continued economic stress as ado
lescent boys and girls. Crime, law
lessness, and the anti-social ele-
ments in present-day society make
q bid for youth. Work for older
boys and girls has all but disap-
peared. Supervised recreation and
training In right living must take
its place. In this field two organi-
zations are outstanding, the Boy
Scouts and the Girl Scouts. The
work Of these two organizations is
producing wholesome, sane. normal
living and good citizenship.-North-
field News.
According to Meyer Lewis, lead
er Of the American Federation Of
Labor's red purge" in Minneapo-
lis, that city Is 1.-The worst spot in
the country" in respect to COM
munism and radicalism. Lewis has
put his finger on communism and
radical influences in several I'M
ions and is continuing the invest
igation with intensity. Minneapo-
lis will likely find that this in
fluence in labbr circles is the dir
ect cause for industries leaving
that city or preparing to go. "To
kill the goose that laid the golden
egg" will reflect for years to come
in the Flour City. Industry gone;
no work; and then what ?-Brown
County Journal.
Too Much Red Tape
I. N. Darling, who has honestly
endeavored to do something in the
way of preserving the wild game
life Of the nation, has resigned. He
says there has been too much red
tape and a lack of cooperation on
the part of the Agricultural De
partment under which the federal
Biological Bureau officiates. Oar
ling will return to his work as
newspaper cartoonist at Des
Moines.
Darling was not interested in
politics, Republican or Democrat.
To use his own expression, he does
not care whoop for either of the
old parties" but he was in dead
earnest to save the wild game HE
of America and when he found his
efforts were not being supported,
he stepped out of the office. The
serious question about all this con-
servation effort is whether it is
dominated by politics or by sports
mems clubs, which are more inter-
ested in their own amusement than
in preserving the game. A lot of
the big gunners, prominent in the
Isaak Walton and other sports
mems organizations, If given half a
chance will break the law quicker
than any farmer who raises and
feeds the game.-Blue Earth Coun-
ty Enterprise.
Down at Albert Lea the chief Of
police has ordered the members of
staff to notify hotels, restaurants,
poolhalls, candy stores, cigar stores
and other places of business that
punchboards, pinwheels
and other gambling devices will
not be tolerated. A drastic war is
being made on these machines,
which CLEAN many dollar from
the unwary. Fairmont also has
banned machines of this kind.
Saves many a dollar for legitimate
business.-Brown County Journal.

There ought to be some way
found to pay members Of the Leg
islature for their time and expense
in attending special sessions. At the
last special session, the Legislature
voted itself a rather generous mil
cage allowance, but we know of at
least on conscientious member
who felt that it was not even pro-
per to accept that-and did not ac-
cept it. The idea Of no pay for
special sessions Is a by-product of
the adoption Of a flat salary for a
legislative term instead Of the per
diem salary that formerly prevail
ed. But the effect is likely to be ILL
considered legislation at special
sessions. The special session which
will meet on December should
not be hurried. It has the prob
lens of burdensome taxes, old age
relief pensions and unemployment
insurance to thresh out and such
things can't be settled in a week
or so.-Morris Tribune.
