WOULD PLACE BIBLE IN SCHOOL
Editor ASkOy Americana.
Hinckley, MINI.

Editor Askov Americana:
Will you be so kind as to give me
little space in your valuable paper
to express at least some of my views
on a matter of very great importance
to the home and nation.
Now, dear sir, my desire is as usual
to try to do a little to make it easier
for people to do good, and harder for
them to do wrong. All anyone needs
to do to convince themselves that this
is needed is to glance at the list of
crimes as reported in our daily papers.
Surely it behOOveS all of us to say
and do all we can to save the innO-
cent, and stop the destruction of
property and to prevent suicide and
murder. Now at the risk of all the
faults that anyone, or many people,
may see in this article, | hereby sug
gest that one book, which is not now
text book in our unsupported
schools be put therein, and that book
is the Bible, which is the best book
in all the world. No other can begin
to compare with it.. | give in proof
of this that it is the only book of
which God claims to be the author.
1t is the best book on law; best book
on obedience to law: best book on
economy; best book on home making:
best book on how to get along with
everybody. and especially our neigh
Dor 1t is the best book on health;
the only book that declares without
any question the origin of the human
race: the only book that tells where
We are going after death. Then why
rot let all the children read it?
But you say why put the Bible in
the schools, for we have it in our
Sunday schools and it is read from
our pulpits? Because there are, ac-
cording to figures given by some, &c.
100000 or more, between the ages Of
SIX and twenty years that are not get
ting any teaching about God.
Now the Bible is not a denomina-
rional book, all denominations may
use it, but none have a monopoly of
it. 1t is Gods gift to all people, for
all need it. Again the State owes
something to those who do not go to
any church or Sunday school. 1t is
not fail to punish youngsters for what
they have never had a chance to
know. Yes, some parents warn them,
and perhaps they know what the pO-
licemen are for, but most of the young
can reason and they do. They know
that they can escape the eye of parent
and police. but if they are taught of
God they know they cannot escape his
eye.
Now the State eompels all to at
tend school. Put the Bible in the
school, it will save thousands from the
reformatory; thousands from the penal
institutions; will lessen all forms of
crime; it will increase happiness
among the people, and will save the
country millions i'm taxes.
Yours for a fair play for all the
people.

FOR YEAR LONG COUNTY
ROAD PROGRAM
Editor AskOy American.

Editor AskOv American:
About this time of the year seven
or eight years ago, | accompanied a
delegation to the county board meet
ing at Pine City to make an appeal
for the clearing of county roads of
snow. We were told at that time that
the county was i'm no financial con-
dition to provide the necessary equip
ment for proper removal of the snow
and we were told that it would put a
tremendous burden upon the already
heavy load of the taxpayers if the
county was to Over-eXtend itself and
purchase the equipment. That same
answer would probably be given to
delegations if they approached the
comm issiOners on the subject today.
/ can commend the commissioners on
their efforts to ease the burden of
taxpayers as any extensive tax-spend-
ing program now would be ill-advised.
But, since that time seven or eight
years ago, the county has built much
new road and maintained them for
summer time travel. And, as far as
l know, no plans have been made, or
equipment purchased, to keep the
Pine county roads open during the
winter months. And, we have no
definite assurance that Pine county
will do anything about the snow prob
lem within the next seven years.
1t seems to me that no road pro-
gram in Pine county for the next five
years would be complete unless it
gradually provided for snow removal.
When budgeting the appropriations
for road construction and mainte-
nance a portion of it should. and could
and plows, which in time would put
the county in a position to pillow all
county roads, and have equipment
sufficient to rent to towns, villages
and private individuals to open up
feeder" roads.
Such a program would not increase
the tax burden any but merely spread
the amount of money spent on road
construction and maintenance over a
period of twelve months instead Of
seven.
1t would provide immense indirect
economical benefits as with open
roads and the necessity of "bucking'
snow drifts eliminated, the cost of
winter travel to everyone will be
greatly reduced.
have observed in my travels
around that neighboring counties use
large trucks for maintaining county
roads during the summer months and
use them to remove snow during the
winter. From outside observation
such a system seems efficient and eff
that it would not be continued by
the county authorities of the reSpec-
tive counties if it was not economical.
If it is a satisfactory system why
is it not employed by Pine county
rather than clinging to the present
system of teams and light patrols
who attempt to make impressions on
hard crusted roads?
| believe that we have progressed
so far in this county that the normal
commerce and activities requires that
roads be kept open during the whole
year, and if snowplOwing can not be
done without new additional funds, it
should be done at the expense of sum-
mer maintenance, and new road con-
struction.

FOR BETTER BUSINESS
(The st. Paul Daily News)

I'VE have demanded of many citi-
zens that they surrender certain Ii
censes to do as they pleased in their
business relationships, but we have
asked this in exchange for the prOtec-
ton which the state can give against
exploitation by their fellow men,
President Roosevelt.
To put it another way, no business
men ever did "as they pleased"
In the former days of uncurbed COM
petition, a man ran his business not
according to his own standards, but
largely according to the practices
which it pleased" the least scrupu-
louS members of his industry to adopt.
What the new deal has done is to
free business from the tyrannieal con-
troll of this INSCRIPTIONS minority,
and to substitute democratic control
by the enlightened majority under the
friendly supervision of the govern
ment.

Miss Dunn also dropped the ninth

Miss GuStafSon's second shot was

was over par on only three holes.
