electric light bills would make it reasonably priced

neutrality proclamation Is the fact
that it lays down a new policy for
American citizens in time of for
eign war-namely, the fact that
any citizen who sticks his head in
to a mess overseas does so strictly
on his own hook.
Amy of our people who volun-
tarily engage in transactions of
any character with either of the
belligerents do so at their own
risk" says the president.
Here is a sound principle that
ought to be made a part of our
permanent policy. Think what
trouble it would have saved us in
the stormy years following 1917!
Strictly adhered to, it would have
enabled us to stay out of that war.
When foreign nations are at war,
the place for Americans is at
home. The man who travels in the
war zone, lends money to the fight
ers, or sells goods to them has only
himself to blame If he gets into a
jam.-Bemidji Sentinel-Tribune.

There was a traffic Jam between
Glencoe and Chaska on Sunday, as
pheasant hunters were returning
to the cities. Cars were lined up
solid tail-light to bumper and the
drivers did not know that the delay
was caused by line of cross-traf-
fic. The rumor went down the line
that game wardens were searching
cars for pheasants in excess of the
legal limit. and a minute later the
ditach beside the highway was fill
ed with pheasants, thrown there by
guilty hunters. THE wicked flee

Who Can Beat Roosevelt
One thousand Republicans gath
cred at the Lowry hotel at st. Paul
Friday evening to honor Colonel
Frank Knox, publisher of the Chi
cago Daily News, who Is a figure
nowadays as possible nominee for
the presidency on the republican
ticket. The majority Of this thou
sand, were newspapermen from
throughout Minnesota.
We must admit that Colonel
Knox Is a high type citizen, a
clean-cut candidate, but the thing
uppermost in our mind is IF nom-
mated, by the republicans, can he
beat ROOSEVELT" OF this we are
doubtful. What the republicans
need is a real fire-eater, a semi
liberal and a real campaigner hav-
ing all the qualifications of Colon
ell Knox.
Their candidate must be a man
who can catch the fancy of the
American people and hold it-one
who, II elected, is his own boss,
and who will disregard the wishes
of the bosses.
Perhaps we are wrong, but we
believe the republicans will be wise
if they nominate next summer that
national figure, Senator Borah, of
Idaho.-Clarrisa Independent.

cause of conservation in Minnesota
would suffer If control of game
and fish, lands and minerals, for
ests and state parks, and other ma
tural resources was lodged in the
hands of commission instead of
single responsible executive, are
being realized.
The recent squabble over the dis
missal Of a game warden by the
director Of the game and fish div
ision has brought things to a head,
The five-man commission, in its
two and one-half years of existence,
has been unable to formulate pol
icies acceptable to the greater ma
jority of true conservationists, but
has spent large part of its time
pickering among its members and
picking quarrels with executives in
the department. The commissioners
have assumed many functions en-
tirely out of their province, and
!. the commissioner of conservation
appointed by them has been a mere
figurehead. Division heads have
been made into rubber stamps and
compelled to carry out the minut-
est wishes of the five-man commits
sion.
Proponents Of the commission
plan fought through the 1888 ses-
sion of the legislature and forced
the present system upon the state.
They were self-styled "conserva-
tionists," ostensibly representing
several statewide organizations
heading up in the Twin Cities.
Threatening to defeat all conserva-
ton measures unless their pet
scheme was adopted, this group
forced the commission plan
through.
The cause of conservation In
Minnesota has suffered since the
commission started to function.

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
Looks Inconsistent
From Our Exchanges


1t seems rather foolish to set up
a program such as the AAA, aim
ed to limit American production.
and then let an ever-increasing
flood of agricultural products flow
into the country from foreign soils
If we are to have limitation of
production, then the American
farmer should benefit fully from
the price increases resulting and
not be forced to share them with
foreigners. Perhaps it's time to
think about setting those tariff
barriers back up.-Owatonna Jour-
Chronicle.
That Rubberized Corner
One of the pleasing phrases in
the Presidents address to the
young Democrats was in the refer
ence to "the recent depression"
It's all over now, and more people
again have the chance to satisfy
more of their needs. Those whose
own experiences says the word
recent" should be changed to
present" will disagree with the
Presidents cheerful viewpoint, as
they did with the man before him
who had hopeful ideas about an
aforementioned corner.-Montevide

MOSQUITO CONTROL
CAMPS WILL NOT
Be DISCONTINUED
Report OF Worcester Camps
Closing Set At Naught By
Forester BeaSley

Some concern was felt over the re-
ported dropping of one of the mos
quito control camps in Wrcester Coun.
ty. 1t seems that there was some
foundation for the rumor and that
the camp, or camps, was not dropped
is evidently due to the activity OF
Congressman T. Alan Goldsborough
Mr.. Goldsborough, always concern,
ed for the welfare of his district, see
ing the existence of the camps was
in critical condition, got busy ano
was successful in preventing any hos
tile action being taken. And it is
not too much to say, their retention
is due to his interest, as they seemed
doomed.
The rumor, however, was officially
set at rest on Monday last by F. w
Beasley, State Forester. Mr.. Beas.
ley's attention had been called to the
rumors by Senators Tydings and
Radcliffe, of Maryland, who supported
the establishment of these camps or
the Eastern Shore.
There are two of these camps in
the county, one at Ocean City and the
other at the public landing, on Sine
puxent Bay, about six miles from
Snow Hill.
Mr.. Beasley informed Senator Ty-
dings that he had no intention of
moving one of these camps in the
near future, but that he had been in
formed that there must be a reduction
of approximately forty per cent in
CCC camps before July 1, next year.
