Sleep knit up the rayeled sleeve Of are but fitfully December 3l, 1885 Rone's legions were marching on n Africa in a war that experts said hey could not win. At home, Ital- ans looked around for junk to throw nto the streets-their customary gay of celebrating a New Year put all the scraps had been put tc lse. So they dutifully turned theil ights out early for the sake of more economy and cursed the League of Nations and its sanctions.
 In London, naval conferees toss d in their slumber, wondering about Japan-whose envoys, per laps, speculated as to whispers in Eokyo's younger military set.

 Any public statement that he would not accept another nomina- ton would tend to weaken his po- sition for another reason. His silence would be a club, warning embryonic resurrectionists within the party that they might again have him to deal with as party leader in 1940. A renunciation would remove that club from his hands.
 Finally, if he decided to run but kept his decision to himself, there again would be disadvantages as well as advantages. Chief among the embarrassing factors would be the resentment of men in his own party who want to run in 194O themselves.

Builds Up Journal

He left the Sun to become man. aging editor of several editions of the New York World He had been in that post for seven years when, in 1897, the New York Evening Journal was trying to exist with a circulation of only 4O,000. Convinced that he could raise the circulation and save the Journal, he gave up his World salary Of Sl5,000 for the sake of trying out his ideas on the Journal as a salary of $8,000 a year.
 Within four months the Journal leaped to an unprecedented circula- ton figure and with it went Bris- bane's salary, this being part of his agreement with William Randolph Hearst. It was this job which turned Brisbane to editorial writ ing and it was his editorials that turned the circulation up, quite by accident. His first move was to hire a new editorial writer. The man he selected was a fortnight late in arriving. Brisbane pinch-hit with his simple style, and Journal read CTS clamored for more.

Syndicate Writer

Tn 1918 he took over the editor ship of the Chicago Herald and Examiner but did not relinquish the editorship of the Journal until 1921. His chief work, though, was writing for the Hearst syndicate He kept his office in New York.
 He purchased the Washington Times in 1917 and the Evening Wisconsin of Milwaukee in 1913 selling both to Hearst in 1919
 Brisbane turned out his columns with great speed. He dictated them while glancing over the late edi- tions of the evening papers and usually had 1900 to 1,50o words complete within 30 minutes. As he started for his home across the Hudson from New York he ire quently would take a secretary with him and make corrections on the ferry.
 Once, when starting a vacation, he is said to have turned out 39 editorials in three hours so that the Evening Journal would have a supply until his return.
 Was Always Prepared
 Wherever he went, regardless of the conveyance, he had a dictating machine and a secretary to tram scribe the sentences which he spoke into it. It was standard equipment for his automobile. On train trips he used sleeping car compartments for offices and the Pullman com pany was charged with seeing that the latest editions of papers in the territory which he was trayersing were awaiting him at stations.
 Brisbane was born in Buffalo, IN. r., December 12, 1884. His par ents were Albert and Sarah White Brisbane and he described his fath- Ier as moderately well off and able to send me abroad to study
 That study abroad came after he had received an early educa- ton in the public schools of Buff falo and Fanwood, N. J. At the latter place he taught Bible class in a Sunday School
 On July 20, 1912, he married Phoebe Cary of New York.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
BY GEORG STRANDVOLD

Ever since the days of the Patri-
clans and the Plebeians of the ancient
Roman republic there have been
squabbles between those who have
and those who have not, and as a
general rule it was the Plebeians who
were in revolt; the poor against the
rich; the non-landed against the
landed classes; the "rabble" against
the intellectuals; the mob against the
Selected Few. 1t was thus two thou
sand years ago, and it was thus ever
since, for although we speak no longer
of Patricians and Plebeians, those
identical classes still exist, and so
does the everlasting warfare te,ween
them.
When judged from background of
history the present Spanish civil war
puts things in reverse, for here it
actually is the modern successors of
the ancient Patricians who rise in re-
volt against the descendants of the
Plebeians. 1t is the reactiOnaries who
resort to arms against the radicals,
the conservatives against the liberals.
For once, the Patricians feel oppressed
by what they consider the heavy yoke
of the Plebeians; therefore, they fight.
When the American daily press refers
to the adherents of the present rad
ical-liberal government in Madrid as
Reds" it seeks to create in the minds
of it's readers the definite impression
that the government is communistic.
1t is not; there are few communists
in the parliament, none in the cab
met; the communistic influence upon
present-day public life in Spain is in
finitesimal, but no one denies that in
that country live a strong radicalism
and liberalism fostered by the oppres-
sion of which the reactionaries tt en-
selves years under the leader
ship of the late Dictator Primo de
Rivera-have been guilty. When a
pendulum swings to one side, a law
of nature, in time to come, causes it
to swing to the opposite, too.
Neutrality.
Considered as an episode in the
seemingly endless conflict between
the upper and the lower strata of So
ciety, the Spanish civil war is not
unimportant. It's real importance is,
however, derived from the interna-
tional complications which are i'm
piled, and the danger has not entirely
passed.
1t has been reported here that a
group of European nations, following
the example of France, pledged neu-
trality during the present Spanish
crisis. That, however, is to be inter-
preted with some modification, for il
appears that most of these nations
so far have accepted merely the prin-
ciple of neutrality; they have not all
given the official, the definite pledge
in formal declarations
Whether these will ever appear may
depend upon events within the very
near future; also the entire question

