of strong inheritance taxation.
The boys and girls who inherit mil
lions do not appreciate it. often do
not comprehend it, and if they do
not go to pieces in the midst of the
wealth very often the grandchildren
of the money car can not stand the
prosperity"

AN ARMISTICE

The Armistice was signed Is years
ago to end the firing and the slaugh-
ter of the great World war. 1t was a
happy day for all. Sullen gloom of
war was cast aside in that fleeting
moment and the future was bright.
But today in our nation, alone. mil
lions are in want; millions are walk
ing the streets locking for work; and
some of those millions were repre-
scented in the ranks of the United
States army in France Is years ago.
1t doesn't seem right to think that
the war was supposed to have been
fought that democracy might be
saved for the world and then have
hungry people walking the streets
not properly fed and clothed while
there is supposed to be surplus of
these products. Something is wrong
about the system and it must be
solved.
Those charged with the conduct of
our government must think of the
boys that came home from the front
Is years ago determined to put their
shoulders to the wheels of progress to
pull away from the possibility of an
other war and make the world an
utopia for the masses. While they
are thinking of this picture then they
should also think of the one where
some of these same soldiers and 9th
ers Of the common masses are asking
for bread and it cannot be given them
because something is the matter with
the marketing system of the country
which has beaten down their efforts
at a livelihood.
When those who want work and
those who need food and clothing get
all this, then and then only will the
price that our young men paid on the
battlefields be equalled.

When l was in Cloquet last week

some that the relief had to help who
were big able men who always work
in the woods, but since they got help
from the relief they depend on that to
support their family and will net go
to work. Why doesn't the relief stop
helping such men and make them sup

They want anyone who wants work

State Capitol News
By A. l. HARRIS

Most everybody is agreed that the
telephone system in the Capitol is
slow, inefficient and costly. The last
Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
a state-owned automatic system.
which, it is estimated, will save the
taxpayers at least $4,000 year as
we'll as render better service. When
it came to open bids, the bids were
conspicuous by their absence. There
are only two companies in America
that install automatic systems. Why
were no bids submitted? Governor
Olson has instituted an inquiry to find
the answer. He strongly suspects
'monopolistic interference" with an
effort at state-owned system.

NEW YORK, May 31.-Smashing
forward with the seasons most i'm
preSsive winning drive, the st.
Louis Cardinals today were within
just half game behind Pittsburgh,
National League leader.
Paced by Pepper Martin, Gabby
Streets Red Birds have clicked off
eleven victories in their last twelve
starts, outbatting their opponents
1870 hits to ia, and scoring 81 runs
against the oppoSition's 81
They have won three out Of four
extra-inning games, dropping one
ten-frame dispute to Boston.
Martin at third base has been
leading the National circuit bats
men, and frankie Frisch at second
has come through handsomely. Leo
Durocher plugged the gap at short,
and the excellent mound staff is
functioning well. If owners Breadon
and Hickey succeed in weaving Don
Hurst away from the Phils, it'll be a
tough summer for Pittsburgh and
New York.
The Cards advanced Tuesday by
taking two close games from Gin
cinnati, to 4, and to 2. Tex
Carleton pitched his sixth victory
in seven starts in the opener. Mar
tins double in the eighth drove in
the winning run. In the nightcap,
the Cards took advantage of an
error by MorriSey to score two runs
in the seventh for victory. The
Reds dropped to fifth place.
Pittsburgh divided twin bill
with Chicago, the Pirates winning
the first, 2 to l, when Paul Waner
made homer in the eighth frame.
Chicago took the second game, 6
to 2, with Pat Malone shining on
the slab and Jerges leading the at
tack.
New York and Brooklyn split two
games, the Giants taking the
opener. 2 to l, through home runs
by Bill Terry and Byrne James
after Tony Cuccinello made one for
Brooklyn. Tony made another for
the Dodgers with mate aboard in
the sixth frame of the nightcap for
3-to-1 Brooklyn triumph.
Philadelphia downed Boston, to
/, in a game called in the seventh
because of rain, which prevented
playing the second game. The Phils
punched four singles off Seibold in
the fifth for their two tallies.

Cardinals Within Half Game of
n. L. Lead, Dropping Reds Twice

In the American League, New
York heightened it's lead by beat
ing Washington, to 2, after an
other battle between the two clubs
almost resulted from a dispute over
whether Lou Gehrig's tenth homer
of the season in the eighth inning
was fair or foul. Manager Joe
Cronin will protest the decision
calling it fair. The scheduled Sec
ond game was washed out.
Van Alta was the mound winner
over Whitehill.
Philadelphia beat Boston, 7 to 8
and II to 8. The second game ran
twelve innings. The AS pounded
George Pipgras for ten hits in the
opener. Outlit 20 to Is by the Sox
in the nightcap, the Athletics
combined three walks, a sacrifice
and two singles for three runs in
the twelfth.
For the seventh time in nine

games, Lefty Grove served in a re-
lief role for the AS. He worked
four innings of the opener and got
credit for the win. He worked two
frames in the nightcap, but de-
parted for pinch hitter.
Detroit took one game from St
Louis, 8 to 6, but lost the second,
3 to l. A tWo-run rally in the
eighth gave the Tigers the opener,
aided by three St. Louis errors. AL
though outhit, 8 to 5, in the sec
ond contest, the Browns punched
their safeties more effectively.
Chicago and Cleveland also split
a twin bill, the White Sox taking
the starter, 7 to 2, but dropping the
sleeper. Is to s. Ed Durham limited
the Indians to five hits in the first,
but they came back in the night
cap to pound six Chisox fingers for
tWenty-three hits.

&C. v. Whitneys the Darb won the
fifty-eighth running of The Withers
stakes Tuesday, enriching his own
er to the extent of $20,550 by
trouncing nine other 3-year-olds at
mile route. Joseph E. Widener's
Golden Way was second and Willis
Sharpe Kilmer's Dark Winter beat
Lee Rosenberg's Kerry Patch for
third honors.
Rated close to the early pace, The
Darb took the lead when De Valera
retired at the stretch turn and at
the finish had a margin of two
lengths. He ran the mile over a
sloppy track in 1:39 and paid 8 to
in the betting.
Golden Way, we'll back for six fur
longs, responded gamely when Mack
Garner went to the whip in the
stretch and got up in the final
strides to head Dark Winter. The
latter moved up menacingly at the
final turn, but yielded when Golden
Way challenged.
