MAGNUS VERY ILL

Daily reports from the hospital on
the condition of Magnus Johnson. for
mer United States senator and we'll
known Famer-I aborite, are not so
good. One day he is little improved
and the next day he is weaker Be-
ing a man well up in the sixties, he
is waging a hard battle for life and
his thousands of friends out over the
state are hoping that he may recover.
The colorful Farmer-Laborite was
hurt in a minor automobile accident
II days ago. Following the accident,
which occurred on a st. Paul street
while he was crossing and was struck
by car, he remained in his hotel
room a few days. Being a very ag-
gressive man he would not "stay put"
and was too active visiting friends
who came to the hotel. Pneumonia
set in within a few days
Magnus Johnson is known far and
wide. He served few terms in the
Minnesota Legislature, after which in
special election in 1923, he was
chosen by the people to fill out the
uneXpired term of the late U. S. Sen
ator Knute Nelson He was defeated
in the 1924 election for the full term
He was also twice a candidate on the
Farmer-Labor ticket for governor In
1882 he was elected congressman-at-
large and defeated in 1894 for con-
gresham in the Sixth district. He
has already filed as a candidate for
governor on the Farmer-L abor ticket
this year.
Mr.. Johnson is one of the most
popular men that ever served I'm pub
lie life. He is popular because he
knows how to mix with people and is
one of them. He has never high
hated anybody and has a very cheer
full and lovable disposition. Many
good stories have been told about
Magnus and he enjoys hearing them
as we'll as anybody
Changes have taken place in Min
nesota's political life very suddenly
within the last few months. 1t is
little more than a month ago that
U. S. Senator Thomas d. Schall was
killed in an automobile accident;

SIX TO THREE

1t is not always points of conStitu-
tionality that confront the state and
United States supreme courts. so
therefore it is very important under
our form of government that we have
men who thoroughly understand and
appreciate the general public welfare
as members of such courts. There
is no getting away from the fact that
the judges like lawmakers. are
swayed in their decisions by the pres
sure of public opinion.
In a decision handed down by the
United States Supreme Court Monday,
the Great Northern Railway was
awarded approximately S225.OOO. The
railroad contended that North Dakota
taxes for 1888 were too high and that
sharp depreciation of depression val
ues had not been considered as had
been done in assessing railroad prop
erty in other states.
1t was a six to three decision, re-
versing the North Dakota courts and
was read by Justice Pierce Butler,
who formerly lived in ST. Paul But
note that it was the same three lib
eral members of the court who have
stood together on so many other de-
cisions, that dissented, namely, JUS
tees Stone, CardoZo and Brandeis.
Strangely enough with the halo built
around the court that the dissenters
on many opinions are the same three
or four men, How often do we find
Justice Pierce Butler voting with
Justices Stone, Cardozo and Brandies
on matters like the decision with
reference to railroad taxation?
That decision was matter of judg-
ment and natural inclination. The
training. the environment and the
general make up of ultra-conserva-
tives is different from that of men
like Justices Stone, Cardozo and
Brandeis. Naturally wealth is going
to maintain on the United States
Supreme Court as long as it can a

