nF course, it is true that Cans
- was Baltimore's greatest gift
to pugilism, even though he was
born in Philadelphia and there are
many people hereabouts who re-
member him both as a tattered
urchin along the waterfront and
later as a blurred bolt or brown
lightning in the ring.
One of these is Joe Tipman who
operates tavern here, and who was
a fair sort of fist thrower as a pro-
fessional in another generation,
leaping TO national fame overnight
by flooring Terry McGovern in an
informal bout on the stage of local
music hall. Mr.. Tipman was the
champion of the newSboys at the
time and McGovern, uplifting the
drama, was meeting all corners after
the show.

AAA AfterthOughts

THE DISAPPOINTMENT over the su,
preme court thumbs downing" the
AAA is taken more philosophically on
second thought by a great many friends OF
the program.
Basis of the change in attitude is the
fact that government red tape was winding
itself around the program to point that
threatened it's future even without the
courts decision. There were flaws enough
in the law, passed as it was in haste as an
emergency measure, and congress had al
ready hung several appendages to it that
were almost certainly unworkable.
While the decision was sweeping, there
is high hope that something better will be
built from the ruins, something which has
a broader foundation of experience partlc-
ularly in regard to the complications OF mul-
tiple forms, regulations and rulings which
necessitate large office forces and add great
expense to the execution of any program.
Principal danger now is that there will
be too great haste in working out substl-
tute. Time is not pressing today as 1t was
when the old program was passed. Agrlcul-
tural conditions are better and the supplies
of most products hardly warrant curtall-
ment of production. The political exped-
iency of getting new and popular plan un-
derway before the fall election is obvious
but time enough should be taken to make
sure that the best constitutional plan possl-
BILE is being employed.
Current efforts to belittle the benefits
rural sections derived from the AAA and
the stimulus given trade and manufacturing
by rural buying with AAA checks, are ridi-
culous. Such checks were particularly need
ed and welcomed in the drouth year, 1884
but they were an important part of the farm
income in any year.
While on the subject of AAA, word of
praise is due firms which, on receiving pro-
cessing tax refunds are taking the attitude
that they are not rightfully their property
and have instituted steps to return them to
the consumer where possible.
The supreme court was short-sighted in
calling agricultural troubles a state problem
but it was even more hide bound in not de-
claring processing taxes already paid or in
escrow to be the property of the govern
ment, an expedient which would have saved
taxpayers millions just as the courts liber-
ality on the gold clause matter overlooked
the letter of the law for the welfare of the
nation.
AS the situation now stands, the con-
sumner has already paid the processing tax
es which in turn paid the farmers benefits.
But the tax now becomes a tribute to the
professor. The farmer is to be paid what
he still has coming from general tax funds
and the already Over-burdened taxpayer will
sooner or later have to dig up all over again
for AAA expenditures.

Canned Weather

MAN HAS done some wonderful things
MI in the many sciences to improve his
living conditions and many luxuries
of a generation ago are considered necessi-
ties of today along with things not dreamed
of when our fathers were boys.
But with all his skill and ingenuity,
man has developed no control of the ele-
ments, no system to suppress storms or
make rain fall when he would have it fall
or distribute temperature more evenly
through the seasons.
Snow fences and snow plows have done
away with the winter-long tieup of cars
and antiquated the sled or cutter as mode
of travel today in regions which attempt
snow removal-yet when the snow falls and
the winds whip it into drifts, there is moth
ing man can do until the wind has spent it.
self and calm prevails again.
Anyone seriously contending that the
weather will some day be deliberately hand
picked would be scoffed at no doubt-but is
the idea any more absurd than the sugges-
tion a quarter of century ago that we
might some day turn a dial on wooden
box and bring in the voices and music of
European nations without even wire con-
Meeting the voice with the point where it is
reproduced?
The newspaper has felt the competition
of the RADIO some day perhaps the coal
dealer will complain about the new contrap-
tion that brings summer breezes in Febru-
ary to break the grip of the blizzard.

