That Is always true of public ex
penditures.-Grand Rapids Heralt
Review.
The Minnesota department o.
conservation has been having ont
OF its perennial rows. A five mar
commission was and Is a decided
mistake. If the law was changed t.
provide one man commission and
If an able, conscientious commits
sioner were appointed and If the
governor would let him alone, Their
perhaps conservation would make
a few forward strides in Minneso
Ia. The department has always
been a political football and its af.
fairs will continue to be in a hope
less muddle until drastic changes
are made.-Red Lake Falls Gazette
Rural Libraries
With the help of Andrew Carne-
gle, the cities and towns of the
United States have been pretty well
supplied with free public libraries
even though maintenance has been
difficult in recent years and few
libraries are able to do all that
they feel they should. Because of
this city people are likely to for
get that many of the citizens of
Minnesota do not live within reach
of libraries.
There is movement in progress
to supply isolated places with boxes
Of books exchanged from time to
time, by means of county library
systems, as some Minnesota coun-
ties have been doing for years with
success.
A little money goes long way
in such library service and as fin
ances permit such work should be
extended. There are many govern
ment expenditures less defensible
than those for free libraries, rural
and urban.-Duluth Weekly Her

A Second Season
Now that the matter of deciding
on the opening Of a second pleas
ant hunting season from November
9 to 10 has been put into the hands
of state game wardens, Nicollet
county conservationists are hoping
that the decision will be to close
this second scheduled season.
Thousands Of the birds were shot
in this territory during the first
season when a record number of
hunters turned out. because of the
fine weather conditions and the re-
port of a large number of birds
there are more pheasants
in this territory to supply all local
hunters. so many came from out
side points this year that it is
feared the local supply is depleted
Most hunters now feel that they
have satisfied their hunting appe-
titles in regard to pheasants. SO
there should be little reason for
opening this second season as
unless the game war
dens report there are more pleas
ants left than we are led to be-

Hellish Conditions
In sentencing two Faribault
county boys for stealing automo-
biles, Judge Haycraft, Of Fairmont,
conditions which sur
round the youth of today as "hellish
and damnable." Said the learned
Judge:
This is one of the hardest cases
I have ever had. I find conditions
are not right in the homes. There
is nobody responsible to take care
Of them even If were disposed to
grant them leniency. I don't say
the boys are not to blame. Nobody
seems interested; nobody is asking
for leniency. Nobody offers to
help. If we keep on this way, I
don't know where we will wind up
in this country. Conditions are he'll
lish, damnable. There are gambling
on every corner and
bootleg joints. Then I am asked to
punish the boys."-Blue Earth

Because business Is now 60 per-
cent recovered from the depression
and has been able to re-employ
only about million Of the II mill
lion unemployed, Hugh s. Johnson
thinks that there will still be six
million unemployed when business
is fully recovered. Johnson's reas-
oning is as false as it was when he
the MIRA to put everyone
back to work. He takes no account
of the constantly widening circle
Of human wants, and of the mil
lions of men it will take to supply
those new wants. Recovery doesn't
just go back to supplying the old
wants, but it carries on into new
fields and what are known as high
err standards Of living. The luxur-
les of today become the necessities
Of tomorrow. If we were content to
live as our grandfathers lived, two
thirds of the people would be idle,
but If we all lived as we would like
to live, there are not possibly
enough workers to supply the
wants. and every business would be
outbidding every other business in
