COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

uuct OF nOrSe-and-Duggy days, Is
old fashioned and interferes with
a certain gentleman's ambitions
and that something must be done
about 1t Or
Bread and butter is old fashion
ed. Cake and old wine, the Ten
Commandments, Greek architec-
ture, symphonies, all old fashioned:
old and mellow, sustaining and in
spring; tried and found not want
ing.
Should we then peevishly dis
card or tinker with the master
product Of other ages on the plea
that they are old fashioned or
might 1t not be wiser to hold fast
to that which is ours by right and
pass it on undefiled to coming gen.
erations? After all, the sturdy oak
has a way Of OUTLYING the most
vociferous woodpecker.-Chicago
News.
The promptness with which lit
tie Finland has met the INSTALL
ments due on it's debt to the Unit
ed States has prompted genuine
friendliness for that country in
America. The senate showed its
gratitude for the latest payment of
$165, 453, by passing a bill to ap.
propriate 100000 for the erection
of diplomatic and consular
building in Helsingfors.-North
field News.
To the Harvest Fields
This week saw an interesting re-
futation of an oft repeated fallacy
that the youth of today was being
spoiled by the dole, and similar
practices. Reports that there was a
labor shortage in the harvest
fields Of Western Minnesota re-
Gently reached the city. The city
council and certain welfare agen-
cies quickly grasped the opportun-
ity which presented itself, to place
some Of the local youths in such
work. A local representative took
several Eveleth boys to Moorhead
to investigate, with view Of plac-
ing the boys on jobs. Not only
were the reports confirmed, but
the boys were hired on the day Of
their arrival at Moorhead and an
order for fifty more boys wired
back to Eveleth. A call was sent
out for fifty more and more than
that number three times immed-
lately responded.
| Surely this was worthwhile
demonstration on the part of the
boys and should prove to all that
they have the stuff of which their
rugged pioneer progenitors were
made. What the world always needs
Is confidence, and confidence in
the youth Of the land is desirable
and necessary always.
Don't worry about youth, Old
Man! Check up on your own pes
simism !-Eveleth Clarion.
The Reason for Hobbies
VIE hear a lot about Hobbies,
groups Of people who labor with
congress and law makers to get
laws passed or to prevent the pas
sage Of laws.
The government seems to be
scandalized by the Hobbies. If the
government tries to regulate bus
mess in one way or another, it is
but natural that business should
be concerned with the actions OF
lawmakers. If the government
would leave business alone the
chances are that business would
leave the government alone.
AS long as governments, state
and national, continue their pre-.
sent policies it may expect that
there will be active Hobbies repre-.
senting business groups and or
CARNATIONS.
Most of the Hobbies are entirely
honest They are created in sell
defense. Many Of them can and dc
help law makers with their most
serious problems.
Some Hobbies are crooked and
dishonest. They indulge in corrup
ton. But usually business Is q
corrupting influence with law
makers only because Legislators
and public officials may be cor
rupted. The percentage Of corrupt
lobbyists is doubtless about the
same as the proportion Of corrupt
public officials.
When a government charges cor.
ruption by others its first respon
sibility Is to see what encourages
corruption. Honest people cannot
be bribed and they cannot be lee
astray by the efforts Of selfish and
unprincipled partisans.-Grand Ra
pids Herald-Review.
A recent report from officia
sources indicates that for the frs
time in eight years there Is a move
ment away from cities and back tt
farms. During the years Of bad
farm conditions, thousands Of farm
people left the country to settle IL
cities, and learned finally that thu
bright lights are mostly bunk
Farm conditions today are IA
from good, but they are better thai
for several years, and at least tn
farmer can eat, which many cit.
workers cannot do. 1t Is a mos
unhealthy condition when a major
ity Of our people live in cities. I
we can revive agriculture and keel
people in Gods open air, we will
revive the vitality Of American
life.-Murray County Herald.
