DEMOCRATIC PAPER SEES NEED
FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT

The Missouri Democrat, leading
| Democratic newspaper of the
Show Me state, expresses the same
opinion as the Farmer-LabOr par
ty of Minnesota, in saying that
the imperial and monOpOliStic
| system has about run its course
and that the New Deal arose from
the failure of the rugged indi-
| yidual system. The Democrat
editorial follows:
president Roosevelt very aptly
says that the present economic revO-
luton should, be Invested of the r and
considered as an evolutionary process.
Since the dawn of time the world has
been in transformation, and will con-
tinue to be so until the, crack of doom.
1t is, as Mr.. Roosevelt observes, evo-
luton rather than revolution through
which we are passing.
1.-The New Deal is not new inven-
ton, but the outgrOwth of the failure
of the capitalistic system which has
developed haphazardly in the United
States. Unselfish men are trying to
|
order. Stability is the desideratum
We can not have it unless we consent
to RECOMMENDATION. We are regimented
in most things, but We have run wild
in our business affairs, each fellow
scrambling for himself regardless of
the interests of others.
Lack of order can only be called
confusion, and confusion is wasteful
and harmful. The principle of farm
co-Operatives has been encouraged for
years, but the same principle is be-
ing opposed by industry and by retail
business. Everybody is in agreement
that purchasing power must be
brought up to level which will per-
nit of restored profit in business, but
most of us want the other fellow to
pay the higher wages.
apart from this, however, there
are some things about the New Deal
which admit of no argument. One is
that the so-called brain trusters are
trying some experiments. Another is
that out of the weller of trials that
which proves itself to be sound may
be retained. The time is propitious
to test the theories which are being
applied to our affairs and to learn
at first hand how many of them will
stand up. We may expect the money
grubbers to howl and the mouthy poll
ticians to rave. but the country ex-
poets the Washington administration
to persevere in it's program, keeping
what is good and discarding what is
unavoidable. This is evolution, even
though critics are pleased to call it
revolution. 1t is memorable and must
be so viewed. Finally, what is neces-
sary for the common good will be
achieved"

THAT MILK "SURPLUS"
(St. Paul Pioneer PreSS)

AS far as the health of millions of
children in certain cOngested areas
is concerned there is definitely no
milk surplus. On the contrary there
is a most conspicuous shortage of this
important food when over seven mil
lion children are not getting enough
milk for their health needs.
The New York commissioner of
parks recognizes this grave situation
and is attempting to meet it by a
plan that is we'll worth the study of
many other cities. After June Is
milk and milk only will be the bev-
erage peddled in the city's 100 public
up in sealed ,half-pint cardboard con-
tanners and will sell to the children
for cents each, or three for a dime.
The plan is frankly an attempt to
make New York children drink more
milk. 1t is estimated that the scheme
1000 more gallons of milk a day by
the very children that need it most.
The Bureau of Home Economics at
Washington has said repeatedly that
the American people are not only con-
Stunning less milk than would be best
for them, but that the country is not
even producing enough to supply that
adequate amount fully. There is
hardly a surplus when the nations
children do not have sufficient milk
for simple health needs.

FIRST BIG VICTORY IN 1880

In his keynote speech for the NOM
ination to the office of governor on
the Democratic ticket. Fred Schil-
plin, speaking in his home town of
ST. Cloud last Thursday, said that
the Farmer-Labor party in Mime
sofa rode to victory on the cOattail
of Franklin D. Roosevelt. If our
memory serves us right Roosevelt was
elected president in 1882. Floyd B.
Olson was elected governor on the
Farmer-Labor ticket for the first time
in 193O-just two years before Roose-
welt came up for the presidency. And
in the same year Henry Arens was
also elected lieutenant governor of
Minnesota on the Farmer-Labor
ticket. The third party movement
has not just happened. 1t has been
developing over a period Of years. 1t
is here in spite of other coattails.

