SAFETY ON HIGHWAYS
Mile Laos County Times)


After driving nearly six thousand
miles over the highways of this coun-
try the past four weeks, the editor
gained some notions regarding the
things that are necessary to make for
safety on the public highways, and to
check the increasing slaughter of peo-
pie on the public roads. First of all,
the arterial highways should all be
under the control of the federal gov
eminent in regard to policing. There
should be federal drivers license
system instead of leaving it up to the
various states. At least part of the
highway patrol should be plain clothes
men riding in ordinary automobiles
so that they cannot be distinguished
from the travelling public and they
should patrol the more dangerous
highways, so that all drivers would
know there is some check on their
actions. and they may not know at
what moment a patrol car may be
ahead or behind them.

FULL DIVIDENDS
INDICATE UPTURN

Payment of a full dividend to its
$4,000 preferred stockholders, and
restoration of one-half of a 10 per
cent pay cut to it's 700 employees
was voted by the board of directors OF
the Minnesota Power & Light Com
pany at its meeting Friday.
This action increases the dividend
on the companys preferred stock from
three-quarters to the full rate, and
restores one-half of the cut in pay
made in March, 1882, to the COM
pany's employees.
The boards action reflects not only
the greatly improved water conditions
throughout the company's territory,
but also a substantial upturn in bust
ness from the low point reached in
1888. Last year due to low water
and the greatly reduced capacity of
its hydrO-electric plants, the company
was obliged to keep it's Duluth Steam
station in operation for approximately
eight months. The additional cost of
operating this plant alone was $780,
900, ds more than $4,000 tons of coal
were burned during this time.
This year the Duluth steam station
operated only during the first two
months, as due to the deep SHOWS of
last winter and the heavy rainfall
since then, there has been an ample
supply of all the water power needed.
While the board restored the full
dividend on the company's preferred
stock, no dividend was declared on
the company's common stock, on
which no dividends have been paid
since early in 1882, and none can be
paid until all the back dividends on
the preferred stock have been paid
in full. These dividends in arrears on
the company's preferred stock amount
to approximately S. per share at the
present time, as only a one-half divi-
dend was paid on the preferred shares,
beginning July 1, 1888, and continuing
until July 1, 1884, when this was in
creased to three-quarters, and this
rate has been maintained until the
present time.
OF its $4,000 preferred stockholders,
some 10000 reside in the territory
served by the company. Payment Of
the dividend for the present quarter
on the companys preferred stock, at
the full rate, will be made on October
first, next.

OLD MEN WITH YOUNG MINDS
THE Minnesota Union Advocate)

George w. Norris, senior senator
from Nebraska, reached his 74th
birthday July II, still young enough
to be looking forward, and to say that
the use of the taxing power to break
up dangerous fortunes and the right
settlement of the production and dis
tribution of electricity were the great
issues of the near future.
Voltaire, when past 80, sensing the
French Revolution which doomed jus:
ahead, once exclaimed: Blessed are
the young. for they shall seel great
thingsr' Widely separated in time
and character as the two men are,
Voltaire and Norris have this in COM
mon: Both made a business of fight
ing for the underdog, and both man
aged to keep a youthful mind in an
ageing body. r.. - --..
Norris was the tenth child in a
family of IL, born to couple who
probably never had more than 81 900
worth of property in their lives. His
father was killed in the Civil war.
His mother had no schooling, but she
was determined that her children
should have it. George and two of
his sisters worked their way through
school on stipend so small that one
is afraid to state it. At the age of
16, George was teaching one of the
toughest schools of the state, with
many pupils older and bigger than
himself; and making such success
of it that the school board wanted to
lengthen the term.
He has fought increasingly for the
common good. He is author of the
bill outlawing the yellow dog contract.
He is the only man in the senate who
has seen his proposed amendment to
the U. S. Constitution written into the
basic law of the land-the amendment
abolishing the lame duck" session of
Congress.
May his days still be long in the
land.

WE CAN IMPROVE

Knowingly or unknowingly parents
and adults are constantly setting ex-
amples for youngsters. There is al
ways some boy who wants to emulate
some grown up man he knows; he
wants to be like that certain man.
This is we'll for adults to bear in
mind. Life is a constant growing up.
We are never through learning. We
live as long as we learn and when
We do not learn any more we are
not doing much living. If we want to
leave the world better place in
which to live, we must remember
that that can be accomplished to a
considerable extent through self-bet-
terment. We can change our bad
habits if we are determined to do so,
and the sooner or earlier they are
changed the better. 1t is we'll to re-
member that as the twig is bent so
is the tree inclined.

