Political Shifts

INDICATIVE perhaps of the political trend
are the party affiliations of Redwood
county newspapers as listed in the new
legislative blue book.
The old blue book listed one Farmer
Labor paper, two Democratic, five Repub-
lican and one independent Republican organ,
accounting for the county's newspapers.
The new listing has one Farmer-Labor
paper, still the Lamberton News and two
Democratic newspapers, the Belview 1nde-
pendent and the Milroy Echo. Strangely
enough, neither of these papers was listed
as Democratic two years ago. The latter
was recently sold which may change it's poll
tical complexion.
Only one of the six holds it's Republican
affiliation, it being the Morgan Messenger.
Two papers previously listed as Democrat
are now independent and three former Re-
publican papers are now under the independ-
ent banner, among these being The Redwood
Gazette.
Probably this is healthy trend. The
day of the hidebound my-party- always
right editor is passing. The newspaper
adopts the attitude taken by growing
number of voters, that it is wise to support
what it believes to be right regardless OF the
party responsible. Better government will
almost certainly result.

Strikes

7 T IS CHARACTERISTIC of all persons
who work for living to look askance at
persons who do not, whether they be pri-
vileged with idleness because of riches or
take advantage of a generous government
because of laziness.
It is this characteristic that makes per-
sons not familiar with the thinking of organ
lied labor, critical of strikers and trouble
makers within industry Americans object
to exhorbitant profits for capital and STAR
vation wages for the working classes, yet
we feel that when production is at it's height
and there is opportunity of steady employ
ment at reasonable wages to the eventual
good of both capital and labor, the strikers
are taking unfair advantage of the situation
by throwing returning prosperity into tail
spin because they see an opportunity to die

Familiar FalsehOOd

\ favorite comment of public speakers,
u and probably some of them actually
believe their story, is that one can
believe only about half of what he reads in
the newspapers.
The truth is that the large newspapers
belong to news gathering organizations with
representatives in every community, picked
for ability and training, who forward news
of local events to larger centers where it is
transmitted to member papers by WIRE
Every effort is made by all reputable news
papers to get the facts and represent them
properly. Editorially a newspaper may be
biased and unfair but in it's news columns
facts and facts alone are what it tries to
give its readers.
In the smaller newspaper, gathering OF
news is a personal matter with sources con-
tacted regularly and copy written carefully
and checked and rechecked for accuracy and
clarity The number Of even comparatively
insignificant newspapers which color news
stories with editorial comment or leave out
matter of interest because of the effect on
cash receipts is rapidly and happily on the
wane. Furthermore, all newspapers are pro-
tected by laws which making wilfully giving
misinformation serious offense.
If public speakers and others who are
so sure that the newspapers can't be trusted
were half as accurate and trustworthy in
their statements, there would be far less
misinformation in the country today.

Get All The BOYS

M R. E. H. JOHNSON gave the Lions club
some real meat to consider in his dis
cussion of the Boy Scout movement
Monday when he told how rarely boys with
scout training get into jails and added, "but
perhaps the scout movement is reaching
only the boys who would turn out all right
anyway"
Organized as they are through schools
and churches in many instances and with
certain small expenses generally necessary
to membership, it is not difficult to under
stand that boys from families of more or
less means more often get into the move
ment than the urchins who get their train
ing for life on the streets.
Not that the Boy Scouts is an exclusive
pick and choose, bourgeois organization; !;
most emphatically not, yet the danger of it
becoming such in individual communities is
there because the boys of supposedly better
families naturally grow into membership
while the boys of the street must be contact
ed, urged and in some cases, helped.
It is up to those organizations spon-
soring Boy Scout troops to make it clear to
every boy that his membership is wanted,
that way will be found for him to earn
whatever funds are necessary to enjoy the
privileges of scouting for the movement
serves best when it serves the boys of limit
ed opportunities.

S1.562.5O For A Dime

7 I UNDREDS of persons in this territory
have received those much talked of
chain letters in the last ten days ask
ing for dime donation and the writing of
five more letters, with the promise that
when the recipients of your letters have
each written five letters (25) and their let
ters have resulted in five letters each (125)
and these have written five letters each (625)
and these letters have resulted in another
five (3125) then it will be time for your
name to appear at the top of the list and
when this group has sent five letters each,
you will receive 15,625 letters each contain
ing one dime which will be nice return of
$1,562.50 for the dime invested.
It all seems very simple and mathemat-
ically it checks out very nicely. Of course a
big percentage of the people receiving let
ters will not care to participate and their
letters will result in no return but if only
one-ffth of the persons who receive letters
come through with dimes, the return will be
some $500 which would still be good bet.
However one phase OF the plan seems
to have been overlooked. While everyone is
supposed to get return of $1,562.50 the
question is, where does the other 81 1924
come from?
There is nothing new about chain let
tiers. They are as old as the postal system,
perhaps older They have been used to pro-
mote every cause from peace to war and pro-
hibition to repeal. AS far as we can find out
they have never accomplished anything ex-
cept that they may keep suckers from get
ting gyped on bigger rackets and they swell
the receipts at postof6ces, although postal
authorities discourage them.
Do what you want to with the chain
letters you receive, but don't hold your
breath until the 81 ,562.50 rolls in. You pro-
badly won't get your stamps back.

Unfailing Sign

I F THERE is one sign of returning pros
perity in the rural sections that is un-
failing it is the amount of advertising
carried in the better weekly newspapers in
rural communities and that sign is quite
hopeful right at present.
Many weeklies which punsters might
we'll have called weaklies few months ago
are blossoming out with extra pages and
better filled pages as merchants awaken to
the fact that there is gold to be found in
"them thar advertising hills" People are
buying again and profiting by past expert
ences, they are buying carefully and wisely,
a positive sign that they are studying ad-
vertising and going where the values are
most outstanding.
Almost without exception, the busiest
places in any town are the places that most
regularly and literally use newspaper space.

law at all because it's unconstitutional
and all the fuss and bother goes for

II HE legislature which just closed was
unusually kind to the newspapers of
the state. No laws were passed to cut
down revenue. Even bitter attacks on the
floor which have been customary were gen.
orally lacking this year. But real relief for
editors came with adjournment. This week
there were none of those previously plenti-
full Legislative letters" which we felt forced
to read carefully just in case there might be
a bit of news amid the reams OF factional