LOYALTY TO COUNTRY

The name of Mark Twain is on
the lips of all who have attended
the American public school and
many others. Note the definition
that the late beloved writer gave
with reference to his idea of 10y
atty to ones country:
You see, my kind of loyalty was 10y
atty to ones country, not to lnstltu-
tions or its officeholders. The cOun-
try is the real thing; it is the thing
to watch over and care for and be
loyal to; institutions are eXtraneous'
they are its mere clothing, and cloth
ing can wear out, become ragged
cease to be comfortable, cease to pro
tect the body from winter, disease
and death. To be loyal to rags, to
shout for rags, to worship rags, to
die for rags-that is a loyalty OF un-
reason; it is pure animal; 1t belongs
to monarchy; was invented by mon
archy; let monarchy keep it. l was
| from Connecticut, whose constitution
declared THAT all political power Is
| inherent in the people, and all free
Governments are founded on their au
thority and instituted for their bene
| fit, and that they have at all times
an undeniable and indefensible righ
to alter their form of government IL
such a manner as they think exped
lent" Under that gospel, the either
who thinks that the commemorative
political clothes are worn out am
yet holds his peace and does no
agitate for a new suit, is disloyal; h
is a traitor. That he may be tn
only one who thinks he sees thu
decay does not excuse him; it is nj
duty to agitate, anyway, and 1t 1
the duty of others to vote him dow
if they do not see the matter as n
| does

APPRECIATION
THE Prison FdirrOr)

All of us have at some time used
the word appreciation" But do we
really know what it mans?
Appreciation is just valuation or
proper estimate of worth or merit.
This is only the dictionary definition
of appreciation. If, however, we study
it, that term will mean more to us.
Just to illustrate the true meaning
of appreciation, let us personify it.
Appreciation forgets self, and remem-
bers what others have done, for it.
Appreciation looks around for a place
where seeds of happiness can be sown.
Appreciation urges others on to great
er victory.
Since appreciation means and can
do so much, let us show it, Tell the
whole world about some of the little
things that you appreciate. Tell the
friend who helped you in your hour
of trial and tribulation, how much
you appreciate his help, tell the boys
in the orchestra who play for us at
the picture shows, the baseball play
ers and all others in life who have
helped you in the darkest of hours,
how you appreciate what they have
done for you and yours. After all
we are only human beings, each and
every one has his troubles, we should
try to bear up with each other, give
our fellow man some consideration in
stead of knocking him and extend the
helping hand when the opportunity
presents itself. There are many peo-
pie in this world who appreciate the
good things of life. So as the little
favors are accorded us and our path
is made easier through the helping
hand of some other one, let us re-
member to appreciate everything no
matter how trivial it may be.

ate during eleven sessions in the last
has. l think, made it possible for me
to Judge of a new members qualifica-
tiOns for the arduous and trying task
that he has been called upon to dis
charge. G. Elmer Johnson is a man
of excellent ability and sincerely de-
voted to the common good. Such men
are sorely needed in the Legislature
at this time. Minnesota is suffering
today terribly, because she has not
elected the members of her Legisla-
ture with greater care. l have been
trying in season and out of season, to
make the people understand that the
Legislature is the most important
branch of our state government.
With this in mind, l have done my
best to keep men who have demon
strated their fitness, on the legisla-
tive job.
We sometimes get very much ex-
cited over whom to send to Wash
ington and pay but slight attention to
whom we send to st. Paul, and yet
the job in st. Paul is probably the
more important of the two.
Based upon my contact with Elmer
Johnson in the regular session of
1888 and the special session of 1888
"a, l can say that he is a man of fine
character, good ability and will de-
velop into an invaluable member of
our Legislature. He is thoroughly
prepared, by education and practical
experience, to handle the problems
of the farmer in these troublous times
Elmer Johnson has had practical ex-
perience in the cooperative move
ment, the Importance of which can
not be Over-eStimated.
| sincerely hope that every Pro
gressive in Pine and Chisago counties
will do his utmost to send Elmer
johnson to the State Senate, where
am convinced, he will render a good
account of himself.