battlefield with moaning and travail
ing tongues, with rifles cooked and
with men cursing and blOod-thirsty
for One-unknown? No. Would it
be toward the arms of poverty, with
children searching the breast of emp
tiness and mothers staring helplessly,
sObbingly into the face of wretched
intemperance and economic insecur-
ity? No. Would it be toward a con-
demned criminal condemned prod
uct of sick and corrupt society, a
defective product of defective mold
would it be toward this one lead to
the ropes under the damnatiOn and
jeering mOckery of the world that
made him or, at least, did nothing to
prevent him becoming as he is? No,
These are all gruesOme scenes, but
this is the scene-two men they
might as we'll be women), they being
even neighbors, let's say. Men whose
minds are in harmony on a thousand
and one points; whose spirits would
cheer the other in a thousand and one
ways, but who, because of one diff
standing. have become blind to the
virtues and beauty of the other; fail
to recognize each other in public or
in private; and even SANDER and per-
secute each others personalities and,
with that, each others virtues and
beauties, because of one, just one dis
cOrdant note
Not only are these individuals per-
hitting their own personalities to be-
come discolored and battered into UNI
social beings by their petty grudges
and grievances, but they are actually
failing to recognize and are even
wrecking (probably by SANDER or
Otherwise) their natural and eternal
beauty given and sustained by a God
who must, in the last analysis, pre-
serve us all. Also, they are failing
to recognize what actually poor
worms we, as thinking beings, really
are. What man is so great as can
boast of one single original concep-
ton? Of all the parasites that life
sustains, man is the most crafty. lie
picks an idea here and another there;
puts them together in way that best
pleases him, and then energies boast
fully. reproducing them with an I'M
compromising air as if they were his
natural gift from and to eternity
And, upon this illicit arrogance,
friendships are broken; homes are
broken; personalities are wrecked;
communities, states, nations are
stirred into railing and distressing
disharmOny! And this is man!
Let us make our controversies. con-
trOversies of issues and not of
men," Let us agree and disagree
and be a friend of man, forever rec
Ognizing him as a moral and beauti-
full creation. Let us not judge per-
sonalities lest our darts become re-
created into boomerangs and two
edged swords.

MEATH THE THINKING CAP

Editor Askov American:
| really had planned on doing a
bit of dynamiting today. | have, in

posed these days to do a little Skin
mishing on the frontier" | have

You know, our social life, in it's
psychological sense, seems to revolve
about issues and men. The big
trouble arises when we forget the
tissues" and focus our entire atten-
ton Tor mostly SOY on men and men
only. There is certain blessedness
in freedom of speech. but only when
this freedom receives it's vitality
from issues-from unhindered express
siOns about life and living, rather
than from the incessant wrecking of
personalities. When our actions
whether they be of speech or deeds)
become centered upon mantle per-
sonality of man; when there becomes
question of man against man; when
man begins to harass, disfigure and
attempt to ruin man as being, as a
personality, then and there does free
dom cease. Not only are we opening
ourselves to similar attack, but the
pathetic part of the whole thing is
that this undertaking Ct call it social
blasphemy) fails in its very being,
to recognize any beauty, anything fine
and noble, anything that is great and
constructive. It's purpose is to de-
stroy without any recognition of the
many beautiful virtues which the one
attacked may possess.

THIS AND THAT
BY HAROLD L. PETERSON,
st. Paul, Mimi.
Looking Ahead.
st. Paul, Mimi.

Glenn Frank, University of WiscOn-
sin president, speaking of the father
of iona Gale, said, "He was one of
the few elderly men l have known
who seemed never to grow homesick
for the old. He never left the prov
of the boat, where he loved to feel
the spray of the future against his
face" l sort of like that statement
In fact, feel it is about the highest
social tribute that can be paid any
man. In times like these, when the
old order of economics is seen crum-
bling all around us, when a real he
man fighter for justice will not waste
any words painfully explaining the
obvious fact that the profit system
has broken dOwn-that job is mere
child's play and should be reserved
for children say, in times like
these we cannot weep over the past,
we cannot grow homesick for the old.
Rather, we should as American citi-
zens accept the challenge of apply
ing christian principles to our social
and economic structure We should
get into the prov of the boat Of HUI
mainly and do our bit to steer it
through the tempestous squalls on
the Sea of Life until we finally get
it into the harbor of a New Era.
Feeling the spray of the future in
our face, knowing we are doing the
utmost within our power to enlarge
the possibilities of all human beings
should be incentive enough-and re-
ward enough.
A Challenge to All.
We all know that among the great
nations Of the earth the strife for pro-
fit and power goes relentlessly on.
In the words of Norman Thomas,
Under these circumstances it is a
question no longer of individualism
against cOllectiveism, but of our ca
pacity to manage and curb collectiv-
ism so as to get plenty, maintain
peace, and release the powers of the
individual as a citizen and as a per-
son." These things we shall not
achieve by mere drifting. To work
out this problem is the greatest task
farseeing men have ever undertaken
for society. 1t is a task which re-
quires not a dogmatic creed but a
living philosophy of cooperation in
owning and managing the things nee
essary for our common life, philoso-
ply of the dignity of work and the
shame of Sinking, philosophy made
beautiful by the hope of plenty, peace
and freedom in an interdependent
world.
AS Emerson said, Go forth into the
busy world and love it, interest your
self in its life, mingle kindly with
it's joys and sorrows, try what you

can do for others rather than what
you can make them do for you, and
you will know what it is to have
friends" Yes, and not only that. bat
we will have world based on friend
ly commercial relationships If in
stead of merely praying for help to
BE Good we also would pray for
help to BE Good For Something"
then perhaps we would have more
taffy for the living and less epitaphy
for the dead"

