 "If food, quite often, we don't take, we're sure to get tummy ache. Some of us eat but little, but wee Duncy stuffs 1t in"
 Say! Whats the big idea, nniss2 You always pick on me like this," said Duncy. "When I'm hungry, eat lots, I will admit.
 But, what's the diffrence If do? I'm satisfied, when I am through, and 1t Is food and lots Of 1t that keeps me feeling fit"

Appointment by Merit

Tot THE MOST popular speech but pos
IN sibly the most intelligent delivered be-
l fore Minnesota's country editors at
their convention last week was that of re-
preventative of women voters organization
working for the junking of the political
spoils system
Too many of the editors hold postmas-
terships or otherwise share in their party's
victory, or plan to share when the political
scene shifts, to applaud overly loud at the
suggestion yet the speaker touched on the
most serious menace to the Democratic
form of government today.
The ever growing number of bureaus"
made up of political hangers-on who hang on
long after the need for the bureau is past,
the encouragement of capable men from en-
tering public life because their exit will ne
cessarily follow the change in administration
and the disrespect for government which
such goings-on develop, all add danger signs
to the picture.
No political party, state or national,
will ever truly deserve the adjective pro
gressive" until it takes definite and drastic
stess to minimize the number of political
apsointees in government service.

Come Out Of Your Shell

At the end of the old year have you
ever counted over the new friends you have
made during the past year? With many of
us this number grows less and less AS we
grow older. This is partly because we lack
the breezy impulsiveness of youth, partly
because as we grow older, we pay more At
tention to convention or red tape. Many line
friendships are missed because people are
hesitant about bending convention. We can
all think back regretfully of an acquaint-
anceship that might have ripened into
friendship if we had not held back diffident-
ly fearing to thrust ourselves" on people.
We are minded of story about Henry
Ward Beecher, one of the greatest preachers
of all time. One Sunday Rev. Beecher was
told with some severity by some of his deac-
ons that he had used poor grammar in his
sermon that morning. did | really?" said
the great divine. "Well all have to say is
Gold help the grammar if it gets in my
way when I'm preaching" And so you
ought to say, God help convention when it
gets in the way of possible friendship
Speak to the person who interests you
whether it be on train or bus, in store
or doctors office. Most people are at heart
quite lonely especially as they grow older
and are surprised and delighted to have
someone take an interest in them. Their
own diffidence will melt in the glow of your
sincere interest and warm into liking and
friendship. During this coming year try
crawling out of your shell of reserve and
shyness and being friendly.-You will be
dumbfounded at the reward you will reap
in new friendships Home Circle

Political Picture

THE FEELING persists in the Twin Cit
les that Governor Olson will not be in
the political picture next summer and
fall and that all three parties will have most
interesting primary fights as forerunners
for wild fall election. Persons supposedly
''in the know" shake their heads and declare
the governor is not physically fit for cam
paign and has no chance Of regaining his
health before the election.
The death of Thomas D. Schall and the
retirement of Olson-if these rumors are
true-completely change the picture as far
as such men as Holm, Christianson, Andre
sen and Knudson in the Republican party,
Hoidale, Schilplin, Pfaender in the Demo-
cratic and Benson, Hjalmer and Harry Pet
erson, Magnus Johnson and others in the
Farmer-Labor party is concerned.
Most of them are wondering which way
to jump-and how.

MOnstrOsity Gone

)HALK up as one Of those tax legisla-
tion monstrosities which died quick
- death, the bill exempting household
goods and farm machinery from personal
property taxes which was passed at the last
regular session and repealed last week at
the special session.
Politically popular, the bill was supposed
to be, because it relieved good many city
dwellers, whose sole personal property is
some furniture from taxation. Not that we
needed relief from the few cents to few
dollars which we could afford to contribute
For the farmer or the city resident who
owned other property it was no relief be
cause the burden was simply shifted to pos.
sessions which were taxable
Now the thing is gone because it didnt
take into consideration the basic principle
that reduction in taxes first calls for re
duction in expenditures.

An exchange has this to say about a
dollar: "A dollar is something the average
business man enjoys more in anticipation
than in realization. 1t is the price of days
work for some men and the price of drink
for others. 1t is what the good wife fire.
quently needs, but seldom has. 1t is the
power that makes or unmakes men. 1t is
the hardest thing to get and the easiest
thing to get rid of known to mankind. It
is blessing in small measure and a curse
in many instances. No man ever had more
than he wanted and no man ever will. A
dollar is delusion, and all of us are chasing
the delusiOn"

Ware and Sweeney Are
Freed on $4,000, Half
Original Sum.
HIGHER FIGURE ASKED
BY DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Acting Chief Of Detectives Pro-
ceeds With Probe of Alleged
"Tip-offs."

Police officials refused to comment
today on the reduction of bond late
yesterday for Clarence Ware, 80, and
John Sweeney, 10. reputed members
of q Georgetown gang, who have been
charged with assault with intent to
kill in connection with the shooting
six weeks ago Of Joseph E. O'Brien
in a so-called bootleg war"
A few hours after they had pleaded
not guilty and were ordered held for
grand jury action under $4,000 bail
each by Police Court Judge John p.
Mcmahon, Ware and Sweeney, who
surrendered at the third precinct
Tuesday night, were at liberty again.
Their freedom was secured by At
torney Harry T. Whelan, who pro-
tested their bond was excessive.
Whelan conferred with Assistant
United States Attorney Irving Gold
stein and asked whether he had any
objection to his going before the court
and asking for q reduction in the
bonds.
Interposing no objection himself,
Goldstein sought the opinion of United
States Attorney Leslie c. Garnett and
his assistant, Harry Underwood.
Neither objected.
Goldstein then explained the facts
in the case to Justice F. Dickinson
Let's and he reduced the bail to
$4,000. Bond was posted Immediately.
u. S. Recommended $4,000.
Earlier the higher bond had been
fixed on the recommendation Of As
sistant United States Attorney Louis
Whitestone.
Capt. Ira E. Keck, acting chief of
detectives, had indicated he wanted
a $4,000 bond so Ware and Sweeney
could be held for questioning.
The detective head would not dis
cuss the reduction, however, other
than to say that's the business of
the district attorneys Office"
In the meantime, Capt. Keck went
ahead with an investigation ordered
by Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown
after rumors came to his attention
that police officers were suspected Of
tipping off" outsiders to the move
ments Of a special raiding squad
headed by Lieut.. Clement P. Cox.
Nothing has been uncovered to
form the basis for "veiled accusa-
tions" that "informers" thwarted the
search for Ware and Sweeney. Capt.
Keck said.
Still seeking another man in the
O'Brien shooting, Lieut.. Cox and his
squad Of detectives continued their
raids yesterday. They smashed
through barred door to enter an
alleged numbers" establishment in
the 1000 block of Seventeenth street,
but did not find their man.
