feated in every clash with the Ital-
ians, and in the meantime no new
strength and sagacity have been added
to the government at London
Olympiad.
Although sports nominally should
politics, the American delegation to
the Olympic Games which opened a
few days ago at Berlin, has injected
politics into it's participation. While
delegations from all other countries
dipped their flags when passing by
the swastka-flag bedecked reviewing
stand on the opening day, the Amer
leans refused to do that If they had
openly said that they would not salute
the German national flag because
they wanted to protest against certain
of Adolf Hitler's policies, that could
have been understood as a manly
however futile-act. Instead they
sought refuge in regulation to the
effect that the American flag must
be dipped only before the president
of the United States. That is true in
the case of army parades and the
like. The American Olympic delega-
ton consists of young civilians who
are not bound by army regulations.
Whether one likes Hitler and his
new flag or not, is, in this case, i'm
material; the fact is that the swastika
flag is now the national emblem of
the German republic and officially
recognized as such throughout the
world. International courtesy de-
mands that on occasions such as this
where an American delegation is
the guest of Germany-the national
flag of Germany be saluted in the in
ternationally prescribed manner. AS
it was, the American demonstration
fell completely flat, for it served
merely to emphasize the oft-repeated
suspicion that Americans when
abroad like to make their own rules
and regulations. These things cannot
be done, and most certainly they are
not conducive to the fostering of
friendship between two great nations.
1t would have been far more effec-
tive demonstration for the Americans
to remain away from Berlin alto
gether. Then the world would have
sat up and taken notice
Now, it merely guffaws-and goes
on with the game.

A LOT OF WORDS

John d. M. Hamilton, chairman OF
the Republican national committee
and chief strategist for Governor ALI
M. Landon. in his bid for the pres
idency, seemed to have made hit
when he appeared in st. Paul Monday.
He was proclaimed by one writer as
brilliant, aggressive, forceful and
astute. He may have the stage pres
ence and he may be quite an orator,
he may even be good looking, but
what does he and his man LandOn
stand for and who do they represent?
Governor Landon in his recent &C
oeptance speech was indefinite anu
raised more questions than he settled.
They talk about his having liberalized
the Republican party. How about
Former Sen. Grundy of Pennsylvania.
who said that the West did not have
any chips in the game, Andrew Mellon.
"the greatest secretary since the days
of Alexander Hamilton" Ogden Mills.
Publisher Hearst, the Du Points, does
anyone believe they would allow the
nomination of Landon for the presi-
dency if they did not consider him
safe to their interests? And how
about the oil men, packers. bankers.
and other great financial interests?
Governor Landon. like the national
committeeman, may also be pretty
good speaker, but where does he stand
on economic issues?
Talking about Landon's acceptance
speech, Governor Green of Rhode
Island said: HE steered shy of the
tariff. He made a wide detour around
the utilities question. He didn't men
ton stock market speculation. He
breathed never a word about banking
legislation or public works program
or specific labor legislation"

said Landon "sings song of tabled
kingdoms yet to come. Turing his fell
low men to their destruction on the
rocks of business greed. A bitter
end for a party that once had Abra-
ham Lincoln as its standardbearer."

CRIME GOT HIM

Again we have strong proof that
crime does not pay. After getting
into the clutches of the law and 1t
was proved he had hand in the $780,
900 abduction of william Hamm, Jr.,
and he was given 80 year sentence.
John Jack PETER, st. Paul gambler
and night club man, committed sui
eide.
In melting out the sentence the
judge scored PETER, stating that he
had the ability to make an honest
living, and certainly should have
thought Of the disgrace he was heap
ing upon his old mother, wife, broth
ers and other relatives. Characters
of the underworld type usually can't
take it, they are yellow. and so it Is
no great surprise when they try to
do away with themselves, as was
done in this case by taking poison.
An elaborate funeral was given
PETER, almost in Chicago gangland
fashion. THE boys" whom he had
wined and dined so often. showered
flowers upon the casket. 1t was esti-
mated that floral offerings repre-
sented an expenditure of about $4,000.
The PETER affair brings attention
again to the fact that when the fed
eral government set out two or three
years ago to clean up on gangland,
the real rough underworld characters,
they made a good job of it, getting
AL Capone. and one after another
down the line. 1t is true that bad
economic conditions help to breed
crime but it is far from being the
only cause. Some of the worst des-
peradoes simply won't work, they
want to get by on their wits, out
smart and Guido the police. and they
take pride in their depredations.
Such persons cannot be talked to-,
they must be handled and not with
silk gloves. When they will not lis
ten they must be forced to respect
the law for the good of society. The
federal government is due much
credit for what has been accomplished
along that line the past two or three
years.