IMPROVED, WOLFPACKr
MEETS CATHOLIC u.

College Station, Raleigh, Nov. 10
There are times when a defeat is
about as helpful to a ball club as
victory Such was N. C. States defeat
by Boston College on Saturday.
The game showed the Wolves that
they had at last reached the point
where they were great bal club.
Their running attack, with Joe Ky
neska and Eddie Berlinski setting the
pace, clicked. Their pass plays work
ed. Joe Schwerdt completed six out
of twelve. Their defense against Bos-
tons aerials was almost perfect, and
Charlie Gadd's kicking and pass re-
ceiving was great.
The Pack seems to have but two
major worries now-injured men and
a hard luck game jinx that has
made the ball club the Anthony Ad-
verse of Southern football. Nothing
but two unfortunate breaks kept State
from beating Boston.
The first came when Eddie Berlin
skis 60-yard run that put the ball in
scoring position was nullified when
officials ruled Joe Ryneska tripod
Boston player. According to Rynes-
ka, the Boston man admitted there
was no tripping, but Berlinski's gain
was lost.
The second State loss resulted when
Charlie Gadd, after taking pass
from Schwerdt, ran to Bottoms seven
yard line where in spinning out of
the arms of Boston player, the ball
was knocked from his arm and recov-
cred by the Eagles. 1t was tough
break for State and Gadd as he would
have scored.
The Boston game has given State
confidence and if the hard luck jinx
can be left behind Saturday when
State meets Catholic University at
Washington the Pack is confident
it will win the ball game. The team
is in the best frame of mind it has
been in all year.

CAROLINA SCOUTS
RATE DUKE HIGHLY
Tar Heels Working Hard
for Crucial Game at
Chapel Hill Saturday

Chapel Hill, Nov 1O-The Carolina
football squad has already begun in
tensive preparations for the crucial
Duke game here Saturday.
The Tar Heels and the Blue Devils
are both undefeated in State and Sou
them Conference loops, but Duke will
rule the favorite in Saturdays con-
test
Cardinals athletic director. Bob
Fetzer, who secuted the Duke-Wake
Forest game Saturday, has seen Duke
play several other times this season,
reports Coach Wallace Wade's charg-
es to be even better than they were
a year ago when they crushed the
brilliant Snavely- outfit, rated
eighth best team in the nation, by
the decisive score, 25 to 0.
"The Blue Devils have everything
that characterizes them as being one
of the outstanding teams in the coun-
try" said Coach Fetzer. Blocking,
passing, tackling. punting and run
ming, they excelled in all of these de-
partments over hard fighting but
cutclassed Baptist eleven"
"And talk about reserve strength!
Duke put two fine teams on the field
and both showed marked ability in
speed, cunningness and elusiveness.
Captain Parker, Upton, Smith, Hack
ney, Johnston, Gardner, O'Mara-they
all performed WE'LL
Captain Parker ran, passed and
kicked as we'll as he did against Ten
nessee two weeks ago. And you know
how good he was against the Vols"
The Blue Devils have outdistanced
the Tar Heels in running, passing and
punting this season. Including the
weekend tilt with the Deacons, Duke
has massed 1749 yards on rushing in
eight games as compared to 1112 for
Carolina in seven contests.
In passing The Blue Devils total is
SOB yards in eight games against 387
yards for Carolina in seven. In punt
ing Parker has 3-yard edge on Bur
nette per boot
But while Duke holds an edge over
Carolina, the Tar Heels will be
striving to repeat their upset to
over Duke in the 1884 game.

He is not much afraid Of the

If he can agree with Spain upon the
