RED PLATFORM IN MINNESOTA

A Red platform, in the strictest sense has just
been adopted by the Farmer-Labor party of Mill
nesota, the dominant party in that state, and this
may turn out to have more than passing signlh-
canoe. For in addition to declaring that "immedi-
ate steps should be taken by the people to abolish
capitalism" the convention of the party dominat-
ed by Governor Olsen, went on record in favor OF
organizing a national Farmer-Labor party. Cover
nor Olsen received larger vote than the Repub-
lican and Democratic candidates received together
two years ago, though the Farmer-Laborltes voted
for Roosevelt for president, and the party has one
United States senator and several congressman.
Olsen is represented as a shrewd politician, and
the circumstance that he supported such revolu-
tionary platform is taken to mean that he expects
to see strong demand for more socialism than
the Roosevelt administration will be willing to
grant. The platform is regarded Olsen's bid for
national recognition as the leader of radical opn-
ion. This platform makes the following declara-
tion: "We declare that capitalism has failed and
immediate steps must be taken by the people to
abolish capitalism in a peaceful and lawful man.
ner and that new sane and just society must be
established; a system where all the natural re-
sources, machinery of production, transportation
and communication shall be owned by the govern
ment and operated democraticaly for the benefit
of all the people and not for the benefit of the
few. This action: of the Farmer-Labor party is
expected to have the immediate effect of bringing
about a fusion of the Democratic and Republican
parties in Minnesota so that the party division in
the state would become that of socialism versus
capitalism If the movement should spread to
other states and national party arise, the ten
dency toward a similar division in the country as
a whole would become very strong Indeed, it
might become so strong during the next two years
as to leave no room for middle ground.-Texas

A BAR BY ANY OTHER NAME

During the fight on the 18th Amendment vets
frequently declared themselves against the return
of the saloon In line with this sentiment the new
Illinois liquor law does its part by declaring that
the words saloon" and "bar' must not be used,
which has meant much seurrying to dictionaries.
Chicago hotels intending to profit as much as pos
sible by the new deal in beverage consumption,
are all equipped with fine new names for what are
in fact their bar rooms. We have 1T the author

tiers have vanished and the only place where a
livelihood and real Independence is obtainable, is
on the farm. Not the kind of farms that we have
seen in the past, with one crop systems and the
people paying tribute to cotton and cotton alone
but the sort of self-contained farms where every
thing needed for family is produced out of the
soil.
There may not be so much wealth in such a
plan, but there is prospects of living, stability
and much happiness. The real problem confront
ing US, is how shall the "stake' be provided for
those who would welcome an opportunity to get
back to the soil?
Since January, 1892 the city of Columbus, Ga,
has placed 1913 families unoccuped farms,

THE BANKHEAD BILL.

Agreement has been reached between the con-
ferees of the House and the Senate on their diff
ferences over the Bankhead bill. At this writing
the report of the conferees had not been puOished
but it is known that the tax on ginning has been
restored to the House rate of so per cent of mar
ket value, and that the Senate amendment which
would have permitted every cotton producer to
gin minimum of six bales free of tax has been
eliminated In its final form, the measure is said
to be satisfactory to its original proponents. 1t

determines by law who shall grow cotton and how

Three empty houses stood in a

thieves could remove their plund-

caught and charged through En-

having robbed of fixtures the
third house in which they had
stored their loot, but which you
recall, had not been stripped of

turned them loose.

HOW NOT TO DEVELOP GOOD
POSTURE

"Head erect, chin held in, chest
I'D. abdomen retraced, hips flat,
legs straight, knees as close to-
gether as the conformation of
the man will permit, feet paral-
lel," or something like that, was
what we were taught Is years ago,
as the position of the soldier"
Remember it, buddy,-you with
the sloping shoulders and the
business mans bay-window and
the prominent shoulder blades,
that spent some months with me
in old Camp Wadsworth, the win
ter of the big cold? 1t VS. the
army method of teaching posture ;
but to Judge from your posture
and mine, it couldn't have been
universally successful.
Another way not to teach pos
ture to boy or girl. is the "tell-
ing 'em to sit or stand straight"
method,-than which l know
nothing better calculated to fost-
er hatred on the part of the adj
vised toward the advisor. l speak
advisedly,-for 1 have been at
different times on both ends of
the line.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
QUESTION: Dear DR.. Richard
son: My children are nervous and
irritable and have several bad
habits; but l know the blame lies
wholly with me: for / am not a
rood mother. Ever since I mar
ricd l have had to work, leaving
them in the care of servants. My
hours are eight to six; so you
see l don't have much time in
which to be good mother. My
husband has been out of work (;
and | am now leaving the chill
dren with a neighbor.
ANSWER: ! should certainly
get over the idea that l had not
been a good mother, if l were in
your place. To be sure, you
have not been with the children
as much as you would like to
have been; but I should put that
on the credit side OF the ledger,
for they certainly had to be sup
ported. Running yourself down
is a poor way to encourage your
self for this tough job of parent
hood. If you do your best in
the few hours YOU have to de-
vote to the children. you may &C
complish a better job than 9TH
ers with "a hours of the day to
devote. Motherhood is qualita-
tive, not uuantitative.
QUESTION: How can l know
how much food to give a two
year-old baby?
ANSWER: By letting him show
you, as he will do if you will per-
NIT him. He will never overeat,
if you feed him only the right
sort of food.

AIM OF NEW DEAL"

The end-aim of the New Deal it seems, is ra-
Their to rationahze and stabilize business than to
bring about another new peak of prosperity which
woald be followed in due time by another gigantic
crash, which it knows not how to avert. Theoret-
cally this is splendid but the whole plan as pro-
jected so hamstrings liberty, freedom and indi-
vidual Initiatives as to instl fear and subserviency
rather than restore the pluck and determination
which have made this nation great. Give freedom
to the economic and social energies Of the people,
the spirit Of man would quickly rise again and
give an unprecedented impetus to the natural
forces now working for recovery throughout the
world but freedom as visualized by the physic-
cratic proponents of laissez faire is anathema to
the proponents of the New Deal.-Theodore Price,
editor of Commerce and Finance.