DENHAM, MOOSE LAKE
AUTO VICTIMS ARE
IMPROVING SLOWLY

All of the victims of an automobile
accident near Denham two weeks ago
are recovering from their injuries and
it is expected that no serious effects
will result, with the exception of some
scars from the decorations received.
Reynald Broten and the Misses Irene
and Frances Komar of Denham and
John Dahlin of Moose Lake, were the
injured ones.
The former three were riding in
the car which was crashed into from
the rear by one driven by Mr.. Dahlin.
The car which Dahlin hit was totally
demolished. Dahlin received a broken
leg, broken nose and other injuries.
Broten suffered broken shoulder and
other bruises and cuts and Irene
Komar has a broken arm, cuts and
bruises while her sister was severely
bruised and cut about the face and
waist. All were treated and confined
in the Community hospital for a few
days.
1t is reported that the crash oc-
Cured near the McVicker farm north
of Denham at about $3.50 o'clock in the
evening. An eye witness states that
the BrOten car was travelling east
when Dahlin's auto, going in the same
direction, struck them with terrific

Large NeD Barn
Being Built On Il
CLOUerdaLe Farm

The Chollett brothers, Russell, Ray
mond and Irwin, are erecting a large
and in every respect modern dairy
barn on their farm one mile east of
Cloverdale. The structure will be 100
feet long by 80 feet wide and has
a height of 80 feet. 1t has 50 win
dows, contains a modern ventilating
system, and is equipped with steel
barn furnishings, including individual
drinking cups supplied by running
water. It's gothic style roof makes it
not only pretty asset to the farm
and community but serves to house a
mammoth hay loft with capacity Of
80 tons. The barn has a stock ca
pacity of 40 head of cattle and nine
horses. 1t will be primed with alu-
minum paint and if this is a satisfac-
tory color arrangement then that will
be the finishing color.
The present owners took over the
Springdale farm in 1880 and erection
of the barn was started the week
after July under their own super
vision and with Charlie Bjork of AL
melund, as chief carpenter.

the roads by traffic and wind. How
ever, blading is required frequently
because of the bad washboard surface
which forms on the hard, dry sur
faces.
THE loss of gravel from the roads
this summer will be abnormally high
and will result in heavy money loss
We have also had to spend much more
than usual for dust laying treatments
on trunks through the smaller COM
munities. We are sometimes asked
why we do not put dust layer on all
the gravel roads. 1t would cost us
more than 100000 to do this for
only one season.
1.-The dryness has affected construc-
ton work as we'll as maintenance. 1t
is almost impossible to compact new
grading and graveling, which in many
cases remain soft and difficult to
drive over. Rains will remedy these
conditions, but meanwhile safe drivers
will avoid high speeds on gravel
roads,"

$500, 900 ADDED TO
STATE ROAD BILL
BY DRY WEATHER

The extended dry period this sum-
mer has increased trunk highway
maintenance costs on gravel roads by
at least 100000, according to an
estimate by N. w. Elsberg, state high
way commissioner.
Besides adding to the cost of MAIN
tenance, the long dry spell has made
it impossible to keep the gravel roads
in standard condition, and has also
increased the danger of fast driving,
Mr.. Elsberg said.
There are nearly 5000 miles of
gravel roads in the trunk SYSTEM" he
stated. These require considerable
moisture during the summer months
to keep them compacted and permit
satisfactory blading or smoothing OPP
erations. They are now so dry that
blading leaves soft mulch on the
surface which is rapidly thrown off
