Fine Minstrel ShOU,

The members of the St. Andrews Clut
entertained a large crowd at the clut
rooms in the Presbyterian church Fri
day evening with finely arranged
and we'll given minstrel show-end mer
an everything.
The evening opened with an over
ture by the Prof. DiNino Orchestra Of
High School musicians followed by q
black face minstrel performance of the
old time excellence. Ernest H. Amber
son acted as interlocutor and was the
guiding spirit in keeping the end men
Wilson Carlson, Ray Reigei. Ed. C.
Bolitho and Jake Schmid, busy with
their quips and puns.
The array of talent comprised
twenty-five members of the club and
presented very novel appearance in
their natty suits and white kid gloves
Interlocutor Anderson introduced each
and every one of the half circle and
progressed admirably until nearly the
last when he espied Ernest Hanson in
his typical Swedish makeup, toothless
and redheaded.
Ole told how he happened to be there
and brought down the house with his
story and the tales that followed. In
dialect, of which Hanson is master
he told of straying into the hall fol-
lowing the crowd and in looking around
he saw nothing but SwedeS and Pres
byterians and I went up and joined
the niggers."
Bill Schmid played a trumpet solo
nicely and the Presbyterian quartet
composed of Cecil Nichols, M. W.
Peterson, Sig Olson and Wilson Carl
son, sang several very well given and
selected numbers. The clarinet trio
composed of Frank Laing, David King
and Dewitt Englund, played several
novelty selections and Sig Olson gave
recitations. Mrs E. w. Hanson played
the accompaniment for the singers.
The program occupied an hour and
ia half and was filled to the full with
entertainment which kept the large
audience roaring with laughter. 1t is
understood that the troupe has been
requested to go to Tower and give the
performance for the benefit OF the
church in that city.

On This
Occasion
Just q few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial.

Comments on the platform
adopted at the Farmer-Labor
convention two weeks ago in
the newspapers of the state are
almost unanimous in declaring
the same as radically red. This
opinion is not only held by
papers of the old party affiliates
but also by some of the FL.
organs with heavy Socialistic
tendencies. The bone of con-
tention in the platform is the
broad assertion that "all the
national resources, machinery
of production, transportation
and communication shall be
owned by the government and
operated democratically for the
benefit of all the people," The
governor in his keynote address
was very emphatic in stating
that 1--WE do not care to be
placed under a capitalistic die
tatorship." He was right.
Neither do we want a Socialis-
tic dictatorship or any other
kind of dictatorship. Let's go
back to the old time democracy
of government.
Those papers which have not
at once jumped on to the band
wagon and espOused the cause
of confiscation of private in
dustry as indicated in the
adopted platform, became the
target for paper-wads shot by
FL. sheets and were ridiculed
as 'reactionaries," kept press"
and tools of big business
whatever that may mean in
this area of "brokeness" which
prevails among the newspapers
as we'll as other industries of
the land. If it is ''reactionary"
to protest against a bunch of
soap-boxers coming along and
confiscating a business repre-
senting a life's work, we'll, we
are a 'reactionary" and do not
propose to sit idly by and see
it done.
At that, it may be as we'll to
have the state and it's FL.
management, take things over
and confiscate all you own. A
few more years of such man.
agement as has characterized
Minnesota in the past few
years, taxation will have eaten
us up and the sheriff will step
in and get what's left to pay
kited salaries for an army of
state employees whose principal
duty seems to issue pro-
paganda eXalting the powers
that-be.
However, right here, we will
say that in the platform of
confiscation and radicalism
adopted at the convention some
one with an eye to decency,
probably some old-party be-
liever) slipped in a few planks
that are good. One of these
is the plank against the issu-
ance of tax-eXempt securities !;
for reforestation; the st. Law
renee Waterway, and the cleo
ton of candidates to the state
legislature with party desig-
nation. How these got in is a
question hard to answer and
we fully believe that, consider
ing the endorsement of the
Wagner bill; confiscation of in
dustry and several other blood
red planks, the convention was
hypnotized and many did not
know what they were voting
for.
Honors bestowed on j. H.

A CHAMPION sPELLER

VIGOROUSLY poor spoilers as most
Americans are, once in while there is
found one who can really SPELL And such
a one is 12-year-old Courtney B. Lawson,
of Chautauqua, N. Y, state spelling
champion.
In the contest in which he won his
title by spelling $50 words of unusual diff
ficulty without miss. the first three places
went to boys. which is unusual. Girls
generally rank higher than boys as SPELL
ers. unless. as a cynic remarks, they hap
pen to be stenographers.
Anyway, here are a few of the $50
words which young Lawson negotiated sue
cessfully:
Auxiliary, equinoctial. shellac, sue
cinct. perennial, liquefy. scrupulous, infall-
ible. silhouette. eonvalescent. repellent,
macaroon, tyrannical, personnel, ennoble,
malefactor. panacea, rhinocerous. leopard
ize. portiere.
We haven't the complete list. but as
sumo that such old favorites as Britannica,
parallel and battalion were not omitted.
Hats off to Courtney B. Lawson! He
may be a great proofreader some day.

MODERN RoBBER BARoNs

Five years ago millionaires. financial
wizards, industrial giants, patrons of art,
benefactors of society, patron saints of
their community, builders and creators of
rupts, fugitives from justice, indicted for
defrauding the very persons they pretend
ed to befriend and deposed rulers by force
of sharp practices of a tottering empire.
That, in sort, is the strange history of the
insults.
But the insults did not create a new
role in American life, or new type of
American business man. Perhaps they
were triffe holder, trifle more reckless
than some others. They pyramided a
trifle higher and they poured little more
water into their stocks but that is about all
the difference. The depression merely
fastened their fall, for the financial struc-
ture of their building was bound to sag
down to ruin eventually.
Their game was not new in big bust
ness and frenzied finance in the United
States. Others have played it with the
railroads, in land, in coal, in power and in
other lines. Not content with robbing the
rate-payer they also robbed the stock-hold-
er.
RObber barons of old exacted small
tribute compared with these modern robber
barons, who annually mulct the public out
of millions. Their one redeeming feature is
their happy faculty for pouring this money
back into circulation through laying the
ground work for more plundering. g
