CartOOnist Kettner
Has Artistic AbiLity

A great cartoonist must be a good
artist but good artist may be flat
failure as a cartoonist, for there are
other things more important than
ability as an artist that enter into the
making of a good cartoonist
The really great cartoonist must be a
close student of history and of current
events, and he must have something
under his hat that will enable him to
Judge men and events correctly. He
must have keen sense of humor and
he must have heart in his body as
well as an active brain in his head
There are comparatively few car
toonists who measure up to this
standard and one of them is Magnus
G. Kettner, whose cartoons appear
regularly in this paper.
There are some cartoonists who are
recognized as masters of satire or of
caricature and in whose work there is
usually a sting for some person or for

United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation George F. zook declaring that
neglect of the adult is "a sad COM
mentary."
Considering the annual bill for the
American school system, one might
make an even sadder commentary. In
deed, with more than thousand mum
icipalities and school districts bankrupt
one can almost pardon the educational
system for its gross neglect of the adult
1t used to be that a youngSter went
to school at the age of 6, to high school
at Is, and was content to quit or GO
to college at his parents expense there
after But, thanks to the expensive
proclivitieS of the educational experts
the child today may start in nursery
school, follow up with pre-kinder-
garten class, kindergarten, and then
plunge into the hegira of the higher
learning of first grade.
Again, when high school graduation
day comes, there are ready, Or in the
making, Junior colleges, senior colleges
with postgraduate courses to carry the
student well along into his twenties, at
public expense. After that he will be
eligible for "adult education"
The ultimate outcome would be half
the nation in school and the other half
teaching it. That would be paradise
indeed for the experts.
There's only one hitch. Educational
fads change so often and so drastically
that man, having been educated clear
to the mortician's doorsteps. might find
too late, that he should have taken
theosophy instead of higher mathema-
tics and chewed tobacco instead OF

and in every neighboring community
have been monopolized by the various
candidates for Office for round after
round of political and pseudo-social
use.
There never was time in the history
of the range when competition for
public Office was as keen as this year.
This was apparent in the large number
of filings which preceded the hectic
primary of last Monday, when casual
ties reduced those remaining in the
various races to a small part of those
who hopefully contended. Some day
the general citizenship is not going to
be unduly swayed by Glamour and TOM
tom beating and bowery dances patron
lied largely by boys and girls who ought
to be home in bed. Some day, too, the
very manner in which man or woman
may campaign for Office will be so cir
cumscribed that seeking public place
will be lifted to a higher level of dignity
and fairness.
For the candidate who just cannot
stoop to certain methods of vote APP
peal, there isn't much chance of sue
cess in the race for an Office of more
than purely local significance. Against
the seeming popularity of clowning,
parties, booze, moon and jass, as well
as organized combinations of those who
expect to control jobs and patronage,
the candidate who thinks merit and
fitness ought to go along with in
tegrity and understanding too often
makes a sorry showing.

Mile Laos TimeS:-The situation re-
garding the sale of Intoxicating liquor
has become such in Minnesota that
even one of the chief promoters of wet
legislation in the last session of the
legislature has come out against the
law that was enacted, and demands a
sweeping change" This leader is
Senator HauSler, who was not only a
wet leader but was co-author of the
same liquor law which he is denouncing.
The senator in an interview in the
Minneapolis Tribune last Wednesday
made the following statement.
1.-The present state liquor control law
is nothing but sham and hypocracy.
We thought honestly that we were
solving the liquor question when we
passed this law. 1t now appears that
all we did was to throw lot of words
together that provide no effective regu-
lation. Places are run in open violation
of the law and there is no restriction
of sales. Minors, boys and girls, are
becoming habitual frequenters Of all
the clubs and taverns that sell liquor,
and it is making drunkards out of the
young people.
"And besides nine tenths of the liquor
sold is nothing but the worst kind of
junk. ALI that is needed to comply with
the straight whiskey description is some
cheap alcohol with a little coloring.
Whiskey that costs but cents quart
to bottle and label is being sold at
fancy prices. The public is fooled by
nice labels and handsome bottles. This
applies to practically all liquors.
unless the next legislature acts to
make the law sensible and provides
rigid restrictions on sales of liquor, and
gives the liquor commissioner power to
act against violators of the law, I shall
vote to repeal the whole works and be-
come a militant dry"
