What Others Think


The people of this country must realize today, if
they have not heretofore that the welfare of all the
people is superior to the welfare of any group that

Observers claim to see in Roosevelts appointment
of few republicans to office politics" and in his
dorsement of republican United States senator who
comes up for reelection in California few months
hence "more politics." Maybe that's what it is, but
at any rate it isn't half so bad in estimation
the appointment of merely because they belong
to the party in power regardless of qualifications So
long differ in their beliefs and opinions political
parties of kind other will exist, but there is
no reason for putting party loyalty above common
sense.-Sleepy Eye Herald Dispatch.
Well, Sankey bumped himself off, He did what
some states do not have the good to do. He
made it impossible for maudn pardon boards to again
turn him loose society. He made it impossible for
high pressure attorney him loose because
in laundering tones he had impressed the jury that
they must find the defendant guilty "beyond
able doubt"
There have been instances in time past, where
bad men who put in prison for life,' managed
to get out either through legal hocuspocus by Jail
break and who later took innocent lives committed
other depredatons against society.
But Sankey has crossed the Great Dvide-or shall
we say, the "last divide" 1t was not the kind of
"divide" that criminals usually seek, but effective
nevertheless.
What Sankey's last thoughts? Was he more
afraid of mans court than the final bar of Justice

habeas corpus unknown?

The newer generation is partly young in age but it
contains many who ripe with years. If it to be
distinguished by adjective may be termed the in
dignant generation
Its Indignation is directed at leadership which
proved either false to its trust incompetent It is
directed against PHILOSOPHERS that have been found
hollow.
The indignant generation has observed, for ex-
ample, that many of the same bankers who are now
expressing such deep the national none
tary policy have yet remained silent at the revela
lions of profteering by Of the who yester-
day their leaders.
The indignant generation is that the same
economists who seek to alarm the wage Garner by
pattudes forget the pattudes they uttered soohe
and dsarm the people in the hell for leather period of
| the fraudulent boom.
The indignant generation notes that the same
politicians to whose lips readily the cheap
phrases of the soapbox orator attacking Pres-
dent whose every public utterance from the day of his
Inauguration, has been free of demagogc words or
| political claptrap.
The indignant generation is impatient with fuss
budget judges technicaty lawyers pandering journal
lists, venal offceholders, boss ridden politicians dod
dering diplomats. 1t is through with group whose
history has been attempt to the for
the benefit of the few with the crumbs dropping down
to the many. 1t won't have leadership silent and
inactive and incompetent in times of stress but vocif
and blatant when the strain begins to It is
through with formulas that work only when every
thing is going well.
The indignant generation is considerable part of
todays body polite. It is courageously and confident
ly bent reconstructing way Of life in which men
may find work, live in reasonable comfort, and be
happy. If it destroys few pet illusions in the pro-
cess, so much the better-World Herald. Omaha, Neb.
