POLITICAL NOTES
BY r. w. Hitchcock
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;

spectacle of farmer-labor department
OF education which thinks more OF
politics and a plan of "socializing" the
public schools than it does of the
training and education of the children
of the state.
DR.. John G. Rockwell, new CON-
missioner of education, has made two
public speeches since he took office in
neither of which did he have anything
to offer as to the children of Minnesota
except that they ought to be social
ized,' and in both of which he declared
that he intended to use the public
schools of the state for that purpose.
His second appearance was at a
meeting of the Minneapolis Farmer
Labor Educational Club on Saturday.
September 22nd, when for the first time
in the history of the state, the depart
ment of education took off his coat and
plunged into politics.
Some of DR.. Rockwell's outgivings
The public schools have not functioned
for the best interests of the people OF
the state, particularly the labor group
=. The public schools are not sutfi-
| GENTLY Sociallzed. We must change
our textbooks. :. They are guilty
now of exclusion and deletion." CHe
does not specify, but from the general
tenor of his talk We may take it that
what is excluded and deleted is COM
munism. =. We are. going to intro
duce 20 special topics in the public
schools cooperatives, labor under the
MIRA, tariff, Tennessee Valley Author
| ity, public and private ownership, etc
:. We have contacted writers cf
these pamphlets. ;. +. If any superin-
tendent puts these pamphlets in the
waste paper basket and I catch him at
it "II be harsher in my judgments OF
them than I am now" If the
Teachers Colleges do not teach these
pamphlets, we'll set up training de-
partment of our own. :. We shall
closely scrutinize local candidates fol-
school boards with the idea of getting
men favorable to this plan.
Which being translated into less care
fully cloaked but more direct English
probably means that if you don't like
what we mean to cram down your
children's Threats, We'll make you like
it.
Oscar Youngdahl, former commander
Of the Minnesota Legion, in opening
his campaign for the office of attorney
general said that with only half as
much highway construction as in 1890
and 1881 the present attorney general
has increased the number of lawyers
in the highway department. from six to
fourteen. He produced copy of a
letter sent out each month from the
''Farmer-Labor Sustaining Fund.-" ask
ing for the balance due on the three
per cent salary assessment who,
asked Mr.. Youngdahl, "are sustained
by this fund? Is it the drought
stricken farmers of Minnesota Is it
the unemployed laborers of the state?
Is it the small business man struggling
to save his business, or the ordinary
citizen who finds it increasingly diff
cult to pay his taxes?
The three per cent slush fund
assessment, on the basis of $4,000 state
employees, Mr.. Youngdahl suggested, at
an average of $120 per month amounts
to the enormous sum of $4,000 per
month, and the staggering sum of
$648, 900 per year"

She accepted, she said.
Posing as a director in the Inter

T INA, O., March 10.-Harry
l. Pierpont, instead of John
DilIinger, should be considered
Americas public enemy No. l, in
the opinion of Edward Shouse, a
former member of the notorious
outlaw gang.
Shouse was brought here from
the Indiana state prison to testify
for the state during Piierpont's
trial on charges of numbering
Sheriff Jess Sarber of Lima.
The sheriff was slain when he
resisted efforts Of the gang to free
Dillinger from the Lima Jail.
Prompted by fear of electrocu-
ton, Shouse agreed to testify
against Pierpont and other mem
bers of the gang in return for
a promise of immunity from the
electric chair.
He named Pierpont as the one
who killed Sheriff Sarber and the
one who plotted the jail delivery.
Shouse also took part in the de-
livery. He and Pierpont were
among ten convicts who escaped
from the Indiana state prison last
September with the aid of guns
smuggled IN by Dillinger
Il did not want to take part in
the Dillinger delivery, but I felt
1 owed a debt to Johnny for his
part in engineering our escape
from the prison." Shouse said.
Il consented to aid after being
threatened by PierpOnt."
Pierpont, or pete" as he was
called by Shouse, planned the bank
robberies which the gang staged
and several others which were
not carried out, the latter said.
The Racine bank job was
planned by Pierpont on his return
frfom Milwaukee, where he had
attempted to dispose Of some of
the bonds stolen in the Green
castle bank robbery" Shouse de-
clared.
The Peru and Auburn police
station raids were conducted by
Pierpont and Dillinger merely to
get some publicity.
Cooler heads prevented Pier
point frfOm carrying out one of
his most fantastic schemes. He
wanted to kidnap five or six In
diana state policemen and wear
their uniforms during bank rob-
berry. The plan was dropped only
after a violent discussion.

iron hand and death was the
penalty for any disobedience of