AS a further aid to North Dakota

Shows EN- Up.
Reverting again to the wheat grades
l want to quote a statement of DR..
H. L. Walster of the North Dakota
experiment station at Fargo, contend
ing that the tests he has made show
that the light shriveled wheat makes
fine flour. DR.. Walster says:
TEST loaves have been baked from
% samples from the nine counties /"
the statement continued. ALI baking
tests were made on patent flour which
represented IS per cent of the total
yield of flour for each sample.
Loaf Volume High.
I'm general the baking results show
the loaf volume is very high. For
example, standard loaf of good quail
ity should have a volume of 400 &C,
and the loaf volume of these tested
wheats runs from low of 4S6 &C to
a high GA &C.
Many loaves showed as good a tex
ture as standard loaf and the ma
jority are only one or two points
lower than the standard loaf.
Using 95 per cent as a standard
color, the score on these loaves, on
an unbleached basis, runs from 80
to go. 1t is obvious that bleaching
would improve the color, although SO
is Standard for the baking trade.
"All loaves show high water alb
sorption and a good weight loaf.
Storage of much of this light
weight wheat from six to eight weeks
would improve it's milling quality.
1t is generally recognized that imma-
ture wheat and freshly harvested
wheat does not return as good loaf,
of as good a color, as does
a wheat that has been in storage for
some time.
Although the results today cover
only a few samples that is every rea-
son to believe that even though sew
eral hundred more samples are milled
and baked, the general trend will not
be different.
They reveal a wheat crop con-
a gluten of extraordinary
high quality, consequently we have
here a wheat most useful for blend
ing with heavier starchier wheats of
lower protein content and lower bak-
ing value

bloodshed. Many men in public life
had been crushed during his rule or
ruin regime.
With reference to the laws and
regulations of his own state he once
boasted II am the constitution" He
was to the state of Louisiana what
Mussolini is to Italy, and Hitler to
Germany.
He was, however, man of great
ability, but his tactics were wholly
un-American and certainly it was no
credit to the subservient governor,
state legislators and other state Of
ficials and the people of Louisiana
as a whole that they had been so COM
pletely sand-bagged by the Kingtish.
OF course there were reasons for
his political rise. The masses of peo-
pie in the southern states, especially,
were living under bad social and eco
nomic conditions. They were looking
for a Moses to take them out of the
wilderness. He was man of action
and had made some good moves.
With his slogan, share the wealth."
his astuteneSS as a politician, his UNI
ceasing work. his ability as speaker.
and his ruthless procedure he steadily
advanced to the throne in Louisiana.
1t is hoped that there will be no
more such attempts at downing po-
litical leader. There are other and
much better ways of accomplishing
that end. Dictatorship does not be-
long in America. 1t must be fought
and certainly not by way
of the bullet.
1t is deplOrable that the state OF
affairs have come to such turn and
that the average intelligence of the
people of state could not long ago
have circumvented the onslaught of a
political leader and demagogue like
Senator Long.

CHECK ON FORCE

The big question now amongst the
former lieutenants and friends of the
assassinated Senator Huey P. Long
of Louisiana, is: Who will take his
place? Who will carry on?
1t is likely that Governor o. X.
Allen will resign. permitting Lieuten-
ant Governor James Noe to succeed
him. Noe would then appoint Allen
to the vacant seat in the United
States Senate.
There are a half dozen men who
were very close to Senator Long and
with about an equal amount of ability
and leadership. Certainly none of
them possess anywhere near the dyna-
mic force, personality, and tireless
efforts of the Kingish.
To an outsider it looks like the
dictatorship of the state of Louisiana
came to an end with the death of
Senator Long. Leaders of his ability,
experience, and ruthlessness are not
created over night merely through
appointment. And we'll it is that such
power is not granted or acquired
quickly.
Huey Long started out to run
things already in his high school days.
He organized clubs, and if other boys
did not submit to his rulings, he
engineered things some how, so they
did not get on the debate team. foot
ball or baseball team. He kept forg-
ing ahead, and with an unusual per-
sonality and spirit of never give up
he gained the heights of power in
state, unparalleled in the history of
America
He did some good for Louisiana, of
course, ever interested and building
the university. He was the type of
man who could make things hum and
were ready to crown him king any
time. Enemies were pushed aside
like so much dust. So in a way he
invited violence. His unusual power
had been gained at the age Of but AZ.
He was born in Louisiana in 1893.
Full of ambition and a man who
did big things he was nevertheless
dangerous element i'm the political
life of the United States. He catered
to the masses by propounding a pro-
gressive and liberal program and for
the most part voted right in the Sen
ate. His desire for ruling however,
was SO great that he was inconsistent.
He made friends quickly and enemies
even more quickly.
Admired and heralded by millions
of people through his share the
wealth" program he was a dangerous
leader because he was the type who
might have sold out to great indus
trial and financial interests and be-
come their candidate for president. |
He would have gloried in dictatorial
powers over the entire United States |
as an emperor or a car in a regular |
Fascist regime if the people would |
have fallen for it. In that respect |
he was dangerous.
But the point is that there is not |
Huey Long in louisiana |
Such leadership is not acquired |
through an appointment. Long was
an individualist and there is not an
other person like him in the Pelican |
state at this time. The voters there |
should also see to it that another |
dictator does not crop up. If one of
the lieutenants try the same course |
he should be halted in an orderly |
way before it is too late. The man.
ner in which Huey Long was halted
is no credit to anybody, rather it is
an admission Of defeat on the part
Of the perpetrator or perpetrators.