Worker is MainStay

The worker may not be show

flag waving, and so forth, but he
is more important than the war
rior The worker cannot be
blamed if he asks the fighting
man to get out of the way so that
he can go on with his work. The
one produces, maintains and
builds, while the other destroys.
these thoughts appeared in The
st. Paul Daily News under the
caption civil War;" and follows:
In The Daily News Wednesday was
a revealing sidelight on the civil war
in Spain, dug up by a newspaper cor
respondent who was trailing a re-
treating army across the country.
Stopping at little farm to get a
drink. the correspondent asked a
peasant which side he was.
The peasant said bluntly that he
was on neither side. He only hoped
that both sides would get the fighting
over with and go home, so that he
could go ahead with his job of getting
the crops in.
This peasant probably was vice.
fully undereducated person with no
understanding of the great issues of
the day. But he did manage to voice
humanity's age-old complaint against
war-it gets in the way Of the work
that has to be done.
He has had brothers on every bat
tie field in all history. To them
armies and battles are an unmitigated
nuisance and the work of the world
would go forward lot faster if they
were abolished.
And although it may be heresy to
suggest it, these people probably are
quite right.
Human civilization is a strange
growth, and we do not entirely I'M
derstand how it got started or how it
does manage, in spite Of obstacles, to
keep progressing; but it is clear that
its base is the worker and not the
warrior, the man who produces rather
than the man who destroys.
Civilization does not rest on a base
of armies and navies; it rests on the
backs of the men who work with their
hands, in field or in shop. and it will
last Just as long as they go on hold
ing it up. They are greater process
sion, in the long pages of history,
than all the hordes Of warriors that
ever followed drum
They move without glory and with
out battle flags. But for unnumbered

and the winds carry off the crash OF

TIMES ARE IMPROVING!
Editor ASkOv American:

Editor ASkOv American:
1t may be of interest to the readers
of the AskOv American to know that
little over year ago school district
No. 80 took care of the biggest part
of 81 900 of the county's funds so as to
make it safer for our Sunday school
superintendent in the district. And at
the annual meeting in 1885 baseball
bat was brought into service to de-
prive some voters of their constitu-
tional rights and so that the truth
could not be told at that meeting. AS
result of that the county attorney
took up the case for the defendant
and the defendant also tied up the dis
trict's funds. "Tvs~..-
After some of the filth and cobwebs
that were in the holy school boards
minds were shaken out they found
themselves against stone wall. They
got an idea to call a special meeting
for the purpose of getting advice
from the voters as to what to do
next. To that special meeting Edward
DePover and myself sent a note say
ing that we could settle the trouble
they had gotten themselves into if
they would give us the authority to
do so. without any cost to the district.
But no, they couldn't trust anybody
outside of Sunday school boy, and
so they failed getting settlement. |
understand they got the authority
from the voters to fight it out by law.
but that special meeting. was not
called for the purpose of providing
any funds for that purpose. Well,
they engaged an attorney and it was
thrown out. The attorney took $50
for his service which was paid out OF
the district funds. At the annual
meeting of 1896 the question was
raised as to the legality. because the
county attorney is state man and
the school funds are state funds used
to fight the state man. When 1t came
to vote about accepting the report
it was so close that the chairman was
in doubt as to which way it went and
while he was making up his mind,
Ballyhoo Hartland's horn bawled out:
"Mr. Chairman, it's carried to accept
the report"
And again when the question of vot-
ing compensation for the board for
the past season came up there was no
explanation as to the legality of the
$50 and the treasury being responsible
for the funds it should be taken from
the treasurer's salary. Then the Sun
day school superintendent got busy
with the whitewash brush and blamed
me for the whole deal. And so the
district was deprived of $50 OF its
funds which is an improvement over
last year.
If anybody outside of the Sunday
school boys pulled trick like that.
chances are they would get the same
treatment the darkies get down south.
l would like to hear from the old
school board through the Askov
American, whether 1 am right or
wrong on the above.