Greener Grass

y RASS in the other fellows pasture is
supposed to grow greener but there is
nothing in the old proverb as far as
Minneapolis and Chicago are concerned.
Each, looking at it's crime situation with
rose-colored glasses, is certain the other has
much more of which to be ashamed.
It's all very amusing to us folks of the
hinterlands to see newspapers and politi-
clans of the two cities disagreeing so radio
ally as to the relative blackness of their re-
spective alleys, but it is tragic, too, that SO
much smoke is obscuring the real issue.
Minnesota is mildly interested in Chica-
gos crime troubles but because of the Windy
City's comparative remoteness, the situation
in Minneapolis is of far more Importance.
Comparison of the two is a complete waste
of time. Publishers of both cities would do
we'll to bend their efforts toward complete
and sweeping cleanups of their own back
yards, after which there may be time for
pointing with pride"
The situation in Minneapolis did not
grow up in one administration any more
than field becomes matted with weeds in
one summer. Nor can the mess be cleaned
up with one plowing. 1t will take years of
carefully organized and determined effort to
uproot every dishonest politician and vice
center.
Telling the public that the Mill City's
backyard has fewer creeping jennies than
some other city will never expose any of
their roots

Newspaper Mistakes
}. NEWSPAPERS NAL

Z /ES, NEWSPAPERS make mistakes
There is no concealing the fact, be-
cause the errors themselves are spread
where all the world may see them. But is
there as much inaccuracy as people think !?
Probably not. Frank R. Kent of the Balti-
more Sun, speaking at William and Mary
College, makes striking statement of the
case, which may interest readers as much as
it interests newspapermen. I'm no business
and in no profession save that of the pure
scientist, he declares, sis the premium of
accuracy so high, the penalty for inaccuracy
so prompt and the proportion of accuracy so
great. There isn't newspaperman any
where who does not know that, trivial
though his error may be, someone will catch
it. Even when it escapes the watchful edi-
torial gaze, even when no one in the office
picks it up, even when he himself is unaware
of it, there are still the old subscribers
thousands of them-vigilant, alert, aggres-
sive, resentful, eager to put their finger on
the break" communicate with the editor
and "show up" the writer and the paper.
These old subscribers, in my judgement, are
by far the most valuable asset newspaper
man can have. Their militant, microscopic,
scrutiny is the finest possible corrective in

Snow Removal And Roads

S A YOUNGSTER, the writer well re-
II members the old road to town and the
4 problem it was to the township and
later the county. 1t was built of good rich
Freeborn county mud which, while it pro-
duces fine crops, doesn't make the best poss-
ible road bed.
The contract for dragging" this stem
of traffic was periodically let to whoever
cared to do it most cheaply, while the neigh
bors complained if the work wasn't done at
just the right moment after each rain and
there was always an argument as to wheth-
er the road should have a high crown or be
left comparatively flat.
Then after pulling many strings, the
road was regarded and graveled. That was
"a big day and the troubles and arguments
were over, we thought. But the drag, we
found, brushed the sand and gravel into the
ditch when the town board in power favored
a fiat roadbed and when the high crown
board was elected, the rains washed the
gravel off. Springs came just as they had
before and the melting snow stood in the
road and wheels punched the gravel into the
roadbed. Frequent regraveling was neces-
sary with it's expense and inconvenience and
even then trips to town during about half
the months of the year had to be made by
team.
We have lost some track of the old road
and the problems it involved in recent years
but we do travel it about once per season
and never by team anymore. Modern meth
ods of grading and better gravel partly
solved the problem but the big improve
ment, we understand, came with snow re-
moval This was considered a luxury i've
years ago but it was discovered that getting
the snow into the ditch where it would melt
and run off in the spring without damaging
the bed saved much of the spring repair. 1,
was decided that the cost of each trip
through with plow not only made the road
more valuable the year around but saved
money in the long run.
With this background in mind we agree
with the county board and highway engin-
eer that while snow removal may appear to
be luxury when new winds blow the cuts
full few days after they are opened, the
account is more than balanced when the
roadbeds are comparatively sound and firm
through the spring breakup.
